Don't flash other firmware. I always end up getting bugs and bugs.

The update thru PCC or OTA is the right for you.

I'm not experiencing bugs with the regular updates thru PCC as others do.

Thanks!

Im very happy with .290 so far, battery life is awesome, i don't have yellow hue screen and everything works flawlessly.

So after all your experiences, should i update my phone to .136 or whait for 4.4? I even got an OTA now. I see some guys are reporting that battery was better in .290 and some other bugs in .136?

Got this patch yesterday and my phone is back to doing random reboots again. FFS! I thought that this was a problem that went away months ago, so thanks a lot Sony.

I only just forgot how annoying it was to be doing something on the phone, only to have it pause for a bit - vibrate - and then restart.

And, to think, when I read about other problems last night I was thinking 'seems fine to me'. :(

    Upgraded using Sony PCC yesterday, and must say that I like the new build very good. My phone is totally stock, unrooted, non branded version.

    Overall the speed of the phone is a lot better. Especially in Hangouts and the launcher. No more waiting for two seconds after pressing the "home" button for icons to show.

    Also battery is drastically better for me. Two hours screen time, an hour of talking, everything on sync as normal and still 70 % battery after 12 hours... Pretty impressive.

    Still have black screen in Chrome on multitask, though. Annoying

    Anyone else have experiences or bugs to share? I will try to sum it all up in this first post, making it easier to get an overview. I will mark the info I have been able to confirm with green color.

    I'm planning to root my Z1, and stay in .290 with the japanese White Balance but, is it really that different? I'm on .136 and the WB doesn't work just by opening it, the sliders alter the screen very slightly and it makes the display dimmer, instead of brighter, as other have said.

    Will report tomorrow :)

    The yellow hue on my Z1 with the .136 is horrible when compared to .290 or older (even without WB). Even if i can manage to reduce it a bit with very high blue values in WB (starting at 100), i till can see clearly the yellowish screen. In addition i found the system to lag a lot in .136.

    I downgraded to .290 and sticking to it, as i see from what the folks are reporting (lower sound volume, broken sound enhancement, lower picture quality in dark areas, lag in the sensors BUT battery improvement) for me its not worth the upgrade for now and i'm very happy with the .290.

    with the updated firmware it seems that the sound enhancements are not working anymore..using Spotify and other music apps none of the effects work no matter it's on earphone/speaker, same after factory resets, anyone having the same problem? thanks

    Yeap, I have the exact same problem, the sound quality is not at all what it should be now. I hope one of our smart devs in this community comes up with an answer because this really sucks! :(

    EDIT: Hmmm, sound enhancements seem to be working in Walkman only. Very strange indeed...
