uk Crap z1, 11 Apr 2014Latest available software: 14.3.A.0.757 still not availabl... moreSame here. I'm on O2 and have all the known problems plus some not mentioned ( blank call log so I can't see whos calls I've missed through not hearing the thing )
From what I've seen the bug fix is available for the z ultra but not for z1. I think that Everyone should ask for their money back. That may speed Sony up!

Kitkat is full of bugs, seriously my Xperia Z1 Compact was the best phone ever before the update. It constantly freezes, camera loads really slow and almost every app misbehaves, crashes etc. Especially Snapchat, Instagram and other apps that require the camera.
Sony, Google. Please fix this asap.

After calling Sony here in the UK on the 9th April 2014 I've been told the bug fix was released Monday however worst case scenario it could take 2 weeks to get the no thE notification of the update, it's when it filters through to us.
Mean while I too have the following problems;
Phone rings through the earpiece not the speaker, this is the same when I watch a video. I found I can make the speaker work by pulling down the notification bar and touching the quick settings tab. As soon as I do my speaker starts to work.
Sadly this doesn't help the fact I'm missing important calls and messages as I can't hear the phone. I've since put it on vibrate in the hope I feel it.
I love my Z1 and Sony however I find it very unprofessional of Sony to release flawed software to our high end phones and then to be so slow on getting the fix to us
Also I've found apps misbehaving and my screen flicker. No doubt I'll find more. Come on Sony!!

Using 4.4.2 for a couple of days now.
Overall I haven't experiences the headaches others are. All of my applications work correctly.
Haven't had any freezing and the camera app works fine. I actually think they fixed the noise issue when using Superior Auto (or at least it isn't as bad.
The phone does get warm but it did this on 4.3 as well. It once got so hot on 4.3 it told me the camera app couldn't launch until the device cooled down. That only happened once and hasn't happened on 4.4.2.
As for the battery it does seem like it's draining a bit faster than before. Still able to get through 1 day on a single charge which is good enough for me (especially since I came from the Galaxy Nexus. We all know how bad that battery was)
I hope Sony releases an update soon so everyone can enjoy their Z1 again! It's such an awesome phone

Hi, it's me again. Now the phone freezed for the second time (curretly freezed now) I really hope Sony will fix this. It's super annoying.. It annoys the hell out of me and I am starting to slightly regret I bought it (just slightly, because I freaking LUVED it before this shit update)
Also, of topic, anyone know if the blurr from snapchat and stuff will be fixed? Maybe it's a Snapchat issue. As I presume the camera technology is build into the app of some kind. Since pictures gets blurry on other camera apps (Snapchat, Instagram etc.)

Actually when my Xperia z1 make a sound it is low because it came from the ear receiver and not the speaker. Sometimes it came out from the speaker only after a few seconds after ear receiver. Anyone notice or have the problem with me?

I searched the web and I found that the build number of the upcoming Kitkat update for Sony Z1, Z1 Compact and Z Ultra, will be "14.3.A.0.757". I assume that this would fixed the bugs from previous update build number 14.3.A.0.681.
The new update is already available for downloads at the Dev site @ http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/all-downloads/ . But, I think this could only be installed manually on rooted devices since this build number is not yet released by any carrier (if I'm not mistaken). Its a direct release from Dev Sony. Visit the link above.
If anyone could successfully installed this new update please post the steps.
Regarding some problem in the previous update, I activated STAMINA mode to prevent my device from overheating.
