Guys, I've just update my xperia z1 by 4.4.2 yesterday, and so far there is no problem as you mentioned (or maybe I haveto monitor my phone longer). But overall, 4.4.2 seems doesn't have significant change compared to jelly bean...It feels slightly over heated when taking picture and playing games, but i think it's still in normal condition. I'll monitor my phone furher.
Thanks.

I used to love my phone since the day I bought it ( release day here in Norway). When I bought it, it came with 4.2.2 then later on ( a month or two) 4.3 rolled out and I loved the device even more.
When I noticed the new update coming up in the system updates, I was quite excited since I heard alot of good things about kitkat.
Now.. Its a pain in the ass, volume is low, bluetooth is super unstable, snapchat and applications who includes a camera takes a load of time to start up. Even the original camera applications, alot of stuff crashes alot.
Batterty drained slightly, I really hope this will be fixed. I even experienced problem talking in the phone ( audio was lacking and the people talked to struggled to hear me).
You guys know about a update who will fix this? I heard one is coming to fix audio, but nothing else.
Thanks for reading

The performance has degraded to the highest level.
1: Heats up like anything.
2: Battery drains up, even if we just keep the phone without performing any operations.
3: Charging time is too much.
4: Applications become unresponsive too often.
Sony , kindly provide an update and save your customers from porting to a new mobile phone.

Finally got mine to seed this morning. Update didn't take all 42 minutes.
So far I haven't experienced any issues. I've been able to open all apps; I've been listening to my music normally with no hiccups; phone isn't running hot... And it's seems like everything is running faster and smoother than before (not that noticeable phone was blazing fast on 4.3)
I'll see how the battery does because I see that's another issue others are having.
Knocking on wood...
BTW I actually prefer the old notification center (with the quick toggles at the top). The new Kit Kat version is closer to stock Android with Swipe 1 finger for notifications and swipe 2 fingers for quick settings.

to tell you the truth, I always wanted the new in Kit Kat to try out and since NEXUS is out some time Sony wanted to jump in too. I finnaly did an update when I plugged in my Cell phone into the computer.
the update was ready. did it and was happy. Maybe a half day or so.
I started noticing the heat and the battery drainage. It was unbelievable and couldnt have the phone in my pocket. Something is worng for sure with this update.
the phone from a full charge went dead in like 6 - 8 hours, with minimal calls, and was always hot!
with some reading I restored the phone to the previous jelly bean and my phone is capable of beeing on in standby and calls for 35 hours..!!!
Jelly bean is the way to go on this phne! dont bother with an update. not worth it.

My Z1 Compact even though factory unlocked and unbranded still has no update(OTA nor PC Companion). Being here in England, I was surprised not to have it by now. Although it may be some buggy firmware issues that are being quietly ironed out. My original firmware and software are quite good. I was looking to see what KitKat beings. I really wanted to leave it on stock since the phone is new and I don't want any possible issues with yet still new custom firmware flashing
