your SD card over a network. Another example is that you currently cannot use the TomTom app to download your maps to the SD card if you are on KitKat.
Only first party apps are able to write to the SD card, which is why the File Commander app will still work on Xperia handsets running KitKat. Third-party developers can
get round the issue by creating a dedicated private folder on the SD card which the app can write to. A problem with going down this route though is that all data written to these private folders will be deleted as soon as the app is uninstalled.

Yeah, Xperia UI is the lightest, fastest, and prettiest UI. Touchwiz is nothing. Beware, 4.4 Kitkat didn't allow some apps to write data on Micro SD due to Google SD Restriction, it need root to allow apps write data on SD card.

            When it says bootloader unlocked allowed: YES that means we can root and unlocking the bootloader.
            I don't interesting to install custom rom on this device coz it already has high os (jelly bean) and beautiful UI, all want to do is installing Titanium back up.

            No BE... Ok no problem.

Yes, you can install Titanium Backup and restore your data on it. Unfortunately, Xperia E1 doesn't have BME2 or even Triluminos and X-Reality.

                          Hey, how do I know this phone is root-able or not?
                          One very important thing about rooting (for me) is so I can install Titanium back up app.
                          It can back up app+data(and saved game) cool app :-)
                          One more thing, does this phone has Bravia Engine?
                          Coz Sony album and movie app without BE seems to be not cool :-(

Yes, if you turn on CP and CA+ on, it will sacrifice the loudness to produce more clean and clear audio quality than usual but not that quite, though. Clear Audio will filter the Noise and Clear Phase will reduce sound distortion.

                              Really hope it has an IPS screen rather than Some floppy screen resolution

                                Finally a 4" version of xperia E, good phone but i wish the screen resolution could have been much better.

                                  Hi, friends i want to ask something, this phone has clear phase feature right? Does that clear phase feature will sacrifice sound volume when we enable it? (I mean sound will reduce when we enable it) please correct me if I am wrong.
                                  Can somebody also explain me the different between clear audio and clear phase ?

                                  Thank You.

                                    Xperia E1 was really superb low-end device. It has clear and loud audio quality and in several benchmark test, it managed to beat Xperia M, Xperia L, Xperia Z, SGS4 Mini, and Oppo Find 5 (take a look at Xperia E1 Benchmark Result)
