Guys, correct me if I'm wrong but the SUS or Sony Update Service is an official application from Sony right? It's on their website. So it's safe to have the update there when there's still no notification on PC Companion or let's say you're having troubles in checking of updates via PC Companion?
Just asked cos as per the Sony or Xperia store here in the Philippines the're only mentioning updates via PCC, they don't have any idea about SUS.
Just wondering. :D

You will see in the software to update your phone to 4.3. It will install it. Warning you may lose all your apps and information. I did. I had to re-download all my apps again. Pictures were backed up on Google. Good luck.

FredgHar, 20 Dec 2013Very good phone, Stamina mode kick ass- never had to charge... moreI think that the flap covers of z1 will last a year or two, i use xperia x8 (ancestor of latest xperia) until now and the flap cover of my phone is worn last month, almost 2 1/2 years of everyday unflapping to charge. Cant wait for my z1. Note3 toobig, iphone underpower to small screen for, still sony tested using my x8 for 3 years, still in good condition except the software is very very old.

4.3 is better than 4.2.
Waiting for 4.4

In answer to the query re Android 4.3 - I refreshed the Update Centre and the option to upgrade to 4.3 appeared. It took about 25 minutes from start to re-start (I'm in Thailand - so may not be available yet in all markets). There was also some other system updates for the camera etc.
Only had my Z1 for a few days - but I'm generally impressed so far. I was looking at the Samsung Note 3 and Z1 and the 'official' reason for choosing the Z1 was that I wanted a waterproof phone so I can carry it on my bike and in the monsoon rains and at Holi and Songkran without messing with a waterproof bag ..... but the real reason was that I just liked it's solid, upmarket feel and looks.
By any logical assessment the Note 3 is a more advanced phone (more RAM, bigger, brighter screen, S-Pen) but the slight increase in size makes it a little more difficult to pocket and the pen seems to have limited use in practice unless you want to draw or can't type.
I wanted a decent camera - but the Nokia 1020 was out because it's not Android, screens a bit small and it's a bit fat! Most other options were out as I also wanted a removable micro SD card.
As a stylish, fast, good looking mobile it's great and the email capability is top notch as you can add bold or underline, change font size and add attachments all very easily so emails look like they've been sent from a laptop. Video play back also excellent and all my usual Apps run well.
Compared to the Note 3 the keyboard is not quite as good (less vibration feedback, more cramped, no numbers on the letters screen) but the rest of its operation is on par with the Samsung). I've seen some comments on the speaker - but it sounds loud and clear to me and the screen viewing angles are good - not sure why anyone would want to view a phone from the edge anyway.
Call quality is good and I've not had any of the WIFI reception or screen blank issues reported of some early phones. Battery life is excellent. So all good so far.
Then we come to the camera.
Yes it's better than most other phones except the Nokia - but only by a tiny margin. Noise is the main issue as well as a tendency to add strange shading to people's faces (also a noise issue) so I seem to have a permanent 5 0'clock shadow in any selfies.
There is more detail and a better dynamic range than a 'normal' mobile camera - but not by much.
I think the main issue is the hype from Sony about "the best camera". Measured on it's merits it's a fast, stylish phone with a decent camera (for a phone), nice screen and the benefit of being waterproof - but it does not excel as a camera phone.
If you expect it to only be slightly better than a normal phone in the camera department then I think you'll be delighted as it does everything else really well - but if you expect it to be a replacement for a decent compact camera then you may be disappointed.

I have a Z1 Mobile and I am in love with it.
I have a question guys, did any one of you updated the phone with 4.3 Android version? Because my phone is still not updating to the newest versions!

Is LMT Launcher going to work on a Sony Xperia Z1 if rooted?? I believe that it only requires root so will it work?? Coz I believe that we cannot unlock the bootloader for Z1 and this would probably not work if it also requires that as well.. One more reason I am asking this is because only Sony Xperia T is on the list of possible devices when you go to the LMT Launcher page and I am not sure if it will work if tried on my Z1.. Thanks in advanced!! :D
