Hi all
Had the Xperia Z for under a day now, and loving most of what it does so far.
However, I have a problem with Flixster - I am able to log in and play trailers, but when trying to play my movies, I generally get an error which says "Unable to play movie on this device for security reasons, please try again." Only once has a movie loaded, and then it crashed almost straight away.
My device is not rooted (yet) and am running a stock Vodafone UK firmware.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Same issue here. I've had (and continue to have) a couple of battery life issues as well. Haven't figured out a way round it as yet. Working fine on my Nexus 7.
Works fine my end was Your phone direct from voda or Cpw or P4u mine was from P4u

Direct from Vodafone, so it does have the VF bloatware on. Maybe that's causing some problem do you think?
It is possible I had no issues like that I got a mate who got one direct ill ask him to try out flixter

DBT Germany is Unbranded and works well
Updated to the new firmware via Kies. Looks like it didn't address problems with wifi and battery drain.

I've been trying for hours to update to the EE firmware through Lies on my Windows 7 laptop, but the program just closes down after the " downloading update components " window.
I've tried googling this issue and it seems I'm not the only one experiencing it, but none of the possible solutions I've tried have made any difference.
I would appreciate any suggestions or advice, but I'm starting to consider the Odin method, which I've had no experience of using whatsoever.
Help!
I updated as well.
What problems are you experiencing with wifi and battery drain?
If anything the media storage on my phone seems better than my i9300 and wifi seems fine, unless you are referring to tethering which I have not tried
Here is the list of problems with wifi:
1. Connection is intermittent despite the setting to always on
2. Wifi range is bad compared to other phones in the same place connected to the same router
3. Connection is very slow compared to other devices
4. Even if it connects to the router, there is no Internet at times and that's a big problem in itself
5. Trying to connect to public hot spots is a waste of time
Battery drain is faster (4% per hour at least) despite disabling bloatware and switching of Google's hidden settings like location update etc.
By the way performed hard resets several times but no luck. Maybe the unit itself is faulty.

I would have thought so.
I have good wifi signal and tethering works as well. So it may be a faulty unit.

I have the exact same problem but you try and convince Orange that the phone is faulty and all they will do is offer to repair it
Well, after two failed repair attempts I'm considering legal action

According to samsung after 3 failed attempts to fix the phone they will give you a new handset
Thanks for the advice, I didn`t know that. I`m off to my local Samsung repair centre today to see what they say. Over the phone they said that if they agree it is faulty then they will simply replace it.
Good stuff. I have had experience with my i9300 already which has been sent twice to samsung repair. It takes a while but at least you get the job done. I don't trust mobile line providers as all they give is 14 days and they are supposed to give 28 but hey. What can I say.
Battery drain.
Turn off:
wifi,data and bluetooth during the day and only turn on when required.
Updated to 4.1.2 earlier today, multi-window seems like a good feature, however not many apps are supported. At first I manually searched for the update from my phone but it said I already had the latest software installed, but when I opened it through Kies I got the update notification.
Yes me too. Although I have to hate kies as its slow and sometimes sticky. Ill be going through odin from now on
Hi, I'm going to recieve the chromecast tomorrow and I was looking at the google cast app on the playstore and it says that it's not compatible with my device. Has any HTC One owner experienced this? I don't want to sideload it since I want to get notified of the updates...
Any ideas?
Thanks

I think it's country restricted, not a single reason for the device not to meet the requirements. Well I'm sure I'll find the way around it, I was just hoping for someone to come up with a idea

Yeah country restricted. I set mine up on the One 4.2.2 ARHD 12.
Fwiw you don't need the app for anything. Setup can be done through a web browser. It just makes it easier by automatically connecting to the hotspot and stuff

I'm running the stock rom on my One and it works just fine. It is definitely just a country restriction.

I know we have a lot of threads discussing 4.3 already, but those seem to be for people who have successfully downloaded it and worked with it. I'm curious to see how many others are still waiting on the update. I live in Canada and so far I've seen no sign of it, my device tells me I'm still up to date with 4.2.2. I don't have 3G but I regularly connect to WiFi.
It's not a very big deal... the update doesn't seem to have much that I need, except maybe a slightly faster speed when doing things. But yeah, I'm curious. Share your locations if you're still waiting.
EDIT: I really wish there was a way to edit the titles for threads...
EDIT 2: Thank you for that.

Im in russia with a UK model still waiting. Im too busy at the moment to actually flash it so im going to be patient and wait for OTA.
It seems we are always last on the list here to get OTA or any updates.
Could any Russian users post and let me know if they have the update
Kind regards

Canada here,
Still waiting on my N4 and N7.
N4 is on and off 3G doesn't seem to make a difference.
Last time around, the N7 got it within the week and N4 had to wait 2+ weeks until it arrived.
Austria; 212K N4 (stock everything) still nothing ...
I am on a custom rom and I am too lazy to go back to stock. Would wait for a week untill PA or CM have cooked their 4.3 builds.
UK, London - Tried the framework thing - Nothing....
Phone bought in UK, using Norwegian sim-card. Now travelling in Europe. Have checked (WIFI) in Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. Still nothing.
Croatia still didnt get it hopefully soon
No updates in Bangladesh either...

got tired of waiting after the OTA zip was published. downloaded the thing and sideloaded it. easy as pie and stopped me from checking the damn system update like an addict
check the excellent OTA thread, it should be easy enough for moderately literate geeks to flash it in a breeze

I am waiting, but not for the OTA that arrived on my phone a couple of days ago. I am waiting for all the bugs to get squashed and for the apps to get updated to accommodate 4.3.

In the UK just received the update
Austria. Got it offered today via OTA. Default System w unlocked bootloader. Installed wo problems.

If it comes it will be like last updates I think. Will have it couple weeks then the kitkat update. If I was betting man, it maybe the UK jumps to kitkat. Of course last in line if unlocked.

I tried yelp, it seems to be buggy and not working correctly but that might be because I live in sweden. We have swedish yelp so it should work I guess.
It might also be because I'm using custom ROM called liquidsmooth in my galaxy s3, yelp doesnt work always when my screen on my phone is off, so it could be some powersaving feature that turns off GPS and stuff in that ROM, I'm not sure.
It's a known issue. Foursquare doesn't seem to be working at all, and some people have Yelp working intermittently. Neither work for me at all, and never have. I've e-mailed Yelp and Foursquare's tech support departments but it's been months and have yet to receive a response.
no dice here on FoursSQ.. any one heard from the devs ?
Foursquare was working for me while it was in beta. Now it doesn't. Ha

These apps are highly recommended in most reviews..surenly will get updated soon.
