Same problem here...
another problem with xperia z, if you are talking via viber from the external speaker, once you finish your call the sound and notification will com out of the calling speaker not the external speaker. i hope could fix those issues in the next release.
I had exactly same problem as you did, bit it looks like it is Viber problem. My wife had same thing on hers SII and SIII. Viber uninstalled till bug free version don't come out.

Viber installation problem for Sony Xperia Z
Hi, I have a new Sony Xperia Z, and I downloaded the Viber app. After typing in my phone number, I was notified that an SMS was on its way to me, only this never happened. Even after getting support from my phone supplier, I am getting nothing. I was told at one of the stores that I have my contract for the phone with, that is was maybe due to the phone being so new! On this website, I see many people already using Viber on their Sony Xperia Z, Can you help?
I'm on stock 4.3 fw (SEUS Update). My camera is flickering (green lines) when on low light condition (indoor).
Anyone else is facing this bug? It's incredible.
Did you drop your Xperia V, if yes then that is due to the lens being damaged and some wires broke loose causing the "green lines" you are saying
I suggest you bring phone to Sony and expect to pay since warranty does not cover self-made damages on the phone
mine same problem in 4.1.2 is not there in 4.3 line are there

In 4.1.2 I've got no problem at all. Only with 4.3 camera flickers and record green lines over images.
It's a software problem, not hw.
This is a video (not mine) that show the bug:

I flash 9.2.A.0.295 Unbranded - Nordic and Brand 3 - Sweden (1269-3639)
and I'm having the same problem

Turning NFC to off seems to fix this for me. Xperia V 4.3 Unbranded.

I can confirm. On a brand new Xperia V (NEVER ROOT/Unlock BL, virgin!) disabling NFC and Image Stabilizer solve the green lines problem.
I can't test at the moment on a rooted Xperia V. Anyone can test and confirm it works also on rooted/unlocked BL device?
^works with unlocked BL as well
No problem with NFC off but why is this alwuff bug.
Is there any solution to this problem? :crying:

Try to turn off NFC in settings, it should fix the problem.

Yep, it seems to be the solution, anyway its annoying because if you are trying to take a fast video and NFC is On you are forced to lost time turning to homescreen and disabling NFC

It's really strange. It's known to be an issue related to the nfc chip...try (just for test) to disable wifi and bt (and radio) also and let us know.
i still have a problem with the recording focus sound...any solution? maybe another camera driver?
the xperia v has two microphones on the back and the mic beside the camera records the focus sound really loud i think...
Hi, everybody.
Could somebody please be so nice to take the Time to upload the camera APK from the Xperia Z?
White you do this, please mention the Android Version.
I prefer the APK from Android 4.1.
If possible, please make the APK installable without Flashing.
Thank you very much.

You won't be able to install it as normal Apk because it's a system one. You can only install it on the same firmware it came from for security reasons.
Also, the Camera from 4.1 will *only* work on Android 4.1 firmware for Xperia Z. Anything newer or different and it needs to be ported, because again - it's a system app.
In short, what you are asking for is not as simple as you think.

Yes i know.
The Oppo Find 7 Camera Application (DeOdexed) works on a Note 3 with Android 4.3, but the one from the S4 Zoom and Note 2 always says:
x App was not installed

Without mentioning any reason. It simply says, that the app was NOT installed (one word too much)
Lol yep. The Sony camera has a lot of dependencies, it ties into the system pretty tightly. Needs to be "ported". Are you on an Xperia Z or different device?

My device is a Note 3.
But it's just interesting to see that camera app on the Note 3.
I also wanted to try, if the limitless burst shot and HDR Video works.
The Oppo Find 7 Camera, with it's 50 MP HD-Images (which beat up the M9's Camera, but don't reach the Lumia 1020 or a Lumix FZ1000), works on the Note 3.
With that HD-Images, the detail amount lies between G4/S6/Note4 and Lumia 1020. (It's like 930 or so...).
But the colour quality of S6 and G4 is slightly better. The S6/G4 also have a little bit less noise than this HD-Images.
This is outdated and not maintained anymore. Please this new tool instead
Most of us have decided to unlock the bootloader as there is no root or xposed without it.
But as you may have noticed this wipes the masterkey in TA unit 66667 and will make all Sony credentials inaccesible. As a consequence a lot of functionality is lost, e.g x-reality, Sony application updates etc.
Here is a solution to simulate the credentials again. There is no way to recover your lost key, but we can simulate them. Just flash the attached zip via TWRP, that's all.
This is solution is for all Z5 models (Z5 compact, Z5 , Z5 Premium, and the dual models of course)
Have fun

I can say that I have tested this on Xperia Z5 Premium, and when I view the sample photos that came with the phone I can now clearly see the image quality scale up just like before I unlocked bootloader!
Thanks ALOT Tobias, you're the man!
EDIT: Below I have included my experiences from the original thread where this was posted, and I will continue to update it if I feel necessary!
Testing right now on Z5P, will report back!
EDIT: First test: I went into album and viewed the sample photos that came with the phone. I can now se a clear change in the image quality, just like before unlocking bootloader! Going to do some camera tests now!
EDIT2: My camera app will not start, stating it is already in use or the flashlight is. Will try to install camera 2.0 then see what happens.
Camera keeps crashing, and will not start :S
EDIT3: Now suddenly there were several updates available on the "Whats new" app! Will post a screenshot soon!
EDIT4: I installed a 3rd party camera app (CyanogenOS Camera) and the pictures are noticeably better than before this fix! I think I can say its back to the quality it was before unlocking bootloader!
In the meantime I discovered that my 32gb sd card is now almost full, with only 2gb left. Are there any large files that twrp creates other than the backup files everytime I flash a rom or something?
Is there anything I can safely delete here?
EDIT5: After some more camera testing and comparing pictures with my lumia 1020 and my galaxy s6 I can say that in my eyes the picture quality is back to its original state.
So just flash this in recovery on an unlocked bootloader and we are done? Or am I missing something?
I haven't unlocked my bootloader as of yet but I'm tempted to now.

I've read reports of Sony's Camera app not working after using this. Can you confirm if the TA partition only had DRM keys and not also some camera algorithms? If they did, can we use get those as well?

I assume you are refering to my experiences with this fix.
Although the sony camera app for some reason stopped working after this, I can still use all my other apps that include the use of the camera without problems, like snapchat or the Cyanogen Camera which when I take pictures with and compare them to the pictures taken before the DRM restore, I can clearly see that the picture quality is now back!

Actually, CyanogenOS Camera has it's own postprocesssing, so you aren't using Sony's. It's just an alternative. I still want to know if it's possible to get the Sony algorithms back and/or use Sony's Camera app.

Oh, I didnt know that, I thought it was just the app that looked different if you know what I mean?

I wonder, how likely do you think it is that Sony will be able to patch this exploit in the Marshmallow update?

I've just flashed the patch and my sony camera 2.0 is working. I guess you installed xposed which conflicted with camera 1.0, you'll need to deodex it or upgrade to camera 2.0 via What's New.
EDIT: I just tested Sony camera 2.0 to shoot with real high 3200iso indoor and no color noise there, confirmed this patch restored Sony low-light denoise algorithms.

I just tested CyanogenOS Camera. I think it actually make use of Sony engine, not to mention it works with 23MP/20MP mode and it also access all scenes mode in Sony camera just acting like a stock camera. Tried to shoot at indoor low-light, no color noise been found, I think the DRM patch is working good with CyanogenOS camera.
Great work OP!
you've made a breakout of the Z5 series!

I did over 2 weeks research in order to understand the whole mechanism and I have to admit that thre Sony security team did a pretty good job.
Anyway as I have a Z5 dual myself you can count on that I will make it work with Marshmallow.

But I already had xposed installed before this, and the camera was working fine. Also I am on a deodexed rom (RomAur).
Updated camera throught What's New, still nothing.
Need help please
Thanks for this. Installed and all working.

Btw mate, mind to share ur modded kernel (maybe with recovery image as well) for Z5 Dual? mine is E6683.
ehhh, i can't test because i'm not rooted (yet), but if this really works you are officially THE man! and i think you can start a campaign to claim the bounty that is out there. i know i would pay up my part!
that is, if it works (and keeps working on marshmallow)
So I just bought a phone and I am trying to get into recovery etc. I want to install AOSP rom for my Xperia Z.
I can't get into recovery because there is no PINK led for me to start pressing the volume keys.
but is all of that irrelevant?
I can't sign in using my google account, I have to sign using previous owners account. I don't think I'll get that.
Can I myself find out what xperia this is? I can't even be sure of that now. It just says Xperia Z on the backside, it's a massive, 5,7" screen.
are you sure, buddy?
Xperia Z has 5" screen
and there is no Xperia phone that has 5.7" screen

Hello! you were right, 5.5", i measured it against my Note 3 and they looked about the same, so i thought 5.7".
Either way, with the help of a buddy we got into the phone, and all of that works. Now I just have to root it, it's turned out to be a hassle, finding the right drivers so far hasn't yielded any results.
