Camera flash - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The camera flash of the Z1 is somewhat disapointing. Is it posible to brighten it up some with a tweak or something or is it purely a hardware problem?

It is no problem with the flash. That's how bright the led is.

I heard about some app to tweak the camera flash but really not to do that because you will damage the led. So my advice is to keep it in that way. Still just a phone anyway and on daylight you still make awesome pictures.

Whats app voice message problem

Using stock z1 4.3 software. My girlfriend has the same phone and experiencing the same problem. So I'm wondering if it's a 4.3 problem.
When sending a voice message in what's app, by pressing and holding the mic button to talk causes the audio to sound garbled, with lots of interference.
If you try it the old fashion way by clicking the paperclip icon, selecting audio and choosing what's app recorder, it's crystal clear perfect.

I use Whazzuppe and I sent many recording files but like the pictures the files are all crap, whazz downsize and downgrade the files so I will not pretend much from it. You can also try to record the message with different app and send it with Whazz anyway so maybe the recording will be better.

Problem to send voice message I do not have but if you referring to the quality of the recording then yes, the quality is bad. I use Smart Voice Recorder and the quality of the recording is much better so I think you should not pretend much from Whazzapp. Try to record a message with different application and see if still the same like in the Whazzapp. You will see the quality is very different so the Whazzapp is the main reason of the bad recordings and you can do nothing about it.

Exactly. Cause I had no problem with what's app quality on other Android phones. So it seems to be a problem with the app itself. Hope they fix this with an update

Same problem here....
I don't know guys. At the moment I can't test it because my phone is back to Sony Center. I think should be some settings on the phone to improve the quality of the microphone but not sure if this will help with Whazzapp. Whazzapp still have crap recordings anyway.
my facebook messenger Same problem....
but wechat all fine
Whats app i no use
I have the same problem for Facebook messenger

Updated to the .136 firmware update and the problem still occurs with what's app when video recording. Sounds like your under water for some reason.

Disable overheat control

Of late I am noticing that my phone heats up quickly and bcoz of that it won't let me use the camera. When browsijg through the system apps I noticed an app called overheat control. I have frozen that app and now able to use my camera. Anyone else faced this issue?
Sent from my C6902 using XDA Premium HD app
no, but I would say that they're something wrong with your phone if you have to disable overheating protection to use your camera
That is an app to keep your phone safe from damage due to the heat. Its important IMHO.

Keep screen off when plugging in charger?

I'm looking for something to disable my screen switching on when I attach in my magnetic charger.
I'm not sure why it annoys me so much, but it does. Anybody have any recommendations?
Thanks!

unfortunately there is no option for this on official firmware
but there is such option in cyangenMod rom setting.
:good:
Nightmare, just flashed and set up kitslim. Was hoping there would be an xposed module or something

use gravitybox. I think it's available there.
Screen Tweaks from Xposed has this option
Checked gravity box and couldn't see that option anywhere.
Screen tweaks seems only to be for the Z1C, I tried it on my z1 and it changed nothing
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Free mobile app
After change options, you need to restart the phone.
It seems to be working now, think it must have been a ROM issue.
Cheers!

It's good to know that's its working on your Z1 now.
I am using Trinity Raptor ROM and the developer already included the Screen Tweak on the package.
