I just got my xperia z last week from Sony and I love everything about it. I just have a question; is it normal to have a slight yellowish tint at the bottome of the screen?

No,go replace it.

Thanks for the reply. Just wondering will it go away over time? Will the calibration app fix this issue?

I would do what gm007 recommends. Replace it. Had the yellow tint problem on the xperia s. Related to overheating behind the screen. Got it replaced by Sony.

Definitely not normal for the Xperia Z screen. You better send it back asap to have the highest chance of a direct swap.

Thanks guys I setup a RMA with sonystyle. Hopefully everything will go well

No AOSP for Z1? What is wrong with the device?

Sony just released AOSP code for whole bunch of Xperia device including Z and ZL. But what is going on with the Z1? The impression is winning that Sony has some serious problems with the Z1 as all the updates, news etc are hold behind...

Bootloader unlock issue.* There is nothing wrong with the bootloader itself.
But yeah it is frustrating to see them release an AOSP project for a low-end device like the Xperia L, while the flagship Z1 is still waiting. If I am to speculate I believe it literally is the issue with the current camera drivers, and I think we'll see an AOSP project for Z1 as soon as official 4.3 is released.

Does that mean Sony is releasing bootloader/camera fix with 4.3 release?

Hmm I wish we could somehow let Sony know that they should really look in this issue.
Apart from that, is there anything else users (not development experience) can do to help accelerate the fix for issue?

SUS downgraded my firmware from 4.3 to 4.1.2

Hi! I have strange problem over here Sony Update Service downgraded my Xperia V software from JB 4.3 (9.2.A.0.295) to 4.1.2 (9.1.A.1.140)... I checked SUS hoping that my Xperia V will get JB 4.3 (9.2.A.1.199) and SUS said that new software is available, i upgraded and BAM! Now i have JB 4.1.2 (9.1.A.1.140)... Anyone got this problem? Or i'm just so unlucky..

Try doing it again and see what happens

Truth is it is not ready for prime time.
Absolutely not my intention to offend anyone, but how the people can accept this piece of faulty software is astonishing for me.

I think it depends entirely on how people use their phones. I, for one, don't see any serious bugs, not to mention all the bloatware that comes with it, and can actually get 2 days of battery life on one charge. Actually, I can't think of any bug aside from the visual problem when installing apps.

There is one really annoying bug that occasionally prevents the display from turning on...

waste of money and a minor performance bost/upgrade to S5's 801 Snapdragon processor.
stick with the Z1, until at least the 805 processor based phones come out and you have a significant upgrade.

hi i was the same got rid of my s4 for z1, but i am sick of having to keep buying new devices every 4-6 months, just wait abit longer, z1 is not a bad phone, but the magic of sammy is calling lol, good luck with your decission, regards joe,

Despite the fact that it's really not an upgrade to go to S5, Samsung looks like sh1t compared to Z1 Z1 is a classy phone that looks good even if you're a businessman. S5 is a phone for people who just care about performance, that's my opinion.

..with a good Rooted Rom and Custom kernel you can Pimp your Phone and customize RGB and Withe Balance and 60% of bad angles you get rid of it.

If only I could find a phone with a decent 180 degree viewing angle......

You do NOT need to unlock the bootloader to gain root.
You do not void your warranty as rooting is a two way process
Also, as for guides...please search there are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of posts explaining how to do it. (I myself write it about 4 times a day, so one more wont hurt)
1) Flash a FTF ending in 534 for your phone (Find files and instructions in the mega collection thread in the general section)
2) Instal Dual Recovery (Find files and instructions in the dual recovery thread in the cross device development section)
3) Flash a 757 pre-rooted ROM of your choice (Find them in the development section)
Done

Thanks a lot,
One more thing I don't like In sony devices their software never bug free and launcher not so smooth/tweaked, wallpaper scrolling like less fps, touchscreen start miss after 2 days, I restart my phone then touch screen runs fine for more 2 days..
These Things Sony always fail to provide better software, waited 2 years but still sony behaves like noob,
Hardware wise like camera sound no doubt, it's nice. But software always buggy.

s5 is a bit better in performance but seems quite few that u cant feel the difference
z1 got a better camera and more stylish in my opinion
also the sony audio effects (u might be able to flash them on samsung anyway)

Z1 is a good phone, and if you like it, then don't upgrade to a new phone and wait till there is a phone you really want.

Guys is the touch screen dsync issue normal? I get it very slight, after 2 days I need to restart my phone to fix it, then it works fine.. Touch screen dsync issue is always happens it happens very less, mostly after 2 days of restart..
Is that normal?

It's a very small update but as Greg has said, don't even bother, if you're rooted and using a custom rom then wait for them to release an update, personally I don't think it's going to change much but it'll be up to the dev's to implement it.

I don't think any devs will release an update for it, its such a minor update (1.8mb) whats the point in making a new (almost) 1GB rom for it....

Yea haven't bothered with it myself, think this phones just about peaked. Unless they're going to give some of the Z2 features which we know our phones can handle, be a shame on Sony's part if they hold off things like double tap to wake and I think even timeshift @ 60fps would work too.

I telling you, they holding all this features to have the gap between Z1 and Z2. They have do this to sell the Z2 as best flagship and Z1 remain good for others who not pretend much. It's a political overtake move.

Right ok, For me good business is doing things that puts faith in your customers not take it away, least of all when Sony haven't got the best history of quality devices, x10, Xperia S. Both utterly awful phones, they've brought back a lot of custom since the T and the Z so for them to pull a move like holding back features which are quite capable of being put on previous flagship devices like the Z1 and the compact to me is ludicrous business sense, especially as theres only 5 months between the devices and even less for the compact.
If it was a hardware limitation then fair enough, but these aren't so actually it's not a completely common sense business move at all. It's a sly rabbit punch that isn't remotely hidden and everyone knows it, DT2W is on several phones now, timeshift has been proven to work on the Z1, albeit at 45fps, i'm sure that Sony could have made it happen on the Z1.
Makes no difference to me anyhow, the second I'm able to buy the oneplus i'll be flogging this phone anyway.

Well, we will have to agree to disagree,
I had the X10, still have it, and love it.

I made allready an update following nut"s guide, its based on the. 761 nórdic firmware.
