[Q] Did 4.3 totally destroy my camera?

What the he.. is wrong with the camera on my Sony Xperia Z?
Any picture take with the flash is ugly, grainy and way too bright and bland. Pictures taken without the flash are just ugly and grainy. It doesn't really seem to matter what setting I use or if I use Superior Auto or not.
Did Sony just totally mess up 4.3? Looking at older pictures, they seem fine to me.
Some current photos can be seen here in my G+ post.

backup ur apps and repair ur phone by PCC
thr s no another report about bad-camera on JB 4.3
so thr should be something wrong in ur device. (of course software problem.)
if repairing by pcc not solve ur problem then try to flash another stock rom from another region.
:good:

Will I lose root? If I lose root, wouldn't reparing with PCC just be a waste of time, since I'd have to flash a rooted stock rom right after it?

u will lose root access in new rom but why u wanna flash rooted rom!?
root it by yourself.
check dev section for rooting method and ...

I got the same issue.. i think that my photos are blured and not that much good after 4,3 update.. so decided to wipe and flash a new rom today but i didn't help after all.. I think we should try reflashing from SEUS
"edit"
I finally updated with Pc companion and the results for me are great.! it solved my camera issue and there is considerable difference between my previous camera and the Bravia Engine is working.!!
will try to not use rom again since i tried almost everyone and the camera was the same for me in them

Im my opinion this quality is horrible. I got the same on 4.2.2 and 4.3.
What do you think about it. is It problem with phone or with me
Maybe I have too big expectations

[Q] kitkat problems.

I recently updated my z1 (C6902) from 4.3 to 4.4 after updating it's ****ed up its giving me some problems first is sometimes the keyboard stopped working or sometimes the wallpaper and lock screen goes black and another problem is back button is not working properly.
Pls give solution I can't bear this things

We already know that KitKat is fabulous, you don't have to confirm that.
Do a Factory Reset, then let the Android alone for few days.

Oh ohk bro I'll try it.

If this will not help, last thing is to repair with PC Companion.

This is stock .201 with root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2704312 (I installed to v1.1. Dipesh is putting in some additional stuff later but I prefer it to be "stock". My fav as far as "stock" is concern)
This is stock+Z2 looks with root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658043 (I am currently on this, and installed up to V2. I like this a lot and most likely will not 'update' unless there is a very strong reason to do so)

AOSP ROMS are fine as I tried them.
Even the Google camera app recently launched on Google play works well km Sony kitkat ROM.
The issue is with the Sony camera app. Sony needs to do something about it.

This is really weird as on stock it should work very well, did you try a Factory Reset?

It was very simple. just download the latest firmware from setool support.

Strange, my camera will take one photo then freeze. Reboot is the only way to get it to respond again. An iPhone is looking more and more attractive given the problems my Z1 has.

[Q] Should I downgrade to 4.3?

I had enough with bugs of 4.4.2
But I never used the 4.3 before, I just bought it new
Should I downgrade? Does 4.3 have bugs?

Try it and see.
I find 4.4.2 rock stable. You say it has bugs.
So no one can tell you, that's the beauty of android. try it yourself and see what you are happy with

Well i am using the latest (14.3.A.0.757) one and I have bugs like;
*Sound delay in few games
*Wifi connectivity is low
*Wifi drops sometimes for no reason
It is not that stable or the problem just with my phone

Personally I've been using android 4.3 on my Xperia Z and it was much smoother for me than kitkat now on Xperia Z1.
So downgrading is a good option, I would do it too, but the viper4android isn't fully supported on 4.3 ROMs.

Maybe using some Custom Roms will solve all your problems?
As I wrote in some threads Evo4 for Z1 is stable as a rock I never had problems with it.

Camera crashes

Does anyone experienced lag and phone crash and random reboots, or when ever I take too many pictures with it?
I tried custom roms like RomAur 8.0, currently I am on rooted stock. But it still does crash and reboot itself.
I bought phone when it was on 4.3 and I never had any crashes then, so now I am also thinking to downgrade it. Any recommendations?

Yep, I have that. Although it's not been crashing when using camera on 761 yet.
But it has crashed once when using mxplayer and once when browsing the movies.
The "camera not available" pops up aswell from time to time.
I tried 4.3 and it never rebooted. Still touchscreen issues though.
