Android 4.4.4 Camera Problem - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently updated to Android 4.4.4 on my Xperia Z1S and from then on, every time I take a picture, my camera just freezes and I have to lock and unlock in order to get out of the freeze. I haven't been able to take a picture since that time. Oh and btw, my phone is not rooted in any way.
Is there a fix for this? Or do I have to rollback to the previous version?

I am also experiencing this issue on my C6903, but not very ofter, would say hardly ever it occurs. Guess it is just application problem.

try to re flash the rom. it maybe works.

You are using a rom, its called stock.
Try forcing a repair using pccompanion.
Run it, choose software update and if it says you have the latest software click on the blue "Repair your device" in the dialog box.
This will wipe your phone but will repair the phone

I haven't had any camera issues on kit kat, it's actually better for me than it was on 4.3.

Did you try to switch phone off and on again? It looks like stupid software bug. If it wont work, wipe the camera's app data in settings

At&t Lg Flex D950 Upgraded to Kitkat with Root retained.

I have at&t LG Flex, rooted and than updated to kitkat, surprised was when it updated to Kikat and root was retained, I used all applications that require supersu and work like charm.
Follow this, If you did not upgraded root it with ioroot and don't unroot it, take OTA update and you will keep the root.
If you upgraded, downgrade it via lgflashtool method, root with ioroot and update ota and you will keep the root..Good Luck
Link to downgrade:

What did you do before hand? Cuz you're literally the only person so far i think. I tried everything and even went back to jelly bean 3 times trying to retain root with different programs. It would always error out on the update screen

Basically what I did was I rooted on JB and when KK update came, I removed root from superSu "unroot", I tried to upgrade to Kikkat and failed, so I did lgflashtool (you directed me by the way) and flashed it to JB, rooted again and kept the root and superSu..tried update from menu and went through and kept the root.

I was unable to try it out last night, ever since upgrading to kit Kat i can no longer choose which mode to connect (usb only, mtp, etc) so after flashing back the problem followed me which prevented me from running ioroot successfully. Luckily i had ordered a new flex yesterday from AT&T after their service center confirmed something was borked during the update, it'll be here Monday. Can't do anything till then.

So far it's only available for AT&T so that's nothing to "upload". Without recovery for these phones there's no way to create roms from kit Kat source

The battery drain was due to bug in Play services, recent update has resolved the issue to a certain extent
If rooted then you can install wakelock Xposed module.
For keyboard lag there was an update for the keyboard few weeks back try updating and see whether it resolves the issue.
For SD card issue check this thread
No I didn't root my phone coz i dont want to void my warranty ... Is der any other sd fix for non root user??......

There you go:
Does rooting void warranty? How's anyone ever gonna know it was rooted incase the warranty is going to be needed? I doubt they analyze each phone that much.
Regarding the keyboard, sometimes it lags a bit. Especially if it has been running for 24 hours or something. I've made a Tasker profile to "reboot" my keyboard app every 8 hours to keep it responsive.

Battery drain - The battery drain is caused by Google Play Services, which is not under Sony's control.
Keyboard lag - I had this to start with. It went away after a few reboots, along with most of the other lags in the settings etc.
SD card write - Not a bug, or anything that will be fixed by Sony. External SD permissions were changed by Google for security reasons and OEMs had to implement them or risk failing the certification for Google apps. Root and use something like this app to make the external SD work the same as before.
Edit - I see this has already mostly been said. When I entered the thread it only showed me one reply, then the others showed up after I posted. Strange. ?

It's possible that OTA updates might fail, as a system file is modified. You will always be able to use PC Companion/SUS to update though.

OTA updates might fail, or they might work. It's hard to say 100% either way.
When starting an OTA update, a check is made on the system partition of your phone to see if files have been removed or modified. It depends what is checked during this process. I have no way of knowing what a future OTA update from Sony will check, so we'll have to wait and see. ?

Crash like crazy with all ROM's | PLEASE HELP

Hello XDA Members
I'm fairly new to ROM's and all that.
I'm having major issues with my Xperia Z. I have tried installing so many Roms and spent the last 4 days trying to either find a ROM that is stable and will not crash or find out how to stop the crashing. I really need help!
I've installed:
PACMAN ROM [once]
CM 10.2.1 (stable) [about 3 times]
Cm11 [about twice]
Used Emma (Sony's flash tool) [10+ times]
Each one of those has crashed when either launching an app or doing anything even the so called stable ROM.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Or you can recommend me a ROM?
My device:
Sony Xperia Z Telstra locked
Unlocked bootloader with root access and CWM Recovery.
Originally Telstra version of 4.2 but Emma upgraded me to 4.4.2

Give this a shot
wipe the device completely from recovery(Dalvik cache, cache partition, data, data internal SD,format system)
reset the battery stats
Flash AOKP and check whether there is any difference
Okay thank you, how do I reset the battery status?
Any chance that you have a link to AOKP? I've tried to find it before but all the links are dead.
Thanks

Another picture
are you flashing files for 4.4? If you were on 5.1 then you should try files for 5.1.
And forget about 4.4. for now. You need to flash 5.1 and only after your phone will boot, then look for guide to downgrade.
you many need to flash the stock recovery (from 5.1) first, as your bootloader appears to be LOCKED now. after then, try flashing the stock 5.1 files. if successful, then you can unlock again via sunshine, flash TWRP recovery, then try to upgrade to 6.0. I'm pretty certain you should not try to downgrade, as that tends to cause problems.
Thanks
Just I'm downloading 5.1
