As the title suggests, superior auto mode seems to set the ISO values really high. I know I can just use manual but setting up takes a while. My brother has the Z1 compact and his camera appears to be so much better. Why is this?
Have you unlocked the bootloader?
If you have unlocked the bootloader the quality of the camera with low light became worse (only in superior auto)

Got the same problems since day one.. Doesn't necessearly mean that the bootloader has been unlocked..
My suggestions:
- don't use auto mode
- try clearing the data of the camera app (improved manual mode a little on my phone)
Ps: my drm keys are all intact!

Hello,
I have strange issue with my Xperia Z. I used to use many android based phones, so i believe Z's behaviour is incorrect. How it works - i.e. I have my Z laying on the table, when I launch some app supporting screen rotation i.e. browser, mail etc., it automatically rotates to landscape mode. When it's in landscape mode and I am lifting it up (keeping the device in portrait position) it doesn't switch into portrait mode at all or it's very very delayed. I haven't found any calibration settings in the software, so have no idea what I can do in order to let the screen rotate smoothly after physical position change.
Quick update - both orientation sensor in portrait mode and gyroscope are giving wired results. Can it be calibrated somehow?
Any advice appreciated!
Best regards,
MCC
Dial *#*#7378423#*#* there is calibrations.
This is only available in 4.2.2

I have 4.1.2 and the menu is there - i could calibrate gyroscope, but accelerometer calibration was unsuccessful - Error Code 1.
Anyhow after calibration of gyroscope result is the same - horizontal orientation sensor is shifted to the right ;( PLS see attached screenshot.
Best regards,
MCC
I just tried it and it's good on my phone,i don't know if it's a hardware issue.
You try another firmware maybe it's a software problem and maybe if you can update to 4.2.2

screen rotation,gyro,proximity,accelerometre not working
Hi guys;
My xperia z sensors are not working. I install android 5.0.2, 5.1.1 and 4.3 or 4.2 but don't solution.
Only light sensor and notification LED are works correct.
I dont understand this problem?
Please help me.
I try other sensor modul but it is not work.
What is my problem?
My english is poor, sorry.
Thanks your advice..
when I talk with my XZ1, and I should activate the proximity sensor with my ear, it often fails
often, the display light keeps ON and I activate with my ear all the possible functions (for example I had to turn off my airplane mode shortcut off to avoid to lose calls in progress pressing it with my ear!)
the only way to save all my calls is.... to remember to lock my screen before answering
do you know how can I fix it? :angel:
anybody had the same problem?
I'm having the same issue, really frustrating as I have ended calls several times and also muted, called extra calls etc...
Not happy about this at all
the same for me !
it's really annoying :'(
I just noticed. If I cover the sensor before making the call, the screen turns off when I press call, and comes back when I remove the cover.
I however can not make the screen turn off once I have removed the cover.
I get the same problem, I also had similar experience with my HTC One, I've found out if I lock the screen after dialing number/contact it helps, a bodge job I know but stops me going through the menus with my ear lol!

I've got problem with sensibility of the sensor some times.
I thinks i don't use the good position for the phone.
With xperia T i've used "pimp my rom" to lower the distance for proximity sensor. It was a lot better.
May be it's not the same problem as you cause it was not on every call.
BTW i've an other question about proximity sensor. I need to have it working with other app. i don't have try every option on pimp my rom and now my Z1 is back to root.
where's the "pimp my ROM" function to tweak proximity sensor?

In the app go to :
-> tweaks -> telephony -> proximity sensor delay
Edit :
since .257 proximity sensor don't work...
maybe do you need a rooted device?

Yes, pimp my rom need rooted device but i've read after upgrading.
So i loose root...
I don't have time to test root on .257 now
I've just tested "proximity screen off" (by playstore) on my. rooted. 257. It perfectly works No more problems during the calls

Had this problem. Just hold your phone properly wherein you touch the proximity sensor.

I had a bit different issue. When I dial a call, immediately the screen goes blank (proximity sensor is activated), but the call goes through well.
I powered off the phone and turned ON again, the issue did not occur. I have the latest software update

Xperia Z1 (C6902) India
SW version: C6902 14.1.G.2.257 Generic IN
dial *#*#7378423#*#* there is a calibration of sensor but for me when trying timeout error
you need to factory reset
a good solution without root is... to use the right ear talking on the phone. The problem seems to be sensor's position

Hello community,
I am having problems finding the firmware for this model, everything works fine (even bluetooth) but the camera is strange, the autofocus is not working!!!
I can use the camera only in time shift or using the Sony Apps, but going to superior auto or manual (when requiring focus), I cant take the pictures, i click and the camera stay as-is, touch screen or camera button dont work. They only way to go back is using the power button, later unlock and get to the camera.
The weird part is, when I switch to video mode, stays all black, but when I hit the record button, I see the number counting but video is all black (the led light comes on), and again, the only way to stop it is using the power button.
I try the force stop the camera App, clear cache or reboot, still the same.
I use the firmware C6902 Generic from .534 to .257 generic and even the TW version, and those firmware suffers the same issue, camera not auto-focus.
Any help will be appreciated. thanks!
Your firmware is screwed!
Backup and reset or backup and flash a new firmware.

That sounds like the bootloader unlock bug on 4.2
Are you on 4.2? Have you unlocked the bootloader?
Hey all!
I've been rooting away lately and came across this app, Pimp My Z1, with built in "glove mode" enabler. However, whatever I do this does not seem to work. The other Pen Mode toggle works perfectly though. I've seen that the Z1 Compact has a toggle in Display Settings but the Z1 doesn't - not even after enabling in the app. On the Compact I noticed some hover functionality that was already hard to reproduce in the time I held the device. But I cannot seem to make any glove functionality work on the Z1! :[
Do you know more about this Glove Mode? Please do share all of your knowledge.
P.S. I had seen an XDA thread for the Xperia SP which supposedly also has Glove Mode, and it would be enabled by unlocking the phone through gloves. But this doesn't work either on the Z1 (believe me, I have tried)
i also got this problems same as you

To be honest, I don't even think Glove Mode works on the Xperia Z1 then.
I've tried everything...
I think it's placebo effect....
Z1 had this mode in settings on 4.2 or 4.3 android, i cant remember, but since 4.4.4 its disabled and deleted from settings. dont know why.

I've never seen it in the Xperia Z1, and internet doesn't know about it either.
You sure you're not confused with the Z1 Compact? Because that phone does have Glove Mode (surprisingly).
P.S. once Glove Mode is activated, you will notice because large white circle surrounding the touches will appear. At least that's how it works on the Z1 Compact, so no placebo effects of thinking the display might be a little bit more sensitive. If it's activated, believe me, you'll notice...
Hi,
My girlfriend just bought a new P9. She took some pictures but there are some problem. In manual setting with high ISO there are a lot of noise and there are few green lines. Even in automatic settings quality of pictures are very poor. Could be an hardware problem? Is it possible to try with another camera App? Any suggestion?
Thank you!
ISO
Hello, I'm new on here but you mean Pro mode? I don't usually mess around with those settings, but i increased the ISO on my camera and it becomes abit grainy so I'm sure it's normal, i will attach the photo, the green lines you mention of im sure you can fix by just a reflash of the firmware or doing a factory reset. It's a great phone, i love it, best phone i ever had, can't wait for the Huawei p10.
Tomorrow I'll try to restore the phone. I read that there are a new firmware, L09C432B136. Now the phone has the L09C02B127 (its a Vodafone P9). Is it possible to install latest firmware over this?

You update the software by going to settings and the choose UPDATE from the bottom of the scroll.

Photos taken with highest available ISO are poor quality on every device, even newest dSLR.
In auto mode the quality is even worse due to greater amount of postprocessing - like noise reduction and sharpening.
When you are using Pro Mode, pictures never will be taken (and showing) as what you see on the phone screen. When you are using Pro Mode, you must use "correct" (maybe perfect) settings for your photograph.
Some of pro settings are can not effect in real-time when you take a photo, this is very normal for pro / like DSLR settings.
A problem with Bokeh mode
Hi guys, I got my P9 about a week ago, and had this issue after the first day or so since using it. So the problem is that in bokeh mode, the aperture size in bokeh mode would not adjust properly. When I tap on the screen to focus, it would do so then the aperture icon would disappear as well as the slider to adjust the depth of field.
Recently I forgot my passcode, and factory resetted the phone, and tested the camera. It was working fine, until the problem arised again. This issue was also in the gallery, where you re adjust the depth of field, and the icon would disappear, but can still be adjust by sliding next to where the icon 'used to be'.
Has anyone got this problem as well?
