Thinking of going back to a Z1...

Hi guys,
I had a Z1 a few months ago but experienced quite a few issues with it. Anyway, I'm getting bored of my Note 3 now so I was considering going back to a Z1. I was just wondering, what a few issues been fixed.
I had an issue where when you type the phone seems to start vibrating and then as you continue to type the vibration got stronger and stronger like a build up...
Also do you really think the Z2 will drop soon? Why release two new Z1's and then a Z2? It leaves your product base a generation behind.

Never heard about this vibration issue, maybe a bug on the firmware or a bad configuration, but i have a Z1 and its perfect, i just had to change 3 times until solve the touch screen problem
But this phone is a BEAST, and i think that Z2 wont appear until next year.... I recommend you to come back to Z1 and be happy!

It's very normal and seems like it will build up but it's not. It vibrates less if you type quickly, if you type pressing well you see it vibrate stronger and typing consecutively let the vibration go up and you feel that but actually is normal.

BTW if ever the Z2 will be released it will be for the end of this year but before that there is Z1s and Compact. At the end depends of what you pretend exactly, Z1 it's a beast and when the Z2 will be released the Z1 will be more chipper so maybe you should think about it.

How will Sony combat their heat issue??

I have been offered a good deal on a Z3+ here in the UK.
I had the Z3 for a while, and I liked it quite a bit. the Z3+ looks good but I'm worried about the heat issue. I'm willing to wait till they fix it but my question is more of a curiosity.
Oneplus are using the 810, and they have said that they will under clock the CPU in order to keep temperatures low. Will Sony also do this, or can they stop the issue through tweaks?
I'm just looking for a discussion that will settle my mind and the mind of other Sony fans.
Cheers

I have the Z3+ for more then a week now and I havent experienced any overheating yet.

How good is your battery and is the pre-installed screen protector really just a regular screen protector that can be removed easily with the anti oil/fingerprint coating actually on the screen under the protector.?

What type of things do you do on your phone? Gaming or web browsing for long periods of time?

Yes both. I use my phone all day for all kinds of stuff.
The device CAN get warm when recording in 4K for long time or when playing large games but it doesnt get "hot". (I have this same "problem" with my Xperia Z so I am not that worried)

I am on first name basis with the store manager so should be able to test drive the phone for a few days. Thanks for your help hopefully I wont experience any issues.

Terrible first 2 days camera overheats even with new update . 24 as of July 2nd. Z3 was doing relative aa better job. Feeling stupid buying this so early. Don't want a Samsung just for ant+. Design is great.
Feeling Is hardware..... Issue

After using the camera for a few mins, I got a warning saying "camera app will close if phone overheats" or something along those lines. And it did after a minute.
I did the update as soon as I got it so I never tried the camera app with the software version that originally came with the phone . Just got the phone last night .

The only issue I have had is a reset crash the ui had stopped
I have all phones out there recently and this handset suits me for my needs with running and sport due to the water resistance

Black Spots on camera

Hi Guys
Its being a year with my Z...had lot of problems
But This one is major now,Camera got some weird black spots
Any solution for it?
Regret buying this phone
I've done evrythng...my lens is not scratched...but the ports of usb and earphones are damanged

brother, we're in the same boat.. although you're using Z but it's same as my ZL. Currently i have the same issue as yours but i'll fix it by replacing the camera part..
Now, i'm afraid that the camera would be damaged again, so i use Sony QX-10 as alternative.

Sony Z1 marshmallow 6.0 update?

Hello guys, i have a question. Does anybody knows what will be happen with marshmallow android 6.0 update? I heard that sony canceled update for sony z1 and z1 compact. What you guys can say about that?? Greetings

Don't get your hope up. It's very likely that Z1 will stay with 5.1.1. Sony said nothing about M for Z1 series (unlike Z2, Z3 series got confirmation) so indeed there might be a tiny chance Z1 series will get M but like I said, it's just a tiny chance.

Here in Serbia this cellphone is not cheap, its expensive. And its a dump idea to stop suporting. Its my think....

It's not matter of price, it's old and I think the phones that are people still buying are already made and just from big stocks. Our phone is almost 3 years old, really (I'm angry too, my phone is just 4 months old, but what can we do.. )

Eh it's still expensive like right now? If so then wow. In my country, you can buy Z1 as cheap as a low mid-range phone. (Sony pricing strategy really does suck)
Like others said Z1 is old and passed the 18 months promised support time from Sony. Yet we still receive bug fix and enhancement firmware like recent 236. I think we should be graceful for that since it's way better than other equivalent from other brands. Have you seen any Snapdragon 800 phone got M yet?
Also I don't know why many of you think not getting M is a stop support from Sony while we still indeed receive newer firmware build on 5.1.1. I think support means in the end you get the stable stuff not the newest one. Otherwise, after M people will demand N then O then P etc. for Z1 just for the sake that Z1 may have the spec to run it. And let's face it: even if Sony want to, they probably don't have enough resource to support Z1 (not with their current financial status). Supporting Z1 bring no benefit to Sony.
One more thing: if you look at the Z1 Update History on PTCRB, you'll see Sony did a fantastic job supporting this phone up until now. And even if we, by any chance, got the M, I'm sure it will feel like nothing because we won't get any new features (those are saved for latter Z series) - not to mention a new base firmware potentially bring lots of bugs.
==> I myself would be happy if they just provide me a super polished 5.1.1 firmware with no bugs at all.

How mutch cost z1 and z2 in your country?

The cheapest Z1 right now is around $175 and Z2 is about $250 I think. Xperia's pricing in my country is very unstable. It's usually start off really expensive then drop sharply just after a short time.
Oh here is the PTCRB link in case you're wondering.
https://www.ptcrb.com/vendor/complete/view_complete_request_guest.cfm?modelid=24328

well.. even Hammerhead can have 6.0, so why Honami cant?

Its like that in most countries. Start of expensive and declines rapidly.
Here its also about the same price in USD. Since they produce every 6 months, a rather sharp price drop is expected.
I did see a list of supported updates and z1 wasn't one of them to get M
Z2 however, was

Unlikely that we will see marshmallow, the phone is really quite old now. I guess it's possible if a Dev can get it fully working, but I don't see it happening any time soon. Not such a big deal though, Lolipop is working pretty much perfectly on my z1

Problems encounter upgrading from m2 to z3+.

Im using z5 rom in my m2
Lowest brightness in m2 is better than z3+ I think?
Battery in debloated m2 can keep up with z3+.
Maybe rooting my z3+ and debloating is the solution.
Major issue I encounter.
Ear piece works as loud speaker. O louder than loud speaker to the way that the you can feel the vibrations in back panel.
Phone vibration missing. I solved it by factory reset. But after an hour it wouldn't vibrate again. Maybe i got a defective handset.
Btw im in latest os.

It's twice as powerful as a m2 so trying to compare the battery life of a z3+ to a m2 is ridiculous especially running z5 style rom as there's only enough left to make it work compared to the z3+.
Stamina mode is also totally different in 5.1 compared to MM
My advice would be fine the newest firmware and flash it wiping the device to get the best results
I've just upgraded myself from the m2 to a xa talk about in a totally different league to the m2 z3+ is a good device I think but if you want to root it you'll need to unlock the Bootloader as its the only way to get root from the z3+ onwards unfortunately

Noted sir. I think rooting my z3+ is not on my plans right now. It out of my league. Rooting in z3+ is different from my recent m2. Btw i got a phone replace because of loss of vibration function. After a week this unit also lost its vibration. I dont know if its os or hardware. I didn't soak this phone in water yet so I'm confused right now why vibration is missing.

If on mm and stamina mode is activated it kills pretty much everything Inc vibration
