You have to wait for the update to be approved and released in your country, if your phone is or was locked to a carrier/network branded, you have to wait for them to approve and release the update.

Yes i've tried with SUS but not yet in PCC this phone was not originally bought in the Philippines it was just imported here and i bought it on a black market bec. The distribution of Z1 all over the world was so slow

Ok, you have to wait for the update to be released, not in your country (Philippines) but the original country the phone was released

Hi Yugs

I already updated mine last week. Updated it through SUS, although I checked first through PC Companion. What's your model number? Mine is a C6903 so there might be some difference in firmware update time if we're different models.

Also, an additional tip would be to maybe try it with multiple PCs (if you have more than one). I'm not sure but I saw that sometimes, user reports that they get update when they do it through another PC.

Let me know your status

I bought it through Kimstore. Not sure which country it comes from though.

Also, one other thing is I downloaded my update possibly through a ISP based on Singapore... I'm not too sure though if that is the case, I might need to check this week.

Oooh... Kimstore was my first option to bought the phone but i saw a diff. Shop that offers freebies.

Arrrg i dunno where this phone comes from. I guess your so lucky to have the update already.

Hi Dude, planning to get my phone on hot gadgets, did you get your phone there? how was it? i know it's a bit off topic.

Regarding the update, you can always use flashtool. However, it voids the warranty of the phone. Just patiently wait for the update. Recommended update will be through SUS since PCC is somewhat buggy.

ImInHell — Sun, 27 Oct 2013 16:18:26 GMT

The phone was good. And it would be very practical to buy there bec it has a free DK31 but the disadvantage is you don't have a sony warranty. But i guess i was not so lucky bec i got a Z1 that has so many issues about the screen maybe bec of the right firmware that the Z1 should had.

brapi2 — Sun, 27 Oct 2013 16:39:38 GMT

screen issues? what problems do you have on the screen? or does it have the overheating issue?

I got my ZL from hot gadgets way back and phone was really good with no problems at all.. planning to get the z1 from the same store also. However with all the problems posted here, I really am having doubts.

Don't want to waste my money on a faulty unit

Re: Any Filipino User of Xperia Z1 update to 14.1.G.2.257???? update in Philippines

ImInHell — Sun, 27 Oct 2013 17:11:10 GMT

Honestly not only Sony is encountering problems about smartphone but also other companies like iphone and samsung this maybe bec of the fast relasing of products they don't have enought time testing and calculating everythig but overall Z1 was AWESOME promise.

The screen has a yellow hue tint. And sometimes it would blackout but restarting the phone will resolve the issue and whike playing games the touch will suddenly stop and what i've notice lately was ending a phone call while tapping the end icon the call was not stop at all. But they say that the new update almost fix everything that's why i am waiting for it.

I'm in philippines right now and i bought it last week seens they release it. I actually updated my phone in latest firmware update by manually update and i dont if it safe.

I have issue in specs of my xperia z1. I download "antutu Benchmark" apps to see my spec if is correct i relealized that my resolution is wrong "1080x1776" instead of 1080x1920. I'm just saying my specs problem and i dont know if anyone has a some problem to mine. (sorry for bad english).

I think the yellow hue tint is the cause of faulty calibration of the triluminos display tech.

Thanks for the feedback and it's sad that if the unit has problems it would since it does not have a sony warranty. planning to replace my ZL. However, due to the faulty first batch modls. I think i should wait or probably wait for the next flagship..

Once the update lands on your phone, kindly send me a pm if it resolve the case. Have you tried informing the store? it has 3 days replacement

ImInHell — Sun, 27 Oct 2013 20:47:41 GMT

Yeah i've tried to go back to the store buy when i check to anothee unit it was the same i guess it is not a problem of a triluminous display tech. But a firmware or what so ever. I guess "Hndi pa tama ang TIMPLA" hehehehe

I'll keep in touch dude for you to know what could be the solution if there is one.

Yeah i have tried that application to and when i check what your trying to say. Unfortunetly it's true. It has 1080x1776 not following the specs given by sony of 1080x1920 of resolution

Thanks mate, I hope your unit gets fixed soon.. By the way, what did they tell you at the store?

I hope this is not a first batch defect.. do you also have overheating issues?
