For me:

1. overheating when using camera still exists, just the camera app closed "due to high temperature" 😕
2. Battery drain is maybe minimal better, for me still exists
3. Small lag in UI still exists, example:
Go to settings - -> apps - -> try to scroll right to "currently working" apps = still lags, or while scrolling several apps.
4. Background and UI elements sometime disappears when coming back from heavy app.
5. Game performance still worse than before.

6. Calls ring in earpiece instead of loudspeaker = solved

Any other = do not know or solved.

Still a lot of work to make it good + Z2 features = still missing.

after testing the new firmware on z1 c6903 the sound bug is gone and ui is little nice but other problems still excist the heating issue using app for 5 mins like facebook and watsapp but speacially the camera taking few pictures heats up the phone near camera area and drains battery

still not fixed stuff

1 heat issue(using apps for 5 min)

2 camera not on par with other devices(produces too grainy pictures on higher res like 15.5 and 20.7 mp mode )

3 battery drain using apps and camera not fix that much still dosent looks like a 3000 mah phone

if this issues are fixed for z1 it becomes the best phone ever so fix this sony plz

Hi guys, after updating and a few restarts I noticed that the memory usage has improved but now the battery drains much faster.

I did not experience any of the issues with the KitKat update as many of you have.

After 2 days of. 757 update earpiece sound issue is solved but overheating is still there. My z1 overheats very easily by even using small apps like whatsapp. This is not acceptable. It overheats by using camera easily. Sony fix this
