[Q] SIMLOCK - Xperia Z1 C6903 topic

Hi,

I was trying to install the deodexed version of 4.4.2 Stock rom for my C6903
But it stuck at SONY logo,
so i flashed the older 4.2.2 FTF (C6903_14.1.G.1.534_1276-4314_R2A.ftf)
And now my phone is SIMLOCKED what the hell.
It did not have a simlock before, because in Belgium they don't do that.

Is there a way to get rid of it without unlocking bootloader to get full control of device kernel and ****...

FYI - I have a TA Backup of a working 4.2.2 and also of a working 4.4.2, might that help me getting rid of the simlock?

Thanks in advice :)

[Q] How to use sony widgets after freezing stock xperia home? topic

I decided to use another launcher in place of the stock xperia one

so I also froze it with rom toolbox

In this case some of Sony provided widgets e.g. weather, disappear from the widgets menu or list in the app drawer

Is it possible to recover them and make them usable with other launchers somehow?

Thanks a lot

[Q] Xperia Z1 with CM11. Possible to get stock camera app from Z1? topic

Hello all.

Have the Xperia Z1 with CM11. Wondering if I can get the stock camera app running, and if possible, how?

Don't like the stock camera app for CM11 since I don't think it's able to benefit the good camera of the Z1 to the full extent.

[Q] Sony Xperia SP keeps restarting topic

I updated my phone to 12.1.A.0.266 a few weeks ago through wifi when Sony released it officially. And now my phone keeps restarting.It doesn't even reach the home screen. Factory reset(under the back panel) and any hard or soft reset doesn't work.

It all started after I updated the phone to the new firmware. The new UI was slow and laggy. Sometimes when I used to pick up the phone speaker used to be switched on.

From a few days, the volume on the screen just showed a horizontal bar and not the actual volume UI.
3-4 days ago Chrome crashed and 2 days ago Google search and Google now crashed. I installed Amazon kindle app for Android last night but that too crashed in the morning.

And from afternoon, the phone itself crashed.

How do I get my phone back to life?

Xperia Z1 vs Samsung Galaxy Camera S4 Zoom topic

Hello all ..,
today i bring you a little comparison of the top 2 i say cameras till now on the market .. Mighty bright Z1 vs Chunky camera zoom

maybe some of you know that i gave my wife the Z1 and got me the S4 zoom cause i was more into more manual control ... any yes its a camera not a phone but with compromising to the form factor.

so today jumped to my mind to do a comparison between both ... how do the Bright f/2.0 lens will match the dim f/3.1 in low light quick snaps ... why in quick snaps because the zoom could manipulate anything u need to give you the type of picture you want BUT in quick snaps you will not stand a time to play with manual settings. so for casual shots which is which ?

it turned out a little surprise ... the Z1 is a very good very good shooters for casual shots.

to make it easy i used manual mode 8mp (to allow over sampling) 16:9 all auto on the Z1 and 4:3 16mp (default) all auto (except some highlighted photos) to the zoom.

so lets roll to the photos ... all low lights

Galaxy Camera Auto settings all ranged between 1/6sec iso1250 while Z1 auto settings ranges from 1/10-1/16 iso400

Dim room



Zoom Auto



Z1 night mode



Zoom auto



Zoom night mode



Z1 3x lossless Zoom Auto 8Mp



Zoom Zoom Auto



Super dim Z1 Night mode 0.8sec iso200 f/2



Here i set the Zoom to same parameters as Z1 0.8sec iso200 but f/3.1 .. see the difference of the wider aperature Amazing



Some Manual adjustments with the Zoom Longer shutter



Z1 3x lossless zoom flash on



Zoom Zoom Auto



Zoom Zoom falsh Off






For me ... Z1 is better in quick snapshots press and shot due to bright f/2 while the Zoom if played in Expert mode will give u any output u need but u have to know whats ur doin.
