Sony have started the rollout of the audio bug fix that sends the audio to the internal speaker rather than the external one
the new build number is 14.3.A.0.757
I don't have it yet but a fair few regions already have fingers crossed I get it soon even though I have only experienced the bug a few times it is very annonying.

They're in my head

Successfully updated to 14.3.A.0.757. Working OK for now. Only problem I have found so far is the option to change the lock screen background doesn't do anything.

ok so .757 is the one that fixes the sound bug problem. i thought the lock screen background issue could be fixed by doing a clean install?

Well my update went smoothly, I've had both the browser and the album apps throw up an error message saying that the apps had stopped working but it's only happened once so far, I can change my lock screen image so that's ok so it seems to be working ok so far but I'll need to test it some more.

I think I need to wipe mine and start again. Lock screen wallpaper won't chnage and Xperia Link crashes every time I try connecting to my Tablet Z.

Kitkat bugs so far. 1) When I play the Walkman via bluetooth headset, sometimes it doesn't play but the tracks skip in super quick succession and continues to skip without playing until I force close it. 2) 3rd party small apps crash 3) Some popular apps like Waze won't start with the infamous prompt "unfortunately the application has stopped" 4) Camera starts very slow from standby 5) Camera prone to crashing 6) Generally small lags in between operations. 7) Widgets get killed off again which has not happened for a while now.
Thing I absolutely hate: Quick settings now needs an extra click to access which defeats its quick nature and can now be rivaled by a settings widget. Its layout & icons looks half baked too. This has got to be Sony's worst customization in a while
Thing I absolutely love: The camera optimisation is the most radical & best improvement ever compared to all of my Sony/ Sony Ericsson devices. Superior Auto is nothing short of amazing on top of the option for 4:3 ratio. I can't be happier in the imaging department

I know it's early days yet as I only updated yesterday but does anyone else think that the battery is a little worse? Plus the phone is being held awake a lot more now 
I checked my network modes yesterday and the phone fired up using 4G where as I had it set to WCDMA so I've switched it back but there's no more 2G option there 
Hopefully I'll be able to check out the camera over the weekend though

so what improvements does Kitkat really bring for the Z1? is it really worth the update or are we better off with Jelly Bean...I already know kitkat means writing to sd cards is no go unless you root the phone. I have the Z1 compact and am perfectly happy with the OS on it....maybe the THROW implementation could be improved a bit but nothing major, and better codec support for video |

I have also found that the NFC icon in the Quick Settings doesn't appear to do anything. I haven't noticed any difference with the battery life but I haven't had much chance to test it.
I am going to do a full wipe and repair install to see if that helps improve things on my Z1.
