@randomuser - that app website doesn't support Z1 yet. i wouldn't recommend using it for anyone until the site itself can confirm it will work on Z1..
and yes, rooting DOES void your warranty. though, i'm unsure if they can tell if you UNROOTed or not.
personally, i plan to wait until my warranty period has expired before rooting. never know what i might need it and it's a risk i'm not willing to take, to simply do a few extra things that i really don't need at the moment 
EDIT: err.. where'd your post go?

Rooting doesn't affect warranty. You are confusing rooting with unlocking bootloader  |

i am not confusing the two.
just going based on the website of the rooting app you linked, which says it voids warranty
i haven't read the warranty and i dunno what that app does exactly.. sooo hrmmm..
god i'm tired. i'm seeing double! (@_@)

That's just the website of an app. I've read over the years, that rooting doesn't affect the warranty. Also, you can always flash a stock rom with flashtool and all traces are gone.
I've also edited my previous post, the full size pictures should be available now. |

drsoran2 - great pics. seems like Z1 does really well now in daylight. its the lowlight performance that could be improved i think. as far as post processing goes. there's still much more potential in both day and night shots though, from what i've seen with the update.

Z1 has 6 hours of screen on time, I really envy right now!
what's about maximum screen on time you can get with the previous xperia s?
with rather xoxo network coverage, my xs screen on time maximum of 2.30 hrs or 2 hrs plus around 10% last
camera with latest firmware look surely big improvement. I hope it can get little bit more with next next update.
and I've got this infographic about US 4G LTE Coverage from Mosaik, it may helps for US folks here though

So even after update the blur is still here. It must be lens fault, that's sad.
Look closely at this pic from XperiaJunkie.
At the back of white car, you can see the "ghost" duplicate of it, and it happens where the blur is always present, must be some lens flaw that it got repeated when the sun is reflecting special way. Looks like G Lens is a disadvantage rather than advantage...
I've had the SAME issue on one of my Z photos. Full sun, the car looks like doubled.
It's a SW.

Video better than iPhone. Photos on par sometimes better as well.
In general - great performance.

So what did everyone think about my last batch of photos using the new. 534 software. I know there was a so called ghosting issue in one of the photos but i am curious to find out what you guys though of the rest of them.
I'm so happy 'cause today
I've found my friends ...
They're in my head

@drsoran2, Your pics are awesome. No blur on the right that's present on other units. What does that mean? That SW won't fix the blur, as it's hardware issue. Camera lottery anyone? |

Well here are some test shots from today, I am still on the older firmware, and haven't flashed the new FW yet, hoping Sony will seed it to me soon.

I will keep uploading test shots to that album as time passes. I actually checked the settings and on some of the photos instead of using the metering set as centre, I used average. I doubt that changed much.
Really tempted to flash the new firmware to see how the quality would change. |

So finally we have concrete evidence on the screen lottery. JDI Panel has been reported on XDA by someone, he claims to have the better screen.
So from the info I've heard there are 3 vendors -
Sharp
JDI
AUO
Sharp is the worst, JDI is IPS, AUO is high quality AHVA.
Dacha was right after all.
