Hi there,

yesterday i talked with sony and now i get a parcel ticket to return the phone to them for downgrade to 4.2....

Hope, 4.4 is better...

I'm not sure about international posters here, (apologies to them) but according to the Sony Support staff I spoke to, ALL Sony phone handsets in the UK are covered by a 2 year warranty. 

If your Xperia device is faulty and it is still less than 2 years old (and you can prove this with a purchase receipt), contact them on 08705 237 237, and ask to return it to them for repair - the return is free of charge and it is insured by them.

If they cannot repair it, they will replace the handset.

However - be careful and make sure you keep a record of your communications with them - I returned my phone and all they did was a software re-flash and didnt even test the phone.  

Currently, my phone is now back with my vendor for them to repair - and they guarantee if it goes faulty again, they will replace the handset for free (fingers crossed).  (hopefully this will still be on 4.2)

Since updating to android 4.3 my xperia z looses Wi-Fi connectivity constantly with my Bt broadband router. Needs switching Off and on to reconnect. Also media share has become unreliable and throw sites not work at all.

If you unlocked bootloader,you will not be able to update,as the DRM keys are gone.You should visit a sony service for more assistance,as I am not informed into rooting.
