The Sony stock player ,which sounds the best to my ears, now seems to play gaplessly after the update.

Good to know you got it working .

Personally I recommend a factory reset for a clean install after the  update but some people seems to be happy with just clearing apps data.

If it fixes the bugs I dont see a reason to do a factory reset. If you have one, please enlighten me. 

Hi all
Can somebody who owns Heiraudio 4.Ai iems tell me do they need amp  with z or does the z play them good enough without amp
I myself have the european version of Z.

I own the US version of the Z with the Heir 4.A, and it runs them well with no problems!

AFAIK, the european version has the volume cap, so you'll need one. Plus, if you have the two, why don't you see for yourself?

Well, the Walkman player wasn't the only app that was sluggish on my Z. I also noticed the battery was draining quite quickly when asleep. I know from my experience with PC that it is always safer to start with a clean slate as it avoid possible problems down the road. Battery life on my Z definitely improved after the reset. 

Of course if you have no issue with yours, no need for a reset. I just believe it is good practice to do so. 

finally got my Z and upgrade to ICS. AND WOW!

smooth interface like any other phones on the market. (i did the reboot method. thx zen and the other ones who mention this tip)

GREAT SQ and EQ. (maby ill make a mini-review bout the sound later on)

battery life isnt that good imo :(

also no charger for the Z (requires long hour for 100%)

for ppl whose wondering formats that this player support

1) yes it supports flac. no lag when changing songs works flawlessly. unfortunately, i only use mp3 and flac for my music. so idk much about other formats. (NO need to install apps to play flac)

2) mkv, mp4, avi and all other vids format WILL be supported ( i HIGHLY recommend MX PLAYER ) do install this app no matter what! ^^

need mx player to play mkv unfortunately. but mx really does well and its free!

currently pairing the Z with my ckm500.

I havent heard much talk of the Z walkman with the EX1000 IEMS. I definitely like it. Will have the PHA-1 soon, can wait to test it out. If it doesn't work out, well I can use it with my desktop & replace my Audioengine D1.

why my Z is always in low memory (ram)? and I must always clear that with task manager app when i wanna do/play some heavy app

The Walkman has a total of 512mb. User available is around 300, from which you only get to use around one-thirds.

My player is already full at 54GB of music, and I did not download any apps apart from poweramp :(

55gb is the max storage of the z1070, the extra 10gb is used by the system, and the max memory size is not really 64gb (like those internal HDDs, SSDs, etc.. its not exact.)
