Something interesting about the Smartband. When I used to control the camera I get the option for 18.7MP stills 4922x3744 in 4:3 format. The main camera app doesn't have this as a native resolution, seems a bit strange oh well wonder what else I will find out.

smartwatch has that option too through the remote camera app... if i recall correctly.
UPDATE: so i got my smartband today.. a very pleasant surprise! I gave it a charge and set it up. it feels great and am looking forward to seeing just how accurate it tracks everything. so far, it thinks I have gone for a run for a minute, even though all I did was walk around the house. Also, the lifelog app incorrectly tracked a phonecall i had as just one minute, when it was more like 20 minutes. strange. i refreshed a few times, but it did not update.
i noticed there is no cycling/biking tile in the lifelog app yet but the website said that more tiles would be coming with updates. so we'll see. it did update my smartband as soon as I paired it. I hope future updates improve everything! but for now, I really like how it feels and am excited to see what it can do and how well it actually does it.

Great to read the stories of you, moogoo&XperiaJunkie. I just might have to dive into that smartband thing. it's about 68 euro's over here. Not to bad, just want to read up on it if it's worth it
If it works with runkeeper, that would be a big plus.
keep sharing your experiences!

I don't know if it works with runkeeper but I'd imagine it would. I've noticed that it doesn't track phone calls accurately. steps, walking and running aren't too accurate either.. But I haven't set my stride length yet.
My biggest problem is that it had problems staying connected at times and doesn't easily reconnect either. Unless I'm doing something wrong..
it could be this kitkat firmware too.. hmmm

@moogoo and @XperiaJunkie
When using the smartband, ie connected to the phone, can you use another bluetooth device like bluetooth headphones? Or can only one be used at a time?

@ascariss yeah you can have upto three things connected at anyone time for example Smartband, Smartwatch and a Bluetooth device like headphones or loudspeaker.

Excellent, that is good news, I am still on the fence if I should order it, no idea if it will be that useful, can't seem to find any good or any reviews of it online.

i don't know if it's really something you get for usefulness or just a novelty for fun. i think it's more of a novelty than anything. the sensors in it are not accurate enough to detect everything with any real precision. it still tells me information that just isn't accurate in the lifelog app and that's disappointing. I do, however, like the smart wake up feature. Maybe it's just gotten lucky, but I do wake up with the vibration and i seem to be sort of awake already.. hmm..
as far as using it to control music and stuff, I haven't really tried it but I'm sure it works ok as long as the band stays connected. Again, that is my biggest peeve and I hope it's something that can be fixed with an update.. either to the band or to my Z1.
i wear it all the time though and i barely notice it.

For a long time I've been holding off updating to 4.4.2 on my Z1, now I finally did it.... I feel like an idiot for doing it. Did not realize that with 4.4.2, Google removed the ability to write to external sd card for third party app..... This is a feature I use extensively. Sony also split the quick setting and notification into two different pane, that's really annoying as I always need to turn things on and off quite frequently. All and all, not satisfy with this update.
