Black dots on camera

As hordes have been facing, I too got the black dots on the camera issue (ZL C6502). Submitted it to the service centre. Thankfully, they saw it right away and said they will first try fixing it through software which I assured them is impossible as I had already updated to the latest firmware (.67 via PCC) and also tried other camera apps thinking maybe somehow the camera app was bugged and they said I would get a replacement which will take 15 days ! Now I am stuck with no phone to put my micro sim in. Though the service personnel told me that you can get some kind of an adapter where you can put in your micro sim and make it a full sim again. Let's see if I get a replacement and when. Disappointing. :(

Not sold in stores, you will have to apply a third party Screen guard now.
[Xperia Z General] unmaskedfalesh:
I dont think its available as spare bcz its a shatter proof sheet to prevent the shattering of glass so get another scratch guard n apply
[Xperia Z General] imranaryan:
Whats the price of ZL

[Xperia Z General] SateeshReddy:
ZL in india costs Rs.26,990. Can visit available stores at...

Hi there, can someone please upload and share the FTF file for Generic IN firmware. (

Thanks in advance. :)
[Xperia Z General] demonicangell™:
both havee same hardware more or less ..only difference is one is waterproof and the other has an ir blaster and camera key . nothing else . same ram same processor and speed :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z General] Cookie Ninja:
67 firmware (JB 4.2.2) is now available. Just upgraded .my 6603 today. Net connection is a little fickle, wait 2-3 days till i get to the plains....

Dead Cookies leave mo trails...
[Xperia Z General] coolrevi:
Excuse me dude. There is no difference between z and zl expect for water proof and body. In fact ZL IS better as it has IR BLASTER. Everything else is exactly same.
[Xperia Z General] ImAnurag:
Z looks premium while zl looks cheap plastic. But if you are a zl user you won't agree to it that's the problem :P
[Xperia Z General] coolrevi:
Ha ha well said.. I know is plastic, that's why I bought it even though I was stunned with the looks of Z. I'm a rough user.
[Xperia Z General] ImAnurag:
Both devices are good don't know why people are comparing them.

Only issue with zl is Sony didn't promote it like they did with Z bad marketting or intentionally it was done don't know..

Xperia Z Dead

Finally my XZ died on me. Tried everything but the phone cannot be revived. Gave it to the Sony Service Center. They said it cannot be revived and will give a replacement under warranty.

Those who got it replaced under warranty, how long did the process take? I am using my old BB and suffering :crying:
[Xperia Z General] warfareonly:
1 week max. Excluding any bank holidays, of course.

Call the XperiaCare number (the 1800 one) and ask for the status of the replacement. My service center was very lazy in calling me to collect my phone, wasted almost 4 days due to that!
[Xperia Z General] Rajeev:
How it happen??
[Xperia Z General] deeps.singh46:

[Xperia Z General] AndroidFreud:
Got the 4.3 update last week and really loving one main thing! Wifi range!!! There's a spot on my balcony I sit at every day, sipping coffee and using the phone and the signal would always drop out and switch to Edge all the time. The only way I could fix it was sit uncomfortably closer or go back in. Now I definitely have a MUCH stronger signal and am able to go a little further away as well. This in itself is such an awesome thing!!

But apart from that, not a big fan of the White UI in settings :( I keep pretty much everything else all black so it's annoying when you switch to settings and it goes white/silver. Don't know how to change it but it used to be black before.

Not too sure now about the battery life either. Was fantastic on 4.2.x but now i do find myself going for the charger at least one time in the day. Will need to observe more..

Anyone else with feedback?

Do you often get updates at your current local time? Is it 2:16am in India right now? Wait for your carrier update or flash one from another region.

I agree with Cookie Ninja.. Guys nothing is so exciting about KK update.. Feel glad u r still on 4.3 which is atleast stable enough.. And 4.4.2 has far too many serious bugs.. U don't wanna go for KK unless you are ready for some bugs.. :silly::silly:

Hey

Has anyone got KK update?
[Xperia Z General] anagramgenius:
Flashed 4.4.2 [NUT]'s pre-rooted rom. UI is smooth. The only place where it lags is in settings menu. It's not lag actually. The scrolling is not smooth as in 4.3. I'd rate 9/10 for that. Biggest con is, it drains battery a lot. Many users say it's google play services. But I don't use location services. In my case it was Android System which was using battery a lot. Overall experience was good.
