[Sony Xperia ZL] GodKingKnight:
I have to say i'm very disappointed.

Not comparable to the HTC ONE or the Galaxy S4. Maybe new design but we didn't even get flagship. Sorry Sony.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Lusterboi:
Wtf is we didn't even get flagship? That's a reason the zl can't beat one or s4? Wow the people on this forum does not fail to amaze me with their stupidity every single day.
[Sony Xperia ZL] trickyhenry:
This phone is a flag ship. Sony may be behind on processor and screen but the difference against the competition in real world use is not visible. If you read all the blogs and believe everything you read you may believe this phone is inferior. Actually the ZL holds its own. Just sold my htc one for it. Horses for courses.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dpk1:
I prefer ZL over the two phones u mentioned. Overall ZL seems well rounded device & better suited to my use. Of course, ZL is a flagship (along with Z). I'd have answered objectively if only your post were so!

switching from nexus 4

I just ordered a 6502 today, should be here tuesday or wednesday.

I'm switching from a nexus 4. Yes I know but I have always liked Sony:laugh:
[Sony Xperia ZL] htc fan89:
You will keep picking it up, just feels so good in the hand. Sony has come along way from the days of x10
[Sony Xperia ZL] ronj1986:
Hey, I liked the x10!!!
[Sony Xperia ZL] htc fan89:
software was so blotted and the built quality was alright..
[Sony Xperia ZL] terrapin4:
Great phone!

I'm also waiting for my HTC One in the mail. My carrier was offering a ridiculous deal for the ZL so I went for it, and will make my decision when it comes. The ZL is awesome for many unique reasons and could very well become my DD

Elegant design - great feel in the hand!

Can use one handed because of compact design and small bezel

Display is gorgeous. Yeah we know about the poor viewing angles...but we mainly look at our phones straight on...right?

Sexy and visible LED notification light (HTC take note)

Power button has perfect placement. It's just accessible no matter how you pick up the phone (again take note HTC)

Expandable storage

Dedicated camera button

Clean and unbloated Android experience. Super fast ui response!

IR blaster works great with other devices

Great sound with headphones

No point in outlining negatives here. Either way you slice it this is a fantastic phone....enjoy it!
[Sony Xperia ZL] glovesave:
got it....love my 6502

It came today, haven't had time to play too much with it so still setting it up.

So far I am loving it.

Don't have to enable data to receive pictures in my texts (that always annoyed me on the Nexus 4). Also I am torn between all the updates vs giving even more info to Google. I picked the Sony route for a bit.

Love the 5 inch size, with the screen taking most of the front it is just right it seems :D

Went with the unlocked 6502, won't pay $200 extra for LTE (I'm on WIFI all the time anyways)
[Sony Xperia ZL] newworld11:
that's nice

It's so good to hear this from you.I also wanna buy a new mobile phone,mine is broken.esky,I wanna a cheaper one ,can you give me a choice?:fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia ZL] TechLife:
Nexus 4 is I think good choice Because it having same Processor(Quad-core 1.5 GHz APQ8064 Chipset ) as Xperia Zl & also 2GB of RAM in Nexus 4,

just the lacks are over the Xperia Zl with Huge Price difference are :

Nexus4 1.5 GHZ Quad-core APQ8064 Snapdragon S4 Pro vs 1.5 GHZ Quad-core APQ8064 Snapdragon S4 Pro Xperia ZL

Nexus4 16GB with No SDcard vs Xperia Zl 16GB with SDcard supported upto 32GB

Nexus4 8MP Camera vs 13.1MP Exmr RS,HDR Xperia ZL Camera

Nexus4 4.7" IPS(qHD) Display vs 5" TFT(FHD) wash out Xperia ZL Display

Also Same adreno320 GPU using both devices, But Nexus 4 is way too cheaper as compare to Xperia ZL,

also there is much more difference btw IPS Screen panel & TFT screen panel, I agree there is no need of viewing angle but in TFT from Straight front screen the Blacks are not as black its just looking like Greyish or less blacker,

Also choice is your Bro.....
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dpk1:
Some corrections & additions to your post:

- ZL readily supports 64 gb class 10 micro SD cards (I'm currently using sandisk 64 gb SDXC in it).

- Blacks are blacks & NOT greys on the ZL screen (head on)! Although, AMOLED screens do have deeper blacks.

- Then there are some features like:

dedicated camera button for camera quick launch,

IR blaster (for remote app),

better front camera (full hd video capture),

larger battery (2370 mAH) with better battery backup,

better ergonomics (nice grip & feel in hand as opposed to the glass back nexus 4),

better build quality,

sharper 5" full hd display packed into a chassis of size similar to nexus 4,

better benchmarks despite similar hardware probably owing to better "binning" of the SoC or sony optimisation.
[Sony Xperia ZL] akong702:
Anyone play final Fantasy VII on their ZL yet?
[Sony Xperia ZL] glovesave:
To be fair it is a feelings thing also and what you like etc. As long as you fully understand what you are going into it is good.

I really like my ZL and have no issues selling my Nexus 4.

I like the UI beter on Sony's and also I'm starting to be wary of giving Google all my info, but that is no different that not wanting to give Microsoft or Apple for that matter my info/business. I do have a nexus 10 that I like (also because it is cheaper than comparable other tablets).

I like the form factor of the ZL and how the device is small in addition to the screen.

I'm not even using my Nova Launcher as it seems less well integrated than Sony's ui.

But it's all taste and the NExus 4 is a nice phone too that is cheaper.
[Sony Xperia ZL] anirudh412:
Two words - battery life! The nexus 4 has atrocious battery life. Barely got me though 3/4 of the day with heavy use. Not to mention the glass back was always a cause for concern.
[Sony Xperia ZL] TechLife:
I know Zl is better than Nexus 4 but someone in Post asking for low prices So that's why I suggest him to Go for Nexus 4 & Enjoy near to Xperia ZL Hardware in cheap price with limited Storage option of Nexus4.

One thing more The Resale value of Xperia Zl is not good, Cause Let suppose If Sony in Coming Year 2014 or May be in Q3 of 2013 Introduce A Best Screen like IPS & Put better Battery in Smartphone, So we all people Go for that and than we have Xperia Zl to Replace with New Smartphone but we Pay A lot more money to Exchange our Upgrade.

What do you think?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Hardcore73:
Took on vacation

The high def video is top notch. It's just as good as my high def video camera I just bought.

Camera takes excellent pictures in daylight. You cannot use auto image during dark scenes, flash washes out colors of skin tones.

Screen brightness was great even walking the beach with full sun out.

Form factor and screen is excellent.

Battery life is good but had to reboot once because an app was stuck and draining battery too fast. Android bug.

Remote app is great for any TV device.

I have an HTC One preordered so after comparing them I will see which one will be my daily driver.

If you like Sony phones or more of a stock Android style phone, this is your baby for sure.

Hi, i have zopo zp300+ and the system partition is 500 mb.

i saw many guides how to resize that partition but each one was for a specific phone.

There is a way to do it for this mtk6577 Chinees phone?

Thanks.
[Android Themes] Thailandian:
I wanted to make my own wallpaper and got bored second guessing what it would look like on my tablet, so I made this template for GIMP.

It has masks and guides for both horizontal and vertical aspects. There is also a scrim to overlay "busy" photos to help your apps and widgets stand out.

To use:

Import your image as a layer.

Make sure your image layer is below the masks, and below the scrim if you intend to use it.

Scale your image. As you adjust the scale, use the guides (dashed lines) to show which parts of the image will appear in horizontal and vertical aspect. If you click and drag in the small circle in the centre of the layer, your can also position it during the scaling operation.

Make the scrim layer invisible.

Make either the vertical or horizontal mask visible and do fine positioning.

Switch to the other mask and do the same.

Turn off the masks.

If you want to use the scrim, make it visible and adjust the transparency.

Export as png.

This template is set at 1280X850 px. If you want a smaller wallpaper, you could either scale the template (the guides do stay in place) or scale your exported png file after.

Hope this helps someone.

That's what I'd do. Explain to them what you're trying to do, and what happens when you try to do it. If they say you should be able to do it/there's nothing on their side stopping that feature from working/their network supports it, then come back here & we can look at phone-side issues.

That you said you've had the problem 'since Gingerbread' makes me think it's not supported by your carrier.

[General Questions and Answers] Angjinhang:
Hey there!

i had a dual sim android phone... china made. it runs android 2.2 froyo and it is super sluggish. but it is just enough for making calls, sms, app developing and also document writing.

just because i don't use a sim card for this phone in the past, i never knew this problem.

now, i use a sim card, at sim 1. it works well, the signal is strong, and the data connection is also great. The only problem is when i open up apps that eat up my ram, such as kingsoft office, or any games, it shows this at the notification bar.

"Sim 1 restricted access changed."

And immediately i lost my signal and also data connection. this sucks because my mum always says that the phone call never works. but after a few seconds or minutes, it is back again. and when i open up a new app or installing a new app, this happens again.

please help!

thanks.

[HTC Droid DNA] ilogik:
I tried to update the radio, as soon as it started fastboot.exe crashed and the output came up in a fraction of a second as successful. Now my phone is stuck on the HTC screen and will not go beyond that.

**after trying a reboot no HTC came up now, its just a black screen with the green charge LED turned on...
[HTC Droid DNA] stillthisguy:
You need to reboot to hboot, run the toolkit, choose flash radio, choose 2. for 2.06 radio, then when it asks if you are in hboot or android type: hboot.
[HTC Droid DNA] madzozs:
So no matter what I try, when I use this to flash the radio or anything at all, my computer isn't seeing the device in fastboot. I've tried every driver I can find. I've uninstalled all drivers and used the ones from this kit and it still won't work. Windows 8/64bit. I've tried USB2 and 3 ports. Nothing.
[HTC Droid DNA] stillthisguy:
Windows 8 is a bit crabby about drivers for some reason. Try this, boot or reboot to hboot, plug phone into your comptuer. Open Device Manager> locate your device. On my Win 8/64bit computer it is listed under other devices when the drivers aren't working or installed and listed as Android 1.0. Right click on the device, click browse my computer for driver software. Under Search for driver software in this location: enter: C:\Windows\System32\Drivers, click Next. Should come up saying that it is installing drivers, and when finished it should say it successfully installed My HTC driver.

When the drivers are installed correctly, you will see your device listed under Android USB Devices>My HTC.
[HTC Droid DNA] madzozs:
It's showing as My HTC, but with the yellow triangle on it.
[HTC Droid DNA] ilogik:
Got it figured out, thanks!
[HTC Droid DNA] stillthisguy:
That normally indicates that the device won't start or some other issue. Could try reinstalling the driver the way I described, reboot mine help as well. Try a fun uninstall of the driver and set it up again.
[HTC Droid DNA] madzozs:
Welp, uninstalled the drivers and used the toolkit to reinstall. Now when I go into fastboot, device manager shows the device as HTC Android Interface(with yellow triangle) and still won't work. I try and had it scan for the driver in the folder mentioned before and it doesn't fix anything. Tried both types of USB ports as well. I feel like I may be completely **** out of luck with flashing anything new in fastboot. Luckily I was able to root/unlock/soff before my old computer **** the bed.
[HTC Droid DNA] stillthisguy:
Don't give up yet, I figured out what is wrong, not sure why the issue is happening on Win8 for drivers. The toolkit is placing the drivers in the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\drivers folder, which the drivers wont work from there. The driver need to be in C:\Windows\System32\drivers folder. So, just open the Drivers\Win7_64 folder within the toolkit, should be located at C:\Program Files (x86)\stillthisguy\HTC Droid DNA Toolkit\Drivers\Win7_64 for you and copy all the drivers from in there to C:\Windows\System32\drivers and then right click on the device and update the driver and point to C:\Windows\System32\drivers
