I find it comical that members feel the need to open a new thread only to voice their displeasure. Thanks for your opinion and best of luck with whichever device you obtain next. I wish I had such trivial things to fixate on as vibration sensation.
[Sony Xperia ZL] tenshi888:
I had a previous unit where the vibration was loud it made a very cheap sound. I eventually replaced the unit due to a bad camera everything was noisy. My new unit is much better, the vibration is no longer strange in any way. Maybe some bad units going around.

#firstworldproblems man. (shakes head)
[Sony Xperia ZL] sturmtruppler:
Lol... yes, that's why i bought it...
[Sony Xperia ZL] anirudh412:
Do you mean the colors are washed out head on? If thats the case, then you should try getting a different unit. My screen looks really good. Its only when you tilt it does the screen wash out real quick. It sucks and detracts the quality of the phone, but the pros of the ZL far outweigh something which wont matter to me as i rarely look at the screen from an angle.

As for the vibration, I didn't notice yet before you mentioned it. But yes, it does seem a little weak.
[Sony Xperia ZL] rycexboi:
I got my phone like 3 days ago, not having any issues with it. Screen looks great while watching videos or playing games. I don't need that blue tint or any of those oversaturated crap.
[Sony Xperia ZL] anirudh412:
Yep, thats why I absolutely detest AMOLED screens! However, no reason Sony couldnt have put in a LCD that looks as good as the One X. The screen on that phone is spectacular
[Sony Xperia ZL] stygian16:
+1, no need for a new thread.. if it was an in-depth review that's another story...
[Sony Xperia ZL] glovesave:
up to the user

I just read this thread now and I agree good luck to you on whichever phone you like and hopefully it is all you want it to be.

I have now gotten into a seemingly 6 months or less cycle before I decide to try something new...ugh :)

The only thing I have to say is having an unlocked phone is so much better as you are not tied into the cell providers Android update cycle (if they want it) and their bloatware.

One more thing, having had a note I am not a fan in general of the crazy colore on the AMOLED screens.

As it is it is a feeling - I just love my ZL (and my Nexus 4 is going bye bye - I do have a Nexus 10)
[Sony Xperia ZL] TechLife:
As compare to Nexus 4,How is looking your Xperia ZL Colors(I'm not asking about viewing angle), is it possible to Put Stock Android in Zl if yes anyone try it,How the experience feel with stock?
[Sony Xperia ZL] username2k13:
hmm

Those over saturated screens make the screen look amazing. Why did you guys choose to get an xperia? I'd rather get the s4 because its easier to root and plus there's always a ton of ROMs for it
[Sony Xperia ZL] randy_c:
I like Sony for their design. If samsung would change the design from plastic to something better then I wouldn't mind buying one from Samsung. The phone feel too light and like holding a toy in your hand...
[Sony Xperia ZL] glovesave:
The colors seem very comparable, neither phone has over-saturated colors. The ZL screen is gorgeous, but if you are looking for a deal, the Nexus is it for 350.
[Sony Xperia ZL] anirudh412:
Screen tech is a matter of personal choice. Those over saturated colors give me a raging headache if i look at the screen for a long time, i.e playing games, watching movies. I dont know how exactly to put this but LCD screens just LOOK more sophisticated and toned down. Uhh, like a printed sheet of paper. Unlike AMOLED which looks like a kindergarten kid went wild with crayons on the screen.

And Samsung phones easier to root? Building ROMS for them are a PITA. Ask every single dev who has completely abandoned Samsung phones. there might be plenty of ROMs sure, but all of them have some or the other problem. Not to mention the fact that Samsung are a bunch of liars.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Bagbug:
why did you order this phone in the first place ??? Dont you think you should read/watch reviews before getting a $600.00 phone ?
[Sony Xperia ZL] wingzero2085:
Completely agree, here. I came to the ZL from nothing but Samsung phones (Captivate, Galaxy Nexus, SGS3), and I much prefer the ZL's screen to any Samsung phone screen. For one, I can never read Sammy screens when outdoors on a cloudless sunny day, even with the brightness at maximum. I have had no issues reading the ZL screen in the same conditions, which I'll take over better viewing angles and oversaturated colors any day. As for comparing to LG screens, well, if I'm not mistaken, LG also makes amoled screens, so I wouldn't expect much different than Sammy screens there -- last I checked, the two were suing each other over the technology. The ZL compared to the N4 -- I must say, I finally saw an N4 in person this past weekend, and the screen on it is quite beautiful. I still like my ZL, though, and the lack of LTE radios in the N4 makes it a non-issue for me, no matter how pretty the phone might be (and I'm not keen on a glass back anyways).

I do agree that it would have been great had Sony used something as nice as the LCD in the One X, though. That screen was amazing looking (I had the pleasure of seeing one in person when my brother had a One X for awhile).

Good luck to the OP in finding a device that meets those expectations -- the ZL is the first AT&T LTE capable unlocked phone to hit the USA, and that's a big part of why it intrigued me, too. I suspect it'll be awhile before there's another device like that ...

Where are you guys buying the phone from?
[Sony Xperia ZL] darkjedi:
I bought mine from the Sony Store in LA.

[Sony Xperia ZL] sturmtruppler:
Hey everyone!

As I told you I did send my device back. But I ordered a new one, and the difference is like day and night! On this ZL display is clear and sharp,even viewing angles are better. Strange... are there different charges of the phone?

Only problem I have is Wifi. It always drops connection, and signal strength is bad even when standing next to the router.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alkarins:
Hi guys, i have the ROM JellyBam v7.4 Stable, but when i flashed it, cant see my files in usb mode.

I Istalled ES Explorer and can see my files with the app, but cant in windows, help me, what i have to do to copy all my files in SDcard.

Other thing, i cant see my pictures in the gallery.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyberBeaR:
Yesterday I was finally able to upgrade my i9020A from 2.3.6 to 4.1.2! I was very happy of the success but then I noticed something very strange, the battery was draining quickly.

I checked the battery and it said that Google+ was responsible for 64% or w/e of the battery drain. I disabled it. Rebooted the device. Today when I chekced the battery, Screen was responsible for 50ish% of the battery consumption. I then shut down the phone, removed and re-inserted the battery and turned it on. Now when I turned it on it says Maps is responsible for 63%, while screen is now only 9%.

What the hell is happening? I've read in the internetz that this is supposed to be an error with the SD card, that I should remove it and re-insert it, or try formatting it. But how can I remove it since Nexus S has a internal SD Card?

Could someone please try helping me?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1eyedmonster:
Jb based roms are a lot more power consuming than gb roms especially stock jb!

I would flash a custom rom as most custom kernels are alot better than stock this will let you use CPU control to manage goveners (battery saving/performance) depending on your chosen kernel

Do your research there are many rom options with pros and cons I use baked blackbean 8 it's stable and battery life is good

Please be aware you will need to unlock your bootloader to flash certain roms which is entirely at your own risk and may invalidate warranty's

This tool will do everything for you

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smit.sanghavi:
I suggest using SlimBean ROM. it us based on 4.2.2 (older builds also present)...

It has good battery life.

It is a slimmed down version of the actual OS and hence the battery usage is lower than many ROMs...

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dario!:
hi, I've been trying a lot of 2.2 and 2.3 rom for about two years. I'm wondering which rom and kernel are the most stable for daily use. All the rom I used so far had become slow and app force close after some weeks of use. Are cm9 or cm10 rom suitable for daily use? :confused:
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8cpaiw:
listen nobody can tell you what's best for you....but i am using Ginger DX for stock kernel and it's fast and lightweight...so I recommend that one...and for kernel I don't know

There is no stable or stable ROM. Go to dev sections and pick your combo.

Is this pretty much the Slim ROM with additional features? Looks very familiar..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ktempleton:
I'm downloading to check it out but I'm curious when you thank dastin for the base does that mean you used his ROM to make this. or his source also you might want to include instructions and info about not using jb modems to save you some time in the future

I know you have been working on this for a while congrats it looks really cool can't wait to play with it

Can you link your source on github my man

Flashing now then lol. Titanium Backup will be my friend tomorrow. I'll report back after I run this pony around the track.

Edit: So far so good. Superuser was being a little wonky at first. Wasn't able to get permission for a couple apps and tried to run some scripts in an adb shell and root permission was getting denied. I went into the built in settings and toggled superuser off and then back on and haven't had issues since.

I dig the visual style. Comes with an apollo app that I haven't seen yet and it is NICE. Boot animation is sick too.

Once I opened it it asked if OK to replace existing one? That ok
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mholloway:
Just push it, when you do it should say already exsists do you wanna replace, yes. Then set permissions to match all the rest and reboot.

Turn on stay awake in developer options before you transfer and then it won't go to sleep... or turn your screen timeout all the way up. Relatively easy to work around.

That's the permission of the default MMS in the rom

So I'll report back today for 2nd charge cycle with no flashing
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lunchboxVA:
Make sure you report back with actual usage because these phones are meant to handle phone calls meaning phone calls are not a good indicator of battery life...for instance with heavy usage like search the internet, playing games, listening to music I can drain my battery in 4 hours...sometimes I go through 3 batteries a day...but when I don't use my phone or make only calls I can easily get 10 or 12 hours easy...What I would like to know and what I'm sure would help others is seeing how long it takes you to drain your battery under heavy usage...Who knows maybe my batteries are bad but there is no way to determine that if someone only provides battery reports after making a few phone calls for me to compare too
