I like my ZL more than my iPhone 4, but after seen a HTC one and how the speakers work and where they are, Sony should learn from it and make the next xperia's speakers better and on the front or down side like the iPhone. I am however like more how the HTC one have the speakers, man what a big difference. Do you guys agree?

Well im for one a fan of both Sony and HTC...been using it for years and have fun with it...what I like about HTC is when it come from software, I like the widget... Big, useful and nice design unlike Sony widget...it's small and not nice to look when on big screen...kinda boring...but I like the transparent in home screen...both I like about Sony and HTC is the status bar...if you think about it, both of them have the beautiful status bar...only both of them have a horizontal battery icon, not vertical like the others..same like iphone...and look kinda nice not like others which look kinda cartoonish...I have many others but too much to say...and about hardware wise...the design on both of them is premium to hold and beautiful to see..about the speaker position, I don't care where they put it unless its not covers with my hand when I hold it and hope it loud enough to heard....speakers in front is useful when listening to music and watch movies and that a great advantage in One..Sony who have been in entertainment business should know better to not only put listening pleasure only when putting a pair of headphone...on when I agree with you on this one but not want to Sony to use the same aspect as the One, it will unbalance the design aspect...but just hope for the best I think...?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Sirence:
In all this years I haven't used the phone speakers even once. I think they should stay as cheap as they are so we don't have to pay an abnormal price for the xperia like the HTC One. It costs 150 Euro more then the xperia z.

I know how we laughed at the HTC commercial because their only argument was the speaker position. Wth do you need the speaker on a phone for?
[Sony Xperia ZL] DoubleYouPee:
Agreed.. I used it only sometimes during a call..but that's about it..I don't care about the quality..I guess on the front makes more sense but I wouldn't pay more for it
[Sony Xperia ZL] sarobi:
HTC has best speakers at the moment, but this is still not it, the sound is still shallow/dull. If I want to listen music I will use my hi-fi system not a smart phone;)
[Sony Xperia ZL] riz157:
err I think it htc one has more much more then loud speakers going for it. Screen, UI, stability, design, smoothness, hardware. The only things I prefer my ZL over my HTC One is the notification light, ext memory and possibly camera and all other depts. HTC One kills it.

So SOny could learn a lot from HTC.
[Sony Xperia ZL] papped:
Bought one of the BT/wired sony sphere speakers if I want to play music louder on the go. For general phone use, I really don't care as long as it's good enough quality to use speakerphone without it sounding like complete crap (which it is).

I really doubt this is any kind of a major purchasing factor.
[Sony Xperia ZL] riz157:
millions disagree with you. Why pay for additional speakers and have to carry the buggers around when you can have built in front loud speakers!!

I owe ZL and the speaker sound is crap compared to HTC One and that is no exaggeration.:p
[Sony Xperia ZL] papped:
Conjecture.

You don't "have to", otherwise people wouldn't be buying millions and millions of phones by other manfacturers that don't have this speaker setup... That is not conjecture.
[Sony Xperia ZL] riz157:
I'm not comparing other phone just ZL..out of the 2 One is the one, we all know which One is outselling the other. Had I not HTC one to compare to ZL I probably sound like you but fortunately I'm not a fanboy of either just prefer better smartphones.;)
[Sony Xperia ZL] Apollo89:
A phone speaker is made to play notification sounds and for handsfree calling, nothing else. To play music, use decent speakers. I hate it when idiots mess up music by playing it through the tiny speaker of their mobile phones.
[Sony Xperia ZL] maclancer:
It is not just for music, with a screen like the ZL, you can watch movies and videos too. The quality of the speakers always matter and perhaps does not matter to you but other people who watch or listen to multimedia in their ZL is very important

Sent from my C6506
[Sony Xperia ZL] sarobi:
Only my opinion - ZL's back speaker is very decent, I can say above average, and satisfy completely for watching movies, youtube etc. If ZL will have front speakers it will be bigger, but I had bought ZL because it has perfect dimensions for 5'' phone and again my opinion, ZL is one of the best phones in the market at the moment:good:
[Sony Xperia ZL] maclancer:
Agree with you but Sony definitely could improve it and makes much better speakers

Sent from my C6506
[Sony Xperia ZL] sarobi:
I can agree with you completely regarding improvements, there's always place for improvements;)
[Sony Xperia ZL] Sayid_the_Lost:
I disagree, if a video has a sound that requires good sound i just use my earbuds, if more then one person would like to see it the smartphone is note the best gadget to display it (specially one with poor display angles like ZL). I do agree that the speaker should be louder (it's hard to hear waze directions if my car's radio is on), but that's all, all other function of the cel speaker only requires an ok speaker.
[Sony Xperia ZL] sarobi:
Sometimes I don't know if we are talking about same phones. My ZL's speaker is even too loud, volume never at maximum and no problem listening radio and navigation directions ...
[Sony Xperia ZL] lee480:
Ermmm. No. Stability and fluidity is comparable. And nope, Xperia Z have a nicer design, though it's a personal preference. Hardware? Please be more detailed?

And nope, HTC One simply don't kill anyone. Sony sold 9.6 million phones last quarter which thrashed HTC, Motorola and BB's figures.

This shows that Xperia Z is more appealing to consumers compared HTC One.
[Sony Xperia ZL] rp3:
I disagree. The launch of the Motorola X was this majorly hyped event by Google. Yet, looking at the X as a ZL owner, I see that Sony did it right. The ZL is the phone for those who want the biggest screen on the smallest body with no compromises on performance or memory expandability.

The One is a nice phone... but it's smaller screen and taller body (the cost of the speakers) isn't the only choice to be made.

On a usage basis, I do often listen to music on the ZL... in the car over bluetooth (google play music has replaced XM Radio) and on the train/plane/gym over (non-oem) headphones. The only time I listen to the speaker is when my phone is having problems with bluetooth connections to my car and I want to talk and drive.

In my list of things for sony to put on a late 2013/2014 ZL, I'd place upgraded processor first, bigger battery second, better viewing angle/lower battery hog screen 3rd, keeping microSD 4th, better camera/top placement on front camera 5th, slimmer design 6th, changed placement of microusb port 7th.
[Sony Xperia ZL] thinkingboy:
I think so, a good audio process chip is much important than a good speaker.
[Sony Xperia ZL] riz157:
Not sure where you are getting your figures from mate?

HTC One is certainly more popular with the experts. Design is a personal preference but most reviewers have preferred HTC One over most phones. Read reviews online there are plenty who call it beautiful design.
[Sony Xperia ZL] lee480:
Try reading the news more.
[Sony Xperia ZL] riz157:
In another words your making it up.
[Sony Xperia ZL] lee480:
Your intellectual processing is simply not good. I told you to read the news, and you claimed I made things up. Firstly, your response have zero link. This simply shows you have limited general knowledge. Try harder.

[Sony Xperia ZL] riz157:
Oww someone is upset. Lol.

You obviously are a fanboy and presume xperia range consists of Z only but there tons Of different models.

All the experts prefer HTC One over Z all day long. One of the reasons being quality of ssound.

I could provide links but cant be bothered as it doesn't make a difference to fanboys.
[Sony Xperia ZL] lee480:
Lol. Perhaps it's time to change your nappies. Your little brains needs spanking. Nobody cares about "experts" opinions. It's a fact that Xperia Z sold more than HTC One and unfortunately no amount of limited thinking from you can change it. Number one rule of marketing. Consumers are right, not kid157 or those little experts. Try harder. And perhaps, try to put in more effort in searching. I can easily find people who prefer the Z than this aluminum dung. It's can be easily shown that you put no effort in doing things. Firstly, you demand I give evidence that Sony sold more than HTC. I gave the evidences and you try to hide your failure by changing subject in an unorthodox way. Lol. Poor boy.
[Sony Xperia ZL] riz157:
Thanks for proving my point. Once a fanboy always a fanboy

[Sony Xperia ZL] lee480:
You seemed extremely insecure about Sony's success and HTC's misery. Don't worry. It's normal! It's called withdrawal syndrome. There's no point arguing with you. You're just going to blast your childishness. Not suitable for XDA.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Apollo89:
What's the point of this discussion anyway? Everyone has to decide for his own which phone he likes the most. There's no point in blindly following so-called 'expert opinions'. Tastes differ. A 'super phone' that is the best for everyone doesn't exist.
[Sony Xperia ZL] riz157:
There's a reason why they are called experts, apparently they know what they are talking about and get paid to do it unlike fanboys.

However it's not the only reason I bought HTC One, other factors being the device looks, feels premium and is fast.

I agree though everyone has to choose for themselves which device suits them but the "experts" can sometime help you decide.
[Sony Xperia ZL] martin132014:
Well you both right and both wrong...experts maybe go for One from their opinion but maybe it because so many people commented the Z for bad sound and screen...and to see the One doesn't have this kind of problem, they choose the One over the Z..but for many people, the Z maybe their choice of phone..you said the One feels premium and fast...well it the same as Z...premium and fast...don't compare spec wise..cause real life experience change that in an instant...I love the One and the Z...HTC and SONY is my favorite choice of super phone..but cause One is still expansive and for me, I like 5 inch screen more, I choose the Z/ZL...

Experts do help in deciding but users also help...

Lol you don't need to be rooted inorder to flash a stock ROM

1. Yes you can flash a JB firmware directly

Go to here and find your fitting firmware. You can check by going to setting>about phone

Do you know how to flash this stock rom with Odin?

*edit - you will be unrooted when you flash stock JB rom so you will have to root it again using any JB-rooting method

Ahh I think yes I will explain but ok correct me if I am wrong I will put my phone in download mode and go to Odin select the rom using PDA and start the process,right ?But I was told sometimes it gets stuck so can I interrupt the process and restart the phone and the process again ?

Thank you all for the help:

Oh so then u are trying to get the ota update thru Odin I was asking if u wanted to just flash a updated ROM that's different but if u needed I got this ROM list from Google it shows a list of ROMs for the i9100 international but there also is another forum that's a i9100g here's the link anyways for reference--->

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fastindy:
hi guys,

so after much hesitation, i upgraded my phone to the latest stock at&t 4.1.2...here is what my config was prior to the upgrade:

Android Version

4.0.3

Baseband Version

I7777UCLE5

Kernel version

3.1.0-rc8-Siyah-v4.3.3-nomswap

ktoonsez@ktoonsez-VirtualBox))

Build Number

IML74K.CLE5

I used to get decent battery life with the above setup...but after the upgrade, betterbatterystats is reporting 7%+ battery loss per hour...in order to narrow in on whats causing this massive drain, i have disabled all of the custom downloaded applications using titanium backup. Despite this, nothing has changed...

before i start to head over to the custom rom/kernel, i wanted to seek out to see if anyone else who upgraded to 4.1.2 is having same issue? and/or if there are any other suggestions on the battery drain?

Thanks for any constructive feedback...

FI
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
7% per hour is excessive, even on stock kernel.

Read through this thread in the General section to get an idea how to identify and solve battery drain issues. You may need to root the phone first, if you haven't.

Also, if rooted, you can use the application Greenify to help determine and also hibernate applications that drain battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fastindy:
yeah i also thought that 7% was very excessive....i am already rooted, and doing all that i can do identify what is draining the battery...i did see that you had mentioned Greenify in some other thread, shortly after i posted this...since then i have installed that application, and trying to figure out how to use it...

thanks again

Edit: sorry wanted to restate that i have disabled all of the custom downloaded applications...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] brd23:
Greenify is a great app!

If you just recently upgraded to 4.1.2 then you likely updated your Google play services. Google search it. It has been draining battery like crazy on lots of phones.

Try turning off location services or hibernating maps or Google now.
