[Sony Xperia ZL] unoo:
Ya I wasn't really looking for a specific yes or no. I was looking for things like: are you happy with it? Things you like about it and things you dislike. Did you find out anything after you bought it that you wish you knew before you bought it?

I really wish I could wait for the Note 3 but I need the phone basically this week. I am not a heavy user so I am pretty sure the smaller battery in this phone will be fine. My current Note 2 is amazing though. I understand that there will always be a better phone that is out or coming out soon. The Sony zl is free at Rogers right now so if I hate it that much I can sell it and get a nexus 4 or something. I don't really care about custom roms that much anymore. I used to care more because my first android phone was an LG G2x and they never updated it so I had to rely on custom roms for upgrades. As long as Sony will update it for another year or 2 ill be happy.
[Sony Xperia ZL] ChimPilot:
htc one vs sony zl

After many reviews online, I could not decide between One and ZL, so I bought both on eBay for my personal evaluation but will sell the other one later. HTC One is very good phone, high contrast screen, hi-powered speakers and responsive touch (very good if you want to watch YouTube). But, my choice is Sony ZL. There are much talks on the internet about washed screen on ZL. Do not believe it and I tell you why. For some reasons Sony designers chose to use the theme with dark grey background and white letters which is easier for eyes for long time but losing on sensation of hi-contrast. However, if you can choose a dark theme, it will change the game. Also, latest updates for ZL tend toward black background. Really, do you think that Sony, that makes TVs, laptops and professional monitors can not make phone screens? The speakers of One is better but that does not apply for the speaker when you make a phone call, which is sensational for ZL with xLoud and noise canceling enhancements. Overall the ZL looks and feels much more modern with very thin bezel while the One feels like an upgrade from old one. I thought BraviaEngine is there for commercial reasons but its really good when you watch movies and videos. :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] mithun46:
ZL is a awesome device. Its that developers don't do anything currently. There is a dev kamarush who said if he get the device he will do the kernels. But he didn't have money AFAIK. Some1 should come and help the community. Looks like we gotta donate a device to a very well know xda member: suggestion - tonyp, slim_rick, pulser_q2 etc etc
[Sony Xperia ZL] devilsshadow:
Never really understood the issues people are having with the screen. All the reviews made it out to look like it was the most horrible screen on a phone to date. That is simply not the case. Having came from a galaxy note 1 I can honestly say the screen is on par with it. The viewing angle issue is a joke and should be experienced first hand and not from some reviewer with his head stuck up his ass. Thank god I got this phone despite what the reviews said. I'd have missed out on a great device.

Sent from my C6503
[Sony Xperia ZL] LenAsh:
Agree that the screen (as stated in my post above) is not at all bad. Better than the XZ
[Sony Xperia ZL] iPeck:
I agree 100% ! I just love it.

The viewing angle is indeed deficient but I dont care. Its still bright and colorful. The FM radio and the loads of media formats it can play built in, are a great plus for me ;) Really enjoyable device. Cant wait for an aokp 4.3 custom rom
[Sony Xperia ZL] ihsan123:
i would not sure if there will be update for 2 years,you said u used note 2,so r u using the s-pen heavily,i hv a friend that like to sketch cartoon with his note 2,and i think that phone really suitable for him,if you one of them,you should wait for note 3,if not,i suggest you give zl a shot,nexus 4 also a good phone but i choose zl instead of nexus 4 when i buy it because i want to hv expandable storage n i also use fm radio quite frequently,i use zl since early 3 april until today and so far i'm happy with it.what i like mainly the phone shape,different from other and the only thing i dislike is the camera takes some times to load as i mention earlier,hope sony will fix it later on
[Sony Xperia ZL] unoo:
I never use the sPen. I don't care about the speakers either because I never use external speakers in a phone. I never heard anything bad about the screen but I make the assumption that sony makes TV's so that can make a decent cell phone screen haha. The more I think about it, I just want a properly functioning phone. If Sony updates it then that is great but as long as it is smooth and everything works then ill be happy. It is going to be my phone for the next 3 years so it needs to last!
[Sony Xperia ZL] goothu99:
if u want a phone...the in call volume is really low, it's running 2012 processors when we're about to go to 2014..

the screen is decent, just poor sunlight legibility- and who cares about viewing angles

camera lags a bit, but its decent, however the "low-light" sensors aren't THAT great as sony has advertised

for next 3 yrs...then you may want to think twice, there's very little development on here, it would be hard to see it get Keylime pie? imo
[Sony Xperia ZL] unoo:
Thank you for pointing these out but in all honesty, I am going to be very busy with school starting early next year so I won't have a lot of time to tinker with the phone. I'm pretty sure I will leave it stock as long as I don't have any problems with it. It is only August, we just past the half way mark this year haha. Also, the more research I do on the phone, the more I feel that we are getting to the point where specs are just numbers on a piece of paper. It has a quad core, 2gb of ram, and a 1080P screen. The laptop I use on a daily basis has a lower resolution and it does not have a quad core. I don't play games on my phones; I only use them to send sms messages and browse the internet when I am not home. Maybe light music use a few times a month.. if that. Thanks to all who replied. I have decided that I am going to pickup the phone this week. It is free on a 3 year term from Rogers right now.
[Sony Xperia ZL] devilsshadow:
That's the most down to earth statement I've read this week. Good man.
[Sony Xperia ZL] unoo:
Why thank you :D

I got the phone a few days ago and I love it. The battery is more then enough for me. The screen is beautiful. It feels much more responsive then my Galaxy Note 2.
[Sony Xperia ZL] myid.m:
is this zl can really install/move games and app to sdcard after rooting and costum roms?

sorry for noob question.

im going to buy this zl soon.
[Sony Xperia ZL] iPeck:
Yes
[Sony Xperia ZL] riz157:
Nooooo....lol. Should have gone LG Optimus G Pro.

ZL is a very good phone for 2012 but 2013 no sorry just lacks little bit behind its competitors. Mind you it does the job for your needs, just don't bother rooting and trying custom roms.
[Sony Xperia ZL] unoo:
I will never get another LG phone. The developer support was a joke for the g2x that I had. It never got one update. In Canada it was stuck on android 2.2 but in the USA it got 2.3. As long as Sony supports this phone for a little while longer I'll be happy. That being said the phone is very solid so if the don't support past 4.3 I don't think that I will care much. The phone is smooth and responsive. Once I'm done school if I have more time I'll get what ever nexus phone is available if I want the latest android updates.
[Sony Xperia ZL] sturmtruppler:
So, just tell me why the ZL lacks behind. Is there any app or any game that uses the full power of the snapdragon 800? I never saw anything that the ZL with it's S4 pro couldn't handle. Buy a phone with a newer SoC - you spend much more money with no real use.

And I wouldn't buy LG again too. I also had an O2X, it was hell! Without the devs here on xda I most probably would have bought a normal phone again which can just phone and send sms. The o2x wasn't able to do this without the help from devs. And no updates from lg, and the phone was their flagship!

Sony Xperia ZL C6503, rooted, 4.2.2 Stock
[Sony Xperia ZL] riz157:
LG did bring out some poor devices in the past and after a very bad experience I myself thought I wouldn't purchase lg again but I couldn't resist Optimus G Pro. LG sure has come leaps and bounds, I think they will become better once they market and invest in their products like Samsung is. Development support is non existent but that's not such a bad thing as I've become a flash junkie, flashing roms daily sometimes 2-3 x a day even at work. Lol. So I don't mind that too much , if I was given a choice between lg OGP and Sony zl I would go LG every time.
[Sony Xperia ZL] sturmtruppler:
Does LG still lock the bootloader? If I remember right every phone after O2X had a locked bootloader which often could not be unlocked.

....sorry for this slightly off-topic discussion....:p

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] InUrKitchin:
Hard to answer without knowing what ROM you're on. Go in to Settings, About Tablet. If you're thinking of a new tablet, I might suggest the new Nexus 7.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
If you like (or don't mind) the larger 9' form factor, the gorgeous HD+ at $149 is a truly great bargain.

With access to the Google store there is practically little if any benefit to rooting (i.e., running rooted stock ROM).

However, custom ROMs (e.g., CM10.x) provides features that stock ROM does not have, e.g., nifty GUI, USB Host Mode, etc.

Well, doue to the fact that this is a new phone, I guess you have a warranty. Go and replace the phone, or leave it to their service. If not, try to do some calibration battery cycles.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jtr165:
i have an Ion, not an S, but i've had battery status issues pretty much since i bought...through the first 6 months i didn't really notice it, because i wasn't using anything with a percentage status and rarely looked in settings...I started using a battery widget after a while, and things never lined up...it would stay at 100% for 10 hours...then the phone would shut off completely dead around 35%...flashing different firmwares, rooting, clearing batterystatsbin, etc...nothing seems to do anything about it...

ACCEPT...there is one way that re-calibrates it every time i try...and i have no idea why...

if you turn off the phone, and boot it back up with no sim card...then turn it off again right away...boot it back up with the sim...its back to normal, but only if it was booted once without the sim...and remains accurate for a while...in my case, what often screws it up is charging the phone without the wall adapter...if i plug the phone into my pc to move some files or whatever, or use my car charger (in which i forget and have it plugged in, and stop/start the car a few times getting gas, etc.)...its off and i have to fix it by what i just mentioned...battery life has always been fine, its just the percentage has never been something to trust very much...
