How much did you buy it for?

I really get tired wrist by using the Xperia Z, it's big and heavy, not ergonomic ....

Main reason why I'd opt for ZL instead of Z. I choose ergonomic over bling any time of the day. It's not because of the weight, more of the boxy shape of it with no contour for your hand to grasp on it. ZL is heavier than the Z but I don't feel the weight at all and feel so comfortable on hand because of the contour and textured back.

On a side note I don't like the stock Xperia launcher as it can get laggy at times, changed to stock 4.2 JellyBean launcher and it's smooth as butter

How to change to stock jb launcher?

Just Google for stock JellyBean launcher, it's not that hard to find

Maxis staffs knowledge on LTE is laughable. I went to get the LTE activated in TTDI and its an frustrating hour spent.

On the phone:
CS1 - LTE only works on phone purchased from Maxis (false)
CS2 - LTE activates automatically when you're in LTE coverage using a phone with LTE band 7 (partially false)

Over at TTDI:
TTDI Staff 1 - Your phone doesn't support Maxis LTE.
Me - It does, and I think it has something to do with my SIM
TTDI Staff 1 - So you wanna change your SIM card, go look for staff no.2? (giving me a SIM damaged replacement form with RM25 charges)
TTDI Staff 2 - fill up the form please
Me - My SIM card is not damaged, I just want LTE activated on my phone.
TTDI Staff 2 - Ohh, no SIM card change is needed. Just go to 1st floor and look for the technical staff, they will help you to configure your phone to use LTE.
Me - ok
TTDI Staff 3 - You need a new SIM card for LTE, and we need to configure from our end too.
Me - I do?
TTDI Staff 2 - Ya kah? !@#$%+_)(*&^%$
TTDI Staff 3 - Issue a new Micro SIM, LTE works right away.

From what i gather, your old SIM card, manually cut out Micro SIM, will not be able to register onto Maxis LTE. You'll need the NEW wholly white color Micro SIM for LTE to work. And if you already has that but still can't hop onto LTE, you'll need to inform customer service for technical department to configure from their end.

After getting it done, i did approximately 10 speed tests with speed hovering around 20Mbps to 30Mbps for both upload and download, with excellent ping of <50ms. Quite impressive i must say. But a total of 280MB of my data was sucked by speedtest.net just to perform these speed test which was done in less than 5 minutes.

Battery wise its draining faster than 3G/HSPA, but definitely not 20% drop in 5 minutes.
i had problems with chrome doing HTML5 too. Chrome keeps crashing when i load iCloud. It was find on Nexus 4.
ARM v7 is the instruction set used by the processor, not processor version.

For people still trying to get LTE, last week i went to Maxis TTDI and they insist that LTE is not ready for any devices other than their own HTC One XL  and Nokia Lumia 920, so i argued abit and said other people already using it but they show me bullshit face.

123 customer service say its imposible to get LTE because:-
1.) Im not using their "4G Phones"
2.) Im on iValue plan, which does not support 4G

This week i went there again and instead of asking them to activate my LTE, i asked for a sim replacement.

After waiting for 1 hour, i finally got my turn. while waiting for the guy to get my new sim i asked one more time, and this guy also said LTE wont support other phone.

As soon as i got my new microsim, I poped it in and LTE Shows up. Then i went to show it on the guy's face.

However while trying to upload a picture on facebook it says "LTE is not supported on your device" other than that everything is smooth and fast. Speedtest @ 34mbps
