Anyone with ZL please check the ir-remote learning feature. apparently quite a number of ZL users are having problem with it, the phone claim that it has learn the signal, but in the end the signal can't be re transmit.

http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/126050?tstart=0

I tried mine, same problem.

The sony support staff in the thread says that it is hardware problem. However I still believe it is software related, as the preset ir signal is working perfectly.

I try my sister one, can learn for my Samsung TV set with different function but... cannot learn for Astro box set.

Using the learning feature or just the preset signal that comes with the phone?

If it is preset, mine also no problem. The problem is the learning feature, where it can learn, but cannot re-transmit.
After learning complete, have you tried to use it?

mine also can learn, but cannot re transmit after complete learning.
*
Can use, but only success for my TV not the Astro Box, and then I never try already, it is useless for me, holding horizontal is not convenient as a remote control.

@Andrewtst can share how your flip casing is attached to the back of the phone, price, and where to buy it? I wanted to buy Xdoria bumper but after experiencing several scratchs on the rubber corners myself when trying to remove present silicone cover to put into charging dock, I decided to not torture my XZ anymore. Pls advise. Tq

I think Sony had fixed the Superior Auto mode, it snap much better now, except dark place still better pick SCN, as the superior auto is auto to Night Scene not the Night Portrait Scene.

Sample photos taken using Superior Auto on 10.3.A.0.407 - 4.2.2 firmware.

I see.. For the Charging Dock, how long does it take to charge the phone to 100%?
Faster than standard charger heads?

Similar timing, never really count on it. Around 2 hours I think.

I just notice something about the leak 4.2.2 - 10.3.A.0.407 ROM.

This ROM will be pretty smooth once you turn off the useless Daydream and also don't on the Developer options if not required. (Reboot once turn off)

For Bravia Engine 2 (BE2), it is 100% half working if under unlocked bootloader. The BE2 only work for movie but not the image.

My small review of 10.3.A.0.407 - 4.2.2 ROM
  • Camera Superior Auto improve a lot, now it is workable and quality is awesome - https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=61048533
  • The whole experience is not smooth at beginning, but after I turn off the useless "Daydream" function and never on the Developer options, now it run extremely smooth. If you find your phone is sluggish, try turning of the Daydream and Developer options and restart the phone.
  • Great as semi transparent only work for Launcher itself, now no more status bar issue (example became grey bar in Chrome) like those semi transparent mod.
  • Loudspeaker quality seems even better than previous .307 firmware.

Thanks andrew for the quick preview of leak 4.2.2 ROM. Hope the official version release asap

Welcome. smile.gif

You downloaded the .307 TFT and flashed it via Flashtool?
Usually we can remove the battery cover & check the mobo for the stickers..
But nowadays, phone all comes with unremovable battery.. hard to check  the warranty for the phone..
*
My previous ROM is already .307, so I just direct update to .407 and let it start fresh by wipe data and dalvik cache.

Meaning that, you made a factory reset, wipe cache & dalvik cache 1st, then only update to .407 via flashtool?
If I direct update to .407(from .253 custom ROM LB) via flashtool without wiping cache & dalvik cache, will it jam my phone?
*
Factory reset (Wipe Data) is a must, or else the NFC will FC forever and ever.

QUOTE(aqblood @ Jun 14 2013, 05:42 PM)
Aww crap, .407 firmware is for Unlocked Bootloaders only?

For now, yep.
