try volume down button + power button at the same time..

right.. previous is much easier.. same as gingerbread style.. ICS is same as 4.2.2.. no SS option in power menu.. need combination of that 2 keys to work out..


OTA cant get it from my XZL.. but PC companion and SUS can get.. im using SUS.. coz i can make my own FTF after that..

same.. just finished installed in my xzl.. try it out first before i go sleep.. excited.. hopefully got improvement..

SUS is Sony Update Service.

temporary based on 1st preview.

1. Transparent trio virtual button and status bar. Widgets on lockscreen.
2. New added. myXperia, PSP DUALSHOCK (Xperia), Daydream, Quicksetting option (Display), Increasing ringing (Sounds), Camera photo preview after capture, magnification gestures (accessibility)
3. Performance does really see significant smooth in app drawer and UI.
4. Superior auto did really improve. Faster focus in my case.. (Need to TEST out soon)
5. Battery life (will tested out few days)

Overall, a good move from SONY. just surpised that ZL get it 1st.. yesterday still wonder when can my XZL get 4.2.2 like XZ leaks rom.. LOL.. Happy

*Edit* - Founded smtg. Camera active from lockscreen or button cant focus well. only focus very well and correctly when unlock the phone with PIN.

80% transparent in homescreen.. 100% alike with app drawer. for my 20 minutes playing.. feel slightly smooth than previous firmware.. i like the toggles parts.. which i can set auto rotate, auto sync, Stamina directly..

no more official update news for XZ. temporary for XZL. but i think soon.

correct!!

photos captured in my room with normal sunlight from window..

it isnt something u want like that? see screenshot.. i can customise the toggles which i wish to use.

right. but no interesting in rooting for now... LOL.. tired to root, flash, and try mods.. just everything original ba..

^^ ya.. u can do comparison by tonight if ur sis willing to let u play.. haha

i need sleep 1st.. after wake up will try again and test the camera performance..

try press the yellow button at the back, sim card slot there.. to force restart d..

the widgets which can put in lockscreen not much.. it isnt correct? me only got calendar, gmail, google now few things..

As mentioned in this morning.. Superior auto mode does focus well at this latest firmware for XZL. U can still use touch focus for the actual location u want to focus. Quality of photos seems does improve. I can see clearly the ants in the white flower there.. All these 3 captured in 3 superior auto mode, without any edit..

Try add on 2 photos which i touch focus on the left objects.. which successful in superior auto mode.. quality and 100% of crop seems very details too.. Good job SONY~ but there are still hv improvement can be done..

i do post in previous post in this morning.. https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=61204259

now i do post 3 samples again after see ur post now.. simply take in my living room. no light turned on. just simply Superior Auto + Touch focus. Check below spoiler.

indoor photo doesnt very good.. but for fb sharing should be enough.. if zoom 100% of picture.. blurr and not details..

thank you.. hand shaking on indoor test.. LOL..

must make sure hand steady and no shaking to take nice photo in indoor.. myself got a bit shake and big fans over me.. haha.. so objects also moving.. soons u all update and can test again.. temporary, still very satisfy..

sad to hear ur case.. i think is hard bricked ady.. ytd midnight im charges my phone up to 30% like that, and proceed to SUS update, then my house blackout, laptop, handphone all out of battery.. i recharge my XZL with my EDVAN powerbank from 0%. then until this morning 7am get back electric then continue my update.. still works..

hope the SONY service centre can help..

indoor photos really hard to capture.. got fans (objects hard to stay steady), low light.. but i quite satisfy for it.. since camera phone.. not DSLR.. haha.. hopefully sony can less over compressed/process the photos.. files size around 2.5mb or less..

Wifi doesn't consume much battery even u on 24 hours. But seems awake by some apps in background such as account sync. Should got at least 3-4 hours sot in z,zl in single charge with 3G on.

for me is nearly like.. coz i full synced my fb acc, google, whatsapp and others.. disable those unnecessary apps that not useful to u.. for me, i disable twitter, google+, google maps. others all remained.


for my case, it does focus well.. but make sure the distance between the camera and objects dont too near.. make it 5cm+ distance for faster focus..
