Hi all the well respected sifus and guru. Now need real help to identify if my zl is real bricked or not.
Ok, I admitted it's been rooted and bootloader unlocked then I try to flash the cwm. After the command prompt it's said done my world then fall apart.
The phone totally no responsive at all. Led totally no light, all kind of key combination cannot wake it up. Already tried the "stop" button next to the sd card slot.

Worst scenario if it's certified then anyone try to claim the warranty before? I know the warranty is void once unlocked the bootloader

I am so lucky, never know it's so easy to brick this phone.
*
so the condition now even charging also no response??

Now charging on wall socket, it came back sign of life! It's led is flashing red light . Pheww...
So my advice is always make sure ur device is fully charged.
May be I tried to flash it for few hours that make it charge too low.
*
yeah.. make sure flash ur device in high battery.. coz sometimes even phone indicated u got 25%, but sometimes its may false info coz batterystats is wrong ady..

good luck and all the best la

Thanks. I better get the waterproof one, sometimes kena rain. Wait for Z1 to be out, then Z price will drop further
*
Believe me.. Kena rain is not a big problem for zl.. Just don't over long time.. Normally if rain u won't purposely take out your phone and use it.. But if u use z then u can show off like that..

Buy Z or Z1 if budget is allowable..

Sometimes need to put in bag cos dont fit some of the pants pocket. If heavy rain & wind,though with umbrella, inside the pants pocket also it can get a bit wet.

Same as what stratos said.. Normal rain should be no problem. Coz just wet.. Don't heavy rain until water direct enter the micro USB port or headphone port..if some water splash on the screen should be no problem.. Coz I had tried to capture photo while little raining and experienced pant wet while raining.. No problem.. Take out wipe off.. Of course, if u buy Z can got better protection.. But I would rather ask u go for Z1 now and won't regret in future.


QUOTE(StratOS @ Sep 7 2013, 12:27 AM)
heavy rain no prob for ZL.. dun worry.. its nt tat weak.. haha..

Z is can rendam in water.. ZL cannot,, but both phone can stand heavy shower eg. rain. nt bathing shower.. laugh.gif

Hello guys, could someone explain to me briefly bout these brothers of Z,Zr and Zl?

Based on my research Zl is the cheapest ones followed by Zr and Z. Z is kinda similar to Zr but better while Zl has nothing in common based on the back cover and environmental resistances.

If i'd like to purchase one phone out of these three, which one would u recommend? I don't really mind with the design and resistances since i'm just a casual user. Would Zl fits my needs? It just lacks with the sleek back mirror-like cover and resistances capability right? Thanks in advance.
*
hmm.. if only among these 3 phones, yes, temporary even RRP for ZL is the cheapest now.. rm1599. market u can easily found rm1400-1499, got some seller sell in rm1368,1378.. which i think is a very best deal for this phone compare with other..

ZL is almost identical to Z, same hardware. Diff display panel, brighter display.. No water/dust resistant but got IR blaster to be a remote control.

ZR is almost identical to Z too with same hardware, but 720p screen resolution (better battery life), smaller internal memory with 8gb (5.2gb user accesible) - where Z/ZL got 16gb (11gb+ user accesible). Water/dust resistant. VGA front camera only..

For casual, i assumed as daily use only.. ZL is the best deal if u dont mind about resistance.. 2gb ram with 1.8gb user access, im heavy on social messaging and surfing people only, sometimes gaming.. i had no problem on this phone.. after installed and turned on all apps like viber, wechat,whatsapp, line, messenger, fb, dictionary apps and etc, totally consume me 1gb ram which left 700~800MB free ram.. even hard gaming like asphalt 8, dead trigger, real racing also no problem..

no lag noticeable in ZL, (should be same as in ZR, Z). only stock launcher may lag sometimes. installed new beta xperia launcher can solved this.

just check some videos for Z1. The startup for camera apps really faster than ours, like 0.5-1sec only. Further the camera app is awesome cool with those features and effects, focus is extreme fast too. Hopefully the update will come to Z soon. =w=
*
not sure whether our Z/ZL can receive update like Z1. probably wont have i think.. but i hope at least can get the same launcher like ZU/Z1 and better performance..

speaker you mean internal speaker which you used to make calls or the speaker which you used for music? i noticed ZL has the same problem also right?
*
speaker for Z is lower than ZL.. ZL internal speaker just normal.. speaker confirm louder than Z.

u can adjust for the call setting..

i think ZL is the best for battery usage because it uses less display (720p) so use less battery than Z / LG which have 1080p. smile.gif
*
ZL is 1080p.

hmm.. smartphone usage normally can survive 3hours screen on time (with data,gps,auto sync on) mean good ady.. somemore this is 1080p.. this is typical 1 whole day usage with total 15 - 17 hours

cannot expect more for me i think..
