After a day with 4.2 .
I can say that , battery slightly improve due to lower voltage setting ,however it cause lagginess on Ui,lockscreen and between apps switching . Maybe lower processing speed and lower voltage setting .
And it seem more animation is apply on new 4.2 and cause some frame cut during animation .that's sad .
Camera does take larger mb IMG but quality seem same (maybe slightly better), but My colleagues I5 still take better IMG both day n night .
Just sharing , still fans of Sony . :-P

guys, i install helium both phones and desktop app, however it never connect.
Even the Sony driver I dl the SE companion, but it's older than the pc companion we have for XZ in pc.
Anyone can give some guide? I on usb debug and DTP (camera) as told by the app.

fail to root my device. zzzZ

dont know bro, I just update 4.2 few days ago, then use doomlord v15, fail fail fail, phone reboot, then still no root access. I watch a 32sec about the doomlord v15 suppose to look like in youtube, mine is diff, fail fail fail. lol
no idea also. maybe adb driver? i thought after install pc companion the adb driver will install in pc?

thanks man. Will try it when free.
Now busying doing project for work. haha.

I hear honomi camera using diff img processing software, is there noticeable better quality for those using Honomi rom? thanks

haha, thanks dude. I'm now dling android sdk 400mb++...
but when i go in the existrom honomi rom, those instructions... god.

diff from time I root my samsung phone 2 years ago...
locked/unlocked boatloader, TWLP recover, bla bla bla... god.
need burn midnight oil to do my "revision" liao. haha

don't know whether our XZ will have all these honomi launcher,camera and others update apps from honomi as well. >< aiks.
or it might take v long time to get for our XZ haha ~

finally, rooted XZ, with the superSU app in apps drawer mean i successful rooted right?
haha, damn ADB server keep outdate etc, need go end task killer in pc for droidexplorer and old adb.exe. finally rooted. phew, so newbie me. haha

just hope our XZ next update will fix all the lag, perharps with brand new honomi cam apps and others (launcher,album,music apps).

btw, just check with lumia 1020 with 41mp cam.
their 38mp sample have 12mb++ size, pureview 5mp got 3mb ++.
our 13mp pic only 2mb never reach 3mb. =w= i was like w**. zzz

I see this thread daily for like 3 meals per days . Recently really less post here . Satisfy ?not really after 4.2 update , it cause lag and not everyone want to factory reset .
Plus , being expecting honomi apps especially cam to roll out update to our XZ . :-P but seem need wait long long. Wuwu :'(

haha, cant wait for 4.3, but i rather Sony release late with stable version rather fast with buggy version (4.2). zzz
hopefully with honomi launcher, camera apps and others too.

ya, agree. as the honomi camera apps have lots new features, so i would like it official update for Z/ZL.
like the timeshift, 3D effect etc. it's fun.

yaya, but however i found out S4 still got better image color reproduction, not sure izit because the SAmoled screen.
but confirm is size and details S4 will win little bit... which is sad for Z/ZL as all also using Exmor RS sensor.
Just wait for better update for our phone lo.

btw, u guys found out our Z HDR mode or night mode, not same as other phone like Samsung or HTC, where their HDR/Night mode make dark part become brighter but ours is bright part become brigther and dark part become darker. wait me free i post some sample pics... super ill here.. haha

ya, too bad not official from Sony for our XZ/ZL yet.
And wonder why also customer rom is better than official rom. =w=

After update , charging drop from 800,900 mah to 300mah ... Seem charging become buggy . Zz

it's seem the new root need to flash old kernel?

last time root on 4.2 just run the script can already, now need do so many steps.. lolz

Top is before update where standby consume less power . Below img is after update . Consume more than 2times power before update . Anyone having this problem ?

now charging even worse... was 1000-1100 mah, 1 hour increase 30-40% battery.
now is 300-400mah, 1 hours increase 15-20% only... god...
i found out android OS ate all portion of phone battery... 40%above..
just survey on net, seem like usual bug on 4.2 . >< ishhh.

only me? anyone else?

I monitor it since first day bought it . And it took 6hours to charge full from 15% compare to beforr update which we all charge 2hours plus to get full .

I'll monitor today .If still same .will do calibration . Thx all
