Finally had sometimes do some screenshot in latest eXistenZ - Ultra Edition - Honami Port ROM.

This is the most complete port, include all the Honami color and working in every change of keyboard and contact color selection. Also now the app drawer semi transparent is act correctly as it suppose, look much nicer now. biggrin.gif

The only not working is Sound effects at Settings - Sound, also Honami camera will FC in superior auto when enable force GPU in development options.

Glad to see Sony is really making solid progress on the firmware ! Hope these filters down to other Sony models too!

What data package you subscribe to?

When I called Maxis customer service, the person told me the following in order to get LTE :

1) Only 5 or 6 phones are supported by Maxis for LTE and Sony XZ is not one of them.

2) Must get new micro sim. Old sim card cut to micro size cannot get LTE

I think these people don't really know what they are talking about....

Had always wanted to ask this question and yes, my ZL has this issue too...

For me it's when I turn off screen and it's not completely off. Can still see feint greyish glow. Have to turn screen on and off again. This is only visible in dark conditions though.

after a series of lagginess i experienced after update to 4.2.2 then i decided to reformat it again. and now it performs at its finest. no lagging except viewing albums and large content. happiness for me biggrin.gif

one thing i noticed among the features that the 4.2.2 dont have is to end a call by pressing power button. sadly its quite troublesome since i'm using flip case so i have to open the cover to end calls.. any 3rd party call manager can do so? unsure.gif

Doesn't the phone automatically ends the call when the other party hangs up ?

I must say that the ZL has improved quite a bit after 2 major updates in a short span of time. The display is so much better compared to when I first bought it. However this update seems pretty minor but I hope will give Sony a chance to fix the photo album !

Sony is really aggressive in giving us a better product smile.gif

I didn't see much difference with the latest .244 update for ZL except for the Album which doesn't lag anymore. Also able to adjust voice quality during phone calls.

Anyone else discovered any new cool stuff with the new firmware ?
