Naked will be like a bos, just that hope no drop accidentally else the cost of fixing a sony phone is a bomb lol

xzu have notification light?

xzu have notification light?

try to install Sony PC Companion,

but why always shown ' Applications run in Memory ' , then failed to install.

any sifu ??

yes. it has LED notification like XZ, not the LED strip like XZL.

After using my note 2 for 8 months, I've concluded that its not that much better than the S2. I mean, yes its sounds fuller, but its still no match for my Walkman

If the Note 3 isn't that interesting, XZU might be under my target list as Im using spotify/ Play Music as my music source nowadays

I hope it is not hardware issue, two times I face also is during charging and press too often/fast the navigation button, then out of sudden it stop vibrating. Restart the phone never solve the case. Then I Google and found actually a lot people facing this issue at Z, and as that person at XDA mention, either let it cool down (I never try) or shake your phone it will alive back. hmmm.....

By the way, not sure why my Alarm button also missing at status bar now, it is same issue during i use Honami ROM at Z, out of sudden, haizz...... probably certain apps I install affecting it but I not sure which app, the alarm still work just the icon at status bar will get dismiss after some times.

Also, I notice new firmware loud speaker is much louder now.

Message from XDA Z thread.

Yes like I said it's much louder now.

After I stop whitelisting all the apps, the drain is much better overnight, just 5% compare to previous 29%

Yaya! I also notice it, I know you said b4, haha! but that time never really sure yet and I lazy flip back your post, it is far far over already.

Lucky it is much louder now.

That is good news

So is my drain normal for stamina mode now?

Indeed.


Give it some cycle charge, I notice it is always like that, at least it is for all phone I use before, battery life always did much better after around a week usage. Sometimes new firmware updates, also need some time cycle.
