I'm using it.. Launcher is nothing related with speaker and battery. Somemore is estimated battery life.. I wonder why everybody like to see longer ESTIMATED battery life.

Big file looks like many changes. Will try at office tmrrw.my streamyx not fast enough.

Why I got this message " the connection time out" each time I go to surf the net via mobile data...

Unfortunately Sony haven't quite nailed it yet on the post processing for our device. It's a sad truth but personally I feel my previous S3 took somewhat better pics.
U might wanna try camera zoom fx(paid) or camera ICS.

a question guys. if we update to new firmware, will it erase all settings / information / apps on current firmware? is it like going to fresh format it or will it keep existing settings?

Hi bro.... i had the same exact issue as you but not the water spot on camera though... but my device became unusable as water went in... sent for warranty and they fixed it without any charges. i sent via Curve.... but i suggest you go direct to berjaya there and get it fixed... much more faster.... and service is great.... and they changed my entire frame and i also told them i had screen issues as flickering and they changed a brand new screen for me.. just like that... so go ahead and send it over... as long as warranty is there... then you have nothing to worry about.

mine... water leaked in via headphone jack and sim card slot... two ports which i never ever used.... usb port... nothing happen... the sticker didnt change color... so weird...

xperia phone camera is more consider about users consume efficiency.. its really overcompressed the picture to lower size and reduce the picture quality from sharpness.. but it's more easy for user to share the photo to social link like fb,twitter...

its actually dpend on user.. those wish to wash photo into hardcopy might need some professional camera or other smartphone. Sony is more focusiing on connecting to social and entertainment, eay for our life.
will not erase the settings/app/data if u not choose to FFULL ERASE..

for me, previously display alwys flickering/vibrating when phone is full charged and its appear until battery low than 50% like that.. sometimes not appear.. but after i update it, i didnt notice this vibratting on this morning until now.. so i need few more days to check see whether it still exist or not..

Hopefullyits really fixed as SONY claims

well no... i have no reason to root and use custom ROM cause i am extremely happy with this phone. the 2Gb RAM is awesome and i can use the phone the entire day without issues. unlike my htc one x, s3, s2 and etc.

so i was completely on stock.

as for the screen, no more flickering. its great. no issues. yes its one year only.

still didnt notice screen flickering after update to latest firmware.. how about u? i might needto observe it for more days.. but these 2 days still didnt notice it even 100% brightness..

i see you extended with a lot of paid apps..

What is Widget called? Weather / Date  and so on .. Kindly share

still, you designed it to the point that people would actually wonder can XZ pull this mods off without lag.
kudos to you.
