Hello All; my 2 year old samsung phone went KO and I am contemplating to get the Sony Xperia ZL or Samsung Galaxy Note 3. I am a multimedia person, so camera and loudspeaker must be GOOD/LOUD.

I read in:
http://www.lowyat.net/2013/05/review-sony-xperia-zl/

and it states camera is very poor on the ZL.

I know this is an old post and I also know Sony will upgrade its Xperia line to 4.3 which I do not mind waiting. I also read there was a recent firmware upgrade.

BUT, can some of you share with me the camera/video capture on the ZL. I like to take pic w/o using flash - ie. low light performance must be good.

Thank you guys. BTW, not interested in rooting the phone smile.gif - no offence

4.3 update is already happening laugh.gif

chuanhong can assist you with his awesome photo shots.. nod.gif

his photo skills not bad, i guess the camera isnt BAD but it depends how the photographer snaps it.. (settings, positioning, lighting, etc)

the theme is just awesome..we can customize the soft button.

seems nice, but it seems like 4.3 is only upgrade in software.. lol.
(same thing but updated)
smoothness ofcuz no need say.. laugh.gif

the only thing is the sony select themeing. drool.gif

but not sure if it will be compatible if we use nova or apex launcher.

4.3 so many bug?please comment/review...
*
no bugs.. but im just skipping..

cuz to me the only difference i see is the sony select theme and camera.
im not much of a camera person..

then the rest are just UI changes in applications or added minor new feature.

plus 4.4.2 is really really fast and smoother brows.gif
the results is x10 can see the difference..

only bad side is u must unlock your BL to use.

only time i guess i will use 4.3 is when i need to send it for repair i guess.. nod.gif

Yup haha, do u hav the screen flickering issue when view Chrome in the multi tab view?

erm i have it on stock dolphin browser..

but only browser.. but that was on 4.2.2, i guess that flickering on browser thing still exist on 4.3 ehy..

right now im on 4.4.2. nod.gif

not bad, the camera quality may not be as good as stock, but at least it has the same effects available that the stock rom can offer laugh.gif

just harder to navigate in the settings only.. while stock can just access with a single tap. haha

Would android device manager work if the phone gps and data turned off or phone is turned off?
*
nope. all must be on nod.gif

you can leave GPS on anyway..

it will not drain battery when not in used..

since the s2 days the GPS chip is already like that.. now 90% of phones all use this smart GPS chip.
when they need = only it will be in used
when no need = its on standby nod.gif

can check battery stats, GPS will not be in used unless needed.. even when its enabled.

before update to 4.3(and wipe all data),i backup to pendrive connect via otg cable.
after update,cannot restore the backup file..anyone experienced this?looks like no solution for this.

user posted image
for previous update,i backup-restore using pcc,but it doesn't replace the installed apps at all.
*
did you try to give a fresh restart?
since you already backup all your things. hard reset it and see if u can still restore after that.

QUOTE(tch23 @ Dec 28 2013, 10:49 PM)
Anyone here facing gps problem after update to 4.3?  Updated my xz this morning and everything went well until just now, after restarted my xz the gps icon keep flickering every time i wake my xz up and unable to pull down my notification bar to turn off the gps
