Bro, do you know or can recommend the settings for the white balance?
I don't really mess with the white balance as I think that the colour looks very good already. No one notice that the colour of the keyboard changed slightly?

I flashed the white balance apk before this update, and was using the settings of Saturation 3.1 and Hue 202.5.

I have been using this settingsbefore the flash of new firmware.

carlover's settings (saturation 9 and hue 220) above plus brightness bar set to 75%, checked adapt to lighting conditions, and bravia engine deactivated should give u white value of 65k according to XDA forums.

Its good that Sony is listening to our complains about the camera because normal mode is much sharper now. The noise reduction filter seems to be very very very light now, images are sharper during the day. I shall take the same scene tonight to test the night mode.

Yes. They have been listening to feedback from end users since last time and that is why I stick to Sony phones. =:p

but 4.2.2 not in sight :s13:

You must remember that any new firmware they develop, they will have to test it first before launching and there are so many version of firmware to cater to different countries or regions. =:p
