1) It's not very bright, compared to my Xperia S.
2) It's actually really nothing to shout about.

Yeah, I really miss Timescape. ALOT.

By the way, is Flipboard ok on Yuga? Cos I have it in my tablet... Kinda buggy there... flip till a certain stage unflippable becomes blank. Have you faced such issues before?

anyone have problem with Dolphin browser? mine always crashes. it closes suddenly without warning.

This version got problem, it also happened on my tablet too.

Yes, I get that too on some feeds but this happens on my Xperia S as well. Think it hasn't loaded all of the pages, and that's why you will encounter the blank page.

I use Flipboard too, and find that it's better than Socialife.

Ok. Will download and try. Will probably do some screen shot and share at the apps thread.

When I first got the phone, there was a prompt to update when I connected to PC Companion. Before the update, it was already on 10.1.A.1.350. After the update, it was still 10.1.A.1.350.

what kind of system update it is....

some good news guys some one at XDA ported the color calibration tool from XZ and are reporting good change in the display now

white balance apk from xperia zl - Page 2 - xda-developers

download the rom and extract the whitebalance apk and get ur full HD

can't work. i just run and install the extract .apk file but loading the application, i got force closed.

I believe you need to:

1) install through recovery
2) Unzip the file and place

a) /system/app/white-balance.apk
b) /sys/lib/libdisplayservice.so
c) /sys/lib/hw/libdisplay.default.so

into your phone's directories respectively, subsequently then modify the permission (if I'm not wrong, should be 644 or rw-r--r--). Reboot your phone after that to take effect.

You need to root your phone beforehand.

For those who have done it previously and encountered FC when opening, the updated zip (WB_bymw1kaduxx972fixe.zip) contains the additional libdisplayservice.so file so re-download and load into your phone.

Don't bother to do any tweaks without root .

I am using cpuspy and it shows that 1512ghz keeps on running every few secs.that Explains the battery drainage problem I supposed.
Not using stamina mode as it probably makes it worst.
Tried battery Guru And it eats Up more battery as It needs the location services.

Do you guys experience it?I need help!


And battery goes down 3% just to type out this message.

 

[happy2day]

Oops, I think I just installed it before rooting it. Anyway to remove this white balance thingy?

My battery goes down 10% around 40mins or so.

Open a Web page in Google Chrome only, start to heat up like nobody business

Reduce my Web surfing on the phone a lot alr

N when I tot iPhone battery is the worst already, iPhone got a rival here...

Yet to try since I'm still charging my phone, will report back once I done it in a few minutes time.

Using iPad mini to type since the battery on XZ died on me.
That was what I told my friends that its battery is worst than iPhone.
4hrs with display on, stamina mode off, no 3rd party battery saver app,using 3G to see how long can it last. Roughly 11hrs including standby time.

How about yours?

I can say that it is unfair to compare to iphone considering the display resolution and screen size and also multi-tasking difference between iphone and android.

True too, my bad.
So what's the standby time your XZ managed to clock?

 

[Bob The Builder]
