The xperia zl was my first sony device and I loved it for its looks and design until it started acting crazy with the ear speaker and got it replaced at the service center. Surprisingly I never had any problems whatsoever from the SVC guys and they gave me a brand new device. My point is the sharp aquos crystal looks good but zl is even better. I wish there could have been ZL upgrades.

My zl too got replaced... At that time adp was there now they completely removed the adp instead hired some technicians to fix the device..

Whenever I lose the mobile signal I often don't get it back unless I toggle to and from airplane mode. On my z3c

Funny things happening to my z3c of late.... Screen shaking and rapidly blinking (solved by a reboot), power button unresponsive for a few seconds.
Maybe it's a signal to change my phone!

What's the best backup method to use for unrooted users? Something that is simple and comprehensive for backing up all app data. Currently I use helium and my backup pro - anything else?

There is no direct way of confirming that. But try contacting the sony customer care. If they give thumbs up you are good to go.
If u purchased indian model i think it will cover the warranty..
Good luck!!

Minor issues after lollipop update

Just a month ago I bought Z3 Compact, before I owned Z1C. I really loved small bazels and front dual speakers on z3c. I happen to listen music lot on airtel Wync app. Before lollipop the system sound setting applicable to Wync Music as well, so it was good(via earphones), but after lollipop update sound settings doent apply to Wync and the sound quality really sucks:mad:
Now coming to speakers, volume is not high as I was expecting and volume ratio is in adequate(i mean if i reduce volume by 2 points it should marginally reduce, however in my phone it just goes to just 30% volume output).
I read about solution to this problem for rooted phones, but i dont want to root this phone rite now(may try after warranty is over). Hoping that this would be fixed in next 5.1 update:rolleyes:
Camera indoor performance really disappoints, all photos took indoor during night looks like there is heavy smoke inside the room:crying:

I too have complaints in audio quality but i can live with it..i generally use my nc headset to listen music but waterproofing completely dissapoints in terms of audio quality of the phone.
Regarding photos, the indoor snaps are good, try the higher sensitivity mode while low light scene.
Lets hope they fix that equaliser in next update

U again going for a Sony.. We discussed last time about Sony having the same designs and nothing revolutionary and u again opting for Sony. Well I have my eyes on the one plus 2. Only if Sony does something magical to their devices only then I would stick bro.

    Moto replaces cracked screens for free, but for that be sure to buy directly from Moto, my uncle (Hyderabad) did not and he cracked his screen, now has to pay. HTC also replaces shattered screens in first 6 months but check if they offer that in India.
    Its about their policies..
    But when your 50K device gets damaged without your fault..you can understand how it feels...
    But when a 15K device gets damaged anyhow you are able to accept that...its same with me now...From next time onwards no rushing to the store in the first place...damn..u sony..

    Can anyone know how to adjust ISO manually.
    In manual mode i saw highest ISO as 800. But z3 supports 12800 ISO . Is it only in superior auto mode?
    Also anyone tried 4K vdeo max how many minutes u successfully shoot.
    I got 6 minutes after that i intentionally closed. it is 2.3GB

    High sensitivity mode gives auto 12800 iso u dnt have to set manually
