This is my first Sony android phone, and I'd definitely buy a Sony again. I come from a long string of Samsung androids (Captivate, Galaxy Nexus, SGS3) and before that I generally stuck to Moto phones (razr, razr2). Sony has really impressed me with speed of updates and general quality (build...

I actually have this exact issue on stock, unrooted. It seems like every time I reboot the phone, the battery percentage will jump up by anywhere from 10-30% (though not always). I usually charge it up when this happens so that it doesn't just drop to 0 on me. I only wish there was a way to...

Well, I just had this same thing happen to me, as well. Had to repair using PC Companion, which, of course, loses all data. Wow, epic failure, Sony. And I otherwise absolutely love this phone.

My point exactly. ;)

Of course it isn't, but that isn't my point. My point is that my battery routinely lasted 3 days before the .235 update and it still does after the update. Screen-on time isn't the only measure of battery life on a smartphone (I indicated that voice calls are the majority of my usage, rather...

My battery life post-update is identical to what it was before the update. There must be something else in the update that's interacting with an app or apps you guys are using to cause your problem -- I doubt it is the update itself, but more a combination of things. Thanks to getting pretty...

I get nearly twice the amount of battery life out of my ZL than I did from my SGS3. I'm pretty sure the same thing (the occasional large overnight drain) would happen on my S3, but the drain was so much faster all of the time that I don't think it ever occurred to me to look for a problem. With...

I haven't had exactly that issue, but I've had mine about a month now and every so often I have one night where my phone will drain about 30% of the battery for absolutely no reason at all (the phone is on during this time). For me, a reboot returns the phone to it's normal rate of drain, which...

I kind of figured that would be the case. I hope Google decides to support the ZL as having a non-carrier branded phone (and thus choices like Google Wallet) was half of the allure of the ZL for me.

So, by all the posts here, Google Wallet does not work without some hackery? I find that interesting, considering it seems that the phone intentionally supported it. I'd love to know who dropped the ball here, Sony or Google. I would love to have Google Wallet working on my ZL, but I refuse to...

I've now been using my ZL for a month or so, and since that first day when I made this post, no spontaneous reboots at all. I have no idea how or why, they just stopped on their own.

This is interesting. I've now seen 2 dead Patriot memory cards in my husband's ZL ... switched to a Kingston card in that phone now & will see if the problem continues. I'm currently using a Samsung 32gb card in my own ZL and haven't had any problems (I've had the phone for a few weeks).

Did either of you notice anything with upload speeds (especially if you run speedtest)? What we're seeing seems to be intermittently poor or nonexistent upload speeds when tethering a tablet to the ZL via Wi-Fi portable hotspot.

He's not the only one. I can change my lockscreen wallpaper on the factory unlocked 6506 as well. For kicks, I just did using an image that was stored on my microsd card. ;) No problems.

True, sort of. As I understand it, AT&T is still capable of blocking tethering with unlocked phones -- not on the phone itself via a tethering manager, as they do on AT&T locked phones, but certainly the network traffic, if it isn't masked, can be blocked. I suppose I could try FoxFi to mask the...
