So I'm just about to start charging my ZL for eight hours to condition the battery.. how should I best install 4.2.2? I've read that some users are having issues with 4.2.2 but others aren't who update under certain conditions.

Should I install the SIM, then update OTA?
Should I install via PC Companion in the normal way?
Should I somehow wipe the phone first then update in another way?

Your help is much appreciated! :good:

Thanks as always,

It depends on your current firmware,,if it's anything.other than .253 ,I recommend that you do a complete re-install,via Sony update service( search Google & download it) & not by pc companion or Ota.
This will reinstall the fw by doing a full wipe( takes some time depending on your internet speed), but this will reduce your chances of facing any bugs.;)


If you feel that I've helped you in any way,,please hit the thanks button ;)

Nope this didn't help at all, I did that two times the bugs are still there my advice stay away from this update, wait for the improved one better stick with the oldest one.

Agreed! Even on Gnex installing vanilla android 4.2.2 was a complete disaster! Not all down to Sony as they are building on something which is already flawed IMHO ;)
