I have a Sony Xperia ZL which I really love. Great phone and build quality is superb, just as you would expect from Sony. I do have a couple of issues and hope others can direct me to solutions.

1. Voice Dialer app. The installed app is horrible. Surely Sony could have worked a little harder to find an app that is not so "robot like" in its translations. And rarely does it recognize my contacts and dialing instructions. I use a Plantronics Legend bluetooth headset and it worked flawlessly on my Lumia 920, but on the Xperia ZL and the android voice dialer app, it struggles to work effectively.

My question, is there another voice dialer app that would work more seamlessly on the Xperia ZL?

2. Bluetooth connection. It seems that my bluetooth connection is unstable and unreliable on the Xperia ZL. For no apparent reason, it will disconnect my paired device on its own and then sometimes, reconnect. Often, though, it simply just disconnects.

I have tried the obvious, unparing and repairing the devices, deleting them and then reinstalling, etc. Not sure why this keeps happening. Thoughts?

Thanks in advance

I had the bluetooth instability. I have a car bluetooth and music was always fine but I'd disconnect often during voice calls. What I found was that disabling wifi makes the bluetooth stable.
