Hi guys, I have just made the latest upgrade my ZL, but it simply doomed my phone.

When I switch between apps, my phone just have a black screen, and I can't change or do anything. Im simply stuck. Surprisingly when I get a phone call, I could easily answer and talk.

Also, the upgrade is a battery drainer, it sucks my battery like a black hole.

I really like this phone and very disappointed with sony for this upgrade. Is there anybody having the same issue,?

Do you guys know any fixes or solutions. If nothing will workout, how can I downgrade?

I had the opposite experience. The upgrade did wonders for my phone. Almost no lag. App switching is very smooth and battery seems a little better. 5.0 was a lagfest. Seems like Google really dropped the ball with 5.0 (other 5.0 phones have had the same experience), but 5.1 is a different story. I'm very satisfied.

Do a factory reset

My ZL is flying with new .222 update. So far everything fine, more fast and smooth than 5.0.2. Just a small and weird issue is a gap between signal and battery icon, tried with gap fix from Z3 but no luck.

Hey guys,
Thank you all for replying. I don't know what happened but the issue seems to have been solved (although I still don't like this update, battery drainer).

I really don't know what happened. But I can know press the home bottom and the screen doesn't turn black. I still don't know what is the root cause. But it happened to me the first two days after the update.
Again thanks
