Is ZL's fate going to be ended up like xperia ion? I see similar patterns in sony's way of working, Xperia S and Xperia ion, ion gets neglected. Now Z and ZL, ZL gets updates slower the Z. I thought both of them got .307 firmware certified together? Btw, xperia ion's screen contast is better the xperia S, similarity ZL's screen is better then Z!! Wth..
This is not the end of ZL yet...
mybe because Z is more popular than ZL..
thats why sony gives more to Z than ZL..

Hopefully, how i hope the .307 upgrade will give me the colours of Xperia ion. lol
Damn what a bunch of crying babies around!!!!!! Jesuschrist!!
Everyday I see a new post about Sony updates and ****.. Why didn't you buy a SG4 an HTC or something different? For real. The past years I have been rolling Samsung and it was the same story... Now since I've got my ZL I've received 2 updates in less than 2 months... What else you want.? Seriously guys stop this trolling and get yourself a nexus if you are looking for constant updates... No hard feelings for real..

While I agree with your message, I would have posted it in a slightly nicer tone. Sony has been great with updates, so far. They're fixing issues and improving upon current features. What else can you ask for? These updates are FREE, we paid for the phone as is and that is for any phone you buy.

we probably have here one type of firmware update addiction by some of the participants of forum Seriously, I think Xperia ZL is one hell of a phone out of a box and we are already getting updates. I am also not totally satisfied with everything, but who/what is perfect ? In such cases I always remember the movie Some Like It Hot and last sentence: "Nobody's Perfect" and then is everything easier for me
Sry for offtopic
chill bro, its just a casual remark that i merely hope for only, because a saw a major screen contrast improvement in the Z after the update and hope that ZL would get it too. No body is complaining, Btw, Singapore has Speech freedom . Ofcos i do like ZL, if not i would not sell my Z away for a ZL !! Perheps as someone said, Z is more Popular thats why its getting updates faster, i just do really hope ZL would not be neglected. You see, SONY phones are real slow here in Singapore, i cant even find a decent case/ pouch here! Worst of all, the sales person at SONY CENTER told me that they will not be bringing in any ZLs any more due to the low demand. So chill bro, i would appreciate a nicer tone. No heart feelings.

mmm I feel the same with the S2 when the S3 has 4.1.2 and the S2 no have a announced update (now has 4.2.2) wait only wait the ZL and Z are now the flag phones for Sony. and the phone (for the date of the topic) the .256 is from 28 for May? what do you want a Upgrade per every week? my Ex phone the Galaxy SIII has 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 Leak on the 4.1.2 Update now is updated every 3 weeks and is the same for the before update! any new function or a interesting thing same bug same problems etc... if you want update secured go to nexus or Cyanogen. this phone have 2 months in the market And the last update on 27 Of may do you think this phone is Abandoned or anything else?
Whatever AOSP Program for the Z is a placebo I don't Believe so much on that programs from the companies.
Sorry My English if is bad
And other thing Sony make the options for AOSP this phone has Cyanogen full working that thing in Samsung never happen after Months for Work for the Developers and the open source programs not is good

Less updates means less things need fixing! I have a Nexus 4 and the ZL and even though the Nexus 4 gets the latest and greatest Google software, I still like the ZL more. I would have probably liked the Z too, but there's still no T-Mobile US compatible model out yet, and the ZL is cheaper.
I get a lot of compliments on it, it's very unique.

The reason ZL recieved less updates is that it has less things to be fixed. The first update which was .434 was released on Z and ZL at same time as both devices suffered from sudden death issue. ZL also has the white balance setting from start which Z got in .253 update. Even ZL has slightly better display than Z. ZL's .253 update was just for colour correction and some camera improvement. And for .307 update, it only has speed dial setting and not even all variants of Z have got this update. So now that Z and ZL are equal in stability and fixes sony will release the later updates at same time for both of these devices
And most important!! You wont get any other 5inch device in such small frame
Havnt I told you! ZL got 4.2.2 update before Z

Just take a look at the ZL's XDA forum vs the Z's. It real quiet here. ****... More crazy, Singapore SONY shop STOPPED SELLING ZL !!!
ZL is a good phone! Just no glass backing and Water proof. Let me know your thoughts..
Can't you just return it? I got the ZL because I am on AT&T and wanting the LTE but agreed that ZL is not a very popular phone.

I really don't understand you, you regret because ZL is a good phone but not so popular as Z Just the opposite for me, I am glad that I have a phone which is not so mainstream ...
I must say these recent threads are really strange and left me head scratching. Couldn't you just make you mind?
What is most important - is it a good phone? Does it do job well for you?
Why do you care about bull**** like facebook pages and amount of people on some forum?
I think he like the phone but because of lack of support by developer he just feel ZL owner has been neglected.
I agree with you that ZL forum is very quiet, that thing nothing much we can do but hopefully all Z developers will come to ZL too.
Sometime i feel that too but in the positive way, ZL is a very good device with small size compare to other 5" phone, just enjoy the device, when it come to change just change, think positively, no need to burden urself with the regretting feel, it will eat you from inside.
Chill up
Butarx really speaks what I am thinking, ofcos I love the phone, but it's the support from Sony, without that, our developers is difficult to do any mods or any good Roman.
i like my XZL as is not more
@OP, i think there many mod thread on XZ where can implement to our XZL, just find it mate.
I like the ZL more than the Z, another thing about the Z I hear people after using the phone for while it the wear and tear will likely to get water into the phone so it no longer waterproof ending up damage, yes the more development on the Z forum than ZL forum at the moment as the Z as been release a few months earlier.
I like the feel off the back of the ZL phone rather than Z when holding it as well plus smaller in size with same screen size plus as I said the water resistant will not last long on the Z.
ZL doesn't need as much attention of developers as Z, ZL is simply better phone than Z
I think at the best way to treat this problem is to work on something that will unify both Z and ZL and things will work on both devices...
How? Have no idea.
But it's the same specs, made in the same time, so probably 90% of the HW is exactly the same. Why not include this 10% of drivers in the ROM and input a choice option on instalation between Z and ZL?

So I have had my hox for nearly 20 months, and I am barely able to make it through a day due to battery issues. I think its time for upgrade, but I love my hox so much that I dont feel like switching to a new one yet or heck maybe even a year. I may perhaps still be tempted by the m8 or maybe z2 or the forthcoming g3. But there's still few months for that. How about you guys, are you upgrading yet or will hold on to your hox for eternity
well i have a couple more months then its being boxed again ,not to keen for another HTC this time its a great phone but time to change ,looking at the oneplus one or the oppo find 7 for a bit of difference ,steering clear of the big 4.

For what it's worth: I had my Z1C for a few weeks until it literally died for no apparent reason. Treated it like a jewel, always in a case, never dropped etc and one day it turned itself off and couldn't get it to turn on again. No combination of buttons, resets, restores (that I couldn't do, as the phone was dead), recharges or else brought it back to life. Had to send it in for repair, and discovered that Sony uses a 3rd party (SBE in the UK) who, after 7 days, notified me that the required components where out of stock and had to be sourced from outside of the UK.
Not impressed with the support, at all, but yea the handset itself is fantastic.. really miss it.

From what I've seen so far, majority of Dev are from the Z1. As most of the Dev ported ROM/ Kernel towards Z1C and are identical. No doubt is a great phone comparing the Specs and Price to other flagship.

Great device, if it works and doesn't just die of hardware failure.
Mine literally died for no reason 1m after I bought it. Shut itself off and never turned on again. Any combination of buttons and charging did nothing to revive it. The Sony Companion Software's repair function on Mac doesn't work as it doesnt support Maverick's version of Java.
So I had to send it to repair, but Sony doesn't operate its own repair centre and relies on a 3rd party here in the UK. The repair centre (SBE Ltd) apparently didn't have the required components in stock. As a result it's now been 2 weeks that my z1c is in repair and no idea when I will get it back. Sony could have sent me a replacement unit instead of keeping me waiting, which would have been nice since my damn z1c was almost brand new, but no.. they'd rather not give a damn, and make sure that this is the last Sony product I ever buy.
Very very very disappointed. Apple would have given me a replacement unit immediately, no questions asked.

Get an unlocked Z1c from Clove (I've bought two phones from them, and had a good experience with a warranty issue with the last one) and root it ASAP. Battery is awesome on 4.4 with SlimKat (and probably others) in my experience. I am sure we'll have a solid kernel soon if you like to OC/UV and the like, but I honestly don't see the need.
My ONLY gripe was my issue with the flash bleed, which turned out to be an issue with how they designed the back cover. Bad Sony! I fixed it by replacing the plastic back with the glass one.
If you are after a dev popular model, look elsewhere, like z1 or z2.
I know I am posting in the wrong forum for such a comment, and might have rocks thrown at me by devs of xda...but the stock rom is, despite bugs that affect all products, sony or not, this one is pretty decent. You don't need root to accomplish certain performance gains that were needed in phones of the past. I cannot understand why anyone would want a different Rom, and in the very limited and ordinary way I use the phone, I cannot see any features I would like to add on that Sony failed to provide. A humble personal opinion.
Take this with a huge fistfull of salt.. that's coming from a guy who thought so till about 2 months ago, where limitations of KK (not sony) forced me to root my device to gain rightful access to the sd card again. I am grateful to those devs who made this possible
Looks like sony isn't releasing a new compact. What a shame.
