Did you get the phone delivery from India times for Xperia ZL? How was the package and what are the contents of the package?

Also let me know your view on the Xperia ZL.

Need to move apps from Phone memory (a meagre 740 MB ) to Internal Storage 2 GB ), some apps have the option to move to internal storage under settings-apps but some do not like chrome, Google drive, etc.
Phone: Xperia E Dual

Xperia ZR on 4.3 Android.

I see a definite lag between pressing the shutter and the actual image being captured. This is leading to lots of funny but unwanted photos.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to fix this.

@randomuser111
I have not yet factory reset the phone due to lack of time in noting down all the changes to settings I have done.

Which mode are you using? Manual or Superior Auto?

 

[sling-shot]

Manual. I never use Auto.

 

[priyankgupta]

Manual. I never use Auto.

Well, make sure HDR mode is OFF.
And by the way, Sony boasts that clear images can be taken against strong light, using HDR mode. But to me, it simply makes no difference.
Did you notice any difference with HDR mode?

 

[sling-shot]

Personally I have no affinity for those HDR images captured by this. So I do not use that too.

In manual mode with HDR turned off, it just takes, say, half a second to focus and click an image. And this happened with 4.2 too, I guess.

 

[sling-shot]

I am not talking about the delay to focus. This is about the delay from clicking after focus to the actual image capture.

I use the half-press to press to focus and full press to click technique.

after 4.3 update even my ZL takes longer then before to capture

 

[randomuser111]

Yes that's a bug with the 4.3 firmware. Should be fixed in the next firmware

Just ordered a Sandisk ultra 32GB class 10 memory card from flipkart for ZL ...hope it works fine with full HD recording and playback...any comments guys

 

[sling-shot]

I have the same fellow right from day one of my ZR. I have not had any problem with it.

 

[sujoyp]

thanks @slingshot...thats convincing

BTW its write speed is only around 10 MBps but our full HD recording needs 17 MBps ...how will it handle?

I do not know. In my case using SanDisk utility, internal memory appears to be 12.4 MBPS.
However that utility has no option to benchmark their SD card

 

[sling-shot]

Sorry I attached the wrong picture above.

This is another benchmark using A1 SD Benchmark application.

 

[sujoyp]

internal SD card and external SD card ...now what are those

 

[sling-shot]

The application got confused between internal memory (which is another sd card?) and the user inserted external memory card. It has swapped them.

The 20 GB card is the SanDisk Class 10 card I bought. The 4.6 something GB one is the phone's internal memory.

I bought a 32 GB card and partitioned it right away into a 20 GB FAT partition and a second 12 GB EXT2 partition thinking that I would root the phone and use Link2SD someday after using the default setup for sometime. But now I think I will wait for 4.4 KitKat update before rooting this phone.
