can the color of the led be changed in L?

Camera quality is less than average... 8 MP shooter is only in name...

Front camera is absolutely pathetic. I could not get it to shoot colour photos. Only grainy black and white photos..

And Sony had the nerve to call this a "Camera Phone"!

got hands on with my friend's XL and the snapshots were really not good as one would expect with a 8mp cam with all that Exmor RS nomenclature. Pics were noisy with not so good detail. viewing angles are average and blacks are somewhat greyish. all that, making it a mediocre phone for cam and screen but the design is irresistible. It looks fantastically cool though with very good audio.

The pic quality is good compared to most phones in 15-20k range! Plus its HDR function is brilliant! I mostly use HDR mode only for pics

Strange. All users on XDA report smooth gameplay on all HD games except for GTA Vice City and few others which are not optimized for L.

Other L owners here, your feedback please ?

Actually my problem is more with the lags in the UI than for games. I haven't done too much of gaming till now.
What happens is that while typing or just opening an app like opera mini often the phone hangs for about 5 seconds and during that time it takes no inputs. What I have done so far is that I press the power key to put it too sleep and then again to wake it, then it starts responding again.
Is there some way to fix this, because this is a major problem I am facing now. Will restoring the phone to factory settings help??

Recently I saw an game (RF 2013) which is about 800 MB? Is there any way I can install and play this, cause my remaining app memory is only about 700 MB.

Then another problem is that the time often goes to 5:30 hours ahead of IST when network operator time and time zone is activated, then after some time it changes back to the correct time.

Then there is the issue with the touch inputs not being sensitive. Is there some way to improve touch screen sensitivity?

Check out the L720 and Grand...

can the color of the led be changed in L?

It changes automatically according to the colour of the image displayed on the screen, but not during incoming calls...
This is a really cool feature though...

Got my hands on Xperia -L for 15k ( ebay). Pretty neat gadget for the budget , found the battery to be a disappointment (10 minutes video + sound maximum + wifi on (nothing downloading) + backlight on) the battery dropped to 90%. Is this the case with it?

One more most important point I noticed is that My XL FAILS to play 1920x1080 (1080p) neatly... The video laggs... and Audio just cant match up with the video....

Is this a problem with every XL user??

Any solutions for this..

P.S: I tried it to play on the Stock as well as the MX Player.

 

[pratyush997]

^ YOu kidding me? XL and no FHD playback
Have you selected HW+ decoder in settings on MX player?
Even my Pantech Burst can play FHD vids with ease

 

[Kiss]

When i click on H/W+ Decoder or H/W decoder (as the song starts with a S/W decoder) it says "Cannot play this video with H/W+ decoder"
Infact in stock player the video does not play at all...

I have a few questions for you Xperia L owners. I need to know these since I am planning on buying this phone.

1.) Is it true that only out of 8gb internal memory,we only get to use around 4 gb?

2.) When we install any app, is it stored/installed in the external memory or the internal memory?

3.) How many apps can we install on this phone without causing it to lag?

4.) Is there any fix to the battery life issue?

Guys...I wanna buy the Xperia SP..and I want to buy the 4G version i.e. C5303 or C5306.I dont know whether it is available in India.When will it be available in online/offline stores?

Is Sony releasing any update for improving camera performance? I heard it could be in update 12.0.284...is this right?
