    Failed to update my Sony Xperia ZL ota

    Don't do it. Updates up to 4.2.2 was all great. 4.3 is not. Ruined much of the UI, made the alarm clock less functional, my phone is now dropping calls, BlueTooth functions erratically, I get scratchy BT transmissions and a reduced BT range. Prior to updating to 4.3, this was the best phone I...

    You should. When your phone is set to act as mass storage, it's no different than a USB stick

    App to rate girls you met!

    Perhaps you should read this. Putting out such disgraceful code is part of what's wrong with publicly gathered, gleaned and aggregated data. There is always someone to create a new, misguided and unscrupulous way to abuse technology in a way which undermines the human spirit You have created a...

    Audio Sucks - Xperia Z1S

    Try going back to the store and compare it to another one, perhaps yours is simply defective. Anyway, good luck.

    Audio Sucks - Xperia Z1S

    I don't know what phone your comparing it to, but in my home, we have the following in regard to relevant devices: Motorola Atrix 4G, Motorola Razr, Samsung Galaxy Ace IIx, Sony Xperia ZL, Sony Xperia Z and an Asus Memo pad 10". I've also tested the Xperia Z1 just about two weeks ago when, my...

    Up yours Microsoft. We're THROUGH

    Amen. That activation crap is silly, really. But by trying to close-off their eco-system to make it more like Apple, they are going to lose even more users to Google. The sad thing is that if they do, then Google's market share won't be endangered if Google also follows suit. In the end, we will...

    Just got an Xperia Z1 - First impressions

    That would be on the stock anti-shatter film. Yes, it does scratch easy, but I'm happy with a naked screen, and though I can't really speak for other, I believe most would also be quite content without that film....

    Adobe Reader issue with Transformer TF701T

    Can't say, I use Adilko or Andropen office depending on the device I'm using when reading PDFs. I suggest you give either or both a whirl. Both are free on Playstore.

    Floating Apps

    No description at all of what you call "floating apps". No screens on the web page your link sent me to, and using bit.ly to set a link obscures the destination. Though many may not mind, I don't click on "blind links". But I'm of a curious nature, so I'll look it up from the Playstore app. For...
