Next patch version for the Z is still 4.1.2 but has some optimizations, let me name a few:
- Soft keys + notification bar background changed, it is now black and looks a lot better.
- There is an option to adjust the white balance of the screen
- There is an options to enable/disable the notification light
- Stamina seems to work much better, better standby time plus LED notification works with stamina on. Also noticed that apps in stamina exception list work much better now.
- WiFi reception is MUCH better.
- Camera opens faster than before, still a bit slow for my taste but it is a step to the right direction.
- The device is faster in general. Have tested this with another not updated device and it is in the scale of ms but still it is faster and more responsive.

@king-james and doministry... bro i don't think illumination bar notification is for Z.. I think its for S/P may be ZL 
And yeah the led is working now.... Just wiped the dalvik cache and it was ok 
Thanks for the advise though |

Today I perfectly understood how Sony contrast control works across the device.
Now I can confirm the UI is less saturated just for batt saving.
I just made a screenshot. And the homescreen looks totally different in the gallery than in original.
Skocking difference.

I just got my xperia z last week from Sony and I love everything about it. I just have a question; is it normal to have a slight yellowish tint at the bottome of the screen? |

Use any original cable, cheap cables will charge too slow.. even other brand ( Sammy, Moto, HTC ) original cable are good...

@bronxdude: What is the output of the ray charger?. if its significantly lower than the Z's, that might be the cause of the problem.
I used the one from my old arc and it was quite slower, when i checked, the Arc's charger has an output of 850mA while the one from my T has an output of 1200mA.

That`s strange I also used Ray charger when the phone charges slowly.
You sad your phone is new... I recomend to wait for two weeks for the batery to get up to speed, and if the problem still occur to go for a replacement, but you should get at least one full discharge-charge cycle (till the device shut down itself and then charging it for at least 8hours). I did this two times with every new phone I get, and never had battery problems. |
