With the Galaxy Pocket, there's an "Add Word" button that comes after the selection of possible words that you can choose. For Xperia L, there are several words listed but no "Add word" button.
A loaf of bread, a container of milk, and a stick of butter.

Anyone else notice that the matte finish on the rear cover is coming off their black Xperia L?
I ordered a red cover and im using that so im not pushed, but its not as "grippey" as the matte finish on the black maybe as its not an OEM part.

Noticeable improvements for me with the new firmware...
-fixed music stuttering when viewing from portrait to landscape and vice versa.
-more colorful notification light

In my case I used to only have a white blinking notification light everytime I received a message. After the update, it changed to a hue of green/yellow/orange.

I still have only white notifications... could it be because of theme used? i've heard that changing themes it changes the notification light too...

Over at XDA they report a lot of bugs and poorer image quality.

Bugs that I felt was
1. Brightness is very low on flash shots low light and gives unusual ISO Speed up to 2400
2. Force close when you access Settings>storage>Transfer data to SD card
3. Subway surfer, requires to move to internal then return to phone memory once in order to play
4. There is a thin screen tearing on the upper side of screen when you watch movies or scroll on landscape.

Other bugs are fixed by doing a factory reset
The great advantage of this firmware on 15.0.A.2.17 is that images on non flash shots are way sharper and lesser noise. Especially low light shots are clearer. Battery and ram management is way better, performance has drastically improved.

I found others

- Sliding the notification bar with two fingers it blocks, never open again, reboot solves the problem
- widgets from programs in internal memory disappear from screen after reboot
- Camera flickering in low light conditions (sometimes, not always)

Just saw this scratch/crash test. Dunno if it has the anti-shatter film since it did not have scratches after. I also guess it's actually just the SCHOTT glass.
