Finally rooted my phone guyz ..

to all my indian users .. Indian firmware is not good .. It dreains alot of battery ..

I flashed World firmware and i am getting a strong battery backup now ..


there were only two problems in the phone for me and one of them is solved ...

hopefully when i upgrade to JB .. Superior auto mode n HDR will take care of the Cam .. ;)

    Bought xperia Sl on 3-feb-2013
    Almost a month of usage.Following is the experience..
    cons
    Beautiful display.crisp images.
    good sunlight legality.
    fast GPS satellite catch. outdoor - 2/3 sec. indoor 5/6 sec
    Good photos in day light.
    Music clarity is good
    Call reception & clarity is good
    No problem in PC companion connectivity.
    I have upgraded software from .45 to .55 ( out of box ICS)

    cons
    camera focus problem during low light & night shots.(blurry images)
    Photo compression to reduce size, so photos are less detailed.
    phone gets hot during internet connection (mine is gprs) & long usage.
    Bloatware included by default like track Id etc - personal choice ?


    overall a good phone. i bought it @25000 in india, at reduced Price.
    originally it was 30000+

    Where else you will find such a good ppi display phone at such a price?
    Also android 4.1.2. is round the corner that will make phone on par with
    rest of the pack, as sony will be adding extra functionality in it instead of
    providing mere update.

    As far as focus problem is concerned , planning to install xperia GX camera mod
    to improve focus problem. Can't install another xperia V based mod as it required root
    Better to root after getting JB update so that photo compression issue can be settled
    as well as bravia engine 2 can be installed.
    Sony should have resolved the focus problem, but they have ignored it.
    Any way it is good phone and with little twicking with the help of XDA friends
    our phone will remain relevant for next 2/3 years.

                        Go for a phone with snapdragon s4 processor. SL is good, but there are other options at this price, go for Xperia T if possible

                          sl awesome, battery drains quickly but otherwise it is best, in normal use it gives you one day battery backup but when playing games or surfing net it only give 3 to 4 hour. for saving quick drain turn off the bravia engine and you ll see a significant change as it takes lot of power dont know why. buy xperia sl best in price, dont go for htc and samsung they look cheap in front of xperia ....love it
