As we know the Xperia L has been updated to Android 4.2.2 on 29 oct and onwards. The firmware version is 15.3.A.0.26, if not yet updated check in the Update Center or connect the phone to PC and check with PC Companion or SUS , the update makes the phone smoothest possible , the UI is flawless and all the bugs users have been complaining about have been resolved, also the missing features have now been added. good work Sony.

Camera quality?

I check samples in another post and I don't see big improvements

Also he is experiencing problems with flash and exposure

I'd be interested to know if you're able to play Live Channels in YouTube? This hasn't worked since firwmware 15.0.A.2.17 and up. It just freezes after a few seconds of play back and I hear scrambled audio. YouTube videos and all other audio plays perfectly fine. It is just the Live Channel section that has problems.

its working fine, I think its an isolated problem recommend you to repair software through PC Companion

The camera quality was good from the beginning and it takes excellent shots now also, with some add-ons such as Burst Mode and scene auto selector now its perfect smartphone camera.

Camera::

Camera has been improved a lot..

There is some underexposure in low light conditions..(overexposed in previous firmware)

But if we set the iso manually to 800 the photos are nice and sharper..

Storage:

they had given option in settings>storage to clear the cache..

Lets hope the Memory problem wont be there..

UI:

nice UI improvement

transparent status bar and navigation pane looking good

App drawer is now big and better than the previous one..

Thank you Sony for the Nice update..

The camera didnt really improve... photos taken with 1.36 has better details sharpness and exposure

Dear amnher

YOU are the only one who says that. My sharpness and low light performance improved almost tenfold from 2.17 which was already great. There is no noise anymore. You just need to save some money and get an SLR.

And btw, STOP posting the same thing on every 4.2.2 forum. Because the camera did improve for everyone else.

Thank you and start saving.

No its not. I posted links on the other thread with sample shot for your information. I'm talking about flash shots and I am not complaining with daylight and non flash shots. Go to facebook group and XDA and many people complain on flash shots... Read first before posting...

And one more thing, I don't need an SLR... All I need is the camera quality this Xperia L has when it was on 1.36... If ony those terrible SD card compatibility and corruption was not there. I would love to stay on that firmware... So better read first as I am not compairing it to an SLR but compairing to 1.36 so shut up

Yeah and thats the reason Users like swaminathan are posting threads titled 'Camera has improved a Lot with 15.3.A.0.26 Update' (Link) where in fact you've commented again. Great going man! I agree with swaminathan. The low light performance is impeccable and for your information better than .36 firmware. Okay. I'm shutting up now but still, learn to be satisfied when you don't spend much on a device. Lastly, I won't join that Facebook group. I don't need to. My Xperia L is now what Sony promised me it would be, so, done. Goodbye friend.
