[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Sadman Khan:
This happens on the nordic and baltic versions usually. Use any other region's ftf and it'll be fine. Try the MENA (Middle East) one

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Cirra92:
Do you happen to know if there is any possible way to make flashable modem from certain firmware through Flashtool, or any other method? :) The reason being is that I want to flash rom from a different region, but keep modem optimized for my region to keep the signal as best as it can be :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] pepitoff:
It's not my custom RU version. It's a 5.1.1 Customized RU - unbranded RU version, untouched stock firmware.

3G (H+) icon is over the network icon. Maybe there is some extra space between battery and network icons. Maybe..z ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] webwude:
Looks better than Nordic - definitely :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] pepitoff:
I know that :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] boilavera1980:
i hope those german unbranded are coming out soon or even the central europe one so i get the lte symbols! :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] istux:
Before flashing, just check BASEBAND within the "exclude" box ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] FcukBloat:
why don't you get the unbranded swiss CH? working perfectly here, and lte icon so good spacing :o
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Cirra92:
I have used recovery to flash prerooted zip so I didn't use Flashtool, what I meant was to have separate zip with BASEBAND only, and flash it anytime I want :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] istux:
Mmmhhh... I think it's possible, but I don't know if there's a tool for this.

All what I can suggest is:

1) creating your own rooted zip through PRFCreator and checking all the items on the right, except for modem

or

2) flashing via recovery, then opening Flashtool and flashing only the baseband by excluding all the other items

Your solution is better, so if you can find a tool, just report here ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Cirra92:
There has to be a way to extract modem files from firmware and make a flashable zip, that was possible with Galaxy S2 :)

Yea, I thought of flashing baseband through Flashtool by excluding everything else :)

I'll share a solution if I find one, cheers :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] boilavera1980:
did you flash the baseband/modem too or would that be a little risky to do??
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Trandaa:
No, don't worry. I'm living in Czech Republic and I used Customized CE1 (the firmware for my area), Scandinavian Customized NCB, French Customized FR, Balkan Customized BAL and now I'm on Swiss Customized CH... Every works fine... So no worry ;)

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] boilavera1980:
okay ch is on but they need to fix the statusbar icons, whats up with the weird spacing behind the signal icon? older LP versions were fine .. and whats with the white glow after the sleep wake? jesus why are they doing that? best vanilla experience and then something like that ... but i know they`re cooking a near vanilla experience rom with DRM etc .. looking really forward to that!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Trandaa:
Which white glow you mean? Like right after you turn on the display? Got this problem on 5.0.2 too. Just decrease your brightness. Then it will dissappear. At least it works for me like that.

And about that spacing, probably sony knows... I just know, that's the signal bar issue, not battery icon.

I got the update from PC comparison, why would they push me a Nordic update when I dont live there?

How can I get the dutch ota? Flash a dutch kk rom and install the ota trought my phone?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Trandaa:
Well I know which problem you have, and I have it too... Since 5.0.2 (on KK I don't remember). I got this only w/ brightness on maximum. Unless that, no problem when turning on screen from sleep.

They push you the Nordic one because:

a) your phone have Nordic Firmware from factory

b) someone who owned that phone or you flashed Nordic one before

You have few options:

a) down Dutch KK and wait for OTA

b) down Dutch 5.0.2 (if exist) and wait for OTA

c) wait and then down Dutch 5.1.1

d) don't bother w/ customizations and keep using Nordic

Cheers

Trandaa
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Cirra92:
I remember someone saying that it's related to adaptive brightness, and that turning it off eliminates that bug. I rarely had that in 5.0.2, haven't seen in 5.1.1 though.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] boilavera1980:
it is never had that in 5.0.2 .. weird isnt it? ^^
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] mab71:
Its ambient brightness.. Disable it and that issue's gone
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] yooouuri:
I am now on 5.0.2 and my Customization Version is 1288-5414_R6C (Dutch version)

Returned to kk and then installed the update with Sony PC Comparison.

What is the deal about the _R6C part? Is this an unofficial update?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Mctrixy:
What is the actual difference between software from various countries? What will happen if I use the Baltic 5.1.1 software when I live in Australia? Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] rwhryz:
I think its the radio optimization for your specific region.

I myself is waiting for a firmware optimized for my country (Philippines) as my carrier signal is really weak inside the house, would be pain if I use a firmware not optimized for my area.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Trandaa:
I don't have any ambient brightness settings ????

It's something like a version of the branding. This was explained here many times, just search a bit.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] webwude:
Check settings -> display. There should an entry called something like adaptive brightness.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Trandaa:
Oh yes... I have adaptive brightness, but not the ambient.

Anyway, I never use that feature. I rather have full control of my brightness, so it shouldn't be that issue.

Btw, I think we are a bit OT, right? :angel:
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] webwude:
CH is definitely better than nordic - but the spacing can still be improved - it might be this new version which was certified recently.

Meanwhile I guess, I can live with CH ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] spinz78:

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] smartuser8:
I have problem with ambient brightness with this 5.1.

I have a full solid grey wallpaper (with app "colors") and I noticed that when my phone is locked, screen off, when I wake my Z3C, the brightness is NOT ambient (like full or something like that) and it make 2-3 seconds for I see the brightness fade. It's very ugly and more ugly with my grey wallpaper because I see it more.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] samiam21:
I am on the vodafone version right now. Even though I've had a Telekom phone. Works fine but the bloatware is terrible. So better keep away from that one!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Rumbi:
I'm on the Nordic Version, it shows 4G instead of LTE and the baseband is not as good as the baseband of 5.0.2. I would recommend the swiss version.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Cirra92:
I have tried to flash baseband only with Flashtool, and while flashing was successful, my customization version still wasn't changed, and modem config still says the same.

But when you navigate to /system/etc/customization/modem/ you can see that there are all sorts of different modem configs, which made me think that all configs are copied to the device prior to installing the firmware, the question now is how to activate the desired one :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] barni42:
I took this one too - and yes there is a lot of bloatware from Vodafone, but most of it can be uninstalled 'normal way' , for some apps you need to be rooted and I used TitaniumBackup to get rid of them. Everything is done in a couple of minutes.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Homu:
How long does it usually take until the majority of firmwares are out? Not very keen on installing an out-of-country or branded one.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] DustbinK:
Depends where you are, what carrier you have, etc. Give it some time. Likely if the file hasn't shown up it's likely that no one has it, period. As noted earlier in the thread that for T-Mobile, as an example of a carrier-based delay, there were LTE issues that needed to be addressed.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] DrEzkimo:
hmm one oddity from the baltic generic, I have no NFC icon in the notification bar when its turned on. is this me and do other versions have it showing as expected?

Update works really really well so far. We will see if there's an improvement in the battery life (I had no complains about it since I got the phone).
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] KoscheiTheDeathless:
This is technically correct, but it's no different from freezing in practice. Reason being, if you delete a system app, you'll have done nothing but freed up space on the system partition. The data partition can't access that space unless you unlock the bootloader and flash CM or something like it, with its own system partition definition.
