Looks like this :< I do not like this change too :/ Old style, witch "check" functionality is better, more practical.

In thread about CE1 5.1.1 - what about infamous gaps in notification bar? Better/worse/the same as in other versions?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Schumi 01:
Could one of you Kind folk, DL the Customized Uk version, and upload it here please, for some reason, when i try to make a tft it crashes half way through the process, don't know why really.

Thanks
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] FcukBloat:
did you try deleting the fwinfo.xml file and or not including the two .ta files?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Schumi 01:
Yes i did, but for some reason, it wont do it, Very strange indeed, thanks for your suggestions.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Aleed:
This isn't very usefull, because if you want to know few days later if the sms has been received, you have to long press message and check status... :/

I didn't see anything new on notification bar. Looks like same as in other versions.

two other changes I've seen:

- my phone does not vibrate on power off / power on.

- when the phone is charging, there's no more information about "charging" state (always in notification bar) and no delay to fully charged is mentionned.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] CAL7:
Would someone please educate me on the differences in customizations? The "4G" vs. "LTE" icon seems, at least to the uninformed like me, to be the only difference, yet there are several of each. My practice has been to take the first one I could find that has "LTE" and flash it; to my level of satisfaction, that has worked.

Are there differences in the radio? People here have tried different customizations hoping to find one that fixes the T-Mobile LTE problem. But, it doesn't seem to matter.

So, why are there a dozen or more customization releases? Seems like Sony goes to a lot of trouble, but for what?

23.4.A.0.546 - Unbranded - USA (1289-7524) - extremely slow charge...plugged in for an hour and it charged about 5%...batterybot estimates 10 and 1/2 hours for a full charge from 30%!!!!

I tried flashing Z3 compact with the new Flastool version 9.19.0 but it said "You must have the according fsc script to flash this device". and was unsuccessful. So I switched back to the 9.18.5 version and the flash was successful.

Any Info on this?

Anyone noticed problems with flashtool drivers installation on windows 10? I read there's a patch for win8.1, any solution for win10?

Thanks :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Pixelmatsch:
Win 10 doesn't accept unsigned drivers anymore, you need to enter the following in cmd.exe with admin rights: bcdedit /set testsigning on

Restart and install drivers.

After you're done, enter the following in cmd.exe with admin rights again: bcdedit /set testsigning off

And restart.

It depends on what your network operator needs to work properly (special apps, special wifi service and configuration).

If it's all standard, go for Australian unbranded...

Some Global LTE 4G ROM icon for the D5833 ??

I know this is the place to not doubt, but does anyone know say if I do the backup of DRM Key I can not unlock the bootloader and then restore the DRM ??
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] istux:
To the first question: I don't know yet. :(

To the second question: until they can't find an exploit to root without unlocking, you can't backup your DRM keys because it needs root before.

Anyway, when you'll be able to make the backup and you decide to unlock, you can't restore DRM keys without relocking, as the restoring itself relocks your device...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] pedro5148:
I just found out ... the icon of the Australian version is 4G !!

23.0.A.2.93 - Unbranded - Australia (1288-4214) this is the version!

About DRM, I'll wait then until the moment they discover one mode to get the Root without unlocking the BL ...

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] cila76:
Unbranded CE1 for Telekom Slovakia Z3C is ok? No problems? Or wait for Telekom edition?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Pixelmatsch:
If you use Flashtool to update, you have several wipe options. Just *un*check DATA, which is on by default and would wipe user data if you leave it checked.

I know that Google added support for HD Voice(VoLTE) into Android 5.1 + I know that some carrier branded Xperia Z3 Compact phones do have VoLTE support and I though Sony's latest 5.1.1 update will have that option, but it seems to be removed. I don't really understand why we don't get that options if hardware supports it and software does too?!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] vcdwelt:
Maybe your Carrier did not support it?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Charkatak:
My carrier does support VoLTE and they do have regular Z3 phone which has VoLTE. I have provided the link below. When I access the menu, VoLTE Provision Flag is missing, instead there is an empty box.

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/how-enable-hd-voice-calling-android-5-1-lollipop-1491979
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] vcdwelt:
Looked into mine and there is also no option for VoLTE. My carrier is supporting this.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Charkatak:
Mine shows rectangular empty box and this is the spot for VoLTE setting. I recently purchased LG G4 from T-Mobile and enjoying HD Voice calls, VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling :) When I am on VoLTE, the LG's dialer app shows HD Voice when making a call and the sound is really nice, so clean. I still keep my Z3C, but might sell it soon if Sony won't get me VoLTE.

Probably it's no longer enabled for all customizations.

After doing some more research found out that VoLTE is not the same thing as HD Voice and it's not supported by my operator. Here is a list of deployment in various countries / operators : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VoLTE

What FTF firmware does have TA Partition Box in it!!

Please answer I have been searching for days!!

Every FTF I download comes without TA box
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Theshawty:
The TA partition is device specific. If you've lost yours, you're out of luck. That is why it's recommended to root without unlocking the bootloader first and then back up the TA partition.

Hi.

No FTF doesn't include root, you do root separately
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] tungthorny:
Thanks man!

Anyway, I find that the speaker sound and taking photo on auto mode are not so good. Is there anyway that root and recovery or rom stock can help improve these shortcomings?

Really appreciate your answers as this will determine whether I should root my device.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] sharrhar:
I followed the instructions and Flashtool says it was successful, but my phone is stuck in a boot loop. It gets to the splash screen with the swirly graphics, and reboots from there. I was going from 5.1.1 to 4.4. I've tried:

- flashing the same image I flashed the first time

- flashing a more recent image

- using Sony PC Companion to factory reset (but the PC companion can't find updates, so it doesn't factory reset)

- pressing power + volume up (makes the phone turn off and stop booting, but nothing else)

Is there anything else I can do, or am I going to have to walk into a Sony store and ask for help? Is this something they're allowed to help with? I do have the 2-year protection plan/warranty still active.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] FcukBloat:
when you flash the ftf via flashtool, do you check "wipe userdata"?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] sharrhar:
Yes

Edit: Fixed. I suspect it has to do with the latest version of Flashtools not being very Xperia-friendly. I used 9.18.6 (after installing the device drivers needed) to flash the image.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Sadman Khan:
The latest flashtool only has support for 2015 devices as far as i know. I read so on xperiablog i think.

Need Help

Hi,

I am about to follow the procedure mentioned here but before I do that I have some clarifications so that I don't run into any trouble.

I have never tried anything like this before and I don't have a clear idea about rooting as this is my first android phone.

1> Just a week ago I upgraded to Lollipop 5.1.1 from KitKat. I really loved KitKat and the reason to upgrade is to move the apps to SD card so if I roll back to KitKat using the above method, will i still be able to move the apps to SD card or not.

2> The build number is 23.4.A.0.546. Model No: D5803 So can I follow the above procedure for this build number.

3> Does this procedure root my phone?

sorry about some silly questions but like I said I am new to this world of android.

Some assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Sudden Death after upgrade

Phone: Xperia Z3 Compact

It still blank until now, i tried to flash into 5.0.2 again using .ftf from here, the flash is successful but after that (under one hour) my phone dead/blank again by itself.

My question is:

What should i do to recover my phone back to normal again. Should i root my phone? I really stress out heree. :(

Is there another way to make it normal again, because i try to flash with tutorial from here, but still sudden death..

then try sony pc companion to repair your phone.
