I have three devices with different versions of LP, 5.0.1 (Z3C), 5.0.2 (HTC One M8 GPE), and 5.1 (Nexus 5). All three have the search bar in recent apps. If is missing on yours, it is probably a carrier, manufacturer, or ROM customization.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Amplifiction:
I have tried this one. Seems to constantly send you notifications on the status of mobile data.

Tried it because of the close all button, but found a decent app for that: Recently. Requires root, though.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] istux:
That notification is always present in any version of the Russian customization.

It appears only when you reboot anyways ;) and you can wipe it out easily

Yes, I totally agree... If you have root, just use a mod or an app to get the close all button

I have a D5833 Indian phone on which I have downloaded unbranded Malaysian 5.0.2 firmware. My doubt is when 5.1 is released in India by OTA will my PC Companion get me the Indian version of 5.1 or the Malaysian version? Or will I have to manually download the firmware?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Trandaa:
If you have tge Malaysian version, you'll get Malaysian OTA updates. So if you want the Indian one, download the Indian manually and flash it again via FlashTool

Hi

Speaking about receiving updates

I have a Vodafone branded and SIM lock Z3C D5803

If i flashed an unbranded ftf version .690 after .726 was released also for flashed version, i didn't get the notification for update

I wonder if Update center is only checking branded version because of SIM lock ?

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] istux:
No, it's impossible.

You have to root at least once with downgrading to .93, then when you have root and recovery installed you can ALWAYS flash new firmwares pre-rooted with this tool: http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/tool-prfcreator-easily-create-pre-t2859904

There are no other methods at the moment, sorry.

I know that mod and you need .77 with TA partition ONLY and then the last lollipop without TA (or by excluding it if present).

Read better the guide ;)

oh, ok thanks for confirmation, guess I have to call my bro to do this thingy :D

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] istux:
Lately the google+ name is visible.

I suggest you create a new google account or a mega account in which you can upload all your ROMs and leave them there forever!

Or else, since the firmware is from India, you can upload on a server where indian people can download easily...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] wind0zer:

Which Lollipop fw for France ?

Hello guys.

Next Monday, I will receive my new Xperia Z3 Compact (goodbye Xperia SP and Android 4.3 ! :D ) with the last Orange update (KitKat) and I want Lollipop. I live in France. What do you recommend to me ?

- flash the latest firmware (23.1.A.0.726) (but there is no version for France) ?

- or flash the 23.1.A.0.690 firmware (there is a France version) ?

Thank's and sorry for my bad english. :o
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] wind0zer:
Hi thanks again : ) for your advice about the FTF w/TA (23.1.A.0.726 - Unbranded - Ukraine (1289-0537)) Used .726 directly, but of course relocking and unlocking again.

Many people here use D5803 firmware on D5833 phones, so it should work the other way round.

The main difference between the two is the LTE bands, so pay attention to that, if you use LTE (4G) on your phone.

No and you can make backup of your DRM keys with the device rooted.

Reset customization = factory reset

Final verification checks if any error occurred during flashing.

Malaysian 5.0.2 Vs Indian 5.0.2

I moved from the Malaysian version 5.0.2 to the Indian version 5.0.2 yesterday night. Everything seems to be the same but the annoying apps on the Indian version can't be deleted unlike the Malaysian version. As Sony comes with too much of bloatware and too many pre-built apps that we may never even touch them once in years, I feel the Malaysian version was much better because they can be at least deleted providing free space in the RAM. So I shall go back to the Malaysian version and advise others too if they don't want excess bloatware and are contemplating.

New lollipop update rolled out:

D5803_23.1.A.1.28_Customized_NCB.ftf

Change log:

Ensured the lock screen / notification bar doesn’t indicate “no service” when the device has coverage

Added a Sony feature; bringing back the “close-all-button” in the activity menu, so you can easily close all apps at once

Unblocked devices with server policies (such as Exchange Active Sync for e-mail), to enable the new Lollipop lock-screen notifications

Ensured the LED light is lit across all sound modes – and no longer offset by “silent”

Made the necessary fixes to enable the easy movement of content from internal memory to external microSD card (something we saw affecting a few devices)

Improved messaging functionality in Ultra stamina mode – some conversations could not be opened before in Ultra stamina mode
