no it's unbranded. i'm using the original usb cable
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] xelon2008:
anybody else mentioned that the icons are bigger than in KK on homescreen and app drawer?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] arpinacio:
If your device is unbranded, why are you trying to flash an O2 ROM? :\
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] JeyJey16:
because i wanted a german ftf and there is still no unbranded ftf available and i cannot wait any longer to have lollipop

should i now flash a customized ftf? what happens if i cancel the flash 'cause it's still flashing since an hour and it's still at the same process as an hour ago
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] chibiribiri:
Well... waiting for unbranded german tft took long. Still no release :(
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Meloferz:
Icons are bigger

wo ist der denn stehen geblieben ? bei mir ist er immer noch bei system.sin

trans: where did it stopped ? my phone is still at flashing system.sin
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] JeyJey16:
`bei flashin data, also seeehr am anfang
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] d3s4nn:
hmmm then u've done something wrong... my o2 DE firmware is sucessfully flashed
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] tashum:
nice change

After almost a day with lollipop, the camera seems to be the same, but I don't take a lot of photos, so I'm not the best man to judge that, internal storage around 1 gb less than before, there is the option to move apps to sdcard, and it is faster than KitKat. But the overall feel of the thing is much better, everything is flowing and sliding from somewhere. The one thing I don't like is bigger icons, but nothing is perfect. Oh and also more free ram (about 200 MB on mine)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] benJX:
Customized fr is here ! Going to play around with PRF before enjoying the update :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] JeyJey16:
when the download via xperifirm is finished i have to create a ftf file of the download woth flashtool, is that right?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] akusokuzan:
Anyone know if we have ps4 controller connection capability?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] zlata:
u will break the device and branded sw on unbranded device is bad idea too
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] kokkss:
Is list getting longer in xperifirm?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] doogie333:
It has stopped getting longer about 3 hours ago...

Do anyone know what is the pattern of the updates appearance?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] kokkss:
Cheers.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] rinxtzu:
Icons are too big :(
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] :
mine too, have bootloop all the time.

try to install the new flashtoolversion and have another try. :(
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] poolmaker:
Diferencies between R1D, R2D and R3D firmwares?

Anybody knows?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
how can o2 release it first than an unbranded firmaware (germany).... weird.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] LukeHorizon:
strange indeed ... first time this ever happened, at least to me
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] REtender:
I'm really confused, I bought my Z1c in a o2 store in germany and they sent it to me via packet.

After that I flashed CM 11 and reverted later to stock --> I used the european central 1 ftf.

I'm not sure if my handy was branded or not / or what i can flash right now / in the future.

The Provider menu says that there is no SIM lock (0 everywhere).

Someone wrote that an unbranded phone can brick if you flash a branded firmware.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] stibuz95:
You have to update flashtool, i had the same ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] AlienTechGR:
Hello everyone,I updated my phone to Lollipop but the camera preview has low framerate...does this happen to anyone else??
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] d3s4nn:
It works with o2 Firmware.. I had the german unbranded Firmware..

See Screenshots
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Rempty:
Maybe bug

Someone can run antutu benchmark, i want to compare "RUNTIME", because is too low.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] LukeHorizon:
so you went from unbranded to branded?

I am currently having unbranded and I'm thinking about flashing the O2 branded ftf... does it work, how strong is the branding?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ponchofiesta:
I'm a bit upset about what Sony did with Lollipop. The smoothness is gone. Google built a super smooth ROM. And Sony removed features and functions and replaced them with its own.

For example:

- The status bar in AOSP Android 5.0 changes its color according to the app currently showing. Sonys Stock Android 5.0 has a tranparent notification bar and in apps it's always blue :(

- The cool power off animation was removed

- The Dialer and Contacts app looks not as good as Google's and there are less animations

And one thing compared to Sony's stock Android 4.4 ROM:

- The camera app preview is not as smooth as it was on Kitkat

Hopefully, it gets better with Android 5.1 (if we'll get it anyway)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] omnia0815:
yes, this is much lower than on KK 4.4, mine with Root.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] haki.gr:
Italian generic:

RUNTIME is the second row.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] benJX:
I would add the loss of quick settings widgets for the homescreen. I already miss it :(

At least they have given us ultra stamina !
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] omnia0815:
Thinking about not to switch, i'll also lose my root and a lot of xposed mods. Especially the tweak to turn of LED while charging and notifications at night.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
Calm down guys, ART need to compile the aps the first time it runs, so wait a little until it gets ready...

For the camera lag i dont know, but did u guys do a factory reset? i also strongly recomend factory reset after a major version update.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] rinxtzu:
Beast

Kitkat was around 3800, this is simply madness.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] d3s4nn:
Yes my phone was unbranded...

There are only a few o2 apps preinstalled which are ALL deletable... runs good so far.. But CM12 is better on my opinion

by the way: i havent flashed the TA Partition... I was scared to softbrick my device ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] :
yes done the same, now its working! Thank god! :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Tobi@s:
Just flashed full o2-DE 5.0.2 to my unlocked BL Generic DE (including TA). No problems so far.

Even got root via hotboot kernel :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] d3s4nn:
Congratulations! ;)

What is the hotboot kernel?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] balanced_emotions:
There is noted that the z3 series have pressure sensors integrated, I guess those sensors are related with the double tap function. You can modify the kernel to use double tap wirh the use of the proximity sensor, which is kinda fake double tap wake up. Thats why I said our amami does not support it. The 4K issue is related with the processor specification. The Snapdragon 801 directly supports 4K processing.

All those facts made me think we wont get official double tap and 4K.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] LukeHorizon:
But with not having my phone unlocked I don't really have to care about my TA partition when doing this right?

new to Sony flashing :angel:
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] AK2H:

you say this because you never had an LG :p

anyway, i would said end of march
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] st3ch:
point taken :) so now we have 2 different expectations, lets see who will be closer
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aakash43:
May be April but it is impossible for March.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] mobileartur:
Would it be possible to move apss to SD after upgrade to Lollipop?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] heavy-razzer:
No.

A have some Android 5 povered devices, no one has this feature.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] pathaniya:
Lollipop will bring back the Sd card editing functoinality.

As the above url
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] kwasiborek:
But you can edit sd card in KK with default file commander so you dont have to wait for LP ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] domics:
Right. but only if you have root. Don't forget, the most User don't have it.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] re_mo:
Using default File Commander you don't need root. System apps can edit entire sd card.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] kwasiborek:
I dont have root m8 .
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] jackierobinson:
So looks like April for us? Sheesh!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
or maybe end of march since a carrier told Z1 would be updated on april. :confused:
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] kwasiborek:
my phone is working great i can make calls ,send sms etc.

so lollipop : take your time and be good ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] jackierobinson:
why not just downgrade to gingerbread
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] kwasiborek:
Read again my post but this time at least try to understand it
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] codified:
I think his point was, if your only requirement is to "make calls and send sms" then you don't need the latest Android OS, or even a smartphone at all. But other more advanced users want all the latest and greatest features.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] kwasiborek:
Oh please enlight me what are those great features and what this mythical advanced user will do with them and what he isnt able to do now ? Remember that we are talking about 4.3 inch phone. Calls,sms,emails , photos,a little net browsing whats more ? :) i mean cmon guys :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] omegastarr:
Android 5.0 Lollipop for Xperia Z3 certified by Wi-Fi Alliance

And now we wait :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Aestetica:
Camera!

I badly want the new 'Camera API 2.0' on this phone. I would (well my photos would) benefit tremendously with more manual functions for the camera. Especially if they were implemented well. I really hope Sony does it right, and doesn't just put out software for the sake of it.

With the new camera api the functionality of this phone would become more like a good 'point-n-shoot'.

There may be more stuff I'd like, but i havent researched L much.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] felipeacydc:
and screen recorder by default
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] LukeHorizon:
Oh snap, turns out I want the Update even more :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] play3man:
This is great. It's kind of sad that we didn't get native 120fps recording, but at least they added 60fps :)

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] giober98:
please tell me there is a way to disable the boot sound... it's anoying
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] -Vermillion-:
I want to do factory reset after this major update. can I know what I must do before do this ?

what will be removed when I do this so I can back it up first ?

and my xposedmod app (APM+ and App settings) doesnt work again >_<
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] :
Its under settings,

Notifications and ringtones

Bootsound or start sound (not sure how it is in english)

Hope you find it.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] vildevilde:
I read that some are disappointed after the update, so far I feel that I got a smother, faster and better phone now. It looks better, I can read better without glasses, maybe it's only a theme or "look" change that made that happen . I also fell that it's better response and accuracy when writing with the keyboard.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] jackierobinson:
It is better. Perhaps those who are unhappy updated OTA? Mine is a fresh install and it's great. And I'm very perceptive to any slowdowns. The larger icons and ui changes may not be everyone's cup of tea but that's personal preference.

I do think Sony should do a Motorolla and not even bother making their own skin. It's so close to stock that going to the effort of making your own custom skin seems a waste of time. On top of that it's not even as good as stock and many beautiful animations and material design elements are missing from sony's implementation.

Still, I'm just happy I finally have lollipop!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Jonfensu:
I don't know but the camera viewfinder in SA and Manual is SLOW and LAGGY

Has somebody face that bug?. I am using Generic RU, pre rooted
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] fmatic:
Overall smooth and beauty. One annoying thing is a transparent status bar. In some apps it's always blue. In AOSP Android 5 status bar changes color according to the app, which is much better. Why Sony removes this...not good :(
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] omnia0815:
I cannot confirm what you said. This is mine on KK 4.4 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60089627&postcount=367

is there also any modification in the start sequence e.g. the O2 Logo?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] chibiribiri:
Only on "some" apps? Or in all apps? Could you make some screenshots in material apps (like Google Apps or Shuttle Music Player)?

I mean tinted/transparent status bar is the most optical feature i have awaited to arive Dx
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] jackierobinson:
There is a couple, like Whatsapp, that just have the blue status bar. Most have matching status bar colours though.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] fmatic:
Only on some apps like Facebook, Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger, Tapatalk, LinkedIn etc.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] chibiribiri:
Okay. Shame on Facebook & Co. I mean when did Lollipop arrive? It's out since 4-5 months and they still didn't update they apps to match material design guidelines. I think that's the main problem why we got blue (or some other color, depending on applied theme) status bar on these apps instead of matching color.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Meloferz:
Annoying 4G icon

The France customized have LTE icon or 4G? I downloaded Israel customized and it has 4G icon :/
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] d3s4nn:
In CM12 which is Lollipop too u dont have these optical Problems... Its Sony related I think..
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] d3s4nn:
The o2 Version have it :P
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] chibiribiri:
Might be. I think Sony tint the status bar depending on they theme, if the app doesn't follow material design. CM or some other ROMs (like AOSP, Google or HTC) does have also tinted status bars, but black and well with some transparency on it. That's why it's working there and not on Sony.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] raffounz:
Is there any way to reduce icon size / dpi without root?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] patoberli:
It looks like Sony didn't release any new versions while it was night time here in central Europe. I hope they soon continue, now that it's morning :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] kokkss:
Ok, here we go again. List is updating. Bulgaria has it now.

HMM, I am in Sweden and got my update yesterday but my wife has the same phone and she didn't get the update yet. I played around with my telephone when it was new, tried some roms and so, then I got back to stock and maybe if I don't remember wrong I got a file that was Russian then, can that be why?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] TheWarKeeper:
Greetings, anyone cand tell me if the chinese team exploit to bring back camera functionality on unlocked bootloader for lolipop still works? or does the camera actually now works properly with all the bionz features enabled by default even if ur bootloader is unlocked?

customized RU have lollipop, so maybe. Sweden customization havent it. Only operator customization...
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] vildevilde:
Does this affect me in a bad way, is there any reason that I should try to make my phone Swedish again?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] korenisko:
no, you dont need make phone sweedish... RU is fine. You need to change your phone to sweedish one only for warranty cases.

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Proxxor:
to bundle the firmware do i need to exclude the TA file?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] DomusX10:
Nice to know!!

Listen, but about SD Card? There is the same situation come with kit kat that some app "can't write on SD Card" or finally that limitation is removed?

Because with KK I need to install "SDCard Fix" for write,delete, move files from SD Card...
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] templeka:
So I installed the pre-rooted + dualrecovery RU version posted on the forums here. Most is ok. There are some stuff that I don't like, such as going to silent or vibrate mode takes alot of taps now (guess it was hard to put a quicksetting in there). Also the clear all "thing" (yes I call it a thing cause that is not a button this is something else) for recent apps has to be one of the ugliest "things" I ever saw. Guess it was hard here also to copy paste the button from clear notifications so they just slapped on that. Wish I could hide it and use the clear recent apps button from Gravitybox, but I can't hide it.

P.S. Also can't wait for an all black mod to appear around the forums since white color makes me want to wear sunglasses all the time.

P.P.S. Restoring some apps from Titanium caused bootloop but that can be fixed apparently with clear cache/dalvik and let Android update do his job.

There are alternatives for direct downloads if a billion dollar company doesnt have money for bandwith. Just put a torrent up and make its content work with pc companion. Problem solved and millions saved on bandwith?

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] deboopi2:
What rom to use for Belgium.

I've seen a lot of countries passing by but I do not know if there will be a version for Western-Europe, the Benelux or specific for Belgium.

I do know what the differences are between those file.

When upgrading to 14.40.108 I think I took an English rom and this was OK since Dutch was also in the input languages. and that was what I needed since I am Dutch speaking.

I thought there should be differences in language options depending on the country specific rom installed, but maybe this is only for Russian, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese and those language because they also have a different character set.

Or am I totally wrong, anybody with the correct answer?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] haki.gr:
Flash the Italian version because it's a standard West European firmware plus it's a smaller file than the French one which means that it has a little bit less bloatware. Languages are the same in all firmwares.
