How is that supposed to be a Feature? It looks so much out of place..
[Xperia Z3 General] CJ900RR:
Thanks but I just found an app that managed it in Lollipop, Parcel - Backup & Restore. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.curlybracket.backup&hl=en

Works great! Finally no mor Lifelog, Live on Youtube, Facebook etc.
[Xperia Z3 General] Krustnesis:
ClearAudio+ and any options from Sony sound enchancements not working with Poweramp. When you enable any option, music stops.
[Xperia Z3 General] bartolo5:
It's part of the theme. Whatsapp doesn't seem to support the coloring of the status bar, therefore the theme takes over.

It works well with many other apps from Google Music, Quickpic, gmail,... Frankly I think it's more of a problem with the Whatsapp people. They should just update the app so it uses this feature.
[Xperia Z3 General] realfelix:
Well it's the same with the xda and Facebook app.. I guess it's up to the developers then..

And ehm just curious but does anyone experience that if you turn off wifi and back on the Data icon stays there with the wifi icon and disappears after a Minute or so?
[Xperia Z3 General] hzmenxd:
Hi, I have a problem, I just received the OTA for my Nokia lumia 635... I was asking myself if its better update via OTA or PC Companion. I'll keep root or i'll lose it????? Thanks guys, I'm so excited to get lollipop!
[Xperia Z3 General] realfelix:
Lol ???
[Xperia Z3 General] bartolo5:
Yes, this happens to me too. But cellular data icon goes away after 15-20 seconds or so. I think cellular data gets turn off when you are on wifi so looks about right? just a bit weird though
[Xperia Z3 General] realfelix:
Yeah it gets turned off but the fact that the icon stays there that long is kinda weird. Wasnt like that on KK imo.
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
Damn you sure are happy for having bought a fake Lumia. Are you surprised it has better features than the real one? If you got it for cheap I want one as well. :D
[Xperia Z3 General] bartolo5:
Also, Stamina '+' icon next to battery is gone which is not good. Workaround, set the stamina toggle in the notification panel and you can look to see if its on just by swiping down.
[Xperia Z3 General] Playdough96:
The color of the statusbar depends on which theme you are using. The white/grey looks good with most apps that don't have implanted a statusbar color
[Xperia Z3 General] Richie5767:
For anyone who updated their z3 to lollipop, can you mount your SD card? My 64gb sandisk ultra no longer works with it. I can't detect it. Anyone else having any problems so I can check if I'm encountering the same? Lollipop looks cooler and feels smoother, but there seem to be some kinks.
[Xperia Z3 General] hogofwar:
Recovery still not fixed?
[Xperia Z3 General] G-FACE:
Nope.

[Xperia Z3 General] 2015Ducatimulti:
I flashed the 5.0.2 on my D6603 here in the USA and seems to work great and I can mount and see my samsung class 10 32gb SD, and only issue I had that couldn`t see any of my already purchased apps from the play store so , I did a factory reset and alls good now:D
[Xperia Z3 General] danw_oz:
Yep no problems mounting, but some apps were unable to write to it, so I used NextApp SD Fix to fix, now all good, just like KK

---------- Post added at 09:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 AM ----------

Yeah just flash Apple IOS, and you will also get lollipop by default on your Nokia
[Xperia Z3 General] donspar:
How?
[Xperia Z3 General] 2015Ducatimulti:
how I flash 5.0.2 on my Z3 here in the USA? I take that`s what your asking correct?
[Xperia Z3 General] caqo71:
Now I miss NUT. :angel:
[Xperia Z3 General] donspar:
Yes please...I've seen a bunch of different ways and would like to use the one that worked for you...thanks!
[Xperia Z3 General] cy88:
I know it wasn't one of the promised or suspected feature.... But by any remote chance that they have tap to sleep now in 5.0.2? :D
[Xperia Z3 General] 2015Ducatimulti:
well I used the FlashTool to do it, I downloaded the Baltic firmware with XperiFirm tool and made FTF with flashtool and flashed my Z3 with the FTF file I made.
[Xperia Z3 General] Meannekes:
Who said, There is no + at the battery anymore in lollipop? There is still the +
[Xperia Z3 General] daniel2744:
Did you download the update via PC Companion? I have a D6603 in US too and just would like to know. thanks
[Xperia Z3 General] Richie5767:
Yes. I went through PC companion to install it. I use T-Mobile in the US and I received the notice in update center after refreshing. You can also just search for it through PC companion. Your phone needs to be charged above 50% before it will allow you to install on phone after downloading the firmware to PC companion.

I haven't seen any problems except my phone being unable to read my SD card. Still trying to figure it out without wiping though.

Overall, the update is pretty smooth. Apps feel like they open instantly and I guess the Sony theme got a minor refresh.

Hope your update goes smooth
[Xperia Z3 General] daniel2744:
Alright thanks for clearing that up. I'm just new to the Z3 just got it last week which i'm using on T-Mobile as well. I had the M8 for a year at this point and knew my way around it very well. Luckily, good thing I bought the unlocked model. I'm refresh it now.
[Xperia Z3 General] Richie5767:
Yeah. I was in the same situation, but in my case I switched from a Galaxy S5 and gave it to my sibling. The Z3 just looked and felt like a more quality phone and its held up in water and when I dropped it. Good choice on the unlocked model. Fastest updates, but I do miss the trade off of having all of TMobiles bands and wifi calling because I don't get the best coverage like my former T-Mobile variant phones.

Let me know how it goes.
[Xperia Z3 General] kioshi:
If we flashed the firmware with root and SuperSU but reciberybisnt working...would we just have to flash new dual recovery or update the app simply with playstore or apk? O just don't want to have to to adb dual recovery after flashing lollipop with broken recovery.

Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 General] Geant39:
Turn airplane on and after off. Carrier fix and no more ''no service''. i fix mine like this :)
[Xperia Z3 General] daniel2744:
Lucky for me i get pretty good coverage where I live. anyways i'm not able to get the update so far. Would i have to wait for the notification to arrive on the phone and then go to the computer to get it??
[Xperia Z3 General] AnteusFogg:
Any luck from anyone on testing with T-Mo's model 6616?
[Xperia Z3 General] Richie5767:
No. As I previously stated, you will need to search for the update through PC Companion. It helps if your Z3 is connected so PC companion recognizes your model. From then you should be able to search for updates. If it shows up, download the latest firmware. Once it's complete it will ask you to connect your phone and you must have over 50% battery to continue.

If you didn't receive it, I would suggest waiting a couple days. Not sure how many have received the update already.
[Xperia Z3 General] daniel2744:
oh okay. got it now. i would just flash the file over but the flashtool file i need is only on so file-sharing sites and i have to wait forever to download it. really annoying but i figure I should get it tomorrow hopefully. I have a white Z3 if thats worth something lol
[Xperia Z3 General] dmdelgado:
I have been wondering the same thing! Can't find info anywhere! I did find a website saying that 6616 is similar to the 6603 in terms of device specifications. Does anyone know if it would be safe to flash the firmware update for 6603?

-DMD

T-Mobile Z3 D6616
[Xperia Z3 General] caqo71:
As far as I know, T-mobile modify the roms for they own, and then they release it by carrier.

You could download the KK T-mobile rom from xperifirm if you don't have it, and test the lollipop 6603 on your phone, if anything goes wrong or don't work, then you can flash back the KK one.
[Xperia Z3 General] orsinijuan:
do i need to be root?
[Xperia Z3 General] daniel_erd:
Successfully installed the Baltic Generic D6603 to my D6653.

Radio and Data working fine.

Download it via Xperifirm, create ftf using flashtool and flash it via flashtool.

I was only wipe cache and appslog and keep my data.

So far so no problem
[Xperia Z3 General] dmdelgado:
I appreciate the response! Is that something I can do without root? As far as I can tell there is no successful root method yet for the D6616. Thanks again!

[Xperia Z3 General] moses_dx:
If they are similar it will work, I've done the same with d2004 and d2005.
[Xperia Z3 General] ConstantHeatCheck:
I don't think we will see the update for Tmobile Z3 this month (March), probably will be late April and even into May (wouldn't shock me). Tmobile said they would update the Z3 to enable band 12 in May, probably a good chance they just release one big update rather than two.

I can't post links yet, but if you Google "xperia z3 band 12 may" there is a link to a reddit post on the first result. And then follow the link on Reddit to Tmobile's website and it says "Sony Xperia® Z3 - Software update coming May 2015"

Maybe this is just the band 12 update and lollipop will roll out sooner, but wouldn't shock me if it rolled out in May.
[Xperia Z3 General] Roflopolis:
That sucks real bad, might make the jump to the nexus if we dont get it by the end of this month
[Xperia Z3 General] caqo71:
Not sure but t-mobile has IP calls?, if so, then you're gonna Miss IP calls.
[Xperia Z3 General] Huey85:
everythings working fine here. no issues with 'no service', no issues with [+] missing on the battery when in stamina mode, no missing camera shortcut on lockscreen, and even just moved my first app to SD! hopefully a generic UK/AU version is out soon. but the generic baltic version will do for now.
[Xperia Z3 General] shusha87:
I did update from .77 Generic Europe to .690 Nordic Combined prerooted myself with PRF-Creator including duallock 2.8.3 and SuperSU 2.46. Everything seems to work without issues. I've just to update Google Play Service manually from apkmirror. UI works smoother and really fast. Did an hour to take all my apps to SD. Just have to order >64GB [emoji16].
[Xperia Z3 General] G-FACE:
You mean the dual recovery is actually working and you can boot to it?
[Xperia Z3 General] zouden:
I'm pretty sure it's not safe, because if it was, you could use that to get root on the D6616. I would look in the giefroot thread to see if people have tried it.
[Xperia Z3 General] caqo71:
NO, dual recovery still not work, but I think NUT will take care about this soon (not soony)
[Xperia Z3 General] kioshi:
Does he just have to update his app through playstore or we have to flash ftf with root with his new dual recovery?
[Xperia Z3 General] Crazy32:
I hope the Update for Germany is rolling out today. I can´t wait anymore :D
[Xperia Z3 General] gripfly:
I think there is now a "pocketmode" while using double tape 2 wake.[emoji1]
[Xperia Z3 General] Huey85:
the app is not through playstore.. it's a flashable (zip) or installable (executable) recovery mod. keep an eye out here:

http://nut.xperia-files.com/

2.8.3 is the latest, but not compatible with 5.0.2.
[Xperia Z3 General] kioshi:
My next question would be, can we boot into recovery by hardware buttons and flashing this updated recovery once its out? If so, I'll flash lollipop ftf with preroot.

I'll keep an eye out on that site.
[Xperia Z3 General] Huey85:
you need to already be rooted with a recovery installed - you can root and install the current 2.8.3 version of the dualrecovery by NUT, then flash a prerooted lollipop flashable zip.
[Xperia Z3 General] kioshi:
Yep, already rooted with locked boot loader on .77 firmware. I just want to make sure I can boot into recovery by hardware keys still with lollipop flashed since you can't boot via app according to people into recovery and flash the new dual recovery that works with lollipop.
[Xperia Z3 General] Huey85:
ok. if that is the case then no, you will not be able to boot into recovery AFTER you've flashed the pre-rooted 5.0.2 fw. As stated, NUT's current version of dualrecovery does not support lollipop. we have to wait for him to update it.
[Xperia Z3 General] kioshi:
Got it. I'll hold off on flashing lollipop build till Nuts updates and someone compiles it with the preroot ROM with it.

Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 General] zouden:
As I understand it, you'll be able to install the new recovery (when it's out) just using root.
[Xperia Z3 General] caqo71:
NUT recoverys are not working by now. Even you can get a rooted new lollipop, and even you could install the latest dual recovery, it says to you that the recovery installed ok, but it doesn't work. You get a RED light when yo boot your phone. just wait to NUT to solve that (and a donation if sucssesfull will not be bad :cowboy:)

Location based wifi and nfc icon in notifications bar

Hi! Did you always have location based wifi option in the power management menu and the nfc icon in the notifications bar ??? Because with the baltic version I don't havé these options ...
[Xperia Z3 General] zouden:
More or less. The NUT installer contains a batch file which sends a lot of ADB commands, pushing a bunch of files.

You just need root, the installer will take care of the rest. That's how you get the recovery installed in the first place!
[Xperia Z3 General] gripfly:
Tried to freeze or delete with titanium backup?
[Xperia Z3 General] jemeljsh:
My phone is unrooted so titanium backup won't work.
[Xperia Z3 General] kioshi:
Ah.....I remember doing that when I rooted with locked BL, but it didn't stick. I had to run the file several times hah.

Now you've tempted me 90% to flash 5.0.2 and update recovery via installer :)
[Xperia Z3 General] caqo71:
Just wait for NUT to solve the new recovery. the last one on rooted phone will work (visually), but don,t work
[Xperia Z3 General] kioshi:
I caved in :(

Flashed just now. I'll update via installer file like you said.

I'd give you that is but I used them up according to XDA.

1: Downloaded the ftf file you posted (from mega).

2.Downloaded the androxyde flashtool 0.9.18.5.

3. Placed the ftf file in the flashtool firmware section

4.Now I have to push the flash button on the software (better to check wipe cache/data from what I know)

5.Turn off my z3 and when the flash tool asks me to push the down button and connect it

6.Then it will flash the firmware and I am done

I followed these instructions without a problem. My Z3 is locked bootloader and non rooted.

Can anyone report back about the low latency audio that was supposed to be in lollipop? I am curious if it made it.

I doubt it; they could release to a small subset of any region. Wasn't there some swedish testing recently.

Was kinda used to the LTE icon, now with the Nordic firmware it shows 4G.

When germany customized comes out, can I just flash it over without wiping?

[Xperia Z3 General] kernald:
That's how these kinds of roll-outs works. Samsung tests its ROMs in Poland, Orange in Poland and Romania… On the other hand, you have companies like Google which release to 1% world-wide, but the idea is always the same: test on a small marketshare before a massive deployment, to be able to pull the update off if something goes wrong.

Can someone confirm that this recovery works?

[Xperia Z3 General] gripfly:
Then I don't know. An other possibility would be if you flash a prerooted zip(to get root and use TB) but for this you would now have to go back to 4.4.4 or something to use recovery..

With "pocketmode" I mean that the screen doesn't turn on while your device is in your pocket. Didn't worked for me with KK very well. But until now I didn't had a problem with with it. Maybe it's just a imagination that it works better. :)

Btw: just released that we can change the clock from lockscreen without going to settings. Just hold the clock and you can choose. ;)

Official Lollipop ROM's will come in probably a week's time. Why don't you wait for them?

In any case, to put the on-screen buttons, open the Root Browser app from Play Store. Give it root access. Go to System, open build.prop and edit it using RB Note Editor.

Add this line at the end of the note:

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

and then reboot

Other Lollipop apps are in my Dropbox (I don't have the link atm, but if you search the Lollipop Preview Discussion thread for dropbox you'll find it) or the Nexus 6 dump (google)

As for the GPE conversion, expect a TWRP comparable ROM a couple days after the OTA for all variants (GSM)
