Is anyone able to pull the lates lockscreen wallpaper? I can't seem to find it as stock wallpapers.
[Xperia Z3 General] Eason85:
Well... I installed it on my D6653 and although I can make phone calls and send/recieve texts, I get a notice saying "emergency calls only". For perhaps this reason, I'm unable to receive my LINE verification code. Anyone with the asian variant got a radio/firmware to upload?
[Xperia Z3 General] goTouch:
Yes. I think we are going to wait a little bit more to update D6633 version.
[Xperia Z3 General] hogofwar:
D6633 could go straight to 5.1?
[Xperia Z3 General] juanpirulo:
I am afraid you will have to wait till NuT updated his dualrecovery, he is working on it now. Something else must be changed to work on lollipop. cheers

[Xperia Z3 General] azirr:
has anyone here tried the pre rooted ftf?
[Xperia Z3 General] Geant39:
Is your phone branded ? Lock on a network? Mine's not, bought the phone unlocked on sony website
[Xperia Z3 General] loyonyart:
It's a pre-rooted zip and it seems to work mostly, recovery isn't accessible though and ndr utils crashes(which is probably related to it not being optimized for Lollipop)
[Xperia Z3 General] goTouch:
It could be a good thing cause 5.1 has a specific API for dual sim. But I think Z3 Dual owners is gonna wait 2 weeks more and get 5.0.2.
[Xperia Z3 General] G-FACE:
Yeah, me too. I have tested it before uploading.
[Xperia Z3 General] Eason85:
Yeah but I can't access recovery
[Xperia Z3 General] sudman:
Yep, I've just installed and I'm on generic UK. :)
[Xperia Z3 General] joepontanoni:
How long do these kinds of updates usually take to reach other countries like the UK? Days? Weeks?
[Xperia Z3 General] goTouch:
I would like to know what happen if I flash Lollipop update released for D6603 on my Z3 Dual (D6633)? Did anyone tried it yet? I don't mind loose access to the second sim card.

Both phones are very similar comparing radio frequencies.
[Xperia Z3 General] Eason85:
Yes it works. But you can't access recovery, meaning you can't use xposed.
[Xperia Z3 General] TapioH:
Is it safe to flash TWRP after installing 5.0.2. stock FTF ?

I use Netcom and got it now, a couple of hours later. Might just be individual differences though.
[Xperia Z3 General] moses_dx:
What about compact and tablets?
[Xperia Z3 General] persian_redhat:
No it's not going to work and you'll experience bootloop. Sony is going to roll out all Xperia phones and definitely they will update all Z3 versions in next few days,maybe today or tomorrow but not more than a week :o

This.

Sony always holds updates back until the point of no return.
[Xperia Z3 General] WujekT:
Relax guys, another 2 weeks don't change anything. Look at the ptcrb certification site - we get new firmawe after week or two from certification and there is no new build showed of.
[Xperia Z3 General] unmaskedfalesh:
Its not that..certification happens only in some cases..updates are rolled by sony so..they dont require for certification... In all cases
[Xperia Z3 General] sxtester:
Exactly. I'm anyways not keen on getting the buggy 5.0.X on my phone. Could wait for at least 5.1 to arrive. Remember the 4.4, 4.4.1, 4.4.2, 4.4.3, 4.4.4 story?! Not again, please.

Rom is pretty fast, but there is no clear button in recent apps and I have to get used to swiping up in lockscreen to unlock. Notification panel is pretty sweet though, comparing to kitkat.

Also you no longer can set stative wallpaper in launcher and live wallpaper (from theme) on lockscreen. It was possible on kitkat.

No...recovery still isn't working.

Xposed is still in alpha version for 5.0.0.

We'll have to wait a bit more for 5.0.1 and rhen for 5.0.2 but it's working on first version of Lolipop and that's great...

I'm not satisfied with L for Z3.

We'll have huge job to rebuild settings.apk and to build new themes for L...

Fw is fast and that's OK but in a design way - I'm not satisfied...

Rows in a settings are to high and fonts and icons are way to big...

Since PC companion was not giving me the update, so I download D6603_23.1.A.0.690_R3C_Customized BAL_1288-5530.ftf file from here (http://xdaforums.com/z3/general/ftf...553023-1-0-t3056101/post59475151#post59475151) and by following this guide -> http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-stock-roms-t2240614 I succesfully flashed the rom from 4.4.4.kitkat to 5.0.2 lollipop.

Does this mean that I automatically unlocked the bootloader or rooted my devices, if I flashed my Z3 this way (through sony mobile flasher by androxyde) or not? Sorry if it sounds the way it probably sounds :D
[Xperia Z3 General] markiepuk:

I've just flashed the Nordic/ Baltic version and my z3 did a factory reset in the process. If when the UK version comes out and I want to flash it, is there a way to not factory reset?

Do you have the "no service" problem ? Both in the lockscreen and in quicksettings....it's annoying but everything works (internet, calls and sms)

You don't need the apk, just add an account in gmail

Yup

No changes!
[Xperia Z3 General] realfelix:
There are no differences. Just that it's branded for Nordic, nothing else.
[Xperia Z3 General] bartolo5:
Took the plunge and installed 5.0.2 Baltic on my DD6603. Full wipe.

A few observations:

- Screen sensitivity is a bit different. Seem you need to move finger further for it to register. Not particularly bad, just different.

- Google Maps now renders at a much higher FPS similar to a Nexus device. Seems screen is a bit behind though from my finger movements

- SD access APIs work great. You can finally use your SD card fully if the app is Lollipop aware. You just have to give access to the app to the folder in the system you want to access. Still keeps the lock the same way as KitKat 4.4 if app is not 5.0 aware, which I think it's fine.

- Hangouts Calling still doesn't turn off the screen when you are in a call and put the phone in your face. Just makes it blank but LCD is still on :mad: As a workaround you can press the lock button.

- Camera app is a bit better. Options are now clearer with the access to menu on top left. Seems a bit faster too.

- NFC Tap to restore accounts/apps worked great from a Nexus 5 at initial boot.

- The 'what's new' bubble on the swipe up from home is gone gone gone! yay. Now you can easily get to google now swiping up.

Looks good so far.
