Okay I'm done. I do not like to argue with your condescending tone anymore. I was having an interesting argument so far though. Thank you for your time. You win buddy!

The next time you're stuck with 10% battery on your phone, I wonder if you'd know which one to choose from.
[Xperia Z3 General] lee480:
Since Stamina mode/power save is enabled all the time, doing different things in the background, there's nothing really to choose from. Unless, I'm really dying out (3-4%), maybe Ultra stamina, since it's the only toggle available? Lowering down ego by a notch may help too.
[Xperia Z3 General] requiem2es:
Has anybody made a factory reset after upgrading ? I would like to know which Sony built-in applications are coming with the new upgrade. As you know, Samsung has decided to leave only two or three Samsung applications and remove all the bloatware, so i would like to know if this is the same with Sony or not.
[Xperia Z3 General] daniel2744:
NO, i'm not having that problem at all. im just not able to get the update. someone else here has updated successfuly on the computer. i dont know what im doing wrong but i cant even get the update.
[Xperia Z3 General] undercover:
Oh ffs, no update - whining, update here - whining. You lot will always find something to argue about, won't ya?
[Xperia Z3 General] rubiconjp:
Me neither. Cannot get the update either from the Update center on phone or PC Companion.
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
Maybe they started token based activation in small percentages in other areas as well that is why you probably did not get it yet... Meaning they may accelerate in waves.
[Xperia Z3 General] zombiej79:
Looks like nut foxed recovery should have file soon
[Xperia Z3 General] daniel2744:
its alright. i'm just use flashtool and flash the ftf file right now i was gonna wait but screw it lol
[Xperia Z3 General] messierm45:
Mexico

hi, i live in mexico and i have the d6603 version, can i use the baltic or the nordic to upgrade my phone?
[Xperia Z3 General] Hussain_Salam:
You probably can, However i'm sticking to the official upgrade, Completely up to you
[Xperia Z3 General] messierm45:
Yeah, well in mexico the operador takes about 6 to 9 months to update the firmware u.u is too slow
[Xperia Z3 General] Mano1982:
I had the problem with my 64GB card. I just copied all data from card to my PC & formatted card in PC. Everything worked fine after that :)
[Xperia Z3 General] projectvii:
Yea, that's what I did. The only thing that seems off to me is that the LTE icon changed to 4G and there's so much padding between that and the actual bars. Looks weird. I'll probably reflash a North American ftf once that comes out.
[Xperia Z3 General] daniel2744:
well i can live with that lol. i just didn't know if i can flash another ftf if i were to flash the nordic one? if so like you said I'm do that when it comes out
[Xperia Z3 General] projectvii:
Here's how it looks, in case you're wondering.
[Xperia Z3 General] daniel2744:
thanks for the picture. thats kinda how it looks on the moto x for some reason too but its not too bad if it means i can get lollipop. i will use it until the US version comes out.
[Xperia Z3 General] efx_d3:
Yes, I'm using now, works great, I'm from Mexico also
[Xperia Z3 General] Mano1982:
Same here. I am also missing this option :(
[Xperia Z3 General] projectvii:
Ya, do it for lollipop :p
[Xperia Z3 General] daniel2744:
I finally was able to flash the ftf nordic file over and got me some lollipop. I read that several people were having problems with their SD cards after updating but so far I'm not having any on my 128 GB card. the movies app read my smallville and arrow episodes just fine without problem. It could be cause i wiped everything during the update.
[Xperia Z3 General] AnteusFogg:
Which model do you have, may I ask?
[Xperia Z3 General] daniel2744:
d6603 version that I use with T-Mobile
[Xperia Z3 General] bartolo5:
Does anyone know what difference could there be between Nordic/Baltic ftf's and Uk/american versions? An obvious on is the 4G/LTE icon thing, but what else is there different?
[Xperia Z3 General] t4cvx:
Can someone explain me what to do with this folder I downloaded from xperifirm?
[Xperia Z3 General] corallus:
Certain sen apps not supported,

Video unlimited for one, no access to your owned movies
[Xperia Z3 General] dedei:
I can't access configuration on the service menu, it keeps force closing :( anyone experiencing the same?
[Xperia Z3 General] bartolo5:
Use flashtool to create a FTF from those files and flash.

[Xperia Z3 General] gripfly:
Works fine for me.
[Xperia Z3 General] rubiconjp:
Usually how long after the initial PC update before OTA was available?
[Xperia Z3 General] bradmax57:
Flashed the Nordic firmware onto my UK 3 Branded handset and all seemed well, until tonight I noticed that portable hotspot isn't working.... its saying it is and my ipad and other devices will connect no problem but theres no connectivity on those despite the 3g/4g working fine on the handset, sorry if this has been asked previously
[Xperia Z3 General] Jiyeon90:
Anyone else noticed that changing the sound settings has no effect? Its broken ?

Can someone use the Google keyboard, type a word, then long press on the middle suggestion that appears just about the keyboard so that you get the grid of other suggested words and see if you still have the buggy blue and white text and background that makes that screen almost unreadable on kitkat?
[Xperia Z3 General] bergoulle:
Vikings and all other peoples who flashed the update, how do you feel with it?

Is it stable as the kit kat was ?

Medias (Camera and Walkman apps) are better ?

How is the battery ?
[Xperia Z3 General] Mano1982:
Really loving it. A lot snappier than before (or perhaps it feels like that because of smooth animations). Have not tested medias much yet, but battery life for me is as good as it was on KK. Battery life on KK was with amplify & greenify. On Lollipop just greenify.
[Xperia Z3 General] Jiyeon90:
Feels more stable than KitKat, I have nothing to complain about, battery seems equal or better. Really loving it so far
[Xperia Z3 General] undercover:
Feels snappier, more fluid. However, slows down when you build up open apps (memory leak still present?).

Overall, nice update but needs polish. 5.1 is what I think will bring it back to what it was on 4.4.4 stability (consistency rather than apps crashing) wise.

Oh, and initial impressions regarding battery: seems similar to KK
[Xperia Z3 General] bradmax57:
How can you say it seems more stable than KK when wifi tethering doesn't work?
[Xperia Z3 General] 2015Ducatimulti:
mine has been running awesome on the 5.0.2 here in the USA on Att, as I type this my laptop, its hot spotted to my Z3 working perfectly.:D, my wifi hotspot works perfectly fine
[Xperia Z3 General] messierm45:
hey if i flash the nordic stock rom, this erase my DRM or don't afect?
[Xperia Z3 General] bradmax57:
But when all that worked on 4.4.4 anyway how is it more stable? Wifi tethering is no longer working for me (and others)
[Xperia Z3 General] -Zork-:
Nice update to lollipop, it´s very good for first realease. :)
[Xperia Z3 General] 2015Ducatimulti:
I`m not sure what your asking, but my has not crashed once and I have not had any foreclosed app issues or anything, battery life seems on par or better than 4.4.4, so I`m happy as clam with the 5.0.2 baltic firmware plus my wifi hotspot works perfectly fine:good:
[Xperia Z3 General] bradmax57:
You said yours was more stable than 4.4.4? so you obviously had problems before with 4.4.4 if 5.0.2 is more stable which im my case its not which is pretty bloody simple if you ask me
[Xperia Z3 General] juanmaasecas:
2 hrs SOT and 80% battery left. Really good! No stamina, no Greenify, everything stock. Z2 user, sorry.
[Xperia Z3 General] eskamhl:
This is what i get :confused:
[Xperia Z3 General] bradmax57:
Flashed back to generic 4.4.4 and tethering works fine so what gives>?
[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
Hmm. Not different shades of blue but still quite hard to read and still inexplicably more bold towards the right. Why? Does someone think that looks good?

Thanks, anyway.
[Xperia Z3 General] 2015Ducatimulti:
yeah I did have couple of apps that were a pain sometimes they would force close in 4.4.4, but yes 5.0.2 works flawless for me at the moment, hopefully didn`t jinx myself lol:laugh:
[Xperia Z3 General] zouden:
Maybe your carrier is somehow blocking it? I'm in Australia, just flashed the Nordic firmware and tethering works fine.
[Xperia Z3 General] jonmorris:
I have the exact same problem. Have created a question in the Q&A section about this.

If it helps anyone; I'm on Three UK, on a tariff with unlimited tethering. I can connect via USB or Wi-Fi but in both cases it says the Internet is unreachable (this is on a Mac).

My wife updated her Z2 earlier, so I'll try and see if she can tether some time tomorrow - she's also on a tariff with unlimited tethering.
[Xperia Z3 General] zouden:
Maybe it's 4G that doesn't work over tethering? I'm on 3G here in Aus where tethering is working fine.
[Xperia Z3 General] ombheembush:
Did you just flash the ftf or some ROM in zip format?
[Xperia Z3 General] Vippo321:
media scanner battery drain

Hello I had huge battery draining after I mounted my sdcard on lollipop. After some searching I figured out that it was caused by corrupted file on my SD card. Now everything is fine, but I'm curious why this problem was not present in kitkat.
[Xperia Z3 General] G-FACE:
Can s.one provide What's New v.2.0.A.0.11 apk?

I've deleted it before I know that all Sony apps will be updated trough it.
[Xperia Z3 General] zouden:
Sony apps are updated through the Update Center, not What's New.
[Xperia Z3 General] caqo71:
After all comments after upgrding to lollipop that said that the update mess the phone....... some apks forced closed, things doesn't go as I spected....................

If you are too lazy to flash your phone from scratch, then spect weird things. forces closed is because you are triying to maintain your software, but if this fail, is because you didn't reinstalled it. backup, and then reinstall. :mad:
[Xperia Z3 General] Zviratko:
Just want to share my experience

I dirty flashed "D6603_23.1.A.0.690_Customized BAL-SuperSu2.46-lockeddualrecovery2.8.3modified-signed.zip" over my rooted 4.4.4 KK.

Everything just works, including Titanium. I haven't had need to mess with SuperSu or permissions.

The only thing missing is recovery, and that will be fixed shortly (I hope).
[Xperia Z3 General] Meannekes:
Updates are shown in what's new app since lollipop.
[Xperia Z3 General] G-FACE:
You are wrong :) read this http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/03/1...dates-in-lollipop-sony-ditches-update-centre/

And still, sb pass the what's new apk?
[Xperia Z3 General] tujamo1:
Can someone give me a lollipop ftf that works on D6653 and it's tested, please? :D

clean flash is best way to go when updating to a major version.. i did a clean install and having no problems.
[Xperia Z3 General] G-FACE:

Don't know why I can't find whats new on my phone but you could download it here: http://www.xperiablog.net/2014/11/18/whats-new-update-1-4-a-0-0-removes-shortcut-when-swiping-up/

If it is not the newest one, there should come a update trough update center for this app?

Btw: shouldn't be what's new in system/priv-app folder?

[Xperia Z3 General] Meannekes:

[Xperia Z3 General] 2015Ducatimulti:
FTF...... I downloaded the firmware through the xperifirm tool, then I made my own FTF file with the flashtool, then did a complete clean flash, then I did a factory reset right after I booted up.
[Xperia Z3 General] Krokogator:
Tested tethering using 3g and have to admit that there might be a problem. One page loaded ok and then i couldn't use internet on second device, not even on z3. Needs further testing...
[Xperia Z3 General] tomo100brt:
So why there is no Update center in menu? It is only in settings --> about phone

And what is this updates in What's New for?
[Xperia Z3 General] lee480:
What's new is probably for apps update while the settings for system updates.
[Xperia Z3 General] tomo100brt:
That is what I am thinking. System updates in settings is for firmware and Android updates and What's New is for app updates like Walkman, Album, Movies, etc.

Gmail notification problem with 5.02

Hi, has anyone else noticed that when you get a Gmail message the count icon doesn't work? i.e. it shows in the status bar but the gmail short cut icon doesn't show your unread email!
[Xperia Z3 General] jonsmith709:
At last someone else with the same problem, I'm on 3 with unlimited tethering also. will it matter if I roll back to 4.4.4 using flashtool or will it cause problems? does any one know if its working ok on cyanogen ?
[Xperia Z3 General] SerchioQ:
I think, z3 dual will not receive a 5.0.2 update. It is because dual sim is implemented in 5.1. I do not think sony will release a version without such feature :(
[Xperia Z3 General] crazymister:
Working correctly here.

I just set up my connection with another android (sgs4) and could browse all the way.

I did connect trough wps though, but that shouldn't make a difference
[Xperia Z3 General] persian_redhat:
How noobs like you can do easiest things like registering a user account for XDA Developers, whereas you can't solve these easy issues with yourself? :confused: The feature you mentioned is something global about source of Android 5.1 where it will be used somewhere like Cyanogenmod as it is not implemented in CM 12 for being used by Dual Sim phones like D6633
[Xperia Z3 General] SerchioQ:
Are you serious, calling someone a noob without any information about this person? Please don't measure me with your scale and everything will be cool.

I am able to resolve it by myslef but this is not the case if you don't understand. You pay extra for something and then you decide to deal with a lack of this extra functionality because company that sold you this staff is not responsible for it? It is only a guess, that Sony will not release android 5.0.2 for dual version because they will need to put more effort to implement it.
[Xperia Z3 General] lokr:
Yup, and still waiting for 23.0.1.F.0.102 that was certified 05.03.2015 on ptcrb site for our D6633
[Xperia Z3 General] Zviratko:
Also works for me. I didn't even have to reconfigure it. OSX 10.10 (MBPr) as a client.
[Xperia Z3 General] xSirAKx:

[Xperia Z3 General] jonmorris:
I've raised a query on the Sony Mobile support forum; https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xper...r-Lollipop-update-23-1-A-0/m-p/955798#U955798
[Xperia Z3 General] Krokogator:

[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
No. I wonder if Sony are watching this thread to get tip-offs for stuff going wrong.

It's all fine guys - press the button on the UK rollout now!
[Xperia Z3 General] bergoulle:
Of course they are watching this thread. Obviously there are no major issues.

[Xperia Z3 General] sid3091:
Nope. Sometimes the PC companion gets the update before OTA, but no sign up required.

im on debranded firmware, got my phone from carphone warehouse, so i should get it before you then :confused: :D

Though im with 3 aswell.

Is anyone on the new 3 plans with a 2gb or 4gb limit for tethering/hotspot? I've noticed there isn't really a limit, i can tether upto 10gb a month and it never changes my allowance lol.
[Xperia Z3 General] bradmax57:
Appears my tethering issue is a three (UK) network issue, a friend flashed the same rom and he can tether fine on EE, another person I know is on three and it wont allow it to work :( back to 4.4.4 for me
[Xperia Z3 General] G-FACE:
Yeap. Turn off and on airplane mode and it will be ok.
[Xperia Z3 General] Turb0wned:
Still no update for the 6603 in the US...
[Xperia Z3 General] joepontanoni:
Wait what? I'm on three, what makes you think it will be a long time?
[Xperia Z3 General] daniel2744:
You should just flash one of the nordic files. I was going to wait and try to update with PC companion but got tired of waiting and finally flashed it yesterday and it works just fine. Only thing I and others have noticed is it says 4G instead of LTE and the spacing is a little off but nothing major at all. Once the US gets it officially, I will flash that over.
[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
Perhaps the UK rom'll work when it eventually appears.
[Xperia Z3 General] Turb0wned:
New to Sony phones and I have no idea how to do that. I'm sure I can figure it out as I used to be addicted to flashing and what not years ago, I do t even root anymore. Can you just take the OTA when it does come out? Or do you need to flash that to?
[Xperia Z3 General] CentaXx:
I am still disappointed by the 5.0 Update.. Not only that Sony threw out so much "Xperia" Design Features like the quick settings - don't get me wrong, of course the 4.4 one had to go, but they at least could have themed the new one -, while hardly customized 5.0, they needed almost twice as long for the update as HTC for a full new sense overlay + 5.0. So, my next phone will most likely not be a sony anymore..
[Xperia Z3 General] lee480:
Fantastic. One less annoying member.
[Xperia Z3 General] daniel2744:
its real easy actually. I used my M8 as my main phone the past year until last week when i got my Z3 so i'm still new to sony as well. what you do is download a program called flashtool. there is a thread here on XDA and it will show you have to use it. watching this video tutorial helped me https://youtu.be/eCz-N5Q-bL0 the good thing about this program is that you don't need an unlocked bootloader or root to do it which by doing will erase you DRM keys for sony's camera algorithms that help with low light shots and processing.

now getting the file to flash could be done one of two ways. either with flashtool as i said above or with a program called xperiafirm. just look that up on XDA as well. I think thats everything if i remember correctly.

lastly, I'm not sure since this is my first sony phone so no experience with OTAs but i'm sure it would be fine but i'm just flash over the US version in a few weeks or sooner when its said to come out just cause.

hopefully this helps but since you have experience flashing, it shouldn't be too hard to learn
[Xperia Z3 General] Aripex:
Xperia Blog's guide here has you covered.
[Xperia Z3 General] persian_redhat:
By itself Yes. I have not tested the builds that were rolled out in the past 10 days,but before that there was no signal working for Sim. Excuse me by posting something irrelevant to this thread
[Xperia Z3 General] Turb0wned:
Thanks guys.
[Xperia Z3 General] moses_dx:

[Xperia Z3 General] goTouch:
Why Z3 Dual d6633 is taking so long? Are they going to take advantage of native dual SIM API foi Android 5.1?
[Xperia Z3 General] moses_dx:
Yes, like a nexus or any motorola as well, so not an Xperia anymore
[Xperia Z3 General] skoj:
up..I have also the 6633 model..is there any info about us??
[Xperia Z3 General] goTouch:
All articles that I am reading thinks that Z3 has been updated to lollipop. But that's not true. Not the entire family received the upgrade.

For Sony that's a good thing. It's is Enough for them. I think they hurry a little bit to release for d6603 just to relieve a little because the users pressure.
[Xperia Z3 General] bplogan:
Hi all.

I have a D6653 Australian Z3 and using the guides provided, flashed the D6603 firmware no problems at all.

So far everything looks great. It has a really slow boot every time, but my device is also encrypted, has anyone else noticed this?
[Xperia Z3 General] yasockie:
I got confirmation from official Sony Xperia account on twitter that the the DUAL version version will also get the Lollipop upgrade in the coming two weeks. We'l see how well informed the media team is.
[Xperia Z3 General] Nathan-NL:
Every time or only the first time? If it only booted slow the first time then I think you can blame ART.
[Xperia Z3 General] bplogan:
Nope every time slow reboots, maybe 5 mins
[Xperia Z3 General] Jiyeon90:
Did you do a clean install?

Because that's not normal
[Xperia Z3 General] bplogan:
Nope I unchecked all 3 options for wiping during the flash
[Xperia Z3 General] augie7107:
Thats probably your problem. Major updates should be installed fresh. I wiped, flashed Baltic 177 and updated to 690 on PC Companion

For those who have D6633 an update come out, and it's kitkat 23.0.1.F.0.102, so don't ask for lollipop.
[Xperia Z3 General] robbiekhan:
Yup I am thinking this too. For the time being I'm happy to wait it out and just flash the UK official ftf once it is out the same way I did with the Baltic one. I'll just be using a USB 3G dongle in my car head unit instead for internet access.

Dude this is a pretty dumb argument. For ages people have moaned about it not looking closer to stock Android, now we get as close as can be and with all the cool animations yet some of you still complain!
[Xperia Z3 General] radicans:
Is it worth wiping the phone and doing a clean install, or should I go with the OTA update?

Some people proclaim a fresh install is better when doing a major update like this, but I'd rather not go through that hassle if I don't have to.
