never forget that most of the people in such forums only post bad experiences - such forums are not the place pple will visit for ponting out that they are absolutely fine and have no issues at all...

I from my side am absolutely fine for now with a prerooted Customized DE and the tweaks are yet to come as the update is rolling out just a few days.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] KhaledAbdo:
thank you a lot for your support ..

for the lockscreen notifications, yes I have done that and selected the first option [Show all notification content] , and made sure that all apps are Not blocked ..

just to be clear, have you or anyone here tried lockscreen notifications with PIN / Password set in security .. I am thinking this is the reason ..

anyways, people i call since in the update say that my voice is breaking whilst I am hearing them clearly .. so I will try another build .. R1D from Emirates (my current: R6D Hong Kong) .. by the way, what's the difference between these release numbers?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] HipsterCode:
For the lockscreen I am using pattern and I can see the notification correctly.

The build numbers I guess only are some kind of versions of the system with different features enabled. I am using French now and I can say that it's working great. At first I installed the Israel version but I didn't like it so I moved to FR. What I can hear IT is the most common for the all wertern europe and should have some bloatware but not as many as the FR got (I have rooted mine and clear all the bloatware away). I am so far with battery life and everything else. Maybe go for clean install, should help a lot.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] stu15:
Thanks, good to hear, it's usually more positive on here, but these comments aren't unheard of, it was the same when my Xperia Arc S got ICS, people moaned straight away, I was indifferent but it kinda sucked performance wise.

I think I'm going to be waiting till next week for OTA now :/
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
LP is fine here. Sony did add some features that we wanted too (reboot option, etc). Of course, the problem is that google didnt fix THEIR bugs (bad wifi, memory, etc).

Not saying there arent a few bugs from sony, but i expect those to be eliminated soon.

But people who say that KK was better are correct. There werent almost any bugs known in KK (except may be the camera not available bug)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] sinple:
Initially mine does not have notification. Managed to solve it by removing security then puting back security. Might worth the try
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] LukeHorizon:
I finally did it

Generic DE
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] KhaledAbdo:
thank you , I identified the issue .. :(

the corporate account that i have disables notifications to be shown on lockscreen .. when I removed it, notifications were there ..

the ugly choice, between work and features .. :D :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] BigDoun2011:
I've been using lollipop for a day...no bugs so far!... Battery is better compared to slimkat...I did a clean install! Everything works fine. *Android os* is at 12 percent but seems normal (battery usage is okay)

I'm happy with lollipop till now :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] awojtas:
I think I'm experiencing a bug. When listening to Spotify through wired headphones, I receive a phone call (the music pauses), the phone call ends but the music that resumes is in mono out of one speaker only.

I have to pause Spotify, wait 5 seconds, then I hear a faint "click" in both headphone speakers, and when I play Spotify again it's back to output from both sides.

I'm not using a EQ, clearAudio+ is disabled and no surround sound.

Volume Normaliser is enabled.

This is on the RU rom, with root, locked bootloader, without Xposed.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] jokamaciek:
do U guys have an option in conversations apk which enables character saving? If yes, on which ROM? I do not have it on RU
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Gikey1:
Central Europe has it for sure but you have to wait for a while for Central Europe's LP. Hope, it will be next week.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] pathaniya:
Lollipop relocked my bootloader. :( and of-course UN-rooted me, :D metaphorically too.

Mobile data is disabled - how to remove notification

Has anyone figured out how to get rid of the "mobile data is disabled" permanent notification?

Tried using the stock notification blocking process (Phone is the app that's generating the notification), also Gravity box ongoing notification blocker, no luck ...
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] LukeHorizon:
I don't have that permanent, swiping it away dismisses it until I Turn mobile data off again.. Generic DE

Sent from my D5503
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] wyt18:
same behavior for me ... though its "permanently annoying" in the sense that I have to do it multiple times a day since my mobile data is controlled by Tasker to switch off whenever wifi is connected
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] LukeHorizon:
Well that is definitely annoying... Only way out I know is root
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Roxygamer:
Have you already gotten the update, cause sony said that baltic region (i am in Estonia) will get the update first, but i havent got any updates still.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] wyt18:
I'm rooted, but don't know of any simple solution ... what did you have in mind?

I could create a Tasker profile to listen perpetually for the notification each time it surfaces and get AutoNotification to remove it, but that would be resource drain
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] LukeHorizon:
Well aren't there xposed modules to hide that? But there comes another Problem, xposed does not seem to work properly ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aakash43:
Two more bugs

1) When I connect my pendrive through otg, all apps on sd card disappears.

2) Auto brightness hangs some times to full brightness.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] abhijitcp:
5.0.2 is nice but...

Updated to lollipop. Stock Indian non rooted. Did a clean install. UI is nice & zippy. Battery performance is similar to 4.4.4. The icons are quite big! Don't look great. Blue bar on top is hideous. No issues with performance. Yet to check benchmarks. Camera seems to be slow to launch. Picture quality... Will do a proper shootout & update.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] nutdevza:
With RU pre rooted firmware, it's very wonderful. The battery is strong even doesn't on stamina mode. but,I have problem with voice calls. Sometimes when I have a chat for few minutes, the sound from my outgoing call goes silent and I have to make a call again. Any solutions?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] valgusk:
Installled RU customization, did not bother to wait more for CE. So far it works, but it is in no way better than KK for me. Most of the huge games do not support moving to SD anyway, in KK i at least had an easy way to root and create symlinks. Camera is more or less the same, still that awful compression. Goat simulator and GTA SA seem to be a tad laggier than on KK. Material design seems out of pace, many unnecessary and sometimes derpy animations. Otherwise seems ok. Speaker is not too quiet for me, sounds similar to what xLoud was producing. Triflat theme is not applied to buttons anymore.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Roxygamer:
so what are your impressions about lollipop? I havent received it yet but i wait for it very much.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] wyt18:
I do have Xposed ... it works pretty well with the few modules I have (Gravity box, MinMinGuard, XInstaller, LPThemer). But AppOpsXposed and similar modules can't remove the notification. Looks like Sony/Google is really persistent in wanting people to know their mobile data is off even if it is deliberate =)

So I'm back to the Tasker + AutoNotification combination, which seems like the only way to get rid of the mobile data notification right now. Just in case anyone wants to know ... doubt I'm the only one annoyed by this
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] LukeHorizon:
Any way on rooting lollipop with BL locked?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] rob rich:
There are many ways ;) search in the forum
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] wyt18:
Yes, my BL is still locked

I used the PRF method

1. Use XperiFirm to download your region's firmware files

2. Use Flashtool to convert into a FTF

3. Use PRF creator to create a flashable pre-rooted ROM zip that includes SuperSU and Recovery

4. Factory reset, wipe cache, etc.

5. Flash zip

6. Use debloat script here http://xdaforums.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/xposed-lollipop-t3081871

7. Flash Xposed zip

8. Reboot to system

9. Install Xposed 5.0 alpha

Steps 6,7,9 optional only if you want Xposed
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] LukeHorizon:
But I need a Custom Recovery for flashing that rom right? Or are there zips flashable via flashtool
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] balanced_emotions:
I had the same issue as you mentioned at the first. All apps on sd dissapears when connecting a drive via otg.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] wyt18:
on your current ROM e.g. if you are KK and rooted, that's sufficient
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] fidgol:
I have some battery draining problems after the OTA update. Especially in the lower 50% there is battery loss of 30% in one hour idle and good mobile signal. Anybody else have problems?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aakash43:
Was it working for you now pefectly..:confused:
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Roxygamer:
How did you get the ota update?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] fidgol:
Let me correct this. I updatet via PC Companion last Thursday. Running Custom DE.

Just pressed the update button. Could a clean install fix my problems?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] LukeHorizon:
I'm on stock Lollipop...

I don't want to downgrade just for Root...

I'll just wait till there is another method
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aakash43:
Hi! Friends i want to ask a question can i move game files that is in obb or android folder to memory card without root in lollipop.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] balanced_emotions:
Nope I just restarted the phone, then they came back.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] LukeHorizon:
Battery almost as strong as before :)

2h screen on time with 90% brightness and only down to 66%... sounds about right for me

Sent from my D5503
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] kk47042:
how is that possible? i have brightness set to lowest, screen on time is around 30 minutes, and already down to 77% :(
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] LukeHorizon:
I don't know ;) was out an hour, with LTE on... Rest at home since posting, I have 35% with 3 and half hours of screen on time... GPS on aswell and chatted a little via fb messenger...

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] kk47042:
61% of battery remaining with just 55 minutes of SOT.

Mine is almost the same as before...4 hours of SOT with 30% remaining..playing subway surfer for half and hour and a lot of texting
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] zordo:
Has this been recalled or why no nordic release?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] korenisko:
They are slow :P
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Sindigo:
well, you dont need root to move apps to sdcard1 (at least for me), so should be the same with obb files.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Hellraiser76:
Just updated mine to lollipop....greek unbranded with clean installation.

Everything works great and i have a noticeable speed difference than before....will test more in the upcoming days of course.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aakash43:
I moved app to sd but there is no option to move obb or data files.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Sindigo:
i usually move app before it downloads obb, also i think that also depends on app. Some may only download to internal
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] BlackArtsInc:

hello,

still nothing for me in Belgium, I still hope for this week :good:
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] WWeltmeister:
After three days of lollipop, I am back to KK. For me Lollipop was laggy, the battery duration was much worse and I keeped getting launcher FC's (nova and xperia). Maybe it was due to the rom I've used (RU prerooted) but I'm sticking with kitkat for the moment
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] markezy:
still waiting for Lollipop update in Croatia...
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ccris:
Can anyone please test if Miracast is working with the Microsoft Display Adapter? I tried the DE Custom LP with a Microsoft Display Adapter and receive the same "The output device is not ready or does not support HDCP" error as I did on 4.4.4.

I don't find any way to use the Microsoft Display Adapter with my locked bootloader Z1 Compact...

Thanks!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Makiavell:
yah... in my opinion isn't laggy. It's smooth but not as kitkat. Multitasking is awesome better on lollipop but his slow animations and the delay (2 or 3 seconds is very annoying for me on a high-end device) when u open some apps the first time (which haven't been previously opened and are in the background) as google search, youtube or dialer from lockscreen shortcut are enough reasons to go back again to kitkat
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] DomusX10:
Thanks for your impressions. :highfive:

I'm on KK and stay on KK...seems that Lollipop on Xperia is only graphic...and even a not a good mixed graphics...;)

KK it's responsive, fluid, smooth...and battery drain is good. Performances are optimal, no lags for me on KK. Camera goes so well.

So, I stay on KK, rooted, debloated and clean.:good:

If Sony decide to release an optimized version of lollipop (5.1?) for our devices in future...I will think about an upgrade...but for now, KK rules for me.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] BlackArtsInc:
Probably a stupid or desperate question,depending on how you look at things,but I ve got to do it!

If you update KitKat 157 to Lollipop 242 retaining his data, could the SuperSU survival mode work and maintain root privileges?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] BlackArtsInc:
No. And yes,stupid question! [emoji13]

I just updated. Everything fine. Can't wait to see what's the battery like now.

I already miss root and I can't seem to find Apps Privacy settings anywhere...

You know... Permissions per app etc.

Don't see any entry for base/eplus in Germany. My last phone from eplus was completely unbranded so I think it should be Customized DE. Did you try updating with PC Companion?

XperiFirm is showing a number of new CDA's now have Lollipop - in the UK...

14.5.A.0.242 / R3D - Vodafone

14.5.A.0.242 / R2D - Virgin Mobile & Customised UK

14.5.A.0.242 / R4D - o2

Alas EE (aka T-Mobile) and Three are still behind....

14.4.A.0.157 / R4C (Three) / R7C (EE)

With EE's odd roaming (i.e. National isn't really roaming so they add a middle ground on the roaming options) I want one of there firmwares :( ....

Quite a few more are showing too.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] eddiebg:
do not have anything in PC Companion :crying:

E-Plus never again :p
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] fidgol:
What is your CDA? (method how to check is posted some pages earlier)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Henrald:
Two easy questions..

I'd be grateful for some answers to a couple of questions you pro's can answer in your sleep...

1) If I install a lollipop stock ROM, will it still get OS updates?

2) if I upgraded OTA, will I lose root? Is it known how to get it back yet?

Many thanks in advance to the clever guy or gal who can set me straight.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] eddiebg:
Thanks

Customization Version: 1279-6976_R5C

ETS Software Version: 1275-6067_9

And can i upload Lollipop ROM my phone ? And which release is better ? O2, vodafone etc..

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Henrald:
Is there a list on the web anywhere, or does everyone have to run the same queries against the Sony site? Seems inefficient.

I'm an android guy all the way... I never turn on my laptop any more. It'd sure be easier to check a website than to boot it up every couple of days just to run this application. Not a tremendous hardship, just wondering if there's a better way.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Mirhawk:
You can check on this website.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Henrald:
Cool, thanks! Not getting any results right now, but it does say it might be updating from Sony's servers.

I'm waiting for T-mobile in the UK too. Looks like it might be any day now if the other carriers have put their out, right? I'm just concerned that since I'm rooted, maybe it won't automatically update. I might have to keep checking if the update is available, but my phone isn't seeing it
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] fidgol:
Xperifirm says you have Customized CH. Dud you buy the phone seperately or did you get it with your contract?

If you want to flash the update by yourself, i recommend using a customized version as it should have no bloatware (e.g. Customized DE). There are many tutorials how to flash, just google or use the forum search. (any experienced user here to help out?)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] eddiebg:
I was bought last year with contract, but last 2-3 months ago i tried bootloader, but i dont know work or not work. Maybe than broken my phone... :((
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] fidgol:
You didn't break it. You just changed your country code. Flashing Customized DE should help you out
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] eddiebg:
How can i change country code ? Sorry I'm asking too many questions. :(
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] goldfinv:
Any one else has the problem of phone not responding/keyboard not typing in apps/messaging when playing audio via bt?

Also, i think kitkat has better battery life. With lollipop i get less onscreen time but way better offscreen time. And for slow animations i reduce animations and window duration from developer settings. I miss kitkat Quick settings panel, lollipop's is less functional
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Mirhawk:
Ah that is due to incorrect custom id. Do check out Yours on XperiFrim first, then it will work here. Same happened to Me.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] dmillburn:
Is there an idiot's guide to creating a FTF and flashing a pre-rooted firmware with recovery using PRFCreator somewhere? I was sure there was some simple step by step instructions in this thread but I can't seem to find anything when searching, and I appear to be too stupid to follow the individual instructions elsewhere. Am I just better off hoping someone uploads a pre-rooted UK with recovery flashable?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Mirhawk:
Although not the correct thread to ask, but here You go:

Creating FTF using XperiFIrm and F.ashtool.

PRF.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Henrald:
Very cool tip. Cheers, Mirhawk, you've been super helpful.

proximity sensor problem

i have updated to lollipop today and found it to be quite good. installed using Sony PC Companion and done a full factory reset after. its running very smoothly and quick to open everything. even the bigger icons look ok after awhile.

Now i've made a couple of phone calls with it i have noticed a problem where the proximity sensor isn't working right. first time the screen stayed illuminated and my ear opened several things and then put the call on silent. not good. I restarted the phone and now the screen does go dark when i make a call, but it is still making the noise it makes when you touch the screen to open anything. really annoying :( Has anybody else had a similar problem? I also don't have a close all button. its running the uk update for O2 if that makes any difference.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ggoyos:

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] New Folder:
Seems like pointless update that was obviously rushed.

Kitkat is still more stable and actually looks much classier rather than new boring design towards elderly people with poor sight.

Meh, this update left me cold.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] BlackArtsInc:
What do you mean more stable?

Not sent by me!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] wyt18:
i have the proximity sensor problem with calls too, but i had that with kitkat as well. i tried locking the screen whenever i am on a call using Tasker but it doesn't always work well. so now i take most calls on the speakerphone
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] New Folder:
Everything works in Kitkat. Can't say same for Lollipop.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aakash43:
Hi! Friends Using lollipop for weeks apart from annoying proximity issue, I found that even after moving app to sd card app data remains on internal storage. App info show that data is on sd card but when I do storage analysis there is no data of that game on sd. Take a look on screen shoot.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] BlackArtsInc:
For me everything works ok,even without a wipe before installing Lollipop.

Well,I dont play games or anything so I wouldn't know about that though...

Battery life sucks a bit to be honest but this is the case with most phones.

My girlfriend's Nexus 5 for example is even worse with the same mAh battery as Z1C.

Of course there will be a little part of the app on your internal storage. It is like that with all phones.
