So most European countries have got the update now? Has anyone in the UK got it yet? :? The baltic one has some bugs, main one being me not able to tether/use my phone as hotspot.
[Xperia Z3 General] Beno@:
Has anybody been able to use TTS? Some apps require it (eg: for workout directions) but I haven't been able to enable it sinnce the update
[Xperia Z3 General] iKlutz:
No, still waiting ?

Have you tried this
[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
What sort of things can you do wrong? Is it in the way you press "Download" ?
[Xperia Z3 General] kurosawa79:
No actually a ritual dance needs to be done prior to install. Place phone in middle of floor and tango around it 5 times while praying to the Sony servers. Then give thanks to the diety Hirai and praise Webern's wit. Then you will have a successful install.

Not as easy as it looks, is it?

The 28 th ?

28th Feb ?

Source : http://blog.us.playstation.com/2015/01/28/playstation-meet-spotify/

Prior to the launch of Spotify on PlayStation Music, the Music Unlimited service will close in all 19 countries on March 29, 2015.

Nearly all

(OTA propagation) of these countries will be among the 41 markets where PlayStation Music featuring Spotify will be available at launch, including the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Brazil. From February 28, 2015, Music Unlimited users with active subscriptions will receive up to 30 days of free access through March 29, 2015

maybe the new walkman does include a Spotify authentication ...
[Xperia Z3 General] jonmorris:
I haven't seen any images/videos of 5.0.n on an Xperia, but boy do I hope the ability to clear notifications will remain at the top of the screen, not the bottom (like every other Android 5 device I've updated). It's such a PITA when you have a lot of notifications, and as you scroll down you have to hit bottom right at the correct time. Scroll too far and you just close the notifications completely.

Who thought to put an option in such a place?
[Xperia Z3 General] Alaa | Google Android:
i don't think

Sony Mobile Communication are not same the department of Sony Computer Entertainment !

Recently, the Xperia Z3 supported the PSP4 with a remote.
[Xperia Z3 General] abhinav.tella:
I never expected for Music Unlimited to survive, was thinking this would happen sooner or later. It does not have as much publicity or differentiation as iTunes/Google/Spotify etc and consolidation in the market is expected.

There is some news that it may be delayed to March! Google for "xperia z3 lollipop" and you will see what I'm talking about!!!
[Xperia Z3 General] corallus:
Good, glad they're taking the time to iron out all the bugs. I'd rather wait than deal with a rushed buggy mess.

A link would have been helpful. I can only see news on it arriving in Feb, looking at recent updates.
[Xperia Z3 General] mattlawk:
Everybody just be patient!!!! It's coming out before Gta 5 heist do..... They are fixing the bugs.... If you wanted that early next time buy the Google xperia version or buy an international that can be rooted then you can do a manual ota push....

[Xperia Z3 General] kernald:
You're talking about a carrier-specific schedule here. Nothing let you say that Sony has delayed the roll-out. However, like some people already said here, what's the point of having it in february if it must come with a ton of bugs? I had the 5.0.0 then 5.0.2 on my Nexus 7 (2012), I would be happy to wait if someone at Sony thinks it's better, and avoid the 5.0.0 nightmare.
[Xperia Z3 General] kalealex:
Rogers in Canada is posting a release of March 5 for Lollipop. Can't wait!
[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
Ah - the ibtimes. The blog disguised as a news site. Let's dig into the "facts" in this story, shall we?

"might be delayed in select regions"

Might be!

"We believe the delay has to do with"

We? I'd like some source with that, please, otherwise it's just...you know....typing.

"Sony was expected to roll out the latest Android OS initially to Z3, Z2 and other Z series devices in early 2015. Now it looks like Xperia Z-series owners have to wait a bit longer."

Why despite the "expectations" does it now "look" different? It's still early 2015, right?

At best, this is someone claiming that one network in one country might have the release date slip from "early 2015" a few weeks to "early 2015". Somehow I'm managing to stay perfectly calm about this, especially as I'm not in that region, nor on that network.
[Xperia Z3 General] unmaskedfalesh:
Well i have seen only nexus users..whinning all over xda..about Lollipop's issues..neither moto users,sammy users, htc users are there...just nexus..and y would u want to cry about buggy nexus firmware.. It was too early release...
[Xperia Z3 General] corallus:
Dunno, Sammy s5 seems to have a few whinging already.

But as I said, I want Sony to take time and get the z3 where it needs to be, not rushed just to appease the impatient few.
[Xperia Z3 General] boostedneonsrt4:
I just hope they fix the camera software....... my biggest gripe.
[Xperia Z3 General] iKlutz:
Three mobile UK announced today on their website that they're "awaiting the final word from Sony" and it should be released by the end of the month.

To me, this seems as if they already have it, they've added their brand software and have submitted it back to Sony for review?

No idea to be honest. There has been a newer version (.726 vs .690) doing the rounds which now has a 'close all button' to close all apps at once. But any other changes I can't comment on.
[Xperia Z3 General] jemeljsh:
Which of the newest releases for Z3 (D6603) besides Russian 23.1.A.0.726_R5C, has "Close All" button ?

I am now on Russian 23.1.A.0.726_R5C and besides the "Close All" button can't really tell any difference. Battery consumption [MENTION=435504]idle[/MENTION] seems to be improved even futher :good: I flashed it with flashtool and did a factory reset after installing my apps.

Tried also German Telecom 23.2.A.0.278 version and it had no "Close All" button.. Is it an older build although the name suggest otherwise? :confused:

Btw, German version has LTE icon instead of 4G icon as it is with Russian and Baltic Region version..
[Xperia Z3 General] kurosawa79:
I tried the MENA .726 version and that has LTE signal icon but I don't have a close all button, although others have said its there in this version...

(Unless I'm meant to enable the close all button somewhere in the system menus??)
[Xperia Z3 General] jemeljsh:
No, it should be ON by default as there is no setting to disable/apply it.

What confuses me is the fact that "Close All" button is not in the 23.2.A.0.278 version which seems to be a newer one :confused:.

23.1.A.0.726 Russian build has "Close All" button

23.2.A.0.278 German build has no "Close All" button, but the kernel build day is newer than the above mentioned Russian build.

How's the battery performance in lollipop? Better or worse than kitkat?

Probably already asked sorry.. Haha

Thanks for the replies
[Xperia Z3 General] Aightu:
Still no NL generic or Kpn NL branded. Anyone got tips which rom to flash? Whats gonne work best in the Netherlands?
[Xperia Z3 General] vRS Carl:
I flashed generic German and I'm in the UK. That worked fine. I have gone back to my Vodafone version of KitKat as the UK version i suspect may land this week.

I found battery life slightly worse than KitKat. But that may be due to not being fully conversant with all settings etc in lollipop.

I'm an iOS user and my main phone is an iPhone 6 Plus. But I have the Z3 as a work phone so both get used a fair bit.
[Xperia Z3 General] hogofwar:
Has dualrecovery been fixed for z3 lollipop yet?

Mind you it's not like the dates can't slip....
[Xperia Z3 General] Hussain_Salam:
Source?
[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
They already announced February. The website (http://support.sonymobile.com/gb/xperiaz3/software/) says march. It's now April. At this rate it'll be june or july, with 5.1 next year, and the fix for the memory leak in 5.1 some time before christmas 2016, if the z3 is still supported then; Sony will probably be teasing about the Z7 at that point, though.
[Xperia Z3 General] Hussain_Salam:
Found the source!!

[Xperia Z3 General] xSirAKx:
It was the only thing I recieved after charging my phone, so I assumed it was the cause. As soon as I deleted it, it stopped consuming battery.
[Xperia Z3 General] cadboncopyvw:
I'm well aware they may have previously announced other dates but thanks for the reminder anyway. Given that they have actually started a global rollout I would think that this date is more likely to be hit than some of the other "pie in the sky" dates though ;)

[Xperia Z3 General] Pinga144:
One question for me:

Does it have any impact if I flash a customized version of another market to my phone?

For example when I have a Central Europe 1 Version and I flash now a RU version?
[Xperia Z3 General] freddy1991:
What kind of impact do you mean?

It won't cause anything bad to your phone.

I don't know about the warranty issues.

For example, I have a D6653 but I had flashed a D6603 Baltic rom and doing well.
[Xperia Z3 General] goTouch:
That's exactly what I was going to ask.

I was about to flash lollypop released for Brazil. But I noticed that Russian(RU) version has 150MB less on system partition. I flashed Russian version and everything seems to be OK. Brazil version has to much bloatware.

But I'm afraid about optimizations on network (2G/3G/4G(LTE)) made for specific region. Does anyone know if Sony makes optimizations for each region? Or it is good to go if I flash a different region?

I'm using lollipop released yesterday for RU on my Z3 (D6633) here in Brazil. Everything seems to be fine.
[Xperia Z3 General] qatrium:
Flashing a different customization copy on your phone won't have any negative impact as long as you're flashing the correct version for your model, and it will not void your warranty on most cases unless your vendor states it will. All what will differ is the accompanying bloatware or fonts.
[Xperia Z3 General] scoobydu:
Anyone had any news as to why Sony removed ‘hi-res audio via usb’ in Lollipop?
[Xperia Z3 General] meteor999:
All I know is, UK must have bells and whistles coming off it!!!!

I would like to know the sony official excuse. Does the UK and Ireland use different transmission towers, or are we not ready for garmin navigation. As the only difference I got (From Ireland) when flashing the central europe customised was the addition of garmin navigation (which I immediately deleted as I prefer google maps).

Having said that I am expecting UK customised to be a newer version to .690 otherwise Sony have no excuse. If they just release .690 in the UK then I may have to think what the f**k is wrong with you.......
