My Sl Number is 1284-7847 and I can not find this CDA on Xperifirm or Google.

Any suggestion?

Sorry bad English.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
weird. didnt found your numer either.

Cara, instala qualquer rom de preferencia sua pelo xperifirm (eu comprei meu cel na alemanha e uso a rom alemã "customize DE" e tudo funciona perfeitamente, 4G, etc etc etc...)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
once again google didnt backup my wifi passwords after hard reset :mad:

icon are big but we will eventually like it

quick setting where better in KK. u have to do another click in LP

phone is hot because its installing and setting its cache up

No lock screen widget for music player?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] biggiebro:
Working here as well, dirty install
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] speig:
Well, now i'm pissed. After a installing and configuring for a few hours, my phone just performed a full factory reset and wipe on its own.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
well i use playerpro so i have this widget on lockscreen. dont know w/ walkman

The 5.1 aosp binaries are released...so update soon?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aigaming:
i don't know about you guys but superior auto is useless in low light now in lolipop on my phone ;)

It bumps so much iso that the photo is like i shoot it with old low budget phone :(

Alhough iso 800 with flash is enough(tried same photo on manual) it sets it to 3200 and photo is useless ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] rob rich:
So, after 3 days on Sony 5.0 i go back to cm12 because this Sony Rom has no real advantages compared to cm IMHO. only thing is camera.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aakash43:
So even in lollipop i can't write to sd card without using file commander.........:crying:
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] fidgol:
I can only download via PC Companion, not with my phone itself. (Customized DE)

Am I the only one?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] balanced_emotions:
Are you sure it is 1284? 1280-7847 is the cda # belongs to Orange Poland.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] ifrxda:
I can't even download it by using PC Companion.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] balanced_emotions:
z3 compact is gonna be downgraded ?? z1 compact is gonna be the next? :confused:
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] chibiribiri:
Now... got the update yesterday eve on Companion. Not much time, because i didn't have much time to test it out. It feels laggy sometimes. But it looks nice. The tinted status bar on some apps is annoying, yeah. But i can live with it. Or is there an theme which fix it? Without root. Think i will do a full wipe and factory reset + repair later. Did the same with KK and it feeled much smoother afterwards.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] fidgol:
Weird...

But as all updates are optional for the user, there's no need to apply this downgrade.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] rob rich:
no, they haven't received that 23.2 FW yet. They received the 23.1 from March and next will also be a 23.1.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] balanced_emotions:
I guess it is about the certification dates. The PTCRB Company might be late in certificating the earlier version.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] giober98:
So any workaround on the apps that reactivate themselves after Ultrastamina mode?

BTW I found this theme that replaces the coloured bar with a black one

http://www.gizmobolt.com/2015/03/29/xperia-lollipop-black-white-and-material-design-theme/
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] nonyhaha:
What apps activate themselves?

I did not see any ention about this but I am interested.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] deboopi2:
Really?

I thought Lollipop removed this and wrting to sd should work.

I haven't done the upgrade yet since there seemto be too much problems.

I'll guess I'll wait a while until there are some custom roms able to remove those nasty bugs.

Pity as I was hoping to upgarde as soon as possible, upgraded the HTC One (m7) from my wife some time ago and over there it seems to work pretty well.

So I'll wait a bit, I do not like it anymore to be an early adopter and to be confronted with those problems.

Anybody else with the same problem or can it be changed?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] kwasiborek:
Try " open camera " or "better camera " and you will be able to tweak your camera a whole day with manual settings ;)

Phone is stable and smooth now with KK i will let you test L for me ;)

peace guys :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Aestetica:
I havent tried any of them (i have the Camera FV-5 app), but they cant possibly have same manual functions as API 2.0 allows - and most important of all, they cant possibly output RAW photo files, only jpegs.

That being said, i would rather wait and have Sony implement L in a proper way than have them release sub-optimal software fast.

And because KK is in a good state now, Im not desperate to have L released quickly. But once its released i'll definitely install it (of course provided its not too buggy).

Sorry for so much off-topic, will quit now :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] TheEndHK:
I think there is no chance for us to have Camera API v2 in 5.0 because when you look at other brands like LG and Samsung, they refused to implement it on their existing flagship products on LG G3 and Galaxy S5 and Note4, in 5.0.

They want to force users to upgrade because the android market is decreasing sales except Xiaomi in low-end market. High-end market is facing a big challenge from Iphone6/6+ now. I'm afraid even though Z3/Z3c won't has API2 supported and you gonna upgrade to Z4/Z4c with the whole new camera in mid year(expected to announce on May and sales on June). We'll see because Z3 got certificated with 5.0 now and should roll out within this month.

I'm now taking Galaxy S6 on my upgrade list seriously because it got 1/2.3" 20MP OIS with API2 this time though the price is too over.

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Hellraiser76:
Ok we get it ....now can you please stop spamming this thread.In case you didn't notice this thread is called "News about Lollipop update".
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] awojtas:
I just want to suggest that if we think RAW is going to improve our photos dramatically, we should have lower expectations.

The built-in Sony camera engine is probably making maximum use of the RAW data it receives. It is highly unlikely we will have a software equivalent that can process images as well as this does.

I'm interested in it for two things: white balance control and reducing the sharpening.

Even then, I suspect the Sony JPG output will probably be superior in most cases - not because I don't know how to use Lightroom - but because it is a very small, limited sensor, compared to a DSLR, so the RAW could require heavy processing to look half decent.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] TheEndHK:
I have exactly opposite ideas here. The Sony algorithm is almost the worst on Earth so indeed Sony really needs RAW because we can do it in Lightroom. Other brands actually not that necessary to have RAW because their JPG and after-processing is acceptable.

But you're right about the sensor and lens. RAW won't dramatically changes the image quality on smartphone like a DSLR but it can fixes many bugs on a photo like wrong WB, noise reduction, sharpen level, JPG artifact.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Sichroteph:
And raw can be very useful to find back information that would be lost by the jpeg treatment, like objects in the shadow.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] korenisko:
Please, move to photography thread. Thx

I at least wrote anything about LP ;)

You didn't ;)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Koostis:
No Z4, no lollipop even for Z3, what's wrong, Sony?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Hellraiser76:
It's pretty much official that Z3 will get the update on March and Z1 on April....what's the rush anyways?

The phone is working great and sony keeps on giving constant updates for her applications....
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Koostis:
It was pretty much official that z3 would get it in February a month ago. And the rush is just for a change, Sony updates the apps, but the whole UI has become kind of.. outdated
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] zlata:
Don't rush it.It will be full of bugs.Kitkat is great.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] crazyscow:
my guess is all the vendors are waiting for google to release a stable version of lollipop, it seems like they keep updating android. they already talking about android 5.1, so i would wait until the get all the problems resolved.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] omegastarr:
5.0 is "the next big thing" (if you get the reference) so more time will be needed to optimize most of the things. Remember when kitkat 4.4.4 came out we recieved the update literally a few days after it's release. So maybe it's going to be the same with 5.0.2 and 5.1. After yesterday's disappointment on the mobile scene it seems that I'll be waiting for a late z4 release this year. Sony is losing me but there really is no other place to go so..
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] TheEndHK:
Both Xperia M4 Aqua and Z3 in MWC2015 are already running on 5.0.2 ... so I think it will real(I wish) arrive for Z3/Z2 this month this time.

---------- Post added at 12:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 AM ----------

They are real slow now probably busying with Z4. I'm afraid we are impossible to get it til May, it looks like Z3/Z2 will get it no earlier than mid March or even at the March end. I think I won't have time to taste lollipop on z1c(I will miss it) because I'm thinking to upgrade to other phone like Galaxy S6 sometimes in April.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] marsx1984:
I am more optimistic and say that we will get lollipop this month along with the z3,z2 and z series.

Something to get the Lollipop hype fired up, Z3 running Lollipop.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] blue4you:
I had the same issue with SD Card yesterday.

I had fix it like in KK. Now it works.

For all who make a dirty installation or have some lags. Make a clean installation or a full wipe. I have done it.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] stu15:
I don't have Xperifirm and don't intend to unlock and root until the future, or at least after official lollipop is released. They used to list the all the model/serials for each phone and post the download link to manually update when it was available... What I'm asking is, is my serial number's update available via Xperifirm yet? 1279-5054. Google only shows store fronts selling it with this, I'm sure mine is a standard UK unlocked handset.

Thanks :)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] nonyhaha:
anybody having issues with automatic brightness? mine gets very low on brightness from time to time.

Sony didn't do this. maybe somebody on the forums.

you can search by this number using xperifirm (http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/pc-xperifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142) and download it if it is online.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] FrikandelChris:
Is it possible to move back to 4.4.4? I'm missing some essential functions in 5.0.2... (E.g. LED not working in silent mode)

I have LOST root and a LOCKED Bootloader... can i flash back to 4.4.4 (and get my root back)?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] vyaskd:
flashed with flashtool, rooted and removed many unwanted apps. now got 1.2 gb RAM free and more battery backup. running smoothly.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] stu15:
Try factory reset for the LED fix perhaps, as for the update, I believe it's normal to loose root and unlocked after updating. It happened to me on my Nexus 7. You could just unlock and root your lollipop.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] AlonsoRudolfo:
Sorry, but how to root a original FW that easy? Did I miss anything?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] rob rich:
of course, just flash a 4.4 FTF via Fashtool
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] stu15:
Well, you unlock the boot loader and root the device as you would normally, this method is probably a little harder than what you're used to by the sounds of it.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] AlonsoRudolfo:
link plse?

edit: got it. how to root the unlocked device I need :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] stu15:
Sorry, you're best looking at the guides in the forum sticky posts. I've not done it with the newer Sony phone's, I've only done it on the older ones, the method has changed since then. (It might be easier?)
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] giober98:
By doing the factory reset via settings will all my internal storage be wiped?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] rwhryz:
Is there a root method already for locked bootloader?

I feel not at home with all these bloat.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] jokamaciek:
anyone managed to install Viper4android on LP? I did it but after turning on it does not change anything. Maybe it is solution for very low speaker volume?

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] stu15:
If you go to settings > home, are you using simple home or Xperia home?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Schlengge:
There is.

With an alternative launcher for example.

I use Action Launcher for that.

But the option for downscaling icons is only available in the pro version (€4,99).

Maybe there are launchers which enable this for free.

By the way:

I have no clue why they made the icons so big. Looks extremely ugly to me.

Was the first thing I changed.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] stu15:
I like Sony's launcher, but I've been using the Google Now launcher instead. I'd advise using that for something more a custom to android, with integrated google.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] LukeHorizon:
I'll be using Nova Prime then ...

i love their Google integration, with all that Material Design animations and stuff :) best investad 3€ for Android so far

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] rjkmadison:
So far, pretty good and figuring out the new ways

Another experience for the pile...

Upgraded yesterday via PC Companion - from 4.4.4 completely stock on model 1279-6214 on T-Mobile US. I just upgraded without a factory reset.

It went smoothly and took about an hour or so to settle out. During that hour, it was updating apps (including Play Services) and, presumably optimizing. After that, it has been pretty nice and cool, with similar battery to KK. Another day or so will tell if there is any big difference in power management. (There are so many variables to battery life - cell signal/issues in area, Office 365 responsiveness, Google sync issues, etc., etc.)

I have found work arounds to most of my annoyances - ie, to get in vibrate only mode, just hold the volume down for a bit. I liked the power menu option better.

What I still do not like: notifications on the lock screen and the swipe before entering PIN code. I have been trying out Smart Unlock with locations, but will probably disable that as my phone is used to hold work information and some is of a sensitive nature.

I have not tried a voice call or used my HBS-700 headset yet. That will happen today some time.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
You can disable notification on lockscreen.

Swipe before entering PIN : HATED THIS. tried to found something that removes it but no luck. Found a thread in Google android forums with hundreds of people arguing about that (https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79889) and made my colaboration.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] LukeHorizon:
I just downloaded Customized DE with xperifirm and then decrypted and bundeld it with flashtool, now the .ftf is 24MB big?

[Xperia Z1 Compact General] stu15:
So I've downloaded Xperifirm, and i don't know if i should be worried or not, but my CDA isn't listed.

Though im aware of

- so i probably shouldn't, it just means I'll probably be the last person in the UK to receive the OTA update ;_;

For reference again, my CDA is 1279 - 5054. If anyone finds anything whilst they're looking around, let me know. Im surprised there's less information about updates since owning my Xperia Arc S.... :confused:

So big question....i have a baltic rom phone although i bought it in Greece and i want to know if i can flash the greek kitkat rom and afterwards the greek lollipop rom without bricking my phone or causing any troubles!
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] rjkmadison:
I understand that, but the notification bar is not visible anymore in L either. I don't dislike the notifications on the lock screen, but I would like to filter them.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
of course you can.

As any attempt yesterday failed, today is the day

downloading DE from the forums right now, hope I'll get it before 8pm, bad internet connection :/

Is there a close all button for recent apps? Because someone mentioned it is, but I don't have it.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] profyler:
this is a weird thing. Some regions seems to have it and some not. I dont have it.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] neandertaler19:
I find it strange to have a "close all" button, since tabs in Chrome are always visible in the same listing, so they would eventually also all be closed?!

And yes, some have it, some don't. Customized DE doesn't have it.
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] loolser:
bluetooth speaker finally works, great sony!:good::good:
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] templeka:
You can remove chrome tabs from recent in browser settings. It's a pretty annoying default option in my opinion.

Nope. That's the RU pre-rooted version there, the RAM bar is from Gravitybox and that's me complaining in there [emoji1]

So, its Friday tomorrow, those of us that haven't received the OTA update yet, are we hopeful for a release in the last day or do we think its going to be Monday now?

Let me know if I'm not the only anxious one xD

What would be the consequences about that (I'm on 5.0.2 but want to go back to 4.4.4, thought about installing dual recovery).

Bugs with sound effects

Hello everyone,

Did anyone notice that sound effects don't work as they should after the LP update. Choosing between off-studio-club does nothing. The same is with system equalizer. Any thougts?
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] Epipsychidion:
Actually have been running different software - originally Telstra based, then unbranded, tried Omnirom a while ago and have been using cm12 which I have enjoyed. I would just like to see what the official Sony software is like for the region..... Will probably end up back on CM though
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] KhaledAbdo:
Hi all,

I just updated to LP through xperifirm / flashtool .. build of hong kong ..

now I have some rather questions than issues ..

- lockscreen notifications are not working when PIN key is set .. i checked on my Nexus 7 and it's working fine ..

- status bar coloring doesn't work in all applications (system and google ones are working fine, but facebook and whatsapp for example are not)

- shouldn't the screen light up when a notification arrive .. I remember that was the case in Nexus 7 ..

I am referring to nexus 7 (or even a nexus 5) for the pure lollipop .. then asking here for peers with same Sony customization, to identify what's included and what's removed .. :)

thanks in advance ..

EDIT: does any of the above have anything to do with Data Wipe during flashing? as I unchecked this option to keep my apps and data .. :D
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] HipsterCode:
I am trying to validate it but in terminal I checked the sestatus and it's enforcing still. At least for me. :confused:

For the notifications check the Sound & notification > when device is locked what you have there.

Status bar should be implemented within the app so if it's not the system color is blue or it depends which theme you are using. there some really great themes available now which you can check

I don't think that Sony implemented such a feature.

Hope this helps a little
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] stu15:
Has anyone seen the Sony blog, the comments section of the post announcing the recent updates has basically been filled with people saying its buggy and terrible, seen a few people say similar in here too...

So why am I sat hoping for it to be released when its probably bad...? ;_;
[Xperia Z1 Compact General] aakash43:
Headset presets in equalizer is buggy no matter which headphone you select in option it depends upon your luck which preset will be applied. Even sometime you click on the same headset preset again and again after selecting some other presets you will get different outcomes. So that's what we get after so much waiting.
