Oh, nope. No issue here. Battery life is pretty good. Try get BetterBatteryStats to see if there's anything that consumes a lot of your battery.

From the start of flashing CM since this latest one I've always had phone problems though, but never consistent issues. Not being able to answer to downright problematic/annoyances though.

Just before this post I got a phone call, the phone lit up for a second then turned itself off - when turning the screen back on the ringtone stopped; but I could still answer at least.

Is there any knowledge on when a Stable version will ever come out? Seems like we're long away from that though. A lot of problems people keep posting in the thread, barely ever get fixed that it's as if they're not really listening.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] broduderson:
It's been months and we are still having issuues with just answering calls. I think a stable build is a very long way out.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] :
As of today CM nightlies are based on Lollipop5.1. Maybe this will make things better or maybe they waited for this releasoe before concentrating their efforts on the z3c. We can only hope.

also I'm downloading the FXP Cm12.1 build right now, in hopes that they have put more effort into supporting the z3c. I'll keep you posted on this one.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] meinnameisthase:
The fxp build from april 13 doesn't work. Save your time and wait for the official CM build that's coming tonight!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] broduderson:
What's the difference between the fxp builds and the official CM builds?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] meinnameisthase:
The FXP builds are (supposed to be) tested before release and have ben updated lately only after some big changes concerning Xperia phones, whereas CM official builds are built automatically almost on a daily basis, with no specific tests on the devices.

However, there are some other differences too: official CM is on a 3.4 kernel, and FXP on the state-of-the-art 3.10 kernel.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] :
Unfortunetly theres no CM12.1 in the official repos yet :(

But I stumbled upon this: On the CyanogenMod github if you take a look at z3c/include/sony_lights.h the file says:

#define LED_BACKLIGHT_PATH "/sys/class/leds/wled:backlight/"

#define LED_RED_PATH "/sys/class/leds/led:rgb_red/"
#define LED_GREEN_PATH "/sys/class/leds/led:rgb_green/"
#define LED_BLUE_PATH "/sys/class/leds/led:rgb_blue/"

#define LED_BRIGHTNESS_MIN 188

I'm no programmer, but could it be, that the LED_BRIGHTNESS_MIN value is simply set too low? So when we turn down our brightness the software is giving the display less power than the minimum should be, thus leading to the flickering?

I have absolutely no idea if this is actually a realistic szenario or just plain bullsh*t I'm thinking. Nevertheless it just came to my mind and I felt like putting it out there. :silly:

Hi... Every time I flash the Boot.img via fastboot my smartphone does Not Start... I See no Logo and can not Boot in recovery. So I have to flash the stock Rom bis via flash mode and flash tool.

What am I doing wrong? How can I get cm in my xperia?

Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] meinnameisthase:
Which boot.img are you trying to flash? FXP CM 12.1 from april 13 doesn't work. The others do work fine.

And if you get back to fastboot, you should be able to flash another boot.img and get back to recovery that way.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] MattCorbellino:
I am running on cm12 (plain), how can I flash the fxp's one? is there a way to flash it without wiping everything?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Calvat:
An interesting thought, but I just got the latest Nightly and it seems to be bugged.

When adjusting the Brightness slider to go under 10~20% or so, the brightness doesn't change. In fact at one point, going under that 10/20% would turn the screen off entirely. The second time I tried it, it didn't turn the screen off - it just didn't change brightness.

When I turn off Adaptive Brightness, it seems the screen doesn't even get that dim.

So it seems to be an issue with Adaptive Brightness. Adaptive Brightness can get dimmer than the lowest of the low, without adaptive.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] IceTi:
I flashed an image from from april 20.

It doesn´t matter what kind of boot.img i flash... always thesame problem... the smartphone does not start... any other idea?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] :
I justed switched to THIS unoffical 12.1 build from [MENTION=4899556]David_Vaz[/MENTION] and must say, I'm pretty impressed!

No screen flickering or call issues anymore!​

Check out my experience HERE !!! ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Calvat:
I still had the screen flickering issue when I installed it just now. Same thing as my previous post exactly, actually.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] :
This screen issue seems to be strange. It occurs variously through different ROMs/builds and semms to sometimes work and sometimes not..

Has Sony ne tried the official 12.1 yet? Are there and issues fixed?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] meinnameisthase:
Today's official 12.1 seems to run very smooth. However, the glitches are still the same. Wondering when speaker-in-call-issue will be fixed. Haven't had any other call issues.

Can't wait to see a workin' FXP 12.1 release soon with 3.10 kernel...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] supermanlovers:
my gapps crashes all the time.

Which version of 5.1 do you use?

I tried this one http://xdaforums.com/android/software/reborn-gapps-5-t3074660

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] supermanlovers:
i tried this

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps

put it still crash all the time

i will try your link.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Calvat:
Two questions.

1) Is the link in OP going to now only feature 12.1 since it's come out, or will it feature both now?

2) How do I edit the avatar/image/picture for my profile in the User settings? ("Owner" of the phone).

You used to be able to just tap it and it'll let you change in CM11, but it doesn't now.

--- Edit:

Also I found for the 'gapps' and others crashing (android.proccess for example), the only way to fix this is will a factory reset and then Clear Cache, install Gapps/ROM. Which sadly means redownloading all your apps and stuff from scratch - though when doing this, CM keeps most of the system settings.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] meinnameisthase:
I assume there will be only 12.1 (which is running great in my opinion).

You still should be able to run titanium backup even with spps crashing. It's hard though to be fast enough to start the backup during the app-crash breaks ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] flintfirewalker:
The cast screen switch in the notification toggle does not locate my chromecast. This seems to be an OS problem since my chromecast app does locate my chromecast and I'm able to cast the screen of my phone. Is anybody else facing this issue? Has anybody figured out how to fix this problem or is this an OS problem that we are all dealing with?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] wingsfortheirsmiles:
To question 2, to do this setup or amend your user profile in the Contacts app.

On gapps I'm using mirrors of the old pa gapps, no problems here. I got an error message when I tried to use a different set as well as a bloatware removal script though.

Hey i'm pretty new to android and i install 2 day ago cm-12.1-20150423-NIGHTLY-z3c. There is some bug but its a pretty nice os! But i was wondering why i dont get the nightly update, the cm-12.1-20150425-NIGHTLY-z3c has been realase and when i go in about the phone/ Cyanogenmod update, i got no update available. Is there an other way to proceed? Thx!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Amr Nasser:

Does the speaker in call issue fixed in CM 12.1 ??

Encountered a bug where the battery light would continue pulsing green even with my phone being off. No notification light is set to this color, but battery light is for a full charge - except it wasn't a full charge.

sound issue - reducing automatically audio level

i'M now on newest 2015-05-02 CM12.1

but i still have sound issues

as far as i remember i hadnot this issues with previous version (eg: 26.04.2015 CM12.1)

if i play a sound, it will reduce automatically the level.

in audio mixer, still it is visible as 100%, but it reduce the loudness automatically.... hmm strange

it is like autogain ... but haven't found any hint to diaable it without completely hack the MSM libs.

any ideas ? or any others which are having this issue ?

Maybe it will be help if you change from NuPlayer to AwesomePlayer (developer settings).
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] camro:
Also tried. But the problem is not the Player.

The problem seems to be on acdb layer. Maybe possible to find a workaround with mixer_paths.xml

But have no idea for now :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Calvat:
I got the audio issue now too, except with my alarm clock. It starts off on regular/set volume for the first 3~5 seconds and then goes quiet.

Edit: I get this with the default music player now too. It's not the volume rocker/settings since they're full when it goes quiet.

Edit #2: CM 505 has this issue as well, and this is coming from 503.

Edit #3: The screen flickering problem is fixed now by the way, not sure when but tested it now. Rejoice! I can now have my screen on comfortable levels of brightness without it bleeding my eyes.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] XDAfj56:
I'm currently at the stage where you are supposed to boot into recovery mode after fastbooting the boot.img and the phone is "white/grey", basically screen is on but there's nothing there. Unfortunately I unplugged it (but no process was there, it was waiting for me to go into recovery mode) but what do I do now?

Nevermind, I performed a hard reset and then I could continue.

latest CM12 Nightly (NOT CM12.1)

Hi@all,

does anyone have the latest CM12 Nightly? The file cm-12-20150422-NIGHTLY-z3c.zip isn't available for download anymore, but I need it because of Xposed, which isn't available for CM12.1 yet (apart from an unofficial super alpha version).

If someone has the file, it would be nice to make it available for me. :)

Hi everybody,

I'm coming from Z1 compact CM12 Topic, and I bought a Z3 compact 2 days ago. I just put CM12.1 on it yesterday and I'm afraid about all the issues encountered!

I can't perform a call unless having my ear bleeding (the sound is sometimes very LOUD, sometimes so weak), it's very weird. I have an other bug, I can't reboot my phone. When I select this option, the device shutdowns.

So I'm asking myself to keep my good old Z1C on latest CM12.1 and use it, because it doesn't have bug anymore for long time ago.

I scrolled the thread and I seen that lot of users have problems too. Is there some fix known today for theses issues?

Cheers
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] PherChe:
is it only for stock ROM?

Hi guys, sorry for my probably dumb question but I got my first Android device a couple weeks ago and everything is pretty new to me. I would like to flash my Z3C with Cyanogenmod but I'm kinda scared to do so because of the warranty. If I flash my phone, do I keep it?

I saw the thread to backup the DRM files and I didn't understand much (French here, bear with me!). Is it safer to follow the instructions there (http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/general/how-to-root-backup-drm-keys-t3013343) and then install Cyanogenmod?

Thanks a lot!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] dpk3:
That's what I used and it worked for me. Just remember to boot into the recovery there are some other instructions at the end of that thread that you need to follow. As for keeping you warranty...I'm no expert but from what I gather...once you have your drm keys backed up you can just reflash your stock Rom with the drm keys and you will be fine to get the phone replaced using the warranty.

Hi got a question.. Everytime i m playing music it stops working after a while and goes on pause by itself.. Whilebusing headphones.. Is this my phones problem or is it a bug? I m using spotify and tried different headphones.. (all with pause buttons on cord) anyone else the same problem?

I had that bug too on my Xperia Z with validus rom(cm based), so I guess there is a problem. I mean I read there is a fix for this, but I don't remember what it was.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] PAGOT:
Sorry for the kinda OT. But did CM had its own sound issues and this was only specific to CM?

There is many ppl that have static noise in calls over at the original FW and I wanted to know if this was something that SONY forgot to include as well, or just CM. My hope being, it is indeed SONY that messed up and it could get fixed via the same way as the CM did.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] gibihr:
I can confirm the issue, try to take a picture of something like a door or a street light... Curved! That's not a hardware issue, if you go back to stock, pictures are normal

Edit : I have been doing some research and it seems to be caused by the wide angle Camera on our z3c. This is usually firmware fixed, so I guess the fix is inside Sony 's sources for lollipop. There are people talking about this on z3 threads, I think the problem is identical
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] x1123:
This what I saw hundreds times, a user wanna to poke, play and screw with their devices and worrying the "warranty". Once you register into XDA Forum or other "Hack" forum, you must make your self ready to break or brick your device. It is NOT FAIR you play around, tweaked, flashed your devices and Ask Vendor to responsible if "something bad" happened. We learned a lot of thinks from this forum with our lovely devices. Must be some "cost" to pay. Many of Vendor will against forum like XDA if the user brought the "responsibility" to Vendor. We did we must responsible our self. You brick your devices, don't cry .... it is an alert You need to learn more and more.

One of the past nightlies definitely did worsen the battery life, but I can confirm that on 2015 05 16 nightly (I'm still on this one) it's fixed, my phone now lasts more than two days, I can even say it's better than stock rom.

How is the perfomance of cm12.1 compared to the stock ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Carach_CZ:
Battery life is average, about 80% of the stock. Which is still very good. Im using current **519. nightly. But i met some bugs already. lockscreen says "no service..." but i have a signal (sometimes with "!) but working). Sometimes i have issues in connecting to WiFi, its arguably stability etc. But nothing really annoying, noting what makes CM for Z3c unusable. Quite opposite; ROm is fast, quite stable etc. I like it, to be honest. Im awaiting that every nightly will make this ROM better. :)

But when Sony release Android 5.1, ill switch back to custom ROM based on Sony firmware. Maybe. :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] roberth1990:
Battery life dramaticly improved for me in 0515 and has stayed that way, ATM I am on 0519. I am using it on balanced.
