Did anyone successfully restore app and system settings (especially wifi passwords) using the "Get Your Apps & Data" step in the set-up wizard?

When I upgraded, I got the "Tap & Go" restore screen, but not the "Get Your Apps & Data" screen...

Works on lollipop. Ran this on mine and my Titanium started backing up fine.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] hispanico957:
Thank.... but in anyway Titanium make backup on internal card ?

Strange with Lollipop all app can write on external card, you have installed Busybox ?

Thank

Thank for informations... you have flash generic firmware pre-rooted and select full wipi o only wipe cache in recovery ??

Thank

Hispa
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Poag:
No i flashed the pre rooted and did nothing else.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] hispanico957:
....sure without any wipe ??

Hispa
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] _katho_:
Yes, at least for me.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] kind3r:
Worked for me.

Did you sign in with the same Google account ?

Was this option active before (perhaps if there is no backup available it does not appear) ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] silasdm:
Problem is that I added my google account after going trough the set-up wizard. This created a new backup from my lollipop system and I can only restore from that. The "Get Your Apps & Data" screen should allow to choose from which backup I can restore (e.g. a kitkat backup). But I don't get this choice...

Is there a method to force it to restore from another backup? (I can still see older backups in my Google Dashboard)

i have a so-02g ntt docomo z3c.

i flashed 5.0.2 lollipop rom for d5803 without wiping data

everything is perfect, but if i switch 3g to wifi, wifi and 3g icon will both show unless i turn off mobile data , and i'm quite sure it's draining battery.

just tried a flash after full wipe

still have the issue
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] J-_-M-_-C:
Same thing happens on mine with 3G and wifi icons both appearing. Mine is D5803 though.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] _katho_:
Why would it drain battery due to an icon?

Check Data Usage to know.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] kind3r:
Android Device Manager does not work for me, anyone else ?

I tried a possible fix (http://www.inspyreit.com/2013/08/fix-for-no-active-devices-error-in-android-device-manager/) but it nothing happend.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] defia:
when the icon shows, check the battery report, click into mobile signal(i'm not sure its english name), the mobile data used timer is growing even in wifi.

if i disable mobile data and re-enable it,the icon disappeared, and the timer stopped.

it's definitely not the indicator in some rom to remind you which mobile network do you have now when you are using wifi.

Has anyone set up an Exchange account in Gmail on Lollipop?

I installed the latest Google Exchange Services from APKMirror, but I when I set up the account and try to sync Exchange Services crashes. It worked flawlessly on KK.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] KoxxBoxx:
Can confirm. ES Flie Explorer crashes here as well. Tried clearing cache and reinstalling the app but it didn't solve the issue.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Sadman Khan:
Nordic
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] lgrangeia:
I also had that problem. Install an older version of the apk. The previous apk works fine here.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] joaomateus:
I tried to do the same here, but no success. I also noticed that when I installed the 6.5 version, it didn't replace the system app. Maybe Sony will release an update later?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] blazcimpe:
I now installed Google Exchange Services 6.5-1533254 (an older version) as lgrangeia suggested and it works.

Thank you!

I have just installed 5.0.2 Nordic Combined and I have a serious issue: google play is hanging every two seconds so I can't install any app :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] clouds5:
Big thanks to all you guys testing and reporting on 5.02 for our beloved Z3c!

With all the information we have I think I'm gonna wait for 5.1 though. It seems like a trade off to me. Some stuff got better (animations, notifications etc) some stuff got worse (compatibility, lookscreen widgets, xposed, recovery etc). Not a bad trade off but still a trade off not really worth it for me atm. Especially since my phone with .98 Kitkat is just perfect right now. 0 issues.

For me there is no "big thing" that I'm looking forward to with Lollipop. Its mostly just eyecandy, which is nice - dont get me wrong - but not really necessary. Or am I missing something?

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] cyphomatic:
So far impressions are OK!

Couldn't wait for 5.1 :)

Confirmed not working:

- Extreme torch mod (workaround possible)

- Viper4android

- Beast audio mod

- Recovery

- Every mod to disable charging LED

Working:

- Root :)

- Tap2wake

Bugs: none so far

If you want xposed framework (alpha), you need to flash it right after the stock rom.

Since you lose recovery, xposed for lollipop is only availible by recovery.

1st Impressions:

- Great stock rom with a better lollipop experience (for example changable quicksettings).

- Pitty of the camera (app) wich is exactly the same as before.

- Bloatware is exactly the same as previous versions.

- STABLE!

- For the past 24h, the same battery life as before.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] JCBomb:
Keep holding the volume down button until it starts the flashing process.

Anyone have any problems with lockscreen notifications not showing up at all? Happening to someone I know.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] arj154:
So has anyone actually found any bugs with the new lollipop update? From what I can tell theres a small bug with the 3g icon appearing a bit too much to the right but it seems like a solid update.

Also does the nordic Rom have the same radio's as the uk rom or would it be optimised for nordic carriers?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] krugu:
Try to reinstall the drivers on Pc
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] SirRobin78:
As far as i can see the Video Unlimited App is gone after update. I´ve no chance to buy new videos :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] yokuyuki:
I noticed that tapping on the alarm text to the right of the time in notifications does nothing even though the animation implies it should take you to the alarm settings.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] antonio.talamo:
there is a kind of problem with guest user :( (I actually use baltic rom)

after using guest user, and returning to main user, there is a battery drain caused by guest user process.

In battery stats you can see the voice "guest user". By tapping on it, you can have a detail of process that still running (and drain battery), despite that you have still removed guest user.

That process can't be killed, you have to restart the phone
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] :
Noticed same problem. Could it be its not available in the nordic fw?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] yokuyuki:
Isn't it supposed to be pretty generic? I'm on baltic fw apparently though.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ProQuiz:
Bump! :(

Sorry, I'm an Android noob.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] :
Dont bump your off topic questions. Wrong forum.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] hispanico957:
Just an simple explanation regarding Xposed. If you flash Lollipo update, also including Root, all know the we lose recovery.

So i think that it's impossibile flash xposed framework because for it we must flash a alpha2.zip from recovery...

So when you said: "...you need to flash it right after the stock rom...." without recovery it's impossible ?!? or i am wrong ?

Thank

Hispa
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] seXneo:
Yes, Sony didn't change the link to their clock app. But good for me. I like the AOSP clock better. You can get it here:

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/clock/

After installing that the alarm text will be clickable and bring you to the clock app.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] cyphomatic:
After flashing rom, you are still in recovery right? Before booting I would try flashing xposed..
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] yokuyuki:
Oh sweet. Does it replace the Sony clock app? And does it work in ultra stamina mode?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] hispanico957:
YESSSSSSS and in this way xposed framework install and run without problem ?

Thank again

Hispa

P.S:

Just a curiosity you flash with full wipe or only wipe cache and dawilk ??
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] sravanz:
i am not getting heads up notification for texts or anything. Am i missing something? Do i need to enable anything?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] MGuDiM:
Viper4Android works perfectly for me. (You need to install SELinuxModeChanger and change mode to permissive, then install the viper driver)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] echoboomer:
It will work in stamina mode if you add it to the App exception list. Make sure you do this before using the new clock!!! I know from experience it's a bad idea to switch clocks without doing this... very late to work one day :silly:
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] yokuyuki:
Ah, but you can't change the exception list for ultra stamina mode so I guess it won't work in that mode.

---------- Post added at 03:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 PM ----------

Installed it and it didn't work for me. Clicking on alarm text still goes nowhere.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] joaomateus:
Did anyone notice changes in white balance? For me, the screen colors seem to be a lot better...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] seXneo:
After installing the clock just reboot your device.

Edit: Seems you should not have any alarm set by Sony Alarm&Clock app.

I just tried the whole process again:

Uninstalled the clock app. -> Link is not working

Installed the clock app. -> Link still not working

Rebooted my phone. -> Link is working now and links directly to the alarm tab

anyone got those bugs or just me ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Foxhunter123:
Does anyone know how to start the cameraapp without any melody playing...? (using the dedicated camera button)

(I also need to find how to close all apps with one press - and YES it is needed as eg. Lifelog sometimes CANNOT update before all apps are closed and this is also the case with other apps like Instagram, Facebook).

Dare I say that the auto brightness is also gone...? (WHY???) :confused:
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] oettaM23:
I don't use track is so I don't know.

For data, if I understood what you mean, you can enable /disable them from Settings > Data usage
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] joaomateus:
You can activate auto brightness in Settings > Display > Adptive Brightness
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] hispanico957:
Yes dont have Custom Recovery is bad, but not have the ability to install Xposed Framework even more, for the many customizations that I could have more. Then read, ask and test and here's how I did it to get Lollipop, Root and Xposed.

A) Build file with firmware and root (with PRFCreator)

B) Put the zip thus created on the phone's internal memory

C) On the same i put also file xposed-arm-20150308.zip (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3034811)

D) Reboot in Recovery

E) Select wipe cache and dalwik

F) Did flash Firmware

G) At this point always from Recovery flash file xposed-arm-20150308.zip

H) Again wipe cache and dalwik

I) Reboot system and waiting system updatae

L) Verify if all run and i installed il file XposedInstaller_3.0-alpha2.apk to activate l'exposed framework

:)

Update to LolliPop, with previous settings, app, root e xposed

:)

Hispanico
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] _katho_:
As you don't have recovery (atm) can you update xposed (when updates released) from within xposed in the meanwhile? Or are you stuck with the one flashed?

/rooted lollipop. :)

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] tribemac:
You're stucked with the one you flashed. But a working recovery doesn't seem to be to far away so wouldn't be a problem.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] QBerto:
So, here quoting my own post for day two

I can confirm the radio bug, and it sucks, this needs a quick update to solve, every time I turn on the screen the sound stop playing (but not working), is SO annoying, need ppl to say this is just an error for me (so I flash again) or is a bug for all.

And for now I find a new "bug", when you set the lockscreen to pattern, pin or password, u can't go back to swipe to unlock, because "disabled by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage" wich is absurd (Xperia E1 has this bug too). As a note, when u set one of this unlock methods, the Smart Lock appears in Settings>Security.

And the last for today, I think the stereo speakers are a little louder.... a little, but need to confirm with a KK Z3c...

No battery usage for today, forgot to charge last night and have to charge at work xD
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] b_boy_9x:
after reading all of your posts here, I decide to keep waiting more stable version & can be rooted, use xposed. The main function I need most is double tap status bar to lock :p
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] jerichoo:
You can use nova launcher for this
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Sichroteph:
So far I like a lot this rom, but I can't really compare since I moved from the z1 compact yesterday [emoji1]

Can you please help me on this print screen?

I always have an icon on my status bar (a round with a line, like a stop sign)

Can you tell me what is it? And maybe how I can remove it?

You have silent mode on.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] 1Chef:
That's no notifications, Google changed how notifications work in lollipop and you have non (no access sign) priority (star sign) and all so either the vibrate icon or no icon. With non no notifications will go off not even alarms (clever I know. To change hit volume up then tap silent , priority or sound. anyway enjoy lollipop :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Sichroteph:
Thanks for your answers. Great community here. I guess I'll wait for xposed to remove this icon since I am always in silent mode thanks to the Pebble.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] xedonis:
Is it just me, or doesn't the stamina-mode work as it did in KitKat? I (usually) always keep stamina-mode on, with WIFI off when the screen is off. I loved this feature as it saved my battery with the benefit of disabling distractions while I was at work, but still alerted me to calls and sms.

After updating to 5.0.2, WIFI is always on, as confirmed by the battery stats and notifications I receive from snapchat and messenger while the screen is off. Anyone else have the same issue?

Already posted this in the Z3 section, just thought i would also ask here.

When typing and you type the one letter in the middle of the word wrong and you want to correct it, you short tap on that place and blinking bar goes to the end of the word. I tap once again in the middle and it kicks me back to the end of the word again. I do it once again and only then it stays on that place so i can delete wanted letter and correct it.

Has anyone noticed that?

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] QBerto:
Third day... this is failing so hard xD

The radio bug is related to google play services, I was trying to disable pattern to unlock without any luck and I disabled Google Play Services, after that plugged my NC headphones and the radio start playing when screen off. After an hour I noticed I was not logged in google and when I did it, the radio again stop playing (but working) when screen is on. Anyone with this bug?

BTW after that the 6.XXX version of google play services was draining battery all day with data usage and GPS.... but still make it to get home with 15% battery (leave home 14h before with 91%), but is solved now I think.

And, I found another bug, when u turn off Ultra Stamina Mode, all your disable apps will be enabled again

I upgrade to LolliPop with pre-rooted firmware, but after the update busybox not more active and every time i try to install module, i receive:

It look like the installation of Busybox was not successful.

Try installing to a different location that may resolve the issue

Someone can give a suggestion ???

...and seem like external memory is not writ e!?

5.0.2 Observations

I updated my phone using the FTF's for the Baltic version (mine was already a "UK" phone).

Some observations:

In general, everything is snappier/faster (including launching the camera)

The 5.0.2 home screen delay bug still exists in this FW

Audio playback apps (Google Play Music, Audible, Pocketcasts) no longer get killed when paused (WOO!!!)

Exchange ActiveSync is now a supported Email profile (again WOO!!! I can use this phone for work again!)

Battery life seems to be noticeably improved

Bluetooth unlock and "Move to SD card" for apps are killer on this phone (mostly because of the 16GB of storage)

Homescreen delay bug - This happened on my N7 and N10 also, prior to getting the 5.1 update. When pressing the home button, sometimes there was a slightly delay in rendering the home screen. The home screen background pops up, then the icons come in, then the widgets. This is over the course of a second or so. Quite annoying, but still usable. This seems to happen only when the device has not been rebooted for a while (2-3 days). Since the update has been out for a few days now, I'm only just now starting to notice this.

A note on battery life - I use Runkeeper every day on my walk to and from work (about 45 minutes). I travel the exact same path at approximately the same time of day. These are all also while wearing an Android Wear device (Moto360). Here is my power use during my commute:

Battery usage was previously:

8-10% without listening to music

10-12% while listening to music (standard headphones)

14-15% while listening to music with MDR-NC31E headphones (Sony noise cancelling)

With Lollipop update:

4-5% without listening to music

5-6% while listening to music (standard headphones)

9-10% while listening to music with MDR-NC31E headphones (Sony noise cancelling)

Overall, this has been a HUGE improvement in usability of the phone. Bluetooth unlock was the key missing feature that had me bouncing between a 2013 Moto X and my Z3c. With battery usage being generally better and "Move to SD Card" for many apps, I'm really liking this update.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] scottjb:
Priority mode suppresses all forms of notification, including the LED. I don't know if there is a work around.

Hi all, is the backup & restore app still present in lollipop? I would like to upgrade but haven't rooted my device (so can't use titanium) but don't want to lose anything important and I feel it would be good to wipe the device.
