Kinda useless if you ask me. I think it's some kind of distribution algorithms, not sure though. And as I have read, for most Regions when you have LTE it shows LTE but in other regions (like the Nordic im using) it shows 4G.

I'm more interested of camera improvements and battery improvements. Anyone here? I am still waiting for a working recovery in Z3 and Z3 tablet compact before diving in the Lollipop party.:)
[Xperia Z3 General] dj_richard05:
I faced two issues after updating.

1. My music has some glitches when played through headphones just like we had the same on the xperia z KitKat firmware when released first. It works smoothly but then suddenly u can hear a slight glitch and that's a lil annoying.

2. Like in KitKat in quick settings when long pressed on WiFi or BT it would give a settings option. Well this is not present in lollipop so now to change from 3G to 2G you have to go through the original settings menu and so on which is a bit of a hassle when your used to it by the original method.

Rest I'm pretty happy with the update.
[Xperia Z3 General] lee480:
This isn't a bug. It's how Lollipop works. But for Wifi and BT, click on the text, not the image icon, you will jump to the settings. Doesn't work for others though.

Alternatively, from the quick toggle, add the network change toggle quick settings. Can easily change network mode.

Small summary:

LP is running really fluid and errorfree.

Nice animations and stuff.

BUT:

No Location based wifi.

No lockscreen controls for music (pin)

SearchBar in recents can't be deactivated. (at least didn't find out how)

Catlog shows a lot of weird stuff and a lot of background activity.
[Xperia Z3 General] userguy:
So for those of you who have LP installed how is your battery life compared to kitkat? I mean if you do not have any battery drain problems due to misbehaving apps. How much did your screen on time change?
[Xperia Z3 General] jiujitiancai:
My problem is cell standby. Any solution?
[Xperia Z3 General] lyubor:
My Z3 is doing quite well compared to some of the people in this thread. Google Play services isn't in the top 2 apps draining battery and almost always under 8-9%.

Apart from that battery's slightly better than kitkat.

My one and biggest gripe with LP is how the status bar turns blue in chrome, whatsapp etc. basically where it should be black.
[Xperia Z3 General] dedei:
I'm also suffering from high standby drain :( even a factory reset couldn't fix it
[Xperia Z3 General] user91:
Change the theme to White in Settings under Personalisation. The status bar will be turning greyish instead, IMHO much better than the bright blue colour.
[Xperia Z3 General] lyubor:
I have no idea what they were thinking with status bar colors outside themed apps. Also orange accents in quick settings? I was hoping it was just the orange theme at work when I first saw it. Can't wait till a theme is made to make ot lollipop colour..
[Xperia Z3 General] Aronuser:
Well on Samsung (probably also on Sony) phones, if you flash a foreign stock firmware it might happen that you get a different modem as what would be used in the firmware for your country afaik.

This could also mean a higher battery drain with a wrong modem afaik.

[MENTION=6101648]owid408[/MENTION] what could also improve with a proper modem is reception.

[Xperia Z3 General] cheetah2k:
3 issues

1. My Z3 for some reason woke up at 5am this morning and the screen remained on for 2+hours. When I got to work I noticed the battery % was at 75% and a screen on time logged of 2hrs 43 min.. Not sure what that's about??

2. On the lock screen and others, for some reason the phone cannot locate the "Carrier" name (in my case Vodafone in Australia) so it displays "No Service" even though I have full service...

3. It would not update the Walkman app by itself - the install kept failing, until I manually updated it through the Walkman app menus..
[Xperia Z3 General] Kearkan:
Running Baltic's version on 6653 here in Australia (Telstra)

So far I'm impressed, everything is nice and snappy, I haven't noticed any battery drain yet (although I only updated last night before going to bed)

A few problems do stand out but

1) it appears they changed how the quick settings work in stock lollipop. Changing a toggle setting in settings app no longer makes a quick toggle for you. Wouldn't be so bad except that there is no quick setting to choose for adaptive brightness, and it has been removed from the brightness slider. Quite annoying as I often switched it on and off depending on if I'm inside or outside (inside I find it keeps the screen unnecessarily bright)

2) the carrier name issue cheetah2k mentioned. Oddly last night it showed Telstra but then this morning it shows no service.

3) in areas where I have weak LTE reception (0 white sectiobs on the icon) and strong 3g (full bars), the phone tends to try and stick to 4g, I may be wrong but pretty sure this would cause battery drain, I'm also pretty sure 4g reception is generally lower than it was before, this may be to do with localization, I plan to flash a local version when available.

4) No location based WiFi, as a few people have mentioned.

5) charging seems fine, but I did notice my car charger doesn't charge anywhere near as fast as it used to, where it used to charge slowly, now In a 2 hour drive with GPS and screen on the whole way the battery level just stayed the same.

Overall very happy, and pretty sure most of these problems will clear up with localized radio. The charger one isn't such a big issue except that maybe it points to a different issue?

Phones always stay on 100% for a little bit. This is not science exact. The point is, that with stamina on and no apps added to the exclusion list, the phone did an excellent job to keep things on idle while shut.
[Xperia Z3 General] vittogn:
Understood your point. Good test but very far from what I ask to my smartphone!

Inviato dal mio D6603 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Xperia Z3 General] bartolo5:
Actually having your phone not drain any battery when its locked is vital.

My Nexus 4 would drop 20% per hour when locked! And most Android phones I've had are crap with their stock firmware in this respect. You'll start the day full, and even without touching the phone battery is down a lot in the middle of the day. When you install lots of apps they are all chatting in the background and waking your phone up for useless data sync or what not.
[Xperia Z3 General] Krokogator:
Maybe it's not a bug, but compared to kitkat my phone is killing my apps pretty aggressively. Multitasking is now more like "crappy note 4" which i had owned month ago. After i bought z3 i was amazed how f**** amazing multitask tool android can be. Now I'm confused because all in all lollipop is pretty sweet, i like the new notification bar and overall smoothness but I miss old good multitasking (interesting is the fact that there's plenty of free ram just like on kitkat... )
[Xperia Z3 General] Cozmos23:
U miss the point, there is ram available not free. Usually your ram is full.
[Xperia Z3 General] smartphone250:
I've the same impression! I read in some other thread that there was a memory leak bug... maybe 5.0.2 is still affected.
[Xperia Z3 General] realfelix:
Yes, the memory leak is still present in 5.0.2. Not everyone is affected though.

Btw, Memory Leak = Apps crashing and restarting although there is plenty of RAM to use. Check your running apps for any apps restarting every now and then ;)
[Xperia Z3 General] Kearkan:
For some reason since flashing the baltics version root is being weird.

Firstly it seems recovery is gone (tools jut restarts phone)

And when I try to use root browser on es I simply get 'test failed' I also can not set up gsam root companion because it can't get access to system/priv-app

Oddly, things like BBS do work properly.

Does anyone know of a way to fix this without downgrading again to reinstall recovery?

Okay I don't know what you mean. I constantly muti-task on the phone: Poweramp for music, Chrome for copying info from sites, Gmail for composing & Snapchat for chatting. And so far I am loving it. ART seems to have an impressive cache and does not kill my apps at all. Do you have any memory cleaner or something? Or are you trying to multitask with a heavy app? Like a game maybe?

That's right. Agreed.

[Xperia Z3 General] vittogn:
Hi all,

I did quite an extreme test: wifi only, 2G (with good coverage), very low brightness, the most of SOT time was reading a book, "week end type" of push messages (much lower than a regular working day).

Results are impressive!!!!

If I compare it with working 3G day (where I get 3.5-4 hrs max SOT - 20% residual battery @ 9pm) I can come to the conclusion that the Z3 (regardless of lollipop) suffers that much using 3G vs Wifi. Comparing it with other battery life champion (LG G2 and OnePlus One), the Z3 is way better on Wifi but much worse on 3G.
[Xperia Z3 General] Cozmos23:
When u disable wifi while on 3G your battery life should improve.

On mostly 3G I get 6h + sot with autosync off and auto brightness.

I noticed that Lollipop deactivates 3g automatically while connected to wifi.
[Xperia Z3 General] Boxland:
I did a factory restore, and now it works. Thanks.

I have a 6653 on Baltic. Battery life is incredible. I've never had a phone that lasts 8 hrs SOT on LTE. It's also super fast and responsive. Way better than my Nexus 5 and M7. Using greenify and running a couple messaging apps and 2 Google accounts on sync. I'm on LTE for 80% of the day too. Only on WiFi at home.
[Xperia Z3 General] Cozmos23:
Didn't know that mobile data has been switched off while on wifi before LP.

Noticed it first on Lollipop because the data switch was off while connected which wasn't present on Kitkat afaik.

So my tasker task to switch off mobile data while connected to wifi was pretty much useless the last years [emoji14]

Cannot test LP now, using the Moonbreakers Rom 2.4 atm and the S4 is being repaired.

Sry for the confusion.
[Xperia Z3 General] vittogn:
That's impressive! I envy you. And you also streamed stuff from Spotify.

If I get to LTE the phone is constantly warm and I can't score anything above 3hrs SOT.

Can you please post your details battery stats screen, just too see how your signal strength was any how your phone sleeps?

Thanks.

Bluetooth keep the phone always ON - No deep sleep

I have unfortunately to report that the "

never sleep BT bug

" has not been corrected in Lollipop (present also in KK).

All the details can be found here.

Here are my findings:

Are you experiencing the following Kernel wakelocks on your phone?

msm_serial_hs_dma

BTLowPower

It happens both with an LG G Watch R (5.0.2) and a regular BT headset.

If we take the second device, I do expect a Kernel wakelock while speaking or streaming music. The phone is active any way while performing this task.

What is strange is that even if there is no activity the wakelocks avoid deep sleep.

What is strange is that if I move away from the headset (and the BT icon goes the "non connected" status), the wakelocks are always there.

The effect is that my phone (both on 4.4.4 and 5.0.2) almost never ever sleeps, and sometimes get warm.

If I switch BT off, everything goes back to normal.

I did a further test, in the below sequence:

- BT ON + connected to a Plantronics headset => wakelock + device always on

- BT ON + disconnected to a Plantronics headset => wakelock + device always on

- BT OFF + disconnected to a Plantronics headset => no wakelock + device sleep

- BT ON + disconnected to a Plantronics headset => wakelock + device always on

Any solution?

I'm rooted, so I can do further tests researches (I'm using BBS to spot the wakelock).

Is it possible that this is an hardware problem? I'm asking as it looks like I'm the only one with this issue!

This thing is driving me crazy!!!!

Whenever I go into the Service menu by dialing *#*#7378423#*#* and selecting Service Settings when the Service menu pops up, it says "Unfortunately, Service Menu has stopped." I've found this a better way to force 4G cause my signal strength here is weak and I have no option to force it now..

I'm very underwhelmed by the battery life with Lollipop. Nothing is draining it, ikt simply sucks. I have turned off Google now andfollowed other advice from this thread with no avail. I really is a shame because I'm loving it but will flash KK back if it continues to underwhelm me.
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
My first observations... Rooted ".690 Nordic" works pretty well and stable. Subjectively faster run. Slightly higher score in AnTuTu and 3D Mark.

But booting twice longer vs. KK and couple missing features like headphones settings in audio or location based WiFi in Stamina mode. But battery life got even more insane. On KK I had more or less one and half day on battery now with Lollipop two days and couple of hours.
[Xperia Z3 General] MarkMRL:
What do you mean with missing headphone settings?
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
There was a selection of Sony headphones to choose from in Audio Settings. It optimized sound settings for particular Sony headphone models.

Oh, that. I never used it because I have my own set of headphones and none of them is Sony (or benefits from audio settings other than some slight eq), but I wonder why they removed it. probably a few people used it.
