I still haven't updated to lollipop because I really don't like the design :/

I was wondering if you could still stay with KK would you still update to lollipop? thanks :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] xg4m3-:
No way. KK is miles ahead of this. This is the stripped down version of KK, nothing more.

They even managed to ruin the clock. The KK version of it was so stylish and now is just a normal clock :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] k o v a l:
I'm seriously tired of Sony's LP. At first it was quite ok, small bugs here and there, but same with KK. But after a while, this software is just awful - battery life dropped after 2 weeks to 2 days from 4, you can't normally silent your phone while listening to music - no switch in shortcuts and changing media volume doesn't show those options. Sony had great bluettoth unlock in 4.4, working witch smartband swr10. In lollipop they dropped this function because of smart unlock from google - which does'nt support this device fully. There was a walkaround for this, but with the very latest update (.726) it's even worse - for some reason you need to unlock normally for the first time, than the device is being kept unlocked all the time. And sadly you still can't turn off pattern unlock after you've set it once. I really don't like b*tching about stuff, but really, Sony is getting worse and worse with every try to better themself up. Get your sh*t tgther Sony!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Sadman Khan:
You can turn off pattern lock. Settings>Security>Clear Credentials and then you can change the lock. You can view the credentials first and then clear it if it doesn't work for you the first time

Lollipop 5.0.2

Just loaded onto pc via sony companion. Then onto phone.

Phew, everything looked all over the place, lots of new exciting stuff to work out.

After an hour, i figured out most of how the new stuff works.

Its fast and i feel lucky, no problems with anything at the moment.

We compared to Iphone 5s and Samsung 5 and i think Sony Z3 Compact can compete with these top phones.

This is the best phone i have owned, and hope all goes well.

I dont expect problems, but i am a realist and i do understand that things can go wrong. I will deal with it when and if it happens.

As long as the phone works, i am fine with it
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ewans:
Don't know if anyone can help - I use the phone in the dock as a desk clock and alarm, prior ro rhe upgrade when it went off there was a big round circle which appeared to snooze the alarm. Since the lollipop update, there is now a dropdown notification you have to tap first, which is a pain when you're half asleep. I've had a good fiddle with notification settings but can't seem to get the old behaviour back, anyone found a solution?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] istux:
I would say that z3 compact can compete with iPhone 6 as well, not only 5s...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] scottjb:
I don't know about the drop down notification you referred to, I don't see that when my alarm sounds. However, you can set the volume button to snooze the alarm and not even worry about looking at the display or tapping the drop down.

Hotspot issue

Hi guys anybody got wi-fi hotspot not working after lollipop? I am able to connect to the smartphone but unable to actually use internet on the other device.

Any advice here?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] kitch9:
I'm guessing that those complaining about battery life are using stamina mode?

Turn it off including data queuing, it plays havoc with some apps, including some of Sonys so stuff gets left on / crashes / bugs out in the background which makes the phone get warm and sucks the battery.

Battery life with it off is better than kk with it on and everything works snappy like it should with no buggy anomalies.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] scottjb:
WiFi hotspot is working fine for me on Lollipop.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] RazvanZ3c:
Hi,

I also have the behavior with the heat especially when charging and mobile data is active....If i charge when wifi is active there is no warm at all

I think also the statistic is very bad in Lollipop....but this comes from Android...and not from Sony.....one friend of mine has Nexus 5 and power management reporting really sux

I have Customized Ukraine D5803 .726

I really hope to get a fix for solving the heating issue when charging with mobile data ON

Same for me.

The phone sleeps well and it is very cold while the screen is off on 3G.

When I use it it gets prettiest warm {no gaming} and Chrome is high in battery consumption.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] sumon511:
how much screen on time you get in a single charge,also whats your usage( mobile data/wifi /4g /gps etc.). because I'm really having very bad SOT.not more than 3h with wi fi on,3g (no mobile data),location disabled and no gaming.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] kitch9:
Turn off stamina and data queuing. Battery life is great. Stamina causes battery drain, heat and buggy apps.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] BarajaVLC:
Not in my experience. My Z3C hasn't overheated or had a battery drain using stamina mode since I got it last October :confused:
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] vittogn:
3.5-4 hrs SOT

70% 3G - 30% wifi

Location in battery save

No gaming

---------- Post added at 09:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 AM ----------

I'll try even if I think that in my case it will not give great results.

My phone is warm only when the screen is off and I do not have any buggy apps.

I'll try anyway.

Tx.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] kitch9:
Stamina and data queuing causes the phone to get warm with the screen off. If the phone is warm a process is locked, this stops when stamina if off.

---------- Post added at 09:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 AM ----------

It didn't for me with KitKat, this only started with Lollipop. With stamina on the phone was getting warm in my pocket and would lose around 60% charge in around 4-5 hours.

I have since turned stamina off and queuing off and I went to bed last night after a full day and 4 hours SOT with around 35% left. All radios including 4g were on.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] vittogn:
So definitely my phone (give the combination of apps installed and my usage) is not affected by this issue.

When the screen if off the phone quickly goes to "icy cold mode"!!

---------- Post added at 10:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 AM ----------

My suggestion is always to state "in my experience" and/or "with my usage".....unless you are a dev. or if you have rocket science behind.

It is likely that you have an app(s) that get crazy with stamina.

Turn it off may be the solution for you, but not for all of us!!

Thanks.

WiFi tethering

Lollipop broken WiFi tethering function on my Z3, I can no longer create a mobile hotspot using my phone, I get an no Internet error with any devices that connect to the hotspot from my phone. So I am not going to update my Z3c incase this issue is affecting all Z3 lineup.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] RazvanZ3c:
Hello,

Yesterday i had 2 critical crashes when using 5.0.2 .726 Ukraine version on D5803

When i watched the same video clip from FB into chrome browse, at the end of the clip phone freezed with black screen .... the only way i could get out from there was to use "power button + vol up"

Is this normal?

Razvan
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] scottjb:
I can't guess what the problem could be with your setup but the hotspot works fine on mine. I do not use tethering though, only via WiFi.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] kind3r:
New firmware (23.1.A.1.28) with "close all" and other bug fixes started rolling out:

You probably have a carrier that prevents it, and need "settings put global tether_dun_required 0". Google it.

Whoa!! What about sound settings issue in this fw? Have they already fixed it?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] charliebigpot:
Here some of the changelog:

Ensured the lock screen / notification bar doesn’t indicate “no service” when the device has coverage

Added a Sony feature; bringing back the "close-all-button" in the activity menu, so you can easily close all apps at once

Unblocked devices with server policies (such as Exchange Active Sync for e-mail), to enable the new Lollipop lock-screen notifications

Ensured the LED light is lit across all sound modes - and no longer offset by “silent”

Made the necessary fixes to enable the easy movement of content from internal memory to external microSD card (something we saw affecting a few devices)

Improved messaging functionality in Ultra stamina mode – some conversations could not be opened before in Ultra stamina mode
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] x X x:
Yes, I saw this. But there is also a mysterious quote:

So I am curious what about this main (for me) issue with Lollipop, because audio settings are VERY UNSTABLE :P

Could someone please advise if the problem is resolved?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ejstubbs:
I tried Lollipop but for now I have reverted to KitKat. The reasons:

1) No "Close All" on the recent apps list. (Though I see that they've re-introduced this is the latest update.)

2) I didn't like the new quick settings. There seem to be fewer options there now eg the sound control is now triggered by the volume key. Hmm. Don't like.

3) I

really

don't like the way that it falls back to mobile data if it thinks the wifi connection is faulty. I prefer to know if my wifi at home is having problems, not have the phone hide the fact from me. (I know I can turn mobile data off, but then when I'm out and about I want mobile data

on

, so I have to enable it again. Isn't there some way to force mobile data off when wifi is on and connected to a WAP?)

4) On a related note, location-aware wifi seems to be have been removed. That seemed to work well on KK. With LP I either have to have wifi on all the time, or I have to toggle it manually. (From what I can see, Lollipop has also broken a lot of the third party smart wifi apps like Llama.)

5) Generally, I don't like the way that I seem to have lost a lot of the control that I used to have with KK. (I hate it when computers behave is if they're smarter than me, and take away my ability to make reasonable adjustments that I used to have the option to make.)

6) Last (and very much least) the general visual style of Lollipop is a bit toy-like for my taste. Mind you, I'm slowly getting used to Yosemite on my Macs, which is also a bit "Legoland" for my taste, so this one isn't necessarily a deal breaker. (Everyone seems to be at it, though. For example, I find it much harder to locate useful articles on the revamped, candy-colours-and-lots-of-white-space BBC News web site and app; I'm convinced that there's information hiding in there somewhere that the home page just doesn't give you a route to now:()
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ray_J13:
there is a new version for hk z3 compact. 23.2.A.1.62
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] tudork:
I also had a few critical crashes (on one of them I had to force recent, it was completely unresponsive). Also, some apps I use often don't stay open if I use them alternatively, meaning they switch off when I switch between them, such as ingress and Google maps. Also Google maps force closes quite often. I never had these issues with kitekat
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] kind3r:
That's because of the bad memory management/memory leaks in 5.0. Most of those issues will be fixed in 5.1, but that's still far away I think.

You can follow the progress here http://developer.sonymobile.com/knowledge-base/open-source/open-devices/latest-updates/
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Jack_R1:
There are no "memory leaks" in Sony's LP firmware. Please look up the info, it's been posted around enough.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] SylverPT:
Prior to 23.1.A.1.28 I had memory leaks 100% of the times I streamed media to any bluetooth speaker. So that's not entirely true.

What seems to be fixed (or the part of the code responsible for it was just not ported) is the random memory leak that forced redraws of the launcher, present in the AOSP code.

new LLP sound profile using volume rocker is impractical. I can't silent the phone while listening to musics because when playing music the volume rocker will only reduce the music player volume.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] superpipo:
I have tried LP for about a month... Stock, prerooted, dual...non dual....but ALL the version were suffering random reboot. So I back to KK prerooted with xzdr and all the problems magically solved. I think it was too early to release a LP, it has a lot of bugs at the moment.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] krisu253:
This is so weird, I think you exaggerate a little bit. I've got lollipop since the early beginning, I used three or more different customizations and I didn't experience single reboot.

My phone works slower after last update to 5.0.2. I do not know ifnits because of the nova launcher update, which was also recently, or the firmware update. For example, switching between different desktops is laggy :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] gadgetgaz:
I'm also seeing a laggy return to the launcher from apps including slow redraws. It happens with the Sony launcher and also with Nova Launcher.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Allkann:
After first lollipop update I was impressed of the speed. I have 5 different wallpapers using nova launcher. Would be fine with the performance now when I would not have experienced the much faster performance before.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] clouds5:
Definitely not nova launcher. Both my z3c with 4.4 and my tablet (also with 4.4) feel smoother since the recent update to nova.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Allkann:
I guess I have to live with it. Maybe the next update will fix it, before they **** it up again with the update thereafter :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] vittogn:
For me Nova is super smooth and fast, loaded with 5 homes and a good amount of widgets.

Lollipop 5.0.2+Nova-launcher= Pretty amazing performance :) There are only some minor lags while scrolling very fast down the app-list in the Rombox Toolbox-App.

But to be honest, I don`t have any experience with older updates for this model, as I purchased the Z3c 3 days ago and right out the box made an update.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] degraaff:
One big nuisance I have with lollipop is that, when I have the notification menu's quick settings opened, I always need two swipes up or two back taps to close the notification menu. And because of the slow fluid animations I can't even tap back twice quickly, I am forced to tap once and wait for the animation of quick settings closing, and only then I can tap back again to close the whole thing.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] scottjb:
A single tap on the Home button will close it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] degraaff:
But that also exits from the app I was using at that moment. :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] JCBomb:
Start the swipe up from the very bottom of the expanded notification tray.

Will take just a single swipe.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] degraaff:
Hmm... apparently the sticky notification from my weather app was preventing the dropdown menu from closing in one swipe. I don't know why Android has to behave that way.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] jarayn:
1. As you said, its fixed. Probably not really a fault.

2.. Im not really sure why linking volume to the volume key is odd to you? However an option seems like a better idea.

3. Im not sure what you mean by this. It falls back to mobile data when the wfi disconnects. What else would it do?

4. They specifically said that the way they do wifi now uses no more power than the old location based. So instead of having flakey (but kinda cool) location based you get perfect always on for the same battery cost.

5. No idea whatyou mean. There is at least as much control if not more. What are you missing specifically?

6. I find it much nicer apart from the colors. So I use a dark/er theme, job done.

Consider this scenario...... I'm browsing FB in its app for a minute & saw some good link, which I clicked & it opened in my chrome. After reading the stuff in that website, when I switch back to FB, the app reloads ....... This never happened in my Nexus 4

Also if I have 4-5 tab open in chrome & i switch between them, the page reloads
