Thanks for your info! Could you please try below and see if it will work? You have to have carrier which supports VoLTE and phone firmware that has LTE in the menu.

If for some reason the HD Voice Calling option is disabled or inaccessible on your phone after updating to Android 5.1, then you can try the following steps to fix the issue.

Navigate to Settings > More > Cellular Networks and enable the toggle switch for Enhanced 4G LTE Mode. However, if the toggle is missing then follow the steps provided below:

Launch the Dialer app on your phone, and dial *#*#4636#*#*.

Choose Phone information.

Enable or select VoLTE Provisioned Flag.

Restart the phone.

Go to Settings " More " Cellular networks and toggle the switch for Enhanced 4G LTE Mode, and the HD Voice calling feature should now be activated on your device running Android 5.1.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] lux44:
It seems my phone does not have this flag: menu, system.

I remember reading that my provider supports HD Voice only on 3G network (and for making the call in 4G network, the phone switches from 4G to 2G for the duration of the call). Indeed, in my experience HD Voice calls have become very rare unfortunately.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] porsche911996:
I have tmobile, and couldn't get any data until I re-downloaded the settings.

I was still getting time outs, so I did a full factory reset and wiped data . So far, that fixed it .
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] LeoBloom.:
So if you go to area with no service, and then regain service, your data e.g. browser or WhatsApp works without cycling airplane mode? Did you flash the US 546?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] porsche911996:
I got an over the air update this morning, so I didn't need to download and flash.

If I go to an area without service, it does pick back up on its own, now.

Oh, friendly tip, you can usually just turn data off, then back on, instead of going into airplane mode. Its a little faster to recover that way verses airplane that turns all the radios off.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] LeoBloom.:
Did you start out on 23.1.A.1.28 or did an OTA arrive after having flashed the US 23.4.A.0.546?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] rayluc25:
Hmm I always do a factory reset after doing an upgrade, but I also have the problem everyone else is claiming to have on T-mobile. I re-downloaded internet/MMS settings a bunch of times but whenever my phone goes down to H/H+ and then back to LTE, I need to toggle either the airplane mode, the mobile data, or the LTE icon in my quicksettings to fix it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] rubi76:
Damn the day I decided to update.

I am in NY on TMO - I was on the Nordic generic firmare, updated and lost LTE.

I used Flashtool to put the CH Swiss firmare, and back to 5.0.1, but I didn't want to delete my data so I am getting storage error and google play errors.... Sony Bridge also does not recognize the device. I guess I will have to do a factory reset.

I had every single Nexus phone and love stock, this year I went to this phone - and love it - but this is one of those times where I wish I didn't...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] PuffDaddy_d:
I just made the jump from 4.4.4 to 5.1.1 and I'm liking it more than I expected. One HUGE positive that's come from the upgrade is the led flashlight (torch) is 10x brighter than it was in KitKat. Anyone else notice this?! It's finally usable! :)

Oh, and the lag between pressing record and when the video actually starts recording has been reduced by a second or two, which is GREAT! I really didn't notice the camera taking photos much faster than before though. It's still considerably slower than phones I've used in the past (HTC one mini, one S, iphone 4, etc).
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] martin.liversidge:
Anyone noticed the auto rotate too sensitive? I've had to luck mine to portrait
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] kpham:
hello I just updated to 5.1 Nordic version a couple days ago (flashed via recovery, pre-rooted). Now i wanna change to USA version, is it ok if I make a flash again? (not wipe data, just wipe dalvik cache).

Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] quack3d:
There's definitely less delay than before. But I like this better actually.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Cazteclo:
I feel that the screen rotates more easily when I tilt the phone to the left, at an angle, then when I tilt it to the left.

Both the auto-rotate and the screen itself are feeling more sensitive in 5.1.1, in my opinion. I have tempered glass and still the screen feels over-sensitive since the update.

Regarding the rotation then I tried using the 'smart' rotation and then I was always kind of stuck in landscape or portrait, so that didn't help.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] webwude:
Found bugs so far:

- (too) bright with adaptive brightness when you wake up the phone

- sound: planned silent mode is not working correctly: when defining exceptions (calls from contacts) phone is still not ringing.

to be continued...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Doctorx31:
This bug is not solved in 5.1.1? I'm crying
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] webwude:
For me, it was introduced with 5.1.1 - did not have that with 5.0.2
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Doctorx31:
Interesting I have this problem now 5.0.2
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] punshkin:
I'm still on 4.4 as well but I think your comment was just what i needed to update :D

Is the flashlight really that much brighter? Thats the only thing thats really been bothering me about the Z3c

Less video delay is also much appreciated

whats your impression on battery life so far?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Crewville96:
I might have been premature about the sound. It very well might be louder. My wife's Z3C is still on kit kat, I'm on 5.1.1. I'll test both later and compare results.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Doctorx31:
Headphone and speaker compare pls :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] x X x:
+1 for this question too ;)

In thread about CE1 5.1.1 - what about infamous gaps in notification bar? Better/worse/the same as in other versions?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] jarayn:
Same. This is a new bug in 5.1.1 was perfect in 5.0

Is not that bad but a bit annoying.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] njhardc0re:
Since upgrading when I lose mobile data signal it does not reconnect. I have to turn mobile data off and on in order to fix! Anyone else have that issue?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] x X x:
Now it looks different like in 5.0.2.

---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------

You were asking about sound quality and yes, it is improved. You aren't asking about volume.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Doctorx31:
I understand
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] jolindbe:
I also have the T-mobile data issue that many others are reporting.

However, I also noticed that the phone gets warmer than usual, and thus loses charge quicker. Anyone else who has experienced this?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] syedkamal92:
I had the same problem..need longer time to charge.. And battery also seems more quickly dry..planning to roll back to 5.02..

Anyone samw with me??
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] x2srj:
Glad someone has confirmed the exceptions bug, come on Sony... Back to nights keeper for now
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] PuffDaddy_d:
This is day 1 for me. While using the phone, the battery drain is comparable to KitKat, but while it was sleeping, Google Services decided to act up and put a decent drain on the system. Will reboot and try again.

The flashlight truly is brighter - and it's a night/day difference. My dropped when I turned it on and it lit up the room! I used my old iphone to compare, and it absolutely drowns out the iphone's flashlight, which USED to be able to drown out the Z3's light.

One thing I used to brag about android over iOS was the fact that the dialer was always the first screen to pop up when you clicked on your phone app. It was great to simply start dialing the contact's name and call them without extra steps. Now, this new UI starts on the call history page and requires another click to pull up the dialer. Anyone know a way around this?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] jarayn:
I don't want the dialer to pop up first, I'm not sure why that would be something to brag about.

Anyway, gravity box enables that... Feature.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Cronis:
Just updated to 5.1. LTE working fine and everything is noticeably snappier. Overall quite happy with the improvement. Initial impression with the camera is auto mode now tends to go for more noise as opposed to over processing everything and getting a smudged look. Will have to do more testing.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] PuffDaddy_d:
Thanks for the suggestion!

If you don't want it, then fine. But I personally find it more convenient to use the smart dialer than scrolling through recent contacts or the phone book. Anything that allows me to place a call in fewer clicks is a big plus for what is essentially, still a PHONE.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] porsche911996:
I was on the 5.02 its release. (23.1.A.128) a notification came yesterday morning (over the air update) that it was available and installed it.

I haven't had to flash anything since I bought the phone and flagfla the 4.4 update to it. Since then, I've gotten all the updates by ota notification and installation.

Re: 5.1.1 (build 546) losing connection on T-mobile

From reddit user FishStik5: Going into the APN settings and changing the APN protocol to iPv4 only (it was iPv6 before) seems to fix the problem.*

*

How to find the setting: Settings-> Wirelessa and Network / more -> Mobile networks -> APN -> T-mobile data -> APN protocol -> Set to IPv4.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] PuffDaddy_d:
Darn, it didn't work. Not sure why though, nearly everything else in gravity box does.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Doctorx31:
Guys please help me :( I tried update my z3 compact with pc companion and I received Sony update engine failure (1800) and update doesn't completed every time please help me What does this problem?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ajgftw:
I'm pretty sure 1800 is something about internet connection.

If that's not the problem and your connection is fine, try the usual stuff like uninstalling pc companion and reinstalling it.

Alternatively you could use Flashtool and xperifirm so that you can flash the firmware AFTER downloading it which will reduce the risk connection related problems :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Doctorx31:
I fear that there is a problem with the phone :( I hope that in a short time income OTA
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ajgftw:
What leads you to think the problem is your phone? I am sure they would have a different error code for phone related problems as opposed to connection based problems.

And my 2 minutes of googling the code said 1800 was internet connection based so that's gotta be a scientific fact right?

Best of luck.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Doctorx31:
Thank you bro :) relieve me. I'll try again :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] javierdsv:
My impressions so far:

(Plus)

Major:

- Less lag, I could notice a boost on scrolling and transition "smoothness" . This comes with a better RAM handling and less apps crashing (Like Facebook). Quite impressed here.

- Better battery, out of my own personal testings and my normal usage, I used to get out of my job with 64% battery, after the update it is 77% when I'm out. (Average)

- Sound quality. Ok I'm an audiophile and this is what I can tell: Headphones volume/quality is slightly (barely noticeable) improved, speakers volume/quality is as bad as always. But, something that made me happy is the quality of the Bluetooth streaming, on 5.0.2 when a song would reach the bass the volume would decrease to avoid distortion and go up when it reached mid tones again. If you were using a Bose speaker for instance, you would notice a volume go down from 100% to 70% on every bass drop and then go up. This is no longer happening, and the sound is not washing out on mid tones, frigging happy about this.

Minor:

- No need to hit OK to unlock with PIN (awesome)

- More 3D-ish settings icons

(Cons)

- It gets too bright for a few seconds and normalize when you unlock using automatic brightness (I never use it tho, was confirming other reported bugs)

- Exceptions on Silent Mode are not working

- Camera will not support Raw options still.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] rayluc25:
I posted a thread in reddit about this problem and was just about to re-post FishStik5's solution as well. It's been working great for me, I traveled across 3 cities today going in and out of LTE and 3G and a basement with no coverage. Data worked every time I got signal back. Hooray!

Would be great if this bug didn't exist, but this solution will have to do for now. Now all I need is the weird screen brightness upon unlocking (if using auto brightness) to be fixed.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] PuffDaddy_d:
Pros:

- This version of LP is what 5.0.2 SHOULD have looked like. The themes, icons, and colors are all more cohesive and have better visual appeal. I like it!

- The new calendar app looks cleaner

- I can now add live wallpapers to the lock screen (maybe you could do it in 5.0.2? but i skipped from 4.4.4. straight to 5.1.1)

- The video camera starts recording almost immediately now. No more 3 second delay!

- Home screen and app drawer can finally rotate.

- Most of the UI just looks cleaner and more attractive; especially, the phone app.

- I like the shortcuts to certain settings in the pull down menu (e.g. power stats)

Cons:

- So many people talk about LP being "snappier" or more responsive than KK. I just don't see it. They look the same on my device, but after testing on Quadrant, LP only gave me a score of 12,000. I was getting nearly 21,000 with KK. I don't know what Quadrant uses to calculate these numbers, but I've never seen an newer OS cause my score to drop by nearly 50%.

- The Wifi icon randomly shows an "!" symbol next to it, and then I loose connection. Sometimes it goes away on it's own, other times, I have to restart the phone.

- I know everyone knows this, but really... why does the signal icon have that awkward space next to it?

- The Phone app starts on recent contacts page instead of dialer. I hate having to press two buttons before I can dial my contact's name/number.

- KK spoiled me with the quick settings access through the power menu. Turning on the vibrate or airplane mode seemed so much easier before. I hope someone fixes that with an Xposed module.

- Lock screen notification settings SUCK. I don't want a bright white card for a notification on my lock screen (I wish it could be dark or transparent). And anything I do to change them, effects notifications throughout the entire phone. System notifications and lock screen notifications need to be handled as two separate items. Since when has android NOT given us a choice?! Notifications are NOT an all or nothing proposition. I'm still hoping an Xposed module can solve this some day.

- Somehow, the in-call speakerphone managed to get even quieter than KK.

- And there's just something about having to swipe down twice to access the quick settings (even when there are no notifications) seems like extra work.

- The power stats chart now focuses on the wrong information. I already know how much estimated time is remaining on my battery because the previous screen says so. Why then do I need a chart/graph that wastes the entire screen showing me a useless straight gray line sloping down to zero? KK had it right by focusing on the history of the battery usage to better determine what is causing the drain. Now it's all scrunched together and nearly impossible to interpret.

Undecided:

- I haven't used it long enough to know if the battery life is better/worse than KK. I don't expect much of a change though.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] jarayn:
Weird. It works for me.

I guess you are using the latest versions of xposed zip and apk, and GB?

Can't think of anything else I did.

Only other solution for you is to use a 3rd party dialer.

There's a lot to choose from. Exdialer is really good.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] SyntheZ:
Hello everyone.

After upgrading to 5.1.1 my microphone sometimes stopped working.

I make a call and listener cannot hear me at all.

This can be fixed by a phone restarting but after some time the issue is back.

Can somepne help me solve this as this is really uncomfortable issue?

Thanks!

I've never had the T-Mobile LTE problem, apparently, now explained, because I've always had ipV4 for my APN settings.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] etushar89:
Hi,

You using Stamina mode all the time? What's the total battery time (100 to 0%) you get with moderate usage?

Battery life on my D5833 had been mediocre since I updated to LP (5.0.2 and 5.1.1 both). I haven't tried full wipe on 5.1.1 though, will try that sometime.

On KK 4.4.4, I used to get 1.5 day with moderate usage. :o

Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Cirra92:
Try the 5.1.1 with full wipe, I have been on 5.1.1 with dirty flash and I had rather disappointing battery life, now after full wipe (dalvik, cache, system, data) it seems better than ever.

15h on a charge, 3h + of SOT and 69% left.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] javierdsv:
Yes, I use STAMINA all the time. If I use it extensively (gaming, videos, etc) I can get around 6-7 hours. My normal usage is lower than the average tho, so it usually takes around 15-40 hours to go from 100% to 0 for me.

I would recommend you to a wipe or clean install the new update. - Because many have reported same if not better as KK battery life.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] vdefender:
T-Mobile LTE issue solved

Thanks for sharing your APN settings with us last week! NOT! LOL jk.

The IPv4 did indeed fix my T-mobile issue. So I'm glad this is finally figured out :D

Just to reiterate the fix again for anyone who missed the previous 4 posts:

Go into your APN settings, and change the APN Protocol to IPv4.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] PuffDaddy_d:
I'm not sure what that would do for me besides take away the one feature I value most - lock screen notifications. My point is that I cant do the following:

- Change the appearance of the lock screen notifications.

- If I prevent an app from showing notifications on the lock screen, it won't show in the status bar either. For example, I updated 20+ apps all at once and when I unlocked my phone, I had 20+ notifications on the screen. I turned off the feature as you suggested, but all updates after that were never confirmed in the status bar. I had to guess whether or not the update was completed.

For each app, we're basically forced to either have all notifications on, or all notifications off. There's no middle ground. KK handled this way better using 3rd party alternatives. I assume, LP will get some of those alternatives through Xposed one day. Until then, it's a PITA.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] najodleglejszy:
I see. I misread your comment a little bit and kinda thought you wanted to get rid of lockscreen notifications since you can't customize them. and yeah, disabling statusbar notifications along with lockscreen ones seems like a dumb move.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] dyndragon:
Fixed here too. Good find.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] kevintangi:

Anyone is having the same issue ?

Or have an idean of what woud block the installation ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] mnguyen127:
If you're using Luxx or any app that adjusts the screen brightness/settings for you automatically, it messes with your ability to hit the install button for a reason I'm too tired to go into. But yeah. Just stop the screen brightness app you're using, install the app you want, then re-enable the screen brightness app.

This happens frequently during the day.

The microphone itself is working I tested it using diagnosis tool and sound recording app. Listener can hear me normally when I turn on the speakerphone. And after I switch back to normal speaking mode microphone works normally.

But when I make a new phone call the issue is back until I turn on and off the speakerphone again.

After phone reboot everything is OK but after some time the problem is back.

Battery problem

:( after the update from 5.0.2 to 5.1.1, the battery discharges quickly

Please, How to go Back? :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] clouds5:
I did a clean install (factory reset) coming from 4.4 and I really like lollipop. First time I use it. Such a nice experience.

The one thing that is absolutely annoying though is the double tap to wake. In the older kitkat firmwares it worked always 100%. Now it only works if I do something to the phone first. But I guess I knew that was the case in all newer firmwares. Still its sad because it used to work perfectly and now it's more like a gimmick.
