Interesting. I have a D5803 running a debloated version of the CH v.546 connecting to a T-mobile MVNO showing LTE. AFAIK, I'm getting real LTE because everything I've tested does work. I haven't measured actual speeds, simply because I don't have enough data to burn through a speedtest. Is it known what phone characteristics combine to suffer the problem?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] krisu253:
In my case the auto-brightness sucks ;/ It wasn't great before either, but right now all it does is setting up the brightness to the half and nothing more; in dark room the screen is too bright and in the sun it is too dark; anyone has similar problem? also when I cover the sensor with my hand the brigthness stays the same; and I checked the sensor in #*#*7378423*#*# and it should work
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] CAL7:
Agree. I couldn't figure out why I couldn't see the screen, until I checked the auto brightness setting. Suffice to say, it's off now.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] INFRNL:
Has anyone noticed sound output being lower than before, plus sound modification controls (eq,etc) have not worked since kitkat?

I know there are some other issues, can't think of them at the moment.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] BlueZ-:
One thing is improved with 5.1.1, and that's MULTITASKING! With 5.0.2 if I keep 3 apps open everything else is reloading while now I can stay with many apps open at the same time and not a single refresh. Just amazing

Did you try using a 3rd party app for auto brightness? Does that bug still remain?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] vdefender:
Yeah every so often I also loose network access on (T-Mobile) H+ and 3g too. And then have to toggle mobile data off and back on to fix it. But it's not nearly as bad aa when LTE is turned on.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] LeoBloom.:
Agreed. Well I'm flashing back to 23.1.A.1.28 for now.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] vdefender:
Basically to reproduce the issue you just need an activated T-Mobile sim, and be in an LTE area. Go into your phones radio settings (the one in the hidden phone info menu) and make sure the radio is set to LTE/WCDMA/GSM auto (prl). Or LTE/GSM auto (prl). When LTE connects (shows in the status bar) you should have access to the internet, but then if you drive or move somewhere that has a bad LTE signal and the phone drops down to H+ or 3g, you will loose access to the internet. Even if you move back into LTE area, and even if the phone jumps back and forth between 3g and H+. The internet connection will not come back until you either power cycle the radio (airplane mode) or you use the Mobile data toggle button to turn it off and back on. Then you'll get internet again but only until the next time the radio switches to a different protocall again.

It seems that when you set the phone radio to not use use LTE, this doesn't happen. So currently mine is set to GSM Auto (prl)

New to the Z3Compact (5803). Haven't gotten the 5.1.1 update, how long does it normally take before every one gets it? Or am I supposed to load it from the companion app?

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] webwude:
I guess I will try that - Android OS is still using a lot of battery atm.

I will backup and try again :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Guids:
Did you resolve this problem? I have the same
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] RaXelliX:
Yeah better do the update trough PC Companion. God knows when (if ever) you'll get the 5.1.1 update otherwise. Hell some people are still on 4.4.4 and havent even gotten 5.0.2 lol...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] x2srj:
I didn't no
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Doctorx31:
5.1.1 users have you noticed headphone or speaker sound quality is improved?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Sadman Khan:
Headphone definitely. And it seems like the sound enhancements work systemwide again. And they definitely work in apps like Poweramp.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Doctorx31:
I'm very happy ^^
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Guids:
I used to flash a sound mod for mixer_path on 5.0.2.. I might hold off of that
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] pirx73:
Very good. No complaints.

Annoying docking sound is no more.

To be more precise - you can't turn it off, there is no setting for that but it finally honors priority and silent modes. So if your phone is on silent mode or priority mode, it does not plays.

Fine with me.

Using waze in car with charger phone got very hot with 5.0.2 and was charging very slowly, like 1% per 5 minutes, now it is noticeably faster and does not heats up that much using waze, with or without charger.

Hm this android 5.1 update sounds cool . When is it in the netherlands? And how about the gaps some people have does that get fixed by the 23.4.A.0.570 firmware thing of sony?

Xperia care on my phone says that i maby get 23.4.A.0.546
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] sheraro:
one word : multitasking !!

it was a real pain in 5.0.2 to get even 2 apps running simultaneously, now with no launcher redraw and no chrome refresh and fast recent-apps I can enjoy my z3c the way it deserve it. (didn't try kitkat though coz I got my phone lately)

oh and camera shutter speed is faster too !

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] radiohead14:
just read through the whole thread.. so just to double check... hold off on updating if you're on T-Mobile U.S., as there is an LTE switching issue?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Saaber:
I'm on T-Mobile US, and haven't had any issues after upgrading. I'm running the unbranded Swiss firmware, since it has the LTE indicator.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] vdefender:

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] vdefender:
So This doesn't happen very often, so it took me a day to have it happen again, but this morning it sure did. I grabbed a screen shot showing that I am in GSM only mode, not LTE, and that the the phone is not getting an IP address.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] danlat1415:
Has anyone in the UK got the 5.1.1 update?

I've got an unbranded Xperia Z3 Compact and still on 5.0.2

I've tried checking for updates on phone on Sony Companion software.

Is there anywhere else I can check without downloading the update from this site or rooting and running custom software?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] LeoBloom.:
I will try it as well
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] CAL7:
I'm on a deboated Swiss firmware and have been looking for the problem. So far, not yet. I'll be leaving my home area tonight to see if that provokes it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Saaber:
If you download Xperifirm, you can check on that to see what regions have the latest software. I checked it this morning, and maybe 1/4 of the regions have the 5.1.1 update. Nothing had been updated since last Friday, which was kind of disappointing.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] dyndragon:
I also changed to the Swiss firmware and no problems with data dropping so far...hard to say though. Tomorrow I'll know for sure.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] vdefender:
Wait I see two swiss firms, the 9528 Customized CH and the 9105 Swisscom CH, which one should I flash?

Edit:

I just went with the 9528, seemed like the good option. I'll report back if I can repro the t-mobile issue.

Woah, Ok this is looking good. So I actually dirty flashed the Swiss firmware, and after boot I noticed that it defaulted me into LTE mode, and I already have a solid data connection in H+, then I dropped into 3g, still had data, and now back to H+, still have data. I just need to find that sweet spot in my house to get me some LTE to test that.

This is looking really great!!! :D :D :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] x X x:
Updated Customized USA 5.0.2 to Customized CH 5.1.1 by Flashtool without wiping data. Everything works smooth and flawless. It is very fast. Also multitasking works great, no more closing and refreshing apps. Baterry life looks a little worse, but I only used it 2 days, so... Also sound quality is really really improved, especially sound stage (I use "General' headphone profile). Gaps between notifications symbols are not great, but who cares about it...

I thing I noticed and I didn't like is new UI of Messages app, There is only graphical information about status of message (Sent, Delivered, etc.) and it is not quite clear. In 5.0.2 there is a text information about message status, now sent messages are grayed out, delivered are coloured with bold text. I do not like this.

Also I have an issue with one thread in Messages app. I have got there a lot of messages (thousands), opening this thread is very slow, sent messages are also show with a delay. Is there a way to fix it (without deleting messages), cache clearing or something?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Sadman Khan:
Swisscom is the carrier branded one. So you chose the right one :P
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] LeoBloom.:

I downloaded it through Xperifirm, so I don't have a link. I created a flashable pre-rooted ZIP using Flashtool and PRF Creator, and dirty flashed it right over the customized Swiss firmware. So far everything seems to work perfectly, although I wasn't having any problems with the Swiss firmware, either.

end time 09:00 next day or an alarm before

now if you change the start time to one minute after you set it... your phone will enter silent mode, a star contact will call and it will be silent. Unless I'm doing something wrong?

Interesting. For me the US specific firmware fixed the LTE data connection problem. I did a lot of driving after I updated yesterday and not once did I lose data, and I definitely passed through low coverage spots where I would switched between 3G and LTE. I'll keep monitoring...
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] n0thing2bdone:
The new US firmware 546 has the same LTE bug as the other 546 firmwares. Confirmed in NYC on T-Mobile.

I downgraded to kitkat. If you do that, do a full wipe, otherwise you will have a bootloop.

I had not realized how slow 5.0.2 is compared to 4.4.4. I was only on 5.1 for an hour or so before I encountered the bug. Based on that, I put 5.1's speed somewhere between 5.0.2 and 4.4.4.

Also, the L memory bug is apparently still present in 5.1.1, so it might not make sense to upgrade even with an LTE fix. Some notice the memory leak after 2 or 3 days, others after 9 days, and still others immediately after opening and closing a game, regardless of uptime. This is true of all devices running all versions of L. There were rumors in March that it was fixed, "fixed internally," but that was quickly overtaken by numerous reports that it's ongoing.

When disabling apps and returning to previous screen in "Apps" menu, you continue at the same position rather than the the list jumping back to the top again every time in previous builds.

If scrolling really fast in certain menus, the list doesn't stop when reaching the end, but instead bounces back.
