I hope it's just 23.5.A.0.570 + May security release = 23.5.A.0.575

I'm quite happy with 23.5.A.1.151 so I may not "update" to this.

How long we have travelled with the Z3c. From KitKat 4.4 to Lollipop 5.0.2 to Lollipop 5.1.1 to Marshmallow 6.0.1 and Android N in the horizon already being tested in the big brother Z3.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] YoMarK:
Unfortunately, the black screen and alarm issues are still present on .575 . They have something to do with smart cover functionality, but for some reason when I disable it under Sound options, it toggels itself back on after a call or a reboot.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] madd0g:
Well, your BT car ain't everyone's BT car. There are a lot of people loosing the BT with M, be it on a Nexus or any device. It's just a lottery with Android, they constantly mess with BT.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Foxhunter123:
Hello again :)

Sadly it is still a problem even after .575... My BT works fine with my Jambox bluetoothspeaker though so it is not that BT is not working with all devices... But it is definitely a very serious problem that my car cannot pair with my Z3C anymore - a problem that if it is not corrected in a very near future - will result in buying a new phone.......
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] madvinegar:
Fortunately my BT works just fine with the BT of my car.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] acme64:
go back to 5.1 , why would you replace the phone over a bad update?

that being said i was initially getting the same issues. I did a clean flash and re-paired the phone to my car, seems fine now.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] MechaBouncer:
Has anyone else been having trouble installing the new .575 update? It appears to download fine, but fails to install after the first reboot at about 20%. I'm wondering if it might be because I have migrated my data to an EXT4 partition I manually made on my SD card through ADB. I just want to see if anyone else has had trouble installing before I migrate everything back to internal storage. Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] manilafortuna:
Anyone having prolems with sd micro card?

I can not move app, to the sd card...

it says , not enought storage?

But my sd cart full empty?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] MechaBouncer:
I'm going to reply to myself in case this helps someone else. So yeah, the reason I couldn't update was because I had migrated data to an EXT4 partition that I created through ADB. While it technically worked, the updater didn't know what to make of the files that were moved.

So I attempted to to migrate the data back to the internal storage. What resulted was an exercise in frustration and terrible failure as I had exceeded the space available on my internal storage. It filled up before the transfer completed. This left my phone in a state where it couldn't migrate the remaining data, but couldn't move the data back to the SD card to get things working "normally" again. This forced me to delete a bunch of apps and data to try and make room and finish the migration. I also had to delete or move anything I had manually copied to the partition. Luckily I had a smaller FAT32 partition to work with.

This was all a major pain and I'll have to reconfigure a good number of apps now (and hopefully my save files will still be available for some of my games). At this point, I'm highly considering jumping over the the Concept firmware as long as I can still use my Dualshock 4 controller and Remote Play.

Hi guys! I have 2 questions about Stock 6.0.1 23.5.A.0.575 rom

1 - Can I root it with KingRoot (apk) ??

2- Does this rom's kernel supports swap ?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] M1chiel:
KingRoot has vary bad reputation: http://xdaforums.com/z3-compact/help/xperia-z3c-remove-kingroot-losing-root-t3344470/page1

So it may be possible but your your data are not safe and rooting is so-so.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] toxic-hero:
same thing.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] madvinegar:
I notice a bug.

It does not happen all the time.

When you press the sound buttons on the side of the phone (the ones that you use to increase/decrease the sound), you get a popup were you can slide the bar to increase or decrease the main sound.

Right next to this bar, there should be a little arrow pointing downwards which, when pressed, shows the dropdown menu that reveals the media sound bar and the alarm clock sound bar.

Well.. this arrow does not always show up. There are times that I am using the google browser or youtube, and I press the side buttons so as to get the sound menu popup, but there is no arrow for the dropdown menu so as to minimize the sound of the media sound bar. I revert back to my home screen and I still don't get this little arrow. I have to navigate to the settings > sounds & notifications, and do it from there.

Then, things go back to normal.

As said, this does not happen everytime. And I cannot deduct when and why this happens so as to find the culprit.

Anyone else experiencing this?

My phone is Z3 Compact with Stock Marsmallow rom 6.0.1 - 23.5.A.0.570-R4D

I hope these small bugs are fixed in 23.5.A.0.575

You can flash any Customized fw from any country..

Why to wait for customised GR ?

Sent from Sony Xperia Z2 (D6503) Android 6.0.1
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] madvinegar:
I don't know if it's true, but I read somewhere that it's better to flash the ftf of your country because it is set in way to work better with your country's antennas so you get much better signal for calls, mobile data etc.

Since they make FTFs for each country, there must be something that makes them different (language is not an issue since you can easily change it no matter what rom you use).

At least, that's my thoughts. Maybe I am wrong.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] akshay2shah:
As far I know it's nothing to do with phone antenna or frequency ?

All fw works the same way..

Only difference is between blaotwares. some fw comes with more some with less.(pre-installed apps)

All systems functionality remains same.

Sent from Sony Xperia Z2 (D6503) Android 6.0.1
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] madvinegar:
I agree with you, but I believe this bloatware is present only if you have a rom from a mobile provider.

For example Vodafone GR, or Vodafone US etc.

When it comes to customized roms (like mine - Customized GR), there is no bloatware. So, I really don't know what the difference is with the customized rom of another country. I thought it was the better frequency or antenna signal, but I am not sure.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Ian Abrahamson:
6.0.1 very impressed

I have had Marsh mellow now for a few weeks, everything works, dont know if i am just lucky, or something can still go wrong.

But the phone is more responsive, the camera and picture app has more stuff.

Very happy

[MENTION=2203720]toxic-hero[/MENTION], the phone is stock standard bought at the dealer network.

Before i got the 6.0.1 update, a week before i got a preliminary update which took about an hour.

So thats how it went. No root.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] toxic-hero:
no, sadly not. i have a rooted phone and it's the same. i tried different stock versions but no luck. hope that there will be a sony update to fix this..

ah, ok. but you must first downgrade, root and install recovery, then flash a prerooted .zip file from recovery.

App switching needs reload

Since I switched to MM, I'm having the following issue:

Almost everytime I switch between two or more Apps, at some point at least one of them needs to reload. This is incredibly annoying, especially when browsing long web pages, facebook time line or twitter feed. When I play games it's even more frustrating as i cannot just quick reply to a message, because then my game is killed.

The problem was not present on Lollipop.

Does anyone else experience this problem?

I'm on german build 23.5.A.0.575 on Model D5803, not rooted, default launcher

You can find info about that HERE

Solutions for that is to wait for Sony to change it, change it yourself (you need root) or to go back to lollipop...

3. My Bluetooth car Radio Displays number call aß unknown, previously i could See a number

.... Rolling back and maybe to kitkat to see how it compares to lollipop
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] hekermeker:
Maybe I am the only one here but for me camera quality is worse. So much noise even in daylight ... auto mode. Manual mode is better but when you want to use camera phone mostly you have to be quick, no time for manual settings.

I've found that it's running hot since I did the Marshmallow update to 23.5.A.0.575

Does not keep widgets on smart cover window, only music seems to stay (default widget), sony clock and sony weather widgets change their placement order and even plainly disappear.

Battery life is worse due to missing Stamina mode.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] madd0g:
There is no STAMINA coming back like it was in L, the STAMINA mentioned here (and the one that's live for Z5 series already) is a rebranded L battery saver.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] bookworth:
The real problem is that since KitKat all the background services eat more battery. As soon as so enable eg Gmail, Hangouts in whitelist, phone starts eating battery anyway. It is not only the radios that consume energy, there are other background processes that seem to consume more energy than before. Besides, in KitKat, it seems, that thr system consumes more energy - Marshmallow code itself is more efficient.

In my case, the result was approximately the same. I am not using Facebook.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Moglie:
Only the google background services?

I dont use Gmail, Hangouts etc. and uninstalled them.

I dont use Facebook on phone also.

Which background services exactly?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] bookworth:
Your phone uses Google Services, Google Play, Android Device Manager, + Sony's own spyware programs (MyXperia most notable, but also others). When I installed KitKat last week, I believe a lot of Sony background programs were updated among other things.

For me personally, KitKat had nightly battery drawn (with STAMINA ON - sync off) higher or the same than with Marshmallow. And Screen On Time, this is almost the same of course.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Nalesnik:
Google Services

Settings -> Apps -> Show System -> Google Play Services App data usage -> Restrict app background data to ON

Settings -> Apps -> Show System -> Google Play Services App data usage -> Storage -> Manage space -> Clear All Data.

Then reboot. It helped me a lot so if your battery is drained by Google Play Services - you should try, what I've described above.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] dangleberry_44:
Yep - Provider branded ROMs would typically have more bloatware/spyware.

Does anyone know which country's Customised firmware are the best?

...or are they all the same - some say Australia's ROM is best - I'm curious about whether some might offer more free space than others.

I saw the firmware: "D5833_23.5.A.0.570_R4D_Australia Generic_1288-4214" - does "GR" refer to the 'Generic' part?

For reference, Concept ROM's Internal storage free space was 180 MB used of 11.57 GB available.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] dangleberry_44:
Possibly try to tweak the setting near the bottom of Developer Options - Background process limit - to "at most, 4 processes" and see if that makes a difference.
