Should be receiving the stamina update officially this month, not sure on date. The z3 users will get the full package with apps to SD vs the z5 guys and z3+ guys. The z5 were first to et MM but 6.0 and the z3 guys received 6.0.1 from 5.1.1.

We're in good hands.
[Xperia Z3 General] HoTsHoT89:
Does anyone experience an issue where the microSD card connection drops during file transfer while on Mass Storage mode?

The connection just gets cut off all of a sudden and the card gets disconnected, especially when transferring huge amounts of data into the phone - as if the cable was pulled off.

However if the phone screen is left on there are no issues at all... weird.
[Xperia Z3 General] emil234:
I have the same issue. But the problem was with a screen. He just not stick to the main body.

Anyone try to record a phone call ith MM?
[Xperia Z3 General] Licaon_Kter:
With what (app) exactly?
[Xperia Z3 General] johnny374:
I actually use ACR. If you use any other please tell me...

I ask because with Concept MM I couldn't use phone call recording with an app...

Hi there, Anybody here having problem with home screen slowness once you exit from any apps?

once i exit any app, i can see that all my home screen shortcuts are blank for about 5-10 seconds before it appears again..

Happens after the Mashmallow update recently

Plz tell me how to enable volte on d6653.
[Xperia Z3 General] alan573819:
I've just upgraded to MM 6.0.1 and I use ACR to record calls.

It failed at first but automatically suggested new settings which worked fine after applying them and rebooting.
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
VoLTE must be supported by your provider and you must install firmware that has support for VoLTE, for example German Vodafone or Telekom. Then VoLTE settings will be available under Call settings.
[Xperia Z3 General] ubercool786:
Before Z3 i was using another phone and on that i was able to use volte which means that my provider supports it. If i flash telekom or vodafone firmware will it bootloop. Because i flashed singtel firmware and it FC many applications and then restarts itself and what about sim lock. and by voadfone do u mean vodafone au and telekom nz.
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
Check if firmware exists for your provider..

I meant Vodafone DE or Telekom DE
[Xperia Z3 General] ubercool786:
Installed Vodafone AU and VoLTE working now. Thanks for suggesting vodafone firmware.

Ive updated recently to Marshmallow on the Z3 and whilst it's nice, I've noticed some big problems...

RAM management is now awful.

Battery life is poor - once my battery hits 20% it's plummets to 0 within a couple minutes. I was wondering if this was a hardware or software issue? Google services also kills alot.

Stamina mode has gone and the marshmallow version has been gimped.

I was wondering if I should downgrade back to Lollipop since it was better in those aspects for me, or if I should restore the marshmallow update to see if that fixes things.

How has Marshmallow been for you guys? Have you had the above problems?

It's annoying that Sony gimped their software so much when it was one of the best ROMS
[Xperia Z3 General] Licaon_Kter:
What standby and what SOT (screen on time) do you get?

I do get >5h SOT on 2 days standby, but with (root and) Xposed+PowerNap (modeled after Sony Stamina; don't forget to whitelist apps)+ForceDoze (to enable Aggresive Doze on screen off).
[Xperia Z3 General] killa78:
About 4 hours, compared to the 5/6 regularly on Lollipop in one day standby.

My back cover is coming off anyway, so I'm tempted to put a new battery in.
[Xperia Z3 General] comax70:
Hi i have restore ny phone from pc companions but restored is lollipop not mm..

I have received some updates and it seem that they fix the ram management. Everything works quite well :) I can switch between 10 and more open apps without reload (after update I've turn off and then on). Build number it's the same.

I have checked in the history of updates and there is two. One it's support and the other one is maintenence update.

Ram management works great so far :)

Edit: When you turn off the screen and after some time some of apps reloaded :(
[Xperia Z3 General] revan17:
What ROM is that? Stock ROM themed or? Where can I get it?

Few weeks ago i did the MM update, used MM for about 2 hours and went back to LP. Fast, really fast, it's completely useless for me without full, normal access to my external SDcard, tried various ways to get the "adoptable storage feature" proper working, with correct sizes and so on, no chance. Is it in mean time possible, or did someone experiences with xposed modules, f.i. XinternalSD ( screens pls ) or similar? Thanx in advance for suggestions, solutions.

D6603, LB, rooted, LP 5.1.1
[Xperia Z3 General] cokebotle:
Say, has anyone had sound/notification issues with 6.0?

I used the Sony Companion app to update my Z3, but now DND never turns off according to the Automatic Rule I made and outgoing phone calls turn ringtones/notification sounds to On from Vibrate...
[Xperia Z3 General] .rc:
I just installed Marshmallow for the first time 2 days ago, and after a day I had to reverted back to Lollipop 5.1.1. :(

IMHO, my experience with Marshmallow is similar to Windows 8; just more trouble than they're worth.

- Noticeably longer boot time.

- Consume ~0.5GB more space than Lollipop. :rolleyes: (Not too much of an issue, but still...less usable space for user.)

- Micro stutters when pressing Overview button.

- Choppier performance overall, especially in Play Store app; much worse scrolling performance than Lollipop 5.1.1.

- Antutu score goes down ~1300 points from Lollipop 5.1.1 (Though this is not a problem in itself, it suggests decrease in performance).

- Apps do no stay in memory; Apps and Webpages have to reload/redraw much much more often than Lollipop 5.1.1.

- Cannot easily enable SD card R/W for all apps. Though there is an Xposed module workaround, it's not work on every apps.

- Without Stamina mode, battery depletes much faster in standby.

Unless Sony introduces some major functions into their Marshmallow rom, like, Adoptable Storage, I think I will probably stick with Lollipop until I buy a new phone.

You can still make a pre-rooted ROM with PRFCreator and flash it.

Only difference is, now, you have to use RecRoot instead of DualRecovery.
[Xperia Z3 General] oSandmaNo:
When lollipop was out every one complained and said KitKat was better. Marshmallow is out, lollipop is better
[Xperia Z3 General] Licaon_Kter:
I find them shorter.

You mean 2.5% less? Useless.

Xposed? PowerNap+ForceDoze = >5h SoT here
[Xperia Z3 General] doomed151:
If Sony introduces Adoptable storage, you would complain about an even worse performance. There's a reason why they didn't include it.
[Xperia Z3 General] comax70:
Hahaha shure
[Xperia Z3 General] mb011:
The only problem I have noticed is this. And yes, ram memory management is much worse then on lollipop.

Sent via Xperia Z3
[Xperia Z3 General] .rc:
But that would be a trade-off that users can choose.

I have been using apps to move data and obbs to SD card, so I am ok with trading app loading time for more storage space. I was so happy when Google announced this feature, then severely let down when I found out Sony removed it from their firmwares. :(

I know, I know that there are people that love Marshmallow but it's just... not for me.

All other problems I could tolerate or look pass them, but SD card issue and stuttering, choppy scrolling just get to me.

I guess "Be together. Not the same." slogan can apply here. :laugh:

You guys like Marshmallow and that's cool. I, for now, prefer Lollipop and I think that's cool too, right?
[Xperia Z3 General] Torres77an:
First off any phone launched on it's firmware at the time will function properly but I can tell you as of someone who's owned many devices kit Kat isn't a well put together stable Android release though it got better 5.1.1 is far better and owning a Nexus Tablet I've found that first interations of MM weren't as good as 5.1.1 and I'm still not sure if it's as stable cause some apps can give my Nexus issues as where nothing could before so I'm quite confident in LP and will be waiting for at least another update from Sony before I update to Marshmallow.
[Xperia Z3 General] browngeek:
Still surprised not all variants have been updated yet. Seems the HK version of the D6633 (amongst other versions of the dual) are still on Lollipop.

Stamina Mode is replaced by Batter Saver from Stock Android. It contains reduce performance.

So that's why your X Performance feels "lag(frameskip)".
[Xperia Z3 General] HellRoot:
Xperia performance has stamina! And it sucks.

It overheats and lags... And when stamina is on it underperforms and lags..not to mention a touch screen from another world. Useless
[Xperia Z3 General] imkr:
I'm not going to justify one for all. In my own experience, mostly traveling for mission... Activated STAMINA mode, it helps me to surfing through email longer if I compared to my previous phones. I agreed, it's slow...but it was clearly explained to you in the STAMINA mode instructions. If you don't agreed to the 'slow performance' don't even care about activated STAMINA mode.

Cheers,

MKR
[Xperia Z3 General] HellRoot:
On my z3 it did not slow it down, it killed some processes and forced the data off and such.

This stamina in the new software is just about lowering CPU clock, making it virtually impossible to even write an SMS due to lag.

The old stamina was great and yes it did also have an option for lowering performance, this was an additional setting.

Wifi issues...

Hi,

I've been using this one for a while and have noticed/annoyed when the phone disconnect the wifi.

It makes be unsure... does it connect using the mobile network instead of using wifi?

I guess this is a feature of that "New" android powersaving thing but I feel its odd that it does disconnect since I have enabled always in the advanced settings.

I don't want to wait for the phone to reconnect to the wifi....

I know I have read about this... seen the same "issue" on my samsung s4 gt-9505.

Suggested solution was to update the modem firmware, have'nt tried it (reverted back to CM11).

Does anyone know when the Sony people with release the newer firmware? Hopefully they will include a newer modem firmware! :)
[Xperia Z3 General] robogo1982:
Wait a minute.

You have the same issue on a different device?

Might be your wifi, not necessarily the phone...

[Xperia Z3 General] CRzz:
Might be but it started when I updated to android 5/6 on both devices.

I know it's a modem issue cause right now I have 4.4.4 on my phone... No wifi Issue.

Use PRFCreator to make "fake" prerooted, just do NOT include recovery, only BETA system supersu from the root BETA M thread. Flash it in recovery and IMMEDIATELY before reboot, flash SuperSU again from its zip, then byeselinux and RICDefeat. This is necessary because PRFCreator created prerooted zip that does NOT flash all three zips correctly. Then you will have fully rooted .570 official firmware. Recovery can be installed separately (@serajr TWRP recovery for M) - XZDR does NOT work yet on this firmware.

Anyone else noticed the brightness control changes? If I set the slider half way up, brightness is noticeably lower than before.
