Does anybody here know the release date for Vodafone DE firmware update? I don't speak German so i can't find and check it myself.

Also, what bloatware specific to Vodafone or Germany do you need that much?

You can use the released Customized DE or my IT just fine, you're not missing anything.
[Xperia Z3 General] Lanikor:
Im just not sure if the carrier did something specific to the phone to prevent users from flashing other firmwares or something like that, i dont want to screw something up. Although i know the flashing procedure, i'm not really experienced with Sony phones in that area, that's all.

I know about XperiCheck and XperiaFirm, but both of those show only released updates, not the dates for the next ones that are going to get released.
[Xperia Z3 General] lucianofontao:
Hi friends

After the last updates, (with charging optimization enabled) my battery showed 100% after charge for a long time, but after testing some ROMS this is not happening anymore

Someone would know what's going on?

Thanks in advance

It's all because they removed Stamina :(

I hope they will introduce new battery saving mode in future models instead of telling us the new stamina mode is google's low battery mode.
[Xperia Z3 General] Licaon_Kter:
They won't and they can't, Google is at fault, once because it forces Sony to only use Doze, so Stamina is what it is in .291, and second, Google will push Android N soon, with some improvements in Doze (copied from Stamina), but we did not get any real official info regarding the status of N for Z3, so we're stuck with this unless we get N.
[Xperia Z3 General] chesterr:
Yea I know it's google's fault but other companies seem to be adding there power management into their android without an issue, well IDK

I saw that they have the new white list option in N then again I don't think Sony will roll android N to Z3 since you know how Z1 ended up. :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Z3 General] parthsony2000:
I guess Z3 will receive N as Sony already released preview version and they need to cook up the final ROM.

Sent from Sony Xperia Z3 (D6653)
[Xperia Z3 General] robogo1982:
That is not a guarantee for anything.
[Xperia Z3 General] TheAvengingTITAN:
And yeah... No official nougat or concept for us anymore. Sony already announced what devices would be getting it. Z3+ and above...
[Xperia Z3 General] bodomfan:
Why is it released as a concept rom then for z3
[Xperia Z3 General] TheAvengingTITAN:
The concept rom was for marshmallow
[Xperia Z3 General] Torres77an:
So still no update to the official 6.0.1 for our Z3 ? Was hoping to skip these updates and go to 7.0 but that looks quite bleak now
[Xperia Z3 General] Licaon_Kter:
You mean besides firmware .570, .575 and .291? wat?
[Xperia Z3 General] Torres77an:
I'm not even sure about the firmware numbers just know there was the official marshmallow update which I downloaded but never installed so if we've received anther one there's no way of me knowing except since I'm on here I'm assuming that I would have heard about it already but then I thought maybe not cause all the talk is about Nougat and not getting it now.
[Xperia Z3 General] Licaon_Kter:
So basically there were 3 updates with MM already, in that order.

Get my pre-rooted IT .291 and be done ;)
[Xperia Z3 General] Torres77an:
Can I hide root from my Telus on the Go app ? cause I had problems doing that before and support for that seemed to end

---------- Post added at 08:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 AM ----------

So 3 updates did they bring stamina mode back with full SD card support ?
[Xperia Z3 General] Licaon_Kter:
See those Xposed apps for that, your case is too specific.

Not really, they do have something named like that but it's not what you used on LL, since Google forces Doze on to all, and Doze gets better in Android N (where they copied the Stamina design). On MM you could use ForceDoze+PowerNap (these are Xposed apps) but on my use case, even with these apps, SOT (screen-on-time) went from 6h on LL to 4h on MM.

Not sure what you mean? Adoptable storage maybe? If so, not directly, IIRC the adb tricks can make an SD card adoptable and such.
[Xperia Z3 General] Torres77an:
What is the IIRC ?

---------- Post added at 09:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 AM ----------

Yeah quite specific those Xposed apps stopped working like root cloak I was forgetting the name but it just came to me
[Xperia Z3 General] maple_mak:
You can just google anything if you don't know..... IIRC is "if I remember correctly".
[Xperia Z3 General] Torres77an:
Lol

---------- Post added at 10:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 AM ----------

So the answer is the Z3's mm now does have adaptable storage but maybe not directly, my phone is always getting full and it's nice to be able to just send apps and data to the SD card upon notification of low storage

Will I lose this feature after updating ?

---------- Post added at 10:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 AM ----------

That all sounds horrible why would anyone ever want to update there Z3 to 'M then on top of that No Nougat now if you can blame Qualcomm for that and not Sony or Google it's just a ****y deal all around oh well I guess at least the phone is still quite functional for now until app developers stop supporting 5.1.1 then a great device is ruined
[Xperia Z3 General] Licaon_Kter:
Does not matter how it's named (Google,Sony,Qualcomm) just its actions.
[Xperia Z3 General] alxtorrentazos:
Just my $0.02 guys/girls. I just bought a Z3 D6646 (32Gb LTE model) after my old and trusty Z3C died because I put it in my gyms bath bag (sealed) with towel, shampoo, soap, etc (all wet) for like 5 hours and even I tried to dry it using a heat gun, the humidity was all inside it. anyways......I´m still trying to find how to root this particular model (D6646) (shoey63 is helping me) but in the meantime I´ve installed the latest MM 291 rom via Xperia Companion and what can I say........the SOT is amazing....more than 6 hours!!! I just let the phone shutdown itself and did a full charge to test the battery with a USB Tester and it could take 3200 mAh!!! using the Sony official cable, it charged the phone at 1.51A using the [ Magnector X ] Magnetic Charging Adapter for Micro USB... (copied from the Amazon description).

I´m very happy with this device.....is gonna take a while for me to get used to the new size (I usually prefer 4.6" to handle it with just one hand) and I´m kind of desperate to get root access to install a decent firewall and TB and Xposed of course, but ......to be completely honest with you guys........if we dont have Nougat, so be it.........I dont care......is a f*****ing phone......
[Xperia Z3 General] Torres77an:
Yes we can live without Nougat even though it's more secure with a number of improvements to the notification system but it's not enough reason to upgrade a smartphone yet if you upgrade now then when 5G rolls out in just a couple of years then you will have to upgrade again when the Z3 has covered all the bases in what's needed in a smartphone it would be such a waist to discard this device over the next Android update that's soon to be out of date anyway.
[Xperia Z3 General] Torres77an:
But if it was just a phone it would only make phone calls.
[Xperia Z3 General] chepeliyas:
One question, do you think I will get issues or something by dirty flashing your pre rooted IT over a NCB version? I don't have a computer right now to make a new pre rooted file or to use adb to root the update. And does the IT version have any country specific apps or something?

Thanks.
[Xperia Z3 General] Licaon_Kter:
It should work (if you already have MM).

I guess it has some IT specific stuff, I'm not sure since I flash a debloat script right away. ;)
[Xperia Z3 General] chepeliyas:
OK, thanks. Gonna try it later.
[Xperia Z3 General] Torres77an:
And your prerooted ?? Already has the Doze power nap installed ?
[Xperia Z3 General] Licaon_Kter:
What about it?

Nope, I don't like a modified ROM, just plain, so I can clean it and add stuff as I like.

PowerNap is in the Xposed repo.

ForceDoze is here: http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-forcedoze-force-doze-mode-screen-t3377694

(FYI ForceDoze does not need root, you can activate that DUMP permission via Developer Options and ADB from PC)
[Xperia Z3 General] tatsu91:
Page 6 there's the method

---------- Post added at 09:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 PM ----------

So to know if I understood correctly, first pass the ftf over prf creator just like any other rom to create a Pre-rooted flashable zip "fake" because it doesn't flash correctly the root, second flash this fake Pre-rooted zip, before reboot, flash super su, ric stop and the others zip
[Xperia Z3 General] Bigfudge1980:
I have tried this method to force adoptable storage, however im unsure as of now if it has worked. my total internal storage is now reading -4212531200.00b. so no idea what that is all about, i will fill the storage with some massive games later and get back to you.

Hi,

For the status bar and maybe action bar you can find answer here : https://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/websearch/t_f1xN7ICkw

It's not a mm problem, already issue on lolipop ;)

Only if you use Google now launcher or any launcher uses Google app transparency bar, not sure it's your case.

Anyway I solve it by installing the beta of Google app on my lolipop

I mean that in lollipop the status bar was tinted on every sony apps, like phone, contacts, config and so on

But now on every sony app the status bar is black.

Any news on the 6633 dual?

And I asked before, is it possible to flash the 6603 then the 6633 patch (from custom beta)
[Xperia Z3 General] robogo1982:
That's the one I got. I got all the files from that thread. Opened PRFCreator, selected the FTF, the SuperSU file, created zip, flashed it, then flashed SuperSU (the same one from the thread you linked), byeselinux and RICdefeat. No go.

I guess I'll try RSXW for a while, but I don't like modified ROMs, I prefer to have it stock and then edit it the way I like it.

If I'm doing anything wrong, do let me know.
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
You need to do one additional thing. After flashing the firmware and all zips in recovery, you should SWITCH OFF the phone, and in Flashtool flash the same FTF from which you created flashable zip, and EXCLUDE SYSTEM (and data if you want dirty flash). IF you don't do it, it may bootloop because of bootloader/kernel mismatch..

I did it exactly this way and have rooted MM no problem.
[Xperia Z3 General] robogo1982:
Appreciate the help. I'll try it once more. How long for the first boot approx.?
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
Like 10 minutes. Really super long.
[Xperia Z3 General] robogo1982:
Thank you. I just flashed it all again per your instructions, only to realize just as I was about to flash SuperSU that indeed I was flashing a completely wrong file which just may have been the cause of all problems. Anyways, I just flashed the FTF without system, the phone just started booting, I'll edit my post if and when there are any changes.

EDIT: successful boot at 20:25 CET. Going through the initial setup.

EDIT 2: everything is up and running... more or less. :D thank you all for your help and hard work!

[Xperia Z3 General] Mephistos21:
https://source.android.com/devices/storage/adoptable.html

"[...] external storage media to act like internal storage [...]"

"[...] Apps can be placed on adopted storage media only when the developer has indicated support through the android:installLocation attribute. New installs of supported apps are automatically placed on the storage device with the most free space, and users can move supported apps between storage devices in the Settings app. [...]"

If adoptable storage work like expected, yes app could write to external SD card.

But, it's not extends your internal storage, it's creating a 2nd internal partition.

Android put on it all apps that support adoptable storage ("android:installLocation") if more free space is detected, but you can manually move the apps too (like on external SD card).

So the big difference with existing externals SD cards partition is the automatic uses of more free space.

Unfortunately i can't try now because i don't have my region version of 23.5.A.0.570 :'(

[Xperia Z3 General] Michealtbh:
I know, I had a Z5. The resolution in superior auto is set to 8MP max on the Z3, however it's obviously capable of shooting higher resolutions. Options for resolutions higher than 8MP are available in the Z5 camera app in superior auto mode. This should also be possible on the Z3 (there are even Xposed modules to enable it), I'm asking if Sony have given this option to Z3 users, or deliberately chosen not to enable it
[Xperia Z3 General] Mephistos21:
With Google photo app in lolipop we can take 20Mpx photo. It's maybe not helping you but it confirm that the sensor can do it and some app can use > 8Mpx without root, in stock.

I think he knows that you can set it higher in Manual mode on the Z3..what he is asking is can you set it higher than 8mp in superior auto mode.... It has always been locked at 8mp in superior auto mode... But the Z5 allows higher than 8mp in superior auto mode it would seem.

It is similar to Insider Preview on Windows 10. Version 570 firmware was released as official, and if you are in Beta programme, you will receive beta updates before they will be released in official update.

As for Superior Auto, the reason for 8Mpix limit is that Sony Z3 processor is not fast enough to process whole 20 Mpix image fast enough. It can be however enabled on rooted devices.

The Xperia Beta Program will continue until at least the middle of the year. In other words, as member of the program, you will always receive the best software available—before anyone else—with constant fixes and updates based on your feedback.

Just to be clear, the current release, 23.5.A.0.570, is not the final Beta software for members of the program. Although this version is being released now in a few markets, for members of the trade (operators), it is not the final version for you.
