Dear Friends

I got the message to update the system. My device download the system update for about 976 Mb regularly but as soon as the update finishes, I get again the system message is available and by clicking,it will download again the system update . I have tested it several time but without any success in installing !!! It only downloads !

What shall I do ? please help me.

Regards
[Xperia Z3 General] theduke7:
if your current LP is rooted your device may download the update but will not install it, i doubt it would be any defrent form PC, one of 2 thing can be done, unroot and try again (you can unroot from within SuperSU, or flash a clean LP and update it (but then you wont get root)

or if you now have root and recovery , download a flashable zip from the ones available here and flash it.
[Xperia Z3 General] pmos_hafi:

is the statusbar in Google now launcher black or transparent? ( this is a bug in lollipop)
[Xperia Z3 General] theduke7:
this is strange then.

there was an old trick , go to settings > apps > All > and find Google Services Framework, enter there and clear data and then force stop, after you've done that try the ota update again and see,

hopefully other people have more ideas for you if it doesn't work.

Bluetooth and other issues

More or less everything on MM is working fine, except few things that run me not mad, but definitely annoyed:

- Spotify over Bluetooth sometimes stops playing. There is no clear indication as for why, Bluetooth is not disconnected. Disabling/enabling BT again helps

- Firmware boots quite long (did not debloated yet)

- MinFree settings are really crazy aggressive, phone is actually quite unusable in multitasking without rooting it and changing low memory killer

- Titanium Backup is unable to delete certain system apps, must use root explorer to delete..

- sometimes slightly laggy when opening apps (was not issue at all in LP)

- battery life not so amazing as expected from doze, not bad, but expected more

- annoying icon telling me my data is on ... WTF? Why do they think I bought LTE phone?

- annoying pop-up every time I connect USB. Yes, you can ignore it, but....

For the time it took Sony to publish this firmware, I expected more polished version... So hope for next update.
[Xperia Z3 General] Hackfield:
Hi.

I'm really reluctant to update to MM, mainly because I use stamina mode 24/7 and my battery last between 2 and 4 days, which is amazing.

I don't want to lose such thing, unfortunately, I've heard doze doesn't even compare to stamina (that's why they are bringing it back)

Can anyone tell me how long does the battery last in MM ?

Should I update or should I wait until they bring back stamina mode to MM?

Thanks in advance

kind regards
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
If you are looking for long battery life and Stamina, I would wait. There is NOTHING new, or exceptionally better than Lollipop, that would justify for upgrade. I am flashing this and that out of pure curiosity.

It should... I have flashed 6603 FWs on my 6653 since LP was first released and not had an issue.

I know the 6603 have different LTE bands but that is a hardware thing not software.... From my experience my LTE performance has not been affected having a 6603 FW on my 6653

I am running the 6603 MM concept on my 6653 and it's working fine...no reason to think that the official FW would be any different.

[Xperia Z3 General] lviscaino:
so after installing mm i noticed 2 big issues

first one (and to me this is kind of a deal breaker), i can't find sony's own wifi pairing function on my phone anymore. i tried contacting sony's support and they said i should do a software repair. this might be just sony removing features without telling us, but maybe my install got crippled somehow. i'm not sure if any of you used this function but if anyone knows anything, it'd be appreciated.

second, sometimes when i lock the screen, poweramp's permanent notification is just not there, so i have to pull down the notification bar to access the music. this is just a random weird error that i hope can be fixed.

thanks

Yes, me too, I have no issue with status color.

But, I noticed when I started installing apps I had on my SD from before (older versions) that what you describe appear...and installing latest versions compatible with mm fixed the issue, also I heard from some people that dirty flashing can cause such thing.

That's bad from Sony on an official release I must admit.
[Xperia Z3 General] kioshi:
I'm seeing all these minor problems people are having on MM firmware. Did you all flash with flashtool clean start??

If not, that could be the problem. I did a dirty install from flashtool and phone rebooted every 10 mins. I cleaned flash after and inky problems I have are, status bar not tinted and the camera fish eye. Everything else is working smoothly.

I recommend clean flashing this.
[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
Why is it that after even a minor update from Cyanogenmod you're recommended to do a full factory reset, whereas manufacturers release major Android upgrades and you're generally ok after just a reboot? I always do a factory reset after an upgrade; I'd just never be sure otherwise if any problems I have are down to that, or just a dodgy app.
[Xperia Z3 General] kioshi:
Cyanogen....well that ROM has nightlies or when I use to use to use, nightlies left and right.

I went back to 100% stock to use android pay then used flashtool to flash US firmware and ended up with reboots. Android still doesn't have ota down where it's simple and safe.

Oh well, that's techies life. Haha.
[Xperia Z3 General] cowisland:
I did not do a factory reset, as I usually do after a major update, and amazingly MM has been very stable for me so far (US D6603, got an OTA). Keeping my fingers crossed. I have not noticed any bugs at all. WIFI is working fine, for example. Have not used the camera much though. Battery life is about the same as with stamina mode on Lollipop.

You can flash any firmware on your Z3 if the firmware is for the D6603 or D6553 whatever you have. The CDA doesn't change anything, it's just another customization. Nothing to do with the phone itself.
