Any method out there to enable flex storage?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] tomzzi:
Battery life not so great...

Android OS and Google services draining battery.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Bartekreaper:
flex storage? What is that? Maybe you mean adoptable storage, it's possible to enable it by xposed and systemui patcher module.

it is possible to do external SD card to write. now is read only so backup from TB doesnt work.

Edit:

I just come back to 5.1.1

Im very disappointed. true is all work but External SD Card just read only??? How can put that with that many bugs like official rom? SONY SONY this way is wrong.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] MechaBouncer:
I'm going to attempt this method that is being used on the Xperia Z5 Compact:

http://xdaforums.com/z5-compact/general/tuto-enable-adoptable-storage-mm-t3334153

Not sure what to expect from it. I hear it's buggy and that some apps don't properly see the SD card. I've been waiting for this for a while and have a fresh 128GB card to test with.

EDIT:

One thing I noticed immediately upon updating with my old 64GB MicroSD card is that any apps I had installed via App2SD are not inaccessible and there isn't a means of moving them back to the phone to fix them. So it appears that I will need to uninstall all of them and reinstall them. Great. I think I'll wait until I put the blank 128GB card in.

PSA:

So warning to anyone using App2SD, move your apps first before upgrading because the upgrade process won't do it for you (which it should if the feature is now gone).

EDIT2:

Wait, it looks like I can move them to Internal using the "Storage" option in each app. I'm going to give that a try and then attempt to format the 128GB card when I get home as Internal storage.

EDIT3:

Formatted my 128GB card as adoptable storage using the guide, but it's showing the total space as a negative number. Not sure what to do about that.

EDIT4:

Despite the negative number for total space, most things appear to be working other than the camera. It cannot detect the original internal storage, the new internal storage, nor the SD card. Not sure if partitioning the card as mixed would have helped. I might try that.

It seems that moving apps to the SD card requires adopted storage now, but it really does appear to move it all to the card. I've had a noticeable change in used space when moving apps on both the internal storage and the SD card itself. I really wish Sony would have left this in from the Concept firmware.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] spidr:
atm only bad impressions about this update.

I cant turn off the voice navigation in google maps no setting only to set it loud medioum soft...

I also find design flows everywhere. Hopefully sony will correct those issues because i can live with lollipop too.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] MechaBouncer:
I've had some better luck using mixed 25 to get 32GB FAT portable and 96GB EXT adopted. The amount of storage still reports as a negative value, but migrating the data mostly works. I can move apps to either partition, but moving them to adopted storage seems to move more than going to the portable partition. The camera cannot see the adopted partition, but can access the portable partition. It appears that Google Music cannot see the adopted storage, but can see the external SD card storage. I hear that Google Photos cannot delete images from external SD card storage and it seems to be the case. There are certain things here and there that don't quite work correctly, but it's still a major improvement over how limited I was on space before.

Now another bug I have found is that the phone does seems to resent the USB connection mode every time I connect a USB cable so I need to select it every time. This can be a bit of a chore most of the time because I usually just want MTP mode. I can see that it remembers the setting in Developer Options, but it doesn't obey it. This is especially annoying when I use it in my car as I have applications for mirroring the screen on my head unit, but it's a hack at the moment and I have to wait until after I put the car in gear before I can connect it. Now I have to do that and select the right USB mode on the fly. Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing to stop if from asking me every time?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] boojay:
Thanks for keeping us posted. I do hope someone comes up with a surefire and hassle free way of enabling adoptable storage. That's the biggest thing I miss from Concept.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] pioneercrazed:
I've got a D5803 and just updated two days ago to the official OTA marshmallow update and have noticed the STAMINA mode has disappeared. I've read that this new Android version has "doze" which emulates this but I have noticed a serious hit on battery life with this update. Anyone else having the same experience? Apps seem to open quicker but this means nothing if my phone is dead half way through the day. Also a lot of my apps on secondary home screens are missing but I'm assuming this is because they were on SD card. Hopefully SONY comes out with an update with STAMINA mode reactivated.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] javierdsv:
Sony said STAMINA showed no improvement on battery life on MM, so they took it out. Yep, I agree Doze is not doing the same job, so I guess third party apps are the only choice this time around. I don't think STAMINA is ever coming back.

If they released a beta version as official (still lot of stuff to fix), we are yet to see other disastrous moves (like killing the Z series? lol)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] tomzzi:
Same with battery life...

Big battery hit after update even after few days of use.

Yes battery is awful. Just one day with 3.5h SOT compared to 5.1.1 where I get 6h SOT over 2 days for my moderate-heavy usage

Also Bluetooth loosing connection which is important to connect my Martian Notifier SmartWatch while I'm at work. Back to Lollipop for now

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Cronis:
Just got the MM update and man is it fast! This phone is flying along, everything just feels snappier without the little bit of lag I occasionally got with previous versions of android. Battery life seems good if a little better then I remember. Can still get a solid 4ish days without a charge under moderate use (streaming audio 4-6 hours and some light web browsing). Can't comment on the camera, except to say I like the interface changes which really cleaned things up and it boots up a heck of a lot faster now.

Is there a way to flash the update manualy? Will it be the same as OTA Update?

If there is no any German relase then no. But you can flash any other ftf and everything will work.

hi i have a D5803 and i m in Hungary, Europe.

i would like to download a firmware with xperifirm, than flash with flashtool, with no wipe

which region / country should i download? LAM or USA or what is the difference?

thanks !
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Bartekreaper:
There is a difference of some or hundred mb of bloatware and maybe some usefull apps? :cyclops: The most "debloated" version is Algeria Algerika DZ and GND Telecom DZ 1,46gb :victory: and version with biggest ammount of bloatware is USA Customized US 1,64gb :silly: for now of course, until more versions will come out.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] judit740521:
it must not be a customised version?

algerika DZ and GND telecom are unlocked versions too? or these are phone companies who modified the programm? i dont know which will work fast on a Central Europe phone.

maybe i try USA and delete bloatware.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Bartekreaper:
I dont know this :( The best way is to flash USA version and debloat it.

Btw Im not using stock pre-rooted firmware now but SLIMM 1.0 based on MM .570
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] judit740521:
why is SLIMM rom better ? i read that it has not all the functions.

is it worth to use this? i have a phone with guarantee, i dont want to loose it, but i have an instruction manual in my own language, if it is worth i will read and use it

i hit the thanks button, did it count for you ?

thanks !
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Bartekreaper:
It has more features, there will be more soon. It's pre-rooted, with recovery, debloated, deodexed and with superuser mod.

You won't lose guarantee, just use any tut how to root and install recovery on locked bootloader.

Hi XDA - long time listener, first-time poster :o

The US OTA upgrade has been pretty awful for me. I'm experiencing serious signal-dropping, and now get negligible 4G coverage (this is on Ultra/T-Mobile). In turn, this is killing the battery - down to a single day from 3 or 4!!

It has also become flaky about sending text messages. I *think* it might be that if it has no signal at the time, it doesn't try again later.

So, I now can't reliably text or get data, and the battery dies in 1/4 the time. Great update...

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Chamelleon:
[MENTION=7419542]retzie[/MENTION]

I saw stranger things after update. For example first wave of GT-I9300 OTA's to 4.3 was so bugged that good phone became completely unusable after update. Making hard reset after update fixed most problems, not all cause 4.3 for I9300 is really f.up but it was usable again.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Kev1000000:
I am also experiencing data loss with the concept ROM. It seemingly happens randomly. Every once in awhile I get the exclamation mark on the LTE signal and have no data.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] retzie:
Huh. For some reason I thought they'd put more effort into an OTA! /naive

One day after resetting and I am cautiously optimistic (barely touched it, so we'll have to see how it goes when I actually use it).

First impressions of 6.0.1

Hello ....

First post here on XDA, long-time follower.

Z3 compact (D5833) owner in UAE.

No update here in the UAE as of date... So the impatient geek that I am, I flashed a linked Australian Generic FTF from XperiaBlog.net

It's been less than 24 hours since I've flashed. So far, awesome performance, buttery smooth, blazing fast, and very fluid experience. :)

Batter life so far is just amazing. 3 hours of SOT, WiFi on for almost 5 hours, then 3G on for almost 3 hours, and I've experienced only a 50% drop. :cool:

I'll post information about the performance from time to time.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] retzie:
Just stopping in to say that all is now well :)

Not sure how much this was contributing, but it looks like the OTA messed up my APN settings - mine had been replaced with the T-Mobile ones (a quirk of subscribing to a third-party service on their network?). Between fixing that and the hard reset, I am back to 4G data, reliable reception, and excellent battery life :victory:

Is it battery life like in kitkat?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] retzie:

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Cronis:

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] omnia0815:
i flashed the nordic rom, while flashing i kept my user data. German language is implemented.

First impressions are good, seems to run smooth. Different is now the LTE sign which says now only "4G".

Had a first crash of the camera app, the app has now the same look as on the z5 series. Automatic mode only with 8MP, HDR only possible with 8 MP. Advanced options in manual mode are more difficult to get on, you always need to tap on the "more" button.

Battery is still charging, so i can not talk about battery life yet.

All my other apps seem to work.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] lallolu:
Is the update released in the nordic yet? I live in the nordic but I have not received the update.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] omnia0815:
Yes, it's called nordic combined. I loaded the rom via XperiFirm and flashed it with the latest flashtool.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] omnia0815:
There is no still no German version out. You can use the nordic combined (i did so), if you don't wipe your user data everything will work. But it's a non-branded version, i don't know whats the difference between non-branded Customized and Vodafone version. Do you want your branded version?

Es ist noch keine Vodafone Version und auch keine andere deutsche Version draußen. Du kannst die "nordic combined" nehmen (habe ich auch gemacht), wenn du deine User-Data nicht wipest läuft alles wie zuvor. Leider weiß ich nicht wo der große Unterschied zwischen der nicht gebrandeden Customized und der Vodafone Version sein soll. Willst du denn wieder eine gebrandede Version?

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] caiquejd:
I don't know the others, but I'm using from 2 weeks ago, and I do not have any problems.

And the battery is almost the same thing from Lollipop for me.

The system is STABLE, do not fool yourself because of the name "Concept".

Pros: Fast system, good animations, better security, doze (better battery in theory), option to use microsd as internal, without bloatware.

Cons: Dont have Fm Radio (in last 3571).

EDIT: I was telling about Concept ROM, and this is Official Stock Thread. My mistake [emoji26]!

Tried out the US fw on my D5803. Generally smooth, fast performance but there are minor stutters and frame drops in certain applications. Battery life is better than lollipop, but still not as good as Kit Kat. Camera quality and experience seemed to have suffered in this update. The app crashes quite often, and quick launch sometimes won't work. The camera seems to have trouble focusing sometimes and exposure get's stuck and won't readjust.

This not the the same as lollipop where the mobile data connection is keeping applications awake?

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] lallolu:
The update seems very good to me. I like the double tap to sleep and wake. It seems Sony has now added proximity sensor check to double tap to wake so that the phone does not wake in the pocket. Hopefully , I am right because due to administrator settings, my work phone resets if wrong pin is input 10 times.

I went back kitkat after trying the new mm and also the concept version. Very happy with the overall performance. I think kitkat gives the best performance for this device.

i will update MM in next version after sony fix bug already.

Thank you
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] ikaros78:
I had MM as OTA install for my Z3 Compact couple of days ago. It feels fast and smooth so far. However, there is one major issue for me. My secondary microphone stopped working correctly around 6 months ago and people kept saying they did not hear me properly in calls. I managed to fix the issue by disabling noise suppression in Call settings. However, such setting does not exist in MM and now I am stuck with a phone I can't use for calling. :/

Any ideas how to fix the issue? I'd rather keep MM but perhaps flashing back to Lollipop is the only option...
