Camera is working for me after latest update. I flashed recent TWRP, then installed manually (OTA just went to TWRP but did nothing as stated above) und wiped Dalvik/Cache.

All fine for me until now... battery drain seems to be better then in the latest builds.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Bore1:
can it then be that there are different camera hardware on z3c -s like maybe some driver issue or something?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] handyflo:
how can i use VOLTE with my z3c with lineageos 16 in the german o2 network? Do i need to install a o2 germany branding? Does it work with this custom firmware in general or only with the oficial from o2?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Spaceoid:
Hi Arian!

I just double-checked the mic-functionality of LOS16 compared to the Z3C on stock of my girlfriend, and it definitly seems as if the microphone (e.g. for WhatsApp voice mails) on LOS16 is somewhat more quiet/does not record as much and as loud as it does on stock. I thought it might be an hardware issue, but I have the same problem on two different Z3Cs with LOS now, as the one I currently use is my second Z3C (i destroyed my first one 2 months ago, but it had the same microphone issue).

With version from 28.08 TWRP is again showing wrong time and date.

Also [MENTION=7384824]mxperial[/MENTION] 's camera module is causing bootloops after changes with camera. Can you fix it guys?

In call volume is super loud that when i check speaker i hear no difference between it and earpeice.

I don't want to be rude, no hard fealings but i feel like recen updates are like step forward and two little steps backward, because in call volume is always being an issue, or other things which were fixed such as camera, time keep, volume auto decreasing are again broken :/

Thank in advanced

Updated to latest build, incall sound is incredible loud again.

Today I had a bit of time, so I decided to go to stock again and start fresh with a completely clean flash. Unfortunately after installing the version from the 28th of August, the camera still doesn't work. I am now on the version of the 5th of August.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] StarGeneral:
I can confirm this... ears bleeding here :D

I have a sound problem when plugin a wired headphone or speaker, a stretching sound is hearable. Bluetooth speaker did work fine. How can I fix it? The hole for the plug seems to be okay

Is this ROM compatible with VOLTE?

I use the German o2 network with a simcard where volte is activated but I don't have any settings to active volte.

Do I need a German o2 branding?

Currently when making a call the network does change for LTE / 4g back to umts / 3g which does take ages.

I have read all your reports and will look deeper into it soon. Currently I don't have much time because I am updating my Daily driver to Android 10 (mostly done though).

Thanks for you patience :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] pawloland:
Have you consieder updating our z3c to android 10 or do you want to make android 9 bugfree first and then maybe start with android 10 on z3c? What are your plans regarding future of this device?

Whatever your decision is, i am very thankful for your work which made z3c reborn.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] NeoArian:
I have started z3c android 10 yesterday but haven't got it booting (failed in an early stage, got no logs at all), there has been something I wasn't able to solve yet according to our sony custom init. I will try it in a few days again. Anyway i think Android 9 is pretty bug free already, this audio stuff is a bad configuration probably not really a bug.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Bore1:
but what could be the thing that camera is not working for some?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Spaceoid:
Android 10 for the Z3C would be insane. I would lose my mind about it, nice!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Alizad00:
hi

wanted to inform that sometimes microphone doesnt work during calls i have to reboot to get it working but it works withing telegram or whatsapp voice messages

and thanks for this awesome rom

edit : also is there a way to make low battery led pulse less frequently?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Spaceoid:
I have noticed a strange wake lock - if I activate BlueTooth, then deactivate it again, a wakelock named "BTLowPower" starts and stays on until the next reboot. Even through deep sleep. The wakelock has a count of 1, though, not going up, only the "time the wakelock is active" goes up. Only a reboot shuts the wakelock down, and after the next Bluetooth activation/deactivation, the wakelock is there again.

download old release

Hi,

First thank you for your wrok.

I installed last rom but i am facing a problem with the camera that doesn't work.

Where can i download old rom from august 5th which seems to work for people facing the same issue.

Thank you
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Bore1:
Its in same place u got latest build just choose the 05 august one instead latest
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] john_matrix:
Hello,

Fantastic work on this ROM, it is my daily driver since months :)

Thanks again for providing us Android 9 on our Z3C!

Only one question, how did you deal for the OTA updates?

I mean, on my other phone (an HTC M8 with LOS16) the OTA updates feature is working but when taping on the "Install" button, the phone reboots into TWRP but do nothing and I have to manually select the downloaded file to flash it.

Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] handyflo:
Some problem by me:

Build in as well as open camera app does not work, any solutions?

I updated to the latest version, no clean install.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] RNZL3R:
I'm a little stuck here and could use some help. I've tried flashing the TWRP version 3.3.1 as suggested, but that doesn't seem to boot on my phone. I can downgrade to 3.2, and that works. From 3.2 I cannot flash this ROM successfully. I get the error 7 (wrong device). What am I doing wrong here?

I'm on Linux using fastboot to flash the TWRP. It sees the device, and as I said. I can flash 3.2 just fine. 3.3 doesn't boot (says it flashes, but it doesn't appear to)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] casouzaj:
I fastboot''ed the file twtp-3.3-10.3.img (available as an attachment to this thread, shown in post #2) to the FOTAKernel partition and can correctly boot to it by (starting with the phone turned off) holding both the power and the volume down buttons. When the phone vibrates (as if it was being turned on), release the power button, and when the screen lights up, release the volume down button.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] RNZL3R:
That's what I did. I think. I used that img, and I ran the command "./fastboot flash recovery twrp3.3.1.img"

Is that the correct procedure to flash to the FOTAkernel partition?

I know how to flash TWRP. I can flash the older version just fine and boot into it. It's just the img from post #2 I can't boot into. When I hold the volume down and power button, it just boots into the ROM. If I re-flash the older 3.0 TWRP, I can hold volume down and power and boot into it just fine. It's just the 3.3 version I"m having issues with
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] casouzaj:
fastboot flash FOTAKernel twtp-3.3-1.0.3.img

It's case sensitive.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] RNZL3R:
Still doesn't seem to work for me.

From a powered off state, I hold VOLUME UP and plug in the USB cable. The light turns purple (or blue? I'm color defficient).

I run the fastboot commands as shown below:

user@GEMINI:~/Downloads/platform-tools> sudo ./fastboot devices
YT9111B7D9 fastboot

user@GEMINI:~/Downloads/platform-tools> sudo ./fastboot flash FOTAKernel /home/user/Downloads/twrp.img
Sending 'FOTAKernel' (13264 KB) OKAY [ 0.460s]
Writing 'FOTAKernel' OKAY [ 0.881s]
Finished. Total time: 1.358s

When unplugging the USB, powered off now, I hold VOLUME DOWN+ POWER at the same time. It then just continues to boot up into the ROM I have flashed. But like I said, if I flash the older TWRP img, I can get into TWRP just fine.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] casouzaj:
Then, I'm afraid that your volume down button might be faulty, because a recovery image sent to the FOTAKernel partition can only be accessed by pressing both the power and volume down buttons. Otherwise, when it's sent to the recovery partition (part of boot, if I'm not mistaken) it can be entered by either software (an app, adb access, etc) or hardware (press volume up when you see the purple led) means, but it seems that the latest TWRP image fails to be accessed by one of those ways?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] dplasa:
Hey there! I have the strange behaviour, that my screen goes black whenever I take a call or make a call. Even if I make a call within WhatsApp, the screen goes black and I cannot see anything...

I can not hang up... always have to wait until the other party hangs up. As soon as the call is finished everything returns back to normal.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] RNZL3R:
Definitely not a broken power down button because I can still flash TWRP 3.0.2 and boot into TWRP. Then if I try and flash TWRP 3.3 I cannot boot. So I re-flash TWRP 3.0.2 and it works just fine again and I can get into TWRP.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] casouzaj:
Other thought: version 3.3.1-0.3 is suitable for Pie only.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Bore1:
could it be that camera not working has something to do with kernel? mine is 3.4.0-lineage-g784c3f5b?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] sugarbrie:
Use emulator app to flash to FOTAkernal

.

I could not flash TWRP to FOTAkernal either using FASTBOOT.

I was able to flash TWRP to FOTAkernal using an emulator app.

The emulator command is.....

dd if=recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel

.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] RNZL3R:
I run this from a terminal on the android phone itself?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] casouzaj:
Yes, or from a command window on your computer, running under a directory where adb is available, and enter:

adb shell

If the dd command fails, try to run it again with root privileges., by entering:

su

Then the dd command.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] RNZL3R:
Still no dice. I ran this from adb AND from a rooted terminal on the phone itself.

I'm giving up on this. I just figured it'd be fun to test Lineage 16 on my favorite z3c, but it's too much work at this point.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] handyflo:
My not working kernel is this:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] NeoArian:
The default kernel should be 3.4.113, the rebased one. Sorry for the current situation, probably the current uploaded 16.0 build had a derp related to camera.

If i find some time i will upload a new build.

Small teaser attached ;)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Xostl:
next week a phone will come to me, is it worth waiting for 10 androids in that period?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Spaceoid:
Oh dear, I can't wait. You are awesome!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] handyflo:
I'm a bit confused, does this mean we can expect a working camera version for LineageOS 16.0 for z3c soon or shall we wait for a fix in LineageOS 17.0 / Android 10 for z3c?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] sugarbrie:
Use EMMA

Likely, there is a lot of left over junk on your phone getting in the way, from lots of use.

What might help is using EMMA to totally wipe the phone and install a fresh clean copy of the Sony Android MM firmware version .291

You'll be wiping the phone to install the custom ROM anyway.

In any event, it is like a new phone with fresh firmware.

Find EMMA below.

With this original o2 Germany branded Firmware i was able to make HD Audio / VoLTE calls.

D5803_Germany_o2 DE_1285-6521_23.5.A.1.291

but after the flash of this custom rom:

LineageOS 16.0 for z3c

all related settings regarding VoLTE does disapear, any suggestion why?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] stefandoesinger:
I am not an expert on this, so this may be wrong, but...

As far as I can see from Google searches VoLTE with third non-carrier firmwares is generally not working because carrier-specific configuration must be hardcoded into the firmware. O2 did this for its build, but if you download an unbranded Sony firmware VoLTE would be broken too.

There are Magisk modules to flip the general "VoLTE enable" switch in build.prop. For the rest you will have to figure out O2's IMS settings and put them in the right place. Don't ask me how to do it; My Austrian provider doesn't offer VoLTE at all, so I have neither a reason nor the means to dig into it.

Good evening, i guess it's time to share an Android 10 build.

It is uploading to: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ephedraceae/files/z3c/testing/

currently bluetooth doesn't work.

Huge thanks to [MENTION=5688409]koron393[/MENTION] who updated the camera shim to Q sources that fast.

I wouldn't recommend to use it yet if you actually use your phone, there could be some bugs but it's a great proof of concept for now :D

Have fun tasting Android 10 on z3c!

About VoLTE: it won't work on Android 9+ since we don't have any recent ims stuff to kang for this platform sadly.

Is there any hacky way to enable/port nfc beam on android 10?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] NeoArian:
I will use this thread until Bluetooth is fixed :P

I will keep updating lineage 17 for z3c.

I assume that one could forward port it but I doubt anyone will.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] dhacke:
And what is with the your lineage build for the z3?

Any plans to support it in the future? Is it mayby possible to make a lineage build with Android 10 for that device, too?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] hrsh45:
+1

audio recording doesn't work at all (same issue with carbon rom, afterwards someone mentioned a semi-fix in carbon thread, i tried that with carbon rom but the recording is very laggy)

video recording, the sound recorded is worse than stock.

another thing (small issue),

when in do-not-disturb mod, key sound & key vibration are still there
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] Xostl:
How often you will be update/fix rom on 10 android, thanks.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] handyflo:
Thanks for the details description about volte.

Too bad the 4g calls are not industry standard and every brand is making his own rules. I'm wondering how apple iPhones could make volte, there is no branding for every mobile provider as far as I know.

I'm using magisk for root, which add-on is suitable for volte?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] handyflo:
Is this to right module?

With this I can enable WiFi calls, but no ims setting a can enter
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] StarGeneral:
I still encounter the issue that my display turns dark after beginning ar accepting a call. It stays darf until the call has ended (that means i cannot end a call by myself) and the phone cannot be activated by the power-button during this time. I already reflashed and did a clean install by wiping everything and sideloading (recent TWRP is installed). Do you have any idea what is causing this?

[MENTION=8746471]NeoArian[/MENTION] I have used updated version of rom for quite a while now, and i experienced critical bug, which wasn't present in previous version of rom. After using phone for some time, app which i use that time crushes, screen goes black(doesn't turn off, just turn to black with backlight on) and phone is totally unresponsive. After ~5sec phone's interface restart and it looks like everything is ok, but after around 20sec, phone turn off (with animation "turning off") by itself and restarts to twrp recovery.Most of the time it happened while watching yt "stories", but also while using fb, ig(probably it is connected to video playback changes you have made).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] frht5382:
Please update camera and instagram ,I love this rom but these necessary for me :( [MENTION=8746471]NeoArian[/MENTION]
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] NeoArian:
Sorry, I forgot to upload the build with the Instagram fix. I will do when I find some time. I am not really sure whether I can fully fix the camera. I started with custom stuff some months ago on Oreo for this device, what is the camera status in other ROMs or android versions? (Since which android version is it broken?)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] frht5382:
Now oreo rom's camera work perfectly.

I try Dui, carbon and omni rom.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] NeoArian:
Since when it works? I thought video recording is broken since Oreo.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] frht5382:
No,Camera and video recording works perfectly now.I try Dui,carbon and etc oreo based roms in februrary.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] tblr0ne:
No, for Oreo/Carbon since changes were made in May 2018 and additional fixes to circumvent problems introduced by Android security updates in August 2018, iirc.

Thank you very much for providing an up to date LineageOS!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] NeoArian:
Okay thanks, just to clarify again :D The camera is fully working on current Android Oreo releases of Carbon ROM? Fully means video recording works without any limitations, also photos shooting is not crashing?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] tblr0ne:
Taking photos was definitely working without any problems.

For videos at least at 1920x1080 in snap (the build in camera app).

4k and HighFPS I got only working in OpenCamera, but didn't test it in detail.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] mxperial:
For me, on oreo, camera is as good as on stock rom mate. Maybe [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION], the Z3C maintainer of CarbonROM, can give you more precise information ...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] NeoArian:
Small Update: Hotspot is fixed and some other changes are included. It is doing a clean build right now. 5GHz HotSpot doesn't work (yet?). The build will get placed in the usual folder in about 45 minutes.

I have an issue regarding latest release of ROM (2019-03-02). I am doing clean install through recovery, wiping all the necessary fields, installing zips in this order: ROM, GApps. The phone loads successfully. But after first reboot the phone reaches the lock screen state and then flickers, entering in a state of lock screen loop. Is there any fix for that problem?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] minixperia:
If you set a password or any lock screen security have this issues..

Try without set a password or other security code on lock screen if it work..

I've test hotspot in 2.4 ghz and 5ghz and work

Tethering bluethooth also work

Sometimes when I watch instagram video the phone restarts in recovery
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] NeoArian:
I will see about the problem with lock screens security.

Does 5GHz Hotspot really works for you?? For me it instantly closes again, 2.4 GHz is fine. Could anyone else test 5GHz?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] minixperia:
In my phone 5GHz work fine, i have tested more than onece..

Instead the camera work when he want.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] 7ig3rsh4rk:
As a workaround you could try "Power button ends call" in the Android accessibility settings.

If it works you could at least end the call from your side.

Edit:

It could be a faulty proximity sensor.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] lord0815:
Hi [MENTION=8746471]NeoArian[/MENTION],

again thanks for the great support and los 16&17 - is there any chance to fix the annoyoing in call volume without waiting for the next release?

I really appreciate your work but this bug occurs very often in updated roms and if we could fix it without waiting for a new rom this would be really helpful :)

Thanks in advance

brgds

andreas
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] NeoArian:
I don't know what is causing this behaviour. Anyway it is not as annoying as you all insinuate it to be in my opinion. If there is no more important stuff i might take a look into it.

I assume that you proximity sensor is broken, so that it always triggers the check during calling. Try to test the sensor with an app like Sensors Multitool.

How should i know what the future will bring :)

When Z3C is stable i will probably update the Z3. It is pointless to release unstable builds for a device i don't have.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Original Android Development] StarGeneral:
Will try that, thank you for your input. If that is the case, the device would be dead for me finally, i dont want to invest further money :(

Solution for broken camera ?

Hi everybody,

Has anyone has found a solution for broken camera present in last build LS16 ? Other than return to 05/08 build because I flashed this build but the idle battery drain is very disadvantageous.

Thank you for your reply.
