I'm normally hesitant to install any app with mixed reviews, or if the score is under 4.

I've used it plenty of times to play music. And so many albums of artists that I forgot about.

It works for me.

Anyone got a magnetic charger, and which one did you get?

I ordered this adapter from Amazon and hoping that it works well. Didn't want a proper cable as I don't like having to carry two separate cables around...

Got something similar from eBay, although it was about half the price! Hasn't arrived yet though...

Has anyone seen any nice covers in and around Cape Town? I'm using this one but don't really like it.

Nice.

Android 4.4.4 - fixes a lot of bugs from 4.4.2 and most probably the best Android ROM to have on any phone.

Lollipop is a mixed bag right now. Some manufacturers are now releasing 5.0, others are releasing 5.0.1 and then some are going straight to 5.1, which would be my choice as well.

Ah, so it's enhancements for Sony's own software on Android.

Nice to see Sony is quick with the updates....

The update was 270mb, 3 minutes OTA. It fixed the opening the camera bug and getting a pop-up when Google voice is active, but hasn't remedied the same with the FM radio. You can still listen to the radio, but have to disable the always on Google voice.

Thanks, big update for only that. :eek:

I use the normal Google Search, so won't have a problem there.

Updated this morning, took around 15mins maybe... Not too sure what the update is, probably just ironing out bugs etc. Lollipop should come in early Jan according to reports

And you said my German leather case looked a bit foreign..? ;)

I only bought it because it was the only one available.

This white Z3c is such a beautiful phone, I don't really want to use a cover at all.
