Sony Z3 Compact - The best little Android in the universe

FFS, why is mine not picking up the update, neither via the phone nor via PC companion?

 

[RiazK]

Same here, Vodacom and Mtn aren't picking it up.

Try forcing it to refresh. Settings -> About phone -> Software update. That's how I picked it up...

 

[Naks]

Tried 'Refresh' many times, even restarted the phone, no luck

Same - haven't tried PC Companion yet though

Same... What else does PC Companion do? Don't love installing useless apps to be honest

It's the official phone management software from Sony.

No luck btw - still says no new update.

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

OK so when is 5.1 coming out? I want the proper silent mode back. Pressing the volume button to get to silent mode is retarded...

 

[Ffosse]

I haven't checked mine for an update....why has it taken Sony so long? They said January, then March, is 5.0 just coming out now 6 months after the phone itself?

Will be selling mine and putting whatever I get towards an S6 Edge.

Has anyone on MTN or Vodacom got Lollipop on a Z3 (or Z3c) yet? Looks like it is just CellC that has it? If so, maybe we shouldn't be so quick to criticise Sony but rather it is the network testers who are slow?

Got it on MTN...

 

[Nips]

Got it on MTN...

So its Vodacom who are slow? Any comments from @VodacomData

 

[RiazK]

I got one phone on MTN and one on Vodacom. Neither received the updated. Maybe it depends when you got the phone or what firmware u currently have on the phone?

Do you have the Z3 or the Z3c? I wouldn't have thought it would make much difference since they are essentially the same (I'm often told that size doesn't matter)

 

[RiazK]

Z3c

 

[RiazK]

Maybe it has something to do with the serial number? The vodacom serial number ends with a V. Does yours?

 

[Nips]

Nope. Mines from Vodacom and ends in L. does anyone know of any Z3 with the update. Seems maybe it is only the Z3c that has it so far.

My Z3c Vodacom doesn't have it. Haven't tried PC Companion though

 

[Rands]

Still don't have the update on MTN for the Z3C?
Anyone else got it?

 

[GreyBush]

Just do the workaround mentioned earlier, most have had it for weeks
