Sony Z3

[biometrics]

did the update last night and it worked like a charm. Lollipop is pretty awesome!

Did you get the "no service" on the top left at all as reported in the Z3 compact thread?

 

[MaximusZA]

nope mine is working 100% so far. i will update if anything goes wrong.

I downloaded the Baltic version, was that wrong? Everyone got the Nordic one

 

[MaximusZA]

i think either one will work

 

[skinndeep]

Thanks, was a stupid question

I'm thinking about getting a Z3 when it's upgrade time in a few months but Vodacom appears to only have the 16GB version, not the 32GB. So how are you guys getting along with your 16GB? I currently have a 8GB Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini and it's memory is woefully inadequate and likewise the display model of the Z3 at the store was showing as completely full with barely anything installed on the phone...in fact I have more on S4 Mini. So I was just wondering how people that actually have the phone are getting along with it's limited memory?

Depends what you do. I don't use it for music or movies so it's fine.

I got 16gb and have no problems. All my photos and music on a 32gb sd card so Shap. Got around 30 apps installed with 3gb available internal.

How long did your flasher take to convert the download into a flashable firmware? It's taking forever

Well yeah, but some of the larger games use almost 2GB by now. I need to be able to accommodate 2 or 3 of those and a couple of smaller ones and some other apps.

I curse whoever removed Android's app2sd ability on an almost daily basis.

I dropped my Z3 today

Good thing though the screen did not crack. Only thing that has a chip out now is the bottom left corner thing

 

[Hazelbag]

If I flash my z3 with the firmware will I still be able to update via setting, about device when new firware comes out?

Had to use the Sony PC update software last time anyway.

 

[Hazelbag]

So I just download thr Nordic version?

I am also wanting to get the Z3. Due for a upgrade end of this month.

So I flashed lollipop onto my z3 and it seems pretty neat compared to kitkat.

Does it affect better life in any way?

I have also seen there is a South African version available is that kitkat or lollipop?

My battery life has taken a big knock, drains to 50% at the end of a work day when before I updated it was at low 70s to high 60s

Same here. Did you do a factory reset after you flashed Lollipop? Might help

 

[skinndeep]

No I haven't, will do now
