Z3 Compact - Unlocking & Debranding topic
Hi,
I am going to purchase a 2nd hand, but like new Z3 compact.
Its locked to EE and is EE branded.
I believe, if i grab the Original Lollipop software and flash it, then ill remove the branding no problem?? Can anyone confirm?
And is there a free solution for the carrier lock..??
Thanks in advance.
FYI - I am experienced with flashing and rooting etc, but with Samsung Galaxy S3 and OnePlus one. This is the first Sony phone ive ever had.
Cheers

[Q] Xperia Z3 Compact Phone Dialer (Lollipop) topic
Hi, I am currently using a Xperia Z3 compact Model D5803. I received a OTA update to install Lollipop Yesterday and although my first instincts didn't like it or should I say I preferred 4.44 instead, I seem to be getting to grips with it and it may just stick with me. However I have two major concerns.
1. The Phone Dialer - I don't seem to like the way it looks - I much prefer the one in 4.44 - If you look at the screenshots I attached, when you need to make a call you actually have to press the call button, and then press the little orange button before the dial pad opens. And then the look and feel of the Dial Pad I pretty much annoying. Now my question - Is there any way to change this, I have also attached the screenshot of how it used to look on 4.44, smooth and eye catching. I have heard a lot about modding and rooting etc.. but I am very new to all this. So if someone could please shed some light on this if there is anyway for this to be changed. .
2. Also I have witnessed a significant drop in my battery. I used to get 2 full days if not more by 4 to five hours. Now it seems like I may be lucky if id just manage to see a full day out. Has anyone else experienced this? what could be the cause and what can I try to rectify it?
Help will be appreciated.
Thanks

[Q] Z3 Compact Flashing - Official updates? topic
Hi,
I was thinking of manually flashing Lollipop to my unbranded Z3 Compact in Holland, but I was wondering if flashing the Nordic software for instance will have any effects on further official updates? Can't really find anything about this...
