Xperia C3 / C3 Dual Lollipop Issues and Feedback

[Uliwooly]

This thread is for C3 users to report any bugs after lollipop, before you do so, try the following:

If your battery drain faster or the phone seems slower or apps are crashing, it'll be wise to reinstall lollipop with PCC

even better if you update deleting all the apps and settings, keep in mind that by doing so, you can not use the backup & restore app to restore anything.

Because of the limited RAM (1GB) the C3 won't get multi user support

"The reason for that multi user functionality has not been implemented is the amount of RAM (1GB) so i'm afraid this feature is not supported on this phone. "

This thread it's not to ask when is the update going to be released in your country and/or carrier network. you can read about it here

One more annoying thing. This time, with SMS messages/ notification sound. For example, I am SMSing with someone. When messagig is closed (not on a screen), I do have vibration and sound. If this conversation is opened on ascreen (including display is off)- no sound, no vibration for the new incoming messages from another person.

I found new glitch!

I tried to call someone with area code 401. whenever I am dialing 401 on dial pad it's giving me an error - "Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped". I can bypass it. I rebooted phone few times with no success. I was thinking to add this number as a contact (temporary) to see if it'll be able to call - but this is not a fix.

I find that after an upgrade niggling issues can arise - So I always perform a system repair and then see how things go

Performing a system repair using PC Companion will often fix issues - This will factory reset your phone and erase all data so best to backup before you begin

Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the on screen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process

If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP

Flash is glitching on main camera. For example- it's set to Auto. It'll flash in dark conditions- once. And no flash after that. In order to get flash again I have to either close and reopne Camera or change flash settings to something else. After that it'll flash again- just once. And I have to play with flash settings again.

I hated my previous Xperia S for bad (horrible) battery life- but it has great camera/ gps. C3 Dual lost all of it. The ony good thing about it (at this moment) large screen.

I was thinking to either buy Asus Zenphone 2 OR BLU Win HD LTE (with Windows phone 8.1). I hope that some possible update from Sony will fix the issues with camera and GPS (I use both daily)- so I can sell it.
