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. 

PC Companion (PCC)

Bridge (for Mac)

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

Is there a way to directly update the software from 4.4.2 to 5.1?

[RhinoKen]

Am not sure if you can skip the 5.0 update as I went through this version before I got a hold of 5.1.1.

As AutumnCris said, if you don't mind the the REAR camera issue on 5.0 and 5.1.1, you might want to give it a go. 5.1.1 has better RAM management in General.  You might experience the 1/1/1970 date bug on GOOGLE Apps as well. Already repaired phone via PC Companion, performed a factory reset, updated Google Play Services to 8.4.89 etc.. but still couldn't fix this date bug and the Rear camera so to speak. See snapshots below:

I just got word our M2 counterparts had their camera blur fixed. Due to similarities in their framework (some stuff works wonderfully) I tried installing the fix but didn't work.

Sooooo, I did remember a post about the devs escalating and looking into the matter for our model? Would we see the same fix pushed out for the C3 (and T2U because they're basically clone troo...models)?

[RhinoKen]

Any community manager willing to shed us light regarding this matter? Any word on when you will be rolling out an update?

[AutumChris]

A little tip for those with the 1970 Google Apps "bug." Forum mods and vets take note if y'all do not know what is the issue, but this is not a bug. The phone system does not know the real date initially, so all pre-installed system apps (Google apps and all) are defaulted to the earliest timing available in the software. You only see the real time after your Wifi/SIM provides the real date.

1. If you wonder why other apps show the real time, it's because Play Store and Services are launched FIRST on reset/install
2. This does not break anything, so take it as is

I think my phone will discharging quickly after the lollipop update 5.1 I think whether it's my illusion or really it'z discharging soon don't know what it is. How do I check whether my battery condition is good or bad., How many hours for standby time on Web and browsing usage, (my battery discharging 4% for every 15 minutes) pls suggest your thoughts. Thank you

[RhinoKen]

Just turn on stamina mode and activate extended stanby. I usually end up with 35% battery after work inclusive of 1.5 hrs gaming. 

[AutumChris]

Is this battery drain happening when your screen is off? 

[Thiruz]

@ Rhinoken, from 100% it's will drain to 35 % after your gaming,, do you full charge your battery daily

[RhinoKen]

Yep. Became a habit of mine to charge my phone to 100% level 2 hours before heading out for work. Day to day use consists of the ff:. Random calls, texting, gaming
