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

Just bought the phone last may 2015. As soon as the availability update notification for android lollipop i immediately installed it. I got disappointed with the interface. Later this month i found out some problems.
1st: i cant move apps from internal memory to sd card
2nd: i can't set default of where to install or download new app for either internal or sd card
3rd: wifi connection problem - when running facebook app, it stop to load or stopped connecting. I have to reset (off/on) wifi to resume the connection.

How i can revert the android from lollipop to kitkat on my phone xperia c3?
Or if above problems could be resolve i can still continue the current android lollipop.

Hi, Post updating with Lollipop 5.0 I am facing below problems: 1. Mobile become very slow and facing hanging issues. Tried factory reset as well. Still facing the same problem 2. Icons become very large and looks very cheap. 3. Rear Camera blurring issue not resolved and continues in this upgrade also. Have got info that it will be upgraded to lollipop 5.10 in July month. Can you pls confirm if all the above issues will get addressed in that upgrade.

HORRIBLE GPS performance. Shame on you. Sony people.

So the awesome C3's been downgraded to a cheap phone by android lollipop... and here we are expecting a classy, slick update. Before, i can take high quality pictures that i can be proud of. It can even stay toe to toe with other high-end gadgets. Now cheaper phones capture better photos and performs smoothly than my C3. I was expecting a premium update, not a cheap downgrade. What happened Sony?

I was very proud to give this phone to my wife for her birthday last january, it was slick, it was awesome, its Sony. Now last month she asked if its ok to update the phone to lollipop since the phone was asking if it can. Sure ofcourse, it's a Sony device after all. Shame. Photos taken are no longer captivating. Phone's pertormance is no longer feels like a premium device. The Xperia experience isbno longer there...it feels like I'm using a cheap sell-off...What happened Sony? Is this it? I hope not. Please, help us fix this soon. Please. Please. Thank you.

Lollipop its quite demanding and the C3 will struggle, if you consider ART standard in lollipop I don't think the C3 can't handle it.

hey guys, after the update to 5.0 are you all seeing your device memory as this?

Device memory

Total space: 8GB

Available: 2.48GB

No indication of internal storage at all, does this mean it was merged and therefore usable or is it still separate but not visible? Because I have a game the size of 1.57GB to install.

Edit: My phone is of the 2015 model, so all spaces allocated are 8GB. They actually did the merge!
