Feedback: Lollipop on Z3 / Z3 Compact

Hi there,

i would be great if ther we're a central discussion / feedback thread for Lollipop on our lovely Z3 / Z3C!

XDA Thread: Lollipop Is Rolling Out, What's Your Impression? List Bugs Here

Here are some points i noticed:

- No Access to Settings for toggles directly via Quick Setings (only WLAN/Bluetooth) as before.

- No cleaning all apps with single button in last apps.

- No option to deny WLAN AP to connect, if they dont serve internet on Z3C (it seems the Z3 on 4.4 have it)

Settings is available if you pull down. Look top right. Gear-symbol.

I'm sorry i was a bit unclear, with 4.4. kitkat it was possible to access stamina settings, and 4g settings directly for example, now its only available with wlan / bluetooth switch.

You can add some quick settings there,like stamina and location and some others. There is a small pencil that allows you to edit.

@Alex I think he means the way we were able to access specific Settings from the quick shortcuts by longpressing...

I.E.

Longpressing the Stamina Icon on quick shortcuts will open Power Management on Settings...

Longpressing the Brightness Icon will open Display Settings...

I might be wrong since I still do not have Lollipop on my Z3C... but I am really NOT eager to update... I think there are quite a few losses, and so far my device is working good

I miss that functionality too, it was great just to long press the icon to take you to that specific settings page instead of going through menus.

Yeah,if that's the situation you are right. But for wifi it works, if you tap below the signal icon. Same for bluetooth. Others don't work unfortunately.

Dear Sony, I would like to ask for following features for next Android update:

- Possibility to set frequency of notification LED, 5s is almost useless.

- Close all apps button

- Ability to get to quick settings when pulling in the right side of the display, not to first open (often empty) list of notifications.

- Improve brightness of flash LED when using it as a torch (30%, really?)

- Use Volume Buttons long press as next/previous when playing music

- When I switch location off and later on again, I would prefer it would keep previous settings (Now it does "battery saving" -> turn off -> "off" -> turn on -> "high accuracy")

- DoubleTap to lock

- Ability to configure buttons (e.g. back on the right, apps on the left, add search...), lockscreen actions

- Option to remove diacritics in SMS apps (keyboard feature)

Thank you for (5.0.2)

- letting us move apps to SD Card

- ability to write/move files for 3rd party apps

- Garmin Nav
