No more USB OTG on Z3Compact with lollipop

Hi.
Since I've upgrade my Z3Compact to lollipop, l've got no more access to USB OTG.
Test done with 2 USB sticks, 2 cables.
Working on a friend's Z3Compact still under KitKat with those sticks and cables.
Connexion is not detected by the device.

I'm going to flash it tonight, downloading Flashtool again, and roms.

I'll try a branded one, my genuine one, wich is .726, french operator SFR one, instead of unbranded .690, because my phone seems to become crazy:

Battery drain, hot phone, short freeze...

I'm trying with genuine one because of the USB OTG trouble, if I need to bring it back to my operator if the flash doesn't bring it back...

Flash ok with .726 , but still no USB OTG...
Less battery drain, but still here...
The phone seems to be colder...
Some apps crashes...
And when I shutdown bluetooth, the sound stay tuned on it, I have to put it on and off to have the sound with speakers...

I can confirm too. OTG is working fine with Z3C running .726 firmware. Cheers

Hello, since i've upgraded my xperia z3 compact to andoid 5.0.2 i can't use both mhl and otg. The phone just not react when i plug them in.I tried mhl adapter and otg cable (both from sony) on my xperia z3 tablet compact (same os version) and they work fine. Is my phone broken or is it just a software issue ?

Well today I installed the new software update (v. 23.4.A.0.546) and still no otg or mhl on my phone. Still no answer neither from Sony about this issue...
