Does anyone know if the Xperia Z3 supports MirrorLink?
I have a xav-602bt car head unit and would like to know. Currently I have the Xperia Z which works fine. The website with the list of compatible phones says the Z2 and Z1 work but I don't know if the site just needs updating or if in fact the Z3 is simply not supported!

hi guys,
i just purchased a dual sim sony Z5, model #E6683, its a chinese variant. everything is fine except for the camera interface, its not like how its suppoosed to be, there is no manual mode options or anything that sort which the Z5 should carry, if any of you can share the proper camera APK and guide me how to install it without rooting, that would be great help.
thanx a million

This is known. All Z5s and Z5 Duals are shipping currently with Camera 1.0 App. They have yet to update to their newest app (which they demo'd at the release). They expect it to roll out sometime in Nov 2015, if not with the android 6.0 marshmallow update.
I recently buy a xperia z5 DUAL but i discover that the bootloader was unlocked....:crying: so im very disapointed because i contact to sony support an they said me they cannot help me with the DRM keys so if anyone of the developers can make a DRM Patch like z3 and prior devices. it´ll be awesome please
ovbiusly for the z5 DUAL
yesterday i was walking down the street, just regular business. then i looked up and stared at some clouds and i swear: one of them looked like obama!
Unfortunately Sony has disappointed us as usual and shared its official list with the devices that will be updated to Android 8.0 and our device is not included.. The update starts from Xperia X and higher [emoji115]
• Xperia X
• Xperia X Performance
• Xperia XZ
• Xperia XZ Premium
• Xperia XZs
• Xperia XA1
• Xperia XA1 Ultra
• Xperia XA1 Ultra Plus
• Xperia Touch

We wait for third party ROM.

That's bad. It should be updated... :'(
Nevermind, LineageOS & crDroid will (and Carbonrom, AOSP, etc..). Honestly, since we can install most of the Sony apps on these roms, there are not much advantages to use stock roms, but there are many advantages to use the former...!!
Yesterday I asked on the Sony Chat if there is an update next Nougat 7.1.1 for the Xperia Z5 and they said me yes.

It's not official yet.
It doesnt matter if our z5 is capable of getting Oreo update or not.
Sony has 24 months or how much to support their devices.
I strongly believed that we were going to get Oreo update, as you all know Z5 has no problems whatsoever, and believed sony will make exception and support to our device, but i was wrong.
Oreo update with the XZ1 ui would be really really refreshing for our device.

I guess it's not uet final. The announcement was for devices that will be updated first.
But no official announcement that Z5 update will stop. Let's wait and see..
Sony is very generous...hehehe

Z5 might receive Oreo, just not from Sony.
It might well still be a good thing tho.
The Z5 has been out for 2 years, received 3 major OS updates (5.1.1 to 7.1.1) and timely security patches.
Honestly, I prefer well-built and stable updates to poorly-built and full of bugs ones.
Just look at how we received Nougat, the 32.3.A.2.33 update was a joke (they tried to push it out as soon as possible).
Even now the 32.4.A.0.160 (most stable of Nougat) is nowhere near as stable as 5.11 Marshmallow.
So yeah, it might be a good thing not to have half-heartedly developed builts (the XZ line is way more popular to non-Sony fans btw)
Also, we have some really devoted and dedicated developers for our device (kudos!), who revise their codes every single day and fill their ROMs with lastest Google security patches.
Oreo will come to the Z5 for sure, not just from Sony.

Xperia L1, XA and E5, too? Yeah, sure. Hell would rather freeze over. It's most likely a clickbait article, that's all it is.
humm, probabely.. you're right

Nothing surprising: after 2 years vendors usually stop updating firmwares. Most of Z5 line owners already knew that Nougat would have been the last major release.
Now there's space for AOSP.
Can you, developers, help the Xperia Z3 with porting a working version of Xperia X camera for us?
I love Xperia Z3 because it has almost everything lacking camera software
Hope you will help
I believe you can
Thank you in advance

I don't think this is going to happen, due to both the phones having completely different hardware

It's possible
Since Xperia Z3+ and up all have the same camera sensor and used the same software on Android 6

I know that
Z3's software and hardware are similar to those
Plus other OEMs are launching their mid-range phones with Camera2 API enabled and fully implemented
