Did a factory reset... Still not fixed. Yes, it was working fine before that stupid Lollipop update. Might just go back to kitkat but not sure how as I'm not very tech minded.

I only turn on Bluetooth in the car, never in the house. Problem still here, it's really doing my head in now. Think I'll go back to the store were I bought the phone last November as it may be faulty.

Tried them,still no joy. Just remembered that the Bluetooth in my car keep connecting and disconnecting this week also.... Would that be connected to the wifi issue?? Also downloaded virtual router plus to use laptop as hotspot-problem still there,connecting then disconnecting. Is the phone broken?

Wifi working fine on laptop and wifes phone. I noticed that mine was dropping in and out since I updated to Lollipop on my Xperia Z3 two weeks ago. Today,its really bad-wifi icon displays for about 10 seconds then drops out for about 10,then comes in again etc. Reset the router, changed channel...

Great, thanks so much. I'm still getting a notification that the News app is preventing STAMINA mode. Even after I've whitelisted it. I uninstalled it and might try reinstall. Any other ideas?

Brilliant! Under customisation version and active version it says that 1288 number and I see the software version also. Thanks a million. Is there any other advantages of that firmware?

Thanks a million. Phone looks exact same but was just wondering if there was any way of checking that its running a different firmware as it seems exactly the same.

OK,panic over,all I had to do was tap STAMINA mode and it brought me into that first page I posted!!Sorry for wasting your time and thanks for the help. Only thing is I have whitelisted the app that was blocking STAMINA mode yet I'm still getting notifications that its blocking STAMINA...

OK,I tried again late last night. Think it flashed but not sure,it ran the process but as I said I only selected Z2 drivers so not sure if it worked. Anyways,I still dont have the option to edit STAMINA mode so I reckon it didnt work. Anyway of checking it if it did flash? I'm gonna try it all...

Ok,I've downloaded Sony PC companion but it doesnt recognise the phone. I know you said above that I've to do a few other things in order for Win 8.1 to recognise the phone........but thats my problem......what things?I googled 8.1 flashmode but to be honest its very confusing what exactly I...

I downloaded a file for flashtool drivers but the list on it only goes up to Xperia Z2 so dont know if it'll work on the Z3? It took well over 5 minutes for the flashtool to download and now it says 1 hour for Generic UK firmware......that doesn't seem right does it??Just afraid I'll make a...

Thanks for that,I'll try it later. Bit disappointing that I have to go through that hassle,thought Sony would have fixed it. Anyways ,I'm not great with computers/phones so maybe you might help. I'm in Ireland so I'll use the Generic UK link that you use-do I download it straight onto the phone...

As the title says, I'm trying to whitelist some apps so I can run STAMINA mode. I keep getting a notification saying one of my apps is preventing STAMINA mode. But when I go into Power Management, I have no option to add active apps which I have read other z3 owners doing. Mine is the D6603...
