Sold my Z5 to someone on Gumtree, got £285 for it... Kinda wish I kept it as a spare now lol. But depreciation for phones is savage these days.

Wouldn't say it was much better batterywise. I hear in April the stamina mode is coming back (not sure in what form). I suspect the hardware is the issue...
Can you download the an EE app to -re-enable the feature? Does it need/use and app or just needs an EE SIM?

I had the same issue and just followed this: http://www.xperiablog.net/2016/03/12/install-xperia-marshmallow-using-flashtool-and-xperifirm-guide/
I know not ideal but it works perfectly.
Its an option in the call menu in setting, not an app. It actually works really well because its built into the os
From what i see in XDA its built into the firmware, may be why EE are taking longer.
It is handy for me as i dont have great signal in the house

They won't sell for over £200 sadly because brand new they're worth just a bit more (£267 to be exact on Amazon).
The Z5 is £400 sim free currently, so no chance I'd be getting over £300 for it, even if it is only a few months old.
It is what it is!

I downloaded the one in the article my Z5c is so much quicker now and works well with that.

Have read the camera on this is super poor
Nope. It's pretty good in the right hands, got some lovely shots out of mine.
Low light could be better though.

Been snapping away with the camera for a couple of days some of the pics are really nice others are oversharpened and over processed killing a lot of detail
as an example my Canon 5d3 has a similar pixel count but jpg's out of the Z5 come out of the camera between 2 &3 Mb
the 5d3 has files jpg's around 10-12mb
not sure why they have put so much processing into the images
a couple of the better one's out of the z5

Anyone else with a Z5 Compact? The update has "rekt" the battery life, used to last 3 days now it lasts 1 and a bit, reset for me then!
Updates for everything just seem to make things worse these days.

Battery life seems to same to be since the update.
Mine is significantly worse and no stamina mode either. That's after a master reset too.

isn't there a z5 compact thread?

Never was the best from me compared to z3 compact.
