Marshmallow on Z3TC, should I update? - Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti

I also asked this in the "Ask Away" topic but I'm not sure who reads that!
I have a wifi Z3TC on Lollipop (SGP611 on 5.1.1) which I'm happy with. Except that it keeps nagging me to update to Mashmallow.
Should I update? Are there any horror stories about battery life, slowing down or anything?
If not, is there any way I can turn off that irritating update nag?
many thanks

Yes

the best u can do for yourself and this masterpiece is to downgrade to KITKAT via flashtool ?
Peace to all

I'm on 6.0.1 super smooth and fast with 6hrs sot. Why is the benefit to downgrading to kitkat?

also supersmooth on kitkat...the benefit is 10-11 hours SOT.If I had to do with less than 8 hours dude,I wouldn't even buy this!If u see the first reviews of Z3C that were while Z3C was on KITKAT..you will see that it goes up to 11 hours.I can confirm this from a friend of mine.He had 7 hours on MM and then after downgrading we went on 10-11 and he is still thanking me ?

As long as performance is up to par. I wouldn't sacrifice performance for battery

as u wish dude..Also don't forget that most people say that smoothness on KK is better both from LP and MM ??

One thing I have to have is screen mirroring. Does that build have that.

yes.both through wifi and mhl cable.but I had problems with mhl.it was showing fine.but wifi didn't work when connecting mhl cable.some say it is cheap cable theme,but I don't know.for wifi mirroring I think it is ok when I tested.(there is also a fix for root users if it doesn't work)I can't help u anymore,but I think if u aren't rooted and have good cable,u. won't have problems.sorry but I don't know further!
Peace to all

Update Flashtool to the last version. At me everything was established. My screenshots.
Is this a beta or something? within one minute of use i see really stupid bugs. I get the feeling sony programmers are really really really retarded.
Nice!!

Sony Xperia Z Ultra C6806
Nice! I didn't really worry about the difference other than the broadband/modem driver is updated (yeah!!) and I have to say I get slightly better reception using this than stock 108. I loaded this, did the One Click Root and then added Superuser and everything is great! Battery life appears good too except that I am running OPG Pro so I don't know how much is OPG Pro and how much is the new ROM. Definitrly worth the troulble to load and try out.. I like it!!!

Is RAW still present on the camera? What about the blurry edges and textures?
Thanks in advance
and A2017G is still with 7.0 without Daydream xD
Good news. Can anybody test if the camera autofocus in manual is accurate now? Thanks
Ok quick update :
Everything is working fine and smooth , fingerprint is faster , no lagging when rotating , and scrolling is butter smooth
Build date is 1 March with march security update
Great job ZTE
What about Whatsapp issue? Is it fixed?
Yes , WhatsApp working fine
Can anyone check the baseband version in the 7.0 build ? , it seem that I'm getting better signal
yup baseband is updated, it was 00090 in 7.0, here in 7.1.1 it is 00095
Just got it on phone. Still no system UI tuner. Everything else seems smooth.
Whatsapp issue fixed.

That update doesn't even have RAW or Daydream features.
Whoa! This thing is flying now!
Well done ZTE!
I'll test the sound now! Let's hear if the volume raised or still the same!
Can I install the US Rom on my chinese variant?
can someone who's flashed this OTA confirm if it does/does not disable the fastboot commands? i opened the zip file and i see a file named fastboot.img.

Zte's stock launcher never had an app drawer man...At least not on Marshmallow.
I think you must have installed Nova launcher and forgot you had it

[root]at&t express 3 running on j120aucu2aqc1 firmware

Im not quite sure if anyone has rooted the most recent firmware so im going to tell you how i did it =)
links will be provided at the end and yeah lets get started
step 1 !!! download the SM-J120A ENG boot(link below)and go ahead and flash it via odin.
DONT FREAK OUT! ITS GOING TO FAIL! Rest assured your phone witll boot back up but when it does you will notice in the "about phone" section of you phone's settings that Selinux is magically permissive......=)=)=)
step 2 !!! download latest Kingroot and let it works its weird Chinese magic voodoo lol....
AGAIN DONT FREAK OUT!! Due to kingroot being the zombie apocalypse of your poor phone, its going to be running like absolute garbage...
step 3 !!! go to the play store and purchase Chainfire's very own SUPERSUME!!!!! it is the best and fastest way to administer the "cure" for your phone and switch that deadly Kingroot for the nice foot massage that is SuperSU. If you're worried about SuperSuMe costing a few bucks then id say you've got a long and worrisome life ahead of you haha its only a few bucks and chances are you have'nt donated to Chanifire yet and should be ashamed!!!! without Chainfire we would'nt have the root we have today period, you all know i speak the truth =)
Conclusion!!!!!!! i know this may seem like a total joke post but i assure you, it is not a joke. this method with put a nice smelling fresh root on your at&t express 3 running on J120AUCU2AQC1 fimware as depicted by the screen shot below. you will also notice that it is running on the tmobile network with Volte, but thats a story for another day....sweet dreams bobbits.....
disclaimer!!!!!!!!! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DEVICE!!! I AM MERELY SHOWING YOU THE PATH TO ABSOLUTION, IT IS VERY MUCH YOUR DECISION TO WALK THAT ROAD....
i assure you this has been tested and retested and you should be just fine and when this method works for you(yup i said it...lol) when it works, hook me up with a thumbs up or something =)

in this case i suspect the update is already downloaded in your phone but not installed .. try hisuite app or the last resort is factory reset... tht should work ...
