Can anyone that has this phone tell me abit more about the multi user function? its something I could really make use off having a business account and main personal account.
Can I setup a seperate whatsapp? and can contacts on a guest account phone through if I am logged into the main account etc?
Hi there,
I got the update to Lollipop 5.0.2 (UK version 23.1.A.0.726) last night and I'm not sure what I've done wrong but I have no notifications on my lockscreen. I have a carrier-unlocked phone, and I'm not rooted and everything is completely stock.
Background: my previous phone was a Nexus 4 so I've had access to Lollipop for a month or so and had it all set up correctly on that phone.
What I would like is the "show cards to say which app has notifications but hide the actual message text on the lockscreen" option. I believe I have that turned on in Settings > Sound and notification > When device is locked > "hide sensitive notification content". That's exactly the setup I had on my Nexus 4 and it worked just fine. I've also set Gmail/Email/Whatsapp as "priority apps" under Settings > Sound and notification > App notification
Troubleshooting guesses:
I have my work email account on the phone which needs Exchange which increases the phone's security, could that be interfering? It already restricts my security options so that I can only unlock my phone with PIN/password, but I had it on my Nexus 4 and I could still get lockscreen notifications
I have stamina mode on, but I have whitelisted Whatsapp, GMail and Email to allow them to continue working
What currently happens is I wake my phone and get a completely blank lockscreen, swipe up and type my pin and then when I go back to my homescreen I have notifications in the notification bar. I'm getting notification sounds and a blinking LED, even when the screen is dark, but I wake the phone and see an empty lockscreen.
What am I doing wrong? (Sorry for my noobishness).
it's because of the exchange/enforced pin settings, see my reply on this thread

I had a nexus 4 like the OP and notifications worked fine on my old phone running lollipop but now I have changed to the xperia Z3 c notifications don't work using the same exchange settings, so it seems to be related to the phone not the android version.

there is an issue/bug/feature in the z3c lollipop version, whenever you're using enforced pin security the notifications are hidden, there was a whole discussion about this on the official sonymobile forums with a lot of angry people who updated their z3c to lollipop and now don't see notifications because of those settings, so i'm afraid i must insist that it has to do with lollipop, must be something the sony dev team tweaked

Sorry, that's what I meant. This is not a generic lollipop issue, or related to exchange, this is something specific Sony has done to the version of lollipop on the Z3c, i.e. Sony not Google.

exactly, and the way to resolve it [until the next firmware update whenever that comes] is to use a 3rd party software, either that or downgrading back to kitkat
Solved!
Ok, so I've read your replies and had a few days to think and to google and I've managed to get notifications working on the lockscreen with an Exchange Active Sync account. I have Lollipop 5.0.2 (UK version 23.1.A.0.726), I do not know if this works for other versions.
Ok, there are three ways to get the lockscreen notifications working depending on what you prefer:
Method 1 - Simply re-add your Exchange account
If you like using Sony's email app to access your work emails then according to a thread on the Sony help forums (can't link, no link privileges) then do this.
Go to Email > Settings > Delete account. (That doesn't delete your emails, just your phone's access to them).
Go to Settings > Apps > All > Exchange Services and clear data/cache.
Restart phone.
Go to the Email app and re-add your work account.
Settings > Sound and Notifications to configure your lockscreen notifications.
Method 2 - Download a more up-to-date version of Exhange Services
AOSP Lollipop added the option to let the GMail app handle your Exchange email as a separate account within the app. This is what I'd become used to on my Nexus4 so this is what I've done on my Z3c. The version of Exchange Services that Sony bundles with Lollipop is 6.1, but there's a more recent version that you can download from apkmirror.com.
Here's what I did:
Go to Email > Settings > Delete account. (That doesn't delete your emails, just your phone's access to them).
Go to Settings > Apps > All > Exchange Services and clear data/cache *and* disable it.
Restart phone
Go to apkmirror.com on your phone, search for "Exchange Services" and download Exchange Services 6.5-1729047. Install the apk.
Open the GMail app > Settings > Add account. You now should have an option to add an Exchange corporate account. This will not merge your work email with your GMail account, instead you'll be able to toggle between the accounts.
Finally, Settings > Sound and notification > to set up your lockscreen notifications.
Method 3
Download an alternative email client as various others upthread have mentioned.
I hope this helps
P.s. Usual disclaimer about doing things at your own risk etc ...

Does anyone know how to configure SIP account using the android builtin SIP client. I cannot find any setting in phone or any help on internet regarding this. I do not want to use external apps, they drain a lot of power.

Same issue here with a P10 Lite. I've installed an app which supposedly has a shortcut to the SIP settings, but it just gives me the general dialer settings. Looks like Huawei removed it for some reason?!
I bought the 128gb / 6GB unlocked Chinese version. It works well in the UK on 4G (Three network) but there are a couple of niggles:
1. Voice input from stock keyboard does not work. Clicking the microphone does nothing. Installing a third party keyboard like GBoard does not even show the microphone. Another third party keyboard shows the icon but with the microphone greyed out.
I cannot figure how to resolve this as there are no options under language input settings or within individual keyboards.
2. Google Contacts are not being synced to the phone contacts. Going into the accounts section of stock contacts app does not show the google account. Trying to subsequently add it just tells me that this account exists on the phone.
Any help appreciated.
BTW - other than this, it is an outstanding phone.

Hello everyone,
I have set up 2 users on my Android, one user has no gsuite account and one user does have.
The Google assistant works perfectly on the main user without the gsuite account until I switch to the other user, of course because the Google assistant does not support gsuite.
However, I did not expect that this would affect the main user, because whenever I go back to the main user the Google assistant stops responding to access with voice match and sometimes also to squeeze actions.
Trying to go to settings to reactivate the "access with voice match" does not work.
This issue is resolved temporarily if I turn off and on the microphone access for "Google" and then turn on "access with voice match".
Any suggestions or workarounds to bypass this?

If your other account with GSuite is a work account, you can setup a work profile on the phone.
This is a Google issue that they have not fixed yet.

That's what I did, but when I go back to the regular profile (the owner user) the ok Google detection turns off, see the original post for explanation.
