After lollipop update can't select dialer (phone or skype)

How to reset the option of calling either via the phone or skype or other app?
Since the update calling numbers go directly to the phone, no choice is possible. I searched many forums for the right answer but no luck yet. Resetting to standard settings is not possible as not active. In the phone account for SIP changing to "for all calls" doesn't help (I don't have SIP account). I tried several other suggestions but nothing worked. Has anybody the same issue or the real answer?
Thanks a lot

Hi and welcome to the community!
I know there was a change regarding this in the update to Android 5.0. With previous versions of the firmware you would get a question which app to use when you used our dialer and there could be issues using the "Always" option (it kept asking even though you selected "Always"). This was fixed in Android 5.0 so i suspect that you need to open Skype now if you want to call using Skype but i'll try to find more information about this.

Xperia Z1 can not send/receive MMS after Lollipop update

Xperia Z1 can not send/receive MMS after Lollipop update, is anyone else having this issue. Any ideas on what I can do to restore MMS?

MMS need a data plan, there are certain carriers/networks that allow MMS to be sent w/o a data plan to their branded/locked phones, you will have to contact your carrier/network regarding this.
Is your phone braded or was it branded? did you flashed lollipop ?

Search Google for "iphone 3g ipsw" (does not matter which one in your case, just need to restore your phone, then can do whatever). Open iTunes with your phone connected. Shift click on "Restore" (Apple click for Mac) and choose the IPSW file you downloaded. That is called a manual restore. Should help you out.

Extreme hang problem in Xperia T2 Ultra Dual after Lollipop Update.

Extreme hang problem in Xperia T2 Ultra Dual after Lollipop Update.Extreme and Irritating hang problem occurs after I have updated T2 Ultra Dual Phone with Lollipop Version.Kindly assist and also if Boot the device will it be solved via flashboot and unlock the bootloader?? Waiting for revert.Kindly revert.

Flashmode or Fastboot mode is only for those that wish to root and install a custom Rom or firmware, if that's what you want to do then head over to XDA - Howwever have you tried a system repair as this usualy fixes issues after an upgrade.
Performing a system repair using PC Companion will often fix issues - This will factory reset your phone and erase all data so best to backup before you begin
Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the on screen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process
If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP

In your mail list, do you see the word 'edit'? If you choose that then you can select whatever mails you want gone and delete them at once.

Moto X 2nd 2014 error after lollipop update

I've got moto x xt1096, and faced with terrible bug after update to 5.0.
Time to time on day faced with crash and restart of stock launcher with error "unfortunatelly google search (or app) has stopped"
I made a topic on motorola forum, but didn't find solution as yet. (tried to make FDR, safe mode, clean cache/data etc.)
Error after lollipop update . All Discussions (996) . MOTO X™ 2nd Gen . Forum . Motorola Owners' Forum
does anyone faced with that issue too?
And maybe someone know any date about 5.0.2 or other update for xt1096, maybe in next update it will be fixed?

Looks like it's been released:

Sony walkman player bug after lollipop update

Sony walkman player has bug when listen to song via headphone bass goes off and sound become very loud and worse...sony should look after this issue.

Walkman is my favorite music player app. I never install any other app to play music. Unfortunatly, this app isn't working properly after Lollipop update. I'm experiencing the following issues: 1. Sometimes volume up/ down doesn't work2. Equalizer and other sound effect don't work3. Sometimes, it play music without any bass4. For 1/ 2 mp3 file the above mentioned issues are permanent. When I face any of these issues, I restart the app/ reinsert my headphone. Sometimes, the problem is solved and sometimes not. Do you have any explanation sbout the issues? Please don't ask me to repair Lollipop. I have already done it. Should I try kitkat again?

Walkman app search not working properly after lollipop update?

Does anyone else have problems with the walkman app search function? Just yesterday it worked fine before I updated to lollipop, when I searched for a song it actually found it. Now it's all broken and can usually find results only when I type in two or three letters. If I type less or more it finds nothing at all even though I know I have those songs on my SD card.
I can find the songs just fine if I scroll through all the albums manually, but that's slow and pain to do...
I updated the walkman app too after I noticed this problem but nothing changed. I also tried cleaning app data/cache but it doesn't help at all.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sony really needed to test Lollipop better. On my Xperia Z3 Compact, after Lollipop installed, Walkman app could no longer find any of my SD Card music using the Search function. It could however still play the SD Card music via the playlist. My best guess is that the index was corrupted during the upgrade, or Lollipop indexes SD Cards differently.
The solution to move SD Card music to Internal storage was a non-starter for me, as the Internal storage is 16GB and I have over 32GB of music on my SD Card.
However, I can report that I solved the problem by:
Connecting my phone to my PC by USB.
Moving all the music off the SD Card and onto my PC.
Moving it all back onto the SD Card.
Time taken : over 2 hours! Thanks a bunch Sony. Lollipop looks nicer than KitKat but wasted my time, apart from seeming to make apps slower and eat battery faster My advice to people thinking of switching from KitKat - don't bother!

Sony default camera buggy after lollipop update unusable sometimes!

I thought I'd fixed this issue by uninstalling loads of Sony built in apps in my z1c but it has happened again, seemingly after I received a movie from the don't movie maker app this morning but can't be sure it is to do with that.
Basically you select camera but the screen that pops up is only the bottom half and the menus are squashed up in that half and you can't select any button to take a picture. I then have to stay using another camera app I downloaded which is slow and lagging. My phone generally seems so buggy now since lollipop too. Things crash or lag and I seen to be forever charging my phone. I've had this issue within my warranty but now that's expired since the 31st may do I'm thinking of rooting as I did with my HTC desire years ago to install my own OS, I just have a Mac do it's not straight forward to do.
Anyone else had this issue with the camera?

it'll be wise to reinstall lollipop as it will smooth things out

After Lollipop update txt messaging stuck on "sending"

Anyone having issues with txt messaging after installing lollipop? reset the phone to default and yet still every other txt message is stuck on "sending".

I get this same problem several times a day. I text constantly so this can be very frustrating. I try clearing the RAM and it sometimes helps. Other times I have to restart my phone. Did not have this problem before the lollipop update. Have done a couple of FDRs. I've just resigned to dealing with it until I can upgrade my phone.

I can't select my phone number for iMessage (-sigh- Yeah, this problem again)

Let me explain the whole scenario:
My iMessage and FaceTime worked perfectly fine this morning.
I turned off my iMessage to check if I would be able to get messages from other iPhones.
My observation is that when an iPhone has their iMessage turned off and someone else who sends an imessage to that phone, their message would automatically turn to "text" messages instead of imessages. (Whoa, that sounds a bit confusing).
Anyway, I turned my iMessage back on and what do you know, I can't click my phone number because it's grey
I'm only able to select my emails. So for "send and recieve" it says "No address" (Because i didn't select anything, I'm waiting for my phone number to 'magically' get selected)
I have tried so many things and it's irritating.
My Facetime worked well, I would turn it off and back on and my number would get selected instantly. And I messed around with it, turning it off and back on to see if it'll automatically choose my number and it did. But I turned it off and on again and now It doesn't choose anything, it just says "Waiting for Activation"
But now after so many attempts of trying to turn it off and back on just to fix this iMessage crap, I can't even sign in to my apple id anymore. It says that I can't sign in and that I need to check my network connection. (I'm using wi-fi. And it's working perfectly fine; My network connection is fine)
So now, I'm really screwed. my iMessage and Facetime don't work anymore.
I'm really looking for a solution to this annoying problem.
By the way, it's an iPhone 4s and my carrier is T-Mobile.

I had the same issue. I cannot tell you why it happend although it may be tied to me changing my Apple ID passowrd.
Regardless, this was the solution for me:
Go to "Settings" on your device (I used my iPhone 5s).
Scroll down and select "Messages".
Select "Send & Receive".
Touch your "Apple ID: [email protected]" (top line in blue text).
Touch "Sign Out".
From the Messages window turn iMessage back on and sign back into your Apple ID account.
Your phone number should now be selected by default. Select the email addresses you also want assoaciated with your iMessages account and click "Next". It will verify your info and your DONE!

Z1 Compact: blank screen after lollipop update. when try to repair i get an error massage (302)

I've updated my xperia Z1 compact to lollipop using OTA service. The phone was new and nothing was installed on it. after the update the screen lock disappeared and I coudn't unlock the phone (the exact same problem the has been dealt with here: https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z1-Compact/Android-amp-All-apps-crash-after-updating-the-OS/m-p/991583/highlight/true#M15970).when I tried to repair my phone using PC Companion i kept getting the "Sony mobile update engine failure error number 302". I used 4 different computers, disabled the firewall and the anti virus, ran it in compatibilty mode and made sure java was installed. all the computers passed the system requirements and had broadband internet connection, still the same error every time.what to do now?

it could be a temporary server issue.
