[Sony Xperia M2] obsidian_eclipse:
Well I've finally received the OTA update for lollipop on the O2 network in the UK (yesterday). No hitches at all installing, it took about 45 minutes all in all and all the apps installed in kitkat work without a hitch (as an experiment I haven't even performed a factory reset). The phone seems to be far quicker than it ever was when opening apps and dare I say it, the battery much better, my phone was 100% charged yesterday at 9am, update dropped 11am, afterwards I was on 77% battery and I've used it fiddling about with settings and using apps as usual, by midnight the battery was at 25% which is great considering!

The only annoying feature is the notification for storage memory being 75% full and I'd really like to disable that (but I can't root because some of the apps I use won't run on a rooted device). The camera seems identical to kitkat on mine and gps works ok. All in all lollipop is great on m2.
[Sony Xperia M2] xazakasrizava:
If it's not a problem could you tell me what ftf you flashed? My ftf has a battery drain compared to KitKat.
[Sony Xperia M2] mb011:
My thoughts exactly after the update. But then I zoomed pictures on a computer, and received a call. Found out the pictures are blur, and that the notification volume is about 40% lower when compared to kitkat...
[Sony Xperia M2] Danchiman:
i have already flashed the

Sorry for my grammar. Thanks anyway!
[Sony Xperia M2] xazakasrizava:
I flashed the Algerian ftf at the beginning at the post, battery life is pretty good. I left it at 80% last night and woke up with 79%. The camera on the other hand is Sony's task to fix so you'll have to wait n' see.
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
Customised NCB is a good ftf. Superb battery life even with the zram as Sony intended. I think the pictures look better than kk unless you zoom right in but NOBODY looks at every image zoomed right in anyway besides I looked at various z devices pictures on the net yesterday and they do more or less the same(fuzzy if you zoom right in) I also think that the pictures on Xperiablog are not a true representation of the problem since the update

[Sony Xperia M2] Th3 Ant:
Unfortunately not. Root permission is a must. build.prop file is in /system folder.

BTW: I am not sure about that but if it would be possible to unpack .ftf and extract build.prop file, edit it and pack it again it theoretically could work. But I am not sure about that. Ask some dev first :)
[Sony Xperia M2] Dzepar:
You can unpack it, but the problem is repacing, it can't be done without Sony signature.

I've updated my D2303 a few days ago OTA using PC companion being on Three network and I am truly amazed by good work by Sony. The phone behaves much better than before the update and the 5.1 lollipop rocks big time. Now my battery is 60% at 18:26 and it's has been running since 8am...

Camera is at least the same if not better (haven't made exact comparisons).

Sound quality is excellent, no annoying lags. It runs great everything.

The only negative if I could say so is that avaliable space on internal memory has being significantly reduced, but still runs great.

And I still haven't made factory reset

Thank you Sony for the great update :)

I've been experiencing WiFi dropping for unknown reasons. At home, the exclamation mark are constantly there, but I have internet access for About 30 minutes, then the Internet drops, even though Im still on the wifi and the exclamation mark disappeared. Maybe direct tft upgrade made this strange thing, I'll try to reinstall to see if that solves it. If anyone experienced this and knows the solution, I'll appreciate! (sidenote: the terminal thingy that disables the exclamation mark check throws Access Denied)

(Stock *.175, LockedBL, no root or other thing YET)

[Sony Xperia M2] Th3 Ant:
It throws access denied because you don't have root. Root is needed for every fix that was posted in OP. Try rooting first and then try applying the fix again.

---------- Post added at 10:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 PM ----------

Despite clearing app cache or uninstalling apps, there is no other way to disable it. Or I am wrong (long press on notification, press "I" icon and look for block notification. It is grayed out if I recall correctly)

On a Sony support forum this is the answer from Sony regarding the camera "improvement":

With the*latest Lollipop software,*18.6.A.0.175, the sharpness has been increased which makes the picture more clear and sharp when displayed on the phone or a PC with fitting to the screen size. The trade-off of increased sharpness is losing details, the pixel details are*sacrificed when zooming in. But this will not be seen*during normal display with screen size, only when users zoom in to more than actual picture size. We have evaluated this and came to the decision that this can benefit most of users when viewing photos with Xperia M2 / M2 Aqua.

Hi, the update came out for my M2 Aqua the day before yesterday and I can say it sucks. The phone is faster and all but, the camera is with a very poor quality. Pics are all shaky and foggy.

Another thing that I noticed is that the phone is draining battery like there is no tomorrow. I'm used to a day and a half battery duration on this phone, using Spotify, playing games, facebook, cellular data/Wifi always on and now it just can't take a full day.

I'm trying to find a fix or something for it but no luck to this moment. If nothing works I'm definitely downgrading to 4.4.4 Kitkat.

I was excited about the update but with this battery drain issue I'm now very disappointed.

Everybody who experienced an error with camera, especially with camera details and oversharpened image, you should try this one. Unfortunately you need to root your device.

First navigate to /vendor/camera/ folder

After that change the parameter of first line after extra line (the last paragraph with #). You will get your own valued at 1, then change that parameter like this one

I've tried, but before make a test photo of a bunch of texts (like texts on your notebook) after that compare that with the texts that you captured after you disable morpho denoiser

Hi all,

Yesterday I made the offcial update of my wife's M2.

When the cellphone restarted, it was a problem with the apps.

Many application had disappeared and didn't reinstall themselves (with login to play store). It was indicated that there were 50 apps installed, but appear only +/- twenties when many applications were on external sd.

After checking the free space on the phone, it was stated that the memory was nearly full when the phone had almost nothing in it

Any Help or solutions please ?

Thank in advance
[Sony Xperia M2] obsidian_eclipse:
The memory nearly full warning is perhaps the most annoying thing, you probably have more than a gigabyte of free space but unfortunately it shows up, I really wish Sony had tweaked it so it didn't show up until 90% or so instead of 75%. It might be worth going to the storage settings and choosing for it to clear all the cache files, it might just free up some space for a week or so.

Hi, I have an issue here.

After my D2305 updated to lollipop, its run perfectly in day 1. But, in day 2 my device wont detect any sim card.

I use FTF from Algeria. And my sim card is Indonesia sim. I already try with 3 different sim cards, it still say NO SERVICE, and "no sim card inserted" when I open mobile network setting.

Any solution for my problem?

Yes I do before. I use ftf from D5203 (dual sim). But after I flash it again using correct ftf (D2305_18.6.A.0.175_1285-2255_R3C.ftf), like I said it was work perfectly in day 1 and then became NO SERVICE. I'll try to flash again using another ftf. Can you tell me what FTF you use? download link would be nice :))

Hello everyone,

So I have a Sony Xperia M2 model D2303 on which I have decided to upgrade to Android 5.1.1 for security reasons and mainly because of Stagefright vulnerability. I don't mind camera quality being shanky and all that but I can't select any notification sound and Phone Ringtone and that's very important feature because how I will know if someone is calling me or receive an notification update ? I can't either change Notification Sound in default Messaging App as well as in Call -> Phone Ringtone because firstly it doesn't have any sound selected (none) and secondly when I click on it, it freezes the App and I'm forced to close it. At this current state my phone in unusable.

Does someone experienced the same problem and if so how did you went around it ?

Nice Note for Sony Employees: The worst update I have EVER received since it's my first time updating Android phone and I'm thinking about never buying Sony Smartphone again, well done Sony, well done and BIG THANKS FOR SONY TESTERS NOT !

P.S Can someone post or PM URL where I can find original checksums for Android 4.4.4 TFT file ?
