So it's probably a matter of time before they fix it on lollipop or is the loss of drm keys?
[Sony Xperia M2] filip.kosut:
Well it's Sony so about half year for fix? [emoji21]

[Sony Xperia M2] Miche1asso:
Nope, you're not alone. In my phone there is a process (probably kswapd0) that keeps staying in iowait (at an average of 50%). That translates to at least two cores always active at 1190MHz. I reported it in the Xperia support forum yesterday, no answer.

Talking about other issues (the broken camera is a well known one I'd say at this point) I often get an exclamation mark in the WiFi icon. Obviously with no explanation whatsoever.

Then allow me, but at Google they are better hiring some serious style designer. The new notifications are dog ugly. Not that it wasn't expected from an OS that started with the most awful green color on earth. And don't make me start about the choice of going full bright in the backgrounds. Which isn't even "theme-able", unlike with KK.
[Sony Xperia M2] nafi_rahman:
Will there be any fix for the camera? Or do I have to go back to kk?
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
Doubt there be any more updates period of they can help it

[Sony Xperia M2] Miche1asso:
If you usually take many pictures you're better going back to KK for now. I did a test and from few meters far away (I don't know, 5-10) the car license plates don't show correctly, all symbols are unreadable. I mean, it is really bad. But test it first yourself, some say it works even better (just remember to watch the pictures on computer at full size). But yes, I suppose it will be patched. They must.

Still someone should explain me why 8 years ago my Nokia 6680 was making much better pictures than the new (middle range) mobile phones.
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
If you want to get Sony's attention quicker email support directly the support forum is run by Sony users not Sony staff..

Can someone who has a Kitkat yet (not updated phone) upload a camera.msm8226.so file? It is located in /system/lib/hw folder. I'd like to check something out :)

EDIT: Also all files from /system/vendor/camera folder (if there are any... should be bunch of .cfg files)
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Do you know you can extract files from SIN? :)

Give me some time and I'll do it for you.
[Sony Xperia M2] Th3 Ant:
Thanks :)

I'd like to check if kitkat cfg files are the same here, on 5.1.1
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
There's no camera folder inside Vendor (.17 Custom NCB FTF). I can still upload the blob if you need it.

Just tested the camera. It seems that the macroblocking/pixelation only happens under low-light conditions with flash ON. Here`s a pic in normal lighting, with flash obviously off

https://goo.gl/photos/vx511AiMkDmjtCV78

As you can see, no pixelation at all, even if you zoom in. But wiith the window blinds closed in my house, and flash on, i took a pic of my workstation and it looked like crap. I also caught my finger in front of the camera, and had macroblocking galore , big ass white block of pixels on my finger. Turn flash off, and it seems much better, but you can`t make much out of it since there`s not much light to begin with.

Did anyone flashed on 4.4.4 without making Data wipe? cache only

Btw I'm cooking Centarl Europe 1 version.
[Sony Xperia M2] xazakasrizava:
I did, all I did was wipe cache and apps_log.sin or whatever it's called. But I didn't wipe the data at all. I can confirm it's safe on my end.

En France à l'heure actuelle, il n'y a que Orange FR qui a sorti la mise à jour
[Sony Xperia M2] xLobito:
Well, I did only Wipe Cache/AppsLog, but no Wipe Data while flashing 5.1 D2306 device model. And works fine, but, the battery looks clearly weird, no sign of "performance" is found (Takes less time in discharge while is w/o screensaver or even lighted display). So... no idea what's happening.
[Sony Xperia M2] FrWhyMe:
FR : Je viens de regarder sur Xperifirm , et SFR à aussi sorti la MàJ . Mais je suis chez Coriolis qui se dit sur le réseau SFR et rien . Du coup je télécharge le firmware depuis Xperifirm et je vais le flasher , ca va aller plus vite .

Hey I've got a question. Android lollipop is released for xperia m2 but not in my country yet. Can it be released here on a saturday or sunday? Or sony doesn't release on the weekends?
[Sony Xperia M2] xazakasrizava:
You can flash an ftf from another country if you don't want to wait for an ota. Personally I flash the ftf but if you are more cautious, go with the ota ;)

Well it took me long enough but Im there in the end. Fully rooted customised NCB 5.1 on LB with nuts t2u dual recovery with full r/w access and perfectly working improved camera. I was ready to get rid now the only missing thing is Xperia xposed but suppose I'll have to live with it for now.

Has anybody figured out how to get that annoying "your device`s memory is 75% full, tap to transfer stuff etc." notification disabled for good? Unless i clear my cache every day, it starts to pop up (since i only have 1.2 GB left right now). I only found instructions on how to do it on KitKat, but i think Sony changed the process name to something else, since i can`t find it on 5.1 and disable it.

Just a question, is there any way to disable (adb hide _____) Xperia stock "Alarm and Clock" app?

Coz I am using Google's Clock app, so the Xperia's stock app is quite useless for me...
[Sony Xperia M2] lozohcum:
Nah. It's working. The problem was in the APP i tried to use, not in the internet ;)

Btw guys sorry I didn't upload CE1 in night, I fall asleep after playing Rainbow6 Siege Beta many hours ;)

I'm uploading Central Europe 1 right now. I flashed it yesterday and it's working perfectly.

[Sony Xperia M2] Miche1asso:
Just out of curiosity.. What did you change from the previous installations that made it finally working?

Also how did you improve the camera?
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
I think most of my problems were 30gb of error reports cluttering up my hdI got a few updates that keep failing to install i only realised when using latest version of prf creator v1.1 as it said not enough room left to perform the op the old version didn't say anything I also removed all of xposed and the modules and used customised NCB ftf instead of the Algerian one the camera seems to be hit and miss some people is crap others it's not I got there in the end only thing I'm missing is Xperia xposed but I can live with that for now

[Sony Xperia M2] harisyks:
Reset to factory defaults. If that does not work, flash a different ftf. If that doesn't help, flash kitkat. If that also doesn't help, get a repair.

Also odex file would be nice :)

[Sony Xperia M2] molnartibor:
i am silently hoping that they have stopped the rollout and will release something like .176 fixing the camera and battery drain
[Sony Xperia M2] xazakasrizava:
I seem to have no problems. I flashed the Algerian ftf, the only complaint I have is the camera but you know...
[Sony Xperia M2] Th3 Ant:
Honestly? I don't have a big bugs but some minor ones. One of them is low storage popping out every 10 mins... I have to clear cache or move apps every time. At least it is not laggy [emoji14]
[Sony Xperia M2] xazakasrizava:
Yeah, the firmware is practically flawless, just no xposed and crappy cam :sly:
[Sony Xperia M2] SpectreXM8:
Yeah, and you can`t even disable the Memory service that controls that stupid thing, only freeze it with TBackup which results in reboots. Pisses me off, only thing that pissed me off so far for that matter, everything works fine except that and camera in low-light conditions. But the camera isn`t so important to me anyway, i have a real camera (Canon 5D Mark 2) for serious pictures.

Heck, there isn`t even an option to turn off notifications for the Memory service in the app info (pressing the notification and selecting the "i" icon on the right), like other services which have an option to turn off notifications.
[Sony Xperia M2] BlazingBullets:
Did you do full reset/install?

Lollipop use a different run time (ART) so clear your cache and data, if that doesn't help, do a FULL ftf flash, if that doesn't work, then

a) your phone is faulty AFAIK,

2) just use kitkat
[Sony Xperia M2] FrWhyMe:
Would be great, i hope they'll fix thoses issues + introduce the entire theme customization thing the way it was in KitKat.

[Sony Xperia M2] Th3 Ant:
You can buy a NFC tag or as you said, go to store and look for something like NFC powered phone or Hi-FI. Some phones can also read bank cards (?) (I am not sure cause here in PL we have cards as bus tickets and sometimes my phone can read it [emoji14])

[Sony Xperia M2] pradhana:
You can type 'free' in terminal.

By default my zRam is on with value 440MB, Indonesian FTF.
[Sony Xperia M2] Miche1asso:
Sure. As normal user one of the two:

cat /proc/swaps
busybox free

As root, and that gives few more detail about how it is mounted:

su -c grep zram /fstab.qcom

You can't extract the file /fstab.qcom from .sin file because it is in the kernel's RAM disc. Oh well, unless you unpack the boot.img., sure!! :D

Actually one can install this app: DiskInfo. It's quite neat, it gives out all partition info, virtual memory included. No root needed.

To see if the low RAM is enabled:

getprop ro.config.low_ram
grep low_ram /system/build.prop

The first command reports the current status, the second it it gets enabled by build.prop.
[Sony Xperia M2] 31fahmi:
I've ****ed up with Indonesian ROM

Just installed 25 apps and RAM is not more than 300MB

I've tried every ftf of 5.1, even tried updating from pc companion but every time I get in a bootloop when it's "optimizing applications". It gets to around half and then it restarts. I guess I'm gonna have to revert to kk for now
[Sony Xperia M2] 31fahmi:
As it's not lagging, I'm so glad for having Lollipop in my USD 250 (IDR price) smartphone

Use flashtool and your problem are gone
[Sony Xperia M2] Miche1asso:
This is odd. I'd first double check that you're installing the correct FTF for your phone model (it's typical that some install the D2303 FTF in a D2302 phone). Also in such a case a data wipe is a must. The PCC phone repair should fix any issue like this. Everything is possible with computers, but if 4.4.4 is running I don't see any reason why 5.1.1 after a clean installation shouldn't.

Well, with 83 apps installed I still do get some lag. But at least I don't have to wait half a minute anymore for Google Play launching when I click in a notification!! :D

It's clearly more efficient. No wonder since it finally uses binary files and not that Java virtual machine junk.
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
Sony screwed some devices. I've a friend that has a D2303, and none FTF worked for him. It didn't matter, if it was a carrier, a sim-free one. It'd always say 'Optimizing apps' and bootloops. So he went back to KK.
