I think if the Z2 won't get update after 6.0, then Z3 won't get too. Like now the Z1 and Z Ultra. End of lifetime of the Z is expected. Z released in 2013 feb., 2,5 years ago, Z Ultra 2013 jul., almost 2,5 years ago and Z1 2013 sep., 2 years ago. Z2 released in 2014 mar., 1,5 years ago and Z3 2014 sep., 1 year ago. So, I think after 6.0 we (owners of Z2) will see at least one major update.

Great news !
[Xperia Z2 General] Weldone:
Well, I used a 6.0 for couple of days on a nexus, and I think, that it does not worth it. Really. ui has just a few changes, not even close to kitkat->lollipop upgrade.

Like it usually is, battery performance went down with the upgrade on a Nexus device.

And the last - added even more Google spy blootware.

My opinion - it does not worth any attention. :p

Hello,

I received the marshmallows update. But i think it's drain battery very fast. Is it only happening to me? Please help me
[Xperia Z2 General] :
264 is still 5.1.1, and only a few countries are getting it.
[Xperia Z2 General] nasosvasedis:
Guys, can somebody port the "marshmallow concept" from Z3 to the Z2?

It's a shame we can't get a taste of Android 6.0, when Z3 and Z2 are so similar

Maybe a developer can do this?.
[Xperia Z2 General] muhammadnajmi96:
bug fixes or stagefix fix I guess. Anyone has tried?
[Xperia Z2 General] :
Yeah, Right now I'm modding it. I'm sure once it rolls out globally; this will be the last Lollipop firmware before Marshamllow arrives. Stagefright is fully fixed, and phone seems to be more responsive.
[Xperia Z2 General] muhammadnajmi96:

[Xperia Z2 General] Mokiwipeout:
Well there is always an alternative. You can buy a Samsung device, that way you will never get an update ?

Lame joking aside, marshmallow hasn't really been delivered to many devices, so I guess we should be a little more patient.

[Xperia Z2 General] goran98:
Motorola hasn't been a Google company for over a year now, and I can list a couple of other phones that have Marshmallow already. (HTC One M8, LG G3, LG G4)

Stop trying to make excuses for Sony's laziness.
[Xperia Z2 General] beni8978:
Why all the fuzz, go buy a nexus and you are great then.
[Xperia Z2 General] goran98:
I wish people would stop with the "Just buy a Nexus" argument. Sony has undeniably better hardware than any Nexus in it's price range. Just because we want that superior hardware, doesn't mean we have to settle for less than adequate software updates on a FLAGSHIP phone, when so many other companies are already delivering.
[Xperia Z2 General] o0 Matt 0o:
Isn't it exactly the same:

Nexus = poor hardware but fast updates.

Sony = slow updates bit better hardware.

Why don't you learn to code and go show Sony how to so their job? Or build an update for us all?

Point being all companies have pros and cons. Sony's big con is slow updates which has always been the case. If you weigh up the pros and cons and software updates are important get a Nexus. If hardware is more important get a Sony.

What is the marshmellow functionality that you want? Or u just.complaining to complain?
[Xperia Z2 General] beni8978:
I'm a sony user since the original Xperia Z came out. Sony was late pushing the updates but when they arrived they were bugfree.

You are just making yourself look like a kid begging for candy.

I would also love to get MM but that's not how Sony do it.

I didn't have better support on a smartphone like with the Xperia Z. From 4.1.2 to 5.1.1
[Xperia Z2 General] azam_:
Thats a really good response, sony are slow on updates but when it arrives its a really good and bug free version
[Xperia Z2 General] 5ageman:
5.1.1 is almost perfect on xperia z2, why the hurry? Marshmallow is almost the same as Lollipop, stock MM has a couple of new features but Sonys 5.1.1 has more features than stock MM. This android upgrade/update craze is going out of hand. It makes no sense anymore. So what if Z2 stays stuck even on 5.1.1, will you really get any extra features and functionalities in MM?

LG rushed MM for the G4 and ruined a good phone, they had to pull the update back. Its just now finally rolling out only in Poland and sellect countries and providers. G3 is not getting MM yet. And if you compare LG G4s LP and MM they are completely same. MM has more bugs and thats the only difference.

There is almost no point upgrading between these incremental updates of android, since LP 5.0 all updates are essentially service packs, yes even MM. There are some cool new features if you are using a nexus device, but Xperia devices had features that nexus introduced in MM, Xperias had in KK. Take the doze feature, take the hide system icons feature and so on.

Google lost me with its upgrade policy, I mean I have to upgrade my whole OS to get the ”delete screenshot from the notification bar“, sigh...

Anyway, suck it up and love your Xperia, it has the best user experience and the fastest and the most fluid OS of all android bunch, yes even HTCs sense. I tried them all and have used android since 2008, believe me its not worth to update anymore, only iron out the bugs and install security patches.
[Xperia Z2 General] Guciu:
@up "5.1.1 is almost perfect on xperia z2, why the hurry?"

I worry it is not true in 100%. On 5.0 and 5.1.1 many people have problems with bluetooth connections. Especially with connection to handsfree car systems. I have this problem with my Honda. I have never had something like this on 4.4. I hope it will be fixed in 6.0. If not I will have to come back to 4.4 again :/
[Xperia Z2 General] muhammadnajmi96:
I don't know what are you saying , I just switched from z2 to g4 and couldn't be happier. The MM updates improve it more. Many country already got the MM update already , I got 3 update on MM since the updates came out last year.
[Xperia Z2 General] BITS74:

I am so tired of Mobile Radio Active Bug. :(
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
There is a xposed module that generaly subdues the issue for the time being

Literally called: mobile radio active bug fix
[Xperia Z2 General] AttilaGolik:
Maybe I'm a lucky one, but I have no Mobile Radio Active bug, or any battery draining issue on factory stock 5.1.1 ...
[Xperia Z2 General] 5ageman:
I guess youre out of luck...I dont have thos bug with the latest 5.1.1 update.
[Xperia Z2 General] chesterr:
Hmmmm Yea I tried that "mobile radio active bug fix" app and it doesn't do that much actually.

This bug never triggers if you're connected to WiFi all the time and I am not connected to WiFi at all :D

Sadly 7hrs :(

Well I surely can use the phone for 2days without an issue but I don't get crazy SoT's like 5hrs or 6hrs

And yes I noticed that even in the concept rom(Installed on Z3C) that PlayServices and Something else had Mobile radio active running.
[Xperia Z2 General] saldirai:
Settle with "What's New" updates, it's being regularly updated! Thank you Sony.
[Xperia Z2 General] chaose:
There is 1 very important feature on Marshmallow that's not on Lollipop and it's the ability to use a MicroSD card as internal storage. It effectively replaces the internal storage on your phone, so you can use a 64GB microSD card to get a 64GB internal storage. Sure it will be slower than the internal flash but the increased storage is definitely worth it for me. This is only an issue because Sony only released a 16GB version of the Z2 instead of having 32GB as the minimum.
[Xperia Z2 General] azam_:
I dont use radio at all but i can say there is no battery drain what so ever, love my phones battery life. With my usage i get about 6-7 hours screen on time wifi always connected. Wat i can say is lets not rush the mm update. I want it so badly but let sony take its time and make it perfect.
[Xperia Z2 General] AttilaGolik:
I didn't talk about the Radio App :D
[Xperia Z2 General] Rajeev:
FM Radio and Mobile Radio Active is different dude
[Xperia Z2 General] nasosvasedis:
Let's hope Sony releases Marshmallow soon!
[Xperia Z2 General] Rajeev:
Yep.. But i can't enjoy it.. I don't have my Z2 anymore..
[Xperia Z2 General] 5ageman:
But you can normally mount an SD card since gingerbread 2.3, keep all huge files there without any issues and use internal memory for apps and keep your Z2 snappy. I would never exhange faster storage for more storage ESPCIALLY if you have an SD card slot for storing , videos, music, zips, rars whatever. You can even record 4k videos directly to SD xard from stock Z2s camera app if the card is fast enough.
[Xperia Z2 General] chaose:
It's not about storing large files on an SD card. Right now you can only move certain parts of the app over to an SD card, but a large part such as the cache is still retained on the internal storage of your phone. In marshmallow the phone will have the ability to see the SD card as internal storage instead, so that the app will be installed onto the phone. This becomes very useful if you have a chat app that stores all your messages and ends up with a huge cache (4-5GB), because currently the cache can't go on to the SD card. Also, since I don't plan on doing heavy I/O on the storage, the speed of a class 10 SD card is plenty enough for me, although I'm not sure if the SD card reader is connected over USB2 or USB3 speeds (I'm guessing USB2).

[Xperia Z2 General] FellipeSilvaRJ:
I read about the only difference between the two models is the DTV receiver, and D6543 run all firmwares that D6503 can run, so if a flashable firmware comes out, i think D6543 users can install it. the point is, they will lose the DTV (i personally don't mind it).

[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
Guys, this beta program is made for XDA!

for years we've complained that we have to wait for carrier brands we've flashed Brown ROMs just to be the first to test the new Stuff.

It's limited to 3 countries, but hei, you think that'd stop anyone? I bet it's not gonna take 24h after release that a ftf will be on XDA.

After that everyone can flash as much as they want.

So just wait and take it easy.
[Xperia Z2 General] tOrNadO™:
It's not that simple I'm afraid.. When you signup for beta program, you are technically signing an agreement that you won't be sharing the fw anywhere.. But hey, if someone can I'll be more than happy to use it.. Let's hope for the best..
[Xperia Z2 General] chesterr:
But you can always share :D

I'm eagerly waiting for someone to share it with us.
[Xperia Z2 General] raolleel:
I think, that Sony looks into those Threads, so someone needs to share the file anonymously ... but I don't think that this will be a huge problem

^^
[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
It is that simple.

Do you expect Sony to ring your doorbell in company with the local police and throw you into prison for sharing their firmware?

They want to be on the safe side. You messed around with their firmware? Your fault!

I don't think they have a way to trace back the firmware ftf file and find out which user shared it, way to much work, better allocate the sparse resources somewhere else.

They might check XDA, but how are they gonna connect the XDA account to the Sony /Google play account?

I don't believe they will force delete the firmware from this forum, did they ever do that with brown Rom's?

So as long as we use the concept ROM for our own entertainment and help detect bugs it's a win win for both parties, even if we're not officially allowed to help. And I'm sure some XDA members are a lot better in detecting bugs from extraordinary situations than some self declared powerusers which joined the test when they read about it on Facebook.
