[Sony Xperia M5] matcor:
You probably own one of the many m5 with a failing hybrid autofocus system. Only one of the two autofocus methods works correctly while the phase autofocus is not working. The result is that with the stock camera app (that uses both systems) large part of the pictures are out of focus, while using other apps (like for instance camera fv5) that only rely on the working autofocus method of the camera, pictures are always correctly focused, at the price that focusing is quite slow.

If this is the case the only solution is to send the phone to assistance, in my case they changed the camera module.

Hope this helps,

[Sony Xperia M5] ih8redsn0w:
The problems I've had on Marshmallow are

•Randomly ejecting SD card then I pressed restart and it just turned off and the only way I could get it for turn on was hold vol up and power button

•Error camera may be in use in another application

•Phone freezes after a while when using data and takes forever to turn on after

•I turn my phone off to charge but lately I turn it off then plug it in and the phone just turns on again

•Phone gets hotter than it did in lollipop

•Takes longer to turn on

•Sometimes it is delayed to respond

In lollipop I had 0 problems. Sony you need to pick up your game for the non-flagship phones

Does this happen only on 2015 models or 2016 too?

I have fried my emmc with flashtool, so I'm waiting this phone to get back from service. It is 16W13 model E5653 with single SIM. I still have old Z1 with broken vibration, so I'm thinking about keeping M5. I will never update to 6.0, yet I don't need any of 6.0 'features'.
[Sony Xperia M5] matcor:
Hi, I had this problem with 3 different m5 (single sim) bought in september/october 2016, all of them with android 6 already installed. I have seen that many posts on the web report a similar problem: be aware that the detailed explanation is mine, after a lot of time spent in testing; most of the posts only generally complain about the problems in autofocus, but the simptoms reported can be very likely explained by this problem. Sony assistance did accept to change the camera module without any discussion. I have no experience with android 5 for this phone.
[Sony Xperia M5] ReznorNInchNails:
Thanks a lot for this valuable information. Mine came with 5.1 which was already latest, so I tried to upgrade it via FlashTool to 6.0.1 without using FSC script which rendered phone unusable. If camera works despite this issue is present from time to time, then I can live with it. My Z1 is 14W19 so it is nearly time to replace it.

M5 Distorted Display Hang then Restart

my sony m5 have this problem the display got distorted then its not accessible (hang) after a second it will restart automatically...

this happen randomly and its so annoying i can't even use my device for a long period of time..

i tried to update it using PC Companion but no dice.... the phone is 2016 model, dated 16w25
[Sony Xperia M5] ReznorNInchNails:
Are you using Marshmallow? I have same issue here, it worked fine with 5.1, but after OTA update it started to glitch the screen at random, then freezes completely. It is not restarting, but stays frozen. 2016 here too. 16W13 is this one.

Here is what it looks and it happens always when I use Album app.

EDIT: The phone is faulty. It is GPU which fails to draw screen. Glitches became more frequent, and factory reset does not help.

[Sony Xperia M5] i8 BMW:
Any ideas? my Sony M5 Dual freeze and reboot when plugging in USB cable. USB cable from Sony charger or PC or Laptop same issue. Phone will freeze, reboot but only the "Sony Experia" screen, then hang for a while then reboot again, this will go on for about an hour, sometimes just a minute. I did remove sims, also memory card, no change, if It is on everything works, but now most of the times when I want to charge it is rebooting. can't even access safe mode or do Software repair when in that state. So when phone was on I did a reset via phone settings, then a total new software repair via control panel, no sim or memory card, problem persists. I think bios or hardware problem on pc board. Did someone else experience this or know how to fix this? thank you
[Sony Xperia M5] Benporteoush:
My M5 runs Android 6.0 and it still turns off automatically but I don't have to use the cable to turn it on anymore. Sometimes when I turn it back on it can be under 5% when previously in the 80's. Gets really hot all the time aswell. my problem with the camera is that the lens is plastic so it got scratched easy and now my images look foggy. If these problems did exist it would still be a great mid-range phone even in 2017.

[Sony Xperia M5] Sirius_Balzier:
Mine, yes. Have Those simmilar issues too. Phone suddenly hangs on, when i lock the screen and later push the button to unlock, nothing happens, the screen remains off. After 5-10 min, the screen unlocks but the phone is veeeeery slow. It's annoying. Still finding a solution.
[Sony Xperia M5] ih8redsn0w:
I would try factory reset
[Sony Xperia M5] Sirius_Balzier:
I've been thinking that too, but when i was preparing the phone to do it, suddenly pressed the lower part of my screen, then i noticed the real issue: my screen is not well settled. A few weeks ago, i left my phone to a friend, because my phone fell and the screen got broken. He is an hardware phone enthusiast, so i trusted him. He replaced the screen but didn't it well. Anyway, thanks for replying :fingers-crossed:

Hi, I bought this phone to my wife this Christmas.

A cheap option for her... But we got 2 problems.

The Alarm goes with 1-4 minutes of delay randomly...

If we install AccuWeather program with the position the phone crash the system and it's impossible to works.

Finally I reset to factory all and don't install this application.

If someone know how to make the alarm works... I will be grateful.

Updated my phone to latests update offered in Estonia 30.2.A.2.1 while phone was on charger.

OTA update completed, but charging was gone. It was orange light on - at 70% , then after reboot charging light was red,

while charger connected - no charging.

Did Xperia Companion repair - no go, phone works but no charging. have 50% of battery left before to turn it to repair ... With Gsam it showed sometimes picking up charging, but no power was coming in to phone % of charge did not changed during 3 hours - did not dropped as well.

When charger is connected phone has red charging light on and bootloops with no battery image appearing. Power + volume up phone makes 3 quick

vibrations, but it does not help.

Changed wall adapters, cables, and same behaviour with comp connected while trying charge from USB.

Only logical thing i came up with - update fu*** up something in charging circuit (some kind of chip on the ribbon cable?) - no way to prove it due Sony has their code closed and sofar none has been unable to dechipher it, neither is there way to downgrade.

And flashtool will be last resort option due low success precent.

Anyone encountered similar behavior?

Local Sonycenter asked if phone is under warranty - of course its long gone on 2015 device. We offer payd repair. Typical Sony answer.

33 euros for changing 3.75 USD costing piece of ribbon cable?

MODS, apologies if this thread is in the wrong place, feel free to move it if necessary.

Hello all. I am a potential buyer of the T-Mobile variant G3 currently trying to get a, "lay of the land" before a purchase is made. I am fairly positive that this device will be running either D85120E or under, however I'm not excluding the possibility of it running D85120G out of the box. (even though D85120G was only just released via OTA today.) I would like to know the best current method for achieving full root, and custom recovery on version D85120E. (and possibly if this might also work with the newly released OTA version) My goal is to have this device running TWRP with a custom AOSP ROM.

I would appreciate it if someone could get back with me on this.

Thank you all for a moment of your time.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rektifying:
Hello Everyone,

I am having a hard time deciding on what to do here. Here are my options:

A: Upgrade my current Sprint line to the Nexus 6 for $0.00 today, free activation and free overnight shipping!

B: Pre-Order the Nexus 6P for $500+ out of pocket today and have it essentially cost me $120 more a year. (Sprint Unlimited Plan is going from $60 to $70 October 16th)

I have to stay with Sprint. Looking at options A and B it really only seems logical to go with A... lol. Anyways...

I am looking for Pros and Cons for the Moto Nexus 6 vs the Nexus 6P.

Any and all input on this would be appreciated! Thank you for your time!

PS: This will be my first Android Phone. I have been an iPhone user since the 3GS! I currently have an iPhone 6 and I am just sick of my boring A$$ iPhones! After doing a bunch of research and such I decided that I really want a Nexus Device! I just can't decide between the Nexus 6 or the Nexus 6P.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Highway 55:
Unless you absolutely need to have USB-C or biometric unlock, save your money. The N6 is still a very capable device.

Ooh and 6p doesn't have wireless charging...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jst07:
Not quite sure what the implications on your sprint plan is, but I wouldn't get the N6 from Sprint. Amazon has them for sub $400. I just bought the 64gb warehouse deal for $339. I know sprint is listing them for over $600 and you'll pay every bit of that though easy pay too. IMO saving $150+ by going with the N6 is the better decision.

Are you on a contract type plan with sprint still?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadlyv2:
I personally love my Nexus 6. The convenience of wireless charging overrides any USB type-c in my opinion since I have 100 USB cables that work great already. I also like my motorola, as I was a huge fan of the Moto X line the Nexus 6 fits many criteria in one. But its your phone get what best suits you.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Didgeridoohan:
I already have the N6, but my wife is looking for a new phone. She's choosing the N6P, mainly because she feels that the original N6 is to clunky. Looking at side by side pictures the N6P looks quite sleek...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4X0R46:
The only real difference between the two that are noticeable right away are the finger print scanner on the back, and USB C charging. I have a Nexus 6 and I will tell you, this phone charges fast as hell with it's fast charge feature and it makes the USB C charging seem gimmicky. For the price, I would say go for a Nexus 6! And someone already mentioned the Amazon price that's quite low right now, opinion of course, but I would say the real deal breaker here is if you REALLY want a finger print scanner or can live without it. I love my Nexus 6!

EDIT: You're coming from an iPhone? Welcome to the world of Android, you're making a much better choice!

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jst07:
Also want to say, since you're coming from iPhone, you're making a good choice going with the Nexus platform over one of the vendors (Samsung, LG, etc) IMO. While they make great phones, I think vanilla android is the best form. I cannot stand how the other mfgs load their phones up with just crap. I have an LG now that I love, but it's unlocked and running vanilla android :)

If you get into unlocking and rooting your phone, there's so much you can do with it but it's also a great experience stock.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rektifying:
I pulled the trigger on the Nexus 6! I've always wanted a phone with a big screen so I know I am going to love it! I spent an hour on the phone with Sprint and got them down to $500! I just explained to the supervisor that it is a year old phone and you can buy it directly from Google for $500. I still got charged the full $648-$48 instant discount =$600. $0 down installment billing through easy pay. But he issued me $100 credit to make up for it! They are also buying my iPhone 6 back for $385 so I will have a $485 credit on my account. I won't have to pay my bill for 6 months! HaHa! He also waived activation and gave me free two day shipping. I feel I did pretty well! Cost me nothing up front! I probably could have gotten more from selling my iPhone solo but the fact that it's a Sprint model would have made it a lot harder and taken forever. Plus it has a few scratches on it and such so $385 is plenty enough in my opinion. Amazons for $350 are a good deal but they say no Sprint/Verizon for some reason. In my area it is Verizon or Sprint. GSM is not an option! No AT&T or T-Mobile coverage at all!

I can't wait to get it! This is the first time I have bought an Android and this is the first time I bought a year old phone! I have always got the latest iPhone upon release. It was kind of hard for me to eat that I was getting year old tech, but I really wanted the 6" display and I wanted a Nexus device. (For some reason I always think I have to have the latest and greatest even though I am far from a power user) With 3GB ram and a Snapdragon 805 I am sure I will enjoy it for a while. As long as I get 2 years out of it I will be happy!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jst07:
Congrats! You'll love android. And while this may be a year old phone, it's still arguably top of the line. The SD 808 and 810 are not clearly better than the 805, especially with the 810's thermal issues. Take good care of it and you should see 2 years easy out of the phone.

And besides, you can always trade early for next year's Nexus :)

Edit: BTW I love your avatar...perfect for someone coming from iPhone to their first Android
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4X0R46:

Hello, I'm about to giving up,

Something happened to the phone and now it won't boot, it barely show the "ANDROID" logo when it restart itself. I can enter to the recovery menu, it doesn't have clockwork recovery nor twrp, just the basic recovery. So far I tried:

wipe data/factory - didn't work.

wipe cache partition - didn't work

apply update from adb: Adb just work with sideload and that's it, for everything else it shows closed. I tried sending the rom with sideload and it fails every time:

* failed to write data 'protocol fault (couldn't read status): Invalid argument' *

So I took my sdcard and copied the room there, so I tried

apply update from sdcard, it starts and in no time it says:

Installation aborted (APPLY_EXT).

I'm very frustrated right now, nothing works, it seems that the manufacturer did great effort on being the only one who can recover this phone, who appears to be from China, the MTK6582.

Fastboot? it doesn't show the device, it would be my last hope but no, since there is no adb, I cannot call fastboot, and the apply update from adb only work with sideload (yeah, f**k me).

The best course of action would be to throw it to the trash?

Thanks! :(
[General Questions and Answers] blitz9826:
Hey, I'm in a similar position to you. However, I went about it with a slightly different route. The chip used in this phone is the MediaTek 6582 (I think?). I downloaded some tools from a thread on here that includes the 320 rom and the necessary software for flashing. I've flashed MediaTek devices before, the Huawei Ascend G610 and G700, both successfully. This one is giving me headaches, the damn device keeps disconnecting. HOWEVER, if you're lucky and you don't have the same problem with disconnecting hardware, you should be able to flash a new rom via the software. It'll take a while though. Also, I don't know what'll happen to your IMEI afterwards, so that's another possible headache (both the G610 and the G700 lost their IMEI info, but I'd taken steps to back them up beforehand so I could just restore them; here, there's no option to backup).

Here's the thread: http://xdaforums.com/android/general/htc-mtk-cpu-flash-files-flashtool-t3114271

Let me know if you need help. I'm screwed in that the damn phone keeps disconnecting. Similar to you, no fastboot either. Plus, no RUU for this HTC. Hell, the internet barely knows this flipping phone.
