Just ordered the white version.

All units are affected by the touch screen bug or just a specific batch (carrier or not) ?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] supercakefish:
It was a software bug that only affected white models but has now been fixed by an update.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] ninjy:
Ok thanks :)

New .170 version spotted for Telstra Australia at XperiFirm. Anyone from Land down under to share his expirience whether anythings change or?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] jasechanis:
The .170 firmware is the Z5 Premium firmware.

I wouldn't download this version for the Compact. This could be a mistake.

I would wait a little longer to confirm that a new Compact firmware is indeed the .170 version.

No one in Australia has reported getting notification of a new .170 firmware on their Compact.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] RiTCHiE007:
and if you state that a new firmware is out please report the source
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] masi0:
This version is also seen for Z5c not only premium

Since you obviously haven't heard of XperiFirm as a ''source'' for reporting new things being published, you should hear your own advice and stfu as i have given the info that the aformentioned version has been spotted on XperiFirm software as the Telstra's version is only one being listed as .170 version for Z5 Compact.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] dillalade:
Interesting.

Look forward to seeing what's new in .170
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] tania247260:
Z5 compact too. I saw it . .170

What do you need?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] NPK06:
I imagine it's about the "prohibited" sign. Means you silenced the calls and vibration. Press the vol+ button once to go back to vibration only, twice and more to go back to ringtone.

I've just tested and successfully downloaded "E5823_Telstra AU_1298-3444_32.0.A.6.170_R15B" via XperiFirm but I think it mainly only applied security patches, should be no new function added. I may flash it at weekend when I've more free time.

- move volume buttons to the top

- update screen to full-hd super-amoled

- brand-new Amy Schumer xperia-theme
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] bubimir13:
Anything feels different? It should be some minor update...
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TheEndHK:
You missed the CPU is now listed SD820 with 3GB ram, the model name also changed to Z6c.

It fixed the camera startup time... now it is way faster.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] evcz:
Changelog:

- Wifi hot spot not working anymore

- reporting "no service" into the lock screen even if we are connected to 4g
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] heavyhms:
Wi-fi hotspot does not works on mine too (i've debranded my WIND Italy version 1 hour ago)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] cioce:
Wi-fi HotSpot is ok here with latest firmware 32.0.A.6.200 (Italy no brand).

Camera startup time it's not modified in this firmware update, it's only the classic suggestion that coming with a new update :D

About changelog I doubt it's full true :eek:

- allow bootloader unlock with automatic backup of TA partition (OK, could be true)

- move volume buttons to the top (Where??? inside some Sony apps?)

- update screen to full-hd super-amoled (Amoled? This phone have an IPS LCD)

- brand-new Amy Schumer xperia-theme (I don't have any new theme installed)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] heavyhms:
today works on my phone also... maybe yesterday the wi-fi channel selected by hotspot was too much overlapped by other wireless in area

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] km8j:
Can anyone advise the most recent applicable firmware for the USA from XperiaFirm since the country isnt there officially?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] gr00vy0ne:
I guess technically you have lots of choices for picking. In the US (Los Angeles, CA) I'm using the Customized Taiwanese Version which just got the .200 release today. The only thing missing is the LTE symbol (it says 4G instead). It's kind of personal preference on what you want yours to display.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] supercakefish:
UK firmware displays 4G
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] RandomHuman:
These were a joke, my friend. Clearly things the z5s has left us wanting (although I don't agree with all of them).

Flashed the new fw yesterday, for me they fixed the Wifi latency to get DHCP.

Before it always took 20-30sec to get IP with a "!" on the Wifi bars..
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] DionKS:
I still didn't got the update
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] x2srj:
They don't appear to have released it to every where. Some Countries have it released for Networks but not the unbranded versions.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] DionKS:
I thougt unbranded phones have an advantage, guess not in our case :p
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] eng3:

Bluetooth toogle gone with build number 32.0.A.6.200

Hey

I received the OTA upgrade on my Xperia Z5 compact this morning, up to build number 32.0.A.6.200.

As a result, the Bluetooth on/off toggle is no longer an option within the Quick Settings (those icons you can drag down from the top). I did have it as an active quick setting and after upgrade it went - and now Bluetooth is not even an option to add back in.

Anyone else experienced this?

It's a massive P.I.T.A. as I always use that bluetooth toggle. And why on earth would they remove it?

Thanks

Rob

EDIT: After manually turning on Bluetooth, and then turning it off again, it has now re-appeared as a Quick Setting option. So, whilst odd, all sorted and maybe can help someone else with the same minor panic :)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] rolo143:
Do you guys know when will they be releasing the android marshmallow update?

Early next year.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] pilauda:
I bought phone yesterday, and update it on 32.0.A.6.200, i was previously using z3c and its not much of an upgrade, i have issues with software like randomly restarting, touch sound turning off randomly, when i'm on speakerphone people hear echo, when im scrolling (in chrome or fb or tapatalk where there is text) i see some blur on font of a text, i hope thay fix this issues with 6.0 if they dont i will looking for some replacement to my z5c. Didnt find any topic about z5c general discussion so i wrote it here, sorry if i made mistake. Cheers!

Hi guys, someone could link the 32.0.A. 6.200 ftf xperia z5 compact firmware Generic Italy? I can't use XPERIAFIRM for a few days... And I need asap... thank u so much ??

@-;--
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] TheEndHK:
The hardware is definitely better than my Z1c(overall actually my Z1c rom more stable only the camera focus too slow) but current build is like beta, I'm also waiting for 6.0 but still no news yet. If Sony don't going to fix all problem on 6.0, I will consider to sell it out too and wait for Z6c/Z7c........

I have downloaded latest fw from.xperifirm. But flashtool is not able to see any files it can flash
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] phositadc:
Does bootloader need to be unlocked to use flashtool?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Sadman Khan:
Nope. Bootloader needs to be unlocked to use fastboot mode. For flashing official ftf's you just need Flashmode.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] phositadc:
So for official ftfs, no bootloader unlock is required? Where can official ftfs be downloaded?

Is flashing an official ftf with flashmode basically the Sony equivalent of flashing Nexus factory images?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Sadman Khan:
To the second paragraph, exactly.

NO bootloader unlock is required to flash ftfs. You can find them around these forums. Or you can simple google search for the version you are looking for by typing in your phone's model number and build number.

Bootloader unlock is only required for custom roms where you must use a custom kernel or modified kernel. Cheers
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] phositadc:
one more question. How do you flash an official ftf? Also use flash tool, or something else?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Nimda01:
using flashtool. (don't confused with flash tool)

"flashtool" is a program made by XDA users Bin4ry and Androxyde.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=920746

But "flash tool" is official program from sony. Required unlocked bootloader device only to use it and not all model will supported.

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] supercakefish:
Oh you have to unlock bootloader? I've read that doing that destroys the DRM keys for the proprietary Sony camera algorithms.

I'll hold off until it rolls out to the UK via PC Companion.

It'd be great to know if camera has improved and/or general everyday performance.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] bubimir13:
Do not unlock BL just yet, kind advice. I bet there will be an rooting method even for locked BLs but it'll take some time for devs to figure it out, as number of peeps here will get the Z5 units.

BTW. upgrading, wanna see some improvments i hope :D
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] tuan209:
Not sure what the firmware fixed but the phone feels a little snappier. The opening of camera is still slow though so I dont expect that to be fixed until their camera update, hopefully.....
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Echts:
Could be that their kernel compiler system stays on the same day (but don't know why they would set it up like that) or.... and this would be almost funny, they actually sent out the wrong kernel (maybe experimental) with the 4.11 release since it's actually built before the old one ^^
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Tommy-Geenexus:
Its the same, i did a source diff.

Great.

I just compared the zImage and ramdisk binaries, and they were different.

But if the source is identical, I stand corrected :good:
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] :
There is no need for unlocking, neither adb update is possible.

You have to wait for ota or you flash it directly via flashtool (not the official sony one) and uncheck wipe data.

But this update is already out via pc companion.

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] NPK06:
Yes, I'd even say stop-motion. It stutters as soon as I switch to video (not when I start recording) and it does 2 fps max. From the lockscreen or the homescreen, same results, also in superior auto and manual.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Tommy-Geenexus:
Alright, just to clarify, have you unlocked your bootloader?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] girthmaul:
After the update, I notice nothing different. My device is working very well.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] willumpie82:
Are you recording to SDcard or to internal flash? i changed my SDcard to a quicker one (Samsung Evo 64gb) and it was a huge improvement
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] NPK06:
I'm saving to internal memory. Before the update, I was saving to external (Sandisk Ultra 64) without any problem or stuttering in fullHD. This is definitely a problem with the update. Photos work well, the screen is quick, but as soon as I switch to filming, whole other story.

Yes, relocked it with flashtool so I could install the update with PC companion
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Tommy-Geenexus:
Alright. I can confirm this issue then, it's definitly annoying.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] dillalade:
Oh dear.

So did the update fix anything for you guys or had it inadvertently borked video recording?

Is this happening to anyone with locked bootloader? As this could potentially be down to the loss of DRM keys?

Thanks
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] thesebastian:
Tell me if this is the problem you are talking about:

When you are using the camera and you press the "red dot" to start recording, there is a stutter of 1-2 seconds before the camera starts recording.

I have this problem and my bootloader is (still) factory locked.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] NPK06:
Not only a stutter when it starts recording. It keeps the frames at less than 1fps during the whole recording. In manual mode, as soon as you switch to video, no need to start recording, same thing. It freezes, and lags, and it's unusable. Videos captured will be sometimes corrupt (did 4 videos, 3 were corrupt, one was a still image for 15 seconds, change of frame at 16th second, stuttering and maybe one or two more frames for the last 10 seconds. Yes, I'm saving directly to internal storage. Changing to SD doesn't change anything) . Tapping the "stop" button makes the loading wheel in the corner continue to spin for a loooong time. Seems to load quicker when you lock the device (the sound it makes when it stops recording is made quicker than if you let it load)

Google camera doesn't give these problems.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] bubimir13:
I do not have these issues with video YET (i dont want to jinx it!). However, i do have a shorter and abysmal battery life, thanks to Google Play services that were running all the time, and ever present radio bug. My SoT is shortened by HALF after the upgrade. Before the update, i didnt have the GPS and radio bug issues.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] dd23:
I have the same brightness issue, even though I'm still on the old firmware 32.0.A.4.11. So we're not alone at least.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] thesebastian:
Yes. Yesterday I went to a "Mediamarkt" store and tried the Z5 Compact in demo.

I reproduced this issue without a problem in that device too.

So I think it's a general issue.

(You just enable Adaptive Brightness --> put the thumb in the proximity sensor -> turn off/on the screen unlocking the device until you see washed colors for a few seconds)

So, it appears just about every region has the update for unlocked handsets..... Apart from the UK.

Anyone know why the UK is always well behind everyone else with this stuff? All manufacturers are the same its bloomin annoying!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] NPK06:
Hey Tommy, I noticed some other odd behaviour in the camera. Taking a macro shot, or just a close-subject shot, the autofocus goes past the point of focus of the object. When I press the camera button (half press) it focuses on the object, then goes a bit beyond. When zoomed-in one tick it does the same, but two ticks it focus properly. This happens with bot manual and auto, in manual all the time, in auto as long as it's already focused when you start the capture it stays that way but when you force the autofocus to restart it does the same. Do you have the same problem?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Tommy-Geenexus:
Yes, unfortunatly.

Other cam Apps are fine, so an update should fix this.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] NPK06:
Thanks, I'm relieved it is indeed the update. Can you use the backup in the settings menu? Mine stop at 50% everytime and I was wondering if it was the BL unlocking that caused this
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Tommy-Geenexus:
Mine too. Not sure if this is related to a bug or due to the loss of DRM keys.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Tommy-Geenexus:
Just as a FYI, Sony has already moved to 32.0.A.6.115, we'll see a new update very soon.

It's all speculation until we get a changelog.

Placebo or not, it feels a tad more responsive with no real heat issues.

Camera still opens with a semi uncomfortable lag.

There are 8 cores in this device yet it seriously struggles to open the camera efficiently. It's really poor from Sony.

If anyone would like me to upload the .32 European FTF file for flashing via flash tool I can.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] supercakefish:
Hope so.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] exploreresp:
You guys unlocked the bootloader to flash it with flash tool ?

Mine says it's locked and I can't do anything.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] supercakefish:
[New Firmware]32.0.A.5.32

Don't unlock it. It destroys precious DRM keys that are critical for decent camera performance. I'd advise waiting for PC Companion to distribute it in your region, like I am. Sony said it'll roll out this coming week. Unless you're in one of the lucky Guinea Pig markets that already have it of course!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] dillalade:
The FTF files we are creating via xperifirm are Stock Sony firmwares, you do not need to unlock BL.

"The only reason" you would unlock your Bootloader is if you wanted to use a custom ROM or a pre-rooted Sony Firmware ROM.

(I've been on xperia since z1c and I can tell you first hand there is no reason why I would go custom with these devices as you will lose the battery and camera performance which this device is rich for.

Stock Sony, rooted, debloated, Nova launcher with xposed is as good as a Cyanogen equivalent rom in my opinion.)

Hence to install the stock Sony firmware updates you simply need to flash the ftf file via Flash tool.

In turn you initially need to produce the ftf file via the aid of xperiafirm before actually flashing the file with Flashtool.

Very straightforward process, with this useful video you will be educated enough to do this yourself https://youtu.be/X_Y-BOWlQdw

Most important part when it comes to actually flashing the ftf file in flash tool is : "DO YOU WANT YOUR USER DATA/APPS ALL IN TACT?"... I do because I don't want to start from scratch, hence in the WIPE checklist in Flashtool simply untick "User Data" to exclude this partition from wiping. You will then get an updated firmware on your device without losing any apps and data - as per a traditional OTA update :beer:

Everything you need to know is in this post for you to get it done.

Is anyone noticing the placement of the WiFi icon in the status bar is now better placed without the big gap between it and the data icon signal? Perhaps I'm remembering incorrectly, but I recall the .11 firmware had a big gap between these 2....?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] exploreresp:
Thanks for the great info ! This is just what I needed that I couldn't find. I'm new to Sony world and I totally agree regarding the rooted xposed stock rom is equal to cyanogen and is what I'm looking for with great battery and camera performance.

I will try to flash it then.

For the root we should wait a clean way that does not imply unlocking bootloader am I right ?

Many thanks again !
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] xaps:
Well, the kernel source is identical, so...

We don't need to speculate, and we also don't need a changelog, if we have the source of both versions and can simply look at the diff.

And I agree, any subjective change in speed or responsiveness must be placebo at this point. If you don't want to look at the source but want a definitive answer, you'll have to do a series of benchmarks and comparisons between the versions, which is a lot of work, if you want to do it right. But really, it's unnecessary. :)

I saw only one post where someone said the binaries weren't identical. This doesn't have any effects, if the source is the same, though. And even if there were changes, is doesn't make any sense to speculate about possible "tweaks" or "better responsiveness", until we know what those changes are exactly...
