When auto brightness is switched on and the phone is just unlocked the screen is very bright for a few seconds under any light before its corrected. Not like 1-2 it's like 4-5 seconds which isn't very good. I don't believe it's happening to everyone but I experienced it on UK generic and Nordic firmware
[Xperia Z5 General] BR4DOKYBrazil:
When you turn on the device screen, we note that it activates with a excess brightness and after 1 or 2 seconds it back to normal. Not so with the auto-brightness disabled.
[Xperia Z5 General] coleburns:
Ahh, i thought it was just me. It's been driving me f**king crazy as i had to turn off auto brightness. Good to know i wasn't going mad.
[Xperia Z5 General] zippy01:
Problem I found with turning auto brightness off is sometimes it's difficult to see the screen and having to manually alter it when your struggling to see it and you need to make a quick call not the best thing ? so had to just deal with it for now and hope it's fixed in marshmallow
[Xperia Z5 General] dd23:
According to the Sony Forum the auto brightness bug should be fixed with the Android 6 (Marshmallow) update. I think this should affect all 3 models of the Z5 (Z5, Z5C, Z5P).

Let's hope for the best :)
[Xperia Z5 General] generalsims:
I had the same issue, all fixed now. Uk generic

GPS slow sync since last update?

Hello, since last update, it seems that gps is very slow to catch up the sattelites?

Before update it was 5 / 10 sec max to sync using waze.

Right now every morning it's 2/3 min after getting out the garage.

Anyone experiencing the same or is this bad luck for me? :p
[Xperia Z5 General] Ben36:
I'm currently out working at a school with only data connection (no wifi) and opening maps and it found me within seconds
[Xperia Z5 General] tomo100brt:
For me sometimes GPS can't get my location. And when I go to Aplications to uninstall some app Settings application chrashes sometimes. Previous firmware was better.
[Xperia Z5 General] BR4DOKYBrazil:
I really wanted to Sony fixed the battery life! When they launched the Lollipop for Z2, battery life much worse. Soon after they fixed!
[Xperia Z5 General] doministry:
Battery life is great on Z5.
[Xperia Z5 General] halfblack:
You haven't used older Zs I assume? Because Z5 battery life is OK at best, especially in comparison. For my Z1 it was great on 4.4, mediocre on 5.0 and again great on 5.1.1. Same for Z3 and Z3C uses by family.

Z5 losses power on 5.1.1 much, much faster.
[Xperia Z5 General] BR4DOKYBrazil:
In moderate use of WhatsApp, my device goes from 100% to 90% in two hours. I have made the battery runs out completely. On my Z2 it took longer to get to these same %. But when it got 15% ended up very fast. Sometimes it was the Z2 meter that was unregulated.

If I stay with the screen on in WhatsApp, percentage rapid drains. A lot of people complaining about it. Including Z5P!

Does full wipe solve?
[Xperia Z5 General] doministry:
You ask me?

Mate I've been using Xperias since the first X1.

Z2 on latest FW was the best for batt life.

Z5 is slightly worse because it has a smaller battery and different screen.

But still it's really good. 4:40 SOT is remarkable.
[Xperia Z5 General] BR4DOKYBrazil:
But the CPU Z5, even though more powerful, does not consume less battery to be more current?
[Xperia Z5 General] augie7107:
I was waiting for this response, lol. I've been with them since X1 also and can remember you in several Xperia forums on XDA and others?
[Xperia Z5 General] doministry:
Well it's actually a lot longer. I'm with them since P800 and I went through all the Pseries as well. Which were outstanding.
[Xperia Z5 General] Bramzzz:
I'm in holland and haven't seen this update you guys are talking about, I guess we're getting the MM update in Januari (praying this happens) and skipping this one (which if I'm correct, doesn't bring any big changes anyway)

In the Netherlands the 200 update ist only for T-Mobile and Vodafone branding available, anyways you can flash any other version (generic France, UK or Germany are up to date).

One thing I can say about this update, the camera is much improved over the first few firmwares I used. I was disgusted previously by the camera photo quality, worse than the Xperia Z.
[Xperia Z5 General] HelderLucas74:
Hi, do you have the. 200 already? Could you try something for me? In the actual. 152, the live wallpaper CosmicFlow doesn't work, im afraid the drivers and the kernel doesnt allow it to start. Could you check if they corrected it for me? You'll have to download it, the old CosmicFlow from the Xperia NXT series. Thanks in advance mate!!

Sure, but can you link it for me?

[Xperia Z5 General] halfblack:
Unfortunately it crashes when I try to select it.
[Xperia Z5 General] fancymans:
Does it matter what region I download from Xperifirm? As long as it's the release I want it should still be the same right? I got mine unlocked from Taiwan, but Taiwan's Latest release is still 6.170. If I flash UK Customized 6.200 will it still work?
[Xperia Z5 General] a00r:
I have the Taiwanese version guess no updates for .200
[Xperia Z5 General] HelderLucas74:
Thanks for trying it for me, im so sad I cant run this wallpaper, its silly I know but i've been using it since Xperia S, all my phones had this running (Xperia L, Z1, Z2, Z3 Compact) and now the Z5 crashes the application, hope it changes with the Marshmallow since I find this version of the Loli very naked, also dislike the green assets on the blue theme, orange was a better contrast on blue! Not to mention the dark and light themes! Anyway thanks for the help buddy, very appreciated!

Does anybody experience connection problems to the internet?

If I dont use my z5 with the newest fw (germany) for a while and then start using it again it takes some seconds (4-7?) to be able to load stuff from the internet.

Connection is fine all the time, it just doesnt seem to have access?!

I cant explain it, the problem just occured after updating it.

So either downgrade it or find a better sollution...

(anybody got a link how to downgrade it to the fw version before?)
[Xperia Z5 General] itsjustmeagain:
Mine does this too. Before and after firmware upgrade.
[Xperia Z5 General] zippy01:
Now you mention it I might have some issue do you get it with all apps? Do you have any ad blocker?
[Xperia Z5 General] hebbe:
this might be due to stamina mode. do you have stamina mode enabled?
[Xperia Z5 General] Poerger:
Yeah I do - but I figured that might be the case and turned it off. No change whatsoever :(
[Xperia Z5 General] hebbe:
hmmm....I've got stamina enabled as well, and i can observe the same problem. after being in standby (deep sleep?) for a while, it takes a couple of seconds to establish data connections, even wifi (seems to be disconnected).

when stamina is off, it doesn't seem to happen...at least i think so with my device.
[Xperia Z5 General] langeveld024:
If u enable stamina for the first time, it shows u a message. That message tells u the Internet connection will be disabled when in standby.
[Xperia Z5 General] zippy01:
I've never had stamina mode on at all
[Xperia Z5 General] blakwhite:
Disable "stamina clock". You may use other stamina options though.
[Xperia Z5 General] tomo100brt:
Does anyone have any sollution? I can't uninstall apps using Settings --> Application. Can't even go in Application. Settings crashed after few seconds when I open Settings --> Application. On previous build this was OK but after update to 32.0.A.6.200 firmware this appears. Software repair and reset did not help. Maybe Android 6.0.1 fixes this? Or I will have to install Android 6.0.1 with wiphing everything?
[Xperia Z5 General] coleburns:
no issues after the upddate, what are you trying to uninstall?
[Xperia Z5 General] tomo100brt:
What am I trying to uninstall? Nothing at the moment. I am saying that I can't go in Settings --> Application! It crashes! But when I uninstall app in menu it works.
[Xperia Z5 General] langeveld024:

http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/12/01/new-update-32-0-a-6-200-now-rolling-to-xperia-z5-series/

Not noticing anything visually different. Also for everyone on Windows 8 and 10, remember that you need to disable Driver Verifcation or else Flashtool can't recognize your device.

http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/

EDIT: I've never seen this little keyboard icon before, is it new or is this some default keyboard setting?
[Xperia Z5 General] rajkant1984:
Guys any idea android m update!!
[Xperia Z5 General] butilities:
Its a handy icon so you can switch quickly between different types of keyboard installed. Xperia Rom comes with its default xperia keyboard and you are currently using google keyboard. If you only have one keyboard (uninstall others), the icon will dissappear.
[Xperia Z5 General] TimAhKin:
I have couple of days now since I've updated to .200.

Auto-brightness bug is still there and battery life is better. Oh, and 4G icon is bigger. That's it :)
[Xperia Z5 General] pieman13:
No update for me. US t mobile. Not even the PCC will update my phone, says it up to date.
[Xperia Z5 General] wschom:
I just used the flash tool and picked a customized version. Last time I used the German version. I am on t-mobile with no issues.
[Xperia Z5 General] BR4DOKYBrazil:
Fullwipe?
[Xperia Z5 General] zippy01:
Do you not have the bug since the update?
[Xperia Z5 General] wschom:
No full wipe. Everything seems to work fine. Pictures seem to be a bit less grainy after processing but this is difficult to verify as I did not take sample photos before. I believe the battery may be lasting a bit longer too. I still haven't run it a full day without putting it back on the charger.
[Xperia Z5 General] pieman13:
Can someone direct me where I can find a how to so I can flash the latest update?
[Xperia Z5 General] fancymans:
Search for how to use flashtool/XperiaFirm. I think there are a couple YouTube videos on it as well.

Download the newest flashtool and it comes with XperiaFirm. :)

I don't think there's a specific how to for the Xperia Z5 yet. Just follow the same directions for other devices except you download the firmware with respect to your own device. Hope that helps a bit!
[Xperia Z5 General] pieman13:
got the flash tool (emma) and says my phone is locked, to update your phone go sonymobile. Any ideas?
[Xperia Z5 General] augie7107:
Wrong flashtool, search androxyde
[Xperia Z5 General] pieman13:
Got the right one, AM I better off using tmobile from norway or generic unbranded?
[Xperia Z5 General] augie7107:
Your call. Carrier branded firmwares come with carrier apps that can be disabled but not uninstalled. Make sure you read the FlashTool home page. Not sure if they are still stating to use x10flasher.jar patch.
[Xperia Z5 General] BR4DOKYBrazil:
The bug of auto-brightness still in .200.
[Xperia Z5 General] pieman13:
I didn't see an unbranded generic option. I would rather that if I could find it.
[Xperia Z5 General] augie7107:
Which country?
[Xperia Z5 General] pieman13:
US
[Xperia Z5 General] augie7107:
No US firmware yet. Almost positive the T-Mobile variant is European. Generic LAM is as close as you'll get (Latin America) under E6603 but this firmware is stuck on 152. I've used all the versions before in US without issue. I'm currently on Vodafone Germany since that's where I got the phone. I'm in US as well.
[Xperia Z5 General] pieman13:
GUess I'll stick to the tmobile denmark then for now.
[Xperia Z5 General] dd23:
Yes, but it will be fixed with Marshmallow, according to the Sony Forum.
[Xperia Z5 General] BR4DOKYBrazil:
Excellent! Tks for the info!
[Xperia Z5 General] TimAhKin:
Yes. And I've noticed that the bug occurs a lot more with this firmware.

Oh well, we get marshmallow next year right? :) January or February.

[Xperia Z5 General] tomo100brt:
32.0.A.6.200 is the worst firmware for Z5 series after initial firmware. This firmware has big battery drain; mobile radio active bug maybe. 32.0.A.6.152 firmware did not have any problems. I flash back to 32.0.A.6.152 firmware and battery drain has gone. Don't flash 32.0.A.6.200 firmware. Wait for 32.1.A.1.163 firmware. It is better although it has bugs. 32.0.A.6.152 firmware battery lasts 2 days (no problems), 32.0.A.6.200 firmware battery lasts barely one day (no other problems), 32.1.A.1.163 lasts more than 2 days (but firmware is buggy).

Hello Folks,

So i'd like to share something about note 4. I just came back home after selling my "6TH note 4" because of camera and screen issue. My phone was showing these weird lines in pictures which would only be visible under "AMOLED CINEMA" screen mode...the screen was kind of faded from one corner. My 5th note 4 had focus issues....it woudn't focus for like 20 seconds after opening camera app and would only focus after shaking it or waiting 20-30 seconds. My 4TH Note 4 had wavy lines which appeared in camera and videos when taken in low light. My 3rd one had wifi reconnecting issue it would randomly show "connected to wifi"......the list goes on....I

EDIT: This is the problem i was facing, just googled and found this http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-4/457549-lines-screen-when-looking-photos.html switching to "adaptive display" fixes the issue but seeing dark photos in "amoled cinema" would bring back these lines.

I am really fed up and broke after my experience with note 4 i have never faced so many quality issue in any of my previous phones i have used s3,s4,s5,note3,galaxys6 there is something seriously wrong with samsung's note 4 division. Note that all these phone were bought "BRAND NEW" and were sold for much less. Here is my honest advice to all those considering this phone. Please do yourself a favour and stay away from it.....go through Troubleshooting section of note 4 and you will find that i am not the only person who has issues with this phone there are countless threads for "note 4 camera not focusing" ....blah blah blah. Just wanted to share my experience it was my last samsung device. Goodbye samsung they call you "cheap plastic" for a reason :good:

I enabled the "Show touch" from the developers settings part, and when i touch this area, i can see the white circle so this means that the hardware is detecting my finger but no response occured on the mobile so it seems that the software is not responding to my actions, this problems disappears by restart but after 15 mins from the restart it occures again and disappear only by restarting the mobile, also this problems occures with the android and all applications.

When I bought this phone my stock firmware version was V100R001C636B150. I updated my phone few days ago. My current firmware version is ALE-L21C636B150...

Yesterday I downloaded a stock firmware from Huawei website. Its for Huawei P8 Lite (ALE-L21) Firmware V100R001C636B120..Sorry I can't give the link because I am a new member...

Anyone please confirm me that can I flash this firmware in my device...?

If I want to flash stock firmware which I downloaded would I replaced the TWRP by Stock recovery and locked the bootloader again before flash...?

Why would you want to flash B120 over B150?

Instead find new builds for your model (C636)...

Anyways, to answer your questions, you can flash the firmware. Flashing will however set the recovery to stock recovery and you'll lose root. It won't lock your bootloader however.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JasonTo:
Ok, so my g2 is simply not entering deep sleep so the battery is draining like crazy (I lose 20%-30% when just leaving it from fully charged overnight).

I want to know what is the likely cause of these wake-locks as I am reluctant to root- (still in the vain hope of an update from LG ;) )

At first I checked the normal battery information and found that 'android os' was keeping the phone awake and was using 49% which can't be normal.

So I installed betterbattterystats and this confirmed that something was causing the phone to stay awake when the screen's off. (the deep sleep percentage is when I switched off WiFi altogether to test it).

Obviously I can't check the partial wake-locks section as I'm not rooted.

And also, if I do have to root - how easy is it? Is it as simply to use towelroot or something similar, and how easy is it to go back to stock (if lg get their act together and push an update).
