Given that this update patches a critical security flaw, I have to say that Sony's rollout is pathetically slow. Some three weeks after the patch was finalized, it still hasn't been released for unbranded phones in many markets including the USA.

Shame on you, Sony. Pull your finger out and release the update globally for all unbranded phones. You owe it to your customers to protect us from this major security issue as quickly as possible.
[Xperia Z2 General] effective:
Give the phone a day or two after the update so it can sync and calibrate.Its normal for the batt. to be worse at the beginning.
[Xperia Z2 General] lee480:
Well, is Samsung pathetic too? They have not fix their older models?
[Xperia Z2 General] mixxx5:
Ok, thx... I figured you told this to me :D

I am wondering... Is this update .264 content all fixes wich came with .232 (battery draining, automatic brightness etc) plus stagefright security fix... Or just stagefright fix?

Asking becase I never got update to .232...

Got . 264 directly from .200
[Xperia Z2 General] knoxploration:
Give it a day or two after what update? As I said, the update still hasn't been released in my market, a full three weeks later than other markets got it.
[Xperia Z2 General] knoxploration:
If they have released a patch for the exact same phone in some markets but not bothered in others, then yes.

Xperifirm, PRF creator and nandroid backup. Done. End tears.
[Xperia Z2 General] knoxploration:
...and warranty.
[Xperia Z2 General] o0 Matt 0o:
Xperifirm then. It's official Sony software. Won't affect warranty.
[Xperia Z2 General] lee480:
So by your definition, is the whole Android industry pathetic?

I don't see HTC, Samsung, LG rushing to fix it, especially for their older models?
[Xperia Z2 General] reptile64:
Anybody else still having the brightness bug?
[Xperia Z2 General] mixxx5:
See I have :(

---------- Post added at 11:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 PM ----------

Is any way to solve this... Or how can be sure it's not working?
[Xperia Z2 General] kalda01:
After installing this update:

1. The wallpaper is gone and can't apply any wallpaper. Black wallpaper is what I have now.

2. The camera app can't save new photos to the SD card. other apps like scanner have no problems with storing to SD.

anyone run into this?
[Xperia Z2 General] mixxx5:
Don't have that issues... Did you try restore to factory settings after update?
[Xperia Z2 General] kalda01:
No. I didn't have the time to wipe my phone after the update. Maybe I'll do it over the weekend.
[Xperia Z2 General] mixxx5:
If do restore, don't forget before make backup.

I have done restore and got nothing... How I see automatic brightness still don't work... And restore didn't back I think it will... So now have spend a lot of time to make all like it was.

Oh wait I remembered it.

You mean that one when the screen is dim and suddenly got brighter with something like vibration in the screen?

It's fixed long ago as I know.

Let's hope that it will be fixed in the Marshmallow update...
[Xperia Z2 General] mixxx5:
If we get that...
[Xperia Z2 General] knoxploration:
They've said we will be getting Marshmallow, so we will. However, the question is how long until we do. Given that about half of all regions for the Z2 haven't even received 23.4.A.1.264 (a critical update) almost an entire month after it was available inside Sony, I'm not holding my breath.
[Xperia Z2 General] o0 Matt 0o:
With tools like xperifirm it's really just your own fault your phone isn't updated. As soon as marshmallow is released you'll be able to install it. Its your choice not to.
[Xperia Z2 General] mixxx5:

264. just arrived to Bularia also..Updating via PCompanion.Will set my feetback later. (: coming from 546.
[Xperia Z2 General] knoxploration:
Complete and utter nonsense. I shouldn't have to flash my phone's firmware to the wrong region to get a security patch in a timely manner. And if I want to retain warranty, I can't modify my own region's firmware to do Sony's job for them. This delay is indefensible.
[Xperia Z2 General] gemtin92:
Then go to Samsung or other, maybe then u will see how fast and long sony support their phones and appreciate this.

I have a android phone accesgo 4e from ZTE and want to install a custom rom Inspire 6 of marsmallow. But I go to cwm recovery or twrp recovery can not, even though I've installed mobileuncle use tool. It has been also use rom manager or flashify and similar applications still can not also. Every time I reboot to recovery is always just a regular reboot. How is the solution admin? when my phone is already rooted.
[Xperia Z2 General] knoxploration:
How *fast* Sony support their phones? You're joking, right?

The word I would use to describe a company which sits on an update it has already completed but can't be bothered to release for an entire month is not "fast".
[Xperia Z2 General] lee480:
well, better than it not appearing at all.

yes, samsung.
[Xperia Z2 General] knoxploration:
Which Samsung flagship model doesn't yet have a Stagefright fix?

Remember, flagship models like the Z2 only; no pointing at entry-level junk and trying to use it to justify Sony's delay on a flagship model.
[Xperia Z2 General] lee480:
All models from S5 to S6 have the fix. But not all regions have it, just like Sony.

[Xperia Z2 General] knoxploration:
So "better than it not appearing at all" was nonsense, by your own admission. Sony has done no better than Samsung has here, despite the puffery from Sony fanboys in this thread.

I did a factory reset and solved this problem. I always do this every 6 months.
[Xperia Z2 General] knoxploration:
It has been a full two months now, and still no sign of this major security patch for an exploit that is out there in the wild, even though it has been available in other regions all of this time. Am I allowed to be disgruntled yet, lee480, or do I have to continue to pretend that Samsung are worse?
[Xperia Z2 General] SkyboneNoya:
Either way this is getting ridiculous. I'll get a new Huawei Mate 8, or even HTC One M10 before sony releases this update..
[Xperia Z2 General] knoxploration:
Amen. Ridiculous is putting it politely.
[Xperia Z2 General] knoxploration:
It has now been as near as makes no difference FOUR months, and Sony still has yet to release this patch in many large markets including the USA, Australia and Russia. Utterly shameful given that this is a major security exploit which is known to be in the wild and has been for months.
[Xperia Z2 General] :
It is gonna be fixed when Marshmallow rolls out. Lollipop is dead by now.
[Xperia Z2 General] knoxploration:
That's inexcusable. For one thing, as I already pointed out the update was completely and ready to roll FOUR MONTHS ago. They could have rolled it any time in the last four months with very little effort. They chose not to, and have left their customers exposed to a critical security exploit which is known to be being taken advantage of in the wild.

Also, how long is it until we receive Marshmallow? My guess is we have another 1-2 months to wait, by which time they will have left us exposed for half a year. With Sony's six-month release cycle, they have effectively left us in danger for the entire lifetime of a Sony phone. You might feel that is acceptable. I do not.
[Xperia Z2 General] o0 Matt 0o:
How do you know how easy it is?

Got proof?

You know there is a fixed firmware and you didn't flash it? You left yourself vulnerable or in *danger* as you put it.

Or you could just turn off autodownload mms and don't browse to dodgy sites? Problem solved.
[Xperia Z2 General] saldirai:
Sony should consider the average user, not the flash-freaks. No one has to unlock bootloader and flash things just because Sony hasnt delivered what it has to. If you love flashing things, that's your hobby, not mine. Not most end-users' who bought Sony.

I dont have .264 either, what can possibly take Sony so long?
[Xperia Z2 General] o0 Matt 0o:
Bootloader status is irrelevant. Maybe you should complain on the Sony Support forum instead of xda?

At the end of the day. You have a problem, you have the tools knowledge and resources to fix your problem. You choose not to :/
[Xperia Z2 General] saldirai:
At the end of the day i have a legit complaint (Sony has not distributed a 'finished security fix of months' to its users), with a legit base (update is out there, some z2 users have already got it) and still somebody pops up defending Sony and telling me that i have to flash firmware. a typical fandroid response which you cant explain to an end-user, who doesnt intend to dig too much into software.

"Mom please dont buy an iphone. instead buy an android and flash custom roms/firmwares for security or please turn your automatic mms delivery off."
[Xperia Z2 General] kamalmawa:

[Xperia Z2 General] reelaax:
I didn't receive that update yet is that because of my location ??

Or is that any thing else I don't know

Xperia Z2
[Xperia Z2 General] knoxploration:
Because the Stagefright fix is quite straightforward, changing it requires little additional testing, and SONY HAS ALREADY COMPLETED THAT WORK FOUR MONTHS AGO.

Of which part? That they chose not to release the update? Open Xperifirm and see for yourself. That customers are exposed to an exploit which is in the wild? That has been widely reported by many trustworthy sources including the EFF. Don't make me do your research for you.

You know not everyone has time to change their phone region every time Sony can't be bothered to release firmware they already created, right? I'm not talking about carrier-issued firmware which has to be tested to carrier standards here, I am talking about stock firmware for unlocked phones purchased direct from Sony or their authorized retailers.

And sorry, but I shouldn't have to cripple the functionality of my phone because Sony can't be bothered to do its job. However, since you're going to be a smartass about it, I'll be blunt: I already disabled auto-download MMS the instant I first found out about Stagefright last year. Stop apologizing for the terrible job Sony has done here, and admit that four months AFTER the fix was available inside Sony and to Sony customers in some regions is reasonable, or you'll be marked down as being a Sony shill.

---------- Post added at 04:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 PM ----------

I have asked Sony repeatedly thru numerous avenues what the status was, including publicly on Twitter. I have received not one single reply.
[Xperia Z2 General] Knutselmaaster:
You spent 10x the time needed to solve it by yourself here complaining.

Stop whining here and update your phone manually, you are making yourself ridiculous.

Or go and whine in Sony official forums, as xda really is not the place for this, xda is for people that search ways to make things happen (and do it by themselves with the available tools) not for people that want manufacturers to make things happen (and wait while doing nothing)

By the way stagefright seems to be no big deal, the media made a lot of noise about it but apparently there are no victims, even after a year since it has been published, at least I didn't hear of any actual misuse of the bug anywhere.
[Xperia Z2 General] knoxploration:
In total, I've spent maybe 10-15 minutes on these forums in the last several months. My last complete backup, wipe and careful reinstallation of everything took about five or six hours. You have no idea what you're talking about.

As for what XDA is about, I have 3.7x as many likes as you, even though I've been here only a couple of years longer, and have barely used the site for the last couple of years. So it seems you're not the arbiter of what is or isn't allowed.

Oh, and I think I'll take reports from reputable experts in the field, rather than the word of one guy who "didn't hear" of a problem.

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drico_649:
I've updated to marshmallow using soak test OTA (XT1544) and noticed that moto actions barely works, when works.

Tried whitelist in Doze Mode all motorola apps, deactivated apps isolated to figure out which one is causing the problem, tested hardware sensors and nothing. It works in first minutes after a reboot, and then stops. I was thinking it was related to RAM (1GB model), because it stops to work when I open a lot of apps, but even when no apps opened, it refuses to work.

My problem is mainly with torch, it's very handy to me in some situations and almost necessary in my phone. I don't care so much about camera because it's not that important, but torch is almost obligatory in some situations...

It's driving me crazy!! :mad:

Someone who have dstv XT1544 variant with 6.0 firmware (24.11.3.osprey_retbr_dstv.retbr.en.BR retbr; MPI24.65-3) is facing the same problem, and someone knows how to resolve? I hope it's a soak test bug, and be fixed in final release...

1. I bought HTC one m7 rooted phone today and shopkeeper told me that today mostly android phones are rooted and used as rooted, it has too many apps in Chinese or Korean language. Tell me about this, is it OK to use this rooted phone.

2. I searched alot about this rooting thing i kinda hating it because it seems to me a messy thing.

3. I want to use my phone as it was manufactured from HTC company. I want to update my device officially not by unrooting it and then updating it. Can i make my phone as it was manufactured.

4. what are the disadvantages of Unrooting my device what risks should i consider?

5. It has great battery life (unrooted) Everything is Perfect but as i cannot update it easily this thing is making me confuse.

Please Shed some light on these 5 points.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Not really. A rooted phone is a common thing for tech savvy ppl like here on xda but most ppl in general won't even know what root is so saying that most android phones are rooted today is false imo.

Why not simply install these apps

It depends what you need to do with the phone. Its ok to use a rooted phone even if you don't need root but be careful to install trusted apps only.

Root is not a messy thing.... its simply mean that you have super user access/privileges on the phone. Its comparable to having an administrator account on your PC.

"For those new to the world of rooting, acquiring root access essentially grants you elevated permissions. With root access, you are able to access and modify files that would normally be inaccessible, such as files stored on the /data and /system partitions. Having root access also allows you to run an entirely different class of third-party applications and apply deep, system-level modifications. And by proxy, you may also be able to access certain device features that would otherwise be inaccessible or use existing features in new ways."

Ref: http://www.xda-developers.com/root/

So you will need to reset the device back to stock.

Updating it without unrooting might be impossible depending the current status of the phone. You'll may have to unroot.

Probably but we will need more info about your phone. You'll have to post the output of "fastboot getvar all" command.

The disadvantages of unrooting your phone are all the advantages you'll lost from a rooted phone. See text above.

The ultimate risk is bricking your phone by doing something wrong in the process, thats why you want to read carefully and ask questions before attempting anything.

What is the question here?.....

Hey would you or anyone else have a TYLT VU Charger ? I bought one Amazon when they were on sale but I also have 2 cheaper knockoffs Itian's. All 3 are working for me I picked up the Black Leather Back. But on the TYLT I have issue where the phone will connect to Wireless charging and then disconnect it might do this up to 3 times or 2x and once the screen turns off it will be connected and can tell by the Green Light. The Itian's just plan connect and don't have this issue. I also have a Nexus 6 and it connects with the TYLT just fine without that issue.

Not sure if's really a issue will give it time since I just got the Leather Back today will see how it perform's.
