You'll need to give it a upto a week for the battery life to settle down after Updating so it can go through a few cycles of charging and discharging. As for internal memory don't forget art runtime takes alot more room up then dalvik ever did mine hovers between 2gb-2.5gb free space in internal memory but I also don't install/play games on my phone. Icons long press on home screen then option on the right to make smaller I think the vibration force was turned up slightly on 5.1
[Sony Xperia M2] Jin-21:
yeah i heard something about the ART architecture, that takes more space on the phone but in return, apss work faster an better...

I Dont know if its just me or is because I just Flashed the phone and that i gotta give the phone a couple of days to settle down to start work properly, but I also noticed that apps take waaay to much time to download and to get installed on the phone. Now, I know that with the ART arquitecture apps take more time when you install them in comparison with Dalvik... but is that also the reason why they take too much time to download? or it has something to do with the Wifi?? it might be coinsidense but right before i flashed the phone, I could use chrome normally, it loaded sites with ease,and now it seems to take forever to load a site when i use the internet or when I download something... again, it might be just me or it might be because i just flashed the phone but I just want to Know if its normal this behavior on the phone...

and also... is there a way to go back to KitKat in case I dont like the way Lollipop works?? and if so, the flashing process is the same?? thanks for your help I really apreciated:)....​
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
Downgrading is the same flashing process but you must Always wipe clean the phone I.e user data and cache options in flashtool you must do this when going from 4.4.4 to 5.1.1 and from 5.1.1 to 4.4.4 to avoid bootloop. You need to give it a few days at least can't say I notice the difference with apps loading also if you flashed 18.6.A.0.175 there are a few bugs(most have fixes or workarounds) that are fixed in 18.6.A.0.182 there's no way I'd go back to KK and if you want xposed or to deodex it you'll need to use either gauravs deodexed z2 port or linuxct's z5 style rom(uses gauravs deodexed port) this is the only way on 5.1

Hi guys, thanks for the ftf. Im having a problem using the flashtools on my d2306, its aborting the operation and i dont get flash. How can I install this ftf? Im using the version 18.6.A.0.175.

Can I make a pre-rooted flash able zip from these ftf?
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
Yes with prf-creator you'll also need latest supersu zip and recovery zip
[Sony Xperia M2] szDevil:
I'm gonna include BETA-SuperSU-v2.67 flash able zip with it. But, I also need a recovery and I don't have the flashable one which supports 5.1.1. I'm already read this. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63726662&postcount=169

But, its a script installer. So, if there's any suggestion for it, plz lemme know.

I'm using a locked D2306.
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
Use multi recovery for lb M2 there's a flashable zip version
[Sony Xperia M2] linuxct:
+1 To Adrian's Answer, you'll need to attach to the PRF the flashable version of MultiRecovery in order to get a full recovery once updated. Pick it from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960688489

Thanks a lot! It worked.

BTW, I got another problem. I've flashed Z5 camera mod on it and it works fine. But, when i flashed Bravia Engine 2 within it, my camera just unfortunately stopped. Give me a solution if you have. Thanks again.

how to flash that ftf(s), i've a d2302, and i want lollipop on it.. ....... i also tried to update it via OTA update but it fails THRICE.

PLZ HELP

THANKS IN ADVANCE.
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
Updates don't work if you are rooted or Bootloader unlocked even if you unroot it won't work. If flashing 5.1 upgrading from KK you must wipe user data, cache and appslog otherwise you'll get bootloop. Also leave out any part of the ftf containing .ta at the end when flashing via flashtool

[Sony Xperia M2] PorrasAndres_:
File D2303

The D2303 file works in Latin American Countries?
[Sony Xperia M2] xazakasrizava:
You could use Xperifirm just to be sure and download your country's firmware
[Sony Xperia M2] tromine:
It sould work but if you're not sure what file to download you can download your FTF file with XperiFirm included with Flashtool 0.9.18.6
[Sony Xperia M2] PorrasAndres_:
Xperifirm

Where can I download Xperifirm?
[Sony Xperia M2] tromine:
XperiFirm is included with Flashtool 0.9.18.6
[Sony Xperia M2] PorrasAndres_:

In xperifirm there is no Firmware of my country for Model d2303

[Sony Xperia M2] tromine:
You can take a generic firmware it works too but check if your network is GSM or CDMA
[Sony Xperia M2] PorrasCarlos:
Model Xperia D2303

Where I can find Latin American firmware...?
[Sony Xperia M2] tromine:
There is a Generic LAM (Latin America) firmware but it's the KitKat version. I recommend you to take the Customized CE1 wich is a Lollipop release.
[Sony Xperia M2] PorrasCarlos:
Where I can download the Firmware you mentioned to me?

I would really appreciate it :)
[Sony Xperia M2] tromine:
In XperiFirm you can download it.

Question....

How do I convert these files to just one?
[Sony Xperia M2] tromine:
If you already have this folder, then you should have the FTF in flashtool/firmwares folder.

If not, then do these things on Flashtool:

Choose your folder

Double click on model and choose Xperia M2 D2303

And then put all the files in the other box

And finally click on Create.
[Sony Xperia M2] tromine:
It says you have to fill model brand and version cases
[Sony Xperia M2] tromine:
In the branding, you have to type the customization of your FTF.

In the version, you have to type the version of your FTF

Example:

[Sony Xperia M2] The Analog Kid:
I have D2306; is that one for D2306 in the OP, a lollipop version? Also, is bootloader unlocked required to flash any of these?
[Sony Xperia M2] Jaggerjacquez:
Hi i know it's kinda late. So here goes.. No u don't need unlocked bootloader to flash it. About the version maybe it's lollipop. But be sure to check it.
[Sony Xperia M2] The Analog Kid:
Sure it's a bit late, I've already dismissed that phone! Thanks anyway!
[Sony Xperia M2] Jaggerjacquez:
You're welcome. So what you using now?
[Sony Xperia M2] The Analog Kid:
That was my daughter's phone. She's got a new one now. Me, I'm on Moto G4 Plus right now, but I'm mostly on all sorts of Moto devices since original Moto G. I love their ease for rooting and reliability. Now, I have my eye put on a Moto Z Play... :good:
[Sony Xperia M2] Jaggerjacquez:
Oh that's good. Nice phone g4p.

I also like moto phones but haven't got the chance to get one. Maybe later I'll get one. I like Z2 play they just released back then.

Stock Android with moto actions really nice, i think.

But is moto still the same since lenovo bought them tho?

---------- Post added at 04:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 AM ----------

N i read that u guys g4p owners got oreo postponed n they changed the decision for that
[Sony Xperia M2] The Analog Kid:
You know, original Motorolas had "some" design personality and great quality build. However, I've never owned an original Motorola smartphone, so I can't really tell about significant differences more than that; though it's been a long time ever since and I think Lenovo is doing quite well for quality and continuing former Google's ownership for Android easiness policy. Me, except for the well known screen "burn issue" on Moto G4 devices, I've been very happy with every single Moto device I've owned. This one included. As for updates, since I'm rooted, I didn't even tried a Nougat update. I don't care that much about those things; but everybody knows Motos are always the first in line for updates. Oreo is, right now, far from my own priorities indeed, so I can't really tell you about such decision... Sorry.
[Sony Xperia M2] Jaggerjacquez:
Well it's okay then. I owned one moto back in the old days. Quite good. I gotta say but battery died tho.

Yes design languages were better back then. Now, not so much but still alright. So you're rooted n on lollipop now? How's that going for u? Smooth sailing n all?

If so glad to hear that
[Sony Xperia M2] The Analog Kid:
Not Lollipop. Marshmallow it is. Smooth is most of the time. Just very occasionally some app wants to force close, but that is all about rooting. No big deal... I read somewhere that Lenovo was about to resurrect the V3 Razzr, so there must be some sort of nostalgia among classic Motorola users...
[Sony Xperia M2] Jaggerjacquez:
Well that happens every now n then. Oh yeah? Razr was good n the flip style too.

[Sony Xperia M2] Denverson:
Help at least someone, the phone needs to be reanimated, I connected the official program from Sony, and they turned off support and the firmware is not loaded. I need the official stock firmware 18.6.A.0.182-R1C (for D2302), I searched on the Internet but did not find it anywhere. It is very necessary, without a phone as without hands.
[Sony Xperia M2] xazakasrizava:
Didn't find RC1 but the link for RC3 seems to be working.
[Sony Xperia M2] Denverson:
RC3 is not suitable, it is either customized or I don’t know what’s wrong with it, but applications that require original firmware (without any changes) are not installed on this one. Therefore, the last hope that maybe someone here can help

On my WM6 rom on o2 XDA exec it's under start/settings/connections/network wizard, but it may not have been included in your rom for the treo. If it's not on your phone, have a poke around here and on the web for it
[LG G Pro 2] mseif:
I have recenetly updated my F350L to 5.0.1 via LG PC Suite, everything looke smooth and fast but I faced 2 issues:

1- I think the battery is draining faster than Kitkat 4.1.

2- In the KItkat, when I put the phone in the silent state even then the alarm clock used to wotk smoothly and with no further setup. Now,i must set the prioirty for the alarma in the setting every time i switch the phone to silenet, the best they can do is to keep this setting for 8 hours only, so it means I have to do it manually after 8 hoyrs every time.

Any help for the above issue, will be appreciated.

[LG G Flex 2] Masteryates:
As a G2 owner, I used my GF's GF2 to death when on holiday in Vegas for a week. The speed of the laser focus blew away my G2 in good lighting conditions but repeatedly failed to focus correctly in low light conditions. The G2 would take an age to focus but tended to get in right and produce good shots. :cool:

We tested this theory with both HDR and non HDR and the results were always the same. :eek:

If I was after a new phone and photography was really important to me, I'd go for the G4 or Nexus 6P. The GF's GF2 was using 5.1.1 so no excuses for the poor low light performance due to out of date firmware.

[Elephone P8000] DeeKay773:
Hi guys :)

Despite I really like my phone, I've found that it has little bright spots on the right side of the screen in a line. I've seen somebody to mention it's called display clouding, and I am wondering, if you have this problem too. I am thinking if i should send it back to elephone, cause it may get worse, or just keep it, because it's probably because of bad quality of LCD panel. I've seen many chinese phones have it.

How to check if your phone has these clouds:

set brightness on maximum

open as white screen as possible (internet browser for example)

carefully check for brighter spots

Thanks for reply! :)
[Elephone P8000] stonedpsycho:
I have this also, heard many other people have aswell. I brought mine 2nd hand on ebay so do not have the option to send it back, for the 3 months ive had the phone it has not got worse though.
[Elephone P8000] -Tiz-:
Little brights spots does not sound like clouding. Can you post a photo?
[Elephone P8000] jknarf:
Same here, but I don't care that much.

When it will get worser I simply by a new replacement panel.

As long the other parts of the phone ar working ok, everythings fine.

Don't forget it is a china budget phone. I'd never expect any wonder. And cmpared to my previous smartphones, Xperias, Motorolas and HTCs this phone makes a good job and is a good deal.

Cheers
[Elephone P8000] stonedpsycho:
I have taken this photo from the elephone forum, thankfully mine is not as bad as this. But gives a good indication of the problem many of us are facing.
[Elephone P8000] -Tiz-:
This streak of light looks horrible indeed. No such thing on my phone. Just minor ununiformities aka clouding (not worth talking about).
[Elephone P8000] Rizera:
Well, maybe I am just lucky, but so far I had my phone since October and no clouding in my display. How exactly does this happen? Can it get worse over time?
[Elephone P8000] pitrus-:
Mine also has this problem, unfortunately cloudings in background light placed in a line and quite visible all time, and it is getting worse. So I've bought a new display from Ali, hope it will fare better.
[Elephone P8000] Autobahn91:
The only thing I have to mention is on the bottom of the screen there is some darker clouding.

Like there are some "small black clouds" coming up from the bottom of the screen :/

And since I am new here I can't post outside links to show you that. :mad:

thanks, O. Tokar :)

elephone: hi,friend,we have checked your video, it is the problem of the screen,has long white line light , but normally if you want to repair, it need to change a new screen for it, if you change it, then you need to pay for it.

me: ok, i unterstand. but i thought this can be fixed for free because of the one year warranty from elephone, since the Problem was not caused by me.

elephone: hi,friend, for this questions, we checked it exactly from elephone service center, and if change new screen, it need to pay for it, like battery or screen, they are not under the warranty, just can fix free,cannot change free.sorry friend, we had tried best to help you.
[Elephone P8000] Baron1971:
Ok, the next Phone is no Elephone....!

This is in Germany clearly a reason for a complaint.

Have you ever written to the "Repair Service" in Bruchsal?

Das ist in Deutschland ganz klar ein Grund für eine Reklamation.

Hast du mal den "Repair-Service" in Bruchsal angeschrieben?
[Elephone P8000] dr_root:
i don't have contact the repair service, but i think that they wouldn't repair for free. this is just a repair service with official parts from elephone, not a official elephone support.

ja in deutschland ist das keine frage, aber in china denken sie sich wohl was anderes....
[Elephone P8000] lenovop780:
Can you post the link where you bought the replacement panel? How much? Any tutorials how to change it?
[Elephone P8000] dr_root:
i've read on the official elephone forum, that someone has also replaced the panel. but the clouding came again after some weeks. this is not a fault of the lcd panel, its an engineering fail.
[Elephone P8000] lenovop780:
I've met with a mobile technician and he told me it's actually vapour. In a branded phone, they use a good gel beneath the amoled screen - something which is not to be found in these chinese mobile phones.

How can I unlock bootloader in my galaxy alpha?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Accessories] andywright1982:
I've had my s6 edge+ for around 5 months now and always fancied trying out a wireless charger for convenience and to try and save my USB port from accidental damage and every day wear and tear. I've been using the newest Choetech fast wireless charging pad during the past week and have been extremely pleased with its performance. Charging times using Samsungs fast charger plug have not been any different and when I have used via a USB port on my computer it seems like it has actually improved the charging times which is a bonus. It is even strong enough to charge the phone with my Spigen case still on which I was surprised about.

It is really well made with rubberised feet on the bottom and it is a large size with a great contact area so that the phone doesn’t fall off and you don’t have to spend a long time trying to place the phone in the perfect position for charging to commence. There is an LED on the front which notifies when charging has commenced and will turn off when the phone is fully charged

I did have a slight issue with my charger which developed a fault. I sent an email to the technical support team who replied back within 24hrs and after establishing it couldn’t be fixed, a new one was sent to me within 3 days. Their customer support is really excellent and much better than I have had with other mobile accessory suppliers.

Overall, I'm definitely hugely pleased with my charger and will be looking to purchase a second for my desk at work as it is so much more convenient charging it this way.

Here is a link for the device I bought
