But why would you dubble tab on the screen and then use the fingerprint. Just hold the button and it will open. much easier

So I don't understand the handling.

[Xperia Z5 General] gm007:
After flashing the firmware and boot ur phone, directly go and do a factory reset and do no restore backup,just install all app from playstore.
[Xperia Z5 General] blakwhite:
It's not only with double tap. Fingerprint does not work if you last turned off the screen with anything other than the power button.
[Xperia Z5 General] neo6776:
You still have to push the button to wake the phone.

Merely placing your finger on it doesn't unlock it.

Just finished the PC Repair option, and I am now on "Customized a IL" 6.0. When you check Xpericheck it looks like they have released a load more versions.

Anyone know what Customized a IL is? I am in the UK, but was running the RU 6.0.

EDIT: Just realised that RU is also 32.1.A.1.163-R4C, so I am probably still on RU. I think I need to wait till the general UK version comes out so I can test finger print sensor, and then send it in for repair if it doesn't appear again.
[Xperia Z5 General] Sckank:
I got it here in Norway/Telenor. Not OTA but via my computer. =D
[Xperia Z5 General] bartolo5:
Just finished spending 24 hours with new firmware.

Wow! The difference between 5.1.1 and 6.0 is like night and day. Clearly SONY founds gazillion bugs that they didn't bother patching on 5.1.1 and added them to 6.0. Hopefully SONY will be quick now with the 6.x releases the way they were with lollipop.

Backup data before clean install

To expert users who have updated and done clean install:

I will update through PCC or XC, any difference?

What is the best method to do clean install? Factory reset? Before or after update?

Most importantly:

What is the best

(safest, most thorough, most convenient...)

method to backup user data before clean install?

I want to keep photos etc., but more so I need to

backup app settings

, all of them. Too much hassle to do a clean install if it entails re-configuring all apps afterwards.
[Xperia Z5 General] LitoNi:
its not about unlocking, but rather locking. i think most people find it difficult and/or uncomfortable to lock the phone with the power key, swiping or clicking a shortcut is much faster imho.

I hope acknowledges this and fix it
[Xperia Z5 General] ciprianmp:
Likewise. Good Nordic morning! [emoji6]

Xperia Z5 E6653 w/ Tapatalk
[Xperia Z5 General] zippy01:
The point in clean install is to start again with apps because if you restore a backup you could be restoring a conflict.

As for pictures and messages I backup pictures on my SD and use sms backup and restore for messages. I'll also remove my Google account before I restore.

Flashtool is next with all wipe options checked
[Xperia Z5 General] goRt:
I backed up using PCC did a clean [Russian] install and nearly all app settings recovered after letting google install AL my apps
[Xperia Z5 General] LitoNi:
Use PCC if you dont know the more complicated stuff. Back up manually by copying the files you want to keep to your desktop, then factory reset the phone twice before the update of course. I rather start clean, its too much of a hassle and more likely to run into problems if you back up app settings. If this is too much then just update it through PCC w.o factory reset.
[Xperia Z5 General] gm007:
I usually flash the firmware with full wipe or repair via pcc and after booting i do again factory reset.

[Xperia Z5 General] bassbox:
Did I miss the fix for the returning "Google play services need a newer google play services..." even after already updating it to the latest version?
[Xperia Z5 General] E5823:
Thanks for answering.

So you're basically saying: 1 Do a clean install without restoring app settings OR 2 don't bother with clean install, just update over old?

Is flashtool necessary, can you not do factory reset then update via PCC or Xperia Companion?
[Xperia Z5 General] zippy01:
Flashtool isn't necessary I just use it as my preferred method.

Either clean install or not I can't answer for you :) I would always choose clean install for major update
[Xperia Z5 General] yashenr:
Reboot your phone a few times, it will eventually update. Mine updated after the third reboot.
[Xperia Z5 General] E5823:
So you backed up your apps to google before doing the clean install?

Other users say I shouldn't back up app settings as it wouldn't be a clean install then...?
[Xperia Z5 General] hadec:
so guys i was thinking..if i flash lollipop again and i root and install custom recovery and then reflash lollipop i will most likely loose the customm recovery because it reflases everything?my point is does it worth the pain sso i can have custom recovery?
[Xperia Z5 General] gm007:
Backup only media and contacts,wipe all ur phone and install all the apps again from playstore thats the best experience.
[Xperia Z5 General] bassbox:
It already updated once after the MM Update, went to 8.7.03 but the message still appears once in a while. Whats your play service version? same or higher?
[Xperia Z5 General] gm007:
Flashing the firmware will revert u back to stock with no root and no recovery.

---------- Post added at 12:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 PM ----------

Uninstall play service update and update it again.
[Xperia Z5 General] bassbox:
Ofc I did this, didn't helped.

But after a reboot there was another update. Took forever to install. Shows still the same 8.7.03 update. Let's see if the message will stay away now.
[Xperia Z5 General] gm007:
That's why a factory reset is needed.
[Xperia Z5 General] ciprianmp:
Strange. Going to Diagnostics it shows there is a new software available.

Clicking on the right download button, gets me to Software update which has nothing new.

Opening the link (for Norway Z5 model), it shows 5.1, same as before.

So I suspect the OTA is uploaded somewhere on a server, just the update not pointing to the right place? Not really a question, just some info. [emoji6]

[Xperia Z5 General] bassbox:
For Now-On-Tap to appear I forced the update to the MM "Google" App version by uninstalling all updates and reinstalling. Now there is now-on-tap but the "Welcome at now on tap" info won't disappear even after I did the "tutorial"

anyone got the same problem? On the third page in the tutorial it says something like "Try it ou" Hold the home button to get to know more about Alt-J" and its like he does not recognize me doing this..
[Xperia Z5 General] coleburns:
I have checked but havent seen if it has been asked but has anyone in the UK managed to get an update? I have an unlocked phone from amazon
[Xperia Z5 General] welshlad:
Only O2, Virgin & Vodafone live at the moment. I'm sure we'll get it in the next couple of days!
[Xperia Z5 General] Oemenia:
I'm on O2 and I haven't got it yet.
[Xperia Z5 General] coleburns:
Thanks. I assume this is via pc companion?
[Xperia Z5 General] E5823:
Ok, thanks.

One more question: If I do a quick, dirty update now and later regret it or see a need for a clean install, then what do I need to do? Factory reset only? Software repair with PCC/XC? Or do I need to use twrp or flashtool?
[Xperia Z5 General] welshlad:
Have you got O2 branded firmware?

Yeah
[Xperia Z5 General] Oemenia:
Sorry wouldn't know, I did get it from them though on a monthly contract if that helps.
[Xperia Z5 General] goRt:
My contacts are synced with my google account.

I tried a dirty flash first time and got the play store / play services issue which I couldn't fix.

Then used PCC to backup call log. Reset phone (on the phone menus).

Signed into google, google asked to install all apps, which I let it, then restored app settings / calls / texts through PCC. No issues.

Getting Stuck while updating.

Update through Bridge for Mac getting stuck at 30% Is there any way to troubleshoot or to overcome on this? :confused: I've more than 100 Mbps internet speed! Along with that, I've tried to update through PC even. While I connect my phone to PC through Xperia companion App getting crashed. Solution please!:rolleyes:
[Xperia Z5 General] gkkovacs:
I did that adb command to 440, and it had some effect, but the problem is build.prop (ro.sf.lcd_density) still contains the default 480 value, so other apps (like SwiftKey) have serious display problems. Is there any way to change the build.prop value from adb (without root)?
[Xperia Z5 General] gm007:
Easier way is to try another pc with Windows 7 if available.
[Xperia Z5 General] rajkant1984:
You have to update via pc, I have the same situation yesterday.
[Xperia Z5 General] chenliangchen:
Also wondering as well. Seem to use ADB to re-mount system and pull build.prop, edit and push back. But I don't know if should be done under recovery. I also want to remove navigation bar with modding DPI...

Hidden service menu (*#*#4636#*#*): No more battery information

In Poland, there is no update as well. I just checked through my PC companion if there is any. Does anyone have a link to clean European firmware? :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z5 General] gamer649:
It's likely that the Sony servers are experiencing high demand at this moment in time with the update being released yesterday, this will cause problems with downloads of files. Please be patient and try every hour or so.

[Xperia Z5 General] 4RM4N1:
After 1 day using the Update I can say that I miss the Stamina Mode. I just left the phone over night without charging it. I had 95% before going to bed and the next Morning 89%. Another point is, that the DSEE HX doesn't work anymore. You don't need to enable this function anymore. Has the same Sound but Clear Audio+ is decent as in the Older Updates.
[Xperia Z5 General] jackq:
You can use DE (niemiecka) or RU (rosyjska) IMO these are the same versions like CE.

I always use these because CE came out too late (still is v .152).

What I remember about UK firmwares is that will be the last to get the update.

[Xperia Z5 General] TheCraig:
Sorry to bring this up again so late, but why not include a benchmark utility to get read/write speeds and then allow/refuse the ability to use adoptable storage? It was the sole reason I was anticipating MM - it doesn't interest me otherwise. The update on a whole is pretty good, phone seems much smoother but that may be placebo effect kicking in. Regardless it's a welcomed update, but a bit of a let down. Sort of hoping adoptable storage makes its way to us along with the supposed return of Stamina Mode; which imho destroys Doze.

[Xperia Z5 General] bassbox:
This is by default included with Android 6 and the adopted storage story..

btw: Anyone else got this problem with Gmail? I receive emails asap. No problem there. Same for Whatsapp. When I read Whatsapp Messages on my Computer the Phone stops notification for them..

but for Gmail.. When I read/archive a Mail on my Computer the phone continues blinknig as the email on the phone sits there as "new" and unread for ages.. It doesn't seem to synch right.

Synching new emails -> no problem

Synching when emails have been read/archived on computer -> take ages, mostly only after I opened gmail on phone..
[Xperia Z5 General] ciprianmp:

I'm waiting for the UK Unlocked release, I remember the previous big update also left the unlocked version last - I don't understand why! Anyway, I'm planning on doing a clean install as i've been stuck with max 2.5 hours SoT in Lollipop and have avoided doing a repair (lazy). Does anyone know whether I should refrain from restoring a back-up after doing a full wipe/repair - will restoring a backup negate the benefit of doing a wipe/repair?
[Xperia Z5 General] zippy01:
Depends if a conflict had been backed up also. I'd always recommended not restoring a backup

[Xperia Z5 General] bassbox:
I didn't say anything that might have lead you to make this conclusion. It is NOT included by Sony.

But Google implemented it in Android 6 that way, that of course the card speed is tested before you can set it as adopted storage..
[Xperia Z5 General] ciprianmp:
My English then. Well done Sony! :)

Xperia Z5 E6653 w/ Tapatalk
[Xperia Z5 General] bassbox:
This still sounds as if you would think you will get the option to use your sdcard ad adopted storage. No you won't. Sony did remove this option from Android 6.

I was only reffering to you suggesting a speedtest should/could be done before lettings users use their cards as adopted storage. And this is done. In the basic implementation of adopted storage made by google. But sony DID NOT include this in our update. No adopted storage for us Z5 owners. Sorry if this lead to any confusion.
