Singapure FW is 4G or LTE icon?

Lot of bloatware or not?

It receave updates very fast compared anothers!
[Xperia Z5 General] chonglee83:
32.1.A.1.185 on Singtel

Signal Icon is on LTE

New firmware does get push down OTA, but not as fast as US I would say. Stock unbranded for SG are even faster than Carrier definitely!

Bloatware not much I would say, depend on how you rate apps, does come with commonly used apps.
[Xperia Z5 General] tomo100brt:
I don't have that problem with focus/shot button in the pocket.
[Xperia Z5 General] tori_mc:
Because this way you have the possibility to change modes and watch and modify photos, with the camera key your phone remains locked and allows you anly to take photos in auto mode.
[Xperia Z5 General] dfavefenix:
Yeah but the good thing is that i just have one registered fingerprint and it works the 100% of times

There is an improvement of WiFi, when phone is in deep sleep mode, WiFi turned on and you come in WiFi area, the phone won't connect to the WiFi which was connected before until you unlock the phone, now the phone can connect without be unlocked.

Shame. Now I can't see if my phone is Awake or not. Because Android System is using the most of my battery. But I don't know is it normal after update or clean install. I'll wait few days.
[Xperia Z5 General] ricodredd:
Yes you can, tap on "Android OS" and Keep awake is the second one down. The presentation has just changed but I think all the same info is present. I'd still prefer the time graph we had previously though - a superior solution.

There was some upgrade in the camera?
[Xperia Z5 General] mugglearchitect:
I have read that it's better to use the pc in installing the mm update... I have several questions:

1. I plan to use the Xperia Companion, since I'm worried that I will mess up if I did the update manually using flashtool. I just bought the device yesterday. If I use that, will I get the latest update? (.224 iirc) I'm still in lollipop right now. The phone notifies me that I can update OTA going to .163

2. Should I do a clean install? I downloaded some apps already. Or since it's new, it will not make much of a difference?

Thanks!
[Xperia Z5 General] RyTekk:
This's official changelog.

Thanks to [MENTION=4699816]jimRnor[/MENTION]
[Xperia Z5 General] iain26:
i've not updated yet so dont know if it will work but pull down the top of the screen and hold the settings icon, it will spin for a bit then should give you a new option in the settings where you can choose what icons are shown or hidden
[Xperia Z5 General] taitakacha:
This ROM is which country?
[Xperia Z5 General] Lambo_car16:
No Xperia Companion normally takes a bit longer depending on which country you live in and there is not much point in doing a clean install everytime there is an update unless you want a fresh device
[Xperia Z5 General] FYLin21:
Is the shutter lag improved a lot? Some people say it is faster but how fast?
[Xperia Z5 General] mugglearchitect:

I don't have it yet but I don't think so - that just proves it is indeed a rebranded stock battery saver because it does the same thing in 6.0

[Xperia Z5 General] c0des:
Why cache wipe? I flashed .244 without wiping anything and it seems to be working fine.

Also I don't get why Sony replaced a perfectly functional battery graph with one that is this terrible? Seriously who was responsible for making that decision / wasting their time on coding this ugly, impractical, and next to useless graph??

Well STAMINA mode is quite useful, I got 5 hours on screen by just activating if from 50% of battery.. Now I am testing how hours I will get with always on option of STAMINA.. the only bad thing k found in it is that it disables all the animations in the ui.. This make my phone look like a rock :'3 hope they add more customization in STAMINA mode..

- If any one have the official group of beta testing please share the link here .. I would like to send them my feedback and suggestions.. I know my device isn't supported it this but who cares?
[Xperia Z5 General] thetitanium:
Can anybody give me the link firmware files of the 224 build for E6683? Also, do i need to patch it?
[Xperia Z5 General] mugglearchitect:
I'm a bit anxious in flashing it myself... I also have the HK version and I plan to wait for OTA, do you think it will be for too long?
[Xperia Z5 General] FYLin21:
Apparently Sony are not allowed to modify it because of Google's guidelines for Marshmallow, which means all manufacturers must stick with the same standard battery saver and extreme/ultra saver. (likewise HTC 10 no longer has the customizability in power saver like previous HTC phones) This is also why it still shows the notifications just like the stock battery saver which you can't remove.

Is Stamina on 6.0.1 better than Battery Saver on 6.0? Even if there is a difference compared to the initial battery saver in 6.0 it may just be some software optimizations within.

It's ridiculous because I don't like using the phone without vibration feedback for the buttons but I still want to save battery.

Hi is Australian users got 6.0.1 update via OTA yet? Thanks :)
[Xperia Z5 General] barret95:
Well that sucks. It's in the way of my lock-screen wallpaper and it just irritates me haahha :laugh: Sony gotta think of something to get around this issue with the guidelines. I'm sure it's not just me that doesn't like the fact that the notification can't be removed...

Well, I've been using Stamina on 6.0.1 for 6 days now, managed to get almost 15 hours with it (screen time almost 3.2 hours) . Switched it off for the past 2 days and there is a little difference. It would be great to have the old options from the old Stamina Mode.

Can you please just ignore the posts that don't necessarily feed your needs for information? Locking a sub-forum down shouldn't be an option, as people would open new and new sub-forums with a similar topic, which would turn into a more confusing/annoying trail...

I completely agree that fake news shouldn't be posted here, but for that to be banned we could use moderation and blocking of those posters. I have no clue if anyone is a moderator in this forum though. My 2 cents, I hope you don't mind... :)

PS: as for the off-topic discussions/posts, as long as they address Z5 issues, bugs, features, I am happy to read them all so I can learn more about my device (e.g. just one week after I bought my Z5 I read here about the left hand blur camera issue, which imediately put me to test my device, which, God Bless, doesn't have that bug).

If I'm not wrong, Sony has already begun releasing the OTA for marshmallow, starting in Turkey. Not sure when it will come to Singapore/international versions though
[Xperia Z5 General] KingKonga:
No, it hasn't started. It's all based on a fake "news" from a Turkish Xperia Fanpage on Facebook. ;)
[Xperia Z5 General] decomposed:
where is this update???

Really, I do not understand what takes them so long especially considering their launcher is getting more and more stock so they do not have much to do!

Moreover, going so drastically into stock is a bad move for me and keeps me off Sony, I liked their UI design in the past, now it will be pure Nexus soon... even messaging app is going to be stock... Hopefully it will not be lagging when scrolling. But I liked the messaging app :(

Really, they are doing it wrong, do not like this simple, stock feeling in 5.1 right now, and it seems it will be even worse :(

But I am waiting for new features of M.

[Xperia Z5 General] halloga:
According to a trusted Turkish website, OTA will start in a few days in Turkey.

Some say that it has started but it is a translation error.

The website might be "trusted" (so is gsmarena), but they still quote the same Facebook source which was a fake news!

I have many Turkish friends, but I think I heard enough about Turkey and Marshmallow :)

Oh, I didn't see the part saying that source is a facebook page. My bad, sorry :o

[Xperia Z5 General] FYLin21:
Just got 6.0.1 on my Taiwan Z5 - it appears Sony Taiwan now puts out OTAs and PC updates simultaneously (they did the same with the previous update).

Camera app seems to launch a bit faster, but there is still shutter lag. Another thing that's really annoying is that there is now a persistent "headset is plugged in" notification when you plug in headphones, and it can't be disabled it seems. It is associated with "Phone Call Management" and is distinct from the "Smart Connect" headphone notification which can be disabled. I don't mind if the phone just shows a headphone icon when it is plugged in as HTC and Samsung phones also do this, but on the Z5 it also takes up as a notification.
[Xperia Z5 General] Wess.a:
Would you please test it and tell us about the battery life and the heat emission?
[Xperia Z5 General] FYLin21:
I'll see in the coming days but so far the heat emission is fine, though today is a bit cooler and rainy. I tested 3 minutes of 4K video and the phone didn't get too hot, I checked the temperature just a few minutes after it was 36.5, which is pretty good in my book (under my typical usage which consists of Facebook, messaging and browsing it sometimes gets to 37, and 42-45 if gaming heavily).
[Xperia Z5 General] Allek84:
V185 is best version for now.I wrote yet,whom is camera imporatant to didnt update,cause pictures and video too are worse.

The batterylife is pretty the same and other things too.

I don't get any worse results when upgrade from 185 to 224, I just see better things, IDK why you guys alway scream up either Sony release the update or not. For the best stability, I alway do a clean/fresh installation for twice times at least, or if you think that is funny or complicate, then simply move away from Android, just do thinking about devs who flash, reboot their devices for hundred times a day to give you a final firmware.
