NC750 Noise Cancelling

I have updated to 6.0 and i'm using nc750 earphone. Every time i switch a song it generates a little noise. Is anyone else experiencing this?
[Xperia Z5 General] TimAhKin:
That was is but it's not really a fix. I got used to set up double tap to turn the screen off. It's not the end of the world, but still. :)
[Xperia Z5 General] 4Strings:
So just to verify, flashing a firmware from Xperifirm using flashtool doesn't require an unlocked bootloader and won't break any of Sony's DRM-dependent features (X-reality, etc.), right?

Also, is there a way to figure out what region/version is currently on the phone? I bought mine (unlocked international) online, so it would be to know what version I'm upgrading from.

Cheers,

Correct, doesn't require unlocked bootloader and will not corrupt drm keys. Find current customization in the service menu by dialing *#*#7378423#*#*
[Xperia Z5 General] 4Strings:
Sweet! Thanks!

Apparently I have the Singapore version... But I can flash whatever version I want (thinking Nordic or Swiss, or whichever has the least bloatware) and it won't wipe anything, right?

[Xperia Z5 General] ChristianLetti:
The Russian (RU) version is known as very low bloatware.
[Xperia Z5 General] 4Strings:
Well the download size of Customized RU is smaller in XperiFirm, so that bodes well.

Downloading now...

Another entitled person.

Sony doing it as quick as they can is not good enough?! You realise that doing it as quickly as they can..... Is literally as quickly as they can! Therefore, you simply cannot have it any quicker. So deal with it.

You bought the phone, this does not in any way entitle you to demand no adverts. At all. It doesn't work like that. By buying it and signing in to the phone and having an Xperia account, you gave Sony your permission to do it. If you don't like it, get a different phone. Also, they have handled it very well frankly. Ooooh an unobtrusive ad within another app.... Shocking!
[Xperia Z5 General] 4Strings:
Exactly!

If you don't want ads in the Sony apps, don't use the Sony apps.

If you want a Stock Android experience, unlock your bootloader and install a custom ROM or buy a Nexus.

If you want the fastest possible updates, get a Nexus and install Android N.

Simple.

And anyway, FTF's are not custom firmware, nor are they "unofficial" in any way. All you're doing is manually downloading and flashing an update that was released by Sony for a different region than your phone. So if you're too impatient to wait and know what you're doing you can get the update a few days earlier, or you can wait for an OTA.

Cheers,

What does clean flash means? And how can i do it? And am updating using pc companion, is it possible to clean flash MM?
[Xperia Z5 General] zippy01:
Use flashtool and wipe all data or repair with pc companion
[Xperia Z5 General] addicted1900:
Install the update With PC companion, Backup your data and then do a repair trough pc companion or a factory reset directly over The settings on your device

[Xperia Z5 General] daveyp187:
I made a backup first on phone to memory card and to Google. Then downloaded the update from within flash tool. Then flashed, after I factory reset phone and then I restored from memory card and Google. All working well here. With regards to a clean flash they mean factory reset first then flash. BTW I wasn't rooted
[Xperia Z5 General] gm007:
I might update with pcc and factory reset after updating, no need to go with flashtool.

[Xperia Z5 General] yuan_1202:
Oh yes but it kinda does. I paid for the service i expect it meets my requirement. If it does not i WILL buy another phone next time (dont need you to remind me but thanks) And sony will be losing one customer and more.

Thst is reality fanboy. U should deal with it.
[Xperia Z5 General] zippy01:
You don't pay for updates you pay for the phone as it is with the features it has. You buy food from the supermarket if you want it cooked you pay extra for takeaway
[Xperia Z5 General] yuan_1202:
Hahahahahaha u see where the problem is?

All the phone companys dream to suck customer dry and make great bucks like apple does. But what they don't see is apple didn't do that by providing "takeaway" like services. It does that by ensuring premium user experience, both hardware and software wise.

Seriously. "you pay extra for take away"??

Thank god u r not running sony. Otherwise id have to pay sony every time i make a bloody phone call.

Terrible mentality. You would at the minimum expect 2 years of software support given that is the average life of the phone contract.

With your mentality no phones would ever get upgrades....
[Xperia Z5 General] RoberM:
I would consider that antivirus as bloatware, as it is not even working if you don't pay, and comes preinstalled even if you don't want it, it only bothers you with notifications and ads. Some other roms include social networks like Linked-in, Vine, Facebook, twitter etc... Amazon app, Gameloft game center, OfficeSuite Trial full of ads and notifications, or all at a time... and whatever you can imagine. They don't impact at all in Antutu scores, but why have something that bothers you?

Now a days all this apps can be uninstalled, or frozen, i think, but people still has the old bloatware days stamped in their minds when bloatware was not uninstallable.
[Xperia Z5 General] ciprianmp:

Vodafone UK just got the update
[Xperia Z5 General] zippy01:
But why would you expect 2 years of software upgrades I know it's disappointing not to receive an update but it should still not be expected.

I'm in no way affiliated with sony and not insulting anyone in fact all this is not actually relevant to marshmallow. Just expectations I believe moderator activity is lacking.

All these "expectations" is far fetched and the original conversation came from not wanting to upgrade manually. If you don't want to upgrade manually then wait end of story
[Xperia Z5 General] thesebastian:
Yeah....thanks to those people with "lower demand" Sony has been pleased to launch a phone with broken auto brightness and take several months to launch an update to MM.

I totally don't blame them for be like this.

The main problem is when some of them attack the people with higher demands.

Just ignore them and keep going. Most of the negative reviews on this topic are for good in a future.

[Xperia Z5 General] zippy01:
No one is attacking anyone and Sony had released fixed software so where is the point
[Xperia Z5 General] RoberM:
Double tap to wake is a feature that has not worked 100% accurate since it was released with the Z2, the phone unlocks itself in the pocket, etc... Thatis why it comes deactivated by default. Finget taps pass through cloth so, this things might be unavoidable. I find it useful in my Xperia Z2 Tablet, but not in the phones.
[Xperia Z5 General] yannik~:
I have gotten used to it on my LG G2 and G4 where it worked completely flawless. Never did I have issues like I am having with the Sony Z5 I now own.
[Xperia Z5 General] millicent:
Set the unlock screen to swipe, that should help.
[Xperia Z5 General] yannik~:
I think that's not possible with encryption enabled.
[Xperia Z5 General] ciprianmp:
It was not for/about you. Someone keep calling us "entitled". In an insulting way. Just because he's a native speaker, he might just not realise his wording is offensive.

And yes, I fill entitled to have on my device everything that Android development has to offer. That is why I bought an android phone, otherwise I would have bought an iPhone. Which I did buy 3 for my daughters and wife, as they don't need any goodies android brings to the table.

I hope this clarifies a bit.

PS: I Do think we are still on the right topic, as it relates to Mm upgrade "expectations", "deceptions" and "accomplishments". Which we all owners are "entitled" to express/share here. So no moderation needed, except if it gets offending.

I expect my phone to be updated for as long as my contract is for. Why would I not on a flagship? I happy to wait a while, but saying updates aren't expected is rubbish. Phones aren't just phones anymore and security that is out of date within 3 months is worthless.

If I had to I would just install stock android(do you lose anything on the Z5?), but not everyone is able to do this.
[Xperia Z5 General] zippy01:
Seriously why is this carrying on? You pay your contract to your service provider not to Sony they probably gave you your phone so you would use their network for a period of time it's nothing to do with updates that's up to Sony. Still updates shouldn't be expected. Don't get me wrong I also have a carrier provided phone and I'm on a contract but doesn't mean anyone is any different here. I also enjoy receiving updates and can't wait for the next one to come out but 2 year contract 18 month support from Sony why would you expect updates for the life of your contract? Sony specify they will provide software updates in a phased rollout for up to 18 months. XZ was lucky as we had updates after about 28 months. The reason for this discussion has already been said if you want updates sooner then flash a ftf if you don't want to flash a ftf then wait for Sony's phased rollout. Simples..
[Xperia Z5 General] ScarletDragon:
I actually don't care I had to wait as the update did come. The idea that we aren't entitled to updates is wrong. Maybe it's something that doesn't cross boarders but here we expect it. Same with two years worth of hardware cover. A two year contract should offer the phone safe and secure for two years.

That's actually the law where I live. Software has never specially been covered beyond security updates however hardware has been.
[Xperia Z5 General] ciprianmp:
Deleted
[Xperia Z5 General] zippy01:
Assuming you live in the UK from a previous post which is where I'm from nothing states that it's law. Sony have terms and conditions that state they will support a device for 18 months. Statuary rights protect electronic hardware for 12 months anything after your insurance would cover. As for software Sony say nothing about promising updates. They say they will support devices. Google is almost "forcing" (which is good for consumers) timely updates from manufacturers but nothing states that everyone will get updates.
[Xperia Z5 General] ScarletDragon:
The two years is EU consumer law on Guarantees and returns. That covers hardware. As for the updates (security based only) I'd need to look up what ruling covers it. It's something based computer protection and cyber security.

Like I said I wasn't saying that it's a problem waiting, but to say you shouldn't expect any updates is just wrong.

Except a two year contract cannot guarantee updates during the contract period. What if you get the phone on contract 1 year after release..... Or two years.... Why should a manufacturer still be doing updates to devices that could be 3 or 4 years old by that point? Imagine how many devices companies would be struggling to update if that was the way it worked.

From running MM for a few days I have got to say I'm impressed. Doze does it's job really well (possibly better than stamina mode), phone is fast and fluid, not experiencing any problems whatsoever.

It's the dawn of the second day (on this battery cycle anyhow) and I have 40% remaining with approx 17 hours remaining. SOT is currently at 1h 32m, which is good considering I have been playing a bit of music while the screen is off. It looks like the Z5 can finally reach the 2 day battery life Sony advertised.

2 days ago it came oficially to Poland - unbranded unlock version bought directly from Sony :)

Overall happy but there are some weird things:

1. Why the hell there is no app RAM usage when you go to Apps within settings??? Now for some unknown reasons it is under hidden developer settings only :/

In apps there are only ALL apps installed displayed, nothing else...

2. Anyone knows how to move apps to SD card like it was possible on lollipop???

3. Messaging app still stutters a little bit if you are scrolling long threads, or view of threads. It is much better than it was, but still stuttering is there.

Also, there is new weather widget but sadly it is not showing "Real feel" on a widget no matter this option is enabled, it is visible only in full app :(

MM is fast, my battery last longer and camera seems to do its job a little bit better / faster, but not sure if it is just a fresh installation intention.

Would like to get more nice wallpapers as along with Z5 we get really a few only :(
