http://www.ecumenicalnews.com/artic...a-z5-z4-z3-beta-testing-has-started/38012.htm

Is this true??
[Xperia Z5 General] ciprianmp:
Yes. If you read carrefully, the title is deceiving. The beta test is for the Z3/Z4 and it has been there since last September or so - it is described in a paragraph down on the page.

About the actual roll out, there is nothing new or important in this "news".

So, old story.

Xperia Z5 E6653
[Xperia Z5 General] Konvict64:
Yes but just want to know if the beta concept is extended on our Z5 and if yes, how can we install it!
[Xperia Z5 General] Lambo16:
I have to send my Z5 in for repair... I hope they send it back with Marshmallow !
[Xperia Z5 General] ciprianmp:
Ah, ok, you didn't explain that. Perhaps someone have an answer for you. Although we're getting closer and closer to the final version officially released...

And this??

[Xperia Z5 General] Konvict64:
Oh sorry for the Misunderstanding, I'm French so writing in English is a big deal for me ?. Yes, hope that Sony will release the final version of Marshmallow and extended their concept program on our phone

---------- Post added at 10:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 PM ----------

Just check on xperifirm, no new firmware on it so bull**** for now. I think we'll get it at the end of next week unfortunately. I'm talking about the beta concept already tested on z3 and the news that I found is about a beta marshmallow's firmware for z5
[Xperia Z5 General] ciprianmp:
This one is an old fake "news" we have discussed here all day long. Disregard it. :)

[Xperia Z5 General] gamer649:
Xperia Lounge has been updated, in the changelog it states that it has been optimised for Android M. Now usually this wouldn't be a big deal, however they did something similar to this last year before the release of LP where they updated Lifelog (which gave it a redesign and optimised it for Android L). I think it took about 2 weeks since that particular update for Android L to be released.

Just my 2 cents, no concrete evidence we will get MM in 2 weeks time so please don't come for my head if it doesn't happen.
[Xperia Z5 General] Nimda01:
GSMArena still keep a misleading article in their website...

Even many people in comment section said it's fake, and nobody getting update until now.
[Xperia Z5 General] DeathStroke:
This is crazy, how everyone is so desperate for MM. ??

Let's see when it comes. ?

Edit: that news was seriously fake to get page viewers or likes etc

AHoles. ?

Guys i saw this yesterday:

[Xperia Z5 General] gm007:
Fake news.
[Xperia Z5 General] jacker60:
Those "fake" news are starting to propagate to a lot of websites, according to these it's only available via OTA update in Turkey

You cannot use xperia companion or ota once unlocked,if you have TA backup, restore and do the repair.

Have you tested Bluetooth audio? I've never experienced a bug quite this awful! On the customised build that I flashed, it would skip, but not constant, this one, its like someone scratching an old record on a deck, bloody awful screeching noise
[Xperia Z5 General] Jhames:
I never had any Bluetooth audio issues (only used Sony speakers though) until I got a jvc stereo for my car a few days ago.

Whenever I used it with that I got that awful crackling/skipping every few minutes, but I got the. 185 update whilst at work today and on my 40 minute drive home I didn't have a single issue with it.

Face another 45 minute drive to my girlfriends later and then back to test it more but fingers crossed they've sorted it!
[Xperia Z5 General] rajkant1984:
Screen freeze everytime I play YouTube as well as tethering is showing problems.
[Xperia Z5 General] doministry:
FileCommander updated, OTG works like it should now.

For me 6.0 is almost perfect now.
[Xperia Z5 General] pmkhoi:
I got the Z5 (Spectre edition) from Telecom NZ. Can't find the Bond theme and still not receiving 6.0 until now. Never buy a carrier-branded phone again. Trash apps and the update time is way too late :mad:
[Xperia Z5 General] misbehave:
From my experience, always always always buy unlocked phone.

You have nothing to gain getting carrier branded phones.
[Xperia Z5 General] pmkhoi:
My phone is unlocked, it just has some carrier apps and carrier loading screen when turn on. Unfortunately NZ is a small market so Sony only sell the phones that ordered by carriers so there was only 1 version when I bought the Z5 :(
[Xperia Z5 General] Aklo01:
I've got unlocked Z5 Spectre edition from Amazon.it and never found the Bond theme too.

Not a big loss I suppose :)

Updated twice to 6.0 (163 & 185) via flashtools.

I think you can do the same, selecting a generic build like "Customized NOBA" which I use.

You can now become a tester for Xperia home!

just tried it and love the double tap to sleep function...:)

does not require root...
[Xperia Z5 General] misbehave:
I've bought mine from Amazon because no carrier here in the US sell this phone.;)
[Xperia Z5 General] ricodredd:
Have they fixed the badge number issue for WhatsApp, et al?
[Xperia Z5 General] Wess.a:
Double tap to sleep finally!! Thanks (Y)
[Xperia Z5 General] Daniel_GB:
unfortunately I don't use WhatsApp to tell whether it is fixed or not...

I use telegram and I think it doesn't support badge number!
[Xperia Z5 General] ciprianmp:
I subscribed and got the maintenance update, I restarted the phone, but I still don't see any difference (e.g. double tap to sleep). Is there anything else to do to have the new home screen version work?

Xperia Z5 E6653 w/ Tapatalk
[Xperia Z5 General] Daniel_GB:
from the screen shots, everything is fine!

go to the home screen setting and enable the Double-tap to sleep function there.
[Xperia Z5 General] ciprianmp:
Perfect, tx.

PS: why Settings/Home/Xperia Home don't carry a 3 dots for those settings, that I can't understand...

Proximity Switch / Sensor

Did you find a resolution to this? I'm experiencing the same problem and it's a real issue when you reach someone's voicemail as they don't hang up for a few minutes.

I entered the service menu using *#*#7378423#*#* and went to Service Tests > Proximity Switch. From here, the proximity switch is always set to ON - i take this to mean that it always thinks something is near-by - causing the screen to never come back on during or after a call. I really don't want to reset my phone!
[Xperia Z5 General] gm007:
Maybe the screen protector?
[Xperia Z5 General] farooknaji:
I don't use one.
[Xperia Z5 General] JMZFblack:
Did anyone receive an update today??? I'm on Customized GEL and xpericheck.com shows an update today. I got it OTA but it has the same number (.185). I don´t see any difference by now. :/
[Xperia Z5 General] ricodredd:
I just checked my Customized DE version. The Software Update app updated itself when I checked for updates.

That is all.
[Xperia Z5 General] ErikMunoz:
Yup

I got it this morning, same version.

I just noted the LTE icon change to 4G nothing else
[Xperia Z5 General] JMZFblack:
RIGHT..... it seems to be just like that. Honestly I prefer the LTE over the 4G icon LOL =)
[Xperia Z5 General] Porsche5000:
I also use the customized DE image and also got just an Update for the "Update" App.
[Xperia Z5 General] porshjosh:
Just updated mine but no difference at all still the usual LTE icon
[Xperia Z5 General] JMZFblack:
It seems that changed just for E6603 :( since yours is still the same....
[Xperia Z5 General] Mankeli:
Same here, the proximity sensor test works fine, but sometimes this happens and I've had to force boot the phone by holding the volume up and power button to be able to hang up if the other person doesn't.
[Xperia Z5 General] mates5:
Same for me, proximity reaction is too slow when i put the phone to my ear and sometimes stay black display when I calling. After last small update ended number .185 same like a previous bigger normal .185 update but this update have size little over 30MB I have also problem with the fingerprint scanner. Scanner no recognize my finger five times consecutive, its like a my finger have no in database. I must use pin and after unlock and lock again my phone finger sensor works fine...
[Xperia Z5 General] spaha-bih:
That last what you said happens to me recently.

What works for me is that i delete old fingerprint registration and set the new one.
[Xperia Z5 General] cc4xda:
mhl output no longer works

I am on 6.0 stock Rom... And I just realized the mhl output no longer works, which sucks because that was one of the reasons I wanted this phone! ...anybody else notice this or what the problem might be?
[Xperia Z5 General] mates5:
Yes, thats I try but it only work 2 days and problem again starts. I have two other problems, wifi dropping each 5-10mins and the bottom speaker is audible quiter then upper one. I dont know what I think about this phone... Maybe I have a defective unit, I bought it before one week with android 6.0. I will try 5.1.1. if problems disappear it is only SW bugs of 6.0, if not return phone to seller. But Im really disappointed about this phone...
[Xperia Z5 General] chrisftlse:
Hi there,

Yesterday I received a system update and now when I charge my XZ5 using my external powerbank which delivers 2.1 or 2.4 mA I have the following :

It is a kind of Boost Charging allowing the Quick Charge...

Anybody else is having this ?

Edit :

After this auto update, my XZ5 earjack is no more working...

When I plug any jack, the sound is still coming from phone speaker...
[Xperia Z5 General] Ben36:
Might be daft but have you tried turning off and back on for the headphone issue?
[Xperia Z5 General] cc4xda:
Yes I had that quick charge as well! I also noticed that there is an ad on the screen, which is diappointing. In fact, I went to check my voicemail and it took me to google play store featuring the app that the ad was for on this new quick charge lock screen....
[Xperia Z5 General] JMZFblack:
That´s not from the system update. That´s DU Boost Charger included in DU Battery Saver or another app from them. :)

On top or your 2nd screenshot it says "DU Quick Charge"

I know 'cause I've had it once and recently I have the same feature on Clean Master and CM Security (but deactivated)
[Xperia Z5 General] c0des:
Dude i also have a Z5 from Spark NZ and i just flashed with customized nordic firmware using flash tool. Faster updates, no stupid telecom/spark logo's or apps. Updates through Spark are always months behind.
[Xperia Z5 General] boyq:
Is stamina mode still not present in the latest MM update?
[Xperia Z5 General] ricodredd:
Nerfed by Marshmallow's Doze mode. We'll have to wait and see if Sony will integrate it in future.
[Xperia Z5 General] spaha-bih:
For me since earjack or Aux in the car never worked with Z5, not even with 5.1 lollipop nor mm fixed that.

But on my previous phone lumia 1020, everything worked fine.
[Xperia Z5 General] chrisftlse:
I have contacted Sony Repair Services and they said they will call me back within the next 48h hours... It was last wednesday :(

I will wait until this afternoon and call them back my self.

But, does anybody else encounter this issue ?

Not possible to to listen musiv using any earphone model, when I plug the jack into the XZ5... No effects, the sound is going out from the XZ5 speakers ...
[Xperia Z5 General] 9006:
I've not noticed it happening since installing 32.1.A.1.185 so I assume it was fixed.
[Xperia Z5 General] redone stoMP:
I only got my phone a week ago, it's the international version(6653). I can't figure out which file I should I use to update?

It's an exchange unit.

SI 1298-8917 REV 2 I checked Xperifirm and couldn't find it listed.

Would the customized UK work?
[Xperia Z5 General] iain26:
any 6653 firmware works fine, just pick your region and flash with flashtool
[Xperia Z5 General] millicent:
Just to report on Sony Mobile's amazing customer service. I have inquired about the z5's security update schedule both on their talkmobile forums and twitter since it looks to be a little bit behind the android security release schedule. Their twitter feed, perhaps moderated, never got my post. The forums mod moved my post to an obscure, locked thread!
[Xperia Z5 General] thesebastian:
I reported adaptive brightness issue with the washed colors 2 times with bug report and everything since the phone was released.

We're still waiting for a fix....

I will never buy Sony again.

New update Xperia Z5 Marshmallow 6.0.1 32.2.A.0.224 is rolling now...
[Xperia Z5 General] Phazonclash:
Just installed it a few minutes ago guys on my Z5 (6653)

It's 6.0.1 with Stamina mode ;) Enjoy
[Xperia Z5 General] ricodredd:
Nice. Have they managed to fix the icons on the Battery usage screen, i.e. not just grey outlines?
[Xperia Z5 General] manjeet15:
Any thing else new? can you give details? like xperia x themes or icons, apps or any new feature?
[Xperia Z5 General] Phazonclash:
I'm rooting it at the moment with rootkernel. I'll report back in a few minutes with the new stuff I've discovered.

So far so good, Stamina is back, it's 6.0.1. Settings icons seem to be different too

Edit:

Missed it on the screenshot... Security Patch Level is April 1, 2016

Edit 2:

TWRP, SuperSU working using rootkernel. And the TA partition can be restored as previously with Flashtool if you have a backup
[Xperia Z5 General] Masoud.Ser:
please add screen shot from stamina and icon settings

thanks
[Xperia Z5 General] ImAnurag:
Great :) Could you please post again about phone screenshot, showing 32.2.A.0.224 number...
[Xperia Z5 General] dodo1515:
Hi,

Nice thanks:good:

can you tell me what procedure did you follow to update plz?

my bootloader unlock and l'm using rootkernel on previous firmware.TA partition restored.

l should download and flash the new firmware?update new kernel with rootkernel??
[Xperia Z5 General] Phazonclash:
Yes:

1) Download the new firmware with Flashtool (Xperifirm) and flash it

2) Extract kernel.sin form the TFT file you just downladed and patch it with rootkernel (The command is: rootkernel kernel.sin patched_kernel.sin)

3) Put your phone in fastboot mode and flash your patched kernel (The command is: fastboot flash boot patched_kernel.sin)

4) Flash your DRM keys/partition back using Flashtool (you should have a DK.ftf file that is about ~1 KB)

5) Boot in your recovery, TWRP in our case, and flash SuperSU.zip, and Xposed is you use it

6) You're done
[Xperia Z5 General] ricodredd:
So they changed the Storage icon to be the same as the Memory icon, just with a different background colour. How odd.
[Xperia Z5 General] Phazonclash:
Two more screenshots. They changed the battery menu a lot, for the best. And they finally fixed the stupid blank grey icons in the Battery usage menu

And Stamina Mode doesn't put a small "+" next to the battery icon (upper right) anymore. Instead, it puts a small batter icon with a "+" in the upper left side, and a notification in the Notifications panel. Looks good in my opinion
[Xperia Z5 General] millicent:
I have never waited so impatiently for an update before. Hopefully the bt stuttering is fixed amongst other issues such as pocket detection with dt2w enabled, Wi-Fi connectivity, various call issues, etc
[Xperia Z5 General] Phazonclash:
Another bugfix I noticed:

The "Signal" icon (upper right) now changes color as it should, accordingly to the application status bar color.

For example: The stock Google calendar app uses a white status bar and in .185, the "Signal" icon would remain white. In that new build, it changes color and becomes grey as it should and it remains visible. :good:

And something that will make a lot of people happy: So far for me, the wifi connection doesn't seem to get killed and the phone doesn't seem to fall back on mobile data after a while when the phone falls in deep sleep and is turned back on again. That issue was aggravating cause I'm using some Tasker profiles that are based on the Wifi connection status (Connected or Disconnected to a certain wifi network)

Didn't test bluetooth audio though.

Glad to see Sony is finally taking care of these small details

Edit:

Other things I've noticed.

-If you press the power button twice, it lauches the camera app (not really useful on the Z5, it already has a dedicated camera button)

-New emojis

-They added back the "until the next alarm" option in Do Not Disturb mode. That's great

One question : could i update my E6683 which is with an Hong Kong ROM 1298-7893 32.1.A.1.185 R5C to the India ROM 1298-7547 32.2.A.0.224 R4C ?

No problem with Radio firmware or other things ?

[Xperia Z5 General] bartolo5:
They just renamed the stock 'battery saver' mode to Stamina and called it a day. Really not cool.
[Xperia Z5 General] ciprianmp:
I understood this, but let's hope they will make progress in porting it to MM, while keeping comp with Android BS. If it didn't introduce new bugs, I wouldn't complain :)

Xperia Z5 E6653 w/ Tapatalk
[Xperia Z5 General] bartolo5:
They removed Sony Stamina because Google forced them to. Sony is just not allowed to add it back. Sony Stamina is never coming back.

Why? With Google introducing Doze it's forcing all OEMs to strictly keep the Doze source code intact and does not allow fiddling with that part of Android anymore. Old stamina would require total rewrite or modifications to Doze, which Sony is no longer allowed to do.

Google understands Android battery life is the wild wild west and they are phasing in Doze through a few versions of the OS. It's sure to break lots of apps so they are letting people time to adapt. They started with Doze only when device is still on M, now Doze will kick in on device lock on N ... and they want to make sure no OEMs mess with this stuff to make sure they get it right for everyone.

what's the solution

I've tested with 0.9.22.2 but The firmware is not recognized
[Xperia Z5 General] Sh4rkill3r:
yes, solved.

updated flashtool to 0.9.22.2 (previusly used 0.9.19.8)

installed updated drivers from flashtool install folder (flashmode, fastboot, and z5 drivers in the selector). This drivers were updated in 0.9.22.0

deleted previous generated tft file with 0.9.19.8 and generate again with 0.9.22.2

Flash like previous version and done.

but i tested with 0.9.22.2

But will not display FW in flashtool

why ?

regenerate the firmware. also in 0.9.22.2 the firmware selector changed, you need to open like a tree. until you reach the firmware.

Can someone explain to me, why Sony added the feature double press power button to open the camera, when is there already dedicated button for that purpose?
[Xperia Z5 General] Sh4rkill3r:
power button is a lot less prone to misclick that the soft focus/shot button. imagine the camera activating every 2 minutes in the pocket.
