I'm trying to flash android 6.0 via flashtool but its stuck on max packet size set to 4096k, what am I doing wrong?
[Xperia Z5 General] ozouzi:
update for z5 premium dual is available here [UAE]
[Xperia Z5 General] dfavefenix:
Oh so some hours or minutes for our version.
[Xperia Z5 General] bubimir13:
Ok, for those who are downloading or have downloaded and installed, im interested in few things out of the first hand expirience:

1. Manual camera settings in Manual camera

2. Stock camera app any different from what we now have?

3. Openning camera app from lockscreen any shorter, or instant like we wanted it to be?

4. Picture quality any different? Especially left side blur or blue marks in areas that should be dark or black because of high ISO count in low light?

5. Smooth and fluid work?
[Xperia Z5 General] bassbox:
1-4: No.

5: What? I guess yeah
[Xperia Z5 General] almirsahbaz:
According to new Marshmallow user guide on Sony Mobile website, stamina mode and all the other battery features are removed from this build.

Can someone confirm this?
[Xperia Z5 General] sandeep121sp121:
Please anyone share latest flashtool 0.9.19.10.

Thanks in advance
[Xperia Z5 General] dfavefenix:
For Xperia Z5 is available in XperiFirm
[Xperia Z5 General] ross23:

Hopefully the fixed the auto brightness issue AND the Mobile radio active bug!!

Has anyone else noticed these issues fixed??

[Xperia Z5 General] bartolo5:
My first impressions after playing for about 1 hour:

a) Everything is much smoother now and there is no lag

b) Fingerprint sensor is working MUCH better. Actually it didn't fail a single time

c) Fingerprint sensor uses now 6.0 API so all apps programmed to the MM API will work with it! Tried Lastpass and works beautifully

d) Phone goes from using Quickcharge 2.0 to regular charging and back randomly from some reason. Didn't do this before, seems to depend on the temperature of the phone. (I have a USB doctor charger so I can see when QC 2.0 quicks in at 7.5V and 1A vs regular 5V 1A)

e) No STAMINA, but you do get 6.0 Doze, App Standby AND 6.0's battery saver available on the Nexus line.

f) Camera startup time seems much much improved

g) Seems this should have been the release where everything works when Z5 came out
[Xperia Z5 General] addicted1900:
Well atleast some good news. Hopefully they add in an upcoming Software-Update some camera related stuff when everything else is working as its intended.
[Xperia Z5 General] iToddie:
Does it have the new emojis?
[Xperia Z5 General] mmm286:
No lag opening camera at cold?

Thanks

What?, no stamina mode in MM?, WHY!?!?
[Xperia Z5 General] anasgets111:
so far the UI feels the same, except for the specific andriod 6 settings optoins like Memory, Apps and Storage.

sadly no new Camera stuff discovered, might feel a lil fast at saving pictures though.

Camera v 1.0.C.1.2 which is wired ! lol
[Xperia Z5 General] gamer649:
Android has the new Doze mode, maybe Sony are trialling this without Stamina to see how effective it is.
[Xperia Z5 General] bartolo5:
Seems much much improved.

I loaded tons of apps to make sure Camera app was out of memory. Then turned off phone. Waited for a minute and pressed the shutter button and camera came on in just 1 second ready to shoot.
[Xperia Z5 General] Fusiionn:
Sorry for abit off topic saw someone mentioned about the camera in dark areas when it can turn into blue purple red on the corners. Can I send my Xperia z5 into Sony and get it fixed because it kinda annoying when I trying to take some pictures in dark areas
[Xperia Z5 General] dfavefenix:
Yeah, that is. In my old Nexus 7 2012 wifi con Android 6.0 "wakes up" each several minutes and in standby mode is simply awesome
[Xperia Z5 General] anasgets111:
Camera: no manual goodies at 20mp! still takes 2s to open when no in recent

Fingerprint is much better and faster
[Xperia Z5 General] luluberlu64:
Does Bluetooth now support rsap ?
[Xperia Z5 General] RoberM:
I am getting 5:30 SOT on my Z5 now with Stamina Mode... let's compare how it goes with this 6.0 features. I hope it is not a step back.
[Xperia Z5 General] Falenone:
Not entirely related to the actual update but the Updater app not worthy of a separate thread.

Why the F there's some garbage Amazon Shopping Ready to install in my updater app? I don't want this garbage there nor have it installed and I can't remove it.
[Xperia Z5 General] BR4DOKYBrazil:
What region are you installing? Russian is the one with less bloatware?

[Xperia Z5 General] boyaxnxtdoor:
Can someone check if small apps can be touch/click after? its seems that its overlapping in navigation menu in my end?
[Xperia Z5 General] gamer649:
It's a phased rollout, please be patient. It will reach you in the next few days, this is the same for all devices.
[Xperia Z5 General] dlevick:
Anyone had o2 UK yet?
[Xperia Z5 General] zippy01:
Is there a rotate option in home settings?

Be careful what you wish for they will probably break something else in the process ?
[Xperia Z5 General] x2srj:
no, check XperiaFirm and you'll know when it's released for O2
[Xperia Z5 General] goRt:
Been showing as available there for over an hour and report as such here!
[Xperia Z5 General] gm007:
E6653 has uk o2 already
[Xperia Z5 General] adam20115:
For some reason I got it on O2...
[Xperia Z5 General] bobrovsky35:
My E6653 has German Telekom (1298-7713) installed.

May i be able to install another version, e.g. customized RU, or has my device to be rooted for this?
[Xperia Z5 General] gm007:
You can by using flashtool,but it seems some people are having problem updating via flashtool at the moment.

Wait till someone confirm that flashtool is working fine.
[Xperia Z5 General] goRt:
No need to be rooted, use flasher and download by xperifirm (within flasher), be careful to retain your data!
[Xperia Z5 General] mr_negative16:
Hey mate, what do you mean retain thr data? Will it wipe the whole data?
[Xperia Z5 General] goRt:
It will if you want it to (may be set as the default)
[Xperia Z5 General] bobrovsky35:
I think it's just precautionary. IF something goes wrong, you do still have your data..

Usually, flashing an update doesn't wipe data..
[Xperia Z5 General] bassmaster:
is the radio mobile active bug still there?
[Xperia Z5 General] goRt:
The default in the flashtool (the subject of the question) is to WIPE DATA
[Xperia Z5 General] bobrovsky35:
alright, thanks :)
[Xperia Z5 General] RoberM:
No, it is not.
[Xperia Z5 General] goRt:
Go away and check - I did before I posted
[Xperia Z5 General] gamer649:
Sorry to say but RoberM is right, the default option is to retain userdata. At one point the default option was to wipe user data.
[Xperia Z5 General] goRt:
OK, I'm on 0.9.18.6 and the default is to wipe.

Anyway, be careful out there
[Xperia Z5 General] Xeon:
First impression :

- UI is still the same, nothing changed

- Contacts pictures now displaying correctly with different dpi

-Very fast animation and app switching, feels much smoother than Lollipop at 320 dpi

- Cannot see discharge rate with AIDA64 anymore

- Brightness issue fixed

- Dialer has a new layout and pictures are centered

- Camera interface looks almost the same ... ?

- Fingerprint now much better and unlocking almost everytime

- No heat whatsoever and battery still doing well, actually looks a bit better but need to confirm

- Again much faster and smoother !!!!! and I have 81 apps installed

-Do not disturb option

- SD card not combined with internal memory whatsoever

- Version 6.0
[Xperia Z5 General] gamer649:
0.9.19.10 is the latest (and the version new people will be using when they install flashtool), you shouldn't really dispute it if you aren't on the most recent version.
[Xperia Z5 General] ross23:
It seems to not be present on my device with MM. Hopefully it stays that way!!

---------- Post added at 12:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 AM ----------

Does anyone recommend a hard (or factory) restart after updating to MM, or repair the software using the PC companion tool?
[Xperia Z5 General] gm007:
It's always recommend to start with a fresh os so full wipe is to go
[Xperia Z5 General] zippy01:
I second this want as bug free as you can? Start fresh always with major update
[Xperia Z5 General] addicted1900:
It's a major Update. It wouldn't be too bad to do this :D I would recommend you to start fresh. If you encounter problems afterwards you have already set-up your phone and have to start all over again.
[Xperia Z5 General] BR4DOKYBrazil:
How I do full wipe in the version 0.9.19.10? Select the four options: APPs LOG, DIAG, SSD and Userdata?
[Xperia Z5 General] TheWarKeeper:
the reason why i did not choose LG G4 over galaxy s6 was because of the underperforming 801 chipset it has,

Theres no way in heck i would pay 750€ for such an outperformed gpu, i like to play all games on max graphics with great fps, sony did the right thing to choose 810 over 801.
[Xperia Z5 General] gm007:
Music app got an update.
[Xperia Z5 General] yuan_1202:
My previous phone is oneplus one, which is 801 based. It has the same screen resolution. Of all the game I play it offered pretty much similar experience.

Z5 is a bit faster but not by that much.

You not playing crysis 3 on ur phone.

Plus all the phone games r developed so that most phone are playable. So ...

Please keep to the topic, I don't care what phones etc you have or had.
[Xperia Z5 General] ReadReadz:
Sony always late to the party. M for S6 and S6e rolling out today.
[Xperia Z5 General] Sckank:
The reports says the Sony version of it are the fastest MM they have tested (concept Z3), and impressively stable. Let them other rush it, we will have gold when we finally get it.
[Xperia Z5 General] Phazonclash:
I doubt it... the Lollipop firmware we're using on our Z5 is FAR from stellar and it has so many issues: I don't believe in miracles and I highly doubt being late to the party means a superior firmware. At this point I think it's fair to say that Sony just plain sucks when it comes to releasing updates in a reasonable delay

I'm not impressed at all
[Xperia Z5 General] Sckank:
Ok then, let's go to some sources then, read up a little bit before you judge it to h... and beyond :

http://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=65271

One of the quotes; "

The result? Probably the fastest Android phone I've used, and that includes 2015 models like the*Nexus 6P*and Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+. This software absolutely flies, putting to shame the vast majority of newer and more expensive handsets."

[Xperia Z5 General] Barthlon:
the longer the wait, the better the result... is just a hypothetical statement that people keep telling themselves to make the wait less hard :p

let's wait and see how the final mm will be. this is my first sony phone and i'm not impressed by the so called clean ui, at all. a lot of crapware. right on par with samsung anyways :p
[Xperia Z5 General] Lambo16:
4k60..?
[Xperia Z5 General] Phazonclash:
No offense, but you sound a little bit like a Sony fanboy... I've used MANY brands of phones in the past 4-5 years, and no need to repeat again that Sony fails to impress me so far in the software department. I've used better/faster/more stable firmwares in the past few years than what Sony gave us with the Z5, and being late to the party (even Samsung is faster than Sony for God sake... they released Marshmallow yesterday for the GS6! Yeah, Samsung and their heavily modified UI...) is nothing to help.

You guys love Sony, I got it... but seriously, you must learn to remain critical... I like phones that work great, I don't care about brands.
[Xperia Z5 General] koziakauzu:
What doesn't work or works badly software-wise then?

To me having a non-phablet phone that last 2 days on battery without sacrificing usage is already amazing.

Sent from my E6653
[Xperia Z5 General] Sckank:
Nope, no fanboy, this is my first Sony, I've had it for about 10 days. I've had Samsung (note 4 was the let one), but sold it after a short time. I've mostly had HTC phones.

I'm only referring to reports that have been directly comparing the Z5 to others. It's just facts, nothing about being a fanboy.
[Xperia Z5 General] dfavefenix:
In that quote and article it is talking about a Rom that its a Marshmallow concept for z3 that works wonderfull. Its a fact, not a fanboy note.

Btw the guy who said that Sony its in the same way that Samsung on bloatware, what a bad joke

Enviado desde mi E6653 mediante Tapatalk
[Xperia Z5 General] Sckank:
Couldn't agree more. There's plenty of articles now comparing the MM on Sony with others and it's stable, fast and bloat free.

I almost delivered the Z5 back 5 days ago, but now as I'm used to it, I'm glad I didn't.
[Xperia Z5 General] agentsandy007:
MM concept may have been gud or great.

But in my opinion (i think i am sure) when it gets released its going to be full of bloatware just like previous versions.

If wanted to ditch bloat they would have done already right!:confused:
[Xperia Z5 General] chronicfathead:
I've just ordered a Z5; it arrives tomorrow. I'm hoping that all the criticisms over the camera software will be sorted, and that I don't regret my purchase. My wife loved her Z1 and now her Z3 and she persuaded me to try the Z5.

The lack of dev activity did worry me, but as someone pointed out to me, I can keep my LG G2 for playing, or swap it for something else, keeping my Z5 for "best"!
[Xperia Z5 General] Ben36:
Having a nexus 5 also, i already know that apart from permission management there isn't really much difference between Lollipop and Marshmallow so you're all whinging over nothing really.

That being said, it is kinda annoying that my missus's 2 year old htc one m8 got Marshmallow earlier this week and our brand new 'flagship' is still waiting
[Xperia Z5 General] gamer649:
I believe so, yes. I haven't flashed a device for a while so I don't know what should be selected to wipe it.

Like Androplus wrote, STAMINA mode will be back,

there were conflicts in adopting it to MM, so it'll take some while.

Maybe it'll be left out anyway ? If MM turns out to work better than LP + STAMINA ?

How fast is the camera on MM ?

less shutter delay ?

[Xperia Z5 General] TheCraig:
What about MM's feature to use SD Storage as internal memory? I have a class 10 card - fairly sure its fast enough yet Sony have completely removed the ability for MM to do this.

I'm not offended, just annoyed that I was stupid enough to think Sony would ever change. Say what you will about Samsung but at least they can get software nailed down time and time again.

EDIT: Sony are about last to update its flagship line. I am going to estimate that this... mediocre update has been ready since January but was held back until the Xperia X was announced, Samsung had it out from the middle of February.
[Xperia Z5 General] goRt:
Nordic combined would do - that usually comes early ;)
[Xperia Z5 General] :
Generic RU has the update. It doesn't include any additional regional apps.
[Xperia Z5 General] a00r:
so for those of you who updated is the fingerprint security working natively, as in open for other applications and not just unlocking the phone, since MM boasted of this integration?
[Xperia Z5 General] zippy01:
Think that's been said 3 times in this thread already yes apparently it's working with lastpass

What I can report is the following:

I flashed another customization (generich LAM, old was cust. DE). Did no wipe! Everything seems to work fine, except storage. I have my phone, as well as my sdcard encrypted. So far so good. But now, my sdcard isn't readable anymore! To be more precisely: My files are still there, but aren't viewable (seems, that krypt.key has gone). This time, no problem for me, as I did a backup just yesterday...

But be warned!!!

I can confirm that auto brightness bug is gone. And responsiveness of my Z5 is amazing after the update. Fastest phone I've ever seen! On the other side, there are not many new feautres, but it's the only complaint I have about this update.

To undecided people: give this update a try, I think it's worth it. You can always go back.
[Xperia Z5 General] gm007:
I just downloaded and flashed the Russian firmware with full wipe and did factory reset directly, so far like it.

So i can confirm the flashtool is working fine to flash the update,just use the latest one,and delete fwinfo file before creating the firmware.
