For the camera I need:

1. Better, redesigned UI

2. option to keep constantly ability to adjust brightness and color in SAuto on UI (as it was on previous camera) and not only with a need to go to option to populate it + these options should be also available in manual mode too

3. Improved camera quality for pictures, especially in low light, seems same old algorithms are used

4. Functional manual mode also in higher resolution mode, where is ISO? Where is shutter speed? Scenery?

5. Improved stabilization for 4K videos, where is intelligent one???

6. Camera opening speed ,picture saving and album opening speeds

7. Creative effect, Timeshift Burst + many other modes - why 2MPx only ??? Why creative effect has such a lag???It stutters too much...

8. RAW support

9. Improved front facing camera as it is too dark

10. Improved HDR as current effect is rather debatable

Enough?

Can someone please confirm if messaging app has been exchanged with Android stock app too?

No matter if it is stock Android or still Sony, how about a lag when scrolling heavy threads, when you have really a lot of long conversations with many people? Is the animation still stuttering as it was so far?

Whatever man, instead of just complaining constantly.

Try Battery Saver, and battery optimisation modes and report back if it works like stamina used to. No point re-inventing the wheel if Sony feel these work just as well.

Camera launching from screen lock to take picture now 1-2 seconds (like Z3)

Not surprised no 6.0.1 but we do have the latest security update which was a surprise.

No new features - My password app now has fingerprint unlock, so does my phone banking, and payments

"Literally worst update since Z series ever" And you are so wrong, the phone operates much better like it should have done from the beginning, quite a few of the bugs we had previously are not there anymore, fingerprint sensor works better...
[Xperia Z5 General] ScarletDragon:

Ok thank you, but the doode was interested in which updates I would like to see in the camera.

And if some day new Z will come I hope there will be optical zoom too, eve smaller than digital (16x?)

it could be even 3x but prefer optical as it is better. Quality over quantity.

My small apps are showing over my touch buttons on the screen. It's only affecting the ability to use small apps, but it did make me think it was installed wrong (as small apps aren't in the concept), and is now just irritating.

Huh thats weird lol

Well that may not happen, i saw on the preview by [MENTION=2492212]Jozinek[/MENTION] that when open small app launcher to switch some task or scroll down, the small app bar goes down (just check the preview of 6.0)

Yeah I thought that. Not sure what's going on. Maybe it has something to do with the smart case. Maybe even my anti-virus (kaspersky).

[Xperia Z5 General] Tommy-Geenexus:
Yep, totally. Just one fact you missed: MM is tailored for big.LITTLE processors. Everything is going to change, from dual-cluster optimisations to a fundamentally different power management.

You theoretically shouldn't even judge a multi-cluster system pre MM.

Is this a developer forum or a forum for guys crying about "omfg you suck nuts, why you no update suckaz"?

Of course the M8 received the update first. It's an running system requiring minor changes to fit MM. Do you think HTC bothers about spending more time than necessary to get things going or wants to bring an 2 year old phone to shine so that customers will skip the M10 too?

Plus, HTC has 2 devices scheduled to get MM, Sony 5 times more (which admittedly is partially their fault).
[Xperia Z5 General] ianrobbie:
I thought it was just me! My phone won't automatically connect to my car like my old Z2 used to do. I thought it was a consequence of unlocking the bootloader.

Ah well, here's hoping Marshmallow fixes it.
[Xperia Z5 General] langeveld024:
Welcome and join the club ;)

Just make sure to check if ur unit doesn't have left hand blur and ur good to go!

About dev support, this device is still quite new and there's atm no way to root it without unlocking bootloader so I think most people wait to see if locked bootloader root will become available, and if it won't, I think it's a matter of time for devs to become active.

For now I'm playing with my good old Z too (C6603) and started to create a theme using the sony theme creator which is quite fun!

Yeah me too, it is a know issue and u can report it here: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperi...Bluetooth-turns-it-self-off/m-p/1088315#M8910

Also, you might want to turn on Bluetooth Snooping log in developer settings, as for me that seems to fix this issue. Only temporarily though (I hope) as we shouldn't have to turn on some dev setting for BT to behave normal. Oh well..

[Xperia Z5 General] langeveld024:
Well it's a bit OT in this thread and a bit of a pain to explain in short, but if you type in Google "Z5 left hand blur" you'll find plenty examples of faulty units so you can compare and test it for yourself. Mine had blur too, I got it replaced and now it's okay :)
[Xperia Z5 General] TheEndHK:
http://www.justaboutphones.com/update-list-android-marshmallow-6-0-all-devices/

HTC got as many phones to update MM just like Sony, the list also missed Desire eye.

Just my 2 cents. HTC always got stable rom even better than LG & Samsung & Sony, I've owned a couple of HTC and they all good. We generally agreed that in HK too, many guys got the same experiences with HTC. It's sad that HTC always fail at price strategic & hardware specification so no guys buy it now but software side is real nice.
[Xperia Z5 General] Tommy-Geenexus:
Sony has to update at least 4-5 flagships including tablets in time, while HTC has (had) to update 2 Flagships (M9/M8 and its variants).

I'll leave the midrangers out, as there is less pressure to get MM running on them.

I don't like the bloated ugly Sense UI and the Sense UX (tried various HTC's from my friends), but thats subjective either way.

I've experienced every single Sony UI since Android 2.3, and i can tell that Sony is definitly going the right way in regards to UI/UX.
[Xperia Z5 General] yuan_1202:
Htc drops support for its mid range phone so quickly.

This is just no respect to his customer.

I had one s and that is my last htc.
[Xperia Z5 General] TheEndHK:
That's not entirely true. HTC got many flagships but you probably won't notice it as the sales of HTC is very bad these days. The M9 line got M9, M9+ and M9+ supreme camera(Sony IMX230). The Butterfly3 is also using SD810. So they have got four variants of SD810 or MTK flagships indeed.

I've also experienced every single Sony UI since Android 2.3. I've owned Arc, Arc S, XS, Z1c and Z5c. Sony UI is more pretty and slim but I won't call HTC bloated as HTC rom is always fluid and stable.

---------- Post added at 01:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 AM ----------

I'm still using One S as spare phone. If you call no support is kinda ridiculous, it's one of my lovely phone and people was very nice on xda. One S received 4.0.3, 4.0.4, 4.1.1, 4.2.2 in two years but if you own the S3 model not the more advanced S4, you're out of 4.2.2.

Like i said, M9/M8 plus the variants. As the specs of them vastly differ, they can't be accounted in my previous post. Add a third variant for MTKs, but thats it.

Fluid and stable does not exclude bloated. But as i've written, subjective.

I sound like an apple fan?! Utterly baffling comment it must be said. But yes, all the years I have mocked Apple and refused to buy their products, and all the years I have spent buying Android phones and being on XDA.... Even me typing this now on my Z5.... It is all a ruse clearly.

My 'problem' is with people whinging over things they feel entitled to, but aren't really entitled to them. If a feature isn't there, just think logically about it for five seconds..... It will be missing for a reason. That reason won't be that someone at Sony thought '**** these guys ha ha'... It will be because it couldn't be implemented in a way they wanted to make it work well enough. Common sense is all it takes but people lose all semblance of it at update times.

---------- Post added at 02:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 AM ----------

'removed' because as with Samsung, it will be impacting the system performance. As has been said many times.

No stamina.... Again, mm has doze. So Sony obviously felt that 2 battery saving modes competing woukd be negative for the actual performance. So, removed it. Perfectly sensible decision. When they figure it out, it will be back if hey can get it to work. Would you rather they had features hat didn't work or made the phone perform slower? Just so you can say 'yay new features'...?!

No new ui..... Seriously? You think Sony are going to give their brand new x series ui to a totally different phone, before the x phones are even released? Why would they do that? It would be idiotic in business terms to do so.

Your utter negativity, which can be shot down at almost every point by the way with just a smidge of thought and common sense is bizarre. You have done nothing but complain and call things rubbish even when presented with logical reasons for them.
