Tried a factory reset but the behaviour didn't change. Using Google Now while not connected to my car -> no problems at all. When connected to my car and I push the microphone button on the headunit, I have to wait about 15-20 seconds before my voice commands will be recorded and again about 1 minute until I get a timeout. Finding places and calculating routes in Maps takes incredibly long as well. I can't tell if this is MMs fault or maybe the last Google Now update that changed the fluent interaction.

When I updated to MM without wiping everything, my flashlight icon from the quick settings menu disappeared completed. I'm running Customized Nordic. After a wipe and clean install, the icon came back and is working perfectly. Have those on the Finnish forum tried that?

Did you do a clean or dirty upgrade? After a clean upgrade those things work fine on my Acura.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] pilauda:
I have icon, i puted new customised ch, with wiping everything, dont know what else can i do
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] eivissa:
Yes, full wipe with flashtool before installing the android 6 firmware. No backups, setup everything from scratch.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] tudork:
I used to have a lot of stuttering on Lollipop. After I changed the sound settings like this:

DSEE HX off, ClearAudio+ on, Soundeffect grayed out, Dynamic normalizer off, the stuttering situation was greatly improved. It almost never happens now on my bt soundbar. But I still don't have MM, so not sure it applies.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] I.T. Backstage:
Nevermind...it turns out that I didn't get an info about my expired data plan from my provider :rolleyes:

That doesn't explain why it works as assumed while not connected, but it's okay for me. Tried with wi-fi connection and hooray no more lags...happy upgrading ;)

I updated to Marshmallow via OTA a couple of days ago. However, the auto brightness bug is still there :(

Can anyone else on MM check if the problem is gone or still there?

Would a factory reset fix this? Anyhow, note that I did an official OTA update and I don't want to setup everything from scratch. Therefore I would prefer a more convenient solution to this problem.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] pilauda:
For me there is no bug but i did a full wipe.

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] xcrln:
Updated to MM and my batterylife has been cut by more than half. I used to get about 40hours of normal use, and now I'm lucky to get 15.

Anyone else have this problem? Were you able to rectify?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Procrustinator:
I had the same issues. I did a factory reset and it corrected the problem.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] doclloyd:
Did you reinstall all the same apps after a full wipe? Do any app backup and restore as well?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] dd23:
If you enable adaptive brightness, then sometimes the display is way to bright and the color looks very pale and crappy.

There's a thread on the sony forum with some further links inside. This also seems to affect the Z3. Sony said that they found the bug and will fix it with Marshmallow.

Are you on Marshmallow? Did you wipe / factory reset? How did you update?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] thesebastian:
I still had this issue in MM but now it rarely happens.

I used to know how to reproduce this issue in LL (I submitted a report in Sony forums and they patched this for MM). But now in MM, I don't know how to reproduce the issue. It just happens rarely so it's not as terrible as it was. (I use Tapatalk dark theme so I'm able to easily notice when this occurs)

I didn't do a factory reset so maybe we need to do one to completely fix the issue.

Sometimes colors get like "washed" with Android auto brightness enabled. Its a common bug in Sony firmware. and used to happen a lot in LL. They fixed 95% of the occurrences in MM.

I've never tried the auto brightness I keep mine at max brightness at all times.I was under the impression the brightness issue was the display pulsing dim and bright( it's doing it now as I type this)
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] darktheory:
Same auto brightness issue present in MM. Just seems to occur less often. I had to turn AB off, it looks horrible when it happens imo
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] pilauda:
After 6 days of usage without restarting and clearing cashe the phone started to slow down, slowly opening apps, switching between apps on multitask not working good, it starts the app from zero, no more memory for apps to cash. But after 6 days and restart working perfect again.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] mtbfraser:
I initially dirty flashed but I was having battery and Bluetooth issues, these seem to have been sorted by a full wipe although I still rarely get the under saturated bug as on LP
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] raytheblacksmith:
This is going on with me as well. Like the sensor can't decide how bright the room is. But the original washed-out colours effect only happens when I am outside in the sun, it shouldn't get THAT bright.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Procrustinator:
I did a backup using PC Companion, and then restored everything after.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] civicsr2cool:
It shouldn't be changing at all if auto brightness is off and I'm at max, that's the irritating part. I can't say I've ever seen the washouy stuff though
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] raytheblacksmith:
Ah, forgot to mention I have auto-brightness. I wonder why it's so hard for Sony to get it right.

Last night I put my phone next to me and when I picked it up half an hour later it lost 30% of the battery and was hot. I restarted which "fixed" it but it was rather... surprising.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] thesebastian:
After many days without restarting the phone. The performance is decreased.

This happen since LL (in early LL was much more terrible than in MM). It seems that Google still needs to fix a lot of memory leaks

Unfortunately I noticed that as well. After a week or so without restarts phone starts to lag and sometimes won't open certain apps at all. :(

Besides the Sony and Google apps, what else comes installed with MM?

i.e. Do you still get AVG, Amazon and the other bloatware? Can they still be uninstalled, or only disabled?

Aw man...I wish I didn´t upgrade to MM.

On LL I had basically no complaints at all. But now on MM my battery got noticeably worse and I´m having some (minor?) other issues too. :(

A factory reset didn´t help either. Damn that urge to always have the newest. lol
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Enrico2828:
Depends on localization of your Rom. I had AVG and Amazon. They can be uninstalled.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] raytheblacksmith:
That's very unusual among us MM adopters I think! My battery life improved considerably. I have minor issues but a restart fixes them.

Also: customized NL software is out! Whoop! It's Lollipop! WTF!
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] tudork:
Yeah, in NL and Belgium we got an update that rolled out to everyone else in freaking December! I am not sure why we are so screwed. If it takes 3 months to get the MM, I will seriously buy a S7, even if I will do it grinding my teeth.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] supercakefish:
I wonder if the occasional reduced contrast with auto brightness is an intended feature to improve visibility in bright environments such as direct sunlight?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] scottjb:
I have seen quite a few Z5C users talking about getting an S7. I got one and I'm back on the Z5C. If you like small phones (you must if you have a Z5C) you might be disappointed in the S7. I used it for a week and a half.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] eivissa:
Feedback

In conclusion. The S7's pictures look a lot better. Low light comparisons make the Z5C look very bad! Speedwise the S7 feels only a little faster. Overall the S7 feels huge in my hands, were the Z5C just feels edgy.

Ive returned the S7 and kept the Z5C as it was the nicer phone to live with day to day. That conclusion would have been very different without the MM update on the Z5!

As generally I prefer HTC/Sense over Sony and Samsung I am now all excited about the HTC 10. Will keep you posted if that phone made me sell the Z5C to my neighbour.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Tom1310:
Hey guys,

Just a little a question about an issue I have : I can't activate the feature Google On Tap, I can't even switch the button (look at the picture). Any idea what cause this ? Usually the phone is in french, but it should work in french now ...

And can you tell me why you didn't keep the s7? Like my contract is bout to end in couple of months and was thinking of switching to the s7 but i do hate the fact that its all mode from glass like the z5c , which i kind hate and want a full metal body phone really.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] supercakefish:
I did the opposite of him. I kept my S7 and sold my Z5C. I can see why he kept the Z5C though. It feels noticeably smaller in the hand. The S7 feels large by comparison.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] Zurginator:
Seems MM has introduced a bunch of new notifications which cannot be disabled?

What's New, Headphone 'optimization', etc. Is there any way to force these things to shut up?
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] scottjb:
The main reason is the size. I always feel like I'm going to drop the S7 too. It's the most slippery phone I ever had. And while the battery life is OK, it's no match for the Z5C.

I still have the S7, I'm just not using it. Not sure what I'll do with it yet.

When it pops up, hold the notification. It takes you to a screen where you can disable it.

I notice that... I think it's a memory leak... Z5C Marshmallow reloads apps much, much more often than Z3C with Lollipop. When I switch back to Kindle after having used something else it pretty much always starts from scratch. This never happened with Z3C which also has 2 GB RAM. Irritating.

I wish I could put Marshmallow Concept on this, it was uber-cool on Z3C.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] thesebastian:
You have to consider that the Z5C has 64 bit version of Android and use much more RAM because of this.

Same thing happens between N5 and N5X. Both are 1080p and have 2GB of RAM. But the old one has x86 Android and always more than 1GB of free RAM.

Oh damn, I didn't realise that. Suddenly I wish I bought the bigger cousin with 3 GB RAM. I might end up switching to Gina X Performance when it's out.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] thesebastian:
Well the good thing is that Google has the 5X with more resolution and same RAM as the Z5C. They'll probably focus in RAM management (again, like they did with KK) for Android N final release.

We have a hardware advantage with the SoC but mainly with the HD (not FHD) resolution. But at the same time a disadvantage with Sony apps in memory.

I upgraded from 5 to 6. So far no problems. My storage still shows 2 locations; phone and sd card. Shouldn't this be merged?

the stock calculator shows a 'DEG' in the top left corner which kind off irritates me. I didn't see that in the previous version.

Is there any benefit if I do a factory reset?

EDIT FOUND THE ANSWER: The culprit is Lux. I have to temporarily switch it off and then permission is given or something, but it works. I will leave it here in case someone is just as silly as I am and needs help.

Please HELP! I just bit the bullet and flashed Marshmallow, I couldn't wait anymore. I am having problems with the Screen overlay permission thing. It's happened twice: setting up the Camera, and trying to restore settings on the Nova launcher. They tell me that "screen overlay detected" and I need to change permission on Settings - Apps and then takes me to that settings page. The problem is that Camera and Nova do not appear in that list so I cannot change the permissions! I gave up on Nova, but I need to enable location tagging in my Camera app! I rebooted and still nothing changed. Can anyone help, please?

today i update to 6.0 (last: build185)

results"

benchmark 90K instead of 60K

when the phone hot 5.1.1 and 6.0 about 50K score

so the phone faster (when cold)

1.stamina mode dosnt work, but battery life not bad as i thought if i switch to only 3G without wifi and date 3-4%\1hr almost like ultra \stamina

anyone didn't notice but i did, and checked the ringtone vol 6.0 and is louder at 10-20% from 5.1.1

is kind of nice fix ( no sound distortion)

the media not difference

sadly loud speaker for call is still one speaker and weak i guess they did it to save battery life.. some need to tell them is idiotic

Hello everyone! I recently purchased a z5c a couple of days ago. Everything was working fine until I got the software update (Android Marshmallow 6.0) via OTA. One main problem is that there is a noticeable thin vertical line on my screen when the screen is turned on. I tried to factory reset the phone but the line is still visible. There are also issues with my keyboard going AWOL but it's tolerable. Any ideas on how to fix this problem? Thanks in advance!

Sony's Sales Prevention Team is working real hard. The Beta program for Z3 and Z2 models constantly gets updates ("Build number 23.5.A.1.203 will have 400 fixes and improvements according to Sony.") while we are either stuck on 6.0 with 1 February security updates, or in case of Dutch users still on 5.1.1. Doesn't exactly make me want to get the X phone, especially as X Performance is not available here at all. (I still wouldn't buy it as the price is crazy.)

Yap. After this Z5c fiasco I won't even consider buying Sony phone any more. Never.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] 4ty-phive:
I would counter that argument with the point that the 'pre'-z5 series of phones are much non-supported hardware at this point (in Sony's eyes, at least). So, it kinda makes sense that they get beta software. Sony developers are acting as xda-like community developers. They are using as a test bed to release official software on the z5 series of hardware until it will becomes non-supported as well. The 'pre'-z5 users can't really complain about the buggy software because it's beta, unlike us. Also, I believe the number of us that want the bleeding edge is a small percentage to the whole. It may be a little slow, but this is expected with all Android manufacturers... Samsung is no different. Go to their XDA forum and you will see the same thing. We all know that if you want the latest and greatest, you buy Nexus. This is not the last update we'll be getting from Sony. If you bought your device from Sony (instead of a carrier), consider yourself fortunate to get your update a little faster than the ones locked to a carrier. 2¢

[Xperia Z5 Compact General] dritwick93:
Can someone please update the situation on xperia z5 compact performance issue? I have to reboot my device every 2-3 days for it to perform better. I think the issue is with the ram management of the device, only after I reboot the device cached ram gets free otherwise at the end of second day I am only able to run one app with all the other gone out of memory. This is truly pathetic. From what I heard about xperia z3 compact, it had no such problem. Hope this update fixes everything.

I really hope sony fixes the ram management issue, that's the only thing which has been bugging me, everything else works absolutely fantastic! With the return of stamina mode I can't ask for more.

It seems after doing a fair bit of research that, sony is using the zram aggressively. Which basically means that they are caching more and more app in the background without releasing it even after the app is closed. With continued use for two days or so cached app data takes all the ram. It's not a major issue, it could be fixed with a simple fix though. I am really hoping this update will fix the bug.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] s1dest3pnate:
I also want to know the same.
[Xperia Z5 Compact General] raytheblacksmith:
First impression of 6.0.1 is not good. The phone became more aggressive at unloading apps (I know someone above just said the opposite is the problem for them) so the Spotify, Calendar, Keep widgets survive about five minutes before being unloaded. So previously I never had free RAM, and now I have 300-400MB free and lose my widgets.
