I have a 2353 unlocked from AU, I installed the Optus version last night and then set up adaptive storage. I've been setting my phone back to normal but I've been noticing Facebook (and pretty much only FB) has been lagging and freezing! It's installed onto adaptive storage. Is anyone else having this issue? I'm using Nova Launcher too, so it could be that maybe?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] vyrussu:
Working good here, also installed on adoptable storage... try reinstall facebook
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] mybuttismyotherbutt:
I'll try re-install and see what happens!
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] vyrussu:
Sorry, i have E2303... didn't pay attention that you have another version... but try reinstall and see then... good luck

Why Bro..... Why need letest flashtool to use

By flashtool 9.18.6 i can't flash it?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Deathmake:
So update or not?

Sent from E2303
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] hitman00:
its good to download latest versionor update always ,as its marshmallow. Also your flashtool 9.18.6 is pretty old.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] gowthamachandran:
Complete audio coming out of speakers after the update is like a broken audio with glitches.... I m using the Indian firmware....

Try to play some audio track you frequently listened on speaker while using Lollipop in your updated firmware....

I hope its not my hardware cuz it was working fine before the update.....

I think the audio libs for the speakers are broken...

Someone pls confirm it...
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ThatGeekyGuy:
Neces izgubiti jer je to zvanicni softver, e sad Srbija ko Srbija mozda bi i srali nesto ako npr sad ubacis MM i sutra nesto bude telefonu pa odneses da pogledaju jer kod nas ovaj update nece izaci skoro a vrlo moguce i nikad.... Tako da moja preporuka skini ti to ubaci i zivi zivot...

It wont brick, your warranty will remain because its a official firmware from Sony.

Audio works good, maybe even better than in Lollipop, i think its louder and now im not sure on this but i think that quality is much much better, using UK Vodafone build, E2303.

Phone bricked after flashing

Hey guys, I just flashed my m4 aqua E2303, first I unlocked the bootloader and then did the flashing of the Nordic Combined Marshmallow (since in Spain it is not yet available..), then I modified to get adopted storage 50/50..

Everything seemed to be going smoothly and I was in love with my new phone buuuuut...

Last night the battery drained, since I was out I didn't charge it until very late... And in the morning the phone was just dead... in the beginning if you pressed the power button it showed the "no battery" icon on the screen... after several tries this also stopped showing and it onle flashes the red LED a couple of times if you try to switch it on...

I've tried accessing it with Flashtool.. to no avail. it just won't be recognized by the PC.... any ideas?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] diyar95:
It's strange the new update battery is very good for me :-/
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] gowthamachandran:
I'm on E2363 Indian Firmware. Tried flashing it again using Xperia companion, the problem remains. Anyone with E2363 from India can help me. I just want to know whether it is my hardware/Marshmallow Firmware.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] ThatGeekyGuy:
The only way to know if it is a firmware or a hardware problem is to install another firmware version theyre all the same 98% but who knows. You can try UK firmware im using it and its awesome.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] gowthamachandran:
What I meant was if it is the hardware problem no one in India with E2363 and Indian Firmware should be facing this problem. Anyway I thank you for your quick replies :)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] cpozoalbirena:
Are you sure?

According to what I saw from January, the "course" Sony update schedule indicated that the Sony Xperia M4 Aqua start receiving Android Marshmallow at the end of January. Now, not if you think delayed a bit to jump directly to 6.0.1, but already been delayed a lot. :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] xysawq:
According to this post we should expect Marshmallow next week... can't wait!
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] jms_209:
Not honestly expecting it by the end of may, but who knows. What does W21 mean?

Does this say who is releasing it first, like for what region?

My amazon branded E2306, likely won't get it until months later. Amazon seems slow to release updates.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] vyrussu:
W21 means week no 21 of the year... should be this week or next week, depends on how you count first week.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] jms_209:
Really hope it's this week.

Not sure when it will start getting a wider release though.

Do updates come out all together around same time to all regions or does it vary?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] vinay:
week 21 is this week and yes it vary,s.. but you can get update through xperiafirm if it,s not released in your region.:good:

Just found this information in sonymobile.com. I hope this helps :)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Ray_Redfield:

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] dagger1:
So definitely no adoptable storage. Glad i got the 16gb version

Native file browser is pointless. Just an app (which i doubt is any better than ES file explorer)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] atmojoid:
[IMG="Adoptable MicroSD"]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cjbcu-vVAAAu9Kl.jpg:large[/IMG]

But it looks like they (Sony Xperia Developer) are adding adoptable MicroSD feature :D
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] dagger1:
I'd personally be very cautious to use a feature that involves the way the whole phone's data is stored that was non officially ported. But maybe they get it right, hopefully.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Darxor:
Well if it doesn't come with an adoptable storage, I'm selling this phone and buying the Honor 6 or P9 lite or something. I was going crazy that I can't store kind of anything and was just waiting if Marshmallow can sort things out. Seems like not. I'm disappointed
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] diyar95:
Xperia blog posted today that next week new beta version will release for z3 z2 with added adoptable storage that you can move all your app to sd card so of course xperia m4 will have adoptable storage too don't worry :D
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] rp-x1:
It'll be better than the bundled one you can't get rid of (File Commander) as i'm guessing it doesn't take up 200Mb.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] jms_209:
So this isn't going throug h a beta program? Atleast publicly right.

So this will likely be 6.0 and no updates after the release, even small changes?

anyone else facing this after marshmallow update. seems like wifi is draining my battery. any way to fix this? plese someone help me out
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] _katho_:
Any FTF for your model works. No need to wait for nordic.

---------- Post added at 10:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 PM ----------

Check with GSAM or another battery-app to see exactly what it is (app for example that is draining).

Hey guys!

Little question here. I want to upgrade to marshmallow, but it's not in my country yet (I'm in Austria)

I know I can actually flash any firmware listed for my model, but I wanted to be sure and ask you:

Currently I have lollipop with customization number 1295-6080_R5A T-mobile. The problem is I don't really know if my phone is locked, just because the customization number says it's for t-mobile?

So, I searched for some info in service info menu(*#*#7378423#*#*)

***I uploaded the screenshot of my simlock info

Now I want to know if my phone is locked and if I'm able to flash any firmware(with different customization number)?

Thanks in advance :good:

About the battery drain, i noticed MM allows apps to scan for wifi and bluetooth at any time, to turn it off you need to go to Location> 3 dots> Scanning.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] amelidis:
Not tha case! Mine was set to off both for wifi and bluetooth...
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Mephisto40:
The problem with the wifi doesn't seem to be about location roaming. On the previous version of android it would put your wifi into a sleep mode when you weren't near a configured wifi spot for a length of time, and would re enable the wifi when you got close to a configured wifi spot. It would periodically switch the wifi on for a split second to see if there are any saved hotspots it can connect to.

Now instead of doing this every now and again and then switching the wifi back off if it cant connect, it is using your wifi constantly to search for networks using full wifi signal from your phone., which is draining your battery.

The only way around it I've found is to install an app that takes care of this for you. I'm using 'Wi-Fi automatic' and it has cut my battery consumption in half. The app basically switches your wifi on every 2-3 minutes and checks for networks, and then switches it back off if it doesn't find one.

wifi battery draining solution

It wasn't actually draining battery i guess. it was just a bug showing false results. so i found a solution. worked for me. try this

Go to 'backup and reset" option, in the bottom there's network setting reset option. reset it. caution: it will remove all your network setting including mobile data.

Go to location> scanning>turn both wifi and bluetooth scanning off. set location mode to battery saving.

Reboot your device. It should be fixed.

I wish i can tell, its bad that we all just dont know, some one tell me maybe month or so, iam in Spain btw.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] mrm2007:
It depends on your mobile operator!

For Example : Vodafone UK & Virgin mobile UK already updated their M4 to Android 6! but other operators like O2 ,... didn't.

and in Spain, Vodafone spain already updated M4 to android 6! but similar to UK, other operators did not!

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] mrm2007:
So ,I think your phone is sim-free. (It's not locked to a operator only. you can use any operator sim-card in it and it works)

This changes everything. could you please send your customization number? (Goto >>Settings >> About Phone >> Diagnostics >> FACTS (tab))

it's a 3 section alphanumeric like 1234-5678 R5C

And use newest Flashtool.

youre awesome,...proceeding... should i follow this guide? 1. how to install the newest generic Android 6.0.1 for Sony XPERIA M4 Aqua E2303

a) first of all, check your firmware version (if you already have the newest one, you do not need this tutorial)

b) download and install latest Flashtool from this article

c) download also latest Android 6.0.1 for Sony XPERIA M4 Aqua

d) paste the ftf file downloaded in step c) to folder „Firmware“ included in the XPERIA Flashtool

e) open the XPERIA Flashtool, click on flash and choose downloaded firmware, than click ok. Important - if you do not want to delete any data of your phone, just uncheck flashing userdata.sin file. All data will remain in your phone, but sometimes it can cause additional troubles. So it is better (and I recommend that) to do the backup of your personal data, than proceed with clean instalation and then restore your personal data.

f) turn off your phone and when Flashtool shows pop up window, connect phone to PC with holding volume down button

g) after few minutes all is done and your phone gets the new firmware
