Most of sony update was at 7th of beginning of month so i believe it will be same for xperia m4 so we don't have anything to do just waiting ?
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] jonnyd100:
After having a Moto G 4G, coming to the M4 was a massive change. Even the 8GB on it could hold way more apps. Updates were fast, months after the announcement and an overall more enjoyable experience. Adaptive storage would make this device amazing and something I really miss from my moto G is USB Otg. I still have my old adapter lying around and I miss being able to plug in remotes and USB Drives. I'm stuck with this phone for 2 years. Hopefully in that time they will have brought out the update. May try and swap this phone for a new Moto G 4 Plus. They look amazing. Don't get me wrong. The phone feels nice looks good. I like the Sony skin. Pretty full on but customisable and nice looking. Snappy but can hang and lag. I had to send mine in for repair because of a faulty GPS. And I can't fault sony's customer service. I'm happy to be stuck with this phone, since it isn't have nice feels good and I can't go back to a smaller phone.

Xperia M4 Aqua Update to Marshmallow

Bad to see this but Sony starting economy on every step. Unbelievable but China phones now have much better support and update periods....

This is my last phone from Sony. Android 7 on the way and we sitting and waiting Andriod 6 from Sony.....
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] donalberto17:
Same here, my last sony phone from sony. This is one of the reasons they are losing customers and at this rhythm they will broke on phones department.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] 3kolik:
Sony problem is quantity of devices. They made too much models, propably even at this time they are working on something new. Maybe is better to make one high-end, mid-end, low-end and compact in one year and keep it fresh instead of making 10 similiar phones every half-year. Support for Z serie if really great, also Lollipop for M2 was good, but the more phones that more work, so it take loooong time to make new version for mid-end. Altought this phone need it more ten all Z together.

In my opinion, Samsung has much more devices than Sony, but they deliver updates faster than Sony.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] rile1564:
Not true. I have only samsung devices and got my wife a Sony M4 because samsung takes so long to update. Their flagship phones get updated far later than Sony's flagships. They update their S series flagships about 2-3 months later than Sony does the Z series.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] matinhat0r:
Today I wrote with the Sony Chat Support because I had some problems with the headphone jack not working. I also asked when the Android 6 Update will arrive and they said that they already started with it. They said it depends on your country, so who knows?

I'm not sure if they did lie to me, but anyways we have to be close :victory:
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] dagger1:
They started seeding or developing? I just checked in xperifirm and .120 is still the latest firmware
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] matinhat0r:
They said they started seeding and that I don't have it because they obviously can't roll it out for everyone at the same time. Thats why I guessed that they were probably lying because there should be atleast someone oon this forum who already got it.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] realpits:

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] tomcis147:
So today asked support about update and adoptable storage... They still don't have date for release and they said that there are none Xperia device that supports adoptable storage, so there is huge chance that we will be left with stupid 2gb of space... Sony is digging grave for themself
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] jhaz123:
I rooted my device and enjoying an extra 1.7gb on top of all the apps and games I have. Used root uninstaller and link2sd.. Though I still hope for the adoptable storage in Marshmallow. But in case it won't happen, there's always CM to save the day (device) :)
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] mb011:
If I am not mistaken they announced new mm beta for this week, with the possibility of "moving apps to SD card"..

I'm so disappointed with Sony updates, I still waiting for 6 mouths.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] jms_209:
Kept thinking it wouldn't come last week, so I thought this week.

At this rate I expect it at the end of June.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] francois64:
Please stop bashing Sony.

They promised 6.0.1 update for z5 serie and the update arrived today.

In my opinion, Sony is one of the most serious company, to do with updates ans promises.

I gave up using Motorola because we we have been a lot of users disapointed after 1 year waiting for a promised update they canceled at the end.

So i trust Sony more than others...
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] donalberto17:
That is not the problem, the problem is they take a lot of time to update like if they only had 3 engineers.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] francois64:
Once again, i had 6.0.0 update in March 2016 and today 6.0.1 .

For me it's a correct delay.

I understand that for M4 the situation is different but it's not really a flagship.

So they are focused on recent models and also on Z3 series which is not so bad.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] dagger1:
It's not, provided that you have one of said flagships. But they promised Marshmallow for this device (and many, myself included) bought it under that premise, so fact that they still havent even given an official release date is at the least frustrating. But yeah, as you said, there are far worse manufacturers, update-wise.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] francois64:
In my opinion, we are really close to release roll out .

And of course, the more we are close, the more we are impatient...

[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] escobar_:
I'm pretty sure it won't. As a matter of fact, I'm starting to think it will never be released for M4.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] TheVektor:
They are working on it. You can see it on their github. But its really slow as a f*ck.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] KondziuAfro:
Here it comes! ^^ Now for E2306. Check here -> xpericheck . com
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] dagger1:

That will help us empty our mind and not saddened by our delayed update.

Well I'm checking PTCRB everyday, and there's no sign of MM update coming.

there were 3-4 day gaps between PTCRB certification and update rolling last time.

So I'm becoming doubtful that it will come this week.

Please Sony... you can do this....
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Waancho:
We should look into a phone made by another manufacturer.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] rile1564:
Or a flagship and not a mid grade phone. The Z series had been upgraded a while ago. Don't get a cheap phone and cry that updates take too long. The M4 isn't a priority for Sony.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] static28:
Asus just released marshmallow a while ago in our country :(
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] Luumumba:
No big difference between android 5 and 6 why cry about waiting a bit longer. So many phones never see any update.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] dagger1:
The point is that the firmware sony made for lollipop (5.0) is terrible. So that's why an update to a marshmallow firmware, which is supposed to have been developed better by Sony is really needed (besides the new features and security improvements).

But yeah, many phones never see an update at all. So let's hope Sony gives us a quality update.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] coelhooliveirar:
I've seen MM for other Xperias and they didn't feel any better or much different from Lollipop, so I would not expect too much for the update.
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] demolition.nick:
Cuz this phone has a lot of problems:

Overheting. No hotplug, all cores are working all the time, all 8! This is stupid. No OTG. Snapdragon 615 supported this. Thermal engine is awful. Incorrect settting for interactive cpu governor, you cnnot fix this without root access. Stock player always lag, you can fix this using player with audio buffer setting. Maybe i missed something, but it doesn't matter. This phone needs in update more than others. Maybe because of that we should wait more than owners of other xperia phones.

Sorry for my bad english
[Sony Xperia M4 Aqua] sergioslk:
overheating is a hardware related issue, the sd615 have this problem even in the moto x play

Hey guys (and gals)...

i was just strolling around today, and thought to myself..

man this grey HTC background sucks...Just curious if anyone has made a good background for their wizard.

I was trying to find a good Vista Aurora style one, but My effors were not so good =\
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Myrddin Wyllt:
Gimme some colors and a basic idea what you want to see as a bg. Are you looking for dials and whatnot to use as bg for rlToday, or are you just looking for a nice pic to match your color scheme, or what?

If you're just looking for some nice pics to chop and use as background, I suggest looking here: http://www.everystockphoto.com/

It's a search enabled, indexed library of royalty free or cheap pictures (if use is private, no royalties apply).

If you're looking for something custom-made, you need to post specifications.

Custom program icons and background:

Vista Aurora bg you can chop/resize yourself (download PhotoPlus, it's free and easy to use):
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] shadezero:
I'm looking for a vista theme and background.

The closest I've gotten is the HTC_Default theme.

and with this background :

I like most of it, except, the grey doesn't show up too well on the phone.

If only it was a solid black with the little blue "aurora" lines, that would be great (also, it was somewhat difficult adjusting the size to fit the phone)

Edit: I know the quality of the picture sucks monkey balls, thats because I changed it from BMP to Jpeg (easier to upload).

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Administr4tor:
Hello friends,

This note5 SM920W8 is stuck at boot screen and its not going in recovery mode too.

I have tried flashing spacex kernel, arte47 kernel, but it wont boot after boot screen

I have tried downloading stock rom N920W8VLU1AOI1 and flashing it but flashing stock is *GETTING FAILED* in odin everytime, but when I flash kernel then odin is not failing

I have also tried flashing TWRP recovery for note 5 but still I cant get the phone to turn ON or still cant get phone into recovery mode after boot screen

Please look at screenshots

How to fix it?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brava27:
Very odd. Flash stock firmware. Make sure you download the correct one and newest Odin.

Sent from my Note 5 on Bell
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thereassaad:
1st wrong forum to post ur question ,

2nd kernel its not seandroid its related to custom kernel

3rd odin failed we can't help u as we need full screenshot for odin where its failed ok so could u post full logs that's shows on odin when its failed ok ..
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Administr4tor:
I tried other firmware and it passed through ODIN but again the phone is stuck at boot screen.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Reboot to recovery and wipe data.

Remember your recovery is stock after odin and it will erase int storage data too.

And please don't use development section for this purpose
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Administr4tor:
1. when its battery dies and as soon I plug the charger in the phone shows boot logo and stuck there

2. I cant get into reocvery mode, I have tried all key combinations from that stuck boot logo screen

3. I can only get to the stuck boot logo screen and download mode, now how do I reset phone if phone is not going in recovery mode.

Thank You Ketan Bhai, kem cho majama?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebusuhejbi:
The same thing i have with my sm-n920w8 ...go in download mode check the down button and when the phone boot make the up and home button taken and the phone go on recovery. ..try a screenshot to see what say. ....

---------- Post added at 06:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 PM ----------

Or flash a custom kernel and i believe it's boot again. ..sorry for my poor english
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
You need to press Vol down +power to restart. As soon as restart press three button to reboot to recovery

Or easy way try this

Flash rom with cache (csc) tab of Odin
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Administr4tor:
i Tried following CUSTOM KERNEL and still it doesnt go to RECOVERY MODE, i press volume up and home and its still stuck at BOOT LOGO

I have just flashed WITH CSC TAB of odin and this is the result, its still stuck at boot screen and not going into recovery mode.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Press power +Vol down. Once you see blank screen, immediately press Vol up +home +power and see if it goes to recovery.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Also after flashing with cache with odin you need to wait 5min to boot
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Administr4tor:
No sir, its not going into recovery mode, always stuck at boot logo.

Thank you
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Two options left to try that I can suggest

1.extract cache. Img from tar repack it to tar and flash using cache tab of Odin

2.flash rom + including pit file.

If you search and get pac firmwares then it's best as this will have all separate file +pit

If that fail then possibility faulty battery but n5 we can't do else with non removable battery
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Administr4tor:
I can try removing battery out, I have removed few batteries before in note5 and galaxy s6, s6e+, though, its a headache to remove those, also I was wondering whether anything else is left to try, like DRK etc.?

This is all the files that I have been trying so far as per thread
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Try kies

You should have serial number of your device handy then try that.

Open kies - Tool - there will be restore or something option. Just select and follow wizard
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Larry Johnson:
Try this:

- get into download mode.

- flash stock rom with odin(uncheck autoreboot)

- after flashing is done, phone should be still in dowload mode. (unplug usb cable)

- press and HOLD (vol dwn and pwr) for like 5 sec. ***as soon as the phone's screen turns black, immediately press and hold (vol up, home, pwr) and HOLD it for a LONG time untill you see little andy/or recovery mode. (remember to keep holding even if you see any error message)

- in recovery mode, wipe data-factory reset.

- reboot and wait for your phone to bootup. will take a while.

*to get out of any frozen screen - press and hold (vol dwn, vol up, home, pwr) all together for 5~10 seconds.

Did anyone find a fix I'm in need of Help I have a similar issue flashed NobelKernel build3 then made a mistake a flashed xposed 1rm64 bootloop wont stop tried to flash back to stock in Odin ( Odin doesent response when I choose n920TUVUA1AOGE file it only responds when I choose Nobelkernel build 2 or 3 what am I doing wrong how can I just go back to stock with a functioning phone
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jammol:
None of you have reported you are wiping the device. The first thing you need to do is establish if you can or cannot get into recovery properly. There's no reason you shouldn't be able to get into recovery because what you have flashed does not touch the recovery partition whatsoever.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Izz14:
I wiped the device from Twrp I also wiped via android recovery after removing twrp complete wipe of all data , cache still no luck bypassing bootloop

why does odin not recognize the stockfirmware and freezes , it only works when I choose the NobelKernel build2, 3 am I missing something here u

I check AP browse for files ( stockfirmware) then it just freezes if I choose NobelKernel it works but bootloops hope you can help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Seireiju:
So as far as I'm aware:

If you have an AT&T branded smartphone, or any other that's in their system, and you insert a SIM that doesn't have a data plan, ATT will just add one for you.

(Because it's in their ToS that you need to have one blah blah blah.)

But if it's a non-ATT phone, it's hit or miss on whether they can detect your phone or not, and the risk is that they eventually might.

Now, has anyone that has unlocked their S4 through the methods posted here use their phone on AT&T without a data plan and tell me if they didn't eventually get detected?

I checked my IMEI with AT&T in two ways:

AT&T Unlock Page

As you would guess, it said go to your own carrier to unlock it,

AT&T BYOD Page

Putting my IMEI in just throws an error and asks to type it in again

I have a friend that uses a flip phone and I told her she could use my S4 since it's just sitting around being used as a TV remote, but she doesn't want to pay for data and I don't want to confuse her by telling her to switch to GoPhone, since her phone is on her parents account and stuff.

Hello Everyone!

I just got a New t mobile note 4 SM-n910T3 lollypop? 5.1.1

I have been Cruzin this site and the web all night looking on how to root this phone without tripping knox

I am on a satellite internet service (HUGHESNET) and it is so very slow at times and only 250 megs of web surfing per day and I just about burned up my days allotment today trying to figure this phone out and rooting it

was going to get a note 5 but you can't replace a battery or add a sd card. most of Samsung new models are like the note 5, then finding out about this 5.1.1!! it looks like Samsung does not like people that buy there phones to modify or customize what they pay $500 to $700 for

So what is the best way to root this phone?? without tripping the knox

there is www.towelroot.com does this trip knox?

pingpong root?

one click root?

kingroot?

man o man this seems to go on and on

I wish the moderators here would make a thread on tested rooting processes so those of us that

do not have the skills that most people here at XDA do!! So like this post I think there are many many more like mine here!

Sorry if this has been posted by someone else
