wow, that pretty bad. On lollipop i used to easily get 3.5 hours SOT and sometimes 4+ hrs.

Currently, i switched off some google play services (such as it monitoring my device activity and the Ok Google voice thing), charged the phone last night at 11:30pm to 94%. Only have 4G switched on (WiFi and BT are switched off) and going to use my phone normally to see how my battery stats are at the end of the day.

So far, My overnight standby drain was 2% (over 8 hours), and currently at 12:16pm my phone is sitting at 87%. Looking good.

Ill report my battery usage when the battery hits <20%. I'm just going to avoid obsessively looking at the battery stuff for now.

An update about my audio Bluetooth issues. I've tried two Bluetooth audio devices and music skips a lot with both of them to the point of being unusable.

Bluetooth audio skipping seems to be related with cpu activity. The busiest the phone is the more it skips, although it's sort of random....

Can't really use the phone like this. I use Bluetooth audio a lot
[Xperia Z5 General] lixin931125:
Maybe the Quick Charge is broken in 6.0.

The charge power varies from 3 watt to 6 or 7 watt when Z5 is turned on.

But it is stabilized at 13 watt when I turn off the phone.

After several reboots, QC may work right again.

I updated my phone with flashtool, and I gonna reset it with PCC to check it again.
[Xperia Z5 General] TheEndHK:
I just tested again about radio active bug and battery on MM. By turning Airplane mode on with wifi/BT disabled dropped 1% after 4hrs of idle in this morning but last night I went to sleep with Airplane(only BT enabled) got dropped 8% after 8hrs idle. So, I think BT consumed much battery, should be keep scanning in the background.
[Xperia Z5 General] ross23:
Ok. So I'm just going to add that my phone has had very little battery drain with WiFi, BT and location all switched off and using the phone strictly on 4G (with pretty poor signal strength most of the time, having yellow bars for signal strength). I charged the phone last night to 94% at 11:30pm and today at 7:00pm the battery is at 80%. That standby is fantastic. I have used the phone sparingly throughout the day (busy at work, very little time to play with it). So in 19.5 hours the phone dropped only 14%! I actually am impressed at Doze.

But here are my battery stats

Cell standby consumes the most battery at 23%

Screen consumed 5% (is about 7th down the list) at about 30minutes of SOT.

in between Cell standby and the Screen are apps that show high usage due to Mobile Radio Active.

But the phone in 19.5 hours only dropped 14%. So I don't think that the mobile radio active bug really does impact battery. It is probably just an error in stats reading, giving misleading battery statistics.

Hopefully I see better battery improvements over the next week. I did repair the software, so i guess starting afresh means that the OS is trying to learn my usage patterns (I presume).
[Xperia Z5 General] lixin931125:
Still the same issue after reset. Now report to Sony.
[Xperia Z5 General] gamer649:
I was constantly plagued by apps keeping the phone awake and the mobile radio active bug, causing very high battery drain, some apps were ones I used constantly while others I used occasionally (and these ones I ended up removing). Hopefully MM brings improvements and finally fixes the damn bug.

On another note, the battery drain overnight seems to be a lot better. Last night I forgot to plug my phone into charge, battery drained about 2% over 6 hours or so. In this time frame on LP I would have had about 15%-20% drop. Doze definitely seems to be doing its job properly, glad to see this. I don't know why people were bashing it before they'd even tried it on our devices.
[Xperia Z5 General] Venomphone:
Same here. I had to disable app "Screen Off and Lock" from device administrators in order to scanner work again.
[Xperia Z5 General] cj1171:
Yeah, I noticed this with playing audio in my car yesterday. So they fixed the connection but now it's pegging the CPU or something so anything else using a bunch of CPU makes it chug.
[Xperia Z5 General] 9006:
Fingerprint recognition seems to have gotten worse with 6. Either says 'Not Recognized' or 'Finger removed too fast' when on Lolipop it tended to unlock BEFORE i even had time to remove my finger. Works maybe 2/10 times.

Like others my battery doesn't last as long as it did on Lolipop. Considering a factory reset after the update.
[Xperia Z5 General] 4RM4N1:
Someone also gets here random full freezes? my phone freezes, then the led is in read and is flashing for some seconds and then the phone is restarting...
[Xperia Z5 General] Astaine Akash:
yes you are right about fingerprint issue this is also happening to my phone.but battery life is good and far better than LP.Doze works better than stamania. :)
[Xperia Z5 General] Yakkosmurf:
On LP, I found the fingerprint recognition to be pretty good. On par with my iPhone 5S. With MM, I find it a tad faster so far.

How do you get other apps to use it? My banking app and password vault don't seem to be using it. It is just up to the app to support it?
[Xperia Z5 General] Funkmasterchilla:
It looks like Wi-Fi stays on although I turned it off along with Wi-Fi location and all. Any idea ?
[Xperia Z5 General] gamer649:
I had this earlier, my solution:

Settings > WiFi > 3 dots > advanced > Keep WiFi On During Sleep - Never

Settings > Location > 3 dots > Scanning > WiFi Scanning & Bluetooth Scanning - Both off.

Hope this helps.
[Xperia Z5 General] Funkmasterchilla:
Yes I did that too that's the reason why I think there might be a bug here actually :/

[Xperia Z5 General] gamer649:
I'm not entirely sure then, did you wipe all data/factory reset after updating to MM?

But mine seems fine after doing it, how long ago did you do yours?
[Xperia Z5 General] millicent:
I also started out with less than 3 hours sot after update, I got it back to lollipop battery usage, that is 5-6 hours in 24 hours. I might write a small guide later on..
[Xperia Z5 General] Wess.a:
Waiting
[Xperia Z5 General] Wess.a:
Wow! How did you do that?
[Xperia Z5 General] millicent:
This is kinda what I expect since ll. I think the most important step I take with battery life improvement is really more generic and I try to do it once a month or whenever it deteriorates visibly, simply calibrate. Discharge it to lowest you can, below 5%, power off, charge from wall until full and then some more, start the phone while plugged, make sure it reads 100 % and unplug charger.
[Xperia Z5 General] Wess.a:
Will try that and tell you

After updating to MM I installed line messaging app and I cnt verify using sms nor fb!!! What should I do?!! And there no calling option for my country!!!
[Xperia Z5 General] wujae:
Updated 2 days ago. HK firmware. Dual Sim variant. E6683. Via PCC, factory reset after. Manually reinstalled all apps.

Here's my experience so far:

The good:

1. phone feels snappier *

2. Google on Tap is useful

3. Camera loads faster (from cold. About 1 - 1.5 sec from 2-3 before)

4. Fingerprint feature is more useful now, e.g. I use Nine for work mail. The fingerprint access is way more convenient than the passcode (although I can still use the code if I want to exercise my fingers)

5. Being able to define default sms/calling SIM is nice.

6. Smartlock and trusted devices work better.

The not-so-good:

1. although the phone feels snappier, the pull down of quick settings via Nova Prime is super slow (Others have reported the same in another thread here)

2. the small app bug is definitely there - if any app is given accessibility access, the small app and nav bar are overlapped and the small app can't be used. Remove the accessibility access of all apps and the small app can be used and the overlap is gone. I use several apps, including a fingerprint unlock app, that requires the accessibility and I seldom use the small app - so in my case, I'd rather have those.

3. Dual sim settings don't work as well (except for the default SIM settings for sms/call) - in LL, if you change data SIM from A to B, the settings for each one (I use Wireless and Networks/More/Mobile Networks to directly jump to choosing) is automatically matched to your choice. In MM, if you change data SIM choice, the default network type for the chosen SIM will be GSM. So you have to change that again. An extra step not found in LL. In LL, if you previously chose LTE for that SIM, it would remember it.

5. if the lock screen is activated by another app (like Nova or Screen Lock or the variants), the fingerprint feature becomes unavailable. Only by pressing the power button to lock will the fingerprint unlock work. In my case, I want to use swipe gestures to lock (more convenient and saves button presses). A work around for me is to use an app that just switches off the screen. I have set my Security to automatically lock when screen is off. The app is Screen Off (it does not lock the screen. Just blanks it).

6. Double tap to unlock still does not work well - putting it in your trouser pocket will lead to 1) phone trying to dial 2) (strangely) switching the flashlight on (I've actually felt the phone so hot in my jeans because the flashlight had been on for a few minutes).

Can't say if battery life is improved. B/T seems to be the same. I still can't connect automatically to my car's BT but the phone does connect to some devices automatically (ironically, does not connect automatically to my SONY SBH80 unless I manually throw to it). The connection to my healthband (vivosmart) seems to be more reliable.

I'll probably see a few more quirks as I spend more time on the phone.

If anyone knows work arounds or fixes, I'd be very happy to learn from you.
[Xperia Z5 General] BR4DOKYBrazil:
Clean.
[Xperia Z5 General] blakwhite:
For the small apps overlapping problem, try restarting in safe mode and open and use a small app. Then reboot. The problem is gone (until next time maybe).

Anyway, even if it overlaps, you may succeed to get it working by pressing the upper end of the small app bar, I mean the line.
[Xperia Z5 General] gamer649:
Weird... That actually works. I was a bit skeptical but it works. Cheers.
[Xperia Z5 General] wujae:
Thank you for the tip. I like the second work around.

[Xperia Z5 General] Alvaris:
I'm also experiencing the same problem with copy pasting in chat heads.

Did some searching, apparently it's a known bug with no fix (?) yet in Marshmellow. Some other devices like the Nexus 5 on MM are also experiencing it.
[Xperia Z5 General] bartolo5:
Pile this one up!

On Z5 dual E6683, when having two SIMs on the device (the only reason why you would get this device anyway) one of the SIMs disappears and you are left with the other one. The only way to solve this problem is rebooting but it doesn't matter because SIM will disappear too again.

This bug means that your Z5 dual SIM capability is totally useless with this update. Amazing this made it past QA, it's a total showstopper.
[Xperia Z5 General] tallguy_uk_98:
Having posted the same issue on the Sony support forum, it appears to be an issue with the Smartband2 app and BLE, have removed the Smartband2 app and can report everything is solid with BT, although I've not tried any android wear devices yet.
[Xperia Z5 General] millicent:
Enable some of the bloat you disabled, hopefully that will help
[Xperia Z5 General] Daniel_GB:
I don't know if this problem is already solved, but someone found a solution for overlapping small apps and navigation bar issue on talk.sonymobile forum:

Restart the phone in safe mode, and then start one of the small apps!

after that restart the phone normally and everything should be fine!

Solved the problem for me!
[Xperia Z5 General] sylwester.cz:
Hi millicent, can you please let me know what exactly (bloat) should I enable? Or at least give me some hint?
[Xperia Z5 General] millicent:
I had the issue you mentioned happen here on 2 occasions, after debloating the phone. The easiest way for me to get rid of it was to reenable one or more of the Sony apps that came preinstalled.

Are you running mm or still on lollipop? Did you disable those apps? Here's a scr of my disabled apps so far.
[Xperia Z5 General] sylwester.cz:
I am on MM (Sweden) and to be honest I did not disable many bloatware, only lifelog. I will enable it and check if it helps.

By the way, I just browsed keyboard/language settings and the phone restarted as well. Weird...

In general I am happy with MM (battery wise), just that restarting is a bit annoying.
[Xperia Z5 General] millicent:
I hope it's lifelog as otherwise have no other idea than factory reset, sorry. Perhaps someone else thinks of a less drastic resolution but I kinda doubt.
[Xperia Z5 General] Mahdian57:

Did you all do a factory reset after you updated? I did and have no issues whatsoever.

Media/Alarm volume chevron sometimes missing

Hitting the volume rocker pops up the volume overlay which quite often is missing the little downwards pointing chevron expander so you can also change the media or alarm volumes. Rebooting seems to fix it for a while but is soon disappears again. Annoying as I use this feature every night and again the following morning.

E.g. Volume chevron missing:

[IMG="Volume chevron missing"]http://i.imgur.com/tOLVLTp.png[/IMG]

Reboot to restore (for a while).

[IMG="Reboot to temporarily restore"]http://i.imgur.com/LdYw6G6.png[/IMG]

It got mentioned over on Sony's Z5 ignore forum but didn't get much attention. Maybe not too many people are affected or just haven't noticed yet...

Haven't found any solution and I've tried everything :( . What version of the phone do you have? Z5 dual E6683 here.
[Xperia Z5 General] Barthlon:

Odd behavior - mobile data switching off

Since I updated (clean install) to MM, I have had several instances where the mobile data is switched off (and my guess is that it is not related to doze since my device is either plugged in, or being used, moved....).

Does anyone have the same experience?

E6683 Dual.

HK firmware.

Two running sims. Data setting is on LTE preferred.

Black Screen

Hello,

Fresh install :

During a call, the screen goes black, normal. But at the end of the call remains black. Unable to get out of the sleep state of the screen. Sometimes when I place the hand near the sensor, the screen turns back on. I was under lollipop problem but it happened much less often

[Xperia Z5 General] millicent:
I assume you let your various services sync after update. That might take a while, say if you keep many photos handled by photos or other cloud service.

Otherwise, try settings, storage,apps clear all cache and reboot.

even with my phone on vibrate my camera makes notification sounds like when you click a pic or when the camera focus'es and makes a sound and there is no option to turn it off in the camera settings.

It seems the region you flashed or the one given by your carrier does not allow disabling shutter sound. If it's the carrier, try again after removing sim card.

I meant if you have an US sim (whatever carrier) on roaming in India for example, it would apply the law in the US for shutter sounds. I have no other idea, read that thread...

Looks like you have the old camera app. I had it too and when I cleared app data and reset it i got the new interface in settings and lost the camera shutter option
[Xperia Z5 General] ciprianmp:
Hmm, I should not clear any app data then...

Indeed I upgraded without any wipe, but could system apps inherit the old versions? That would be dumb of Sony or Google, whichever comes first. lol

Of course, few minutes later I did clean app data for the Camera app.

That is the same UI I have. So it is your carrier. You should test with a foreign or international sim card.

I have done that too. Its not carriers related as we do not have such concepts in India. And the carrier has no control over the mobile as it does in the US.

Sorry, it was an opinion based on what I read on that link I posted earlier. I am not a guru, so let's hear some more opinions. However, it was reported as a bug since November 15, mainly by Moto X users. Too bad it made it to Z5 now...
