It focuses much faster than the stock camera also superior auto mode is much more........ Ummm...... Smarter. It makes better decisions concerning exposure and white balance.

Also in manual mode OP has added some extra scene modes which are awesome check his thread for more details.

I attached a sample pic taken with scene mode "Night noise free".

BTW I'm running on .575 firmware.

I really wonder if I should upgrade from kitkat to MM.

At this moment my Z2 is running top-notch. 2 days of battery life with moderate use and bluetooth always 'on' for smartwatch.

Al I ever read on LP and MM is wifi and BT issues, bad battery life, MM's lousy memory management, no widgets on lock screen, candy-like interface. and charging issues.

My only reason would be 'to be up-to-date'... but at what costs??
[Xperia Z2 General] dieccast39:
Just updated to 575 MM!

The nee update is pretty good with some bad things!

1)the animations sometimes are awesome and smooth but on the other hand they are laggy and have some kind of stutter

2)super auto in camera has only 8mp? ??

3)even in 6.0.1 there are no notification badges

4) battery seems good But stamina mode must return with the new update for better battery life

5)there is some lag in the phone app

6) i cant log in with google account in the caf browser.

When i try to login in the caf browser with google account in order to sychronize bookmarks etc it says that this account is already in the device i dont understand what is this!

PS:

So...Buddies... Please Do such feedback too who are getting beta updates, as this will be the last android version for Z2. :) and we would like to have such issues/features fixed on our last stock ROM :)

Because announcement for new changes are this perhaps. (Good things are multitasking & wifi fixes, but seems nothing for camera)

Is it possible to flash the international marshmallow on the japanese docomo version? :(

I am stuck on kitkat, please help me
[Xperia Z2 General] ashishkr:
Ya may be that's the reason, but do you remember old phones like Xperia "Live with Walkman" was very good at ring volume, also because of their active stereo speakers. Actually stereo speakers together produces a richer and wider sound which makes it more hearable even in bit noisy environment.

Although I know there are mods available for making everything stereo but ofcourse for rooted device & currently my this device is not rooted

Anyways... I think it would be the best if enabling automatic call answer feature (smart call handling) would disable/lower the volume for top speaker itself.

Hello All !

Just a quick note, I come from 5.1.1 rooted

I try the 575, with all the mess to get TWRP and root, not easy as usual with PRF Creator

I just install Titanium Backup but ... TB never find my licence, neither on internal or ext-Sdcard and i get many Write SDCARD right problem so I end to revert to my backup of 5.1.1

Do you know a thread where these Rights problems are explained/solved ?

Any of you got the same ?

Upgraded. Battery life: terrible. 70% left estimated do drain at 5 pm :o. Installed doze from play store - not seen any difference. No white balance in camera manual mode lol. Aand how can i disable that upper google search bar in the menu? I disabled it in the home screen but i want to do it in the menu too.?

---------- Post added at 12:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 PM ----------

Update: it.s called "search application" bar in the main menu. Any chance to disable it? By the way the phone's animations are fast but not smooth. Android 6 it's like watching a 6 fps movie or something. Not satisfied. While i've written these 2 posts, my battery drained 5%. Lol. Do NOT update
[Xperia Z2 General] kokesh:
Any OS will drain more battery upon upgrade. That was normal with any version. Wait a day or two.

Do not install any "Doze from the Play Store", it is not an app, but part of the OS. Built in, turned on by default. The only thing you can change about that is go to Settings and choose apps, which should not be optimized (Android Wear app will ask you to do that for example).
[Xperia Z2 General] pilifida:
Also the camera starts way too slow... Btw i.ve found the white balance settings
[Xperia Z2 General] ashishkr:
Hello...!! suggest me, share what percentage do you keep the amount of brightness for display (or any white balance value)

I know it varies through person to person by their choice.

I keep 50% which gives me approx 7 hrs of SOT (with 40% to 45% power usage by screen)

But somewhere in Marshmallow screen seems to be little bright (may be I wrong), so now thinking to decrease it's level at some extent to decrease some power usage by screen.

7 hours SOT on MM? Do you have data 3G and Wi-Fi always on?

[Xperia Z2 General] pilifida:
35-40% brightness. Maybe i.ll be lucky with 2.5h sot
[Xperia Z2 General] adam_purkis:
Yeah seriously I haven't been able to get more than 3 hours of sot now for like 6 months.. Maybe a rogue app, or maybe just because I always have WiFi and 4g on
[Xperia Z2 General] ashishkr:
In my case I always use mobile data, very rare on Wi-Fi, and I don't keep data always on and even I keep it to gsm only mode to receive notifications or for chat on WhatsApp etc.

It also saves battery, you always don't need 4g, 3g or high speed connection to receive notifications or for chatting/mail apps which generally takes bytes/kilobytes of data

via ➧ Xperia™

---------- Post added at 03:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 AM ----------

Yes I can say, you should sure check for your battery drainer app, and must disable notifications for app which you don't use.

For 7 hrs (approx) SOT or say in order to save my battery I keeps greenifying 25+ apps including some system apps, and even disabled many useless apps (which I don't use). They usually push notifications and also increase wakeups. + I always keep track on for battery hungry apps (atleast as much as I can on this non-rooted device) and running services.

status update after 3 days on marshmallow:

Installed greenify, so now i have about almost 4 hours SOT. A little bit better than my previous battery life with lollipop (3,5 hours). Do not know if that greenify has such a massive contribution. Waiting for the new update with stamina mode. Hope i'll reach 5h SOT :)). BTW auto brightness, set at 25-30% level. 3Galways on, no wifi.

Still cannot get rid of that search applications menu bar. Anyone knows how to disable it?

Sorry for not reading through the thread. I've got a question. I've updated to the latest 23.5.A.0.575 and the quality during calls is shocking - not on my side but on the other end.

First disable noise suppression. Then:

blow with a powerful compressed air blower into your microphone holes. Dirt and dust distorts the sound. Worked for me every time. Blow from an angle not directly into the holes.

Could you post a list of apps you greenified?????? (I'm mostly interested in the system apps you greenified)
[Xperia Z2 General] ashishkr:
Ok sure...!!

Though there are very rare system app I feel need to greenify especially in Marshmallow, (and also if you already disabled them)

List include-

ant service

smart connect

Googleplay games, movies, newstands

Drive, Box (if you don't use much)

Photo analyser service (perhaps it's safe to disable/hibernate but I don't prefer to)

Smart band (If you don't use regularly)

Gapps (like google, TTS or its other services)

And when it comes to user app my list is-

Podcast

Game stores

Sketch

Lifelog

Adobe Reader

Amazon (or other shopping app, i don't always notifications)

Maps (one of the google's service battery drainer app)

Mx player

Airtel app

Officesuite

Pixlr

Playstation

ShareIt

Social life

Banking software (No loss in hibernating)

UC browser (it's 3 services also contribute with others to eat battery)

Vine

And some more...

And not to forget we are hibernating those app means when we want to use we can use it instantly just by opening unlike freezing or disabling

Ram management can be fixed easily, You'll have to install a managing app. I recommend Kernel Aduitor.

how to make your own pre-rooted ftf file and then root it.

to make pre-rooted ftf file just follow this instruction: http://www.xperiablog.net/2016/03/12/install-xperia-marshmallow-using-flashtool-and-xperifirm-guide/

the next step to root the prepared ftf file including Super Su and Recovery zip http://xdaforums.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/tool-prfcreator-easily-create-pre-t2859904

besides rooting there is a possibility to include different apps (like Titanium) into your rooted flashable file.
