6.0.1 review so far. Day one. Phone is legitimately quicker. Just a small amount, but noticeable. Double tap to wake seems faster. All functions working perfectly for me. App permissions are amazing. Feels like having root. I've enjoyed denying access to functions that are pointless. App standby settings in developer options are superb. It's like Stamina Mode, but individual to each app. Battery seems similar to 5.1.1. Need a week of use to confirm. So far I'm impressed. Combined with the Marshmallow theme it's like a Sony Nexus.
[Xperia Z3 General] Licaon_Kter:
How is that Internet permission denying going, though? Oh, you can't deny that permission? Funny, get NetGuard ;)
[Xperia Z3 General] dante2086:
Weird bug. When using my Bluetooth headphones when I press pause on the headphones it takes 2-3 secs for the music to pause. This was not the case before the update. Weirdly the other commands are still instantaneous.
[Xperia Z3 General] BIK_CRO:
Yes , bluetooth is bugy on MM, we waiting for sony to fix it..

Sony has released Android N test and Android MM is still beta i'm confused

Inviato dal mio D6603 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Xperia Z3 General] browngeek:
Yeah, so basically now Sony has in effect three beta roms: concept rom, MM beta and N preview. On top of that it is rolling out stable MM. All for the Z3 (as long as its not dual, which is just getting the stable MM).
[Xperia Z3 General] Ultraman1966:
I was desperately trying to justify a reason for the delay but I was really grabbing straws. At any rate, I am on the concept software now; it's worth it!
[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
A few more regions today (Norway and Sweden).

The delay is so they can halt it and fix problems if any occur.
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
Don't take it on you, there will always be people who are never satisfied. Sony is delivering maybe later than expected, but AFAIK Sony M build has fewer issues than other vendors who got quicker on release. AFAIK is Z3 (together with Z2) only device, for which is software range available from KK to N, Anroid N being available as second vendor next to Google's Nexus family on developer preview. If Z3 get's N, it will be only device ever on market to get 4 generations (4,5 including 5.1.1) of Android OS officially.
[Xperia Z3 General] jordanvachon:
it'd be nice if sony and google were starting to get closer to sony , phones, consoles, tv, ... make special os for smart tv to work with a new console based on android model . link everything together . just think of what could be done lol .
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
Yes, everything ruled over by Google... sorry, recipe for a disaster..:mad:
[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
Then you could literally change the channel on your tv using your phone instead of the remote control. It would be like we were finally living in the future.

How do we create, ftf file using pc companion or xperia companion? Earlier these firmware files were saved in the blob folder. Now they are moved by sony in local storage folder. After downloading the firmware, there are 4 files in the localstorage folder. When I try to decrypt these files using flashtool I am not able decrypt them. Can some help me with this issue plz.. It would be great help for me.. I am using windows 7.

Hey guys - what about MM for D6603 in CE1 version? I mean prerooted as well :) Do you know where can I get it?

Do we need to make a full wipe from 5.1.1?

It's not out yet( https://xpericheck.com/device/D6603 ), so no.

[Xperia Z3 General] slim207rc:
I just can't believe it. It gets worse every model I upgrade. Starting from the Xperia x10 I have never seen an update to roll out where the next version is already out as beta build for that same model.

Since a week a developer version from Sony of android N has been released. How ridiculous is this

---------- Post added at 09:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 PM ----------

I would certainly flash if I had a pc or a laptop to be able to.

I wish Sony devs could find a way like Samsung devs to root the device via app and flash firmware all just using the phone instead of needing a pc or laptop for it

Anyone has issue with LTE? Since I have MM (tried the Ukrain and now the Nordic) I have no or hardly no mobile data. See also:

https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xper...n-new-update-Marshmallow/m-p/1116261#U1116261

Also with the US FTF on a Z3 Compact of my son, same issues.
[Xperia Z3 General] lunkwell:
Had a similar issue.

Go to Preferences -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names.

Do you see any APNs there.

For me I had to download the APN for my provider when I got wireless access.

After that I had no issues.
[Xperia Z3 General] olafd72:
Did not work for me on my D6603(Z3) and the Ukrain FTF. Then I flashed with the Nordic Generic and tried it again. First no luck, but now it seems to work. On the Z3 Compact with the US version, it doesn't. There is connection and Whatsapp messages are coming true, but the rest doesnt work or is really slow.

UPDATE: I think I was too fast. Also on my Z3(6603) still no or real bad 4G. What version do you have and are you in NL?
[Xperia Z3 General] lunkwell:
I flashed a custom build of D6603_23.5.A.0.570_Customized_US_1288-7827. I'm in IE using Vodafone network.

[Xperia Z3 General] MaliBooCRO:
Can't believe Im the only guy who can't update. When it reboots after installation it just says "Could not install". I tried three times.

The hell is going on???
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
Are you rooted? Unlocked bootloader? Modified system in any way?
[Xperia Z3 General] MaliBooCRO:
Not really, I had kingroot but i already removed it and root checker says im not rooted anymore. Other than that, nothing.
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
Root checker can say you are not rooted anymore, however update engine detected changes in system partition and will not allow upgrade. It is supported from clean system only. You would need to reflash your system.
[Xperia Z3 General] chepeliyas:
Hey, where did you get the Nordic Generic version for The 6603? Is it pre-rooted?
[Xperia Z3 General] lu99ke:
Yeah Kingroot does change some system level files.... As poster above said... You will have a flash a full clean image...

Hey guys. What's your experiences from when a software is released, until it comes via ota? I've got the 1293-0922 customized DE version. Released 4 hours ago. No notifications via ota yet. So I'm curious

Back in the days I was more active, it took almost 3 months until the ota version was released, that why I'm asking.. Maybe things have changed lol
[Xperia Z3 General] AlvinZahran98:
The multitasking is very bad on Marshmallow.. I'm disappointed.
[Xperia Z3 General] Licaon_Kter:
If you don't have root, just get the FTF and flash it from a PC and be done.

If you have root, you won't ever get an OTA ;)
[Xperia Z3 General] slim207rc:
Lol, I've already mentioned a few times that I don't have the possibility to flash without a pc or laptop ;) that's the reason I'm asking about experiences on ota availability ��

I'm also pretty familiar about root status and ota as an ex dev. ;) just dropped out of the business, that's all^^

[Xperia Z3 General] JorgeVarandas:
Hi guys!

I dont know but im having a big issue here..

I have a Sony Xperia Z3 D6603 recently updated from Lollipop to Marshmallow 6.0.1

-Before the update:

.SD Card was detected and working (All data available, going to Storage in settings shows the SD Card to be present).

-After the update:

.SD card not detected (When used in another device such as PC and other Androids, it is functional. Also, Storage option in Settings does not show the SD Card, only shows the Internal Memory)

i dont know what to do..
[Xperia Z3 General] slim207rc:
The "without" was determined on my state of belongings ;)

True, never hurts ^^
[Xperia Z3 General] chepeliyas:
Perfect, thanks.
[Xperia Z3 General] :
Waiting for the D6653 release
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
This update is OFFICIAL commercial release, NOT beta anymore. It is first released with customization numbers:

1290-6857 Generic LAM - Latin America markets

1288-4387 MENA Arabic - Middle East and North Africa markets

1288-9875 Russia

1289-8256 Ukraine

1288-7827 USA

As for rooting, use the same steps as for rooting .570 BETA, because simply flashing SuperSU and XZDualRecovery does NOT work.

Also, if you want to make it prerooted, you will need to include all necessary ZIPs from BETA thread in order to root it, NOT only SuperSU.

XZDualRecovery does NOT work at all for this firmware, you need to wait for new release from [MENTION=4904057][NUT][/MENTION] or look in .570 ROOT thread or BETA thread for alternative TWRP developed closely by [MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION] [MENTION=4675598]shoey63[/MENTION] and other guys (sorry if forgot to mention anybody....)

Also [MENTION=2822871]Wolfbreak[/MENTION] has made his custom ROM from this update, it will have root and recovery already working

[Xperia Z3 General] diyar95:
What do you mean can i if you know the answer?
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
I mean that you should ask in Z2 forums, a this forum is for Z3... you should ask people who have Z2 if the firmwares are interchangeable. Most probably yes, becuase it seems that D6502 is same as D6503 with just missing LTE support...

If so, that means the theme is not optimized for Android 6.0.

Ive updated to marshmallow but im not seeing the option to format my sd card to internal storage. Is this something sony decided to leave out?
[Xperia Z3 General] kansasboy001:
The status bar is black because that's how Sony intended it to be in the theme. The theme packages have been rewrote for 6.0 as their min api level is 23
[Xperia Z3 General] Marília de Oliveira:
Well here I did everything correctly and it worked.

1 - I created a pre root with super su mm

2 - I made full wipe and installed the pre root

3 - installed RIC, Xposed and byeselinux

4 - I hung up and spent the firmware via FlashTool checking the box system

5 - reboot

called now, I'm Xposed, root and just installed the recovery more before that I installed busybox.

all working :good:
[Xperia Z3 General] Nojus33:
Does it matter which region firmware should I flash? What's the difference?
[Xperia Z3 General] slim207rc:
I am so damn furious about pc companion. I lent myself a laptop for 3 hours, thinking that would be enough to update the phone with a 400MB/s WiFi connection.

No way, after 2.5 hours it was still by 5%.

What the is wrong with Sony???? Never seen an update take so ridiculously long.

Been with Sony for years but all these problems with updates and so on made me change.

LG update took 15 min, even Samsung took 12min. Man how crazy is this.

Despite the ota update being available weeks or months later.

This is just so disappointing and imbarassing! This should not be happening. Sony still needs to learn a lot.

And I thought, after all these years, that Sony finally understood.

No way, still all these things making consumers furious, nothing works as it should, updates released way late and they are not even good. Best features get left out, updates take forever to download. Last Sony device I have ever bought.

So expensive and still haven't got this fixed. So imbarassing!
[Xperia Z3 General] Bonfaina:
Agree, why half year for updating an ALMOST STOCK Android? ****With bugs****
[Xperia Z3 General] kioshi:
I recommend Sony repair or when you flash the ftf file from flashtool, wipe data and start fresh. My SD card is detected and I can see storage on phone.

Please try that. No bug about SD card not appearing on MM.

Cheers.
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
Nobody holds you back to go and buy Samsung or Xiaomi if it makes you fancy. This forum is about firmware and app development. If you are not happy with how Sony proceeds, why do you cry here? Write to Sony, go to their shop, write in Sony support forums. Your cries here are pointless and useless. Your contribution zero. Maybe you should really go buy different phone. Less user like you here makes the forum here cleaner and more contributing toward the developers community..

Hey big cheeks. Ive been here on xda before you knew how to spell it.

I let my grief off here because I know, because I used to be there myself, that Sony dev department read this!

Sure, you can write Sony, but it will not go through to the devs if you had a little knowledge about those terms ;)

It's no crying giving off a statement that actually reaches its target so what you are saying about pointlessness, actually shows me that you're clueless. But thanks for showing how much you understand here XD

It's actually the complaints here that Sony picks up.. Also on the Sony dev blog ( but there only partially).

So please don't make statements without knowing the background. Thanks ;)
[Xperia Z3 General] Chocozell:
What do you think about this update?

I'm on 5.1.1 and I can update via OTA.
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
I usually do not make comparisons, but anyone can clearly see, that you may have had been here since ever (July 2012) but your thanks count is at 109. I am here since January last year, and it counts at 1157.. I know it may seem childish or even like two guys arguing on who's got bigger, but at the other hand it shows, who here contributes more, and who not only more or less consumes, but at the end just spits around.

If you would read or at least know about my posts on background of Concept and other development, you would realize, that I am more than aware of what is going on in background. Way behind your imagination of how and which forums are getting attention ... Moreover, your complaints are more to be addressed to business decisions makers, because as of speed and periodicity of updates, it is not decided for in development department...

And again, it is not about what you know, but what you are willing to share, and not just spitting out your frustration. I can imagine Sony working way better, but I am far from writing such a bulcra* you did two posts ago.

Just to remind you again, this site is NOT about jerking off to relieve your stress from software updates. If you have nothing constructive to say towards ongoing Android M deployment, rooting, developing custom firmware based on it, than it is better to just shut up and stop making a clown of yourself.

---------- Post added at 00:15 ---------- Previous post was at 00:13 ----------

Honestly, if you are happy on Lollipop and not looking for experiments, stay on Lollipop. Update to M doesn't bring extraordinarily features you wouldn't survive without. I would wait for second release, with Stamina and other enhancements, and some bugs solved.
[Xperia Z3 General] HellRoot:
Worked in few minutes for me. On a 50/50 Mbit internet connection.

But 400mbit WiFi connection does not mean anything if your Internet connection is 0,5... But i guess you mean that the Internet line is 400.

Easier to update ota I guess.
[Xperia Z3 General] realfelix:
The update is good so far. (Customized DE)

But one thing that has driven me crazy and one thing that still drives me crazy:

- Multitasking is really bad. It's actually kind of weird because sometimes you can just flick around your apps from any other app like Facebook, Chrome etc. And then sometimes the system just closes down all your recently used apps and has to reload them as soon as you need them or want to use them. This is now even more remarkable because the animations are just really fast. So it seems the phone is lagging but its just loading the app. Anyone can confirm who has started off fresh? Because I didn't, that may be the cause aswell.

- In Settings > Apps > Disabled it wouldn't show the apps I disabled earlier on Lollipop like Google+ or Xperia Lounge. Funny thing about this is that I went to Play Store, tried to install Google+(yes it showed me the "Install" button), the update just fails. I had to go to All Apps including system apps to locate Google+ and Xperia Lounge to DISABLE them again ( they were enabled but not shown in the appdrawer neither google play store told me that they were installed). As soon as i disabled them again they appeared in the "Disabled" list.

Anything else except the above, the update is good.

Unfortunately Sony uses quite aggressive settings for Low Memory Killer in MM. The only way is to be rooted and either modify it by script, or just easily use for example Kernel Adiutor or other kernel manager and set memory killer to more relaxed settings..

But you know what, I really do not have the time or can be bothered to discuss that with you. Sorry but who are you telling me what I can talk about and what not!?
