23.5.A.1.151, when it will be released?

---------- Post added at 02:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:54 AM ----------

Are there some new features in 575 version update?
[Xperia Z3 General] brenosabino:
is the adb trick for enabling adoptable storage working on .575?
[Xperia Z3 General] 2010matej:
Yes some small fixes, like noise reduction when you talk, before was calling sound bad... And some others.
[Xperia Z3 General] iqbalfauzal:
thanks mate, I thought the updates put the stamina mode back
[Xperia Z3 General] progosu:
is the ram management any better? after updating it to the android 6 I feel like I'm using some crappy samsung phone
[Xperia Z3 General] iqbalfauzal:
I think we're still stuck in that circumstances
[Xperia Z3 General] progosu:
is there any way we can let them know about that issue?
[Xperia Z3 General] iqbalfauzal:
Idk, I think they already know about that, even some other issues we didn't notice. so all we can do is wait ?
[Xperia Z3 General] progosu:
it took them 6 months to provide us the update and somehow they still managed to mess that up, I was waiting patiently because I tought that at least it's going to be done right. nope.
[Xperia Z3 General] chepeliyas:
Trying the 575 since last night and it feels better than the previous update (570) which I just simply hated because of the weak Wifi signal. Contacts lag has also improved and memory management feels the same. The only new problem I have so far is that I'm missing 1 GB of internal memory; I had 5.6 GB free while using Lollipop and now I have 4.6 Gb free and I already moved all the apps that can be moved to the SD card.

Any ideas of why I have 1 GB less than before?
[Xperia Z3 General] robogo1982:
Supposedly fixed in the latest beta.
[Xperia Z3 General] iqbalfauzal:
I'm excited about wifi signal, like I got 5x stronger signal, way better
[Xperia Z3 General] progosu:
if the ram management wasn't so awful, I'd be so happy, yesterday I had almost 8 hours SOT with LTE
[Xperia Z3 General] cammyhorne:
anyone have a problem since the update, when making a call the screen goes blank, unable to hang up call/access the phone duing a call? so annoying
[Xperia Z3 General] iqbalfauzal:
Any chance the front censor is covered with something?

[Xperia Z3 General] cammyhorne:
Hi,

i dont have a screen protector on my phone, its only been since the Marshmallow update

Thanks
[Xperia Z3 General] mb011:
Being a non heavy user, I have to say that latest version works fine for me. No major issues, or freezes. Not sure what ram management problem is, to be honest... But everything works pretty smoothly. Guess the version 575 was really supposed to be the official mm, but that they rushed things a bit thinking that the beta was stable enough.

Also for 3 days there are no releases to any regions, and some even didn't get the 570 version...

Maybe you have an iPhone??? ;)
[Xperia Z3 General] Faizan7535:
I am running the 575 build its the first update i got after buying the phone. Everything was working perfectly before but now the wifi and auto sync keep turning off itself. Anyone facing same issue? I am running everything stock. Never rooted or anything.
[Xperia Z3 General] iqbalfauzal:
Nope, this update works perfectly, away from ram management
[Xperia Z3 General] bodomfan:
Works very well just has terrible battery life,miss stamina mode
[Xperia Z3 General] iqbalfauzal:
No need to worry, they'll come soon ?
[Xperia Z3 General] bodomfan:
I'm in the UK so may be waiting a while :eek:
[Xperia Z3 General] Licaon_Kter:
Until then: Xposed + Power Nap might help ;)
[Xperia Z3 General] bodomfan:
I'm on stock marshmallow not rooted
[Xperia Z3 General] napinaczkamil:
Today T Mobile PL Has receive update to MM, but CE region still working on lollipop ;//
[Xperia Z3 General] zoomee:
anyone any joy with UK unbranded handsets yet?

My colleague just got his update for his O2 branded set just now.

Sod's law - The first time I buy an unbranded handset outright expecting to get the updates quickest and Sony go screw us over and leave us till last. Pfffft
[Xperia Z3 General] warface:
Did mine yesterday via Xperia Companion.

Unbranded UK 3.

it's very nice. No problems so far. WiFi is SO much better. I'd go as far as to say it's one of Sonys better releases, and I've had an Xperia since the Arc S!
[Xperia Z3 General] zoomee:
Thanks Warface - did you get the handset with your 3 contract or was it purchased outright?

I got mine from Carphone warehouse back when the messed the price up at launch - still no sign of the update though :'(
[Xperia Z3 General] mtbgus:
Seriously getting fed up with the unbranded uk release now. :-/ Always had unbranded phones and never had to wait until last to get an update (after networks get them). Disgraceful behaviour from Sony.
[Xperia Z3 General] Licaon_Kter:
What's that special feature you want that is not available on all the other 3 dozens releases ( https://xpericheck.com/device/D6603 ) ?
[Xperia Z3 General] chepeliyas:
Anyone knows why 1 gb of internal memory gets lost after the update to 575? I didn't have this issue when I updated to 570.
[Xperia Z3 General] maniak chile:
That the difference between r2d-r3d-r7d?
[Xperia Z3 General] Licaon_Kter:
Afaik, it does not matter, related to the regional/telco version.
[Xperia Z3 General] warface:
Purchased from third party online retailer, totally unlocked and unbranded.
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
What do you mean by "lost"?After two day of use my phone has of total 2,7GB still 1,4GB declared free.
[Xperia Z3 General] Licaon_Kter:
Maybe s/he means after the update the free space got smaller.
[Xperia Z3 General] okij:
If you are rooted, you can use a tool like Kernel Adiutor to change the Low Memory Killer settings back to the ones of the last Lollipop version (.264). They were set to 48MB, 60MB, 72 MB, 84MB, 96MB and 120MB. Works fine on my Z3c. :)
[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
Can anyone who uses the Google Keyboard please see if they have problems with missing haptic feedback when they press the right edge of the keys on the right edge of the screen (P, L, Backspace) or the left edge of the Q, A nad Shift keys? Ie the keypresses work but there's no vibration.
[Xperia Z3 General] iqbalfauzal:
Thanks mate but I've got like hundred times did the rooting stuff on my old phone xperia ion, and probably rooting phone will just ruin the subsequent official update (cause I'm sure this z3 is still powerful enough to receive any further official updates). Regarding that, I still want to keep my phone "virgin" ?
[Xperia Z3 General] chepeliyas:
Exactly, before the update I had 5.6 GB of free memory available and after the update I got 4.6 GB of free memory available for no apparent reason.
[Xperia Z3 General] Ketzal:
Any word on Bluetooth connectivity, mine has been problematic since Marshmallow update? Hoping this update fixes it.
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
Of which memory? System or Data? I would guess that part of it would be the download of 575 itself, I don't know how big the update was, because I am rooted and update by directly flashing the system. So 575 download, then unpacked temporary files somewhere ... hard to tell on unrooted phone.
[Xperia Z3 General] chepeliyas:
Mine phone is rooted too and I flashed a prerooted file made by others. The memory that decreased was the internal data, which has 11.57 GB available to use of the 16 Gb total. Of that 11.57 GB available I used to have 5.6 gb free before the update and now I have 4.6 Gb free. I will flash the US prf to see what happens.
[Xperia Z3 General] bodomfan:
Battery life has improved after a few charge cycles on marshmallow so not that fussed on rooting or custom rom for the time being,just wish the volume was a little louder when listening to music, I'm on the 575 software version,so hoping the new one with stamina mode has even better battery life,all use on mobile 4g/3g data
[Xperia Z3 General] Alex Cronin:
Do I have to update to version 23.5.A.0.570 before I can update to 23.5.A.0.575?? I'm still on Lollipop and only version 23.5.A.0.570 is available to download
[Xperia Z3 General] bodomfan:
I got latest update by doing a software repair on pc companion :thumbup:

Be warned first few charge cycles give terrible battery life but it does improve
[Xperia Z3 General] Alex Cronin:
Cool thanks. Just didn't want to be stuck on 23.5.A0.570 with all its bugs.
[Xperia Z3 General] bodomfan:
Fair enough see my battery stats from yesterday, I got not far off seven hours something like 6 hours 45 mins
[Xperia Z3 General] spyhunter88:
Hi, I am on 570 rooted, removed some bloatware, xpose install with only Music to Walkman mod, and don't have any other system mod. Can I update OTA from notification? Or only flash an update ZIP without reinstall system? I really don't want to move to 575, I like another big update rather. But Notification still there, is there any way to disable this?

My purpose is just don't have to see the update notification :D

PS: my current rom install from a Customized US room via TWRP.
[Xperia Z3 General] maple_mak:
You can't update via OTA, the system update can detect the root.

The only way is flash via recovery, but it will removed your xposed.
[Xperia Z3 General] spyhunter88:
Thanks, reinstall xposed is easy part. But which flash I need to use? Everything I care is all app data (Contact, History, Message and some chat app).
[Xperia Z3 General] maple_mak:
Just flash this and reboot, no wipe required. But don't forget it's not include xposed.
[Xperia Z3 General] spyhunter88:
Yep, but I think it will keep cache. So if I install some other mod with wipe cache requirement, all app data will lose? :confused:
[Xperia Z3 General] maple_mak:
Won't
[Xperia Z3 General] aleoba14:
I live in Spain, still have the 5.1.1 lollipop, where can i download an ftf of marshmallow that works with my Orange ES D6603?
[Xperia Z3 General] maple_mak:
Just check here.
[Xperia Z3 General] aleoba14:
thanks man but orange hasn't updated yet to mm so wich ftf can i download?
[Xperia Z3 General] ultrapowerpie12:
Hey, so I'm new to the whoel flashing thing. Plus I've been reading that Sony is (finally) going to get Marshmallow out for the DD6616 (yes, silly American here)...

So do I download the FTF from here that says the "T-mobile America" one, and that will debrand it? I don't get the generic global once since that's a different model, right? Finally, should I just root/recover it with the flasher that was linked here? (I'm fine with that), and if so, where would I find a newer rom to flash for 6? (or do I have to wait). [I originally posted this part in the FTF generic threa]

Right now I haven't done anything to the phone, no bootloader, recovery or rooting.

Actually, I seem to be having some trouble with hte program. It says that my phone "bootloader" cannot be officially unlocked. Also, after a failed attempt to root the phone, it's gving me an "Error: Illegal key size or default perameters"

TL;DR: I just need some advice on which FTF to flash, or if I should wait for the "eventual" American update FTF to appear and flash to that. Anyone willing to help with te other problem is greatly appreciated, but the flashing is the big thing for me. Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 General] maple_mak:
Any version with named "Customized XXX", but I don't likely recommended to flash it because you may facing some issues.
[Xperia Z3 General] Rm4n:
I am on Orange Ro as well and used the Customized BE 575 without any problems. I'm using the concept version of MM but that has weaker WiFi performance.
[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
Why would he face any issues? Which issues?
[Xperia Z3 General] aleoba14:
Is there any International 6.0.1 - 575 ftf that I can download? In spain I think they Will update so late wich orange
[Xperia Z3 General] Licaon_Kter:
Get any "Customized XX".
[Xperia Z3 General] aleoba14:
can you provide me an link to the ftf file please? cause' i don't know how to make an ftf with the files from xperifirm

---------- Post added at 08:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 PM ----------

will that work with my orange Es z3?
[Xperia Z3 General] Licaon_Kter:
Get FlashTool, press XperiFirm button, select device, ROM version (Customize something .575), press on the right side on the .575 text, download, close, FlashTool should start to create a FTF.
[Xperia Z3 General] aleoba14:
i did that and installed the Customized US and I came back to Orange Es because without no intensive tasks, the us version was getting very hot, like 40º only using instagram so I don't know why
[Xperia Z3 General] technaudio:
Generic UK has always been one of the last to get updates.
[Xperia Z3 General] Z1 vn:
23.5.A.0.575.ftf D6603 one of their download links please !
[Xperia Z3 General] kioshi:
Download flash tool then xperifirm. All the ftf files I'll be on there for d6603 and other models.
[Xperia Z3 General] icemanzor:
any this version has not given problems in connecting the phone with your PC especially in win10, it's a problem when selecting the method of mtp transfer it hangs Windows Explorer and the phone gets super slow
[Xperia Z3 General] doomed151:
There's a workaround for that. If it happens, just pull down the status bar, tap the notification and reselect MTP. If Explorer still hangs, do it repeatedly until it works.
[Xperia Z3 General] kioshi:
That or you need to buy a new cable and plug into a different USB port. I know one of my USB port is wiggly with one of my cables, so it does that. Get a short cable for PC connection, works best.
[Xperia Z3 General] Torres77an:
So the official 6.0 update has arrived via OTA on my Z3 I'm happy on 5.1.1 so I'm hesitant to update I don't want to lose Stamina mode or any other feature for that matter so I'm curious to see what other people think of the firmware before I update ?
[Xperia Z3 General] HellRoot:
I get better battery life on MM without stamina... Go for it.
[Xperia Z3 General] Torres77an:
What about speaker volume is it the same ?
[Xperia Z3 General] bodomfan:
So did i, the first few charge cycles obviously the battery isn't that great but improves massively once settled
[Xperia Z3 General] Torres77an:
But doze is not customisable is it ? Stamina mode keeps me connected to the apps I need like eBay I have 6.1 on my Nexus 7 and though battery life is great it really wasn't that exciting of an update
[Xperia Z3 General] HellRoot:
Yeah..i guess... I have not noticed anything
[Xperia Z3 General] Licaon_Kter:
You can opt-out apps out of Doze.
[Xperia Z3 General] Torres77an:
So then it works the same as stamina mode hmm sounds alright
[Xperia Z3 General] TheAvengingTITAN:
However, Doze in marshmallow is only activated in a different way to stamina mode, there are no toggles for activation. So here's an extract from Android Authority which I think summarises it well.

"For Doze to kick in, your phone needs to be sitting still with the screen off, and not connected to a charger. That means no moving around and nudging the gyro or other motion sensors, no touching the screen or the buttons and no waving your hand around in front of it if you're using a phone like the new phones from Motorola?*that have motion detection on the front bezel. Set it down, and leave it alone.

After a while, everything goes to sleep. Well, almost everything. You'll still get notified when "high-priority" apps need your attention. That means things like phone calls or SMS messages can get through (and thus waking up your dozing phone) as well as any app that declares itself as high-priority. Other things, like email notifications or Clash of Clans telling you your gold mine has leveled up aren't going to come in and wake your phone up."
[Xperia Z3 General] Licaon_Kter:
Yes and no.

Yes in does some savings (see here: http://www.xda-developers.com/how-android-n-will-improve-battery-and-memory-management/ ) and yes in Android N it will get closer to Stamina, but it's not there yet.

Now, in the mean time

[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
Doze (and App Standby) protect battery life by keeping the phone/apps asleep subject to certain conditions (the phone isn't moving, the phone isn't charging, you're not using certain apps etc).

Stamina is more configurable and can save power in some situations not covered by Doze/App Standby. There's less need for Stamina now and the interface would need to be changed (it was confusing before with 2 or 3 different types; I never worked out what was going on with that mode for when you want to turn the screen on to check the time occasionally) so that it was clear that just because you whitelisted an app to not be subject to stamina it would still be subject to Doze/App Standby. Well, unless Stamina mode actually lessened the purpose of Doze/App Standby by waking up certain apps more often than Doze would allow, in which case it's not so much Stamina mode as Stimulant mode; perhaps Sony could get Google to brand Google N as Narcotic and have an option that burns through your battery in under 4 hours in an exciting frenzy.
[Xperia Z3 General] icemanzor:
My experience with MM after three weeks, I've decided to lolipop 5.1.1 since MM gave me a lot of problems with win10 and data transfer or talk to the application album remains hung to want to read images from the SD memory had to restart the phone, not to mention the gyroscope stopped working suddenly ultimately a total disaster seems a beta version, so you better hope it goes better version, lolipop is wonderful not give me any kind of error transfer and connection with the pc, this is my opinion of this firmware 6.0.1 if the other does well I think it's great but I did not help me at all, I think it is crap.
[Xperia Z3 General] Torres77an:
Yeah I'm not hearing enough good things about this update I think I'm going to skip it.
[Xperia Z3 General] Rm4n:
I had no problems with the .575 version.
[Xperia Z3 General] mb011:
After using the stock. 575 version for 10 days, I had no problems whatsoever. Works just as good as lollipop on my phone, only smoother, and with new mm features.

[Xperia Z3 General] Torres77an:
But with new features they always seem to take away old features I guess this phone is still quite new to me I had held on to my Xperia ZL for quite awhile simply cause of it's compact size cool notification light and soft touch grippy back but was never happy with it's camera and washed out display and battery life
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
The Doze is somewhat customizable, you can select which applications will be excluded from Doze (it is caleed Optimization in Power Menu/Battery overview). Anyway, if rooted, you can go on with Greenify. And I am very happy with Leandroid, that helps my battery running for real 2,5 days no problem.
[Xperia Z3 General] Torres77an:
I haven't been rooting my phone for awhile now since my telus Optik tv on the go app is able to detect if my phones rooted even with Root cloak so I've chosen live tv over having Root access for now.
[Xperia Z3 General] kioshi:
Seeing how the z5, z4, and z3+ are getting stamina mode update with RAM fixes officially, we'll soon be getting the update next week perhaps? Will the discussion continue here or in a new thread? ?
[Xperia Z3 General] Torres77an:
Should start fresh with a new thread but we might have to wait just a bit longer for that update I don't know but it's just what I expect.
[Xperia Z3 General] Webern:
Just a bit longer? This is Sony we're talking about!
[Xperia Z3 General] mirkovicbane:
What if I flash brended FTF file to my unlocked phone , will it be locked to carier or stay unlocked ?
[Xperia Z3 General] Mobe1969:
I got the update today (automatically). Got to say I think I might downgrade. If anyone can help on a couple of issues I've been googling and trying to sort all morning with the standard XPeria launcher

1. The home screen doesn't rotate to landscape anymore, even in a dock. Which is rubbish

2. The App Tray button on the home screen now has an annoying text label "Apps" underneath it, irrespective of theme you are using
[Xperia Z3 General] kioshi:
I think we'd have to wait about a week. If I recall, the first MM update rolled out to Z5, then to Z3+, and then 3rd week a few regions started to get the update on the Z3 D6603. Mid June we should be getting it with the app to sd feature as well.

I just want the ram management fixed and stamina mode back because I have poor reception where i relocated and would love stamina mode on top of doze to give me battery life vs charging after 9 hours of usage after work.
[Xperia Z3 General] AlvinZahran98:
You can disable that "apps" text on home settings..
[Xperia Z3 General] Mobe1969:
Ah thanks for that!

I'm still trying to sort on the rotate in dock. From what I'm finding I need another launcher like Nova for that. I've tried giving that a go too.
[Xperia Z3 General] kioshi:
Go Nova brother. I've been using Nova launcher since the Nexus 4 days and I've tried Apex launcher and others on Galaxy Nexus and I finally settled for Nova...no regrets. Nova for the next phone as well. Too good and smooth.
[Xperia Z3 General] yasockie:
Still waiting for d6633 rollout :(
[Xperia Z3 General] dracsirk:
Me too - stuck on Lollipop ;-(
[Xperia Z3 General] ondrejvaroscak:
No, branded firmware has just some customizations in carrier specific configuration and some specific apps, but it does not lock anything.
[Xperia Z3 General] mirkovicbane:
Ok , because for my country , MM is relised but for carier version , so I wanted to flash it , but I wasn't sure will this lock my phone to that carier
[Xperia Z3 General] Mobe1969:
Yes, Nova isn't bad. I can do most of what I want with it. Just a bit of getting used to it. I do prefer the actual apps screen on the XPeria launcher though, how you can manually arrange all the icons, put them in folders etc, which I think may be available in some form in the paid version of nova.

I just wish they hadn't broken the stock Xperia launcher dock rotation.
[Xperia Z3 General] browngeek:
Slightly frustrating, yes, esp as in some regions MM has been rolled out for the dual. At this rate, some duals will be getting MM while other z3 ranges are getting N.
[Xperia Z3 General] Licaon_Kter:

[Xperia Z3 General] doomed151:
That is the Z3v so no, I don't think you can.
[Xperia Z3 General] Torres77an:
Give it a try I think it might work but there might be issues with your apns though I know I could never get 4G on my ZL with a certain firmware I was only able to get 3G or LTE
[Xperia Z3 General] dracsirk:

Hi folks, today i received an update to Xperia companion PC software. Does that also mean, there is a new update (marshamallow) available? i dont know as i am still at concept rom.

Appreciate if someone tries to connect and check for firmware update with this new update of xperia companion.

Thanks. :)
[Xperia Z3 General] realfelix:
No, that doesn't mean anything concerning a new FW update for your phone. It could also be just a minor update to fix stability issues or some kind of bug for the Xperia Companion software.
[Xperia Z3 General] mb011:
I remember back when I had Xperia M2, and we were waiting for lollipop update. Sony first said it won't get it, then later on changed that, after a massive outrage on social networks and Internet. Then the wait started, and even though it looked hopeless, the update did come out, so all you guys need is a little patience, Sony will deliver.
