why dont you just disable spotify if you dont need it?

and does it really make difference that lte icon over 4g or whatever?

and because of one app you switched back to marshmallow?

i am using russian firmware, there is no spotify app preinstalled, but i dont know about lte icon since there is no 4g for now in my country.
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
I think you want to use CRACKED Spotify APK :) Just install another phone and clone the spotify apk with luck patcher. Another solution, decompress with apktool edit AndroidManifest.xml, then compile and sign again..
[Xperia Z5 General] swooc:
^yep. thats exactly the reason. didn't want to mention it because i vaguely remember not being allowed to talk about cracked apps on here. your solution sounds a little too advanced for me haha. luck patcher needs root i think? which i don't want to do. and if i did, i might as well just uninstall it. but if i can clone without root, i'll face another hurdle. that is, i need to install spotify via adb command prompt to have it working on android auto. as for the decompress solution, you mean i can break down the .ftf, edit the androidmanifest.xml to remove the installation of system spotify, and recompile to create a spotify free .ftf?

as for the lte icon vs 4g icon, i just prefer the lte icon. and downgrading for 1 just app is well worth it for me, since that app is heavily used on my end. will try the russian build when i have some spare time. thanks.

edit: just downloaded the russian build. anyone else can confirm spotify isn't a system app on the russian nougat? hesistant to test it out because it's a pia to backup and restore things on my phone. i'm quite certain russia uses the 4g icon, but i can live with that.

[Xperia Z5 General] DeathStroke:
A good news.

Sony Mobileâ€™s Concept team is ambitiously targeting to be the first manufacturer outside of Google to release Android 7.1.1 Nougat. This latest update adds a number of features including a restart option in the power menu (at long last) and the image keyboard for supported apps.

Sonyâ€™s dev team said that â€œthis is our (the Concept teams) number 1 priorityâ€ and that â€œif you spot any other vendor (excluding Google) releasing this faster than us, prepare your rotten tomatoes!â€

The Xperia Concept developer team currently has the source code and is waiting for the application suite (GMS apps) and the Compatibility Test Suite (CTS) from Google. There is no firm timeline on when Xperia X users running Concept firmware will see the latest Android 7.1.1 release, but weâ€™ll keep you posted as soon as it is out. We hope that this ambition from the Concept team means that weâ€™ll see a quick update on standard Xperia firmware too.

Well it's still version 32. Ifiremember correctly it should go 33 because of nougat but we'll it did change from 32.2 to 33.3 I still think it is a mashmallow update
[Xperia Z5 General] furkandeger:
Lollipop was 32.0. The new update being 32.3 doesn't give us any clue on its base version.
[Xperia Z5 General] ciprianmp:
The Turkish URL adress says Nougat though...

[Xperia Z5 General] furkandeger:
I know. It's just that [MENTION=5263552]Hnnryyb[/MENTION] seems to think it's another marshmallow update because the version number went from 32.2 to 32.3 and not 33.x. There is no reason to assume that because lollipop and marshmallow were both 32.x.
[Xperia Z5 General] ciprianmp:
I agree with you. My reply was for both actually. :)

[Xperia Z5 General] Chesteryuan:
33.x is the version number of xperia XA.I think it shoud be Nougat update,because X compact‘s nougat update changed the version number from 34.1 to 34.2.

Just as a safety measure, if you are planning to flash Android 7.0 via flashtool, then update it to latest version 0.9.23.0 to avoid brick if haven't done already as it's the only version which support Android 7.x.x

[Xperia Z5 General] Mahdian57:
I think focusing inCam app Gone! no sound and no properly focus on subjects, is there anyone have this problem?
[Xperia Z5 General] ross23:
I just updated to the latest Nougat update. So far the OS seems snappy and transitions are pretty quick.

However, has anyone done a "fresh" install of the OS? Im thinking of using the software repair tool in the Xperia Companion app to do a clean install of the OS on my phone and then just restore from a backup.

Any recommendations?
[Xperia Z5 General] Kratellismorru:
A Bit disappointed on the update, well, just because of this minor UI problem (maybe a personal preference, see screenshots below).

I'm talking about the volume expander control, the left is the original screenshot, but I was hoping Sony could have done the right image
[Xperia Z5 General] phoe zay:
Please upload ftf file for e6653 from another link thanks ?
[Xperia Z5 General] Zaisesl:
Download via XperiFirm. I downloades from PH(Philipinnes) Cause it has LTE indicator indeed 4G
[Xperia Z5 General] P.Fan:
The fingerprint sensor seems much faster, it unlocks almost immediately after i press the power button, only problem is that some times it fails to unlock, lifting my finger up and putting it on the power button again fix the problem 90% of the time, still really annoying
[Xperia Z5 General] P.Fan:
That's weird, it's fine here, try adjusting your display size to something else then back to default
[Xperia Z5 General] strykr192:
Can I force this update to my phone.

I have a non-unlockable bootloader so I can root or install custom firmware:(

But curious if I could flash the stock updates that are available?
[Xperia Z5 General] Princesa Celestia:
Xperia companion give you the update. I dont speak english, so I hope I have contributed.
[Xperia Z5 General] Kratellismorru:
Hmm, I guess that's the one that fixed mine last night , Sony's update bugs I guess, thanks!
[Xperia Z5 General] strykr192:
It says mine is up to date, but I'm still on 6.1.1
[Xperia Z5 General] strykr192:
Well I managed to update using flashtool to force upload the new firmware and it worked. I'm now running 7.0 :D
[Xperia Z5 General] arceusxcv:
Is it possible to do OTA update from lollipop and preserving the root and drm fix? I have unlocked bl
[Xperia Z5 General] Duvel999:
No, you brick your phone
[Xperia Z5 General] ImS0Raw:
To be precise, soft-brick, because you can still recover your phone with for example flashtool.
[Xperia Z5 General] chitose_ndy:
Any news when are they going to release the update again?

[Xperia Z5 General] milanelo:
They are still working on it, there is no specific date for the second roll out of the update.
[Xperia Z5 General] kimocoder:
I think this is kinda weird.. I'm running Nougat without any noticeable problems.. none of the problems mentioned anyways ^^, to obtain root, reboot it to bootloader (adb reboot-bootloader), then "fastboot boot twrp.img" .. you can always flash it to recovery to, but without a kernel modification (like AndroPlus kernel) you wont get the light to enter recovery anyways. when booted directly to twrp, run SuperSu v2.79 SR1 (newest with Nougat fixes) and it patches the boot :)
[Xperia Z5 General] spaha-bih:
Only problem which I noticed so far is quieter sound, it˙s annoying really.
[Xperia Z5 General] ricodredd:
Don't sound so surprised - that's one of the reasons the update was pulled. :confused:

Another day without info regarding the ****ed-up 7.0 update. Pretty disappointing, i've been a fan since the old Sony Ericsson days and i've had most of their flagship devices but this phone will be my last one.
[Xperia Z5 General] TheTecXpert:
I feel the same in a way.. When i stream videos from my pc on my phone, quiet often the video just crashes to the last menu i was at before launching the video. I dunno if its a codec issue or what. But it pisses me right off that i can barely stream my tv shows over my lan on my phone be because of ****ty WiFi stability.. No other device does it but the z5.

---------- Post added at 11:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 PM ----------

It never had that problem on lollipop.. But on 6.0 and 7.0 its horrible. The wifi just "goes in to halt mode" (no upstream or downstream data packets). Then kicks back in (resume data flow) anywhere after 30 seconds, or 2 minutes. Or until turn my wifi off then back on.. Piece of crap these last 2 major OS firmwares
[Xperia Z5 General] stipi69:
Does nougat update effects in annyway External sd cards or they behave or are mounted same as in MM?
[Xperia Z5 General] tottelicious:
Well... The HTC10 Nougat update is flawed aswell and have been pulled. So it's just not Sony... However I'm also wondering how the hell it can take so many months from Nougat release to have a model specific launch.
[Xperia Z5 General] milanelo:
Who the **** talks about HTC, i don't care about their update schedule, i care about the fact that Sony had 6 ****ing months to release a stable 7.0 version (not 7.1.1) and they ****ed up badly.
[Xperia Z5 General] spaha-bih:
and still after nine days, nothing. I hope we will get by the end of the next week, otherwise, i have to roll back to marshmallow, volume is low comparing to the marshmallow and this is very noticable.
[Xperia Z5 General] FYLin21:
Well the build 32.3.A.0.372 was posted on the open source archive yesterday, so we might be getting closer...

Now the question is, will those variants who didn't get 32.2.A.5.11 or even 32.2.A.0.305 skip them? I mean, Customized TH just got .11 last week and Customized SG got .305... Mine is Customized TW and it's still on .305...
[Xperia Z5 General] vasantv:
I am using customized SG now. I think they will directly go to 7.0 with other regions.
[Xperia Z5 General] FYLin21:
I hope they do but it might increase the risk of bugs which they are trying to fix now.

And there goes another "What's New" update -_-

Wow, what a way to treat your loyal fans, Sony! Not a word on the ****.ed-up 7.0 update for the Z5 family, cause, you know, the XZ is now the flagship and they are concentrated on pushing every security update to the newer phones. I'm definitely done with this company.
[Xperia Z5 General] spaha-bih:
Well lately my phone went kinda crazy.

Yesterday i had to restart couple of times to restart the device.

First, it didnt wanted to open videos in the web browser, then yt didnt want to open videos too, then freezing and the last the camera just didtn work.

Also I have battery drain now from phone idle.

I dont know what to say for this, obviously sony didnt finish this build properly.

What is the reason for this, i dont know, i know only that they had enough time. For the love of God, this is not the touchwiz or lg, or some other heavily customized android.

Also, this phones camera just sucks at low light situations and this is the fact.

Eventhoug it has the same sensor just like x perfomance and xz.

I like this phone very much, but coming from lumia 1020, i really miss the camera from that lumia.

I am very dissapointed with this phone.

Also I had to sent my phone to the sony to fix my power button, it becomes almost useless, power button becomes soft and you had to really press hard the button in order to unlock the device, luckily the finger print sensor was ok. And month after this, power button is still becoming soft and i think later i will have to send again to sony to replace power button.

Maybe I am over reacting because I am pissed, but still, this is my personal experience with this phone.

I dont want to roll back to MM, because phone works much cooler with the nougat, also multiscreen is important to me, as well as the 'new' status bar. You dont have to pull down at least three times to get the shortcuts.
[Xperia Z5 General] ciprianmp:
About your power button: why don't you change your habits and use the two touch feature to wake up your phone? I guess your abusing that power button somehow.

How is the roll down menu in Nougat different/shorter? Using 3 fingers or something?

Xperia Z5 E6653 w/ Tapatalk
[Xperia Z5 General] spaha-bih:
Because phone keeps unlocking in my pocket, this is the worst double tap to wake a have ever used, also i got lg g2 for a short time while my z5 is getting fixed, dt2w was working perfectly, i think it used the sensor for unlocking, so if the sensor is covered with something, you could not unlock the device.

There is difference, i am using my phone most of the time with one hand. Go to app drawer i try to get to the shourtcuts, count me how many times you have to pull down status bar.

I dont blame sony for this, this is googles fault, from lollipop to mm, also sony used to have their own skin of the notifiacation bar, but still i am okay for having much cleaner system or a la vanilla android.
[Xperia Z5 General] ciprianmp:
Mine never unlocked in "my pocket"... Sorry to hear you've had such a hard time.

Xperia Z5 E6653 w/ Tapatalk
[Xperia Z5 General] farrokh19:
I didn't understand if dt2w in Z5 use the proximity or the luminosity sensor. Because if i put the phone in jeans pocket with the screen on the leg I have no problems, instead if i put the phone with the screen towards outside, in contact with jeans fabric, I find it with the screen on. In the pocket of the jacket I have no problem at all ... probably because it's darker :confused::confused:
[Xperia Z5 General] spaha-bih:
Only what is for sure it does not use the proximity sensor.

probably the display can recognize jeans fabric somehow just like the finger, and that is why the phone unlocks itself in the pocket. i have no idea why sony dont wanna to fix this. this is not something new. When I had LG g2 for a short period of time, d2tw was working flawlessly.

Also,for battery estimated time is now higher than when I first flash.

I flash with flashtool and do wipe of everything include SSD.
[Xperia Z5 General] ross23:
I am having similar issues, sometimes videos don't play, even on Instagram, so I need to restart the phone to get them to work.

But the biggest gripe i have with this phone is that I am noticing large battery drain for phone idle. Its weird because the new doze should work better than it did on MM. But on N it looks like it isn't working.

And i don't like how my alarm and ringtone volume go "quieter" after a ring or 2.

Hopefully Sony really fix these bugs in the revised Nougat update, this is why I am happy to wait.
[Xperia Z5 General] Jeffrey04:
erm, fixing bug, AND testing if it works properly takes time :(

if the xperia team releases it early without making sure they don't screw it up second time, you are gonna complaint again anyway, aren't you?

also the bug introduced in the new nougat firmware is probably new, and unexpected, so they had to stop the rollout
[Xperia Z5 General] milanelo:

I just can't understand that here in Xda one man can build for Z5 7.1.1 rom like lineage, but Sony can't release even 7.0 . Something wrong here.

[Xperia Z5 General] RyTekk:
There're changes in thermal-manager but it's related to camera, I don't know there's any change in sched or core hotplug module (msm_performance, core_ctl, battery_current_limit, blah blah), I'm using CPUQuiet so I'm not effected.

About GPU, it's not right, 305MHz at idle is just a wrong report, it's actually 27MHz.
[Xperia Z5 General] FYLin21:
Is 7.0 more prone to overheating when filming video? I never get overheating warnings but I do get some stuttering. However, it seems the stuttering isn't due to overheating but because I opened the camera using the camera button without unlocking the screen first.

Seems to be no more new locations getting updates today. A lot of places don't even have 32.2.A.5.11 so I'm not sure if they will roll that out first. Has anyone tried installing 7.0 coming from .305?
