So my Z2 arrives tomorrow. I should stay on .55 fw or upgrade to .69?
I ask this because i heard .69 suffers from battery draining.
I run 69 for few weeks, works great.

I find 69 drains battery faster and phone gets hotter now, never did before.

Wait for the new 17.1.1.A.0.402 update then
Should be releasing soon.

I will.
BTW the phone is amazing
FWIW, the auto brightness setting appears to be brighter/better on .69, although maybe it's just my imagination.
You could always make a ftf copy of .55 then upgrade to 69. If you don't like it downgrade
heres a link to instructions for Tabz pretty sure its no different for z2.

When I bought the device i upgraded to .69. Everything was ok until today. It seems today began the dreaded battery drain. Is there any way to avoid it or will I have to wait for it until the next update? I know I can go back to the .55, but I do not know if it would be the case.
I do not know if it's just my impression or is it really happening. It may even be in different conditions I am submitting the device, such as poor network, etc..

Hi guys,
Today i have got a new firmware for my X10 mini.
it is 1.1.A.0.8
Lets hope it fixes the battery issue......
Just run PC companion and let it update.
Took very less time
BTW, will installing Helix launcher increase battery life?

battery backup ?????
what about battery performance? is it better?
It seems better on mine, but that's obviously not a scientific test, just a "feeling"
6 hours since unplugged, including half an hour browsing with wifi, and an hour of music playing, the rest of the time the screen off, but checking email every hour over 3g, and the battery is at 78%
^^I kept it idle for 11hrs and battery went down to 89%..
That was over night and it was at 98% earlier.......
Used it alot that day(2-3Hrs music + 1hr video + 15 min calls) and by n8 at 8 it was at 33%......
I felt it ok..
No update available for my region. :S
Ok.
Now i found out one more thing.....
Never let the battery run down completely....
If you do so then your battery life decreases.
Also don't frequently switch off and on the handset.
DO so only once a week or so

i tried PC Companion Software update but response was: "you have latest software" I wanted to go on updating anyway via the Repair option but got scared - so im still in stock v1.6. anybody tried forcing update using repair . . .
Got an OTA update available message on handset. PC Companion doest report any updates Currently charging the phone over 60% once done, will do OTA update and would revert back with details
Build update, not Android update

The update is not an update to Android 2.1, sp you will still have version 1.6 of Android. The update to android 2.1 is now announced in Q3.
The update here is an new build, 1.1.A.0.8. I got my yesterday (Norway).
I updated this "by the air". No problems
Apart from the name (1.6 donut) your x10 mini already has most (if not all) of the features from eclair.
Unless it includes some type of support for Adobe Flash (which is unlikely given the hardware) I won't even bother with 2.1.
How hard is it to put flash lite 4 on a friggin phone.
As of now, nothing for my Xperia S DE version.
I've just updated mine to .75. Don't know the difference yet. Anyone know what does this update do?

It's a placebo released to calm down people eager waiting for ICS, e.g., riot prevention measure.
What about touch buttons sensitivity in .75 cause in .76 it's better than .73

Well, it just tells me that ICS won't come that "soon"
that's becouse they promised an update for XP-S by end of May.
<IRONIC MODE>
Old Version (.73)
Code:
for (int i=1; i<cycle; i++)
New Version (.75)
Code:
for (int i=1; i<cycle; i+=1)
Exotic Version (.76)
Code:
TouchButtons.Sensitivity += 10;

the only way is to flash .76 ftf with flashtool...
you can find it in development section.
Only difference I've noticed is a strange new popup for missed calls!
I tried to grab a screen shot but it disappeared too quickly..
No change in button sensitivity for me on .75
Edit:
Managed to grab a shot:
New pop-up for missed calls?? Mm interesting!
Could anybody confirm that?

Sorry, that's to do with me installing Any.DO just after the update.. My bad..
SEUS (or should I say SUS now?) is installing something on my phone right now. Don't know if the program was confused, but it's installing something. Was at .73 fw, French (I assume, based on the pre installed apps on it). Will edit as soon as the phone reboots.
EDIT: .75 fw installed. French FW. Up and running.

It could maybe improve battery life, maybe they fixed some things regarding to wifi, because wifi was draining the battery extremely..
But probably the update has some minor fixes or changes

I posted on the sony forum lets see what sort of reply do we get about the details
http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/38902?tstart=0
How come some people get .75 and others get .76?
Is this only different for other regions or will there be both CE1 .75 and .76 for example?
PCC just showed that I can update to .75, I'm running CE1, previously Austria A1.
Anyone can check what happens with this new release if you have the phone connected to the PC and then shutdown/hibernate the PC and the USB Port still provide power in that state?
Mine stops charging but remains with the power led on like it was charging.
Then it prevents the phone from enter in a sleep mode. So discharging must faster.
I need to disconnect the USB cable and connect it back for it to return to a normal state.
I saw someone stating that the Japanese version had a fix with the led being on while the phone was not charged.
So maybe these .75 / .76 versions include the fix for this problem?

Hi, I recently brought the Sony live with Walkman the first thing noticed the screen if we closely observe the screen we can see a little dots looks a grid on the screen is it outdated screen or whats going in there and while im in call speaking someone else i can hear come kind glitch and some times it goes away but over all performance is so good
Coming to battery life what i observed is when im on WiFi the battery percentage dramatically drops like 1% per 4 mins (browsing) no multitasking
is this normal WiFi off i can get 2 days of single charge :laugh: WiFi On 1 day max :good: and my phone heats upto 40c on heavy use like playing temple run 2 and all
i want you suggestions and tips to make my phone better im on Android 2.3.4 stock with firmware 0.62
Any upcoming news for ICS 0.587 firmware update, I recently checked that Tipo got update on 4.0.4 firmware so can i hope update to my phone W19i
waiting for you replays guys
About the dotz. Don't worry every fone has it. (dammit I forgot its name).
Battery life, since urs is new, u have good battery life, u know two day is like amazing. Within some time,it will clog, up and u'll get a max one day. (and that's when u start searching for rooting, unlocking and custom fw's )
We already have. 587. :banghead:
yeah the dots are barely visible but its ok than what about 0.587 firmware can we get any update to it

Connect your phone to PC Companion and update to ICS
Our phone received official ICS update by Sony 9 months ago...
PREDATOR95 ->->->->a.k.a. ->-> predatOr
about dots its clearly seen especially under sunlight or strong light i think that is because of screen type "TFT"
i was with my friend he has xperia mini his phone didnt have this dots i think that is because mini's screen is "LED"
about battery drainage i had higher drainage on GB so if you try upgrading you will observe the deference not the best but better than GB
ok, can we except update for ICS because recently sony tipo got update for 4.0.4 im hoping they release to my phone too

I got this phone last night. I'm not sure but the battery drains quite fast (4hours screen time). Heats up insanely fast, like I'm just downloading something or browsing a bit then it goes 50 degrees celsius (cpu z). I'm not rooted yet so everything's in stock. I'm haven't tried stamina mode yet as I'm still testing it with regular use. But seriously, I'm really concern about the battery and heat issues. Any help would be really really appreciated. ??
Baseband version 32.2.A.0.253
Marshmallow 6.0.1
Try updating to the newest software version, 32.2.A.0.305 . It helps with both battery life and heating, or at least it did for me.

If your phone hasn't received the latest update, you might want to use FlashTool to flash the firmware. If you're nor familiar with Flashtool, do a little searching in the Z5 Compact forums, and you will find plenty of info on how to do it. It's not very difficult.
I'd point you to a couple threads about it, but I'm at work and don't really have the time to find them at the moment.
You could use flashtool to flash the latest firmware + install adb and fastboot (if you unlock your bootloader). Installing a modified kernel will seriously reduce heat issues and reduce battery drain.
Stamina mode is fine, but of course it only works by certain features of your phone when your battery level is getting low.
Thanks for the advices! By using this flashtool, I do not need to be rooted yet, correct? I'll do some searching about this method. Thanks! ????

This. With every update some people claim to have magically have fixed battery and heat issues but reality is the phone has had these problems since launch and they aren't going anywhere.
Am i only the one who is noticing minor lags around the UI after the feb update including few scrolling and wallpaper bugs on 23 Ultra?
Had no problem on my U1.

You can't judge battery for a few days. It always sucks immediately after an update.
Should i roll back or wait for another update?

I just got my s23 ultra on Monday. Turn on phone and updated. I must say battery life isn't that great either. Once I start using my phone it goes down quickly
I haven't notice any lags after the update. Battery life seems the same as before. I just installed the update today so will see if there is any significant change. But so far seems that it's just working as intended. Still hitting 5+ hours of SOT after last a full day of use and 30% battery left no optimizations.
Seems fine here. Am on light battery profile
No difference here on VZW.
No problems on the U1 model.
No issues for me. If you have a few hiccups wait a day or 2. Apps do re-optimize after an update so let everything adjust.

Have had this after “analyzing battery pattern” phase. It was probably the play store update but as soon battery finished analysis p, it got worse
I don't get why some of you are only getting half the battery life that I am. I am Deaf so I don't do any voice calling. Don't have any games installed yet. And only Social Media I have is Facebook and Messenger. Other than that it's all Stock without any modifications and using Adaptive Refresh, Adaptive Battery and WQHD resolution.
The first screenshot was with Standard Performance Profile and Second was Light Performance Profile.

Because I don't have a time machine to know what would happen. I assumed this didn't happen, but I was wrong, now is time to fix it..
Downloading update via Frija and will update on Odin.
The thing is I can't rollback, as I couldn't get the old firmware, only the new one.
I'll update here when is done.
