Marshmallow issues

[YoGem]

For who read my previous thread about the sudden death of the C5 will be interested to know that to fix various issues I ended up doing a software repair which, of course and sadly, installed marshmallow.

After two subsequential software repairs the device runs pretty well however two issues are not going away and driving me crazy.

Spare the question about safe mode because I did check in safe mode...

Here are the issues: bad wifi and Bluetooth. It disconnect every now and them if there is any Internet or Bluetooth activity.

If wifi dies, Bluetooth is the next to die, if Bluetooth dies same happen to the wifi.

This time is not related to 5ghz and 2.5ghz band, it's a probable buffer overflow becasue the way present itself is a typical bottleneck and then crash of the stacks.

So, I don't know. What's the opinion of the pros? I believe that it's software, not hardware... But you, what do you think?

Also noticed that leaving the phone in charge all night long it stops at 88%...Things begin to be many!

Hello, I'm going to add some C5 E5563 L issues on this list that happen to mine after the update

- Memory leak will happen after sometime, i dont know what actually triggered it, but if u open lots of app, things will be lagging a lot, keyboard respond very slow. Restarting the device will fix the problem, never had this happened in old L

- Bluetooth (BT) device is often not auto-connecting. when i leave the BT range with my earset (plantr***cs) then i came back, it doesnt autoconnect to C5. And also when i dont use the earset or any BT device, C5 "throwing" icon will appear randomly. never had this happened in old L

- Now I can not find where to change different call ringtone for each sim. Since i use the dual sim version, i want different ringtone for each sim calls. L have this feature, i can not find this feature on M.

- When you connect device to PC as MTP mode, and trying to backup copy from memory card to PC sometimes it will disconnect. never had this happened in L

i really hope they will fix those problems in next update. thanks

That of Throw happens also to me and there is no way to get rid of it until you force stop it or reboot the device. That's why I think it's software and not hardware related. It still seems to be a buffer overflow to me.

Meanwhile both Sony MX and Sony US are not answering my emails so I don't know what to 🤔 think...

Oh @CameronT (and I still can't mention people here)... Is someone collecting this list of feedbacks?

I was wondering why the update to Marshmallow is not available on my C5 till date. I checked in About Phone > Software Update and also in Xperia Companion, but they all say "your device is up to date", whereas the Sony website officially says that Marshmallow has been released for the C5.
Sony took a long time to release MM for this device, and yet users are having issues?

- If the update ever happen to be available, do you recommend me updating to MM OR stay with L 5.1 ??

I was excited for the MM update since some users said that it is so much better than before.

If you use lot of Bluetooth like I do (two smart devices, streaming on a Bluetooth car stereo and office hifi) I may advise you not to, because apparently the issue exists and it's highly frustrating.

I am trying capture logs to send them as a feedback, hopefully Sony will acknowledge the issue and provide a bug fix.

I think marshmallow camera is not as good as in Lollipop. The images are not as sharp as it was before. While using autoflash it doesn't focus at all. Lots of details are lost in the image. Has anyone had the same feeling about the camera or my phone need a software repair?

Hello,

every C5 user is facing different problems with new MM update, but nobody from the Staff has written a single word about a future update that can solve the long list of issues.

We are the ones that struggle all day long with this phone, no BT, no WiFi, no charging, draining battery, etc...

This was a phone, now is a piece of nothing.

Please support this post hoping to get answers from Sony.

The weird thing is that I am STILL WAITING for the MM update !!!! :@

Latest software update and maintenance update fixed the issue for me.

I need to say thank you to CameronT and Rickard as well to the Xperia Support team in Mexico as they leaded me to find the right solution.

The solution was quite simple. If you received Marshmallow via XC and a software repair doesn't fix several issues, remove the sim card and the SD. Reboot the phone and perform a software reset.

After the software reset proceed with the setup of the device, connect to WiFi and allow it download and install software updates from What's New. One of them will be a maintenance update with no information whatsoever.

Turn off the phone, put back the sim and the SD card. Turn on the phone. Enjoy your C5 fully functional and issues free.
