Firmware 26.1.A.2.99 Xperia M4 Aqua

Dear all, Have you guys notice, after upgrade to 26.1.A.2.99, Xperia M4 Aqua lost option to choose MTP/MSC under USB Connectivity? And I also notice this phone perfom smoother, but draining battery faster than previous firmware. I looked into CPU-Z, and the high speed quad core part (the 1.5 GHz part), is never below 960 MHz while idle. Previous firmware can reach 500 MHz while idle. Any comment?

@alibaykal, @defox
Currently, I'm using firmware 26.1.A.1.112. I've read on XDA Forum this version for commercial & journalist, they said is less bloatware. But you might see it just slightly, not much. I prefer to uninstall update for all none necessary app, then disable it. And move all moveable app into SDCard. Right now I have around 1.5 GB free internal space.
I'm using the latest version of Flashtool 0.9.19, since it can download the .FTF (stock ROM) and downgrade or upgrade your phone.
I don't know excatly the change log, since I can't found any documentation about it, but for sure the USB option is back to normal. The 1.5 GHz cpu part module is can lower than 960 MHz when idle, and I found it much cooler.
I haven't try to benchmark yet. I don't use this phone for gaming. As long it is smooth and cool, I don't care the score.
I hope it help for temporary solution. If there new firmware and fix all the problem. I will go back to the latest firmware for sure.

  • Speakers Issue with Xperia M4 Aqua Dual

    I wish to complain about my handset SONY XPERIA M 4 aqua which was purchased on 18th June 2015 from Ambe Electronics, Sector 18, Noida. Within two weeks its speakers stopped working. I took it to Ambe Electronics but without any positive response, they took the handset from me saying that they will send the handset for repairs to the service station on 14th July 2015. A SMS was received from the service center regarding my service ID 15071401386 and my complaint number which is W 115071401386. But till now I haven’t received my handset. I am suffering the agony for having purchased SONY XPERIA. Will the company take a call and give a new handset as I am psychologically and mentally not happy to have the repaired set back. An immediate action is requested. Lalita Dua

  • Sony Xperia m4 Aqua vibration issue

    I bought the M4 Aqua yesterday at the store and already I have a problem I can't figure out. This phone should have a vibration system right? When it turns on it should vibrate but it doesn't. I've enabled vibration mode for incoming calls, but it doesn't work when someone calls. Also with Whatsapp it doesn't work. When I want to put the phone on vibration mode with the volume down button to the point where there's the ''shaking phone'' icon, it doesn't vibrate and confirm it's actually in vibration mode. What should I do? Also, when I took the device off the power source when it said it was fully loaded (after I bought it, for the very first time and the device was off) it said it was 90%?And is 9 hours (with beginning at 90%) of normal use and sometimes 3G a good amount of time? It made it from 9:00 till 18:00, so not till the end of day.And, can you make panorama's without having to turn the device on its side, cause that's a bit annoying. Sorry if all these questions are easily solved, I'ver never had Android before.Thanks in advance for answering.

    Hi Ni_8,
    Welcome to the community,
    In this case I would suggest taking the device back to the place of purchase, as this sounds like a hardware issue.
    However you can try a software repair on the device before taking the device back, as this could be software.
    Here's how to run the repair on PC Companion:
    1. Install and open PC Companion then select Support Zone.
    2. Phone Software Update.
    3. Start.
    4. Repair Phone
    5. Continue
    6. Accept data removal
    7. Next
    8. Wait for prepare
    9. Select Phone
    10. Follow the connection steps
    And Bridge for Mac:
    1. Launch Bridge for MAC without the handset connected.
    2. On the Main Window select "Xperia > Repair Xperia Device".
    3. Ensure the phone is charged and select "Ok" in the following window.
    4. Select Continue on the following page.
    5. Wait until the initialising step is finished the continue as below.
    6 . Select your model of phone from the list that appears
    7. Follow the connection steps that appear, ensuring that you are holding the relevant button down before during and after the connection phase until the update/repair begins.
    Let us know how you get on.

  • Xperia M4 Aqua, forgot password, how to reset password or factory reset phone?

    I've had my phone for a couple of days and today I decided to get a pattern lock, and of course the first thing I do is to forget it. How do I reset the pattern lock? I've googled around without any succes and when I enter wrong pattern there is no "forgot pattern" button, it just says "you failed to draw the right pattern X times, wait 30 seconds before trying again", I tried almost 70 times already and Im not getting anywhere.Then I tried to look up how to factory reset if you forgot your password, and I found one guide saying you have to turn off your phone and press and hold down the volume+ button and power button for about 10 seconds, in order to bring up a reseting menu or whatever. But holding down these buttons just turns the phone on and off every 2 seconds... So if anyone could tell me either how to reset the pattern or factory reset, that'd be great.

    You have these options:
    1. See this link
    2. You need to perform a software repair using PC Companion.The process will erase all internal memory.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 80% battery.
    Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device).
    Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable. If PC companion does not start the repair process, you might need to run it in compatibility mode with Windows 7 (in some cases XP).

  • Xperia Z2 Lollipop Update PC Companion Error 11 and other Xperias problem in updating

    Hi,
    I'm trying to update my Xperia Z2 D6503 to 5.0 Lollipop throuh Sony PC Companion. However, when it finishes preparing it says "Unable to run update components on your computer" and "Unable to communicate with Sony Update Engine (error 11)."
    I've tried disabling my firewall but that doesn't help either.
    Some details that might be helpful:
    - my Xperia Z2 D6503 was bought unlocked from a local Sony Store
    - my computer is Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium
    - I received the notification for the update (or saw it) around 4pm PST
    Thanks for your time!

  • Sony Xperia system upgrade causes BT email issue

    My Sony Xperia mobile phone has just had a system upgrade and now my BT emails are coming up corrupted on it. I contacted my phone provider who tells me BT has changed their popbox codes and I need to go on to my account and enable it for mobile devices. I have had a look with no luck. Any suggestions please.

    I have had this exact experience with my Sony Xperia M2 Aqua phone after downloading new system software about 2 weeks ago. My husband and I have the same type of phones and share the same email account. Fortunately he did not update his phone with the latest Sony software. He still has the previous version on his phone and he has had no problems at all. 
    I have had little joy with Sony other than to ask me to send them screenshots of the problem, to take off and reload my btinternet email account, and to use PC Companion to repair/reload the software. I have done all they ask but to no avail as problem is still the same after doing everything they suggest. They are extremely loathe to accept that the problem stemmed from their software update but are now referring it to a technical department to investigate. Sony say that I can't revert to previous version either as a solution as they can't downgrade a phone again after upgrade had been installed.
    I would welcome any suggestions or advice to fix the problem if anyone can help.

  • Xperia M4 trouble after inserting SIM card

    After inserting SIM card in my Xperia M4 Aqua, my phone reset itself and got stuck on the purple screen thingy. I also couldn't turn it off. I had to press the power button and volume buttons to turn it off. Although I tried to reboot it again and again, it still wouldn't turn on.

  • Smart Wireless Headset Pro connection to laptop

    Good afternoon all,
    I'm trying to connect my wireless headset to my business laptop...
    But when connecting, windows (vista) wants to have drivers for the headset.
    Now my question is: Where to get these drivers? Or is this even possible what I want?
    Thanks!

    There are no special drivers for Smart Wireless Headset pro, it uses standard Bluetooth drivers. Check that your Bluetooth stack is using the latest firmware version.

  • NOT HAVING GLOVE MODE IN SETTINGS.. PLZ HELP

    HI friends
               im have bought xperia sola few months back.. at the time wen i purchased i had GLOVE MODE in my settings.then i upgraded my sola to 6.1.1.b.1.54.. after upgrading my phone was very slow. so i flashed my sola with the firmware 6.0.B.3.184 .. now i cant able to see GLOVE mode in settings. am i using right firmware.. plz help with the firmware versions you are all using ...
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Don't type in capitals
    Firmware versions varies with region. So there's no exact list of all the firmwares.
    Latest global update for Xperia Sola is 6.1.1.B.1.54.
    Also there's no best version. Latest firmware is the one with least bugs( Be it GB or ICS ), so it's better to be on the latest build.

  • My macbook pro keeps terminating the screen saver app!! Help plz!

    basically what happened the first time it crashed is this. i went into the screensaver settings and switched to the itunes art work screen saver. then i opened up the setting button. i switch the number of rows to 2. as soon as i moved the slider down to 2 rows, it closed out of it and i got that "application quit unexpectedly" window.
    However now, when ever i open up the screen saver and desktop icon in system preferences, it opens up to the desktop tab, and then i go to the screen saver tab and it is still working, but then i click on itunes art work screen saver and it quits again. so i hit the reopen button on the error window and it takes me back to system preferences. i then click on desktop and screen saver icon and it once again crashes. do it again and it crashes again. then the third time it opens up ok, but whenever i go to itunes artwork, it crashes again and i have to go through the 2 crash cycle again.
    Please help me if you can. the only thing i did tonight was update my MBP firmware to 1.0.1 and downloaded an aqua teen screen saver which i didn't even install cause it didn''t look like something that i could run. I just deleted.
    please help if you know anything about this kind of problem.

    Ok i managed to figure out a way to keep it from crashing all of the time. i go into User/Library/Preferences/ByHost and delete com.apple.screensaver.itunes.xxxxxxxxxxxx.plist. this help me so that i am able to open up the screensaver window and even select itunes artwork from the list of screen savers. this works fine because it seems to restore the default setting for this screen saver. But if i open the options screen and try to set it to 2 rows, then it will go right back to crashing again.
    Can somebody please help me out with this 2 row problem? i'd greatly appreciate it.

  • M4 Aqua Micro Sd Card speed Specification

    Hi,  I just bought a new M4 aqua phone.Now I am looking to buy a new Micro SD Card for my phone.I saw online that their are many speed specifications availaible for micro Sd cards, i.e. class 10, UHS 1, UHS 3 etc.... with Read/Write speeds ranging from 30Mb/sec to 95 Mb/Sec. I wanted to know what is the maximum possible Micro SD Card speed supported by M4 Aqua? I know that the maximum memory it supports is 128 Gb But what is the maximum possible speed SD Card that I can instalkl in M4 Aqua. RegardsYuri

    Thank you all for your valuable inputs... They all were quite useful in making an informed decision.... I received the following official response from sony...Hopefully will be helpful to someone else also.....
    Dear Yuri,
    Thank you for contacting the Sony Xperia support centre.
    In regards of the Xperia M4 Aqua and the class of Micro SD card.
    We would advise the device can use up to a 128GB, class 10 SD card.
    Please avoid a UHS SD card as these are not compatible with the M4 Aqua.
    Other then that you should face no issues with Micro SD cards.
    We hope this helps.

  • Disgusted with Sony Mobile phone support

    Hi. I was thinking of getting either the Xperia M2 Aqua or the Z3 Compact. My main concerns are:
    1. Asking for the Android version
    The lady on the other end of the line albeit being polite says its "4.4" and that is what her "system is telling" her. This is itself is very inaccurate as there are other Kitkat versions of phones such as 4.4.1 / .2 / .3 / .4? Being on a Customer Support Line and working for Sony Mobile she should be more aware of the different versions and she should have asked a 2nd-line tech support person which she failed to do so.
    2. Known camera issue with the Z3 Compact
    Issues such as the overall screen & photo quality being more of the "cooler" side (with pictures seemingly less natural, less sharp, less contrast), slow camera speeds, an "overwhelming" LED flash during night shots are all well documented on very well-known websites such as GSMArena. There seem to be a not-so polished, confusing, & low-quality camera software and an update is needed. The lady kept saying that in her own experiencre she did not encounter these issues. She refused to recognise the issues i have mentioned based on what i have read & seen from this very well-known tech websites as it was pretty much useless to base my opinions on phones in stores as the phones will either be on demo mode, are turned off, software is not updated, camera is covered by the phone holder, phone not connected to a wifi or there are no media files to try out. 5 out 5 times i went to O2, Vodafone, Three and Carphone warehouse stores this has been the case. 
    I have told the lady to at least make a note of my opinions, comments, complaints & suggestions and to forward it to the relevant people in Sony Mobile which she says she will be doing.
    3. Lollipop timeline
    The phones i have mentioned have been out for months now. Lollipop has been out since November. Google themselves said that 1. they have made a way to make sure the Lollipop SDK or API gets to the OEMs (such as Sony)  in order for updates to hapen in an early manner and 2. Google stated that they would like to see updates to the latest Android version would not exceed 6 months which in my opinion is very late. The time a new Android version comes out there should be a "limit"of 3-4 months to update current-gen, flasgship phones and 6 months for the mid-range ones. So with those facts in front of us...why still no Lollipop timeline update?
    The bottom line is your profits are slowing down and Sony is cutting on jobs. For people to like Sony phones again you must take in these opinions, comments, complaints & suggestions from us users, incorporate them on current & future software and hardware products coupled with timely and early and "as often" software updates then this would be a better world. I have had Android phones for the past 4 years and although not having a computer degree i think i know pretty much how phones work, etc.
    Dear Sony...IMPROVE your customer service over phone (include a chat service please), LISTEN  to end-user complaints & suggestions, UPDATE in a realistic/timely/early manner and BE UP TO DATE to market and consumer trends. 
    SORT YOURSELEVES OUT!

    I have noticed two known bugs & issues in my Xperia Z2:
    1. Alam Clock
    This alam clock bug appeared in my Z1 weeks ago and my current Moto G (4G) phone. When my phone is on Silent mode I set the alam clock to ring even on silent. When the alarm goes off in the morning its either i don't see a slider to cancel the alarm or it rings but i have to go to the alam clock settings and go to delete alams and the alarm stops which is 2-3 steps more than the slider. I had to resort to a 3rd-party alarm clock which helps but prefer the 1st-party one. Can anyone explain this?
    2. Charging
    This issue again is not confined to the Z2 but also to my Moto G and my Nexus 5 which i had weeks ago. Charging the phone, regardsless of how many percent left is on the battery, it causes the screen to go "haywire". What i mean is the screen is almost unusable to the point that multiple tasks are being done at the same time i.e. opening Messages, pulling down the Notification panel, going to Album, etc. I have seen videos on Youtube and i'm not sure if Sony is aware of this. Any advice?
    3. Performance
    I cannot fault the performance of the Z2. But i'm not the type who do benchmarking tests, etc. I still find sometimes some lag and is a tad slower than my Nexus 5 which has a slightly the same specs. I have speeded up the animations speed under Developer Options but i don't know what else to do.
    I also do not believe that by resetting the phone these so-called bugs will go away as this seem to be a "default" advice whenever you ring customer support. I have reset the phone twice and they are still there.
    Please advice & help. Thanks.
