Hi everyone, i' m new here and i want to help some of your questions. I won my P7-L10 so it came factory unlocked which i OTA updated immediately with B133SP1 firmware and everything worked flawlessly.
I never rooted the device, everything is factory set.
Few days ago i OTA upgraded to B609 version and i cannot encounter any problems you guys said, except laggy shortcut/notification panel and maybe dissapointing camera controls as well as bad design of clock, alarm, torch (all black, cannot change colour) and phone manager... too flat for my taste, b133 was way better.
For all of you reporting resolution 1280x720 i have noticed that turning screen saving on does that... revert it back and should be fine...
Every old option is still here nothing missing, and a bunch of new possibilities added...
Preffered network mode option is still here (4G/3G/2G), working flawlessly as well as wifi...
As far as i can see all problems are caused by rooting and/or flashing updates not ment for your region, but that's only me maybe i'm wrong.
If i helped anyone say thanx :good:
Cheers
Rate this thread to express how you think the Sony Xperia Z5's Wifi performs. A higher rating indicates that it has excellent range, throughput, and signal strength. Like when you're taking a dump in the bedroom upstairs, do your videos have to buffer or do they come through without interruption?
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
problem wifi
i have a router of wimax " bm626 hauwei"
z5 dual connect with it but no internet.
instead i have z3 compact at same time
z3 it connect with it with internet.
why
any one can help?
Did you tried to reset router to default settings? Did you tried to update router to newest firmware?
Thank you for providing this information so that we know how to protect their eyes
Well all I can say is I have no issues with signal strength at all. When my WiFi works fine, the throughput is good too. The problem I am having with mine (on both 6.0 and 6.0.1) is that I lose my WiFi connection every few minutes. What happens is I'll be browsing online and after a few minutes nothing is loading but the signal indicator in the status bar shows a full signal. I have to turn off WiFi on my device, then turn it back on in order for it to keep going. Very irritating. I have many wireless devices in my house, this is the only one doing it. Oh and I've tried using 2 different routers, no change.
Anyone else experience this?
No issue with mine, reaching as fast as 400Mbps near the router. Signal strength works as well as the Intel PCI-E wireless AC7260 cards in my house, so that's pretty impressive. Overall pretty satisfied with the WiFi performance.
I'm using a Netgear Nighthawk R7000 router with a fibre connection, so I guess that's something.

Im having the exact same issue as you... the connection to the WiFi itself doesnt disconnect.. But what is actually happening is that the Device itself seems like it is putting itself in to this wifi sleep state briefly for a minute or 2 and then just suddenly comes back to it's senses (suddenly wakes up and starts sending/receiving data packets which then resumes loading like normal.. and it does this randomly at nonspecific times..
It could happen within a minute or 2 of using the wifi... or sometimes even after an hour or so of streaming (sometimes within 5 minutes of streaming)....
***NOTE***
My Xperia Z5 has custom ROM and Kernel and is rooted with SuperSU with Xposed and busybox installed running Latest Marshmallow 6.0.1 (.224) Firmware..
THEN I suddenly decided **** this, I'm actually going to fix this shi* lol ( you know that moment when you just had enough and finally decide to bother doing something about it, ).. that's the moment I had..
Anyway to keep this simple...
After several hours of troubleshooting, testing and diagnosing , and trying to narrow down, isolate and fix the damn problem causing it to happen, I'm not sure 100% just yet but I may have found the problem and the fix to this IF the wifi "Hanging" doesnt occur anymore after doing some minor editing of the system files. (Only able to do with a rooted device) .
I will inform you guys with my results in a couple of days and hopefully the outcome is good news .. IF not, ill just have to keep trying and if all else fails ill just factory reset the device since getting everything back on to my phone will only take 30 minutes..
Peace!

Awesome, keep us posted if you find anything! I'm looking into it at my end as well FWIW, I have factory reset and even re-flashed the firmware multiple times with no improvement. Just trying to save you time and effort into reinstalling and stuff
Sweet as bro, thanks for the heads up.. Well so far I haven't noticed any dropouts of any sort as of yet. But I still have some things that I am testing.. Will update soon..

Well.. Here i am.. And unfortunately the issues still persisted.. To top it off, my phone decided to start having random moments where it would just restart on its on, even when left idle for a non specific amount of time. Anywhere between 1 and 3hrs.. I started getting really ticked off with it, so I decided to factory reset the device and install the latest (stock) firmware .253 from Sony using xperifirm and flashtool.. Flashed successfuly, applied latest andropluskernel, applied root, and xposed and also debloated the rom.. so far its been little over 12 hours and i havent really noticed any WiFi issues apart from the WiFi at some point tends to almost seem like it lags and slows down briefly and then just loads.. Not as bad as it was on previous firmware .225 .. Overall performance and battery on device seems pretty decent, without Amplify, without disabling any services or any system tweaks of any kind...
So now that I am onthe new firmware and rooted etc... I will as of this point specifically going to dedicate my diagnosticsand testing solely on the WiFi issue and see if I can find a permanent fix this time on the latest firmware..
Will report back soon.. Hopefully what I have in mind works..
(buffer size, WiFi chip power tweaks, WiFi sleep timers, etc etc etc)

Sorry its been a while..
Just been busy..
So far on the recently updated firmware (.253), I have not had any wifi issues as of yet. And it has been fine since my last post...
One thing ive noticed though is that by default the wifi scanning frequency is set to 180seconds by default.. If you can, try and change the interval between wifi scanning and see if that helps at all..

No worries at all, I have too which is why I didn't see your reply for almost a week.
I haven't updated yet to .253, not sure how to go about it so I have been delaying. I've been poking around the forums here trying to see if anyone posted any instructions on how to upgrade if you are rooted on .224. In the mean time I will keep looking through logs and I'll try the WiFi scanning.
The crappy part is I recently turned on the fingerprint reader and I am also experiencing issues with that. Once or twice a day I get "fingerprint hardware not available" and have to reboot my phone to get that functionality back. I see others with the issue and it happens regardless of firmware so it's probably a marshmallow issue.

All good..
Well you're gonna have to download the firmware from xperifirm and flash it via flashtool.. And since you're rooted with 224, you will have to download the new andropluskernel v34 for 253 firmware.. And TWRP custom recovery 3.0.2. specifically for the Xperia Z5. If you need help on locating the files/guides, I can link them to you, since we aren't in the right thread for this topic .. Just shoot me a PM if you need to and ill happily point you in the right direction.

Z5 junk file / caching management is ****. That's why the Z5 has random wifi hangs
Every few hours the WiFi in my T713 would hang up. If I turn off the WiFi then it refuses to turn on until I reboot the tablet. Super annoying.
Google around, this seems to be a problem that had affected samsung devices since at least 2014, but none of the fixes I saw applied to recent versions of Android or the S2. Mostly the solution called for installation of a specific version of a Kit Kat modem.
Any suggestions? I am rooted but other than AdAway I am bone stock.
On a related note, how do I start a new topic with the XDA app on th T713? The bottom menu is gone and try as I might I dont see a "New topic" option.

I am already at the latest T713XXU2APJ1_T713XAR2APJ1_XAR, currently re-downloading, will re-flash and try it again.
Factory resets are painful so will do it only if re-flashing does not solve the problem

I had done that and, as noted in the OP, everything is dated circa 2013-2014 when the problems seems to have first cropped up. The suggestions involve flashing a specific modem file, no way I am putting a 2014 modem on a 2016 firmware release. Will try YouTube.

None of this solutions helped me. The only thing that worked was going back to stock. Rooting seems to give my tablet problems with certain APs.
I decided to stay rooted and deal with the intermittent dropouts.

I *may* have fixed my Wifi issues. I remembered that a few days ago a dialog box came up offering to turn on power saving options via some built-in Samsung app. Sounded like what Greenify does so I said sure. I think my troubles started soon thereafter. This morning I disabled it and Wifi has worked without a hitch ever since
Settings -> Smart Manager --> Battery --> go down to "App power saving" section and click "Detail" --> turn off in the next screen
A day later wifi is still working. Anyone having WiFi issues should try turning off the Samsung per app power saving function
Okay I just turned it off, for I've been experiencing the exact WiFi issue lately.
I've the same model as you SM-713.
Fingers crossed.
So I am a bit burned from updating my s5 mini (last time it just updated itself to 5.0, my battery life and performance shrunk and it wouldnt even let me disable bloatware).
Here are my questions:
1. How did the battery life change from 5.0;
2. How did the peformance change from 5.0 (including in-apps, opening them and regular menu opening/scrolling);
3. Is USB-OTG now supported?
1. Battery life has improved a lot, at least for me. It seems that Smart Manager is really doing its job and I'm seeing an improvement in both standby time and SOT. With a few tweaks here and there you can improve the battery life even more.
2. Everything feels smoother, there are some updated animations and transitions that really make the phone feel like new.
3. No, OTG on the S5 Mini has never been and never will be officially supported by Samsung. There is a custom kernel that enables OTG but it most likely affects the water resistance capabilities because of the exposed USB connector and also it's somewhat of a risk to use anything that requires power on a port that was never designed to do that.
One of the few drawbacks I noticed just today is that the auto brightness seems a lot less responsive. For example it's very sunny today and most of the time when pulling the phone out of my pocket the display was still stuck on low brightness. It might just be a conflict with xposed or something else I'm running. All in all I recommend that you update, I skipped the 5.1.1 update as well but for different reasons, 6.0.1 is pretty good.

What model are you using? I'm using the GH800F.
How big is the change? And I've heard that 6.0.1 gives you less performance for more battery. Is that correct?
Sorry, I'm just scared of updating because I don't want to lose all of my data for another let down like 5.1.1 (that literally just enabled itself out of ****ing nowhere and I lost everything).

G800F as well. Like I said, I've noticed a big improvement in battery life. Just make a backup of the important stuff on your phone like contacts and photos and try the 6.0.1 firmware - I recommend you do a clean install via ODIN.

Alright, as long as the performance hasn't decreased (especially in games) then I'll update.
Since I've got most things on my SD card, can I just remove it from my phone, update and put it back in?

Yes, backup everything you don't want to lose to your card, wipe the phone from recovery and install a fresh 6.0.1 firmware with ODIN. If you don't like Marshmallow you can always go back to KitKat.

That's the problem, I can't revert. I tried doing it with 5.1.1 but it just wouldn't let me. I tried multiple times, on multiple PC's with multiple USB wires. (which is why I'm so nervous).
P.s. So if I remove my card, installl 6.0.1 and add it again it'll work?

You should be able to revert, if you can't then there's an issue with something - maybe you haven't updated the Samsung USB drivers?
Yes, it will work. Backup your contacts, messages, photos, videos, anything you want saved on your card and pull it out before you update if you're so nervous.

The first boot takes ~15 minutes, be patient. Check out threads about the Marshmallow update you'll find a lot of useful info.

Hi, i flashed stock MM TW comming from CyanogenMod 13. My battery life seems worse than before with CMod... What should I do?
Before upgrading to MM I did a benchmark test (AnTuTu) on 4.4.2 for comparison, ran the same test on MM and here are the results.
Thanks for the test. A more meaningful one would be to compare Lollipop 5.1 with MM 6.0.1 as most S5 Mini users have Lollipop installed.
I have a question about the MM 6.0.1 update. I flashed the new rom al updatet and seemd to work perfect. Then i noticed, the battery life was very poor. So take a good look at what was draining it. During the day it seemd okay, then when i got home it started rapidly draining again. I managed to figure out that when i am using 4G/LTE everything is fine but when i am home and change to my wifi, my screen turns on every 3 minutes or something and it complety unlocks as wel. because i have my screen time set to 1 minute it stays that way then turns of and about 3 minutes later turns itself on again. When i disable wifi the problem is gone.
Has anyone a idea how to fix this? i live at the border of my country and without wifi its gonna be expesive with roaming costs ....
Thanx in advance for your reply's

I had the same issue. Resetting the app worked for me. (btw. I googled that)
"Anwendungsmanager", "Kamera", "Speicher", "Daten löschen" und "Cache leeren".
Since you said you are on the DBT firmware, I assumed you are german.
I'm on 5.1.1 not rooted with g800f. Should I update to MM with Odin first then flash the custom recovery? Thank you!
Hi I am in Hungary I just got the update a couple of days ago. It was 8 before and now it is 9 and EMUI 9.
Since the update I had 1 random restart and for me it is less smooth. My main issue is I use the double tap on the recent apps button to go back to the previous app a lot and it is not really working always or I have to do it quite slow and not the same as I did and it stuck and have to do again and very annoying. It is also ignoring some apps to go back to like it was not used at all. And there are other minor bugs like in a game I double tap and it makes a screenshot. I know the double knock thing I use it a lot but before it was not this sensitive and it was doing only for knocks and not taps. I was hoping so much the new EMUI 9 would support 3rd party apps notifications on the AOD but no. I am disappointed. My last phone was a S galaxy s7 and they made this integration so quickly. I have a feeling we are abandoned. Anybody have some news about this? I miss it so much. The phone is faster a bit anyway and the battery time is great. I deleted the cache partition. So what is your opinion about these things? Thanks guys.

Try to reinstall with the OTG method, should work, in my case was same, the first installation felt laggy, but after i repeat the process, works smoothy
one annoyance i found in emui 9 is that now the default sim for sms will follow default internet sim, not the call one like how it was in emui 8,
this cause issue for banking app that using background sms for verification,
the app will say am using incorrect sim card if i use it with an internet connection from second sim.
this wasnt an issue in emui 8.
i hope this is just a coding bugs instead of purposely made by huawei

banking app itself is fine as long as i use internet from the sim that i used for banking verification as well,
it become an issue when i use internet from another sim. the app will unable to send verification sms from the correct registered sim, since in emui 9, default sms sim is following the one used as default for data in dual sim setting, while in emui 8, it follow the one used for call.
kinda hard to explain it in a word, lol. But this is common problem with dual phone sim, and thats why i expect all oem to actually give us setting to set default sim for sending sms, now we can only set default for data and call.
I am with locked bootloader.
I have updated my p20 pro to pie via SD card.
Now, is it possible to return to official oreo without unlocking bootloader..
Thanks
It's same the problem with my P20 Pro After I had updated to EMUI9 the Chrome app didn't sync well everything.. My old bookmarks are empty also! It also flashed off in the Google app before, I reset to factory for twice. And then is turn to Google Play store's apps update to update repeated.. It's like you never did it :silly::silly: I'm thinking about take it back to 8 through the Huawei Hisuite.. I think the Android 9 Pie comes with EMUI 9 is not ready for now... By the way, I'm from Vietnam, a Chinese.
(2) I've just tried to up to EMUI9 one more time.. But this time my phone didn't get matters at all, it's running well!
- Above all issues didn't see any more :laugh:
Things I did just simply returned to the 8 ver through HiSuite, then I used it for the ordinary days, logged in Google accounts also..
At before I was using Chinese language for the Huawei Vietnam device.. So I think it was wrong during updating something just like that, in this time I changed device back to Vietnamese language(root) & update to EMUI9 with Hicare app in the phone........... I saw something after it had updated was the update's log is writing Vietnamese while my phone was changing into Chinese language.. So funny about it! But the most important thing was everything well! No battery draining quickly too, thank gods!
- The present patch:
9.0.0.168(C636E2R1P12patch01)
- The present version:
9.0.0.168(C636E2R1P12)
*My suggestion you do not put it in Factory Reset, do not change to other locations through changing language in the phone, update it to 9EMUI based on the lastest ver of EMUI8(local) with the patches if it has. Good luck to you..

Could you explain how to do this please?
I did factory reset my p20 pro and it seems it is the same. I have the same problems just like after the update. 1. Double tap on recent apps squere button (go to previous app instantly) is laggy often stuck on the card view instead of reloading the previous app immediately. 2. Touch screen less responsive, many times I can see a blueish 'sparking' mark or line where I touch or swipe the screen means the system detected my touch but it is not linked to the OS properly. Anyway the battery and everything else seems good. So what is otg method I tried to search but it seems not so common or they call different, and anyway how can a factory reset different than the other FR? thank you guys and happy new year!
Hi All
I wonder if I could ask a favour? The stock camera app I have on EMUI 8 (5th November update) has no method of saving the photos other than internal storage. Does the camera app on Pie have an option to save to an external location eg OTG SD card?
Thanks in anticipation...
