System update - same update twice?

martinmrmus — Wed, 10 Feb 2016 05:29:38 GMT

Hi. I have installed 32.0.A.6.200 firmware on my Xperia Z5 Compact for 3-4 weeks (since I bought it) but today update centre offerwme the same update (32.0.A.6.200) with 28,9 MB of size. Why the same build number? What is the changelog?

Not sure, but I'm guessing that it's preparation for Android 6.0 Marshmallow update. Due any day now, at least in Europe.

I had the same.
Just installed it to see if there is any 'hidden' stuff, but I haven't found anything yet:-)

With my last installation of 32.0.A.6.200 I had som issues with some of the software going back to default setting, this is not the case now, so yes it might be that Sony is testing something before the big launch....

@mrnino

@Wallemos

There's no official statements from Sony about this small update, I received it too a couple of hours ago. And yes it can be a preparation update for Android 6 by updating some core apps for better compatibility when Marshmallow lands. On a side note, I got a splash welcome screen for Google Play Sore after update, and a new entertainment tab was added.

@Quester
Google Play Store has been updated by Google too, that could be reason... http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/02/09/play-store-v6-2-adds-recommendations-from-our-itineraries-in-gmail-apk-download/

@mrnino Play Store updates have nothing to do with Sony updates

I know, I was just reacting on Quester post, he wrote: "I got a splash welcome screen for Google Play Sore after update, and a new entertainment tab was added."

In Norway with Telenor carrier, I got a new Function under Mobile Network to enable VoLTE when available.

Not seen any other changes.

I can see that there is still the 'issue' that the APN's are back to default, so if your carrier / company are using their own APN to secure the mail synchronization you need to recreate this APN after the Software update 😞

I also got this update and as a result my phone cannot access the mobile network at all, it gets hot very fast and restarts itself. also the buttery drains very very fast (about 30% in 1 hour)...

What is going on??

You might receive a software update on your phone with the same version number as the one you currently have installed. The software update that you receive has version number 32.0.A.6.200. This software version has minor configurations and quality improvements specific to the configuration and not to the software itself. This is why the revision number has not been changed.

An example of what might be set by the configuration is what @RuneJ mentioned.

Hi guys,

I also got 32.0.A.6.200 on my Z5 few days ago (I'm in Sweden) and since then battery drains much much faster then before. I use the phone in the same way and did not install new apps since the update. I use the phone for about 3 months and never had battery issues until now.

I had 100% this morning around 12am and right now after barely 8 hours I have 59% with ... STAMINA ON since 12am (!) ... crazy. Do you experience the same?

Hi there,

I also experience that the phone is draining quicker than before the last 'update' 😞
I'm not using Stamnia mode.

Thanks Droopy. It seems I am not the only one...

Just for info. Yesterday I repaired the phone via PC Companion so the firmware has been installed from scratch and I restored my backup data. The interesting part was that after all of that I had approx 50% of battery left and Z5 showed me that it should last approx 1 day and 13 hours - which is a very good result. So I thought that finally (!) it's been solved some way.

My happiness did not last long as the battery decreased a lot during night (approx 20% on a newly installed software without any 3rd party apps).

So this morning at 10am I charged my Z5 to 100% and it shows it should last for 23 hours (!). Totally unnaceptable.

I think I will try to do a factory reset tonight...

PS. And I switched from iPhone to Android to have better battery life..... no comment.

Cheers
