Wireless PC with Marshmallow?

Tropinota — Mon, 04 Jul 2016 10:57:07 GMT

Hi, I have two questions about this terminal:

1º.- I received a Z2, warranty, with the new Marshmallow and I need to connect wirelessly to your PC and laptop to transfer files, but with this new softward that possibility is not contemplated. This need is given because I have to connect and disconnect many times a day and I want to protect both the "front" as the connector (physical) USB. Are there plans to implement this option in future updates? or, if this possibility is not contemplated Is there any other alternative that can use ?, Can Lollipop again?.

2.- When trying to install the APP "Snapdragon BatteryGuru" tells me that "my device is not compatible with this version" What brings this terminal processor?. This APP and had installed in the previous Z2 smoothly and indicates that the web has a "quad-core processor 2.3GHz Qualcomm MSM8974AB" What is the problem?.

Thank you very much.

Translated with Google Translate.

@Tropinota About your first question:

About the second one, is the app up to date?

That doesn't matter, you should check when the last update has been made. Or contact the developers.

Forgive "alexdon" I can not tell if the APP is telling me that my processor is Qualcomm, or me is saying that is incompatible with Marshmallow.
I do not know what you mean when you talk about the "last updated". Update who does the APP? Or Marshmallow?

The developer must release updates regularly to make the app compatible with every new build update that your phone receives (just like 6.0, 6.0.1).

EDIT: I have checked the app and it hasn't been updated since 23rd of June 2015, that's over 1 year ago.

Min: Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich, API 14)
Max: Android 5.1 (Lollipop MR1, API 22)

That's why as @alexdon said.

Well, I'll contact Qualcomm. Regarding the wireless connection to the PC, Are you really telling me that Sony has REMOVED this feature?, Then let me tell you "are sticking a shot in the foot." Sony may (by ethics) not to market the terminals are "waterproof" and, simultaneously, forcing users to "break" waterproofing for opening and closing the lid USB, MANY times a day.

Hello @alexdon. I have not seen (or read) any SONY response to my last question, Really, SONY, has REMOVED this feature permanently ?. I like to think that they are "studying" the best way to adapt to Marshmallow, but have high hopes. I think MANY of us need an explication. I refuse to believe that a company, CATEGORY SONY, make this "botched".

Yes, that option has been removed as you can read in the link I've left above. You have to check for other apps that allow the wireless transfer.

Hello again @alexdon, What should I do to have LOLLIPOP again?. Marshmallow not meet expectations or needs to ask my Xperia Z2.

Bear in mind that there is no official way to downgrade your device. Take a look here:
