Android Marshmallow 6 on our Xperia Z5

Good Morning to You ALL !

This is our big day

Our most expected day

Android 6 MM has landed on our Xperia Z5

FW is 32.1.A.1.163, so it contains a lot of bugfixes with introduction of MM 6 Android 

Right now, is rolling for different models and on different countries so in few hours, or in one or two day, it will be on your phone, unless u're on a branded-operator phone where u should wait more days to come 

So, 7th March was right as we expected based on TWITTER INFO by Sony Xperia GB Winking_Face

More news to come !

Well i can now confirm that unresponsiviness in navigation bar after using phone for a few minutes is back.

I have white z5c (from finland) and issue eas present in phone when it was released. After maybe second update screen issues were gone, but is back again.

phone reacts to links in browser (dolphin) itself when i scroll and bottom navigation bar buttons are unresponsive until i shut down the screen. 

I have to do some more test with different browser and launcher (using nova now). To clarify things i was using nova for few days before MM update and did not have any screen issues.

Since I'm out of town, I'm yet to update my Z5 Premium Dual SIM. But if possible can you or someone from this forum help me by answering this simple question that I have. Is the dialer bug(you have to click the contact or the number twice to get the list of SIMs to dial with) in dual SIM Z5 Premium still there?

Here is a small video relating to touch screen issue with MM. In video i am only scrolling not clicking the links and still phone selects them. Video doesnt show unresponsive bottom nav bar, but that happens also. 

google drive link. (61mb and abt 25sec)

i use also panzerglass but that i have used earlier without any problem.

Thanks @Robertods88. Strange that the one which is not branded and has no customisations is called "Customized", but either way, if the update is a few hours away, that is great news, thanks for your help

Had real problems yesterday with Bluetooth - NFC doesn't seem to work, had problems getting the phone to search for bluetooth devices, only way I could get it to work was to repeatedly turn the Bluetooth off & on - Won't pair with a sony BT (SRS-BTV5) speaker at all. Had problems pairing with smartband 2 and smartwatch 3, Smart band 2 will not stay connected.

Customised DE full wipe.

That looks just like it was when it appeared on the white version of Nordic Z5 Compact. The issue was solved with a firmware update, but it seems that it has returned after the MM update. This is a serious problem.

Haven't faced this issue yet on my white Z5C after the MM update, but I quess it is just a matter of time. Btw are you still using the Nova-launcher while doing that video?
