SD card as internal storage removed from Marshmallow

Why did you remove new feature of Marshmallow android to format SD card as internal storage?

No. I'm not trolling or joking.. The amount of issues that would arise from adaptive storage is exponential.

i seriously dont know where u get the info about adoptive storage gives problems all i know after reading 1000s of comment that cheap memory cards make problems if u buy a proper card boom amazing performance and amazing storage which i have on my infinx and htc a9 

also as i said if people dont want it the have an OPTION NOT TO CHOOSE TO MAKE SD CARD NOT AS INTERNAL

But you have to realise, a LOT of people don't guarantee their cards are genuine and buy eBay specials...
Its not only the speed and stability tho, what happens to the % of users that go on to break their phone and want to get their pictures or files off device?
I'm a user and was just pointing out that not all of us want it.

Yes I read fine thanks,
I responded to :
"sony we all MM users want adoptive storage please give us that"

It's true, not all MM users want it; but at least, for the others, there should exist the option. Anyway to make the SD an extension of the internal memory, requires the user to configure it as such; a warning or a two-step confirmation is enough for a newbie or average user to know what are the about to do and stay away. I've seen Moto G 2nd Gen working fine with a Samsung EVO 32GB class 10.

exactly my point the OPTION should be there so that people can choose what they want to do simply removing that option is bad from sony

if sony doesn't make this option ( merge sd card with internal storage ) . i would definately change my phone brand for next shoping..

i've upgraded my beautiful xperia z3 dual to android 6.0.1 ; but i've confronted this issue ,,, lack of space,,,

z3 only has 11 GB space available and i can't install apps as much as i want

so , please sony,,,fix it,,, or you never see me again.

(there are lots of other bugs too in this upgrade sach as bluetooth noise & ... )

There is nothing to fix, they have purposely declined to have this feature as part of their OS.
Sorry, but most other OEM's have decided the same too.
