Just want to let you guys know that today, Sony has uploaded the official firmware for the USA version for the E6603 device. It's version 32.0.A.6.209 with a region tag of R4B. It's listed as Customized US (unbranded). This is the first time the firmware is released for a non dual Z5 device. The CDA is 1300-4290.
I'm guessing this firmware is still lollipop and not marshmallow, right?
Quick question, if I switch firmwares, would I lose my DRM keys? I have locked bootloader still and don't want to lose them. I do want to switch firmwares to US or Canada so I have a local baseband. The signal is not the best and I'm pretty sure switching firmwares will definitely help with that.
You only lose DRM keys when you unlock bootloader.
Is it 5.1.1 still?? what changes or fixes does it have??

Offcourse there's noise when zooming, that's the way digital zoom works.
If you take two pictures in a tripod stand, one zoomed and one not zoomed you can cut the not zoomed image to the same size and have two exact same images. Digital zoom is worthless, it is the exact same thing as zooming in on a pic in the gallery.

At least sony should start marshmallow concept for z5 user.

Fingerprint stop working with this update? Really has no fingerprint in US devices?
I've tried this (.209) firmware, it does remove the fingerprint option.
Was forced to go back to the older firmware to get it back ;D

lolol, does that mean the US devices only have it disabled in software? Seems likely, I didn't think they'd start a new production line just to remove the fingerprint reader.
Did you notice any change in signal though?

See, the signal was why I was looking forward to this being released but I won't trade fingerprint for better signal :/
Honestly the signal was just the same.
Although my comments could not be very accurate, since the signal around home and work is very strong.

You need someone who got the phone to try flashing the phone with other firmware,that way you know forsure if they removed the hardware.
I think when on 8th of February someane buys officiall US variant, and if Fingerprint doesnt work, someone will just try to flash other versions, for example CE1 or other, to see if it'll work. Might be.

Do you have the name of that firmware?

strange, I just installed it on my mate's phone as well, we both got it from phones4u in UK and both had KDD firmware, I upgraded to KE1 but the other phone on KDD still had the update.
I have no idea how to get the firmware number, It was installing it for 4 min exactly and I had to make a reboot. the camera app is still version 1.0
hope this helps
I also just updated my UK SGS2 to the KE1 firmware.
I also got the camera firmware update.
The Samsung Apps also required an update.
So this camera app update doesn't actually bring any new features or functionality? It's simply bug fixes (not that I found any camera bugs personally)
No firmware update for me - Orange UK.

The SGSI support was actually pretty good everywhere outside the US, where carriers, rather than Samsung were the main problem.
Hello. Update 17.1.1.A.0.402 just started rolling out: for some reason you can't get any notification from the phone itself even if you check for the new updates in About Phone corresponding section, but once you connect it to PC with Sony PC Companion installed, it offers you to download and install the update.
Nice. Would be great to know if anybody has it and if it works well..

Well, I hoped for 4k video fix but got the overheat message in 4 mins writing on my sandisk extreme pro 16 gb. My phone is in official sony case though, maybe this is the issue. Have your results improved?
If you want longer 4k sessions, turn off image stabilization. Atleast in my case, it doubled the time, from 5 to 10mins. Though custom rom and kernel might also have something to do with this.
Now we need root!
I would love to know if the battery life stays on the same great level
Interesting, my 4G indicator now says LTE here on AT&T .. The phone does seem snappier, quicker response for sure over .55. :good:

Fixing this isn't as easy as you might think. It probably needs hardware modifications and there is nothing Sony may do about it.

I am starting this thread for the G920I model of the S6. Codenamed "Zerofltedv".
Where is G920I Available?
- Singapore
- India
- Australia
- USA
- Latin American countries
- North America
The S6 comes with regional locks for particular countries, And need to be activated with a sim specific for that region.
What is this thread about?
- For discussion.
- Online and local availability.
- Isssue discussion.
- Custom ROM development specific for this variant.
- Pricing
- Accessories
Curious to see which country with the G920I model gets updates first so I can flash that region's firmware in Odin. Australia will obviously be last as usual so I'm keen to get off this firmware ASAP and get onto one that doesn't block auto-rotate in the Gallery app

Yes, I am on the Indian firmware, which came right out of the box, got a small update yesterday thou. If our models are G920I then we should be able to flash any firmware for the same. My question is what is up with the regional locks? will that be a problem?
IS anyone here having the flash always on problem? mine is very dimly lit if you see it in the dark. very very dim, I have to try hard to observe it. Is it a major issue? are your devices doing the same?
am on a singapore version and i dont have the flash always on problem. battery life sucks though, coming from a OPO.

It's because of the crappy samsung apps running in the background .. Knox and ****. My flash is not that lit that it is noticeable... I have to look really hard. Very hard to see.. But it is glowing.. The technology must be this way I think

I figured out that it was my sim card/provider is causing the trouble. when I tried with another sim provider, it works flawlessly.
I got tired of waiting for official N release so I've decided to flash LOS instead (never liked the stock MiFavor anyhow). I have to say it fixed some issues for me and for now I'm quite happy with it. Even my LTE issue is fixed (previously my device could not locate a 4G network - tried several operators). I'd recommend you guys giving it a try, at least for those who are not afraid of experimenting with the phone

I haven't tested it yet as I have flashed the LOS just several hours ago. Still trying to get a hang on some other things before I get to the camera.
I don't think it will be much worse (or much better for that matter). It is a phone camera and I've never expected much out of them and for the occasional use it should be enough, for taking good photos I'd pick a normal digital camera any day of the weak. And besides, if you don't like the LOS camera you can always install some other camera instead.
In any case, I'll take some photos with it tomorrow and post them here for your reference.
Thanks Jedi.Tester

until now only customized US got the update

It's a preferred network type. You can select it under mobile network settings. Basically you force your phone to be always on 4g. To my knowledge, you need VoLTE to take/make calls using the 4g network.
