Well after, finally removing all my apps to gain enough space to install the update (8GB) version. I have installed. At the moment cant see any improvements, so must all be bug fix's. Here I was hoping for an update which would allow for the removal of bloat ware.

Sony Guys., if you are reading this, then please please please consider for the next update.

Enabling the option to Root the phone.

Giving the user the option to remove the pre-loaded bloat ware.

Please please also update to the next andriod version which I hear will hold much better file management and support for apps on SD card.

My phone is same - E2363 (16GB version), but still no update received? Build number is 26.1.B.1.121 and says "Your device is up to date!" :(.

If somebody can tell what is exact difference between E2333 and E2363?

Update 26.1.B.2.102 just received this morning :). Everything work fine and smooth, even phone's back is no more hot like in the past after intensive use. Will see battery life after update. Before update with intensive use of internet, mail, messaging and cals last out more than 17 hour without problems. In normal use (during weekends for example) battery life is up to 48h.

what are the changes in the 26.1.B.2.102 update and is it recommended

Re: E2363 new firmware update 26.1.B.2.102

Mostly bug fixes and lowering of temperature of CPU’s - better managing of core speed. Now phone is cooler even in intensive use.

Hi any possibility of having tap to wake up screen of on M4 Aqua??

m4 performance for general tasks

nceeoh — Mon, 17 Aug 2015 18:53:38 GMT

My m4 Aqua has been really slow since 299, the phone lags when unlocking, lags on notifications drop down. Keyboard lags behnd when texting...
Can't scroll facebook or instagram even remotely close to smoothly. The phone can't run lollipop as well as my 2013 devices (Moto G 1st gen and Nexus 7 2013) I can't believe this is an octo core device with 2GB of ram.

Is this everyone's experience on the latest firmware?!? It is laughably bad, never touching Sony mid range ever again if this is the case. (My Z3 on the other hand is wonderful, and no I am not expecting the same performance. I am expecting usable performance for daily tasks which this is failing at.

@nceeoh

I'm sorry to hear that, could you try something? reinstall lollipop with PCC, it should smooth things out

Bridge (for Mac)

@uliwooly
@chayanray

have done the repair, we still have major lag and constant crashes. We are looking to buy a used z1 compact.

We feel embarassed and ashamed that the new device we purchased peforms like a very old device.
Cannot recommend m4 aqua. Very sad.
