Sony has however come out with solution, but this time too some users are still not satisfied. While Sony claims that a minor factory reset post updating the Xperia Z5 will do the trick, a majority of users claim otherwise. Incidentally a solution to this agonizing issue have cropped up in Sony Support Forum.

All you need to do is to plug in your Sony Xperia Z5 smartphone onto your PC or Desktop and head to PC Companion. On opening it you will be required to install Android Marshmallow yet again. This method has apparently solved the problem for a vast majority of users.
