New firmware Z5 Compact 32.0.A.6.152.

Calm down. You might not be using the camera, but a lot of people do, and for some of us the time it takes to open is a concern. Just because there is a fix you don't need, doesn't mean Sony shouldn't push it. You should understand that there are other Z5 users apart from you, and people have different issues or priorities.

On the other hand I don't have any of the issues you describe. I never experienced any lag at all. My screen is perfectly responsive. The only time my Z5C slightly warmed up was when I was running a 3D benchmark for 10 minutes. My battery lasts 2-3 days of regular use, way more than a week if I use it only a little – that's fantastic compared to pretty much any other flagship phone out there.

Yet still, I don't deny that other people might have issues like that, and for their benefit I hope that there will be fixes soon. And least of all would I ever hope that certain issues don't get fixed, or even worsened, as you do in your post, just in order to sulk.

The camera start is quick now and opening the messaging app doesn't cause lags anymore. Looks good to begin with

I hope they also fixed the battery drain, I'd like to have at least a similar battery lifetime as my old Z3 compact.

I confirm the same experience with the latest update from Norway. A huge step in the right direction! Keep it up Sony and hopefully the battery will also be better.

What does add ''shutter'' function mean? where to find it?

The Z5 Compact feels much faster with 32.0.A.6.115 firmware.

New things I've noticed:

- Overall performance increased. (The little 1.5Ghz cores seem to be more aggresive).

- Stagefright 100% fixed.

- baseband and kernel were updated.

- Camera takes photos faster (with any camera app Sony / Google Camera / etc).

Some things that are still pending:

- Camera 2 Api full support

- Adaptive Brightness bug with gamma & display colors.

- Google's "Always On" option (Voice activation when screen is OFF).

But in general an awesome update!

I'm in the UK and have just received this update via PC Companion.

Too early to comment, but this better solve most if not all of my Z5c issues.
