There is no way add user. In other Xperia phones received lollipop update, I saw a user icon right corner of notification menu

You mean guest mode or adding another user? That has been answered by Rickard in C3 and T2 sections. It should be the same with M2. The device doesn't have enough RAM memory to support it.

Thanks alexdon, but after lollipop update there is more than 340MB free ram available, in kitkat free ram about 180 Mb.so I hope Sony will add that feature soon.

It is the overall RAM that's not able to support it. 1GB for M2, just like C3 and T2. So I wouldn't put too much hope on this.

Will Sony give a solution for that?

I do not know, honestly. You can contact your Local support and see what they say.

Alexdon I talked with a local agent(India), he said guest mode/multiple user available in Xperia M2 dual. But not in Xperia M2 single. I think both have same performance (including Ram).so why?

You should continue to have discussion with them. Ask other questions too. I am not working for Sony so I have no idea.

That number doesn't mean much. It says how much RAM is free while Android keeps killing apps when the free RAM goes below a certain limit defined by "minfree" (which in Lollipop is quite high). Sony even enabled the zram in Lollipop because of the lack of memory.

The problem is that even if the apps in ART are supposed to consume less RAM, the system in Lollipop apparently needs much more. One can see it in Settings/Applications/In Use. Anyway, I tried to enable the multi user adding the two lines

fw.max_users=3
fw.show_multiuserui=1

in /system/build.prop (root is needed) and to switch to the guest account took forever. If Sony enabled it everyone would be here complaining that it is too slow.

Multiple user isn't available in Xperia M2 lollipop update. Because Ram(1GB ) isn't enough for that feature.
