[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I don't think they are going to fix these issue anytime soon, unless we make a petition.

Sony is not what it is back in the days.

Back in the days during the Xperia z to z3 era, sonty actively tries to resolve issues and add them into the changelog but now all I see is security patches and little to no improvements
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] Pandemic:
7.1.1 is improved alot especially the performance !

There is not only security patches also alot inside the system itself. 7.1.1 have better performance then 7.0

41.2.A.7.8 is the new firmware, x performance has it already.

Edit: I can confirm that 1 June Android security ! brings this version ;)
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] Atrax2010:
Today after I restarted the phone I got this thing in my settings (attached photos)

When I entered the option, it warned me that it might still be buggy and some features might not be stable yet. There is also an option to remove this setting option.

How did I recieve this?

The SW information is still the same, nothing changed.

Weird...
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] 550D:
It's nothing special, just press and hold the settings icon under notification panel and you get this "ui set" but it is not as pretty as in xz premium
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] Atrax2010:
Ok...I was not aware of that :eek:

Nice stuff, though, useful options. I wish I knew earlier. I probably activated it by accident...

No improvement for me. Taking video still stutter and phone still lag everytime. Even playing Vainglory, this phone is lag too much. I think it is something to do with the RAM Usage?

New 14MB update for the Xperia XZ Dual in India.

Edit: Nothing New in the update, Build Number as well as the Security Level is the same.
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] Lucaviola:
For everyone suffering lags, just clear your cache partition by holding on the power button and vol up while the phone is on. Wait until it turn off, just hold those two button until you feel vibration, and release the buttons and let the phone reboot. I feel significant performance improvement after such procedure! Stutter while recording video is reduced so much, worth to try!
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] 550D:
Does it clear app settings or everything is preserved?!
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] Lucaviola:
All is save.. You can find explanation about clearing cache partition in google.. I already perform it and see performance improvement here..

Then i tried it. For comparison, before the vainglory game is laggy after that, still occasionally lag but it much better. Hey, since nothing lost and nothing erased, why didn't you try it by yourself?

Has anyone on Customized MM (Myanmar) been able to successfully update to 42.2.A.7.8? For whatever reason, I can't seem to. Either OTA or via Xperia Companion. When I try, it sits on "Verifying system update" for a long time (30+ minutes last try), reboots and then tells me it failed. 41.2.A.2.223 is what I'm currently on.

Never had a problem with OTA updates before. Not rooted or bootloader unlocked. About to just Flashtool it. :p

Edit: Gave up on the OTA not working and just used Flashtool.

Still, unexpected battery drain!

It never happened before on any Xperia I've had.

Now even on idle it eats like 6, 7% overnight.

Crazy since it was always like 0%.

What is the process which can cause that?
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I wonder what is causing this heavy drain

Why other users aren't experiencing the same battery drain cause some of them can get 5 to 6 hour of sot, I can only get 1 or 2 hours sot

What the f**k

I rooted my f8332, debloated, use greenify, build.prop and init.qcom.post_boot.sh tweaked

Does anyone have also the issue with blutooth randomly shut down itself? i´m using the x compact with smartwatch 3 or huawei watch classic and bluetooth shuts down randomly, seems to be an anoying bug but as far as i know, this was a problem before android 7.1.1... On Google Pixel this was a known bug fixed in 7.2.1 but whats with our xperia devices? Device was in service and they told me everything is fine with bluetooth but i´m not sure about that...

Mine has done the exact same since the last 2 updates. I use bluetooth with car headunit.

I used sony companion to reinstall system image and start fresh 3 days ago and still does it.

I also get the phone randomly asking what type of cover i have, it keeps forgetting.

This is a bug...

Google fixed with 7.1.2

Sony may fix this bug with 7.1.2 update. (and hope night-light and fingerprint gesture include that update! I decompile Settings.apk and both features are there. Fingerprint need kernel code too. I hope xperia launcher updating too! This launcher not support Apps Shortcut)

You need to copy the last lines from his build.prop into yours because you have single sim right ? That build.prop from him is for sual sim.

[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] axaman943:
Hi there, i tried to relock bootloader but android asks for a password in order to start. wher do i find that password? is it the lock code?
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] chawlasrijan:
Yes, I had the same problem, that is because you're device is encrypted & there is no way to know the password.

Just use Sony's official guide to unlock bootloader & you won't get that password problem again.

Do this

1) Relock Bootloader & use flashtool to flash MM

2) Boot into MM & upgrade to Nougat

3) Use Sony's official guide to unlock your Nougat Xperia (For Stock Camera to work)
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] axaman943:
all right ill try but then i still have to setup my phone entirely damn!

Tried your suggestion, relocked bootloader, flashed latest MM build with flashtool, still asks for that danm password...
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] chawlasrijan:
That is because you didn't choose to wipe userdate while flashing :P

[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] axaman943:
BTW, i unlocked bootloader using sony official procedure, went to sony developer website, input imei of my XZ, got Booloader code, unlocked using my pc and command prompt (adb/fastboot).

after relocking booloader i still have that password thing, any other idea if i get it locked and can boot without password? i'll never unlock bootloader anymore it's too much trouble, and i'm used to flashing i've had a Nexus 5X, Honor 5X, OP2, Nexus 6P, all of them unlocked, rotted, modded, bricked, reflashed, relocked without any problem...:confused:

even AuroraRom i could'nt use it, while flashing i got error messages in TWRP saying System image could not be unmounted, then i ghad to wipe all partitions, installed aurora sucessuffly but couldn^t get pass through initzial setup cause had error windows saying setup app has stopped working. so i had to go back to stock using flashtool.

Is it true i wont receive nougat ota if bootloader is unlocked?
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] chawlasrijan:
Yes, you won't get OTA updates when you're on unlocked bootloader, also when you've unlocked it, you've lost your DRM keys, which cannot be recovered.

Now, if you decide to relock your bootloader, you can do that using flashtool which will make you eligible for OTA's but relocking will not give you back your DRM keys.

Also, if you decide to stay unlocked, you can always use Flashtool to upgrade or downgrade whenever you want, which people like me who have unlocked Bootloaders always do, it's quite hassle free once you've gotten used to it.

But, the current version of Flashtool does not support flashing Nougat FTF, which people have already reported on the official thread & an update will be in works, I'm sure it will be out within a few days.

I'm sure this all seems so much work as compared to a Nexus Device, trust me I know, used to own the Nexus 7, but once you get the hang of it, which you will, you'll never go back :)

All the best
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] axaman943:
long story short;

1. i have to wait flashtool to be updated

2. i have to flash nougat build when flashtool will support it

3. i will never get ota updates

Right?

How can i get my phone back to stock with locked bootloader in case i wanna return for warranty or sell it?

What do you mean by "never go back"? going bback to Nexus devices or never going back to locked bootloader devices?

Also? if i dont want to flash any custom rom or mods, why should i unlock bootloader on xperia XZ?
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] chawlasrijan:
Your long story short = Correct

To go back to locked bootloader, use flashtool to relock it, it's very easy.

Going back to nexus devices :P

If you even want root, you need to have an unlocked bootloader, because root on locked bootloader is not available yet.
