[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] Of123:
I agree, it's a great update (finally been able to use my phone again after many months), temperature (and battery life, I think they're linked) need to be improved. I noticed that they have improved temperature a bit, high temperatures don't affect the device as much as they used to, but still there's lag at high temperature.

FSC script

Quick question about .fsc scripts, is it still valid to use the .39/.41 ones or is there a newer one? Because these ones I have are from June. Does it even matter? Because I don't see a current one being downloaded/created after unpacking the latest FW, or I just can't find it.
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
Another 10mb update? Wonder what that is for... Anyone got the update?
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] Atrax2010:
Look in your Software Update history. It should say there.

Was is it a system update or maybe a Support app update? Cause mine got updated yesterday, so...
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
It was a System update ... I just received it today

Looks like a bug fix or a patch for something or tune up of some lib or files .... Not sure no change log

Anyone having issue with messaging app? When I want to respond the app crashes. I am on 41.2.A.7.53 HK version.
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] Guciu:
Yes, I have the same issue. Started today, 6 days after update to 41.2.A.7.53 Tmobile PL.

Funny thing is that when I want to create new message - it works. So I sent test message to myself. Then i could always open messaging app and firstly open this conversation and messaging app works fine until you will close it. Anyone knows permanent solution ?
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] P.Fan:
I'm having problems with messaging app too, changing to a different sms app fixed it tho, i used Google's Android Messages.

On a separate note, does anyone have a mirror for the .53 version firmware? Xperifirm is downloading below 10kb/s for me for some reason, I'm looking for the Dual Sim F8332 HK version but any other country will probably do too.
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] VeixES:
Messaging app crashing is not related to the firmware update. I have my device still on April update and the sms app started to crash also this week.

I can confirm messaging app problems since yesterday.

Model F8331 firmware version 41.2.A.7.35

Identical sympthoms as here:

[MENTION=4834798]Linux4ever85[/MENTION]

[MENTION=6208571]P.Fan[/MENTION]

[MENTION=7209193]Guciu[/MENTION] most probably misspelled "35" with "53" . As I see we all have 41.2.A.7.35 firmware.

Same issue is described here:

https://xdaforums.com/xperia-xz/help/xperia-xz-messaging-problems-t3660358

Without good solution now.

EDIT:

There is solution. Uninstall Chrome updates using Play store, and messaging app will work again. How? I have no idea, but this works
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] twistedddx:
How will likely be webview implementation as that is set to chrome stable if installed.

A Chrome update could potentially break any app using webview.

You could roll back Chrome stable or install Chrome beta or nightly and set that under dev settings, if a Chrome update is the problem.

Btw .53 is the current version for most users, it is not a typo.
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] darekesp:

-An official person should aware of these problems. I think Sony has not got test engineers for checking compability hardware and software relations.

-if these problems continue, Sony will lose lots of loyalty customers.
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] Linux4ever85:
I got my messaging app to work after force close so many times. I think the problem is due to large sms messages since I don't clear them. The app is re-indexing due to update from firmware. Once the re-indexing is done the app is back to normal. The re-indexing could take a long time depends on how long each messages are. Even when I backup the messages takes a long time for me.
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] doministry:
Guys apparently the Messaging app is broken BECAUSE of last Chrome update.

[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] seacowx:
Yeah chrome was the culprit (somehow) ?
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] Alien1891:
I can confirm that speeds are slowed significantly. As for breaking the connection while more than 1 device is using it I cannot. Also, if I USB tether the speeds are back up to LTE and match the D/U speeds of the phone. I use ATT so LTE where I live runs between 10 and 30 MB Download ps depending on the time of the day (sometimes much higher) and usually the speedtest on my tethered devices matches that....currently I'm getting no more than 2 to 4 MB ps Download speeds on the tethered devices, it's been as low as 28 KBps and at times the Upload speeds are through the roof while Download speeds are around 150 KBps.

It's definitely the OTA update causing the issue, I found a thread in the Sony support forum and one member confirmed receiving an email back from support saying they are working on the issue. Also I switched my SIM card to my Z Ultra and the hotspot ran fine on Lollipop stock firmware.

Soooo, I'm contemplating unlocking bootloader and putting custom firmware, etc. on my XZ. I haven't had the need for custom firmware for the past year or so since Android has been more stable in my opinion....although with this update it messes up my whole game, Hotspot is why I buy unlocked phones, this way I don't have to get a separate internet service....smh:eek:
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] agnew:
Thanks for confirming the issue. I too can confirm that while one device is connected to the hotspot the speed is significantly slower than wired tether.

Can you help point me to the Sony support forum where this is discussed? Google couldnt help me to look for it. Maybe my search term not relate to what is being discussed.

I thought of flashing custom rom also to alleviate this issue but I dont wanna mess with the warranty yet as I am also facing problem with the camera where it cannot be used in any mode without it being forced shutdown due to overheat which I felt the phone is warm at best. Using the whatsapp camera or any other app that has access to camera right after the camera shuts down seems to be fine though it lags here and there. Irony is flashing custom rom might solve this but I dont feel like letting Sony get away with this without doing anything about this issue.
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] sebaa123:
Hi, for me i can report that the latest update. 53 kill my battery ? ( also some users can confirm the same)

Since 6.0 to the last firmware update i always have 4-5 hours of screen.

Now with. 53 i have a max of 2:30

I have not add nothing new to phone, no apps.

Same use of mobile.

In stand-by the battery drop the % in high alert :(

I think that's why some of of country CE1 has been not updated.

In 2 weekend's will be a new update with new Android Security

Not recommend this update!

https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xper...ly-after-Build-41-2-A-7-53-F8332/td-p/1252913

I solved the issue temporarily by downloading and flashing a different version firmware with Flashtool/Xperifirm. I also found the previous build .ftf which was Sony's first Nougat build, holding on to that one so I can update when they fix issues...if they fix issues.

[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] Atrax2010:
Yup. Currently only Customized AU has it.
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] zwodziarz:
I'm downloading right now ;) I've just noticed my signal strenght may be even weaker with AU. Overall Xperia XZ has really weak signal strenght a friend who's on the same network as I am is getting full reception with his Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (without B20 LTE!) and I've got just 2 bars of signal. Anyway I've checked the speed loading some website and the my Xperia was quicker - I don't if that has anything to do with the Snapdragon 820 vs 625 or Xiaomi is lying with the signal bars or Xperia is just showing less signal bars but it seems to me like the signal is weaker than the in my previous phone - Moto X Style.
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] Atrax2010:
I've been hitting full LTE speeds with one signal bar, and no issues with voice calls in those conditions. Same goes for WiFi, there would be a single bar showing but the speeds are still great. So I'd say the bars should be ignored until there's literally none of them. Different phones behave differently with the signal bars, they don't show the same levels and they don't update at the same speeds across devices. On my old HTC OneX I could barelly browse web if it had half bars, so it really didn't mean anything.

So until you get actual data speed and voice call issues and drop outs, don't worry.
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] S1gma:
You can check real signal strength in About phone -> Status -> SIM status. It's in dBm. To simplify: dBm is the power ratio in decibels of the radio power per one milliwatt. A signal of -60dBm is nearly perfect, and -112dBm is call-dropping bad.
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] el_campi:
I have -113dBm.
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] S1gma:
-113 means bad :) When I have -113, I have 0 bars on network indicator, but I'm still able to make calls. -112 - -103 is one bar, -102 - -92 two bars. At least on my XZ :)

If you can check dBa read on other phone using the same network and same operator, you can compare both and tell if the antennas in XZ are better or worse.

massive battery drain with the new xperia xz update

Hello everyone. I'm having unbelievably huge battery drains overnight. I left the phone at %100 for past few nights and the Phone Idle battery usage was never lower than %20.

Tonight I had a drain of about %30. Which is certainly not acceptable.

Does anyone have any recommendations? I don't have much time for a full reinstall.
[Sony Xperia XZ Guides, News, & Discussion] Atrax2010:
This is what I did and all of it combined helps a lot. https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72065565&postcount=424

Before I started tinkering with the settings and disabling apps, my baterry would also drain over night and also last a lot shorter during usage.

My sister's Galaxy S7 behaves the same way since she got the Nougat, battery was not ideal after OTA upgrade until she did a full format and tweaked these settings. So let's hope the idle draining gets somewhat fixed in Oreo.

Tbh, I'd be surprised if we see any improvements in camera department on our devices, the "old" 23Mpix shooter probably isn't in Sony's list of interests any more.
