My xperience

I only had the phone for four days, because I found a dead pixel on my screen. I am currently expecting a replacement or a refund. During that time I noticed that changing the theme does not change anything else besides the home and lock screens. There were some random drops in wi-fi connection. I also noticed a couple of stutters here and there. Two or three apps crashed on exit. I also miss the picture album widget with the swiping pictures on screen. That is not present here.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] zippy01:
So no one seems to be getting any issues like me ?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] alphauser33:
Agree about the autobrightness, it's inconsistent and keeps changing in low light conditions. Makes reading an absolute chore.

I'd also love a way to quick enable glove mode, my previous Samsung had that in the drawer menu.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Genetic517:
for those of you who have owned sony phones, has there been timely updates to fix bugs like the ones being reported in this thread? some companies like to release updates with new features but without fixing bugs so im just making sure before i pull the trigger on an XZ1

thank you all!
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nit_95:
I've had this issue after the recent update to build 47.1.A.2.324 . Google assistant doesnt work with Music ( default sony music app) . it used to work before this update, and it doesnt work anymore and asks me to set google music as the default music service.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] -Happy Feet-:
WiFi signal drops when I hold my hand on the backside.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] NockIt:
1. The phone seems to reboot itself frequently.

2. Sometimes no sound when alarm is going off. I overslept once because of this :(

3. Quite often no sound when phone is ringing. Need to reboot the phone for it to act normal again.

4. Crashing when picking up phone. Call goes to call waiting and phone rings again. When picking up there is a very loud biping sound throughout the conversation. This goes away when rebooting.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] kistigun:
I've aso had problem 2 & 3. I also overslept myself 3 times over this, very anoying!!!

Edit: found this on the sony forum on how to get smart lock menu back:

https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-XZ1/47-1-A-2-374-new-update-13-10/m-p/1268608#M467

Its a android 8 bug

Solution:

Disable trusted agents on security settings.

Restart phone

Enable security settings. Thats it.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Oblox:
Oh god, i was going to change to the XZ1 this week after returning my Compact due to the rebooting, I thought they'd be different enough internals to not have the same issue. I guess its a Sony/Oreo issue then.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Volpenger:
a freeze occourred waking up the phone from camera button. The camera button was set to "open and shot"

I had to reboot via vol+ and power...
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] kistigun:
Updated to	47.1.A.2.374 yesterday, sadly all bugs remain the same. And I can add one; the smart lock menu is empty and all smart lock function dont work anymore
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] profyler:

I can add another issue. That is bluetooth delayed when I watch video on youtube and play some games.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] IndigoWhite:
Similar problems here even on the latest build 47.1.A.2.374. Also Google assistant frequently stops responding and then the phone becomes unresponsive and eventually restarts without prompting. Never had problems like this on the XZ when that was released. Seems to be some issues with Google services on this Sony hardware. Suggest everyone having issues pound the send feedback option and hope that someone in Google or Sony are listening!
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] blackknightavalon:
My notification tones keep going off at random intervals and nothing's in the status bar that could've set it off.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] dillalade:
Can confirm random reboots.

Bought the phone from clove and Amazon.

Amazon was horrendous reboots during setting the phone up - returned.

The clove one had no reboots until today, several times.

Some fkd up kernal CPU bogusness going on here.

Sony need to sort this.

I'll check with matlog tomorrow if anything stands out
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] roytam1:
Phone Idle is always 1st entry of battery drain list, does anyone have similar situation?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Volpenger:
same here.... battery life is suffering. Stock firmware was better
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] doministry:
Hmm. We will see.

So far no reboots, Alarm goes fine...

Notification Dots

Hello everyone.

I've an XZ1 bought from Amazon.it for Italian market.

I've same issue on Smart Lock already posted.

Another, annoiyng, issue are the notification dots with WhatsApp: they don't work (with one message the WA icon notify no dots, with 2 or more messages WA icon notify an empty dot).

Anyone with the same issue?

I received last security update on last monday.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Killua96:
Hi, sorry if I ask you a thing not related to your problems, but could you test with a GPS test app if it supports Galileo? Asked to Sony, no answers, here on xda is uncertain too xD

Thanks in advance :D
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] paolo.massetti:
Yes, tried with GPS Status and it works with Galileo satellite.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Fallforth:
Update to an earlier post

Quick update on my case. I got the phone back from the repair centre. Didn't get a replacement. The only thing that was done on it was a software repair. The software update they did hasn't solved any of the issues I had before like wi-fi signal loss, random restarts, no sound until restart etc. Furthermore it turns out what I thought was a dead pixel was actually dust between the lcd and the glass digitizer. :eek: Out of curiosity I went to three differnt stores and checked out 3 other Xperia xz1s one blue ant two blacks - the blue one had a perfect screen while the black ones had similar dust particles underneath the gorilla glass :( Wasn't this supposed to be a dust proof phone? :confused: I called sony support and they advised me to send the phone back to the repair center again with an exact description of the problem. I did so today. Now waiting to see what happens next. I feel really disappointed as I bought the phone on 27.09.2017 and it has been with me for no more than 5 days. :(
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Killua96:
Hi, I'd like to buy the XZ1 over the V30 for many reasons (software support, oreo, treble ecc...)

But one thing bothers me, in some Italian reviews reviewers speak about the visible pixel grill, it's true that's visible? Thanks in advance!
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] kistigun:
Yes, it's vissible. Was really irritated about it when I just recieved the XZ1. At the moment I'm used to it and I don't even see it anymore
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] celeron1:
What do you mean by pixel grill?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] bufordtjustice:
Well I gave up on this XZ1. I love the Xperia answering machine, but Sony removed it together with DT2W :( my old Z5 still have these functions.

I get lots and lots of notification sounds, but nothing appears on the screen, strange. Battery life is terrible, it uses 30% more than my mate 9 and Honor 9 compared. Camera is great in low light but not shooting light bulbs. I have the dual sim version, but can only select one ringtone for both sim cards. Sony blamed Google for this, but every other brands with dual sim can select one for sim 1 and another for sim 2. Why can't Sony? With huawei software it's possible to copy apps with data from Xperia to huawei mobile. With Xperia transfer only app gets copied, not the data :(

When listening to music through Bluetooth headset volume is too loud at minimum.

It goes from nothing to loud and nothing between. Speakers are ok, but mate 9 plays much louder.

The worst was the removal of answering machine which only Xperia had exclusively. Without this it's really nothing special.

galileo

Please can you post a screenshot with gps status, showing Galileo satellites?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] paolo.massetti:
e26 and e7 are GALILEO satellite.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] inteltecra1700:
I need a good SMS Messenger. the messenger App doesn't manage Mass text messages at all not does it manage Mass MMS. Anyone has any recommendations? This is ridiculous!
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] paulle:
thank you for the screenshot [MENTION=3295945]paolo.massetti[/MENTION]. Compared with my xperia xz (running gps status) there aren't the orange satellite marks. That's fine that the xz1 is supporting Galileo.

---------- Post added at 19:32 ---------- Previous post was at 19:28 ----------

I use signal for SMS too and it's a very good app. But don't know about mass SMS with it, simply never needed it.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] 4rz0:
I'm in germany, and I can't lock onto any Galileo Satellites, which worried me.

At least I see now that it works.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] doministry:
My annoyance is that after ending the call the Phone app goes to landscape and it takes a long time to go back to Portrait.

The second one is a bug with Silent mode - the dropdown menu toggle is half covered... I hope they fix it.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] zippy01:
I don't see any of that :confused:
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] l0c0m0tiv3:
My blue US version G8342 that is on the latest version hasn't been experiencing most of the issues on this thread, at least for this past week. Although:

-The Smart Lock seems to be a known issue of the latest update only.

-What I did see were some random "freezes" of some applications. E.g. switched to Instagram, it stops responding after 3 seconds, but the rest of the phone is fine. I kill it, open it back again, freezes yet again. Restart the phone, it works fine.

Some ram management issues or something? Something is not quite right =|
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] ktkatetucker:
I've been getting frozen screen - have to switch off/reboot. Lots of other random stuff too, but I'm never sure if it's me or the phone! The latest really annoying thing is hearing an 'engaged' tone constantly during incoming and outgoing calls. This was fixed a few days ago by switching sim cards, but the problem has returned again today.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] zippy01:
I've also been getting the engaged/call waiting tone recently while in a call. The "fix" is to restart the phone and it goes away hoping the new firmware fixes this. Also getting frozen screens for a while then the phone reboots
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] sorell81:
hi guys,

have any of you had any issues with the hardware or build quality?

i bet all the software problems will be solved with future updates
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] doministry:
So far - no!
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Chillout:
Hardware is great, no issues at all (so far).

Software:

- Sometimes the home screen goes into auto-rotate mode, while I disabled it

- No random reboots/freezes, it's working great.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] esvp:
I've had phone a week now.

Seem to have an intermittent problem with calls. on 4 calls I could hear nothing or interference, and other party couldn't hear me - cured only by a reboot. not sure whether to return phone.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] themaxxy91:
i have a problem with my xz1 from the beginning:

1) when i listen music don't appear the right song's name that i'm listening, especially with spotify.

2) system notification: i have always the background application message; i resolved with an app from play store

3) the most important problem is this: when i go in canteen or simply "lose" signal, it never retake it, i need to restart it.

Those r my problems about this phone
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Psadim:
what about your screens after a month or two? Are they affected like others said in another post?

[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Psadim:

[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Andrew0811:
Never restarted my phone,

-screen beightness is definitely annoying.

-sometimes it is slow to response.

-fingerprint very hard to read my fingers

-sometimes it requires extra effort for the touchscreen to know what i really want.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] yetocome:
Thank you! This solution works well in my XZ1 Compact.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Psadim:
Sometimes xz1 is loosing wifi and it needs to be restarted because it doesn't find or connect at any wifi it used to. That's so bad...
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] stillexodus:
Hi Guys,

I also have the problem with the visible display grid. Is that a common thing or should/can I return it to Sony?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Psadim:
For me it was visible for the first 5 days. I have it now for 15 days and i can't see it even if i put my eyes on the screen. I also placed a glass screen protector after 5 days, maybe i can't see them cause of it, but i 'm not sure.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] ekoooodok:
how to fix yellow tint? and photo quality low light so bad
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] chrisftlse:
I don't have the visible dot grid.

I guess Sony uses 2 or more different digitizer manufacturer.

If someone can tell me how to read/find such detailed information and I will share my screen/digitizer manufacturer name.

And back to the topic, I have nothing to report, none of the bugs reported are here for me. EUROPEAN Dual sims model.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Gnome1911:
Another Bluetooth issue: When I'm streaming Music over Bluetooth to my Sony Home Theatre, the sound stops unexpectedly and i have to reconnect BT to get any audio signal.

On my BT Headphones or on Logitech UE Boom 2 all is fine...
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] artdesmuses:
Hi guys,

unfortunately I have some of the bugs you reported and more... Very disappointed by Sony, I thought it was a more reliable brand than the most of others.

Here are the issues:

- the phone stops ring (alarm, notifications, calls)

- the screen becomes grayish a few times a day

- in the middle of the screen, the backlight is darker. we notice it especially when scrolling for example the settings of the phone or a webpage with texts and white background

- when restarting the phone, configuration of Gboard keyboard launches every single time

These bugs, I found them after one week, so I won't be surprised if I'll find more...

I hope Sony will fix all of these soon, it's unacceptable from a flagship, especially when they already had launch the new XZ2!

Do you finally get rid of your issues after dealing with Sony support?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Brun0ls:
Sound distortions...

Could you guys test an alarm or some YT video with deep Voice?

My down speaker kinda distorts some times with Max volume.

Is this normal? Thanks!!! :)
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] dcrin3:
Mine distorts as well. I've noticed it only on bad audio or compressed audio(speaker phone, youtube videos, mp3s), if I play really high fidelity sound then the distortion is gone.

Like right now I just played something from Netflix, the stuff is mastered well, the sound was crisp.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Brun0ls:
Thanks for reporting!!

I tested my friend's iPhone X and it also distorts some times, so, it's ok! :D

Oh and, we did some benchmarkings and the XZ1 was fast on every task! Like opening Instagram or WhatsApp, our XZ1 was some times twice as fast than the iPhone X! :D
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] snake218:
My phone has screen burn in due to the navbar, and a line crossing vertical all screen (don't know why). More noticeable with a gray background, only 2 months of use.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] ASMstudent:
I have the same distortion problem here. I thought it's normal, but the top speaker is flawless with whatever sound quality at whatever volume, so I don't know if it's a hardware issue, software issue or if it's not an issues at all. I looked it up and some people suggested that it might be water or dust trapped in the speaker grill, but cleaning it didn't help.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] ASMstudent:
I received an OTA update today with April's security patch and I think they minimized the distortion problem ( that or I got used to it that I can't tell the difference anymore).
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] moreinfo:
I have a bug about instagram, the app is updated, but everytime I open it the first picture that appears is the last of one hour ago for example, then after one second it updates the feed with the last pictures, in the z2 the same instagram app is ok! It's a bug only with instagram in my xz1 I have 47.1.a.12.75
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] zippy01:
Funny because actually I get that and also problems connecting with my youview box. I thought it may be the apps at fault.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] moreinfo:
another bug, I tried the magnify accessibility, then I turned off and the soft keys are empty with yellow edges, not full white. :mad: I restarted the phone and nothing, the white soft keys are only with the magnify on, or the screen reader on.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Brun0ls:
I have an annoying problem that occurs SOME TIMES.

When I'm swiping down on a web page or something, some times it will think I'm not swiping and it will click on the part that my finger was.

Btw, I'm using a tempered glass screen protector... and before it I was using a gel screen protector, I had the same issue.

Anyone?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] hungvip2001:
Same here. I just buy a new xz1 and buy a grass protector, and some time lag when scroll web, sometime i am scrolling slowly and it scrolls fast.

Can you try remove the protector and test ? I don't have money to buy a new one if it is'nt the problem.

Anyone else ?

Sometimes WiFi stops working and needs to restart the device for it to work again, however this is very infrequent.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] chrisftlse:
I faced this from time to time but instead or rebooting, just turn off and on wifi again and it works.

Since 10 years i was flashaholics, then decided to keep tjis one pure stock. Mainly for business purpose and constrainsts.

But I am very very pleased of this device as it is robust, long battery life and Good Sony manufacturing

Ontem tentei instalar outra rom em meu smartwatch a1 e agora o touch não funciona, em outras roms ele ficou invertido e somente em uma mesmo invertido funcionou o touch, mas agora achei uma que fica normal mas o touch parou, teria algum tipo de configuração pra ser feita no Flashtools que ajudasse nesse quesito ou de certa forma agora ficou inutilizável ?

Agradeço a todos que puderem ajudar !
