FRP not there, lock or unlock nothing is on my phone.

its going in fastboot mode, recovery mode and downloading mode but there is no firmware in my phone so its restart every time.

my last android version was MHA-L29 8.0.0.373(c185) which i erased by mistake. and i dont have backup. :(

Has anyone been able to find the swipe up home button? Seems they removed it, it used to be on the beta
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] paulle:
The only bug (or is it a feature?) I found till now is the color of the navbar. It's now white (don't like it). Found no way to change it back as before (black background with white symbols) Tried it with the xpreia launcher and the nova launcher.

---------- Post added at 11:12 ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 ----------

Did you get a white navbar too?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] AlvinZahran98:
I think the white navbar icon with white background is not a bug, when you're doing something with your phone and you're not touching the navbar area, the icons in the navbar will fade to an off-white colour. But when you're doing something that involves even just touching the blank parts of the navbar area, the icons will show their true colours.

The real bug is actually the navbar icons are way too close to each other.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] alexandroid5:
I don't think it's a bug, my navbar changes color depending on app. It does go white on Spotify which is all black so it looks bad, but on other apps it does change to black like messages, Twitter or anytime I use the keyboard. I'm guessing the app picks the color unless the app isn't updated so it defaults to white.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] BigBuds808:
I thing they remove it. I dont now why, I hope they bring it with a update.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Steebee:
I guess they will, they just have to rewrite the home app to work with it.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MartinX3:
Yeah, wasn't there a news that the old launcher won't get any more update and will be reworked?

Yes pie ? was the latest release

---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 PM ----------

Niceone sony. I think they are the 1st to release pie this year.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] eelpout:
and crap, as usual my system update OTA is broken and fails to install on my H8296. :p

wonder if flashing a different region's firmware (initially went from Taiwan to India because the TW/HK updates are weeks behind) killed the mechanism. currently on DE and it hasn't made any difference for OTA. On to XperiFirm... Bother.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] janolucero:
Hey my phone has just get the update, is this pie already? :D
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] janolucero:
Ok, yes, is android P already ?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] whiteduck89:
That is a LOT sooner than I expected. Great work Sony!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Outpapa:
Yep! Just installed the update and this is Android Pie. Really fast Sony!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] ehBrY:
Let me ask can you turn off gesture control? What is the navigation like compared to vanilla pie?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] TheLonelyCyborg:
I use Nova Launcher but navigation is like it was before, no gesture navigation like Pixel phones!

But damn that dark notification bar and quick controls panel is boring, all the interface is light and clear except that.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] old.splatterhand:
Pictures please :p
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] TheLonelyCyborg:
There it is. No specific changes at first glance. I'm going to test it on a daily use to see what's new deeper in the system.

Not all Pixel features are available.

Volume slider is a big issue, can't controle ring volume, only media!

And really not a fan of this half light/ half dark theme made in Sony... We should be able to chose which mode we want.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Schattenspieler:
Not very convenient, that you can't expand the volume slider popup to do so - as before.

Also I'ld be cool about the rest, even the bulkier quick controls, if I could try/use gesture controls. But couldn't find any option to activate that.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Dr. Claw:
No gesture nav? Dang it, do you really have to have a Pixel for that?!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] ehBrY:
So glad there isnt gesture control. Sony always mods each build perfectly so we don't have to try out BS 'features'! So glad Sony is back to not being just about pretty hardware.

Anyone here who still hasn't even got the 51.1.A.11.51 update (September security patch)? For some reason my phone is still on 51.1.A.11.26 (August security patch) and just tells me it has the latest available system updates. :confused:

Bought it from amazon.es so it's not like it's my carrier that's "blocking" the updates. It also has more than 50% of space available on internal memory, so that shouldn't be the issue either.

Need help

Hello everyone, I received this update too. But since I installed it, when friends or for work call me on the phone I do not have the time to answer ?! Can anyone help me?

Thank you very much

I updated yesterday, since then the fingerprint sensor doesn't work very well. It used to be very responsive. Anyone else noticed this?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] ehBrY:
That is ugly, and doesnt look useable. As far as the other bugs go and the camera having too many 'enhancements' think its best to stick with the last version of Oreo made. And not.go any further. Its true nowadays, whats old is always better!

But disappointed because of missing feature that google announced for Pie. Gestures, battery's AI, switch dark/light mode ...
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] francois64:
Hi

Yes, i got it installed today.

Haven't noticed any trouble for the moment but i haven't tested a lot of functionality.

What kind of missing feature are you talking about ( Don't know a lot about Pie) ?

Edit : i just forgot to say "thank you" Mr Sony for being so fast.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] koko.fr:
There you can find some new features of Pie https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/new-features-android-pie/
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] FcukBloat:
yes I agree I hate the dark quick settings panel that is barely visibile under sunlight and doesn't match fine with the light settings.apk theme for example.. i don't like new style of qwuick settings buttons but at least keep the white theme of stock android pie... and the fact that to change other volumes you have now to enter the settings - audio menu page is very stupid! my god...

also wifi connection seems less stable than before... how can it be that they didn't test wifi connection deep enough? unbelievable...

---------- Post added at 03:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 PM ----------

try navigation gestures from the app store

I also have wifi issues with PIE and sometimes notifications don't disappear even if I don't read messages in telegram/whatsapp etc lol...
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] real_marsman:
This update has the look and feel of a badly made hobby project. Quick settings do not fit the background and fold open way further than necessary, system-Ui-tuner is gone, fingerprint scanner is WAAAAAY slower. I tried a rollback with flashtool, but ended up with a bootloop. Had to do a repair with Xperia Companion Luckily there were still regions that do not have the Pie update released for yet. Would have been screwed if not. I am now on the SG rom. It has 4G icon and unfortunately the NFC persistent icon. Still better than this beta Pie update. Waiting for the finished one now.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] ehBrY:
Just refuse the update. Its all bad to even wait around for the next pie revision.. Its not worth "upgrading" no matter what.

And custom roms arent such a smart option either. We have to just be content and realize we're not any less secured by refusing updates.

Development has become a lie, even for other OSes.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] papayayoghurt:
You're right, the update is very buggy... But at least the NFC-Icon can easily be removed: adb shell settings put secure icon_blacklist nfc,nfc_on,rotate
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] FcukBloat:
on the web there is a way to access system ui tuner, i did it to hide the alarm icon
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Alaa | Google Android:
You can hide some icons from :

Setting > Display > System icons
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] papayayoghurt:
Not anymore after the update!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] francois64:
What bug are you talking about ?

I Don't have NFC persistent icon.

Fingerprint works as before, didn't feel any change.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] shajk-00:
what I'm noticing after the update is that the touchscreen at times is less responsive to the touch, like for example scrolling through some apps like instagram or even some launchers there's a micro second delay between the touch and the screen response.. don't know if anyone else noticed
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] FcukBloat:
can't see it in pie
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] riolo:
So far not much changed, at least not in a good way. The most annoying thing is the ring volume, you have to go in settings to change it :confused: , VoLTE still not available. Sony says is the carrier that would have it enabled while the carriers would not give a dime about XZ2 compact as its not one of their main sale. VoLTE is not a must in Europe where the networks are very consistent from top of the mountains to the tunnels in Austria or Switzerland but here in the UK the networks are mediocre at their best, way below European standards and Sony's signal strength is far from acceptable . I have colleagues on the same network, EE, with much more cheaper phones that manage to get 2-3 bars when I struggle to get 1. Most probably I will not buy Sony again. This phone, while fantastic in other ways, fails to deliver the most basic...like to make a phone call.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] old.splatterhand:
Tbh, i'm very satisfied with the signal strengh of the xz2c. I have everywhere in my house a good wifi signal (where the HTC 10 i had before, failed at all).

And i'm having constantly strong 4G Lte signal at work, where all of my other phones only got H+. For me, this is a great improvement.

Can't say anything about VoLte.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] riolo:
I don't know what to believe any more. I went today to a repair shop, maybe they have a clue about that VoLTE and they didn't, and the guy was impressed with my phone signal, saying that signal is weak in his shop and majority of the people barely can get 1-2 bars while mine was having 3 bars. And that was out of the blue, before discussing anything about signal strength.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] old.splatterhand:
Lol, thats funny :D
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] papayayoghurt:
Regarding the volume: That's actually great! You never want to change the volume, you just want to change from sound to vibrate, and that's much easier now. I don't know how often i changed the ringtone volume although i wanted to change the media volume.

And regarding signal strengh: The bars show absolutely nothing. I mean, i'm from Austria so i'm pretty spoiled but i heard many times that Sony is known for showing 1 or 2 bars at signal strengths (in dB), while other companies still show all bars at the same strength.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] boulderjoe:
Is anyone using a version of this in the US yet? If so, which Market rom are you using, since US is on 51.1.A.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] louloudi:
Funny thing is that the information about the next version of the software (9.0) has disappeared from the help center. Sony paused OTA and started fixing bugs/errors?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] mxvtt:
I reverted to the stock firmware of Android 8 and I don't think I will ever need the Pie. Even if they correct the sticky navigation buttons, quick access buttons, battery performance and wifi problems, I still find it outrageous to move the clock to the left for some imaginary not-experia-related benefits of Google and downgrade volume buttons.

I got a call from Sony Europe (they called me to Moscow from Greece, I think), I told them the problems they could not correct via support .
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] FcukBloat:
can I ask you why you don't like the clock on the left? for me that's the only nice thing I found in pie! :p (i don't like it on the right cause there are too many icons there, though actually for me the best location for the clock is in the middle, with date also shown)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] mxvtt:
Because the clock has been on the right since the very beginning of mobile era, since those old Nokia phones and it has became industry standard. It is like you wear a watch on one hand all your life.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] mrkubix:
From my expirience so far - the Pie is better.

My battery life did not change at all, camera app and volume control is better.

Also I like the new leyout, and the notification animation.

I do not see any performance change in using my phone.

The only thing I miss is the option for gesture control, but mabye it will arrive later.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] mblacki:
Bluetooth is fixed in update. Before it would briefly lose connection in my car, or blip silence every minute or so. Now it's perfect and I'm stoked to be able to use it again!
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Raphos:
Hi,

Bluetooth works for me too.

Did someone test USB-C to HDMI and Display Port ?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] TheLonelyCyborg:
And I got white quick settings panel last night, without doing anything!

Maybe they are implementing things over time without deploying a whole version.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] FcukBloat:
how you got it like that? with a SW update?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] TheLonelyCyborg:
No I just woke my phone up and that was white. I didn't do anything.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] FcukBloat:
very strange i don't understand how is that possible. others got this too? it is white for all now?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] whiteduck89:
The QS panel colour may be impacted by the background. I think a light background may bring out the white QS, which is what Pixel phones do.

Interesting to note, I have received Pie, and up until a few days ago, Customized AU was on the Pie list. I checked XperiCheck today (https://xpericheck.com/device/H8314) and Customized AU is no longer there. The Pie update has been pulled for Australia.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] AgentOrange96:
For me, I'm not a fan because that's where notifications should be. But I'm with you on that I actually prefer it Apple style in the middle. On my old phone I had put it in the middle, since I was running a custom ROM on it.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Alaa | Google Android:
Hi bro

Did you changed the wallpaper ?

It's based on the wallpaper if it's ( Dark or White ).

See this :

https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/...k-light-launcher-themes-debuts-android-p-dp4/

Sony should add this option like Google...

and it's old ( with 8.1 )

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] TheLonelyCyborg:
No man I didn't do anything, neither change the theme or wallpaper. It came just by waking my phone up.

Even when changing wallpapers for dark/light ones it keeps being white now.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] FcukBloat:
