I just got the OTA update to 47.2.A.8.24 on my G8142 and I'm still getting frozen apps on screen unlock, as I have in many apps since the Pie update. Anyone else getting this?

How it happens:

1. Open app.

2. Screen off.

3. Screen on.

4. Sometimes: App's screen doesn't update any more until you switch to another app and back (but still registers clicks/swipes as if the app were running fine, you just can't see any changes on-screen). Swipe down from top still opens the notifications panel but just opening that and going back to the app doesn't fix it. Going to Home and back or application switcher and back does fix it.

I've had this happen in Bumble, Tinder, OS Settings, Chrome (except there the web page goes black instead of maintaining the previous screen), Piktures (black screen instead of maintaining the image, like Chrome), Timely (where the countdown timer is still running, just the screen isn't updating to show that), Play Store, and Acrobat Reader.

In all cases, the app isn't actually frozen and you can still blindly take actions, you just can't see the result of those actions until to switch away and back.

Anyone else get this? Happens to me multiple times per day.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] LSS4181:
Say, is there any region other than CN that doesn't include Google (and up-to-date)? I looked at several regions (GEL, MM, VN, SA, AE) and didn't find one. Currently CN region is still at 6.30 and I've been waiting for ages since 8.24 and now 10.28... and if I want to go to a newer eXistenZ version (or other kernels) I'll definitely need at least 8.24 from now.

The reason is, I want to isolate stock Google from the system (because it's so bloated with like Chrome, Gmail, Drive and a lot more that I don't want or I prefer an open source alternative)... While I still need to run GApps (only because of Wear OS, if microG had matured enough I'd have ditched it already), I'd be using tools like MagicGApps (with OpenGApps pico, which is what I've already been doing on 6.30 CN for eXistenZ 4.0) so I can be in control of what Google components I want to have on the device this way, that I'll have only the GApps components I need and that's it.

But after a detailed diff between the CN region and other regions I realized it's not possible. Compared with CN region, I found there were several system components that have been "infested" to work with Google Services (System apps whose names begin with Google, implying that portions of its functionality are stubs that would be redirected to Google Services. On CN region, they were replaced with a non-Google, or sometimes country-specific variant, but in overall free from Google Services). Simply debloating stock Google stuffs would have a high probability of breaking the system.

EDIT (Apr 15, 2019): The 10.28 is finally out for CN region while other regions got 10.45 at the same time. Like last time, the region skipped 8.24.

47.2.A.10.45 update, downloading via OTA
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] LaceeWearsPrada:
New update!

10.62 :)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] mad0701:
It's in depend of which region is installed on your phone. E. g. the phone of my wife (non rooted, original stock Region DBT receive in a normal case earlier Updates, as my phone Region CE1. I received just version 10. 45. My wife has received this one 2 weeks ago and 1 update in between. Yesterday she received another higher version (10.62) which is not available till now for CE1
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] rlowens:
So I finally got around to resetting my phone, and just ran into the "screen not updating when screen turned on" IN THE SETUP STEPS! Anyone else getting this in apps? Again, the problem seems to be:

1. Open app.

2. Screen off.

3. Screen on.

4. Sometimes: App's screen doesn't update any more until you switch to another app and back (but still registers clicks/swipes as if the app were running fine, you just can't see any changes on-screen). Swipe down from top still opens the notifications panel but just opening that and going back to the app doesn't fix it. Going to Home and back or application switcher and back does fix it.

I've had this happen in Bumble, Tinder, OS Settings, Chrome (except there the web page goes black instead of maintaining the previous screen), Piktures (black screen instead of maintaining the image, like Chrome), Timely (where the countdown timer is still running, just the screen isn't updating to show that), Play Store, and Acrobat Reader.

In all cases, the app isn't actually frozen and you can still blindly take actions, you just can't see the result of those actions until you switch away and back.

Edit: I reset again and didn't restore anything to confirm that this wasn't related to any setting that was being restored and it definitely happens without restoring any settings. One app that was easy to test with was https://apkpure.com/buck-legacy-calculator/com.turokevie.bucklegacy which exhibits the problem after just a few screen off-on cycles (pressing buttons makes the update sound but doesn't update the screen). Also I noticed that I had to completely disable the screen lock to have this problem, since the Swipe to Unlock setting presents an app screen (the swipe screen) when you turn on the screen and thus has to switch to the previous app when you swipe, avoiding the problem. But I hate having to swipe to unlock.

Also confirmed that these 2 bugs weren't due to my phone settings:

TextNow and 2nd Line phone apps don't work on wireless data, only on WiFi (can send and receive texts but outgoing and incoming calls don't work at all).

Grindr also won't use wireless data (chat's say Disconnected if you aren't on WiFi).

Seriously considering downgrading to Oreo.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] mad0701:
If you have some apps, which doesn't (or looks like frozen) update on Homescreen (Launcher) etc.... go into the settings, select Apps, select the App with this behavior and disable the Akku optimization in the settings for this App.

I've need also a little bit time to recognize, which beautiful widgets does not updated the clock, weather and so on

Hong Kong and Taiwan just got September update lol

I can not stop laughing at the statement of sony about 26th pie update :)))
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] burtallicus:
i dont know why you are so impatient about Pie ....i mean i understand, new OS, some new features,bla bla , but my xz1c works verry good with the latest patch

i got almost 5 days of battery with lite/med use and 5 hours of SOT with stamina on wifi on (no facebook) ... and i have no issues with it. (maybe the annoying stamina notification that cannot be permanently turned off )

Who wants to bet that the 1st Pie build will ruin something ? is it worth a new camera UI for a crap battery life and other issues ?

Question : if i turn off automatically updates in developer options , will i get the notification to upgrade to pie? cause i would like to wait for at least 2 builds before i make the switch
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] sargijeh:
Just imagine people from Taiwan and Hong Kong recieved a notification about a system update, they became excited, tapped on it and they saw it is a security patch from nearly two months ago :))
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] danfeng:
anyway, we've already get used to it, always later than other district
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] LaceeWearsPrada:
It's even bad for a joke. Why would they do that? They said that we'll get the update this month, before xz2p.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] sargijeh:
I believed they meant 26th November
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] karrouma:

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] LaceeWearsPrada:

The XZ Premium And XZ1 support pages are updated for Pie!

There are new screenshots that show new things!

New Icons like the XZ3, SDR to HDR conversion, new dialer icon (Hopefully the app is updated but when going to the "receiving a call" section, it says slide to the left to accept a call, instead if the lift to answer on the newer dialer) and more!
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] Lazaros_K:
To add to my previous post, we might have display flash!

It's not sure if this feature will be available when Android Pie is released.

Is that possible? The software is out but noone in the world could update so far.. That's interesting... Sony customer service agents always say that they have already rolled out the update, but you can never update.. How can this happen? Okay... Operators, regions.. But nowhere?! If it's out then somewhere it should be able to update, shouldn't it?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Guides, News, & Discussion] madshark2009:
if the major features in android pie dont exist in our upcoming update for the XZP then what is it really worth?

if the nav bar is still sony style, camera 2api isnt supported as many claimed (i hope they were wrong tho), no themes support then why are waiting impatiently here?

if the new update isnt gonna feel like a new update whats the point?

I do hope at least the UI press sounds are different like the XZ3, and the ringtone and notification sounds have better ringtones and sounds cuz sony so far made really bad ones
