Xperia xz3 android 10 (hopefully fix?)

Hey guys, it's me again.

Finally some good news.

The latest 52.1.A.2.1 build seems to fix mostly everything, but you have to install it correctly and change some options.

Before you gonna start I recommend to make a backup of your internal storage (it's gonna be deleted).

Once you've done your backup do these steps:

1. Settings - System - Advenced - Reset options - Erase all data (factory reset)

2. DON'T configure the phone, don't login into google or anything else, basically just wait until startup only.

3. Install Sony PC Companion on your PC, once you've done that, connect the phone to the PC (try using original USB-C cable and make sure it's connected straight to the motherboard at the back, avoid connecting the USB to the front panel, it seems stupid but it's really making a difference)

4. When Sony PC companion recognises xperia XZ3 press "software repair" button

5. Now go through the instructions shown on the screen.

6. When everything is done wait until xz3 starts up

7. Configure everything like google and everything what you should during a first boot.

8. When home screen appears, go into the Settings-About phone-build number (type 5 times until developer options will show up)

9. Go into developer options (settings - system - developer options) and change:

-Logger Buffer Sizes - 1 M per log buffer (you

don't have to change this option but it seems to

run better while using for couple of days)

-Tethering hardware acceleration - OFF (fixing

some apps crashes

(chrome for example), fixing random animation

lags and some other things, just making device

rock stable)

10. Go into Settings - Apps&notifications - Advenced - Special app access -

Power-saving feature - select "all apps" - search

for:

"FingerprintExtensionService" - tap, set "don't

optimise" then "done" - It's turning off battery

savings for fingerprint, because of that it's

working well all the time even if STAMINA mode

is enabled

*This option is also usable for online music apps (spotify, dizz, tidal) Why? Because when you're listening to music in the background with STAMINA mode enabled, your music won't load due to mobile data savings.

11. Reboot the device and use it as you usually do.

Also remember that, features like NFC, BT, Mobile data, printing services and location are turned on after first startup, turn them off to have better battery life.

I think that's it. I've tested this method on 2 devices, both working great now.

Cheers guys I hope I will be able to help you, if something is wrong feel free to ask

Let me know, peace

Care to try this on 52.1.A.3.20?
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Guides, News, & Discussion] 180200:
Latest build for Me & My friend is 52.1.A.2.1.

When I'll get an update I'm goin' to do my best to let all of you be happy because it's really great and very unliked phone in my opinion.

Sorry for that I'm not doing tests and experiments like that as quick as I can, but I'm using My XZ3 as a daily phone.

For now I'm hard focused to run gesture navigation, but nothing for now, even forcing it from ADB doesn't work.

52.1.A.3.20

I've got an 52.1.A.3.20 update this morning.

I've just checked the most annyoing bugs, and they are finally fixed!

Fingerprint is working perfectly (thats weird, but even in my plastic gloves at work My XZ3 can recognise My finger!!) So I thing they had to improve the sensitivity. Finally.

And the "speaker mode" is also fixed. Before, when I turned on the voice chat in ML or PUBG only the bottom speaker was working and I couldn't hear the game, only the players. The same was when I was connected via BT headset, also fixed now omg finally. Idk how about dirty update, I did clean in the same way I described before. Some of you can try and let us now if it works after updating from the phone.

I bought my 8416 Pre-owned from GAME, Unlocked it from Vodafone, then flashed it with latest UK Generic rom from xperifirm and NewFlasher 13, then did a software repair through XP Comanion. and a Factory reset.. working great now on 3.20 :)

Companion fixes everything.. :)

Hello I forward my request over here, I am pleased about numerous contributions:

Hello I'm new, greet everyone, great performance to you, I have searched through, I also found rk3368 px5 pages for me, but maybe you can answer my questions better here?

See also pictures.

I would like to spruce up my new system with functions and a 360 degree view display with automatic switching. Is that possible?

I bought a system with 360 degrees, only it says that I have to connect it to the DVD input, but it is occupied by entertainment DVD players and font displays!

And if I connect it to the reverse camera, it only works with the reverse gear!

I would like to work one by one to get closer to my goal, would you help me?

Android 10 is here! You can now update to 52.1.A.0.532.

Dark mode is here! Launcher was not updated, so no gestures, and things like the Google search bar stay light in dark mode as a result. Recent apps / multitasking is the same as it was on Pie.

Digital Wellbeing and other Android 10 goodies are of course available.

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] tyrael11:
Got the Update today. Xperia XZ2 Compact.

Immediately after the update process i noticed a significant drop in microphone volume (microphone sensitivity) when recording voice messages.

Can somebody confirm this systemwide issue?

If yes, is there a non-root solution or even a new setting involved?

(My volume settings are all at maximum)

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] iggyone:
Fingerprint is super annoying. Sometimes it takes 2 to 3 seconds to unlock my phone and there are times I can't unlock it at all.

Bypass is to wake up phone by unlock key and then place finger on fingerprint reader - then it works without delay :/
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Haldi4803:
the Update takes AGES to install -.-
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] AlvinZahran98:
(+)

- my XZ2 feels a lot smoother than on the laggy pie.

- Battery Care is just like the one inside Xperia 1 and 5.

- RAM Management is significantly better than on pie.

- Digital wellbeing.

(-)

- No gesture navigations.

- Dark mode isn't that dark.

- Some stock apps still don't support dark mode.

- The touch sound isn't as pleasant sounding as the one before.

- The lockscreen clock is centred when there's no notification.

- feels half-baked.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DUMIY:
You cand bypass this by activating ambient display when phone is lifted. The sensor works just like before.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] bromanbro:
Did they fix the minimum brightness on 10? The minimum display brightness is still way too bright on Pie.....
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DUMIY:
If you choose super-vivid mode in color gamut options, the background from dark mode will be darker. Hope it helps.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Laicure:
oh same here too. :/

also, disabling apps via adb auto re-enables after a reboot.

so I cannot disable swiftkey anymore.

+ carrier services cannot be disabled via settings anymore (via adb only but same as above)

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Laicure:
Always do a "software repair" (clean flash) via Xperia Companion every major update/upgrade.

Anyway, the fingerprint really became slow.. ugh..
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] tyrael11:
I don't know. At least i am not the only one with Low Microphone record volume (sensitivity). Some others german users on others forums report exactly the same issues with the microphone.

Didn't find any solution.

Maybe they ported the 10 update from x3 or x2 too quickly and didn't adjust the mic sensitivity specific for the x2c which results in this low record Volume for f.e. voice messages. -.-
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] AlvinZahran98:
The issue with fps for me is only when I lock the phone and then immediately press my finger on the fps (it doesn't register my finger at all, I have to wait for at least 2 seconds before putting my finger there after locking).

Oh and one more thing that I like about this update, the new animations are really pleasant to look at, even though some elements from versions before android 10 are still there.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] rdx2019:
I'm always wary of downloading updates for any reason for fear of breaking things.

I regret downloading this update so far on my regular XZ2, in north america.

problems I've noticed:

Fingerprint sensor either doesn't work or works sometimes or sometimes slow

BATTERY DRAIN: this is the worst for me, drains at 2x faster than before with no new apps or anything added after update. I'm used to getting 2 days easily on single charge, about 9 hrs screen time or about 1hr of screentime every 10% of battery life. Now I barely get a day on full charge and barely 30min of screentime every 10% of battery used.

What else can i disable after update ?

Pretty much most apps were either uninstalled or disabled on Android 9.

I disabled background data/battery on 173 apps which is almost all the apps on the phone other than text/phone and few other essential apps.

Are there some new apps that invaded with android 10 , that weren't there before that should be disabled ?

I use square home 3 launcher, and that's behaving different, have to press home twice now to get home.

Overall, phone seems to be a little snappier when clicking on things but maybe its just an impression.

With the Update my microphone got very quiet.

This Was yesterday, I switched my XZ2 off for the night > and today the microphone does not work anymore.

There is no function at all.

Do you think a factory Rest could solve this?

I did not root this Phone because of the camera issue, I read abot it here - and now a simple Android Update Destroys the mic?!

Is the camera preview issue fixed in Android 10?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] axescot:
I will chime in here. I have a Sony Xperia XZ2 which did a system update 2 days ago. Since then, there have been a few bugs. For example, when I receive a call on the Messenger app when the phone is locked, it rings but I have to open the app to be able to answer the phone. In the past, it would show up on the entire screen with 'accept' and 'decline' options. Another example, the clock is set to snooze every 10 minutes, however it rings after 1 minute and then every 10 minutes. Lastly, the fingerprint sensor has been less sensitive. There have been other things but were resolved with a restart.

Upgrading to Android 10 means no support for NFC direct file sharing which is a real bummer.

My Girlfriend has the XZ2 and she is also having a problem with stutter playing Amazon Prime Video over MiraCast, it used to work flawlessly.

My Xperia 1 stutters audio playing Amazon Prime stuff that is downloaded on the device or streamed, having tried casting. I'm kind of annoyed about this because both of these phones are multimedia powerhouses, my old Z5 Premium still does these tasks flawlessly. I generally use the Z5 Premium for this type of thing anyway since it was the last of the Xperia line to do MHL.

Anyway you need to fullwipe

So fullwipe first and look if the 10.0 ROM still has problems
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] twistedddx:
For my hotspot/wifi tether issues that began with Android 10 update I have found:

If I have wifi enabled and then turn on hotspot which auto turns off wifi during hotspot.

I get 100% failure of hotspot with popup error message on xz2 "Tethering error Error occurred during tethering".

This error shows up within 10-30 seconds of enabling hotspot.

If I have wifi disabled and then turn on hotspot.

I get roughly 50% success. If I get a failure I just re-enable hotspot again (and again if needed) and it normally works. Failure might be related to location services enabling wifi randomly?

So if you want to use hotspot remember to manually turn off wifi and do not depend on the auto wifi off feature.

If you updated to Android 10 and really depend on hotspot function I hope this info helps you!
