I have been following comments on a Sony forum and it was suggested that turning off "hardware accelerated tethering" found in developer options has helped some in terms of slow response and freezing. Not ideal having to turn features off but if it helps short term it could be worth trying.

It does not solve all issues and having not updated, I cannot comment on my experience but if it helps anyone here, it's worth a mention. :)

I've not received OTA update here in India. Is it possible to flash a foreign stock rom without wiping data? And does this require bootloader unlock?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] etac88:
Hi, received today the notification about the update.

Now it is safe to upgrade? No bugs?

Thank you
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] the fez:
same here in italy.

can we install the new firmware or is it better to wait again?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] etac88:
Hi the fez, yes I am italian :)

I just want to be sure that this is the fixed update
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] robert_jacketti:
it depends if it's the same version (52.1.A.0.532) or an updated version, if it's 52.1.A.0.532 I wouldn't update.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] etac88:
Yes, it seems that it is the same versione (with the same number), but updated with bug fixes:

Hello! Bad news... I received this answer from Sony.

"Thank you for contacting Sony Support.

We inform you that unfortunately we are still investigating the problems encountered with the new update.

We remain at your disposal."

So, Sony knows that there is bugs, and now? What can we do?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] the fez:

i really don't need a laggy phone...
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] etac88:
You can stop the notification, you can stop closing the update app from the system app list.

Obviously, if you reboot, you need to do that again.

I've update two days ago, i've same problems, what a mess.....
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] odiad:
Deactivation of Google app:

I couldn't find the post again, but somebody wrote anywhere that he deactivated Google app, and that the fingerprint sensor was not laggy after that.

I just tried it too. The fingerprint sensor is really a bit faster, but not all the time.

More interesting is that battery consumption is much smaller. Before deactivation my phone needed in average approx 3% per hour or more when display is off. In the last two hours with deactivated Google app it was just 0.6% per hour.

Maybe this is a way to improve battery life until Sony bring new update, even if it is less convenient without Google app.

This was just the result of a short test. I can not say if better battery life keeps stable for a longer time.

My phone just keeps getting slower and laggier. will a factory reset fix it?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] dottormanera:
Nope
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] robert_jacketti:
I did it, and it was snappier for a couple of days but it just starts freezing again often, and I have to reboot twice a day to keep it working at all.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] dottormanera:
I'm not happy about this...i hope that they will fix early.

There are some problems, freezing of apps, battery, touch id....
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] bertus_f:
No problems after updating

I updated yesterday morning to Android 10 (52.1.A.0.532) and have no problems at all! Fingerprint is working and as fast as before, the battery is acting normal, and I have no freezes. My camera didn't respond directly after the update, but after a reboot, there were no problems at all. I have to say that I had uninstalled/disabled ALL Google and Sony apps and bloatware before updating. Only Google Services is active but only with the Physical Activity permission turned on (can't turn it off; notifications keep coming when disabled). I use Nova launcher instead of the default Sony launcher. BTW: my device is not unlocked or rooted. Maybe that helps...
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] cryss83:
my phone is also pretty "genuine"...no unlocks, no roots...still i have these issues...wait a little (a week or so without rebooting and see what happens...)

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] robert_jacketti:
fingers crossed, did you get it?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] rockpaper:
not yet. just saw it on xperiafirm
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] mr1uke:
I already have the update 52.1.A.0.618. Everything is working good so far but it is too early to judge.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] robert_jacketti:
I've received and installed the update, will report later!

1. Fingerprint issue is not fixed

2. Receiving calls on 4g is not fixed (Tele2 in Netherlands)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] cryss83:
I can second that...

- Fingerprint sensor is still slow

- WhatsApp audio messages still hard to understans due to low volume
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] robert_jacketti:
I contacted Sony support via the chat in the app. they told me that I can send it in for repairs.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] tyrael11:
Still have

- mic Volume problems while recording voice Messages in WhatsApp (Volume too Low)

Updated after factory Reset and with Xperia companion
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] rockpaper:
does any of you experience no media audio while on an ongoing call? the audio on the call is fine but you cant hear any media audio like on spotify.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] cryss83:
To be fair: i've never had any spotify during an ongoing call... Not on sony nor on samsung.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] robert_jacketti:
As I expect, when I use media sound it pauses when I'm on a call and resumes after.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] odiad:
I updated yesterday to 52.1.A.0.618. I can confirm too low volume of microphone in WhatsApp voice messages, and no improvement of fingerprint sensor (still laggy). Up to now I didn't find more problems.

Positive is - at least after one day testing - battery consumption is much better. For me it feels similar than Android 9. I hope it stays stable...
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] YammyDVY:
So the verdict is still don't update to 10?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] robert_jacketti:
That's correct

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] odiad:
I need to change my comment about battery life/consumption after update. Yesterday it was fine (first day after update), but today it is again worse (4% per hour with display off). So this is same level than before update to 52.1.A.0.618.

Greetings Odiad

what a bad news... new firmware still buggy! damn. i'll wait another fix and i'll continue use android 9

since xperia z (passing trought xperia z1c, z3c, z5c) never happened this troubles for the firmwares...

i'm so disappointed
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] bertus_f:
I have installed Android 10 a week ago. And of course installed the update with rebooting. Still no problem at all.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] robert_jacketti:
I rolled back using the xperia software tooling (EMMA) glad to have my fingerprint and 4g calls working again.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] hakutakun:
This appeared for me when they rolled out Android 10 and annoyed me a lot as I often make use of it... As of the latest update 52.1.A.0.618 it has been fixed.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] cryss83:
Does the phone have to be unlocked? How did you proceed?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] robert_jacketti:
Let me start by telling you that in the end it didn't help.

I unlocked the bootloader, and used EMMA from sony to load an older version. And at first it seemed better but I still couldn't receive 4g phone calls and the phone started to lag with a few days. So I tried a custom rom, which failed miserably. so now I'm on stock android 10 again with unlocked bootloader, and ordered a new phone because I'm just fed up
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] cryss83:

3-12-2020 update

USA Sony H8314 XZ2c model

Auto updated to 52.1.A.0.618 (Android 10) yesterday evening.

Altho very leery about potential outcome...So far all is good.

Battery life over night loss was 20% for 8 hours, about usual.

Transitions and Apps are very snappy....actually seem faster than in Android 9

Fingerprint open from standby (no power button press) seems the same and perfectly acceptable.

Speaker sound is fine

Bluetooth connects fine

Camera working fine

GPS is fine

So far no issues to speak of. Am checking out new Android 10 settings and looking for bugs. But so far...no problems. If I find something I'll check back in.

Good luck to all.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] hgoldner:
Thanks, I'm inclined to take the plunge. Got the notification last night of the update.

[UPDATE] So far no issues whatsoever detected.

I hope it will arrive soon also in Italy... (now i've got yet 52.1.a.0.532)
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] teostar:
I got the update last night. And it's a mixed bag. It's been ok so far. Odd bugs I've noticed is the screen doesn't wake for some incomings calls sometimes and then stays black when you move it from your ear.

Also theres the version number on the bottom of the notification shade. I thought that only happens on beta is. :confused:

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] sersel2:

[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Magchild:
I also updated

I also updated USA H8314 XZ2c, .618. There was a lot of lag and battery drain. I then used the Xperia Companion to do a clean system repair and did not restore from backup, and now it works great. Yes, it took quite a bit of time to reinstall all the apps and set their permissions, but it runs really well, and gave me the time to do some spring cleaning after two Android OS updates.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I did the same thing. Software wise everything runs great and battery life seems to have improved. Are you having the touch screen issues others seem to report on this thread?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Magchild:
No, the touch screen is responsive enough for me, and I even have a glass screen protector that probably reduces the sensitivity.
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] odiad:
Hi. Somebody wrote about too low microphone sensitivity in whatapp. Recorded voice messages were not loud enough.

It seems that in whatapp video calls it is the same. The person I video-called has complained that the volume is too low (even if his phone is set to maximum volume).

Can anybody confirm that Problem?

Greetings Odiad
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] robert_jacketti:
Yes I have this issue when the phone is on speaker mode, so video calling with any app too. I always use a headset because of this
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] francoisr:
What is Android TV support for "irregular" display resolutions?

I cannot find the answer anywhere online so I turn to the experts. I found conflicting answers, most to the negative, but no definitive explanation.

The story:

I recently bought an ultra wide monitor (Samsung S34J550 with 21:9, 3440x1440 WQHD resolution) to work from home that I occasionally would like to use as a smart TV in the living room, without hooking a PC and HDMI cable to it. Currently I can see some Netflix movie in full screen when played from my PC via HDMI to the Samsung monitor. For convenience, I'm looking for a PC-less solution where I would remotely control the device. I'm ready to buy an Amazon Fire Stick 4K or any other Android TV device, or a ChromeCast as long as I can leverage the full ultra width for 21:9 movie playback.

Would any Android stick adapt to a WQHD resolution? Or only 4K sticks? Amazon Fire 4K? Google ChromeCast? None of the above? And if not, what are my options?

Alternatively, a lower 21:9 resolution would still fine with me for movie watching. Like 1/4 of full resolution: 1720x720.

TIA
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] tomuxi:
Same

I have exactly the same situation, 3440x1440 display, and it is annoying to be forced to use a laptop for proper 21:9 watching experience.

Support for wide formats is needed for Android TV.

I am using Xiaomi's Xi Box S as it claimed to have support up to 4K resolutions. Unfortunately only regular 16:9 modes seem to be supported so have to use it at 1080p only.

[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] btrax:
Hi guys

So in 2017, I bought an Andrid HU with an Intel Sofia SoC ( Joying JY-VM130N2D) for my Volkswagen.

It still works but there is some annoying bug and now i'm quiet bored of that. So I want to know what's the news on the Android HU scene.

-As I remember, the Intel SoC can boot approx. 5 sec after turn on the car and the RKXXX is always 30 sec ? How it is now ?

-Now I can see PX6, MTCE etc... what's the updates between the old one ?

-What's pro and con's between Intel and Rockchip ? It seems, there is more people who develop on RK than Intel

-Which company I should use to look for a new HU? Joying seems to stay with Intel Soc and i Don't know the brand like Xtrons, EUNAVI...

Cheers guys and happy new year !!
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] marchnz:
Perhaps tabulate from questions, not sure owners of one head unit will know how the shyte JY units compare to the MTC units.

Perhaps read the wiki and compare against the rubbish Unit you have.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] btrax:
Thanks I was looking for a wiki :) I looked in the wrong section ^^
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] homer.ali:
As I understand it the current market is still Intel vs rockchip.

With RK you're still at px5/px6 which as you say, have really good community support.

Px5 and px6 headunits have come a long way. Boot time is 30 seconds from cold boot and less than one second from standby, which is the default state that the unit goes into when you turn off your car. Power drain in this standby mode is negligible and I've left my car without starting it for 3 weeks in this mode.. car started right up as did the head unit.

Biggest issue with the px6 headunits right now for me is the internet.. basically the WiFi on these units is still crap regardless of the brand you try, no matter what anyone tries to tell you or clever hardware hacks you try.

And if you want a dedicated mobile line you're forced to rely on a 4g dongle or your phones hotspot as the tablets dont support native sim cards.

The 4G dongle solution is also passable at best, after a lot of fiddling and some software level hacks. (See my post about 4g dongles on these units for example)

On the Intel side, there are new airmont based HU (sc9853i) with dsp and native 4G sim card support.

These are pretty good and are quoted to be 30% faster than their px6 counterparts.

In my opinion the biggest issue with these is not the lack of community support but how they fit in cars. Basically where the tablet attaches to the headunit is just a push tab that's not adjustable. Comparing to the px6 counterparts which are usually rotatable or at least adjustable up and down

https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/...ying-android-8-1-intel-airmont-eight-t3897206

Also worth noting in the px6 world is the new Tesla style headunits. They're a little more expensive but 12.9 inches and seem to have excellent community support with a dedicated, active Facebook page. They seem to still have the PX6 issues with 4G internet though their WiFi antenna doesn't suffer from the same Bluetooth interference that the other units get.

https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/android-head-units/tesla-style-headunits-t3512709/amp/

https://m.facebook.com/groups/tesla.style.FW.HU/

For my money, the perfect headunit that I'm holding out for is 12.9 inches with rotatable mount like the Tesla units but using airmont hardware with the native 4G support.

Of course, all of the above is my opinion only gained through my own personal experience with each of these units. Its entirely possible that someone else's experience my contradict mine. Also, the market is vast and I think I did a good job combing it but it's very possible that I missed some other type of headunit. If so I'd love to know so I can see if it fits my needs.

Hope this helps!
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] btrax:
Thanks for the info.

I was looking for Tesla style HU but I think it won't fit in my car and it's quite expensive.

What i'm looking for now it's the dasaita MAX6, which seems to be the best product. I see a lot of other product which correspond for me but i'm quite sceptic about the quality of these and dasaita seems to be a better choice.

The phone went into bootloop randomly, it loops at the cyanogen intro and sometimes after the android is optimizing message. I can go into recovery(cyanogen), it has no option to connect to a pc or anything similar. It shows option to enter bootloader, install update from storage etc. I want to recover the images, videos from the device and don't care if i'm unable to use the device after recovering it. Couldn't install twrp as the device doesn't show up in fastboot devices, i'm guessing this is due to usb debugging and such other options not turned on. But i can't do these now as the device is stuck in a bootloop. Is it possible to recover the data or all i can do is flash rom using qfil and lose my data??
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strongst:
Hello, seems your bootloader isn't unlocked and you have the stock recovery, no custom recovery like twrp. So your device cannot be recognized by adb when you have it not enabled.

Try to shut it off by pressing the power button for some time and try to charge it full, then switch on. Also clearing cache in stock recovery can help.
