[Sony Xperia 1 III] WarVic[NZ]:
I wish I could roll back to Android 11. I'm dealing with annoying bug when I can't access top menu and huge, infinite notification window comes up. It's especially piss me off when I watch Youtube and somehow autorotation button switches off itself. Never had a flagship phone in the past with such annoying and still unresolved bugs.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Evil_Sephiroth:
That's related to your phone/OTA probably. Try to factory reset the phone or flash again the FW
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Thisismyringtone:
i recently bought this phone i did all the updates and couldnt do anything it would randomly soft reboot on whatever app i was on i couldnt load the camera it was and instant freeze and reboot. i factory reset like 7 times and did the xperia companion thing twice and same issue i actually had to conact amazon and get another device sent out. I have recieved it and havent updated to Android 12 because of all the issues. Phone is working beautiful. Also scared to update to android 12 lol
[Sony Xperia 1 III] bountyman334:
Use a pc and download xperifirm ware. Exe and you would be able to downgrade. But you'll lose your internal storage files
[Sony Xperia 1 III] doubleduh:
I also have major issues with this update it seems on Xperia 5 III. Every few days there are problems with video playing, it just stops playing videos in every app (YouTube, CinemaPro, Chrome), and is very unresponsive when that happens. Also the background changes to I think the default (mountains with pink/purple sky and I can't set it back to the animated one. All is fine again after a reboot, but every few days the same issue happens again. I didn't have any issues with Android 12 on it before this update.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] decomposed:
Strange to hear. I updated my 1 III to android 12 via OTA and I do not have all those issues mentioned here.

Also, both android 11 and 12 my battery was very bad especially when on 3G / 4G. Switched off 5G as this one was drama in terms of battery. Still 3G / 4G was very bad on 12 gor a very long time. Suddenly since 3 days it improved a lot and I wonder why. I didn't uninstall any of the apps and still using my phone same way.

Anyway sony should be looking into battery improvements especially when using carrier network.

Other than that there was no any update since then, even Feb security patch is not there.

I also hope sony will continue updating its internal apps like camera (why in Photo Pro there is no possibility to record video without sound? In past there was a button to turn sound recording of video on and off. It's no longer there).

:(
[Sony Xperia 1 III] WarVic[NZ]:
This is one of my complaints about Xperia phones, especially very expensive ones - abysmal updates rate. I believe that SOny is the worst in this regard righ now.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] JDC2389:
No magisk for now, last working Magisk for me was on android 11 with 24.2, the updates after cause bootlooping and I always eventually get bootloop with magisk on a12(this version).
[Sony Xperia 1 III] kevinmcmurtrie:
I was walking downtown today any my XQ-BC62 lost all connectivity while showing full bars of 5G. SignalCheck showed 5G-NR 2600, DL 2539.35 MHz plus LTE B66, UL 1712.6 MHz, DL 2112.6 MHz. There was no 5G upload frequency.

Had to turn off 5G to get it working. On the way home it had one bar of LTE where there are actually many bands of good quality to choose from (as seen on a better phone). I need to bug Sony Support a lot more. Maybe I can bug them enough to get a refund.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] kevinmcmurtrie:
Update: Sony Support now claims that the XQ-BC62 only works with Verizon. W.T.F.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] roadrunner_muc:
even after the latest update 61.1.A.4.78 i still experience an annoying bug, that drives me nuts: sometimes the first swipe down after receiving a notification pulls the quick menu down all the way and not half way. that happens mostly after unlocking the device. does anybody experience the same issue or - better - know a solution or workaround? i had no problems at all with android 11. i even tried a firmware repair via xperia companion but that didn`t help either. thank for your feedback an your help!
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Ndlelex:
I have not heard of that issue from anyone else yet.

However, I must say that I had a similar perception of that after the Android 12 update hit a couple of months ago. I had been used to the standard gesture where you'd swipe down once and the notification pad fills up just part of the screen, requiring another swipe doewn to reveal the whole thing. Now, you swipe down once and the whole screen is basically covered by the notification pad, through which you can then scroll if you have many notifications. a second swipe drapes the quick settings pad over the screen.

If this is what you are seeing, then it's not an issue ; rather a poorly communicated upgrade to the way we access notifications. Otherwise, you would be having a proper issue, in which case I would advise you to claim warranty on your set; I would just have you make sure that it's not the confusing notification access at play before you do that.

Btw I can also confirm this behaviour.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] roadrunner_muc:
Thank you all for your feedback. Much appreciated.

Indeed I am not alone with this issue. I posted in a German forum and at least four other users confirmed the bug: https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/...y-xperia-1-iii-android-12-rollout.994833.html

Here is another interesting thread at reddit, concerning this topic:

https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/qdkjwb

I wrote an email to the German Sony Support, but their answers or advices were absolutely ridiculous. It is totally clear, that the Android 12 update is responsible for this bug, wIth Android 11 my Xperia 1 III worked perfectly...

If anybody knows a workaround for that problem, please let me know.

Greeting to all!
[Sony Xperia 1 III] bruno.cl88:
I have the same issue on my 1 iii in the US.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] kevinmcmurtrie:
Does it matter what app is running? I get random fingerprint and screen touches when certain apps are in the foreground. I literally can't keep the phone locked while OsmAnd is running. It looks a lot like a hardware defect; electrical noise.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] Evil_Sephiroth:
It's really difficult.

Even Apple offer no assistance if the problem could be related to third party app. Also OsmAnd here in the italian community is known for creating lot of problem
[Sony Xperia 1 III] kevinmcmurtrie:
That's just one example. Bromite causes lots of phantom screens taps, even on navigation buttons and the quick menu. Sometimes I pick the phone up from the table at it says I've run out of fingerprint reader attempts.

None of my apps have permission to do these things - it originates from outside the app.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] SirRobin78:
Anyone else with problems regarding the missing mute icon in the status bar? If i switch the ring tone to silent, no icon is shown - only if the do not disturb mode is enabled. Is that working as designed or another bug?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] jaseman:
I do see the mute icon when enabled, as well as the vibrate icon when that is enabled. I also see the do-not-disturb icon when that is enabled. So for me it appears as if they are all working properly.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] SirRobin78:
Thank you. Ok, so i wounder why the mute icon is missing on my device...
[Sony Xperia 1 III] RF Junkey:
I have a XQ-BC62 61.1.A.2.211 Build. The icon next to "Security Update" is red. I installed the 5.6.2 Support update and hard reset but it is still red. Before the up date it was green. The phone is tell me one thing and Sony is saying your up to date.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] hotcakes_shinku:
Are you by any chance using a third party volume control app? I observe that that if I use the third party volume app to mute, it enables do not disturb and the mute icon doesn't appear. but if i turn it off and use the built in android volume control, the mute icon appears not dnd.
[Sony Xperia 1 III] kevinmcmurtrie:
That's Sony.

[Sony Xperia 1 III] jaseman:
Mine is red also. Not sure why, or of it's something to actually worry about. Maybe when I get the latest update here in the US it will turn green?
[Sony Xperia 1 III] RF Junkey:
I guess it would make sense that if Android release a update, (once keys are applied) Google Play would turn the icon red. We still have to wait for Sony to then apply the update to EU ,US, UK and so on.

Welcome to XDA and enjoy the forums!🙂
[Google Pixel 6] theBIGone:
I just saw the new Feb update for Google play system come in. I don't know how but after the install my fingerprint scanner speed is significantly faster. As in 0.7 seconds before registration where is was previously about1.5 seconds. I am super happy!

Is this just a placebo effect or do more of you experience a more responsive fp reader?
[Google Pixel 6] XNine:
Placebo. Your finger is probably just more oily/moist than usual. The sensor on this phone hates dry fingers.
[Google Pixel 6] manjaroid:
I removed the tempered glass protector and re-enrolled fingers which took forever. The fingerprint sensor became stupider. Is this placebo?
[Google Pixel 6] mojorisin7178:
No I installed this a few hours ago and tried it myself and I see a 100 % improvement over what it was before. My fingers are not oily actually they are pretty dry. Now if they could just fix this mobile network standby using 30% battery I would be happy.

And as a side note does anyone know if the Google store unlocked version of pixel 6 is working with Verizons c band?

It's very weird I remember in 2016 my buddy was on Verizon and his LTE was 100+ Mbps download. Now I don't get anything near that. 50 at most on LTE. If I get 5g it's between 80 and 100. I was hoping c band would give me 300 but I don't know how to test c band. Verizon clamis my town gets c-band but I haven't seen it yet. Maybe I need an update to activate it. I see on Verizon website that pixel 6 is supported but that's the Verizon branded one.

I wonder if I sideload and install Verizon specific builds for this phone if that would work.
[Google Pixel 6] tensux:
fingerprint seems better for me as well. i'm on t-mobile getting 600+ Mbps down in boston
[Google Pixel 6] Won't be druv:
Just updated and from initial impressions (about 10 unlocks) it seems more accurate than before.

Edit: After being out and about today, which was a chilly day in England, I found the sensor almost 100% useless and had to use pin unlock most of the time.
[Google Pixel 6] manjaroid:
I think this is common in cold weather even with reliable fingerprint sensors, especially if there's bright sunlight to confuse the sensor more.

A sysinfo app called DevCheck detects a Goodix fingerprint sensor. When I looked it up I came across an article saying these sensors are high quality and used in other phones with in-screen fingerprint sensors. Point being that software ought to be able to fix Pixel 6 problems. I'm confident it'll get ironed out eventually but for now I've given up on mine. I don't mind using a PIN. Mainly I'd like fingerprint access to Keepass2Android which worked fine with my old $200 phone.
[Google Pixel 6] Won't be druv:
I agree problems will get ironed out. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with the sensor as it works 100% successfully on banking apps. It is only the initial unlock where there seems to be a problem. My Oneplus 7pro never had a problem whatever the weather conditions though.
[Google Pixel 6] manjaroid:
A friend with an 8T tells me the same thing about cool weather but he fumbles if temps are "really cold". I would think this is normal but I really don't know. Pixel 6 is my first phone with an in-screen fingerprint sensor and whatever I know about the tech I've learned in the past month.

In my case enrollment barely works so I've had limited experience unlocking. Maybe it's my imagination but it seemed slightly better while on the January update. Other than that, no other gripes and I consider myself lucky.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mneimeyer:
My Galaxy S21 Ultra has the Phone Dialer App it came with and the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app. Any time I get a voicemail I get two unclearable notifications from (I assume) the Phone app and one from the VVM app.

I don't EVER want to dial in to hear my voicemail. I ONLY want to use the VVM app. So I'd prefer to have the Phone app just ignore voicemail. Is there a way to do this?

I'm willing to change Phone apps if that's the secret sauce but that feels like a biggish change and so I didn't want to waste my time if it won't help.

Thanks in advance!

P.S. All the searching I've done just talks about how to disable voicemail altogether. So either I'm crap at searching or I'm phrasing the question wrong or, I admit, it might not be possible. Thx!
[Nubia Red Magic 6] fredlamour:
Hi,

I am used to use the Orange phone application for calls because of interesting feature such local call identifier, spam or sale center identification ....

Fact is that as soon as you change the default application for calls on Nubia Red Magic 6 (ROM is last 3.27), when a call arrive, you get the pop up but no music.

Whatever you try to use an integrated music, any else added to the phone, there is no sound. As soon as Nubia phone app is back default, it works.

HAve you experience such issue and know how a workaround ?

Thanks for your answer.
[Nubia Red Magic 6] slimdaddycmf:
I am currently use Announce caller as my ringtone in settings. That’s the only way I can hear when my phone rings using Google phone at.
[Nubia Red Magic 6] fredlamour:
@slimdaddycmf, thanks for your feedback but what do you mean by "Announce caller" ? is that an app (if so can you link ?) or a setting.
[Nubia Red Magic 6] slimdaddycmf:
@fredlamour , launch Google phone app, go to settings in the app and at the bottom you will see caller ID announcement. View attachment 5565693View attachment 5565695
[Nubia Red Magic 6] GionRX:
Sorry for not being a help, but does it still vibrate? Or there is absolutely nothing except the call pop-up?
[Nubia Red Magic 6] fredlamour:
For me there is nothing (no sound/vibration). Only that popup and screen that wake up.

I have tested the option with announce call id but it is as short as the name of the caller is. So for me it is limited.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] testinguser:
Anyone using a program to change the profile to say vibrate when you goto school and turn it back to ring when you come back home. There are programs that can automatically change the profile based on current cell phone tower locations you are in like PSILOC's minigps (symbian) and DHR CommMgrPro (win mo but only for GSM) but anyone know of something for CDMA/sprint?

Thanks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kraize:
I don't think one has been made for CDMA phones.

Have you tried "Phone Alarm"

http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] testinguser:
Doesn't work with TF3D :(
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] nabboR:
How do you mean?

This soft looks like spot on what I want/need and when reading about it it at least says "G-sensor support for mute improved for the HTC Pro (Raphael)" so it seems it'll work with our phones.

so, how does it not work with TF3D?

(I cannot dl and try it today)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ardsar:
Phone alarm works as a today plug in. TF3D does not allow any additional today plug ins.

Solution is to use the application secondtoday which allows you to have a "second" today screen, which is accessable from the TF3D screen.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] testinguser:
Yep, that's the issue. Phonealarm is able to track CDMA cell towers, but won't change profile if TF3D is on today, as it won't allow anyother app to take that coveted spot. That second today might be the solution...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ardsar:
Secondtoday is a great application that allows you to continue to have TF3D whilst having all your favorite today plugins running such as phonealarm, pocket weather etc. It works well and have never had any problems.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tom2402:
It's great app but doesn't work fine on Touch Pro (on Kaiser the profile was changed even when device was in standby - on TP You need to turn device on)

and yes, I'm using it with second today

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] testinguser:
They may be on GSM networks (e.g. Tmobile) here. Sprint is CDMA and CMP wouldn't pick up the cell towers. If I can get CMP work and keep TF3D that'd be great!

pocketalarm did pick up the cell towers but not sure if the author had to do any special coding for CDMA?? DHR - let me know if there is a way to use CMP with CDMA.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] danielherrero:
mm, thats interesting. Could you try it and tell me what happens or error appears? In the main windows should appear cell id and lac. Wich numbers you see? Its very curious becouse Windows API only provides one way to get cells. Maybe Its enough changing one initial parameter. Once you tell me what you see in those fields (cell & lac) I will try to fix it ;)

Dani
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] testinguser:
IIRC, the fields were blank for cell id and lac.

EDIT: Also would CMP work with TF3D?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] danielherrero:
Thanks I will research about it. It works with tf3d because CMP isnt a today plugin but a program. (although It has a today pluing available too). Indeed it shows info about profile-schedule on the first tab of page of TF3D....
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] testinguser:
Doesn't work on CDMA:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1557444&postcount=11

Also DHR: I tried the new version and it does look slick but I still get 0 for LAC/Cell ID. Note I only installed it on the sd card, as I'm just using the standalone with TF3d and not the today plugin.

So the only solution that seems to work is phoneAlarm. I'll try secondtoday.

I received one for my 22+. Doesn't seem to bad of a case. Feels pretty good in the hand. Seems like it'll protect the phone. I got the aluminum frame one with the clear back. Right now the only thing I can say negatively about it is the cut out for the charging port and speaker at the bottom feel kinda sharp. If they gave it a slight bevel it would feel a little better and wouldn't cut into your finger if you happen to put your finger down there for support while holding the phone. Might break out the dremel with a sanding drum and round it out a tiny bit.
