List of Android 9 (Pie) Bugs

Profyler1 — Wed, 09 Jan 2019 22:50:50 GMT

To Sony:

Please take a look in the list beyond that will be updated as users will be reporting, and PLEASE, dont ignore this!!

Bugs:

- Brightness;

Automatic Display Brightness is slow. When your in a dark roomed and lock your phone and then go to a brighter room, the Auto brightness is still very dimmed and dark. It takes like 3, 4 seconds to autobrightness ajust itself to a brighter ambient. This deffinetly did not happened in Oreo and immediately startet after Pie update. Maybe its the android 9 auto brightness that google was talking about, but the implementation is bad in our phone.

PS Update: People said it could be the auto brightness AI wich is still "learning" but i will still leave this here for some days.

Ps Update 2: Im having a lot of "Brightnesse Manager" has stop responding error only when conected to charger!!. Another user also reported it and we bove had already repaired with PC companion.

- Notifications;

In notification menu, it show how many apps are blocked for notifications, like "9 apps blocked" but there is no menu for taking a look which are those 9 apps that cant send notifications, you can only guess or take a look app by app. I mean, should it really be like this? because its sounds like another bad implemented thing.

- Night mode;

Another well documented bug from others. The night mode in dev option menu does nothing.

Android 9 - Customized DE , December patch.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ps: Yes, before you asked, we already made a Full Wipe / PC companion installation and those bugs are reported at least for +2,3 people.

If other people got other Bugs to report, wright it down here, and if another user confirmes than I'll take it to the list above so Sony can take a look, even thou I dont think they're going to do the fixing, but well, at least its registered.

- In-call volume

In sound settings there is an "In-call volume" slider. No matter how I set it as soon as I make or get a call it jumps back to maximum volume.

I just testet this and i dont have it. I called myself and my xz1c was set to minimum volume. it answered also in minimum volume.

Maybe a hard reset will help you (yeah i know, its annoying).

Not sure what you guys are doing or what apps you have installed - I upgraded my Xz1 Compact to Pie OTA, did reboot and since then the device works like a charm. No bugs, longer battery time - 3+ days instead of 2.5 before, super performance, quicker boot time. Thanks a lot Sony for making this great update avail to us!

Hundreds of users with different problems after last update. Yeah sure, must be our apps, not the release... 🤦🏻‍♀️

Sounds like - as I am sure Sony has sold more than a couple of thousand devices - that are running without issues. In the end only those are yelling which face problems, the rest stays quiet - common behaviour. And all I stated is that I am facing no problem with having more than 160 apps installed all running like a charm - lucky me 🙂

Another lucky user here who did a hard reset before the OTA update and reinstall all my apps from Play Store instead of restoring from backup, good battery life and liquid smooth.

I do observe the auto brightness issue as mentioned by the OP, but it's not a big deal to me.

My only complaint or disappointment is that my XZ1C still not supporting VoLTE and VoWiFi in Malaysia (DiGi) while most of other cheaper phones (Huawei, Honor, Nokia and etc.) are already supporting these features long long time ago.

The brightness Manager nos responding pop up is surelly something that is bad implemented...

VOLte depends on your operator. At least here in brazil the operator needs to homologate the volte option in the phone first. Take your sim and put in another volte enabled phone and take a look.

Yes I know. Only wanted to say that sometimes its the operators problem and not sony. In Brazil, the operator are the one who needs to homologate VOLte on every phone first, even if phone is already volte capable

Ya I know that, but shouldn't Sony be proactively working with the local Telco to get VoLTE and VoWiFi activated instead of sandwiching the customers in between? Isn't this a win-win for Sony?

Surprisingly no issues for me so far.

My Compact started overheating immediately after the Pie update. I eventually got so annoyed that I performed a hard reset (i.e. factory reset)... it's STILL overheating after the reinstall!

I am not using my phone at all... there are no active apps. I'm simply keeping the screen on (with adaptive brightness), and the temperature creeps up from 29 C to 40 C in a matter of minutes - it'd rise all the way to 45+ C if I didn't shut the screen off! Why is my phone idling at over 40 Celsius? THAT'S NOT NORMAL IN A FINNISH WINTER. Even the ever-present explanation of "Battery temperature is the same as room temperature" doesn't apply since my room is cold (like 20 Celsius). Battery still shows 29 C with screen off! And that's with the dedicated charger that came with the phone (I've never used a third-party charger for all this time... yet, it's overheating. Even while OFF the charger.).

The Pie update is absolute garbage to me with the overheating problem. I'm honestly expecting my battery to explode in my face, so unless this issue is fixed, I'll have to get rid of this phone and buy a Samsung. ...You can rest assured I will never buy a Sony phone again if the battery fails after 10 months of use.

Desde que actualicé a android 9, en mi xperia xz1 compact no escucho las llamadas, solamente con auriculares, ya lo reinicié de fabrica y ni así se ha corregido mi error, si alguien puede ayudarme muchas gracias!

Since I updated to android 9, on my xperia xz1 compact I do not listen to the calls, only with headphones, I already restarted it from the factory and even so my error has not been corrected, if someone can help me thank you very much!
