The point of the topic:
Post your issues found in STOCK / CM11 or post a solution.Simple as that,very productive.
I'll start with a list of bugs:
CM11 ISSUES:
-Video recording lags in reduced luminosity.
-The phone heats too much when playing/watch videos for long time and so on.
-Volume during call is too low.
-Ocasionally freezes & crashes.
-Some graphical issues when the phone freezes.
-Wifi MAC Address is always 00:0a:f5:89:89:ff.
If there are 2 Xperia L using CM11 / Custom Kernel connected to the same wifi, both connections will be dropped.
STOCK ISSUES:
-Video blinks in low light(from what I've read it focuses wrong on the light source and starts blinking).
-The proximity sensor remains on after a missed call.
-Multi touch doesn't work as well as on CM11.
-Some weird freezes during call ( the screen remains off / freezes and you can't end the call / sometimes even answer )
-Camera doesn't have as much detail as in CM11 ( if you zoom in,the image doesn't clarify).
-Wifi MAC Address is always 00:0a:f5:89:89:ff.
If there are 2 Xperia L using CM11 / Custom Kernel connected to the same wifi, both connections will be dropped.
CM11 FIXES:
-Lag in video recording can be reduced by lowering the exposure.In medium to low light " - 1 " works pretty good and in very low to low light " - 2 " .However,when you use " - 2 " ,the recorded video will be very dark.Still haven't found a solution for this.
-About heating problem,you might want to try @Shivam Kuchhal 's kernel.He reported that his phone doesn't get heat up more than normal.
-About volume during call,it's been solved partially in newer releases by editing snd_soc_msm file.However,if the value is too high,the phne volume will also be too high and the speaker will produce distorsioned sound.However,I see they found a resonable value and both,the volume during call & speaker is about fine.
-For headset buttons not working,you must edit Generic.kl file.Here's a short tutorial to help you:
Go to: system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl and change as below
key 226 HEADSETHOOK
key 256 BUTTON_1
change to
key 226 BUTTON_1
key 256 HEADSETHOOK
STOCK FIXES:
-For proximity sensor and weird freezes during a call use this tutorial .Haven't tested it personally,but people reported it works even on latest .17 fw.
-For Mac issue [ works for cm11 as well ]
1)Restore original MAC Address
Open /data/etc/wlan_macaddr0
Copy it's content. Ex: 01:12:13:14:15:16
Open /etc/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini
Find this line
Code:
Intf0MacAddress=000AF58989FF
Replace 000AF58989FF with the content of wlan_macaddr0, but write back to front. Ex: from 01:12:13:14:15:16, write to 161514131201. So it will look like this
Code:
Intf0MacAddress=161514131201
Save & Exit, Reboot the phone
That's all for now,continue to post bugs&fixes and most important:

Proximity fix not working!!!
More Kitkat Bugs List:-
1. Headset buttons
2. Camera experiencing crashes randomly, sometimes cause overexposure and being unstable at flash mode
3. Black graphical glitch/scanning effect first time after you turn your screen off then on again after first restart/turning on phone.
4. Call bugs(e.g. distortion etc.)
5. Lag when using the video camera
6. battery draining faster then on stock rom. (was improved on early nightly releases....now its back again)
7. GPS not working again (for some it does...others it doesnt....again...wasnt there on first nightlies)(Mostly Happens In CM11)
8. Camera quality is much,much worse then on stock rom
9 . Phone may left hanging and screen wont turn on for several seconds...
10. Some apps are unsupported on playstore...
CM11 bugs
CM11:
1. Switch to HDR mode and within 3 snaps camera app will FC.
2. Headset buttons.. I have to manually edit that Generic.kl after every nightly update.
3. As mentioned above, graphical glitch after updates.
Some of bugs that u mentioned @David pro has been fixed by users, but device maintainer didn't merged it for some reason in official builds. So, get started:
1. These buttons can be fixed, someone(I don't remember who, Sorry) has created a modified Generic.kl. You can find that file somewhere on this forum.
2. Camera quality is medium, but videos are very poor..
3. Still exist
4. @up
5. As I said, videos are bad
6. Caused by Google Play Services, 1st method is use xposed Framework and one of its add-ons, 2nd is just disable Services from Settings>Apps(i'm using second one, because I just don't like Xposed)
7.GPS is working fine, at least for me. No fix needed
8.Yep, on stock it is better.
9.It's caused by "Black graphical glitch/scanning effect first time after you turn your screen off then on again after first restart/turning on phone."
10.Well, some of them are only for one platform or type of devices,eg. Tegra 4 games.
No heating issues noticed so far(I use my kernel obviously) and yeah the camera and video quality isn't anything worth praising. Also the hwcomposer issue happens only one time after every boot, after that its all fine.
I normally use AOSPA.
Actually,I think the cm11 camera takes better photos than stock,but it can be buggy sometimes :silly:
About GPS,it's working fine for me too.
About video camera being laggy...I think it's because our phone lacks drivers update.It's hard to believe the video camera will ever be 100% fixed.
I'm sorry I'm kinda busy those days and I don't have time to administrate this thread.I'll edit the main post as soon as I can with solution you guys posted.But it's true,there are things which can't be fixed.Until I come back, HELP EACHOTHER

Haven't experienced those kind of issues when I used stock.Try to do a factory reset or flash the ftf again.Maybe you added some mods or apps which affected the system.
Overall,we have to admit that CM11 is blazing fast and that's why I'm still using it.I'll update the OP now with your solutions.Thanks guys and keep helping eachother.

another BUG with the stock ROM
1)walkman app flickers in the widget lockscreen
2)poor memory management need to restart the phone daily else the phone lags like a hell
3)camera app didn't respond ,it doesn't even the focus sometimes ,clearing the app data solves this problem temporarily and i think it was not present with the .12 update ,so if anybody could extract the camera app from the .12 update similar to the phone app freeze issue the problem might be solved.
3)walkman app or any other music player makes music to stutter when the same song is played more than one time provided if the songs are stored in memory card also i know that my sdcard doesn't have any problem because it worked fine with galaxy s3.my sd card is sandisk ultra class 10 32 gb
4)battery drain heavy when wifi is switched on compared to previous android 4.1.2
note:i have not rooted my phone or modded my firmware .all i run is the apps taken from the playstore.i have done a factory reset for more than 4 times.
CM11 / Stock (using custom kernel) bug:
Wifi MAC Address is always 00:0a:f5:89:89:ff.
If there are 2 Xperia L using CM11 / Custom Kernel connected to the same wifi, both connections will be dropped.
Solution:
Restore original MAC Address
Open /data/etc/wlan_macaddr0
Copy it's content. Ex: 01:12:13:14:15:16
Open /etc/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini
Find this line
Code:
Intf0MacAddress=000AF58989FF
Replace 000AF58989FF with the content of wlan_macaddr0, but write back to front. Ex: from 01:12:13:14:15:16, write to 161514131201. So it will look like this
Code:
Intf0MacAddress=161514131201
Save & Exit, Reboot the phone

1. For many people works,for some don't.I don't understand how's possible...
2.Haven't tested it...for me it's a useless feature.
4.Well,crashes happens.However,they're not too frequent.
5.I really like the photos cm11 takes.About video...another story.Try to notice the details in the photos in comparison with stock.
I am going back to stock in order to see if I can obtain(with all the bug fixes from here) a more stable software than cm11.I'll report to you soon guys.Until then, help eachother
@underd0g
Nice fix for WiFi-Mac interference problem. :good:

guys please try to solve the issues with stock ROM because they are the stable ones and the bugs are easily repairable if the bugs are reached to right hands.so pls first concentrate on stock ROM
I've been playing around with 4.4 video recording..what i think is the lags occurs when we record in low lights related with the kernel..i'm testing with snapcam as its has auto flash when recording in low lights..First result is same as stock..but in snapcam it has touch to focus when recording..after touch,the recording will get a bit darker when it refocus and walla..no lags..
What i found is, the camera will automatically reduced the exposure to -1 for avoiding the lags even it is on default setting..
When moving the camera in low lights,the recording will lags again after few second..that is with continuous focus..set to normal or auto..no lags..so our stock cam using continuous focus for recording..
Back to the kernel thing..from what i see from the recording is same like this when i'm playing with cnt rom to to get wifi and overclock working.
Ok,so I went back to stock.I'm amazed by the battery life,it lasted 2 days and I used the phone a lot ( especially for calls ).
However,after using the fix for freezes during call and so on,I still have experienced this morning an issue.While I was talking to someone,someone else called and the phone was beeping but the screen was frozen.I had to press the power button to lock the device then unlock it to get the screen to show who's calling and to give me the possibility to answer the call.What do you think I should do?For now I'll wipe phone app data,but I'm also waiting if someone knows a good,another solution to post.
Anyone know a way to remove the automatic shutdown?
My phone shuts down if it reaches 25%
Hello guys,
I don't know if it happens to you, but I've got some ugly bug on my front camera. Wherether I'm trying to shoot photos, I've some good exposure in preview, but after I shoot a picture, the exposure goes under or over exposure, but never the one I get on a preview screen (before hitting the button). Is this a known bug and is there any way to fix it.
I didn't see anyone complain about it, so I think it's not common. By the way, I tried to use different roms and diferent camera apps, it all the same.
The only thing I found on the internet is this site:
https://community.republicwireless.com/thread/26076
Yea, it's a common bug, that haven't been fixed.
To me it only happens in very good daylight and the photos end up overexposed, HDR doesn't help.

So I have this bug too, any pictures taken with the front facing camera outside during the day are almost entirely white, you can just about make out what the picture is of. But the preview and movies taken with the front facing camera are fine suggesting it's software. I have no screen protector, no case, unrooted, KitKat out of the box. Tried different camera apps with no difference.
I know this was posted a while ago but any updates on this? Can lollipop change anything? I have a moto g LTE in the US so no L for me yet. Can I adjust settings in the camera app (I downloaded the apk for the moto camera that has settings access)?
This issue, along with the multitasking problems that mean I can't even listen to music while surfing, have tempted me to give up on this phone entirely.

Dunno if it's fixed in Lollipop, but I can test. I just don't use the front camera much.
I got no such problem with multitasking at all, even on Lollipop, let alone KitKat that was way better in the memory management.

Thanks for offering to test it - I'd really love to know if L makes a difference. I don't often use my front facing camera either, but just knowing I don't have the option to use it is seriously off putting. Last week I ran into a friend of mine I hadn't seen in years, and after trying to take a picture together you couldn't see either of our faces. It was so disappointing.
As for the multitasking, it seems like some phones have an issue while others don't - all I know is that when I have Google Play open, launching Chrome causes Play to close after 30 seconds, no crash error or anything. Same with the home screen having to redraw after exiting almost every app I use, and Chrome tabs reloading every time I switch between them. I've gone as far as uninstalled the memory hogging facebook and other apps, but the problem persists. Painful is the only word for this phone at the moment.

Tested and I couldn't reproduce the bug on 5.0.2. It takes pretty normal pictures now.
Can you tell me if on KK you can enable HDR? On lollipop this is not accessible at all.

I have hope for the lollipop update then! Yes on Kk you have three options for HDR, on, off and auto.
Just thought i'd start a thread for owners of the P2 to share any bugs ( and hopefully cures ) that we've come across so far . And to tidy up other threads that may get clogged with these issues .
i've had mine now for just over 2 weeks and so far its been somewhat of a disappointment. The issues i've come across so far are ...
1 - Audio sync .. regardless of app used the audio sync is out with the video . It gets even worse when trying to steam a video through a web browser ( and i've tried a few different ones just to make sure its not a chrome issue ) . streaming audio from internet radio is bad too . After 20 minutes or so the sound breaks up completely .
2 - Low volume in recorded videos .. The noise suppression / noise cancellation kicks in within one second when you record a video . what sound you are left with is similar to an old gramophone record .
3 - Notifications .. Seems to be an issue with the phone going into deep sleep , no notifications come through . I've read a few people saying turning off app optimization for the affected apps helps , but i don't think it makes any difference .
4 - tap to wake .. tap the screen twice , sorry 22 times to wake up the phone .
5 - SD card formatting .. freezes every time i try to format a memory card ( which has worked perfectly in galaxy S5 ) as internal or external memory .
6 - high CPU usage at idle .. I've seen this on a few other forums too . cpu starts sticking at 1.6ghz after the phone has been running for a few days . I've done a clean wipe and installed no other apps or removed any and its still present .
And the most amazing thing is i haven't seen any of these issues raised in any reviews of the phone either
So feel free to add any comments or fixes if you come across them . This could be a fantastic phone if only the gremlins are fixed .
And could you please state which firmware version your phone is running .. I'm on P2_056_uk
1,3,4 are the problems which i am also facing ..
Thanks for this post , and i have some points to add
7) "Ok Google" Hot word Doesn't work
- i have tried GoogleNow Launcher with all set, but sadly Google assistant fails to respond every time
8) Some times Gyroscope/ Accelerometer sensor goes bonkers
-i noticed that while i was playing Asphalt extreme game.. my Steering goes Out of control
finally a very bad thing which isn't a bug but annoying me a lot is -
i've got an app which does the function of DOUBLE TAP TO SLEEP , ( we can put the same in Novalauncher also, under gestures) This is using Accessibility service so when i use FINGER PRINT or any kind of SMART LOCK it always asks me to put my PATTERN LOCK even after keeping my finger across the sensor ..
and this is very disturbing.. as a result i had to disable FINGERPRINT unlock and use DOBULE TAP TO WAKE in which i again face problems .....huh...
if there is anyway to overcome it.. please suggest me a way
1) I have heard about that issue from quite a few user but i have never faced that issue.
2) Not recorded video much so cant say
3) Not facing this issue
4) Yup it works only 5 out of 10 times
5) Never tried
6) Haven't paid attention to the CPU usage
I confirm no. 3:
"Notifications .. Seems to be an issue with the phone going into deep sleep , no notifications come through . "
- I noticed that when i unlock the phone emails and notifications are being pushed. I am still bench-marking the battery and as soon as i have done a couple of cycles to get a feel of the battery life i get i
will try and play around with the battery optimization settings in the settings.
These are working fine with my mobile, Made in china one (i know there are 2 types available):
4 - tap to wake .. tap the screen twice , sorry 22 times to wake up the phone .
- Do you by any chance use a thick screen protector that might not register the double tap?
- I don`t actually use this feature as i have the finger print unlock feature active and I use that to wake the phone.
5 - SD card formatting .. freezes every time i try to format a memory card which has worked perfectly in galaxy S5 as internal or external memory .
- I formatted an older SD card from my Xioami phone in the Lenovo and had no issues (it warned me that it might be slower and suggested to get a faster one) but i had no issues.
- From my past experience (also outside mobile device use) SD cards are verry sensible, i had some of them die out of a sudden or not being readable across devices.
Possible new bug, sometimes switching from Wifi to GSM or back i noticed i had no data connection, after toggling Airplane mode on and off it works fine.
Only noticed it once so take it with a grain of salt.
Interference noise when using headphones
When listening to music via headphones there is lots of electrical interference type noise. If I turn volume to zero it stops. It also stops once no sound is being fed to the headphones. Turning the volume up helps to drown the noise out. It's there between tracks most noticeably but also very audible when trying to listen to relaxation music at very low volume which I do a lot of to help me sleep.
It sounds like processor interference of some sort - beeps and electrical sounds but also machine gun 'pips'.
I have discovered that Bluetooth being on makes it WAY worse. If it is switched off it is barely audible - but still there. I need bluetooth on all the ktime for my smartwatch.
It happens on all apps: Spotify, Netflix, YouTube etc. I even hear it when I get notifications.
Anyone else noticed this issue. Would you mind testing for me??
---------- Post added at 11:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 AM ----------
Oh re. the OP numbered issues:
1. I also get the audio sync issue but only on Youtube. Netflix, Amazon Video etc are fine for me.
2. My video's audio is fine so far.
3. Not had phone long enough to notice for sure but I have had notifications come through when it's asleep.
4. Tap to wake worked well for me but I turned it off.
5. I have had real problems with my micro SD cards too. My first card, the P2 said it was faulty or damaged and gave me the option to reformat it. It got to 20% and then the phone completely locked up with a black screen. I had to remove the card to get the phone working again. After that the card is toast and unreadable on any device. The card was fine in my previous phone.
Second card I tried I successfully formatted in the P2. However, after 24 hours without issue, the P2 is now reporting that the card is 'unsupported'?!
My device has a screen flicker problem, occasionally the screen brightness change for a fraction of a second, even with the off auto brightness, other online users have reported this problem.
Other point :
3 - Notifications .. Seems to be an issue with the phone going into deep sleep , no notifications come through . I've read a few people saying turning off app optimization for the affected apps helps , but i don't think it makes any difference .

This is a Android doze scheme problem, you install a "disable doze" app from play store to solve this issue, or use adb method ( This problem is present on several models including the OnePlus 3 ), adb method is temporary untile reboot phone.
adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable
6 - high CPU usage at idle .. I've seen this on a few other forums too . cpu starts sticking at 1.6ghz after the phone has been running for a few days . I've done a clean wipe and installed no other apps or removed any and its still present .

Someone said the buzzing issue with headphones seemed to calm down when the screen turned off , could be causing interference , but i remember my old moto G2 had the same issue and buzzing stopped once music started playing ( even on very quiet parts of a song you couldnt hear it )
can you confirm the sync issue on BBC Iplayer too BritishBeef . And I tried the card in the galaxy S5 again , formatted straight away . I Forgot to say it was a 64gb sandisk ultra , only a few months old . The strange thing is The P2 created a 15mb partition and that was all the samsung could see , had to remove it and all ok again

Screen off makes no difference unfortunately. It's not a buzz though, it's popping, and electrical chirps and pips.

I think its some form of noise suppresion that kicks in once the music starts playing , very annoying all the same though
You know i'm starting to wonder if the phones actually made by lenovo , awful lot of similarly specced devices coming out of china at the mo
Forgot to say if anyone comments could you also say which firmware version you have too .. I dont think the bugs are firmware specific , but its good to see if they are present in any updates

Unable to for now I'm afraid as I have packaged it up to return it. Going to get another one but buy it in a store this time. I bought the original online from Three (UK) and just spent 90 minutes on the phone to an Indian call centre to arrange a return. One of the most painful calls of my life
I wonder how many returns 3 have had so far ???

"Notifications .. Seems to be an issue with the phone going into deep sleep , no notifications come through . "
- I noticed that when i unlock the phone emails and notifications are being pushed. I am still bench-marking the battery and as soon as i have done a couple of cycles to get a feel of the battery life i get i
will try and play around with the battery optimization settings in the settings.
These are working fine with my mobile, Made in china one (i know there are 2 types available):
4 - tap to wake .. tap the screen twice , sorry 22 times to wake up the phone .
- Do you by any chance use a thick screen protector that might not register the double tap?
- I don`t actually use this feature as i have the finger print unlock feature active and I use that to wake the phone.
5 - SD card formatting .. freezes every time i try to format a memory card which has worked perfectly in galaxy S5 as internal or external memory .
- I formatted an older SD card from my Xioami phone in the Lenovo and had no issues (it warned me that it might be slower and suggested to get a faster one) but i had no issues.
- From my past experience (also outside mobile device use) SD cards are verry sensible, i had some of them die out of a sudden or not being readable across devices.
Possible new bug, sometimes switching from Wifi to GSM or back i noticed i had no data connection, after toggling Airplane mode on and off it works fine.
Only noticed it once so take it with a grain of salt.

I bought mine free of contract from an online shop, unbranded and unlocked.
Currently am on the latest build number available, P2a42_S062_170117_ROW.
Ran also CPU-Z and my CPU usage is when i start the app for 1 second at 1.6Ghz then goes down to 652Mhz, so no issues for now.

hi, i have problem with the NFC...
apparently he is really very little sensitive and i cant use it on my bluetooth headset but bluetooth work fine if i connect it manually...
Same issue with my SRS-X77 but I manage to make it work with a lot of patience...
Have you already tried it?
Well you issues are not bad comparing to mine. Seems like my lateral button of the extreme saving mode is still ON! Never dropped the mobile, neither dropped in water or hit some hard surface. Looks like i can't go off that saving mode, even moving the button.
So, is like 4 days that i have a nice mobile with calls and text available, plus calculator and the basic features but no way to switch back to my apps :s
I asked the assistence cuz i still have the warranty and they'll let me know what to do, if they can fix it or i have to ship it back, ah i did already the wiping date of the mobile with a reset.
Stay tuned for more!

I bought my second P2 today. It has the same sound interference issue as my first one
To reiterate, when listening on headphones and the volume is low (like listening to chillout or classical, meditation etc.) there is electrical type interference sound. I have been experimenting and have isolated to problem to WiFi. If I turn WiFi off on the phone it stops altogether. Also, I think that the more data that's transferring, the more interference.
It is there whatever is playing - music, Netflix etc. Even when notifications play it can be heard. Obviously if the volume is turned up it is far less/not noticeable but it is always there.
I have managed to capture a recording of the issue:
https://youtu.be/r0z6X7zB-pw
This was at low volume as it illustrates the problem best but it's clearly heard in the recording.
I captured this audio by using a 3.5mm audio cable to output the audio from my Lenovo P2 to the AUX-in on a speaker system. I then placed another phone next the speaker to record the audio using an audio recorder app. The uniform static background hiss is produced by the app.
I LOVE everything else about this phone but as someone that uses my phone for music for many hours a day I cannot ignore these sounds.
I find it hard to believe that I can be unlucky enough to get two faulty P2's so there must be many more with this issue if not all and no-one else has noticed the issue yet.
I have tried 4 different sets of headphones and the issue is the same.
new update pushing to global Nex
Haven't noticed any major differences from the last version. Waiting for Android Pie...
little improve in video quality
and notice something happed to the screen when play hdr video on youtube
also the quality of taking picture from front camera in WhatsApp and snapchat improved
Snapchat's front camera photos are still beautified or not sharp.
I sorry for my English, I use Google Translate.
App clone is broken.
My second whatsapp doesn't show up anywhere after the update.
is there a direct link to download this or any Nex S firmware so that I can flash it?
Vivo customer service is awesome. The fingerpint not working/appearing issue with the last update, when AOD is off and proximity sensor(infrared sensor) is triggered is FIXED after discussion/video of issue with customer support

Updated to 1.8.10 yesterday and tried using Lens and Assistant this morning but both seem broken. Lens says "thanks for updating, we will be available soon" or something like that. Assistant freezes the phone and won't open at all.
Anyone else have this problem?
Agreed that fps is faster but haven't noticed the other two.

Happens to me too. Mostly when I go home after browsing the net.
Battery life after update now halved. Not a good update. I reported to support but doubt there will be a solution. Anyone else having poor battery life ?

I am not experiencing any problems everyone else is describing.
For me updated working very nicely. No issues in launcher and camera quality has been improved specially for selfie camera.
0 issues
Double tap to close the screen still doesn't work.
AOD still doesn't work with third party apps (except for WhatsApp).
Very few skins for AOD

A double tap to turn off the screen works but on the lock screen. You will wake up with a double throttle to wake up the screen and extinguish it with a double thump.
I sorry for my English, I use Google Translate.
For custom launchers, try to clean cache files. I had faced some issues before cleaned caching
No issues after that, even in the duration of battery life
So I know there are other android 10 threads out there but I felt like y'all should get a list of whats new in front of your eyes instead of looking around:
**Improved night camera quality - Yes I have felt and improvement it is slight however, but it did get somewhat better.
**Google's new navigation gestures (I felt like I should write this because last updates, Sony phones did not get the nav gestures) however the new gestures seem just a tiny bit laggy -rarely though- and when in landscape mode, the slide down bar drops not in a symmetric way but rather drops right sided which makes things look out of place
**New CinemaPro app features - the app now has the levels of both phone microphones like on the v50 and also has aspect ratio check lines (if you want to shoot a video on cinema pro it only shoots 21/9 but you can have check lines to see whats being viewed in any other aspect ratio you choose and you also have a meter inside the camera to show you if youre in the frame or not)
**Dark mode - works on most apps, but I can't seem to activate it on my phone app, any suggestions?
**UI click sounds changed - yup! I love the new ones they sound more like Android rather than Sony and I do love Android!
**FINGERPRINT!!!! - Yes!! finally fingerprint scanner is way more responsive now!! before it was sooo strict about the cleanness and the angle, I registered 3 fingers and it only could recognize one of them because of the angle it provides, but now every finger on any angle with less cleanness is verry responsive! (could still be worked on, but im so happy with it at this moment)
**Sadly no more face unlock, even though I never used it but it worked surprisingly fast when I had the option available, but now it doesnt exist, good thing they improved the fingerprint scanner XD
**Slightly improved battery life - I only noticed it when I tested it, but if youre not a detailed tester you wont be able to recognize throughout the day, maybe if youre a slight user, yes you will notice the phone lasting 2/3 hours longer (overall usage and not screen on time) because I can tell they worked greatly on improving the idle drain.
**Speaker loudness - I think the phone got louder? I am not sure but defiantly notice something that didnt exist, not necessarily higher quality but I do notice something increasing in volume I cant tell if its volume or distortion lol but when I go to max volume there is something that makes you think, a little lower than max sounded like max on previous android but I cant tell if max here is actually louder or just more noisy especially with dolby atmos
**Some people reported signal drops? or bad signal? I havent noticed a difference here so thats good news
**Performance - the phone was fast enough to almost be the king of speed and smoothness so yah even if its better on android 10 I cant even feel the difference but it is VERY smooth even on a new android which means its pretty sick!
**Recent apps button (in old school 3 button nav bar) doesnt seem to do anything if you have custom launcher, but works on default sony launcher.
UPDATE!!
**one handed mode, which I use alot when im in bed, cant seem to be activated in the new navigation gestures, because you have to double tap home button but u dont have it in new gestures, so heres what i did:
Enabled side sense, i know it doesn't work properly, but now you have an option of controlling how to access it, You can actually enable the inside the screen tap rather than from the side (if you have a case on, this will really help you) , adjust sensitivity, position, transparency of the slide activators, and change the gestures of how it works, now i changed the double tap side sense from opening the side sense menu, to activate one handed mode, and now side sense works smoothly with gestures and i can activate one handed mode in new android nav gestures, youre welcome
Thx u for this thread
UI seems a lot smoother. I'm liking the android 10 gestures which adds to the "smoothness".
Can't really say about photo quality, haven't been using the camera much. I can definitely notice a better battery life compared to before.
Basically no issues just yet! Aside from me getting used to the new gestures (+ side sense)
Im using the google dialer app in play store. It has a way better ui, better icons and dark mode compatible. Set it as default and it's all good. I don't understand why sony have decided to use the "stock" google messenger app but not dialer... the dialer seems customized in some way idk
There is a bug that I noticed: when going back home using the gesture, if the app icon is on the dock, the icons a bit laggy and will flash for once. don't really know how to describe it
Someone can make a full review of android 10 and post it on youtube ?

Yah you just reminded me to add that bug, also if you on landscape mode the slide down bar is off place slides from the right rather than the middle of the screen

I will try to do so soon, when I have free time from work
Agree with you.
- about the signal, i notice less signals bar (1-2 signal bars most of the time), but no connection drop (yet)
- wifi Mac address new option, set by default at "random Mac address"
Here's a preview of the swipe up animation bug?

Does anyone else have a weird audio bug where when you pause music or a video the sound spikes up for a second before it pauses. I've only tested it on the native music app and YouTube. I don't use any music streaming service such as Spotify or Pandora. I think I've concluded that this is a software bug since I when I flashed back to the previous firmware and didn't have the same problem. Maybe my device is just strange. Any opinion?

Precisely, IDK if that happens with pixel or one plus devices, but I know that it happens with Xperia 1. When you go back to the app, let's just say it's inside a folder, app shows in the dock then the folder pops back. Then if you open an app let's just say dialer then you switch to camera with recent menu and you go back to home screen it shows dialer app on where the camera icon then you get the camera icon back in the dock. Am I right?
