-clicking on personalize from settings causes splash screen bootloop
-in settings it say "Kindom" instead of Kingdom ROM
-App drawer sometimes causes sense to crash.

Hello XDA members,
I've created this thread to devise a bug test. The bug is as follows: When disabling all animations, tapping on an icon in the stock launcher does not run any application when tapping sloppily. An exact tap has to be met.
It only applies to stock roms. The purpose is to link this thread to SONY developers depending on the test outcomes.
The test is simple:
Navigate to Settings → Developer options, and set the following:
Window animation scale→ off.
Transition animation scale → off.
Animator duration scale → off.
Reboot phone.
Now try tapping on any launcher icon. According to the bug description tapping on an icon won't launch any application unless you tap 'correctly'. It might be about 1pixel precision, so no unnecessary movements. Quite difficult to achieve on a 1080x1920 display.
To revert back do the following:
Swipe down to open the notifications bar.
Navigate to Settings → Developer options, and set the following:
Window animation scale→ 1x.
Transition animation scale → 1x.
Animator duration scale → 1x.
Reboot phone.
Please reply with feedback whether application launching worked or not, and help make Xperia Z a better phone. Thank you!
UPDATE: The bug seems to be solely caused by Animator duration scale - keeping it on allows easy tapping.
Yes you're right I faced the same problem after disabling the animation
I've had this problem since pretty much day 1 of getting this phone.
One of the first things I do when setting up my phone is disable animations. I have re-enabled the animations and the home launcher is working again.
I might stick with nova launcher for now though. It's a lot smoother and I don't like animations.
works with .5 then reboot
It works, now I can use my sony stock launcher again. thanks :good:
Hello,
I have an annoying problem with my new G2.
I have installed all my usual apps, including Google Now Launcher. Everything worked fine including knock on and knock off from the statusbar.
After completly draining the battery and restarting the phone, knock off feature does not work anymore ( not even from the notification bar corner ). Reverting to stock launcher does not fix the problem.
Does anybody have a fix for this ?
Thank you.

Found the fix on another forum :
I figured out a solution. I had "Animator duration scale" set to 0x in the developer options. Turn this to 1x (or 0.5x if you would rather animations go faster) and restart the phone. This fixed my problem.*
Note that this does bring back the annoying CRT screen turn off animation that I dislike but I prefer having that and still being able to double tap the status bar. Also note that you can leave window and transition animation scales to 0x if you wish, they have no effect on this problem.

hey guys, when i lock my screen and the music is playing i don't have my music player in lock screen or any other notification. the only thing that i have is the clock and small weather widget (original samsung).
really don't know how that music bar disappeared and i even can't see my notifications in notif.bar when the screen is locked. don't know if it does matter but few days ago i turned on the app lock in clean master and till then i don't have all this that i mentioned. i restarted my phone (that works sometimes when i have a small bug) and even deleted CM but still nothing. maybe CM doesn't matter to this but still....
thanks for helping.

I think you should check Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications on lock screen. Turn it to Show all content. I use A5 Lollipop 5.0.2.
Sorry for my awful English if you can't understand.

Thanks m8. That was easy, my mistake. Case closed
As many know the beta went live for Sprint, Unlocked, and T-Mobile customers earlier today so I thought (since I didn't see one posted already) that a thread of our experiences with it so far would be nice to have.
So far here is a list of bugs some comments have posted in this thread:
Laggier than Nougat
Live Messages force close
Adhell2 frequent force closes
Bluetooth fails to turn on until reboot
Random reboots
Personally, it feels snappier in nearly all operations when using Nova Launcher Prime, but it's when I switched back to TouchWiz that I've noticed that it feels much more responsive than it did before. It feels much better.now and I'm going to use Touchwiz for a few days and see if it's worth using now.
The one area I was really hoping that would have seen an improvement would be swiling to the right for Bixby, which feels worse now somehow. While Bixby seems a little better when activating with voice, and the new interface for Bixby home does look nicer (personal opinion, obviously) the actually swiping is still a slow mess.

Keep getting an app called mobile downloader in notification panel up to the left, can't clear it can only snooze it, wtf, I like a tidy left notification panel especially on the left

I got this also on sprint, I just forced closed it. Comes back with a reboot but whatever, the notification is gone
I like a tidy notification panel/Status bar as well and I'm now noticing more than usual notifications that I don't like:
"so and so app is running in the background" and I can't disable it. That's annoying.

I'm on T-Mobile. You may need to do a cache clear and reboot it. I know that can clear up lag after an update sometimes. Always worth a shot if you haven't already.

It's stable, has silly bugs but on a whole it's much to do about nothing.
It's not a case of Samsung at all, it's android itself. Google just don't bring much to the table anymore
samsung keyboard forced closed but came back in a reboot, usually use gboard though, so im going back to that
I have been running 8.0 Beta 1 for about 8 hours now, and have also reverted back to TouchWiz from Nova so I can view the full experience. So far, everything is faster. No issues with any content or apps already loaded from 7. I have only noticed one small, split-second glitch so far, and that was an animation delay returning to the Home screen from using an app. 30 apps sitting in Recents right now, so could have happened just the same on 7. Regardless, I am completely content, and have already forgotten that were talking about a beta, let alone Beta 1. Surprisingly good job Samsung, and I'm still in shock that we even have Oreo already, to be honest... Looking forward to further testing and the finished release.
My S8 is my only cellphone phone , I consider myself a Android enthusiasts. I love tweaking settings.and I'm always on my phone. Do you think the beta is stable enough ? to install theOreo beta i have already downloaded it I just want to see, if the apps are closing , crashing, buggy ,rebooting ect. The occasional hiccup will be no big deal thanks in advance for your response
Does anyone else's Live Messages force close while using the messaging app? I ask because I previously installed the Note 8 Live Messages mod before I installed the Oreo Update and I'm not sure if that may be the reason why it is now force closing.

Is there still massive animation lag/dropped frames when hitting the home key returning to the home page from Samsung browser?

Personally it has been snappier with no app crashes. I have had Facebook crash and some other app I don't remember, but it was something else I had installed and not a major component and it has only been once for both, but Facebook had issues all week since I re-enabled it. It has just now been working better (POS app anyway.)
That and the annoying to me notification panel are the only things. No bugs, lag, etc but I can't speak on battery yet... So far it seems in line, but I don't really know until tomorrow.

No problems with Messages here, but I haven't modded it from the Note app so I dunno, and this version doesn't have the Live messages feature still, so I'm going to guess that might be the issue there.

It still isn't as fast at going back to home as other apps, but it's a far better transition than it has been.

Ok, phone just rebooted while sitting at my desk. Nothing was going on and the last app I had opened was dialer. Hoping that doesn't turn into a trend.

thought poweramp was not working, turns out it had lost my music folder on the sd card and I had to point it at it again.
How is the battery life?
I have been experiencing the same issue. Whenever I select it on the keyboard the message "Live Messenger has closed" appears and the phone just vibrates on me. I tried a reboot to get it to work and still no change. I am also constantly getting "New Messaging Features" appearing in my message bar, over and over and when I click "Start" I do not get the code and get it completely registered. Not sure if that is adding to the issue as well.
