The notification panel probably can be fixed by using custom ROMs
The speaker part will not happen. It's just too small.
Shourtcuts on lockscreen, again probably a custom ROM. I have tried 3rd party apps for adding shortcuts in the lockscreen but they were horrible.
The next Xperia model that Sony should bring out should have improved camera and better screen (eg S-LCD3) instead of standard LCD. Oh and better speakers too.
i hope to be satisfy by 4.2.2

Don't expect too much with 4.2.2. I reckon it will only have little improvements.

No because I have to root it. Too lazy to do that. I had been a recovering flashing addict and don't want to go through that again.

What I'd like to see are things like the ability for Smart Connect to turn NFC off/on,
to make distinguishing between charging points easier since using NFC is the only way to do that.
and New UI!
Hold up...I swore I saw and used an option to block incoming calls from certain persons. In the phonebook when you click on a contact you can send their calls straight to voicemail, and in Settings/Call Settings you can go in Call barring. Well if thats what you mean by "Blocking mode for incoming calls"

I'd think twice about that. Rooting will fix allmost all your problems.
- Customize and more switch button notification panel
With root you can get a lot more, i currently have 8
- Fixing LED specifications to use and related stamina mode
Theres a fix on the forums for this. It allows the LED to work even in Stamina mode
- More shortcuts on lock screen
Also possible with root
- louder speaker
Use one of the modded audio's. I use it myself, and turn on the Loud setting when listening (internet) radio under the shower

I don't have to think twice about it. I know all about rooting. And I'd rather not do it. Just sick to death of flashing this and flashing that. I just wanna use the phone and be done with it.
ya, agree with those points.
1-less compression of image(we dont mind the big size of the pic, else why we bought sd cards 囧) and faster camera launch, even HTC release 2nd update for improving the camera .
2-music, ya, even XDA developers can come out with mod that improve the sound louder and clearer, its appear to be poor software/firmware implement by the software engineer in Sony.
The walkman apps doesn't have refresh button to refresh the media when we transfer new music into the phone. And my walkman apps play song, it appear to bit slightly lag (0.5sec of music pause) for many times in a song, and goes on, I have to use 3rd party music apps to play song smoothly.
3-screen, at least give us the WB software to adjust the color like the one in Xperia ZL and SP.
4- battery life - which sony can implement extra feature like "power saving mode" which limit the processing core to lower frequency (1 or 1.2ghz) which surely improve battery life. Like what Samsung did on Note 2( as I bought one for my sister and I found out it's really a big plus for extending battery life by lowering the processing power).
Althought rooting phone can limit the processing core power and solve all those issue we address, but apparently not all of us want to risk(or good at), root(rooting) our phone to do that.
Sony, please make improvement. >< we do love you ~
just dont make us dissapoint and regret.
Any link to make louder speaker? Offcourse rooted
integrated flac support and better bass audio quality for headphones music sounds horrible in my xz hehe also a way to completely backup apps installed on the phone or create a list that can be imported and downloaded every time you do a factory reset and a way to backup app data in the same program, a way to root phones on 4.3 with a locked bootloader would be nice too i've tried all methods none have worked so far...
Individual notification tones in texting app.
Individual LED notification color per contact in texting app.
The possibility to not only assign a custom ring tone per contact but also set a specific contact ring tone to be completely off.
Increase MMS max size.
Flip tiles toggles, CM style.

How then? I am new to Andriod.
What i want is sound off / vibrate on and vice versa. When i put my phone in vibrate mode, all notifications should be set to vibrate. Turn the volume back up and vibrate stops and sounds are back. Maybe I'm just not smart enough to figure it out.
Try settings profile in the market.
Another great app is just "profile" by noimjosh, it is a fully configureable profile manager. It also has whitelist functions and the ability to seperate sms mms and notification volumes to different levels. It will also control GPS WIFI, music volume alarm volume .. the list goes on and on. I highly recommen checking it out. well worth it. Hope this helps.

I find that this is good for everything. That's probably why it costs $4. I have this one turn on my wifi when I get within 1/4 mi of my house. I also have it change my wallpaper so when I'm home it displays a hot naked girl and while at work it will display something other than that.

Hey Acid, settings profile looks really good. Lots of control, i am wondering if you agree on this though. I am on call sometimes from 330 am and want to keep everything silent except for a call from work. So i basically set up a "silent" profile, then created a rule so if i get a call from a specific work number the profile will change to another profile called "work".which has an audible ringtone of course. Thus i should be able to keep everything silent untill work calls then presto i can hear that call. Sound right to you?

Hey by the way, if you have Juice Defender and Settings Profile running in tandem I've noticed they can conflict on the wifi side of things.
Ahh, noted thanks!
So on every android phone, in the sound settings for ringtone, you can set it so that your notification and ringtone volume is the same (by checking off a little box). I font see this option on the phone and so when I lower my volume it only lowers it for the ringtone, not emails and texts etc. this is ANNOYING. is they're not a setting for this or is it just me?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
It's extremely annoying, and my biggest issue I've had with the phone so far. Followed closely by no notification LED. Hoping to see fixes for both soon.
Okay, here's how.
As usual, Settings > Sound and Display > Notification Ringtone. Now that you have the notification ringtone list open, just press the volume key to adjust.
That's how you manually adjust the notification ringtone, as always. What we're missing is the option always in every other Android OS that allows you to match your notification volume automatically to your ringtone volume, allowing you to adjust everything at once by the hard keys on the outside of the phone. Without that option you bump your ringtone way down, for example to go in a meeting, then one of your notifications goes off full blast.
Okay, I see now. I haven't had an android phone in a month so I'm a bit rusty. Well here's a fix to that then. I can't do anything about it in the settings itself, but go to the market and download "Quick Settings." Open the app and go into volume control. On the top there is a check box for "Use Ringer volume for Notifications." Now it'll work.
That sucks big ones. I'll have to use audio manager till that issue gets fixed. This is why I hate non-stock android phones because manufacturers like htc, motorola, and samsung think they thought of everything but they always end up messing something up

damn, whats up with samsung phones just straight up missing **** that's included in android? I was googling for a way to block calls when I saw that android should be able to take any contact and send their calls straight to voicemail.. NOPE, not on my epic.. now the notification/ringer volume link is missing too?! WTF?
I'm having a serious case of buyer's remorse right now.
Hey,
I developed a new app today and would like to share with you guys.
it uses the same libs as the Subwoofer Vibrator, but now only on ringtones.
this makes the phone bounce according to the ringtone and not just monotonously.
ofcourse its for free,
you can download from google play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ValkA.vibetone
here's a video of how it works:

does the subwoofer vibrator works ? might be an already running sound mod.
Looks interesting, will try it out soon. :silly:
Will this conflict with other sound mods? I have Viper4Android installed.
it shouldn't make any problems, at least BEATS works fine on my device
Tried the app. The vibration doesn't change from default. The screen starts to lag damn badly when incoming call alert.
you should turn off the the default ringtone vibration in the settings, thats the reason it doesnt change for you.
about the lag, thats strange.
what device are you using ?

Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505. I did turn off the default ringtone vibration, but when incoming call, the vibration is the same as what I set for my ringtone. Not only that, the screen lags too, can't accept or deny calls.

I'm creating this thread to collect bugs found in the Oreo software that devs can take a look at for their ROMs, and possibly report to HTC depending on importance.
My first bug is cosmetic. The app icons are not consistent at all, and this goes further than the home screen launcher. If you hit the share button, the size of the icons vary, some big and some small.
My second bug is a little more annoying, and I'm not sure how to replicate. I was using Google Maps in and out of PiP mode (I drive Uber, so I come in and out of Maps constantly), and after some extensive switching, the PiP app wouldn't maximize, and my Recent Apps panel would not activate. The actual recents button could still activate multi-window, but it wouldn't cycle through the last two apps or activate the Recents carousel. The behavior returned to normal after a reboot. I am currently stock rooted, but I'm quite certain that has nothing to do with this issue. I will report if this happens again, and pay more attention to any possible causes. I might report this one to HTC.
My third bug is cosmetic, but a little on the annoying side. When switching Bluetooth audio profiles (found in dev options, for those who don't know), the codec that is displayed doesn't change, but you still hear the difference in audio. Also, aptx HD doesn't work for me. When selected, I hear no difference in the sound.

PIP is not convenient to use now. For example, you can open youtube.com in chrome, request desktop site, play some video in fullscreen, press home button, then you get your PIP feature.
After update my battery reduction too much..
Maybe not exactly bugs, but a few things that bother me are how ugly the icons are and that it's using the default notification sound when I'm on low battery and it plays the notification sound coming in and out of night mode as well. I don't need to be notified with a sound about coming in and out of night mode and I'd prefer the regular buzz buzz sound of the low battery rather than thinking I got a message of something.
I hate the persistent notifications of things running in the background or drawing over... Not a bug, but a 'feature'.

It might seem a weird thing to do but try clearing cache and data from Google play services, playstore etc. I remember when I turned off all permissions to playservices my buttons stopped working as well except home button. Worth a try.

Probably more a feature than a bug, but I miss being able to pull down the notification shade and toggling between Do Not Disturb, Priority Mode, and Normal. Now tapping the icon just turns on Priority Mode. I can't seem to find an easy way to turn on Do Not Disturb without long-pressing the icon. Does anyone else know a better way?

You can turn off the night mode notification. I set it to still show the icon in the top bar but not make a sound. It took a while to find, and I forget where it is. Maybe the notification settings for the system app.
When the screen is off and you double click the power button to access camera, it will not pop up with a preference choice (assuming you have more than one camera installed) unless you time it exactly with putting your fingerprint on the scanner
My shortcut options when you long press an icon are completely gone on every launcher.
Edit: Suddenly works. Odd.
My phone's bluetooth connects with my car's. Tried to play spotify But the audio plays on my phone still. My car sees th title of the song, just for display....Wasn't like this before the update... Must be the bluetooth 5.0 thing?
All notifications come silently, with vibrations only, although their sound is on. I think, that is because I use DND rules.
Does anyone have the issue too? How to fix that?
I have 3 devices and all of them have the same issue. The problem came, I think, when they got Android 8 or 8.1.
Just Google the do not disturb mode
Try and see difference between the modes
Look at automatic rules for DND

No-no. Of course, when DND is ON, I don't hear any notifications.
But! When DND is OFF, notifications don't play sounds.
Restart helps, but not always.

I use Google fit too and except a little battery drain ? i have my notification sound.
So you're not rooted etc... Just using app from playstore.
Start eliminate them one by one
1-Check apps that use accessibility service
(under settings / accessibility)
2-Check apps that use notification permissions
(under settings / applications / show permissions and look the notification tab)
3-Did the problem hapenned after a "specific date" it could also be an app update
Zedge app is made to customize notification sound try uninstall this one first.
Also is this happening for all app?
Did you put the ringtone sound to the lowest?
Because on stock notification sound volume is the same as ringtone one. (except with root - but maybe an app you used put it to the lowest)
Putting ringtone sound maybe would debug the thing.
Do you hear the ringtone when a call comes in?
I'm sorry bro i can just suggest some idea you already tried. I hope someone got the same problem and manage to fix. Maybe you'll be the one that will help future user in this case ?
Good luck with this. Sometimes solution is very simple. Sometimes it just need a factory reset. But you don't learn where you f*cked up
