March security update is out which also includes "digital wellbeing support"
Downloading now, 93Mb.
Update went fine.
New wellness feature looks good, could be useful for some, though it does list all apps even ones you are not "really" using like Nova launcher .... but this will probably reduce in stats prominence as I use phone properly during day.
More importantly. Does it fix the Bluetooth issues that exists in the Jan and Feb updates

Though I wonder if our bug is related to the Pixel "Bluetooth reliability" update (I don't have this issue so not checked)
Listed in update bulletin

Not much point in this update then. I had to roll back to December for my Bluetooth even be remotely usable for my car and speakers
The thing that's strange is all these Bluetooth issues ...I don't have any of em. My PH1 works normally with my car, portable Bluetooth speaker and 2 different sets of Bluetooth headphones. Many of the issues others complain of I can't replicate or simply don't have.

I think most of the people who are having issues have a wearable device, like a smart watch, that is giving the most issues.

Same here. Stock, rooted with Magisk, no TWRP. The phone was on Jan update when I bought it, went through both Feb and March updates, no issues. As pointed out, the problem might be more related to wearables, and I don't use them (just a headset and a car speakerphone)...

This one seems to be hit and miss for me... For example, it works for SMS, but not for missed calls.
Does this update have any sim relocking tricks? Thanks.

Mine has worked fine all along. In fact I don't have and never had either the Bluetooth issues or the wifi issues. So either the hardware is that different from device to device or something else is going on.

Just to double check, you're on Pie, not Oreo right?
If so, that's weird, 'cause on mine, it's ok on Oreo but latest Pie

No, my update process is based on the steps from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/es...de-step-step-instructions-to-install-t3877259
In short: adb sideload OTA zip, extract new boot.img from the update, patch with Magisk, fastboot flash patched boot. I haven't tried the method you linked. Maybe another time...

Hi,
New firmware 32.2.A.0.305-R4C is rolling out, see on Xpericheck.
probably the same update as the Z5:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2016/10/07/new-firmware-32-2-a-0-305-rolling-for-xperia-z5-family/
Since the last update, which should solve problems with bluetooth paired devices (that I haven't had), the BKB 50 doesn't conntect to the Tablet anymore. when I unpair an the pair the device it works for two minutes an then It doesen't work anymore.
Hardware reset of the keyboard didn,'t change anything. So, if you update have that in mind... and does anybody have an idea what I can do about it?

I just tested it with my HP Bluetooth keyboard - works with US keyboardlayout. I would have to change that with e.g. External Keyboard Helper.
You could try a factory reset of the tablet.
Or with root access and tools like Titanium Backup delete selectively the data of the bluetooth related apps or work on the command line via adb shell.
I had some issues with battery life in the previous build - some process drained the battery in idle mode in < 10 hours. I figured something with the Google system apps.
With the new build it seems to me the slope of the battery stats went from 30° to 10° and my usage pattern.
Best I had with my SGP712 so far.

HI,
Just tested with a generic bluetooth keyboard and no problem ( I never had a problem with the bluetooth with this tablet on many Devices)
I hope this update fixes my problem with videos / animated gifs being unable to play after x time. A reboot fixes that, but it's damn annoying on a media consumption device..

If it happens on original firmware it may help to post on Sony's official Z4 Tablet forum to better get their attention.
I should do the same once I know if the failing media playback issue also happens on stock.

Thanks nonetheless, I wouldn't have found it otherwise.
I can confirm that this fixes the playback problem. I can finally browse Reddit GIFs without fearing I'll have to reboot again to see them
For those of us that use the Weta ROM with Daydream enabled--or perhaps other methods suggested online--i found that the VR update just released breaks functionality. You can go through setup, etc, but at the point when you would put the phone in the headset to use it goes to an unending black screen. Anyone else seeing this as well? Any updates or suggestion on how to fix?

I have the same problem on a Honor 8. The only difference is, that my black screen dissappears after a few seconds and the phone returns to the launcher.

Hi Christian,
I've had that occur as well...though most of the time it just stays black. I notice if i reinstall the ROM and don't use the daydream compatibility patch it will actually go into VR mode...however it has a big white text box in the middle indicating that the phone isn't compatible, thus making it unusable.
Would be awesome if someone could fix this. My pricey Daydream HW is a paperweight right now...
The latest update (received 2 days ago) seems to fix the issue.

i want to daydream also. i have ls-997 with what appears to be the zva -- security patch sept 2017. looks like i wont root at all. it's ook i have a picasso device for my VR crap. FFFFFF
i want classic rom with root. add daydream files. you say this won't work??
[email protected]! there has to be a way. it can't possibly be testing the screen refresh to know it's bad! we have the vulkan what else does it need?? aargh!
seriously though, has anybody recovered their daydream or simply use it on the v20?
with February security patch.
new fix bugs?
What's changed, i don't know. Can someone explain?

hello, how about battery drain after the latest update? I just saw a video recommending to do not update to Pie, because many features of Oreo and Nougat are gone and functions are limited, and a battery life is reduced. the review was made few months ago, though. are there any major changes with following updates? do you recommend to update? thank you.
Hi, what do you all think of the new Pie update?
What happens if, for once, there is a system update notification, it is being ignored and nothing done?
My first smartphone being HTC, then switching to Samsung twice, i don't recall getting system update notifications every now & then from the mentioned brands.
yesterday I have updated to this version via OTA.
today I notice GPS does not work (tested with Maps and GPS test).
does anyone have experienced this issue?
Not going to update my XZ1 to Pie. It seems Google has disabled third party call recording apps such as ACR within Pie. This functionality is very important to me in my work. So unless I'm going to root my phone in order to get around this I can't use call recording app. This is a major to me and many many others.

I got four darker spots on camera - two are darker and two are barely noticeable. At first I thought it was a hardware issue (dirty lens or faulty sensor), but I found, that this happened to some of the different Xperia phone users before after a software update. Can anyone else confirm that?
Just updated. GPS and camera are fine and everything seems really quick. Or maybe that's because I just rebooted and I don't do that so often
I can't use my device anymore, it's laggy as hell and so bad, that no one wants to buy it for even 150€

No, I updated the phone to OnePlus 7T
But still till the very last moment was considering to give the x2 Pro a shot as I really liked it.
Hi! I recently updated my Blackshark 2 and after the update, an old problem I had came back.
My connections keep fluctuating. I'll be using the internet on my phone for apps and then my mobile networks and wifi suddenly disconnects and reconnects after a few seconds. It's really frustrating since it keeps disconnecting me from internet-intensive apps.
Any ideas on how to fix this? It's honestly driving me nuts.
Factory reset should fix that.

Ok, so you probably then used some beta build of JoyUi12 or something that is not yet officially published or it is not for your device eg. you had global and flashed chinese build or other way around. Go back to build that worked and wait for official release.

Ok, sorry for wrong assumption. I just try to help as best as i can.
Usually problems that you have are coming from software because after update some old stuff from previous version stick around and have conflict with new stuff so factory reset should fix that. In your case that did not worked so maybe it is a hardware problem.

I apologize for the hostile tone, it was not my intention at all. You have been very helpful and I've greatly appreciated the effort. I'll try doing some more random stuff. This has happened before about half a month ago but it went away. Now that it's back its even worse than before so i can't just ignore it as I had in the past.
Again, thanks for the input. You've really been a great help.
