HELP: 500px app opens upon dock connection - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since I'm not getting any replies over in the XPERIA T/TL/TX/V forum, I though I'd try it here.
Each time I connect my XPERIA V to the charging dock, the 500px app starts up. I cannot seem to prevent this simply by revoking the app all autostart rights. As it appears, connecting the phone to the dock causes some kind of "open any photo-related app" action. By default, the SmartConnect software will start the SenseMe slideshow when the dock connects. No matter whether I keep all default actions or create custom actions in SmartConnect, 500px starts up and immediately crashes.
Does anyone experience anything similar with their Android device and the 500px app or a related photo app? It's pretty annoying and so far the only solution seems to be either freezing or uninstalling the 500px app.
Tech note: I'm using a Sony XPERIA V LT25i device with the latest 9.1.A.1.140 firmware and Android 4.1.2. The dock I'm using is the Sony DK25 model which is built specifically for the XPERIA V and only provides charging funcionality.
Any help will be appreciated.

You can now root and then reinstall and see if that helps. If you are not keen try factory reset.

[Q] Xperia P - random scrolling, opening of apps etc

Hey everyone,
I have a problem with my Xperia P. Sometimes, it randomly starts to do things when the phone is unlocked, even if I am not touching the screen. It seems to register a touch, when there actually isn't any. Because of this, it randomly starts opening apps, scrolling and sometimes even moving widgets (it somehow registers a long touch followed by random scrolling).
I figured it was some sort of software error, so I used the PC companion program to repair my phone (wiping all settings but not the SD card) and for good measure, I reset the phone from the Android menu, also wiping the SD card. Then I reinstalled my apps etc and everything seemed fine, but after about two days the problem was back.
Is this a software bug that more people have, or is it a hardware defect? Also, I read using a third party charge could cause this. I use the official Sony charger of my old Ray, but it is rated to have the same voltage and less mAh, so that can't be it, right?
Technical details:
Android version: 4.1.2 (6.2.A.1.100)
Carrier: T-mobile NL
Which apps you installed, can you remember if it was after you installed a new app?

I can't say whether it was after installing a new app. I had the same problem earlier once, but I fixed it by repairing the phone using PC companion. Then there was an OTA (don't remember which, but must have been the last one in NL) and the problem came back. Or at least, that's how it seems, might still be hardware combined with weird timing.
Well none seems to be like one that can cause such a problem, but it's weird that a jardware problem will disapeare or surface with software updates.
I searched around on Google a bit and found a youtube video of someone with a similair problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMlfIq8fe0I
I also found this thread for the Xperia S, which seems to describe a similair issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895423
From what I read, most people either disabled some app which caused the problem or it was a hw issue.

Find X2 pro bugs

Let's collect our discovered bugs of this device. Here are mine:
Default Launcher setting is lost upon reboot. In my case I set Hypersion as default, reboot and the setting is gone. I have to reset and sometimes eben force close the stock launcher or I will still end up on stock when I go back from an app.
GPS coordinates are often wrong in exif of taken photos.
Android Auto freezes as soon as the phone goes into standby.
9gag stays empty and needs to be closed if it was in background.
Google Photos is super laggy due to scoped storage limitations in Android 11. Especially while deleting pictures. Maybe not an device specific issue.
Gboard overlays on places it shouldn't, in any app, only way to fix is to close the app completely.
Game Space app resets everytime I restart my phone, additionally, unhides games, meaning I've gotta flick the switch each time.
Oppo App Market, when I update a app and press install, the install prompt repeatedly refreshes even if the apps installed successfully, only resolve is to close the app completely, and refresh the update page.
Notification panel stays grey even with enhanced dark mode.
App drawer cannot be customized at all, not even row layout.
Swipe up gestures seem to have a hang when swiping up from the centre, also affects keyboard too.
UI glitches in certain apps.
Oppo App Market now persistently requests read app usage permission.
File Manager has a hang upon opening varies between 1-4 seconds.
Microphone volume on social media applications is ridiculously low.
I realize that app drawer customisation & notification panel colour, aren't bugs, however they're very annoying.
Where do we report bugs to Oppo? Cant find it anywhere
Pressing "Close all" disconnects Garmin watch, as it seems to shutdown Bluetooth in the process. Reported to Oppo. No response.

It does not shutdown Bluetooth but the plugin app that is running in the background and is needed to communicate with the watch. Same thing with Samsung active plugin - when I hit close all I get a notification that the plugin restarted itself.

I just sent them an email to their Australian support email address.
There are plenty in the Color OS 11 update. Here's another one... Using "Keep screen on while charging" in Developer Options to circumvent the annoying Android Auto issue, and Navigation pops up with no way of canceling it, even after the phone is disconnected from USB. The only way to get rid of this notification is to restart the phone. Oppo really shouldn't have pushed such a buggy update without proper testing.
Edit... Seems this bug doesn't even need to have android auto activated, just charging via my car's USB port will trigger the navigation bug. Any way to rollback to Android 10? More problems than this is worth.

Don't know about that but personally I don't see any reason to ever hit "close all" in the first place.
Good evening from France to the whole XDA community!
I have a problem on my Oppo Find X2 PRO: it often happens that when I call or someone calls me, no sound is picked up by the phone when I speak. My caller can't hear me.
I wonder if this is related to the use of a Bluetooth device (my speaker, my headset) before?
Has anyone experienced this problem and if so, how did they solve it?
I would add that a simple reboot is enough to correct the problem...

Question Xperia Pro I keeps shutting Podcast Addict down while listening.

I have an Xperia Pro I, china version, with all the google stuff added.
I am continually getting Podcast Addict APP being shut down by the system while I am listening to it. I think I have turned off all the options that allow this, with no success.
I have "excepted" the APP in the "Power saving feature" menus in the APP settings, and excluded Podcast Addict from the restricted APPs in the Battery menu, but it keeps getting added back in even with "Use Battery Manager" switched off.
Any thoughts how to get this thing to behave? I have never had an issue before.
I found the issue.
I have the Chinese version, and buried in the bloatware, is an APP called Power Optimiser. It seems this is overriding all my choices in Settings. Disabling this APP on these APPs seems to have fixed it. If this continues to work I may remove the APP entirely.
