And on Android Enterprise site it shows G6 official OS is Android 8.0.0

UPDATE:
Looks like it will go straight to 8.1

.

That could be a game changer if it was announced at the start. But, everyone knows they will give people 1 major and maybe 2 security update then, they keep promising for next major update as they did at G4 but that next major version will never come out globally. I see this news as "meh".
Plus, "LG Electronics USA, Inc. today announced that the LG V30 and LG G6 premium smartphones available in the United States will earn "Android Enterprise Recommended" approval in a new Google-led program, following an upgrade to Android 8.1."
Can we assume it will stay as a local feature and will never go global?

I think it's global since they came out with this in Poland too.

I don't know whether or not this would apply to the United States too, but LG Canada says March 2 - 9 for the Oreo update.

Now they keep on updating every single version of this phone. And lg Poland replayed yesterday to me that I won't be disappointed (REPLAYED AT NIGHT)

Let see if it's for all G6s and V30s or only for selected models for business use...

So according to the program we all should known the truth around 5th of April.( or earlier)

One requisit is to have adt least one unlockeable version, so the usa unlocked version and european h870 are likely to enter for sure to this program.

The program means also that security updates are issued each at most 90 days.

Probably they implementate Project Treble? Making the LG Owners feeling great again

I'm not sure if G6 has needed partition that is needed for Project Tremble. But let's hope it does.

Just kidding, I wish this stuff was 100% true. We will see. Fingers crossed.

Let's see then, I sure hope for a timely and bug free (hello samsung) update to 8.0.

I'm a little bit skeptical about the reality of this. Right now it's good publicity for the phones without them having to actually do anything. The G6 is almost a year old and if it never gets beyond 8.0 or even if it gets dropped from the list after 6 months because of not complying with some part of it, no big deal for them because it's late in the phone's lifecycle anyway.
If it bumps up sales enough that they will show it some more update love, great. But the G6 faces the same uphill battle in the enterprise as they do with the consumer and I don't think there's any compelling reason a big enterprise would choose it over the latest Samsung or iphone (smaller companies might choose it based on cost).

I am sure Google had some chat with LG on the matter before including G6 on the list. I am also sure that LG cares about bothering Google with some cheap tricks. It's not that LG cares about you or me but they surely care about Google. I also hope that Google doens't just do free false advertising in LG behalf, they are a bit cleverer than this. The relationship LG-Google is not about G6 being late in it's lifecycle but about all the next phones. After all Google "guarantees" for LG in front of a lot of very serious clients (businesses). That's rather big deal.

it's sad how LG went from being the fastest to update their phones to now one of the slowest. I remember getting Lollipop, Marshmallow, and Nougat so quickly on the G4, G5, and V10. Now LG is slower than Samsung, which is the worst/slowest updater. Samsung re-released Oreo for the S8 in Europe. Oreo was released 6 months ago (August 21, 2017). Google will announce Android P before we get Oreo on the G6. I guess LG's restructuring of the cell phone department deprioritized OS updates in addition to annual device releases.

---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:39 PM ----------
Today (21 feb) Google has launched a new program called Android Enterprise Recommended. It's a way for businesses to easily choose Android devices to deploy for their employees. To be Android Enterprise Recommended, a handset has to adhere to a strict set of rules.
It must run Android 7.0 Nougat or later, offer zero-touch enrollment with bulk deployment to employees, get the latest security patches within 90 days of their release for a minimum of three years, be available unlocked, and offer a consistent app experience in managed profiles and on managed devices.
Furthermore, it must come with a minimum of 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, a 1.4 GHz processor, 8+ hours of active battery life, a 10 MP main camera and 2 MP selfie shooter, and be updated to at least one major new Android version.
To start things off, the Android Enterprise Recommended list of devices comprises the following: Google's Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2, and Pixel 2 XL; the BlackBerry Keyone and Motion; Huawei's Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro, P10, P10 Plus, P10 Lite, and P smart; LG's V30 and G6; the Moto X4 and Z2; the Nokia 8; Sony's Xperia XZ1, XZ1 Compact, XZ Premium, XA2, and XA2 Ultra.
As you can see, it's not all flagships, there are a few mid-rangers for eager enterprises to choose from too. More phones should be added to the list in the coming weeks and months. Google says that by the end of the year it will also apply the Android Enterprise Recommended framework to OEMs of dedicated and rugged devices, mobile carriers, enterprise mobility management providers, and systems integrators.
The company is probably hoping to entice device makers with this program to adhere to its rules and thus be featured on the brand new Android Enterprise Recommended website, something that will hopefully lead to more sales of those models.

Pros over P9 plus:
Handy size 5.1inch screen
curved edge screen/pebble shape
2k screen
front finger scanner with navigation controls
New eye & face scanner/infra red camera for access & privacy
Frame sensor for hand recognition
Fast charging (70% in 20 mins)
(Some contextual aware features which most likely will not work outside China)
New Variant UI that will be developed differently from EMUI, with more youth and innovation centric.
Cons:
Not Leica branded lens and photo processing
No external memory card
Huawei branding (530$ is high for a budget branded "Honor" phone)
P9 plus has larger screen & larger battery
No pressure touch screen (Google has their software alternative though)
No stereo speakers
No changes:
12mp dual camera (not the 20mp of mate 9)
Kirin 950
Amoled Screen
If the magic has the newer Kirin 960 (LPDDR4+UFS2.1 Flash memory + Mali G71MP8) i would have gone for it without a thought. But now its not so easy. The whole front finger print sensor and eye scanner features makes it very tempting for me as when im at my work desk having to put password every time is such a pain. The P9 plus still looks very gorgeous, slim and premium and love it design wise while the Honor magic design looks pretty cool, radical & futurish. Im not a camera guy so not really important for me to have that latest best of the best camera.
Would you take the risk and go for honor Magic now or patient enough to wait another 6-8 months for the p10 which would have the Kirin 960, top notch camera, eye scanner, front finger print and bluetooth 5.0 but with more hefty price tag.
Would never go for less battery ...

Has fast charging though. If the 2k screen on the 2900mah can last a day with no worrying about, then a 30 minute charge is not a problem for me personally. The p9 plus for me is caught in between as it lasts like 1 and half day and has to be charged every day as well to keep up that other half day.
If fast charging works on the same chipset. It will work also on P9 Plus with the same specs.

The battery on the magic is built different, as well as additional safety measures in place. It has a 5V/8A charger.

Yes you can for sure. All EMUI phones can. We usually use the pre-installed Huawei appstore to download playstore.
Also read this thread here for a general idea of what to expect on software side on a China version phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9-plus/help/to-vie-al10-t3386700
Thanks for the reply, from your experience, do you think there will be a hong kong version of the magic, or even a upgrade version with the 960 chipset to support simultaneous 4G/3G on both sim, just like the current Mate 9, or may be a 128GB version, as i'm not sure how huawei markets their phones, release one now, and a upgrade version afterwards.
Also are most bloatware deletable or allow to be disable on huawei phone.

Very very unlikely they will bring a Kirin 960. Any variant will be just a color and memory variant at max (Even color and memory variant they for now neither confirm nor deny it). If Magic was a hit they would likely bring a big size version of the phone with pumped up specs in 6-8months after release of Huawei P10. I still have no idea why they decided to go for K950 as it is such a weird choice for a 2k screen phone marketed as the future phone. Have to see the performance in hand. The honor 8 had good reviews, so maybe they wanted to continue and feel confident with all their optimizations, and also maybe to not cut down sales of Mate 9.
News sites mention Honor looking for partners like facebook to make Honor magic release in India possible. So might see in HonkKong as well. Although i also feel it could be a bit too late if it was not planned already.
As far as i read, the magic is dual sim and 4g in the sense that you can with software settings switch around which one sim uses 4g while other sim remaims on 2g. So both cannot be on 4g at same time but you can switch between sims by settings.
Yes most bloatware deletable, except for a couple of Huawei apps.

I spoken to a friend who works for Huawei, he hasn't heard about the magic, but did say that it will not be available in Hong Kong for sure, Hong Kong has stopped selling Huawei Honor series for a good few years now, and has concertrated on the P series and Mate, mid range phones like the honor series won't be available, so my only choice is to buy it direct from china, hopefully they do sell them locally from a authorized store, as I don't buy phones through online, although I do know you can get the magic from 4 huawei authorised online site. So once I get to see this phone in person I will get it on the 9th of next month.

Yes It might be on stores but from resellers with price inflated by 300-500 CNY im guessing. The most preferred option for you might be if you have a friend in China who can order it online and you can collect it since you will visit China anyway.
I ordered one early from Aliexpress re sellers at 642$ (21% increase from original price which is high and won't recommend for everyone) as a preorder with a basic non-quick 3 week shipping. The resellers on Aliexpress have now inflated the price to ridiculous 750 to 900$. I will get my phone from the 1st batch which they are only receiving in past couple days. The second batch is being sold online on 1st of January i think.
There is a dedicated forum here now btw: http://forum.xda-developers.com/magic

V30+ Gone from T-Mobile.com?

Looks like the V30+ is nowhere to be found online at T-Mobile.com
Anyone know if they had plans of killing it off so quickly? Or could it be zero inventory causing this? Google shows up a T-Mobile V30+ subpage, but when you click on it it takes you to the main landing page.

My plan was to pick one up this Friday.
Might be that LG is getting ready to transition to the V30s and V30s +. No reason for LG to continue to sell the previous branding. Hardware-wise, the only difference will be additional memory, but once LG updates all V30 to the new AI, they will be, in effect V30s and V30s +. The only V30/V30 + might be the ones already out in stock with the carriers, B&H, Amazon that haven't been purchase yet.

Yes, the V30S will have 128GB internal memory and in effect will replace the V30+.
The V30S+ will have 256GB internal storage.
The S variants have 6GB RAM.
So, you'll have V30 (64GB/ 4GB RAM), V30S and V30S+.
This overlap between LG V30+ and LG V30S probably is the reason behind the bootloader unlock list fiasco.

All this makes me wonder if I should wait for the V30+ or consider a Samsung Galaxy S9+??
The S9+ will be more expensive, IIRC.
They have different features and are geared to clients with different tastes. The S9+ does have a 3.5 jack, but not the quality DAC as the V30. It also has Bixby and a Bixby button that is non configurable, which is a wash for me because I would not use either. Camera has been improved. And of course, Samsung has the best OLED screen in the business, though a bit too curved at the edges for my own personal taste. And while the V30 lacks some finesse in its software, Samsung goes overboard a bit with theirs. Home screen-wise, its another wash, as most people slap Nova, Google, or Action Launcher as soon as they buy a droid devise.
Really does depend on what your main use is, besides taking phone calls.
For me, it was about the DAC. Music is a top priority with me. This is one of the reasons I switched from the iPhone to the LG V30.

I too don't like the curved screen on the Galaxy lines and also read that Samsung has gone way overboard with apps. Things like the phone having two clock apps, two calendar apps, and two browser apps.
In somewhat of an order are my phone priorities:
1. Music
3. Screen size (6-inch min)
2. Speed (multi-tasking)
3. Camera quality
4. Build of phone
5. Hackability (unlock bootloader, root & zap bloatware)
I noticed while checking something online tonight that tbe S8+ is also missing from T-Mobile's website. I did get an S9 but I'm also holding onto my V30 sp I'll have JOD payments going on 2 phones. I like both phones. Just wish the V30 came in the blue coral like the S9 I got.

LG is no longer a company to consider when it comes to support. This is the reason so many people will not even consider purchasing their phones anymore. Slow updates and flawed hardware. The Moto z2 force has had Oreo since January on T-Mobile. And the 2 I've bought, are flawless hardware wise.

LG calls the flaws with their pOLED production, "a characteristic of the manufacturing process", and is not considered a defect. Some screens are definitely worse than others and there are the odd rare perfect panel out there at all brightness settings. The manual LCD test in the engineering menu is your friend. Some of the worst screens have pixel color shifts to the red side in random places across the panel. The two phones I have, aren't perfect, but you don't actually notice any issues unless you go under 10% brightness on a very specific shade of off white or grey. I have had phones that showed uniformity issues upwards of 50% brightness levels, banding at the top and bottom, dull spots, etc. Newere manufacture dates seem to provide a slightly less chance of getting one of the worst screens you will see. The manufacture date is on the side of the box and I would recommend looking for a manufacture date of 12/17 or newer.

i'm actually hoping that after a few more exchanges Tmobile will just let me move my credit to a worthwhile device. i don't ever want to give LG my money again. $850 is so much to spend on a device. i'm still stunned that they would release the device, knowing it was defective to this extent.

What the rest of the world calls a defect, LG calls a manufacturing characteristic. That is the problem and it is purely LG trying to brush off their poor quality panels. Best of luck getting something decent. If you go through enough of them, I'm sure T-Mobile will offer you option of moving to a different device.

yea, i'm kinda thinking i should have considered the moto. got my replacement yesterday and has the same screen issue. i'm pretty convinced that they all have this issue, and some people just aren't noticing. unbelievable that they released this device. there is absolutely no way they didn't know about it. buncha jaggovs.

The Moto is a great device. I never even considered it tbh. I was jumping a device to something cheaper and figured it couldn't hurt to try. Needless to say, for the price, I bought a second. It's an awesome device and the Moto power pack is insane. On top of all that, it's rootable out of the box.

Question LineageOS development

Now that MPK99 retired from LineageOS development for the RM Note 10, the question is if anybody else is able to continue what he has been developing so far?
The demand for LineageOS is definitely there, because no other ROM is that much privacy oriented and the discontinued ROM Is leaving a big gap for this Phone.
For the long term an official LOS is what would be the best for the phone.

rumor there are someone to continues developing a LOS ,
+1 for LineageOS. All these no name roms currently being developed comes with high risk. LineageOS is well known and I'd prefer it over others.
Unless Lineage OS is official, it is on par with all other custom ROMs. There is no difference in risk here.
A halt in development would also mean a partial halt in the development of all Lineage OS-based ROMs.
Our phone is significantly widespread and would definitely deserve an official Lineage OS.
I'm dying to flash a custom ROM on my device, however, I'd rather wait either for TWRP to at least get an official update to deal with Android 11 quirks, or for LineageOS to get the official status, whichever comes first
Merry Xmas everyone!
it's been quite some time since the last post here. unfortunately there haven't been any news about lineageos for the redmi note 10 anywhere. it almost seems like the lineage community has abandoned this phone.
As time passes by, the current versions are getting outdated and become a security risk for it's users.
This leaves us with only two options in the long term: sell the phone and buy one with more lineage options, or upgrade to one of the thousand lookalike other ROMs with less privacy options. both options aren't ideal imho.
I still haven't lost all hope for this phone, though, now that there is an official version of TWRP (https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomiredminote10.html), there might be someone behind the scenes working on an official LineageOS as well.
Is there any standard way to get the Lineage OS team to start working on an official version for our phone (such as the amount of inquiries from phone users on their site)?
I'd love to have Lineage OS, but it seems devs are more interested in "noname" roms. idk why tho

unfortunately not.
it's the community here that has to build the LOS rom, it's only going official when there are certain standards met and it's getting continuously maintained.
see here: https://wiki.lineageos.org/device_requests
i might be wrong, but so far, there have only ever been 2 or 3 people working on and releasing a LineageOS ROM for this phone.
Development continues in the form of ROMs based on Lineage OS. It's just not a pure form of that system. The fact that it is the basis for other ROMs that are maintained here could also be the impetus for separate development and updates.
By Lineage OS:
Perhaps the only somewhat reliable indicator of whether a device may be officially supported is when a developer’s hard work in bringing-up a device is forked over to github.com/LineageOS. Notice, this is after a developer (or regular Joe, see below) puts in the time and effort to get LineageOS running reliably. There’s still no guarantee of official support at this point; the device needs to meet a number of quality control checklist items and the developer needs to agree to maintain the device over time. But, there’s at least a decent chance.
Hi! i just built latest LineageOS 18.1 for our device ... i'm planning to release once i'm sure that aren't major issues on the ROM

it's just that obviously there are not enough people having this phone. And amongst them not enough that are capable (having knowledge AND time) of building and configuring the ROM.

I don't share your conviction. Few phones have had such a tumultuous custom ROM evolution in their early days as ours. To date, the Pixel Experience Plus has been downloaded from the internet roughly 4300 times.

well yes and no, it depends, I was thinking esp. of the LOS ROM development on this phone, not general aosp/pixel-like rom development.
yet, f.i. compared to a Poco X3 NFC this is ALL just peanuts... -> much more phones of the poco x3 were sold, it has a much greater user and developer base, and hence much more ROMs came out and amongst them also an official LOS ROM.
While I dislike complaining about the lack of contributors volunteering their hours for free, I got say it's been a little frustrating seeing dozens of roms being ported to our device, but still no LineageOS.
Is there any explanation for this? From my previous experiences with Custom ROMs, LineageOS was the the most famous one, and devs would jump at the opportunity the officially bring it to a new device, rather than choosing other custom ROMs.
I consider Lineage OS to be the best basic OS. However, ordinary users are calling more for extended systems, so the base system itself doesn't appeal to them much. The basic system is more suitable for us who can customize it to our own requirements, and the extended systems have unnecessary features for us. There used to be fewer extended systems and therefore more demand for the basic ones.
The Poco X3 NFC was unveiled on Monday, September 7, 2020.
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 was unveiled on Thursday, March 4, 2021.
The initial selling price of the POCO was double that of the RM10. There must also be a difference in the number of units sold for comparable goods for different sales period. I think comparing these devices is not relevant.
Among comparable devices in terms of price and hardware, the RM10 is unrivalled in developer support. Thank them for their work.
Lineage OS as the default system for many other ROMs, however, deserves more attention on its own. If it is in top form, the other extended systems will be better off as well.

by the time I bought the RM10 (about summer 2021) the poco x3 nfc and the RM10 were about the same price in the local stores over here (like 160€ vs 180€). That's almost about the same price and I took that as reference, not the initial price.
well now, it's passed almost half a year now and unfortunately I still don't see any lineageOS development going on over here. I'm still wondering why there is so much AOSP development going on on this phone, whilst a privacy oriented ROM like lineageOS seems to be completely ignored. Where are the privacy focused people on this phone? It seems like nobody uses this phone that also cares about these matters.
However, I did some searching and I found something like a forked and continued LineageOS ROM on 4pda. Unfortunately I'm not familiar with russian language and I can't figure out if anything from there is something like a trustworthy source.
I really don't understand how the hell the device has an active community with a bunch of Roms, but no LineageOS, not even unofficial. It's only AOSP/Pixel and ROMs based on LineageOS.
Based on my previous experience, devs would jump on the opportunity to port LineageOS, so it just baffles me it is taking this long.
i would be happy to build LineageOS for you but i don't have server at the moment and my pc is a dual-core one

Axon 40 Ultra

Since there's no thread for the Axon 40 ultra yet at the time of posting, so I'll post my query here.
The Axon 40 ultra which was just released recently has the specifications that matches my needs...
> Primary 64MP cam with a large 1/1.3" sensor and excellent low light capability with an aperture size of f/1.6. Xiaomi barely goes below f/1.8 even in their high end phones like the 11 Ultra, and the 12 Ultra will definitely not add that large aperture. Gcam with this main camera would kill the competition in low light
> Front facing camera which is under display. It may not be that impressive, but at least I have the full status bar to myself. Had the Zenfone 6 earlier, and the Zenfone 8 doesn't impress me, so I skipped it.
> 5000mah battery with 80w charging. Currently only a handful of phones have this charging speed with 5000mah battery. Most of the phones have 4500mah batteries with 120 or 150w charging which is useless as what they should be doing is adding 10000mah batteries with those charging speeds.
The other specs with a less importance includes 512GB with USB C 3.1 which will enable speedy transfers to the PC, 144Hz display, 6.8 inches large display size (I would prefer 7 inches too these days with 20:9 or even 21:9 aspect ratio). I'm also expecting a speedy 5G modem which supports between 3 to 5Gbps download speeds and aren't mentioned on GSMArena.
So my question is... Will there be any good Custom ROM development on this phone? From what we can see, there's not a single Custom ROM for the Axon 30 Ultra, and it was launched in April last year. I wonder if it's due to unimpressive specs, or that no developer is interested in these phones.
This phone has great potential due to the impressive spec sheet. It would be a shame if there's no development on it.

There's a lot of reasons why devs are not making roms for ZTE phones. Thing is with ZTE phones are they're not popular. They're not easy to purchase(well for their flagships, their low end phones are everywhere though) alleged Chinese security things that has been reported, I think they're still blacklisted in the US just like Huawei, I think. Their marketing sucks hence nobody has interest in their phones even if they have great specs. I think they're not even popular in China. Lastly, potential devs doesn't have nor plans to buy their phones, that's why nobody is making any roms for their phones. Now there are solutions for that. You can make your own rom for the phone or if you know a dev and he's willing to make a rom as long as you buy him that particular ZTE phone, because I doubt he's gonna buy a phone that doesn't interest him.
That's why before I buy a phone, I make sure to research first if the phone has lots of devs making tons of roms for that particular phone, so that I can be assured that my phone can last a long time.
Btw. Somebody already tried to make a gofundme and willing to pay a dev to make a lineageOS port for the Axon 30 and nobody replied. That just shows you that ZTE phones are not that popular and even if somebody was willing to pay, nobody is touching it.

Another one, This dude is made some custom roms for ZTE phones and already made a TWRP for the Axon 30 Ultra but he is having issues on how to unlock the bootloader. Goes to show that even if you know how to make custom roms if ZTE is not willing to have the bootloader unlocked then nobody can make a rom for it.

Sorry I'm late. Yes it's a shame that ZTE stopped bootloader unlocking for their Axon phones. The phone would've been great had they allowed it.
Fortunately, the Vivo X70 Pro Plus has an unlockable bootloader, and I'm hoping the X80 Pro Plus gets the same too. The X80 pro already has some great features and the Pro Plus which will probably be released with Snapdragon 8+G1 and possibly a larger battery, say 5000 mah with the same 80w charging.
Vivo barely allows bootloader unlocking for their previous phones. I hope they allow bootloader unlocking by default for their new high end phones.

Hello,
I dont really know where to begin here so, hopefully someone on here can help. I have the ZTE Axon 40 Ultra, the Chinese version. I flashed android 13 beta 1 on the phone but, it has no google apps on it at all. I downloaded google play services apk, Google Play store and Gmail. None of them seem to work and it sounds like it all has to do with play services. Any thoughts and help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
How to make applications ignore the under-screen camera. The screen in games constantly shifts below the under-screen camera area. In the developer options in the zte axon 40 ultra, I did not find such an option to fix this. Maybe someone knows how to help me?
Damn, its 21 june already and only 6 post about 40U, looks like its kinda hopless to wait any root solution. Since then ZTE started giving zer0 f..k about community? I had Nubia Z11 there was a lot of people around that time, now its desert.
I will get my Axon 40 Ultra tomorrow. Is there anyone else with this wonderful phone?
I´d love to get it, but still no sure about the software, please dont hesitate to share your impressions

About the cameras, worse or better than your Vivo X80 pro?

Question Xperia overheating problem

Hello. I am following user experiences with this phone and lately i have saw that many people have started to complain about its overheating thing. I have almost bought this phone recently but after i saw that this is maybe not i software issue but more likely hardware i pulled back. Is it really so overheating that cant use in normal basis and maybe there was an update and issue fixed?
Welcome to XDA
You probably should hold off until the dust settles... if it ever does.
Variable refresh rate displays have been nothing but trouble. Android 11 and especially 12 are no blessing either.
Expensive hand warmers are getting popular it seems.
I do like to hear fresh current user experiences from I IV users. I heard that in USA there have been an update who fixed this problem.
I have Xperia 1 II and would like to buy 1 IV because there is i good deal. I dont want to miss it.

Hi, i posted here* my experience (notice it has been updated to firmware 64.0.A.5.71 (Europe) since that post (before was 64.0.A.5.27) , and as it was the 12th July , i didnt get enough time to check if there were some improvements for the heat worry with video/photo .
Also since i had been suggested by sony support to do a "software fix/repair" (translated from french) with the Xperia Companion App , rather than a factory reset .
i am not willing to do that because as you may know , for none-rooted devices only google Backup is available and not all google Apps will be restored with their settings (parameters, logins, passwords) , it depends on developpers choices, so, as i had already to do that for migrating from my Samsung S20 to Xperia I.IV , i spent 3 days to set/fix all apps (only 90/250 wre fully restored)

You're best off if you can find the root cause or a work around for the issue(s).
Updates may make matters worse and change the playing field which means more of your time to relearn it and new issues to find workarounds for
Play with it. Eventually you'll likely track it down.
This N10+ is still running well on Pie. Current load is over 2 yo, still fast and stable with minimal maintenance. Once optimized this is what Android is capable of... no need to upgrade or update. Security isn't an issue unless you do something stupid on Android 9 and higher.
I use ApkExport to make installable copies of all my apps including system apks. I use apps that support full backup data like Poweramp and ColorNote.
There may be a more recent version; not sure if this will run on Android 11 and up. Still works on 10 I believe.

You're welcome.
My Samsung Note 10+ experience is an example of why you want to work it through. Learn, and use the tools available to troubleshoot the issues. After you play with it for a while it's idiosyncrasies start making sense. Upgrade/update only if really needed and is a well researched decision. I think Android 9 was the OS's zenith. Android 12 isn't pretty and 13 looks like a complete disaster so far.
I paid for Poweramp too, no regrets it's the best.
I use ColorNote for my bookmarks. You can hyperlink directly to the webpage from ColorNote. I firewall block ColorNote however just to be on the safe side. It auto backs up to my SD card

Hi, i tested and saw no great improvment so far : before, using Video Pro [dont know the name in English , translated from french, but not the Movie Pro(with venice settings etc)]
with last but one firmware between 12' and 15' of video (indoor, not moving, pointed to my TV playing a movie) T° around 30°C) then stops ; with latest firmware 18'
i am using the default settings (see capture) but perhaps mine is definitively a faulty unit
If you cannot deal with the overheating, just return the phone. Sony will not be able to solve the lack of heat sink with software update and give us the full power of the 8 gen 1 chip. This phone should have been designed at least as thick as the camera units on it, including a bigger battery and a proper vapour chamber heat sink to utilize this chip to its full potential. I am a sony user since 2005 some sony devices are good some are better, some are totally junk. There is only one phone currently that did a proper job. "ZTE nubia REDMAGIC 7 5G Gaming Phone"

I will exchange mine next week , as i read in a Xperia IV test (from french website*) , that their first model was overheating and they asked Sony to give them another one to test

Is the overheating fixed? Or does still persist?
