Android P Improvements - Sony Xperia XZ1 Guides, News, & Discussion

After 2 days usage, I can tell that they're a lot of improvements but something worst after upgraded to Android Pie.(I'm not talking about changelog)
===Improvement===
- Take less time to open apps(More faster than oreo)
- Overall performance increased(Before update I got 179K scores on Antutu)
- Faster rendering stuffs(NOT sure I felt it sometimes)
- Better Ram Management ( Adaptive battery actually restricted usage of unused apps)
- Bluetooth battery check on wireless earbuds or wireless headphone. ( I didn't see that on Oreo.)
- Lowest Bringhtness actually lower than before? ? (I can't confirm this.)
- And many more I can't remember ?
===Worst things that happened after update===
- Battery actually drained a little bit more faster than oreo. ( Even on screen or standby.)
**** the battery life is better after the Adaptive battery things identified the battery drain apps.****
- Mobile data sometimes shown no connection. ( I have S7 edge and it's got like 3/4 signal but in xz1 there's only 1 /4 signal or no service. ( I'm pretty sure about this)
-WiFi sometimes shown that connected but actually it doesn't load my YouTube video (Tested 2 times with S7 Edge and confirmed the problem.)
- Night mode actually cool but doesn't work right now?(It's new thing I know but just complaining about it)
Sooo if you guys find anything other than this you might wanna leave the comment so let me know the thing that you might notice like improvement after update to pie. ?
Thanks for visiting and read all of my stuff?

Is the smartlock-bug fixed? I mean where the smartlock feature stops working after a reboot.

Are the touch sounds the same as Oreo or do they use the ones for XZ2/XZ3? It's the one question I did not get an answer for in one of the other threads.

did Sony update the driver of Adreno540 or still using the 251 version?
that can be checked in aida64/display/GPU version

Yes smart lock features doesn't disappear after device reboot or shutdown. So no need to turn off trust agent thing as before.

i hear there is a lot of bugs. im not gonna update for now until they fix all issues.

Ok googel not working?

The best thing is that now DRM doesn't matter.
The Camera works with unlocked bootloader and doesn't need any fix!
I'm using phh treble rom 9.0, you just have to flash magisk and it will boot.

You are missing: new camera app with super slow motion 960pp in full hd (1080 p)

Oh phh treble rom boots and the camera works?! This is good news. This means that the other treble roms will boot too since they are built on top of it (I think).
Edit: Mind posting a short guide? Maybe even as a new thread, I'm sure many people are interested.

You can check my post here... basically what I did:
1- Update to Stock 9
2- Unlock bootloader
3- install TWRP
4- Flash A-Version GSI AOSP Android 9 from Phhusson, I recommend the gapps su version.
5- Flash Magisk
Done!
Later I did some experiments using gapps to install google camera 2 (legacy) and it works!

For me the best things in the Pie update so far seems to be battery life improvements. In previous 8.0 builds battery management in my XZ1 was somehow broken. It got massive drain overnight and even when I unplugged it in the morning, I only managed to get 3-4 hours of SOT during the day. Now with Pie it looks like this issue was fixed. Energy use of android system and phone standby is stated to be around 1-2% of the whole usage (previously like 20%) and the SOT is exactly like in the good old days when the phone was new out of the box. Today (with battery-priority stamina starting at 20% and all-time enabled mobile data, wi-fi and accurate location services) i got a massive 6h 23m of SOT. I'm very curious if this will become a typical score right now.

Maintenance update (1.1.A.0.1)

Anyone know what this is?
Been ignoring the latest .305 update notification, but now this shows up, only 1.3MB - does anyone know what it is / does?
Iv just had this update, installed it and can't see any obvious changes like the security patch update for august or October.

Excuse me, how do you state this?
Because of this
not sure its related or if i had it before
but i see in xperia care that i use more than 75% of my storage space
I have the same notification, both actually: the first one 23.5.A.1.291 and the second one 1.1.A.0.1 with my Xperia Z2
I updated it with the 1.1.A.0.1, it's OK, the phone don't reboot. But I don't update with the 23.5.A.1.291. I don't want to lose the root, xposed, and root apps (it was hard for me to have them on my phone (and I don't know why I can't access anymore to recovery, with locked bootloader)).
Anyone notice any additional battery drain? Might be just imaging it but it does seem like battery not as good.

i update 2days ago.. so its too soon to say
so far its 1% per hour(average) standby with wifi+data ,so.. you might be right
i'll continue to follow
the next night ill try without data\wifi\bt or stamina mode
my best record so far is 0.11% per hr (1% every 9hrs)
my worst drain yet is 15mins for 1% for standby (wifi whatsapp via browser)
i still didnt get .350 update for some reason
in 60 days we should've get android 7.0 i think (i forgot the date)

Apparently some Z3C report the same problem (like here) , not sure if it can be related. In either case I prefer wait and see if there is an evolution about this update.
I wasn't going to install it but you can't get rid of the notification and then it annoys me ?

Yeah the notification appear this morning and it annoys me too x)
I just stop the service, and freeze the updater app with Titanium BC, and it seem to work.

I'm not responsible for any damage to your device of any sort.
By flashing this you take responsibility of anything that happens.
Process at your own risk!
If you want to check firmware - please make backup. Better to store all partitions, at least efs and may be modem.
The last 3 weeks we with @bonuzzz worked hard to make stable firmware for t820 and t825 tablets.
Finally, it's time for the first release.
Instructions
1. Install twrp
2. Download the zip(s) - firmware and Google Apps additional package (optional)
3. Backup all partitions (it least efs) and store somewhere - it need to do - because you can loose imei
4. Full wipe all
5. Flash firmware and gapps
Work
Almost all working
Known Issues

Thank to my good friend @bonuzzz
Thanks to LineageOS team
Thank you so much
I hope the ROM is always better, as soon as I have some time I install it to report any bugs
Thank you very much!!!
I really dug the samsung apps for the s-pen. is there a way to install them after installing lineageOS? (sorry for the newbie-question)
Hi,
i've installed the ROM yesterday and i used it today in case of a working day.
I have noticed that he unfortunately does not switch to LTE - despite full receipt. The tablet uses at most HSDPA, which makes the ROM for me currently not really usable.
It is also a bit slower than the stock ROM, but tolerable - only the network connection is still a hindrance.
I bought the tab because I thought, as a flagship this device will surely get the lineage OS.
I am still very enthusiastic and really thankful that someone has made such a great ROM for this tablet- many many thanks to the devs!!!
regards
Ralf
Edit: after reinstalling this ROM is found the switch to change the preferred connection type to LTE. So i go on using it

For the 820 the GPS is not working.
Can we expect the same with this 825 version?
Thanks for your efforts!!
Ok so, I gave the rom a chance and to be honest it works quite well.
Kudos to Valera and Bonuzzz for the effort, this is looking very promising.
I don't use the S-Pen nor the phone-calling stuff so, my experience with this build doesn't include those two.
General usage feels snappy, I only had some trouble while playing video streams on the stock browser and firefox. The problem went away while using chrome.
Tried a couple of HDR 4K files on MX Player and they seemed to play nicely.
Played around with the settings, everything cool.
The only problem so far is a huge battery drain during normal usage.
Aside from that, this is an excellent beginning.
Considering this is just a 1st release, it's very stable.
If you need any kind of testing, I'm more than willing to help.

kainanmaki,
Thanks for the initial testing. I have not flashed this ROM yet. I'm still observing a bit before I do so.
I'm curious, how do you define normal usage? Also, are you able to quantify the huge battery drain?
Thanks much!

Well, you should. At least it could give you a good idea of what to expect when the rom is ready.
I have never used lineage on a tablet so I wasn't sure what to expect.
For starters, normal use is just what you can imagine, youtube, chrome, mx player (hdr stuff), headphones, couple of silly games.
After checking how stable it was, tried Xposed -sucessfully- and every module worked fine (amplify, bootmanager, rootcloack, xnotify,youtube adaway). The drain is severe, you could literally notice the % going down ridiculously fast.
What's worst, my normal app usage and settings are designed to not duplicate what I can already do on my HTC 10.
So no GPS or Bluetooth, almost no applications doing sync stuff that I already have on my smartphone. (Gmail for e.g)
I always force wifi to sleep when display is off. Again, I don't need another device duplicating my smartphone.
LTE data is also off most of the time (and LTE works as expected per Speedtest -70 mbit-)
But again, settings are tweaked to maximize battery, while using it and while sleeping.
I have used BetterBatteryStats to take some measures, the drain is related to the core of the OS services.
A simple comparison with Stock. I just have started debloating touchwiz (very happy with the progress there too TBH), and barely scraching the surface of what can be done on stock, BBS is reporting 6.25 minutes per 1% of battery. Roughly 10 hours of battery of non stop use. After removing 85% of Samsung bloatware and its services, it's going to look even better. Samsung never ceases to amaze me with their never ending junk. So again, the rom is not ready for primetime. But that could change fast.
IMHO, you should install TWRP and do a backup of stock stuff and take a dive. Even if Lineage feels like android for smartphones, still works wonders. And you can go back to touchwiz in 3 minutes...
EDIT: Forgot to quantify the drain. The android energy forecast estimated 3-4 hours for a full charge. Closer to 3....
i wish there was developer who would give us debloated, tweaked stock rom .. i know this is not the right thread for making this post, but still

Bugs in OREO. (Report here)

Hii.
So many of us has got oreo and many (including me) are still waiting. I was reading lgg6 forum on reddit and came across this post. Users are facing random reboots (4-5times a day), absolutely slow charging and device getting hotter etc which makes us feel whether to update the phone or not.
So, i created this post for sole porpouse of collecting oreo problems under single roof.
Report all the bugs you are facing with model no and region.
Link to the reddit post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg6/comme...eak_anyone_out_but/?utm_source=reddit-android
LG870, simply no bugs for me... No reboot, no overheat, no abnormal battery life...
Lg h870. No bugs at all
Sometimes is problems related to the dirty update, some apps or files are not well optimised to pass from nougat to oreo so it's better to do a factory reset and set all new when installing a big OS update. Also the problems with the charger or other things like that are solved by resetting the phone. When a machine is on a lot of hours whithout stopping (you don't turn it on) can produce some errors that are solved turning off and on the machine.
In my case, no bugs on oreo, what I noticed is that I have better battery life when I charge the phone when its on than when I charged when its completely off. I don't know at all because I did a few factory resets to try some new things on oreo and the phone has to set up itself with some days of using it.
H870 too, no bug but a poorer autonomy now, a reset has nothing to change.
Otherwise nothing better on my side, I read that the performance and the camera was better for some, I think the placebo ^^
Np for me! Before update you should format and clean update

You getting jio volte??
Edit: Nevermind, I read your post in other thread. Jio volte doesnt work in TWN fw. Sad to know
Sometimes some alarm keep the phone woken up.
This time com.android.phone caused an heavy battery drain.
Hi. I'm heavy "Smart Audiobook Player" user. After Oreo update (rooted phone with Magisk and ViperAndroid FX- all works fine) I have some problems using my earphones (LG Quadbeat 3).
Controllers +vol, -vol and pause become unresponsive (somethimes volume is ok and only "pause" not working). Rebooting the phone make the controller work properly, but not for long. I have to reboot one or twice a day to keep controller active.
Another issue is that suddenly Music app taking control over my audiobook player even if I force stop Music application.
Seems that i also had some performance problems with my phone. In particular it suffered slow loading of web content, surfing Facebook was almost impossible because it stuttered like hell. Now i flashed the Rom again with the LG bridge option "update error recovery" and this seems to have solved it (and i even didn't lose any data what surprised me).
Now everything is so much more smooth. I really hope that was a one time problem.
H870DS no problem at all after using V20a-SEA-XX oreo...
H870DS No problem at all.. feature packed Oreo is far better than Naught in smoothness and performance.

Not catastrophic but less good than before, on nougat I easily get 7hours 30 and on Oreo I get more often 5/6 hours..
I have yet reset the phone and I have strictly the same use, so Oreo is less efficient for the battery
After my oreo upgrade, wired headset controls stopped working. Press the button doesnt pause play or take voice calls.
Anyone having this issue n fix?
Update : looks like this issue is global.. Saw on oneplus and sony forums as well.. Big issue to me..

Oreo, Note 8 never been the same after

I am frustrated user of Note 8, received it early September 2017, been using without any issues until Oreo update arrived in May 2018.
Once phone was updated i have done factory restore and start clean, i have done same procedure twice as i am having the following issues running phone in high performance mode:
1. The phone used to run smooth in Power Saving Mode, now its sluggish
2. Pretty sure there is greater delay between finger print sensor reading and screen turning on
3. General UI laggy, in performance mode its no longer as snappy as it used to be
4. The edge panel can sometimes slide out but stutter on animation
5. Camera launching from the hard button press, can have delay or stutter to launch too
6. Battery feels like gotten worse
Anyone else can agree?

Are you on the original Oreo update?
Never had any problems...
I agree with OP. It has gotten worse. I use to go a full day without having to charge it. Now after Oreo, I'm at near 78% after 4 hrs of YouTube background play compared to 86 to 84% on nougat.
factory reset your phone. my battery and performance has only gotten better since 8.0.
Got to agree with everyone I'm on AT&T Note 8 running smoothly like butter no issues at all on Oreo.

This is nonsense, Note 8 got better with every Oreo update month by month, everything is butter smooth and battery is better than Nougat.

How is it nonsense? So because yours and others work fine, this person can't be having issues? Why do people keep making such ignorant statements without thinking things through?!
Others have had a bad experience with Oreo, and not just a handful(5).

He is probably busy posting other nonsense replies.
Have you seen any similar threads to mine with resolution? I dont sign in here much anymore, partly due to Note 9 software been so good that I felt it needs no rooting and was happy with stock setup and apps from Google play store.

I disagree. My Exynos N950F has still been smooth since the day I got it out of the box. I only got the base update to Oreo (possibly due to my CSC). My experience has been good so far. My phone has never been sluggish while playing games or multitasking using multi-window or App-Pair (whatever the feature is called in the GraceUI).
I'd suggest you backup, wipe (again), and restore your phone in increments until you find the root cause. I'm willing to bet that your issue is with an app that runs in the background. Are all your installs from the Google Play Store, and not APKs from questionable third parties?

As I said I won't be resetting for 3rd time, if it was dirty app I would of identified. If you are familiar with recent android features if got pretty at identifying bad apps too.
After each reset I gradually loadedvphone with apps and settings.

I'd flash latest full stock with Odin using full wipe. Better than factory reset for clearing out persistent issues. Aside from that not sure what else can be suggested. Oreo has been running great here with every OTA.

I suggest downloading the firmware of the version you are currently on if you care about rooting in the future and flash it with Odin. Seems like you're on v3 bootloader based on your post. Go from that direction with testing.
I agree with the battery being worse. For me standby drain is way higher on Oreo. On N I would lose about 5% overnight. Now around 11-15%. Phone is smooth though
Yes I agree oreo is laggy and a battery hog on my at&t note 8. Other then the android version being different I see no visible ui changes vs 7.1.1. Why do they keep changing the bootloader? Dont understand that.

Do you have a Snapdragon or Exynos device?
My Exynos N950F only drains 1% overnight, but I only got 1 update TO Oreo since I got my device (out of the box).
