Android N on Z5P Issue found so far..

Gippy — Wed, 18 Jan 2017 21:23:30 GMT

Hello thought I post to see if others are experiencing the same.

Upgraded to Android N.
Build E6853 (Z5p)
highlighting issues found:(so far)
1. not compatible with Google Now Launcher. (the phone icon doesn't appear, so unable to make phone calls)
Disabling/uninstalling G.NOW and the phone icon reappears.
2. Media volume has decreased to an unacceptable level. This is with noise cancelling headset provided. (tried with both Pandora and Spotify). On a scale of 1-10, in comparison to before the upgrade the max volume for Android N, is like a 3.

I can't imagine it's only specific to my phone.
Please comment if you are seeing these issues or others.

Check the music equalizer settings and Google Now Launcher it's not a Sony app, you might have to contact the Developer

After Nougat update call dialer app stutters

Hi... I've been using Z5 since a 9 mounts now and ni problem faced yet. But recently just before 2 days ago I've updated Z5 to Android Nougat and for the first time
1. Z5 got freezed.
2. Call and dialer app stutters.
3. Some settings in setting menu are taking more time to open than the usual.

But on the contrary to other users I am getting a decent battery backup or I'd say somewhat improved backup then the marshmallow.

@Abhixperiaz5

It'll be wise to reinstall the latest update, since it was a major update

I have the battery problem, it's drain very quickly after I updated to Nougat, only 5 hours if I use it not so much. The sound it's now very low too. Please gave us an update or a roll back until you have a solution...

Do not update to Android N

StarLeek — Tue, 21 Feb 2017 14:15:10 GMT

First of all i will give everyone a WARNING!!!!
DO NOT(!!) UPDATE TO ANDROID N

It clearly said 'will not change personal setting' that is not correct.
Everything in the phone is completly change. Everything i lade for my uses is gode. Everything looks, the new icons are wierd to see, Its Hard to find the settings you used to use.
Your contact app does NOT have the index anymore (the one that was super usefull) lockscreen where you could find for ex. ICE- contact are now gone, you need to first press 911 call, then press TWO Times in the ICE button, then swipe right in order to get information. IDIOTS!!

The biggest misstake IV lade, is to uppdate my phone.

I will ask Sony/Android /Google dev. WHAT THE WHERE YOU THINKING!?!?!?!?
Why cant i just remove the popup about uppdate whitout uppdate my phone? 👿

Do a vetter job...
