Issues since upgrading to Android Nougat

csamf271 — Mon, 23 Jan 2017 18:48:23 GMT

The update to Nougat has been great, save for a few small issues:
1. After some period of time, the lock screen becomes unresponsive to touch input. The phone continues to work, and I can still access the power menu / use the lock button, but I can't actually unlock and use the phone.
2. Pictures take a very long time to load in the album application, especially when zooming in.

I don't think there's any conflicts with apps, as I did a factory reset after installing the update.

@csamf271

Did you factory reset the device through the settings or through XC?

Thank you, I will try, I feel this is more so an issue with the Android Nougat update itself, and that other people may have this issue, but I will attempt a repair

had the noughat on compact z5

the worst update i ever had, (i had the z compact 1, 3 and 5)

sluggish, stops running, (like snap chat)

bad calling app interphase (older version better) fr example call icon tooo small always missed. and no favorites (which should be fixed and not changing)

photos takes long time to load in library, no more star sign in favorite in photo (u have to click on the icon on the right and not customisable)

notfications a disaster, cant tell which is which cuz all in white (older version had the apps icon) and cant unfold the contents in a specific notofication for a specific app as promised by noughat

clumzy in action for example its hard to turn the volume up or down it always hits the extreme

battery drains, defenitly! it doesnt help to put it in stamina mode

no quick action when hold pressing an app, like promised in noughat

when having a great thing going why change it, the only reason i updated s cuz of the notification on lock screen that tells u to update and forces u to, i tried to dismess it but it always pops up, otherwise i woudlnt update, now am afraid to buy another compact x, for this annoying notification

in my opinion, the older marshmellow was one of the best os on any phone.

my z3 compact is faster now (side by side)

now how can i go back to marshmellow?
