Crazy light sensor after Android 8 update

Hello everyone!

Today I have update my Xperia X to Android 8. During the day I do not recognize particular problems, except something strange. Now in the night I am experiencing a big problem with light sensor, it is completely crazy, seems to be hysteresis-free: the lights goes down and up with just a very slightly change in ambient lights! The phone is not usable without deactive light adaptation.

Anyone have this issue?

 Good evening I understand that it is not understood. The problem is that in addition to the problem of the keyboard, even if with so much effort I can write, when I send, everything I wrote goes wrong and is transmitted badly.

Buonasera comprendo che non si sia capito. Il problema è che oltre al problema della tastiera, anche se con tanta fatica riesco a scrivere, quando invio, tutto quello che ho scritto va in errore e viene trasmesso male.

I think that an hard reset is not a properly solution. Probably you will waste your time, and maybe data. Wait for an update.

Question:

Single sim or dual sim? I have the second one.

I have the same problem with the light sensor on my Xperia X F5121. I did a hard reset after the oreo update and it did not solve the problem. Also does Xperia X have the PIP feature? If yes how do you use it?

@SilviuBogdanPIP mode is only supported by some app, like Youtube, Google Maps, Duo, VLC and some other ones. in case of Youtube, you need to have paid Youtube Red subscription (available only in some countries). for Google Maps, PIP only works in navigation mode. once you start navigating to some place, you can press home and the PIP winow will appear. for Duo it activates when you start a video call and press the home button, and VLC has it as an option that needs to be enabled in the app's settings.

For some reason, it remedied itself on my X after a few days on first Oreo build.

I certainly haven't seen it on February patches build, so maybe it solves itself with that build for others.

Same problem here with the crazy light sensor, did anyone find a solution or do we just wait for an update ?
