I am not looking for a solution to this phone anymore.
I know these have been a known issue within the community for a while now and there is no solution to fix them. Apparently it seems our frustrating experience with Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra is being ignored.
The only work around I know is to restart the phone for it to work about an hour before all three stops again.
I have spent hours looking at this Sony support forum (plus XDA developer and Google Search) I can’t say if I have seen a Sony representative responded with an actual solution to any of the concern in regards to Wifi, data, and bluetooth connectivity issues. Which leads me to assume that (1) Sony Mobile knows about it and is unwilling to acknowledge it; and (2) the problem could be originated between Android 7 and/or 8 and the hardware, that Sony Mobile may not have the capacity or resources to resolve it.
As a consumer who spent quite a bit of cash (CAD $400) purchased this mid-range phone from a reputable tech company via my carrier, I shouldn’t have to spend hours trying to find a solution.
Aside from the above issues, I have problems with its glorified cameras (both front and back), specifically with the auto-focus. I am sure you can take great photos with this phone in a controlled environment such as in a studio, with a stand, proper lighting, and immoveable objects. As soon as you try to take picture in real life situations - taking family photos, fun time with kids, doing selfies, the results are far more disappointing because it can’t focus right. Furthermore, photo taken indoors is just bad for most of the time.
The battery, it takes 3.5 (THREE AND HALF) hours to fully charge from 0%. A full charge last about 18 hours under light usage, I am quite surprised the battery drains faster than I have had expected.
It’s a phone that should be enjoyable as shown on its product page, but for me its not. I liked the big screen and I liked how the UI works real fast, but it just too bad most of the time it can’t work right.
