bad outdoor performance

[xperianz]

Hi i just purchased my z2 a week ago .all in all its an excellent device but one thing is really off putting.the phone lags outside usually in bright sunlight. Apps open slower and animations are really choppy.indoors everything is buttery smooth.Anyone else has this problem.

That doesn't make sense. Sunlight affecting the phone's performance, is it that indoors you are on wifi?

[xperianz]

No.i barely use wifi im on a data connection most of the time

Animations are laggy outdoors in bright conditions idk why beats me as well

Might be related to light sensor. Try to turn off self brightness control in screen brightness option, and see if it helps. Your light sensor might be broken.
