Defects of 5.0.2

[digito]

There are lots of change in the new z2 firmware. Most are behave issues, I don't like it but I can try to get use to it. But there are 2 that are fatal:

1. Memory leakage. When I play games, switch to messengers and switch back to the game. There is no problem with it on new boot 5.0.2 or old 4.4.
But after few days of use, I will be forced to restart the game since it's been kicked out of memory by the messengers. It never happened before. It will not help by closing used apps. (not so easy to browse opened apps as well)

2. Phone calls
This should be the most fundamental function of the phone but the experience becomes so bad.
to call a favorite number or the phone book in new version, one have to click the tiny icon in the right upper corner to reach the list. And it cannot be done by one hand.
Why can't we do it by scroll left right like before.

Hope this 2 issues can be fixed soon, and I'll like to know how can I go back to old versions.?

What I love is that X-Reality is finally on board.
1. What I don't is that "Smart" thigs haven't been repaired. I can pick-up calls with no "swype" but.. randomly at 80% of all calls. The Intelligent screen roatation doesn't work anytime, no matter how many resets we do it just can't be turned ON, don't mind much I never used it, but was just playing with all functions to be sure everything is working.
2. Start-up screen flash, randomly on button press we are blinded by 100% of screen brightness than it goes back to light sensor on screen-unlock swype, not very irritating but very noticable, specially when we often check time or inbox of messages.
3. Thanks, for close all icon, it helps a lot to organize things 😉

P.S: I've done all the inside diagnostics, the readings from proximity sensor and g-force are correct and pass the tests. The phone is dry, it didn't touch water or even wet hands for a milisecond, never.
