Good Morning

After reading various topics decided to create this topic in order to alert the Sony, the following problems are being reported in the most diverse topics, after upgrading to version 32.A.0.253.

* Problems with battery;

* Problems with stamina;
* Smartphone heating up too much;
* Problems with Bluetooth;
* Problems with the camera in movie mode;

This weekend on a trip, my smatphone heating up too much, in standy by mode, even with all terminated processes.

The battery did not last 08 hours in Stamina mode (economy)

The camera in mode HD and Full HD movie, presented the message that the device was hot and closed, in less than one minute filming....

oleysa1 I also had that drainage and not charging issue, I bought a quick charger though and now it does charge in a rate the normal charger should.
This is totally unacceptable!!! It's not a hardware issue, this is blatantly a software issue!

What I cannot believ, is that nothing is being done! I contacted Sony support, they told me to take out the SD card, so I did, issue was still there!
I've done a software repair, if done a factory reset, after all those steps, the support member just ignored me and ended the chat.
Wth?
What kind of costumer service is this?
After I had serious display issues on the Z3, I was about leave Sony after sooooo many years, but then the Z5 line showed up. So I gave them another chance.
But after the update to. 253 we are having worse issued that the Z3+ aha Z4 users and it's all down to software 😣

Hey, i'm checking the carging in realtime with Aida64 app and as soin as i turned the automatic brightness and x-reality off, the carging rate jumped 30% up. Need to test now how it affects the discharging rate as well. In short - another product wuth nice marketing stories about new technologies/features inside but those are practically unusabke in real life. Just like dying Windows Phone i canged to Xperia, hoping to not get dissapointed again. Good job, advertisers, next time hire some coders instead of lying marketing gurus.

After trying out a Z5P with the previous android version, I can for sure say that it is the software from 32.2.A.0.253 causing every issue!

In comparison
Previous software battery OST: 6h14m
Current Software battery OST: 3h02m

Previous Battery temp. With screen on over 10min: 35°c
Current Battery temp. With screen on over 10min: 59°C

Previous rear device temp. With screen on over 10min: 36°c
Current rear device temp. With screen on over 10min: 49°c

Previous possibility to unlock phone via fingerprint scanner: 9/10
Current possibility to unlock phone via fingerprint scanner: 1/25

Display brightness has been cut down by over 15%

Often 5 or 6 cores active whilst doing NOTHING.

X-reality and Super Vivid mode causing permanent contrast overlays outside album or video app.

Stamina mode causing battery drain speed up.
Stamina mode causing heating speed up.

Quick charge works 20% faster on previous software.

Sony, c'mon.
Fix this software please. How could such a bummer be released in the first place?
Don't you check your software before release? 😱

Hi,

Today, I received a mysterious update, which was also dubbed as "32.2.A.0.253" - even though I had the 32.2.A.0.253 already installed and it ruined my phone (as I wrote earlier in August).

The update had around 34 MB and fot the whole day it seems that i solved some of the issues with battery drain.. I wil post update ina  few days...

Anyone else received this mysterious update?
