Removed features:
1. No longer able to longpress on dropdown menu items to bring up the related settings page. This was very useful, why was it removed?
2. Unable to change sound settings when screen is locked, and sound toggles are no longer in power menu.
3. No close-all button on recent apps.
4. Location based Wifi. This feature is completely missing.
Why were these features removed? Will they be brought back? Please?
Annoyances:
1. Having to drop down twice to get the full dropdown menu. Extremely irritating. Can this behaviour be fixed to make the menu appear in its extended state with a long slide and on its smaller state with a short slide or something?
2. Brightness slider right in the dropdown menu is nice, but no quick way to toggle auto brightness anymore. Could the dev team stick a little toggle somewhere in there?
3. No way to change accent color, it's always ugly orange (for example the swype effect). Why doesn't sony allow the user to pick a customized accent color in Themes?
4. Some UI elements still not "materialized", for example the little icons when you edit the home screen (widget, themes, etc).
Bugs:
1. X Reality doesn't seem to be working. I never use it because it makes photos and videos look overprocessed but I tried it and I'm pretty sure it makes no difference if it's on or not.
2. With Style Cover if you close the lid while doing something, then wait for a while (screen turns off), and open the lid, the screen turns on and for a split second the last thing you were doing on screen shows up before the lockscreen kicks in, this is a pretty nasty privacy leak because anyone opening the cover can get a glimpse of your stuff without unlocking your phone. The cover handling was always a little glitchy and weird looking though, Sony should really polish it, the cover is already very crappy by itself despite the price, and the software managing it seems to be even worse. On top of that there is no way that I know of to choose a background for the little window, in my case it always shows the homescreen wallpaper and not the lockscreen wallpaper.
Requests:
1. Could Sony make the volume controls similar to the way Samsung does them on their phone, with a little icon next to the slider that expands the controls to show all volumes (notification, media, alarms, etc)?
2. Any chance of a custom implementation for lockscreen Widgets? I know Google decided to remove them from Lolli, but Sony could implement them in a proprietary way?
3. Some way to customize accent colors or make custom themes right from the phone?
