Hi @Jonas
I believe you do. I know you can't make promises here but it is really madening that whoever is in charge of thes things and decides what will be added or not ignores the feedback he gets from you or anyone else. It is common sense that features that are highlighted in the new software release (and tested in developer preview builds) are actually there when the final version of software is released - navigation gestures (in case of Android 9 Pie testing on XZ2). Yes general public feedback during developer preview testing might be 50/50 on love/hate for navigation gestures in time of testing and no one wants to anger 50% of the users. But that is exactly what the "man in charge" who made the decision not to include navigation gestures did. The right solution would be to give users the choice - what google did with update to older generations of pixels.
I put that night light/mode in as an example of past practices.I know night light/mode is available in XZ2 and XZ3 series but what happened with XZ1/premium? In Android Oreo we could take the "android-res-night.apk" (I believe) install it as normal apk then run adb command to install the overlay and we had night light/mode. It took 30 seconds to do it on completely stock unrooted software. It worked the same as it does on XZ2/XZ3. I know that as I have my XZ1 as a second phone.
Why can't a team of professional developers enable it in stock firmware? There is no neeed to answer this question as we all know the reason and that is why Sony is where it is..
I did not mean to attack you or anything and I am sorry if that is what may have been understood from my post. It is just frustrating that people in charge who get user feedback from you or users directly don't listen or ignore it and anger their existing user base. Instead of making existing users happy and get them thinking "Oh I am happy with this device, I should buy the succesor" they push them away from even thinking of buying the next device.
