List of Android 9 (Pie) Bugs

To Sony: 

Please take a look in the list beyond that will be updated as users will be reporting, and PLEASE, dont ignore this!!

Bugs:

- Brightness; 

Automatic Display Brightness is slow. When your in a dark roomed and lock your phone and then go to a brighter room, the Auto brightness is still very dimmed and dark. It takes like 3, 4 seconds to autobrightness ajust itself to a brighter ambient. This deffinetly did not happened in Oreo and immediately startet after Pie update. Maybe its the android 9 auto brightness that google was talking about, but the implementation is bad in our phone.

PS Update: People said it could be the auto brightness AI wich is still "learning" but i will still leave this here for some days.

Ps Update 2: Im having a lot of "Brightnesse Manager" has stop responding error only when conected to charger!!. Another user also reported it and we bove had already repaired with PC companion. 

- Notifications;

In notification menu, it show how many apps are blocked for notifications, like "9 apps blocked" but there is no menu for taking a look which are those 9 apps that cant send notifications, you can only guess or take a look app by app. I mean, should it really be like this? because its sounds like another bad implemented thing.

- Night mode;

Another well documented bug from others. The night mode in dev option menu does nothing.

Android 9 - Customized DE , December patch.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ps: Yes, before you asked, we already made a Full Wipe / PC companion installation and those bugs are reported at least for +2,3 people.

If other people got other Bugs to report, wright it down here, and if another user confirmes than I'll take it to the list above so Sony can take a look, even thou I dont think they're going to do the fixing, but well, at least its registered.

- In-call volume

In sound settings there is an "In-call volume" slider. No matter how I set it as soon as I make or get a call it jumps back to maximum volume.

I just testet this and i dont have it. I called myself and my xz1c was set to minimum volume. it answered also in minimum volume.

Maybe a hard reset will help you (yeah i know, its annoying).

Not sure what you guys are doing or what apps you have installed - I upgraded my Xz1 Compact to Pie OTA, did reboot and since then the device works like a charm. No bugs, longer battery time - 3+ days instead of 2.5  before, super performance, quicker boot time. Thanks a lot Sony for making this great update avail to us!

Hundreds of users with different problems after last update. Yeah sure, must be our apps, not the release... 🤦🏻‍♀️

Sounds like - as I am sure Sony has sold more than a couple of thousand devices - that are running without issues. In the end only those are yelling which face problems, the rest stays quiet - common behaviour. And all I stated is that I am facing no problem with having more than 160 apps installed all running like a charm - lucky me 🙂

Another lucky user here who did a hard reset before the OTA update and reinstall all my apps from Play Store instead of restoring from backup, good battery life and liquid smooth.

I do observe the auto brightness issue as mentioned by the OP, but it's not a big deal to me.

My only complaint or disappointment is that my XZ1C still not supporting VoLTE and VoWiFi in Malaysia (DiGi) while most of other cheaper phones (Huawei, Honor, Nokia and etc.) are already supporting these features long long time ago.
