Please be kind I'm new at this & not very tech savie.

How do I get my photos taken on my Xperia XZ Premium phone to automatically transfer to my Xperia Tablet.

They always used to end up on my tablet without me doing anything.

That's pretty normal for mine. I'm a fairly heavy user, and run my phone with the 4K resolution bump.

The new world we all live in is the world of the quick charge. Throwing your phone on the charger for 20 minutes or so mid day will bump it up to a comfortable level throughout the day. Good habit to get into if 25% at 8pm has you worried.

I'm in the industry and honestly, most phones are about the same, but I find this phone better than most for the amount I use it.

Hi,

Try using Stamina mode, while it restricts performance you will get additional battery life out of your phone.

Hi, I've just purchased the XZ Premium, upgrading from the Z2. Very happy so far except for one thing. I'm really missing the 'recent contacts widget' on my home screen. As a temporary fix I've added my most frequent contacts to the home page, but it's not the same. Why is this simple but useful widget gone?

Its the brightness sensor for when auto brightness is on

After Oreo update,

1. Whenever the updates of apps shows and I tap update all, then the apps are starting to download after half an hour or so. Even if I want to download a new app from playstore, the downloading process gets started after more than an hour.

2. The gmail attachments are getting downloaded after half an hour and mail is getting synced very late. 

All the above problems have come after Oreo update. 

NOTE- There is no problem in my carrier network. The speed of the Internet is just fine. No issues with that.
