Sony every time you do this i buy xaultra, xa1ultra, xa2ultra, these phone are very good but after every android update it's become ugly phones i think sadly this is the end for me to use sony phones.

And to every one do not wait for fixes because it will never come.

Indeed! Sony improve please camera driver for XA2's. It's worse than of XA1's. Sony take care please!

Android Pie for XA2/ultra worst in every aspect!

1. Problems with proximity sensor.

2. Problems with auto screen brightness.

3. Camera driver is the same as in 8 having a much more complicated design. XA1 family had better camera driver update in their time.

4. Wifi, 4G and Bluetooth have now have more interruptions than in latest android 8 update 15.1.a.13.123.

5. And many more unpleasant small facts.

SONY PLEASE FIX THIS UPDATE AND IMPROVE THE CAMERA PROCESSING!

Thank you!

I am a die hard fan of Sony Xperia and I know what I am saying. I am now using an XA2 ultra dual device. It's about one month since the official upgrade of 50.2.A.0.352 firmware has been released and this version have lots of issues including camera. PLEASE REPAIR IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

With great respect for Sony quality,

Alex

Please fix this!

A crop from a 800 iso manual setting in stock camera (colors are fake almost black and white)...

And a sample from a third party app camera at 40 iso automatic shutter but natural colors...

Someone can hear, see these?! Please Sony fix them, I can't recommand to any of my new friends XA2 family devices with this faulty driver and firmware upgrade.

Please!

It also have problems with proximity sensor. In very strong light it doesn't activate properly the screen off and then touching other apps and even turning off by airplane mode is easily done. Very unpleasant!

ADMINS DO SOMETHING!!! Inform Sony about this!

Thank you in anticipation!

I hope you are reading these comments Sony. It's very distressing to believe you don't take care of all your Sony Xperia users.

My Xperia XA2 Ultra's camera has been misbehaving since two days ago. On Saturday it was working fine.

But for 2 days, the back camera can't be accessed, just the selfie camera. Also, I can't use the torch function. If only the app could be updated like my other Android apps. It's very annoying.
