I see a new update for the Xperia 1, but I wanted to ask first if there are any major problems post update?

For the of it going to try a software repair via the Sony Companion.

Xperia wallpaper drains battery like crazy now, as it's always "live".

I've noticed it sitting at 52% of my battery use for 2 hours, with nothing else running, on my  desk at work, and the battery went down about 5% in about 20 minutes, with just the odd facebook/whatsapp notification coming through.

But Android 10 across all brands seems to be a battery drainer, more so for Pixel users, where some users are reporting crazy drains like 60% in a matter of 2-3 hours.

Looks like Google have some serious issues to sort, so we can get ours done too,

Oh and if you have Alexa installed on your phone, activate the battery optimisation.

Mine showed up as not optimised, active for 40 minutes and in use for over 12 hours..yet I hadn't opened it or used it, so it's running all the time.

It's like it's waiting for a command that never comes. Yet all other Amazon services were auto optimised.

Battery semes to be much better now, after a xperia companion repair.

My problem was solved by resetting all app preferences.

You mean Settings - System - Reset Options>Reset App Preferences.

You can also get to it by going in to Settings, and typing Reset into the search bar.

Omg, I shouldn't have done this. It didn't really fix any issue, by doing so I ended up having to go one-by-one through my app permissions when I use them; which slows my flow.

I haven't had major issues yet: just weird hiccups.

Problems:

• When you activate Voice Chat, all sound turns off on PUBG and Fornite.

Trouble Shooting

• Ear Duo - No sound when connecting, I had to delete the duo app and forget Bluetooth, and re-install all, then works fine.
• My camera stop working on the previous update; but that fixed with phone
• My music wouldn't search, but it fixed by changing and renaming the music folder.

New Features:

• Now you can plug in a type-c to Ethernet, as before when the Xperia 1 and Xperia XZ2 Premium you couldn't do that. You also get a new icon when you are running on Ethernet. You can turn off LTE, Data, and put on airplane mode.

• a new feature technique before Android 10, on YouTube, you can now you can choose your multi-window sizing manually. Which makes multi-tasking fun.

In conclusion, in all this update does everything it supposes to do before on Android 9. Compared to other complaints. I don't have game loading crashing issues, nor power drain. Fingerprint works perfectly fine as it did before.
