Check post #14 for full detailed update
I am creating this topic so we can share all the bugs found in the latest Android 10 update. I had the update installed for 5 days and was able to detect some graphical and performance glitches. If you have any issues please share it here so we can provide it to the software team.
Model: J9210
CDA: 1320-0725
Name: Customized HK
Build: 55.1.A.0.748
*EDIT* 12/12 added Media Playback bug
*EDIT* 12/17 added more detail about Media Playback, charging and added customization version
*EDIT* 12/23 updated info about Dark Theme auto rest issue
*EDIT* 12/31 added video showing folder icon animation glitch in Home Launcher
THEME
The system dark mode randomly resets to light mode, had to restart the phone to enable it again without manually toggling the dark mode switch on!- UPDATE 12/23** The auto reset issue didnt happen again after perfroming factory reset and software repair via Xperia Companion. The only time the system theme switches from Dark to light automatically is when the phone is connected to the car via Android Auto during the day time, which I dont believe its a bug.
COLOR
- Super Vivid mode, randomly gets enabled after restarting the phone which ends up bricking the creator mode.
MEDIA PLAYBACK
- Frame rate issue when playing live stream videos on multiple platforms, such as AT&T TV and YouTube TV. Ended up restarting the phone to fix the issue
- UPDATE 1/3** The issue is also affecting movie playback through the Google PLay Movie app
BATTERY
- Charging speed is slower, doesn't charge as is used to be using PD charger (will provide more info)
- UPDATE 12/17** The issue is only applicable to powerbanks. I used two diffrent brands with PD charging speed (18W) The battery took long time to fully charge (3+ hours). I was able to charge the phone using supplied 18W PD adapter (25%-80%) in 50 mins
HOME LAUNCHER
- Folder animation are not rendered correctly. For example, when opening and app within a folder on desktop and returning back to the desktop, the app icon replaces the folder icon for a second then defaults back to the folder icon (check video)
- UPDATE 12/31** added video
App icons in app drawer randomly disapper leaving color pallete in its place (see screenshot)- UPDATE 01/07** turned out an app was casuing this issue
app drawer missing icons
App switcher and app drawer animation are not smooth while scrolling anymore.UPDATE 01/03** App switcher and app drawer animation are behaving normally after switching Stamina Level to "Balanced Power Saving" option. The pre-selected "Battery time preffered" option caused all of the issued I had for performance and animation.

After doing factory reset and software repair for the 3rd time. I came to the following conclusion, and 100% sure of my findings!
COLORS
- Super vivid mode glitch exists randomly as default color setting after booting up the phone. When that glitch happens, Creator mode image settings don’t work at all! Try going to the “image quality settings” and switch from “standard mode” to “creator mode”. The image color temperature don’t change at all! It remains the same, check out the grey color tone. They are both the same tone when the glitch is on (check image below)
Vivid glitch On, standard mode
Vivid glitch On, creator mode
- I had to reboot the phone several times in order to get this glitch off, when I was successfully able to do so, the colors switched correctly to creator mode once it is selected and super vivid mode was not the default color after booting up and the grey color tone changed correctly which is a warmer color temp.
MEDIA PLAYBACK
- Video randomly stutters/freezes/frame skips through various streaming apps. I have tested this on Netflix, Google Play Movies, YouTube TV and they all suffer from this plague! You can’t watch anything on this phone after Android 10 update! I tried to find a pattern to when it happens or what triggers it, but I was unable to because it just happens randomly! Only default preinstalled apps were on the phone when tested this and SD card was removed. Tested on offline playback as well.
HOME LAUNCHER
- The animation issue with the Home launcher folders and icons (see video) only happens when the "system navigation" is switched to “gesture navigation” option. I guarantee you will have the same issue once you switch to that navigation style! Tested that on Xperia 1 and another Xperia 5 at a retail store.
Gesture Navigation
- The disappearing icons in app drawer glitch did not happen again after I uninstalled an app called “Snapmod” I think it was causing this issue!
CHARGING
- The phone still charges slow when its connected to a PD portable power bank rated at 18W. Check the images below to see exactly how much longer it took to charge it vs charging it using the 18W AC adapter supplied with the phone. Tested on Anker and Mophie products.
