Xperia 5 Android 10 (Bug List)

[KBadOne]

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.

I have also encountered a couple of bugs. I have made factory reset after installing Android 10.

Model: J9210

CDA: I don't know how to find it, searched the Net unsuccessfully. Is it necessary?

Market: Europe, CZH

Build: 55.1.A.3.49

CREATOR MODE

• once I switch the screen into Creator Mode, after a couple of seconds the screen starts to turn on and off every 2-3 seconds
• the only way to fix it is to reboot the phone and quickly open settings and switch the screen into Standard Mode
• the screen will blink again if you're not fast enough and don't switch the screen to Standard Mode in the first 15-20 seconds after reboot

STAMINA MODE

• for example I set Stamina Mode to activate once battery level reaches 30%
• let's say shortly after this I start charging the phone
• after exceeding 30% threshold Stamina Mode automatically deactivates like it should, BUT it still feels like it is still activated (even without Stamina icon glowing)
• to fix it you need to quickly tap on the icon to "activate" the mode and then tap again to really deactivate it

FINGERPRINT SCANNER

• it reads my finger 99% of the time, but sometimes there is a delay
• I touch the scanner, nothing happens in about 5 seconds and then phone unlocks

CINEMA PRO APP

• there is no way to close the app other than just to swipe up and then press "home" button
• after you pressed "home" button the app just crashes or screen turns off
• is it a bug or the app is just not designed properly enough? 

Hope my English is understandable.

@Barr32 

I recognise your problems.

Best way to proceed is a software repair. 

Your problems won't be gone completely but it will be a lot better.

[Barr32]

I did a software repair, two weeks ago and the problems are still there.

It is now waiting for a software update, there is no other solution for this problem/problems.

• Looks like the video stutter issue got kind of fixed with 55.1.A.3.112 update with the exception of Netflix HDR content. The video now plays fine on all streaming services but when HDR kicks in it starts stuttering and freezing! Why is this happening!!

• Battery charging speed from external PD batteries has been improved. Now I am getting an hour and 10 min vs an hour and 45 mins before the update from 15%

• Home Lancher Navigation still has the same folder animation issue as before!
