Any patch notes or info on build: 42.0.A.4.101? - Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers

Just received the latest software today and of course it is August 2017 Security Patch but I see that it's 551mb file size and just intrigued as to what's new or anything else...
Has anyone received this and has anybody noticed anything different or performance improvements?

Just seems relatively large for just a security update, so far device performance seems a lot better. Haven't had a lot of System UI crashes as before and like others have experienced and not getting tinny sound now and then I was receiving before. I just think recording performance within the camera could be improved too...

slowdown after Sept. update

I ran the betas and was very pleased with performance. After the official September update my phone seems laggy.
Anyone else seeing similar lag? It's across a variety of apps.
Yeah few lags.. But more of big problem for me is im facing big camera issue and i dont know why it is occurring... Its just so bad quality right now... If anyone knows whats wrong with my pixel pls help stupid pie
Myself experienced the lag displaying the launcher icons after having the phone screen what i see is a wallpaper only for about 10 seconds. Anyone has a fix for that?

I have no problems with Pie's September update whatsoever - except of a RADAR trap warning App which has still to be adjusted to Pie. At least the DEV says they are working on it...
What I did was:
- Clean install Android 9 DP2
- Installed all updates from there without any clean install (since May IIRC)
Perhaps you also have to start fresh?
Huge lag. I never thought I'd see this on this phone. Very disappointing.

You never know until the Bulletin comes out on Monday.
My wants would be:
- Improvements in video recording sound
- Improvements in low volume speaker distortion
- YouTube videos play in the center of screen
- Improvements to memory management
- Additional video recording option (4k @60)
- Improvements to navigation gestures between recent applications and application drawer
Battery and heat improvements
I hope they are going to do something with memory so fortnite is not going to be killed because reaching 1.9GB memory usage.

Yes, Idk if it's only me or what, but... Fortnite crashes every time when I'm about to arrive from the parachute.
And the app kick me off ...
It's annoying.
Now, Idk is due to Lack of optimization by Epic ?

Unfortunately It's not. Android on Google pixel is not willing to give more than 1.8GB of ram to this game and kills it if fortnite crosses this mark. For example Galaxy s8 happily gives even 3 GB ram and game is working smoothly there.

In conclusion, we'll never be able to play this game decently in our Pixel?
Or is there a solution?
By the way, do you have the same problem?
I would like them to fix the damn earpiece clicking during phone calls and the speaker buzzing/distortion at lower volumes/certain frequencies. That and further improve memory management.

I'm looking for:

2) Fix of erratic failure in proximity sensor when bring phone to your ear.
3) Better memory management.
Anyone any idea when this OTA might happen?
Cheers.

Thanks for being this month's guinea pig. Just wondering, did you fully install TWRP or just fastboot boot the .img. Also, did you use Magisk 17.3 Beta or the canary build?

We are also getting very close to april?
Aren't android one phone producers forced by Google to release monthly updates? For me that was the only reason to buy one, because I was sick of all the lacking security patches with other phones.
I would buy a Pixel but I don't like to pay 90% of the price for the brand's name.
To be honest I don't care if they take the whole month... But I want AT LEAST one issue fixed here... Pie has lots of bugs (battery, SD Card, MTP Transfer, etc). Hope this wait is worth it.

The problems are there, you just don't notice them I think, I posted a lot of threads mentioning these issues and I'm not the only one that have them, try using a SD Card as internal storage and you will have the phone rebooting randomly, try copying to the device lots of files and folders (5GB+ of music, photos, videos, apks) and you will end up with a 23 hour file transfer (however I noticed that the problem situation improves a bit when I use a more powerful computer, but is still slow).
Compare battery life to Oreo and you will see it doesn't perform as good (this not only applies to Mi A2 Lite, lots of phones such as Google's Pixel and Essential Phone faces the same problem).
I also feel that fingerprint and other things doesn't work very well but that could be just me.
Anyway, what problem do you have with Bluetooth? I already enabled all telemetry for Mi Services and for Google to see if it helps diagnose the device (however since I'm rooted maybe they don't care, I don't think they support rooted phones)

Hello; I confirm the problem of the SD card and add that of the adaptive brightness. As far as the bluetooth is concerned, I find a volume too low, associating it with a external speaker.
My device is updated to February 2019

Android 10 Release

Hi all.
Yesterday, I've got Android 10 on my Moto One Vision (Brazil Variant). But my wife and friends with he same device did not get it yet.
I"m wondering if the release is already official, or only for MFN members? I did register there, but did not receive any survey or anything like that yet (Like it happened with my old Moto G5 Plus).
Did anyone else got the update? If yes, how's your experience with it?
Can you post some screenshots of the version number etc?
I can't upload a screenshot right now, since i'm at work, and uploads are not allowed in the internal network (Sry). But below is the info on the About screen:
Android Version: 10
Android Security Patch Level: November 1, 2019
Google Play System Update: 2019-11-01
BaseBand Version: S337AP_KANE_SGCS_QB2594168
Kernel Version: 4.14.113-g0d0c343-dirty #1 Mon Nov 11
Build Number: QSA30.62
So far, it's been a good update.
Dark theme is great, also, the notifications are a lot better on this one (Divisions between Active and Silent Notifications, as well as the ability to "Seek" the music playing in Spotify via the notification itself).
Gestures navigation were weird in the first hour using them, but now, they make a lot of sense, and "feels natural" somehow.

What software channel are you using? Also available in About Info and it's very important
I think Android 10 closed beta testing has started by 26/11 for Brazil and India. At least that's what I've seen in tg group.
Yeah, confirmed on Lenovo Forums. Seems like the update is live for the ones that are on MFN only. I forgot i was registered (And did not get any email).
My software channel is: retbr

I hope and expect the final release to come in mid/late December. Would be a nice X-Mas gift
I'm from Brazil and I was not subscribed to mfn, I received the update yesterday, it's very good, very fast screen transition, but the app openings are a little slower, but I only have compliments so far, I'm finding it very good
Maintenance Release Notes for December says nothing about Android 10 but I guess we have to wait to be sure. Maybe they update pie first, then Android 10 at the end of the month.
Would be nice if it's stable enough to be released before the end of the year

hey man... i thought the phone may not see the update since motorola didn't even announce the timeline on their blog like they usually do, but are there any new additions to the moto app? like swipe to shrink screen, screenshot editor or the features seen in older non-Android One motorola devices?

The patches has so far rolled out during the same month, so why do you believe that the pie December patch won't be available untill mid January? Second half of December sounds more right.

Hey man, i'm sorry, but i don't think i'll be able to.
As per the requirements for the testing, we should not be talking about the tests on anywhere else except the private MFN forums, let alone help download the update...
I own the third Moto phone. In the base of my previous experiences I guess the stable 10 will not come before the end. I guess any January/February. I would like to be wrong in this case
Received a 94 MB update number PSA29.160-55-7 just now, still has the november patch but i guess its the preliminary update to Android 10 which i expect this month. Fingers crossed :fingers-crossed:

Question Slower after Android 13/One UI 5 update. Anyone else?

It seems like the phone is ever-so-slightly-slower following the Android 13/One UI 5 update.
Splash screens of various apps consistently appear for a few split seconds longer than before. In fact, at least one app that used to launched instantly now shows a splash screen for a fraction of a second before launching.
Is this just my experience, or do others see the same thing as well?

Download good guardians from the galaxy store and over the app galaxy app booster. Ran it and look again
I found that upgrading from A12 to A13 slowed my phone down. Did a Factory reset and was so much better...

Thank you.
But I'm trying to figure out if the small slowdown after Android 13 update is an anomaly or if most people experience it. Do you?
My phone came with Android 13/OneUI 5 preinstalled, but I later received an update with January security patch and I started facing issues after that update.
The scrolling works very bad, its like there are some ghost touches. When I scroll thru WhtasApp/Telegram chats, photos in gallary, webpages the scroll sometimes doesn't work, just like the screen didn't even register my touch. If I try to scroll fast, the scroll stops in between, just like a ghost touch or something.
I was also facing issue with fingerprint scanner when the phone screen is off for some time, but I got it resolved by removing existing finterprints. and registering new ones.
The scroll issue is a real bummer for me. I hope it get fixed with the next OneUI 5.1 update.
In Addition to what I listed above, I faced one more strange issue today. I received the January security patch AGAIN today. It's like before, the download size, update description, all is same.
The previous January security patch update I got was installed successfully, I could see it in the software section, I am not sure why I received same update again.

Can someone here please confirm if you are able to scroll faster? I mean, I have my old OnePlus 6 with me. If I do a simple test to scroll once in a telegram chat, OnePlus scroll backs to more number of chat messages compared to S21FE. The S21FE just scrolls to few lines.
Anyone observed same issue?

Yes. the scrolling on the S21 FE is much more stiff and "heavy" than my old J series Samsung phone. In addition, many screen taps aren't noticed by the phone, requiring me to tap again.
You should report it in the Samsung member app like I did. The more people who report these problems the bigger a chance that a patch will be issued.

Btw you can use your phone without reset when its a small update but its a totally new android version so you must reset.
