Metaloona — Fri, 20 Apr 2018 07:11:46 GMT

Since android upgrade to Oreo 8 phone not working properly have 2 phones keep switching off

Only way to get them to start is have to force restart of phones

Many apps not working properly or if at all

Can't clean storage to free up space

Since updating it as also wipe sd card

False, there's big problems with oreo sony stock rom, sony knows but it doesn't care until .75 was fine, after that just nightmare with some phones and firmware, you can check the forum

@Hakkinen3k I'm not having any problems on my XZP running Oreo, so perhaps the software repair is the way to go after all.

Companion for unlocked bootloader is useless, newflasher is the way but, some firmware are buggy as, so, i stay with nougat until 8.1... maybe.

Hi people

Thought I post to let you know

OK I tried Sony software companion on laptop

Phone wouldn't connect at all

Even after reinstall software on

Laptop?

Included reboot etc

So had to do a full on hard

Repair reinstall via holding volume down button and plugging in USB

To laptop

Took roughly 30 minutes

Then do reset to get phone up and running with Google Sony etc

The problem I found was could not do a backup before I did the hard reinstall so

I lost some call contacts and material I had on phone

I did have a backup on laptop but

Was out of date

And the over Google backup couldn't get a updated backup because of the issue of phone

Not even connecting to my Google account

So was annoying

Anyway at moment phone seems to be working OK

But still haven't put all apps back one

I do use Microsoft Office apps

But I'm a little bit worried so

I not using it on phone at the moment

Anyway like I said things seem to be working OK

I letting you know I resolved the issue via a forced reinstall

As Sony Companion wouldn't connect or phone

I've got both phones working OK

At the moment

But is very annoying to have to do

This the want to roll out Oreo 01 sooner than later and get rid of the bugs in Oreo 8
