hmm.. those doesnt running in background most of time except gmail. Google App included map, weather, news & others..

haha. in my case, i feel it does improve quite significantly.. else those battery wasted in somewhere i dont really need.. i knew it's good effort from google to suggest us best route to go home, the weather & temperature also give me some webpage suggestions based on our recent surf history.. but indeed this may consume some battery behind the phone.. especially Maps & Weather which obtain our location info.

btw, just my own opinion.. it still depend on your personal usage..

I need Google Assistant sometimes, so I left it enabled most of the time. However, after disable location, my battery life is better and produce less heat.

I think that they also fucked up the memory paging list. For UI to flush and re-page from ROM back every time the memory run low is really a bad idea. this should stay inside the cache at all time.

App yes. System components no.

btw I also disabled that Google culprit.

The lag made it to Taiwan headlines lol. Some sleeping CS still asking you format and reinstall the phone. Obviously it is a serious issue, but some still treat it as individual case.

News

well i do hope they will look into it.
almost every night i will switch between multiple social apps before sleeping, if every morning also like this morning

everyday need to restart the phone now. if got unlucky, only after hours then need to restart.

That sounds bad. My uptime is around 90+ hours so far and OS memory usage is around 1.3gb or so. No slowdowns so far.

After disable google app, i disable movie creator too. Performance is better again but not sure how long it can go.

Using a flagship phone, like being used by the phone.

BTW, the lag issue is heating in XDA forum too. But still no response from sony.

Anyone here using rhioshield tempered glass ? Plan to get 1 for my phone , hope to listen to some opinion before getting the TG .

I think you should invest a little more on IMOS.
Their glass SP is much more precise than other brands.

IMOS is better than rhinoshield?

Yes. The cutting and quality is much more better than others, in my opinion at least.

You are using it now? Where did you gt it?

I bought it via their online store. They ship from Taiwan to here, hence may be expensive.

That's very expensive, u have been using it since day 1 u purchased the phone?

Nope. Here's my history of sp with my XZ :
Normal film > IMOS film > Devilcase AGC TG > IMOS Glass SP

I installed it on my XZ a week ago. After using IMOS Glass SP, the quality simply puts the rest of the SP I've used to shame. Although it has a premium price tag, I can't simply look at other brands after using it.

IMOS flim = non tempered glass type SP?

Yes. It's a normal plastic film coated with oleophobic layer.

For the front part of the phone, do you protect it with any case ? Or you just have the imos SP ?

Only silicone back case from initial launch day, until I start to use Devilcase bumper.
i only have the bumper now, no intention buying a case.
