    Export playlists from Sony Music App

    Thanks so much for your reply, it's much appreciated! I was thinking it might be proprietary and maybe hidden/embedded in a way that makes it hard to find. I'll see if Sony have any suggestions as like you say it is probably not a widely known issue

    Export playlists from Sony Music App

    I would like to transfer (export) playlists I've made using the Sony Music app, to a new (non-Sony) device. The playlists are all referencing files in my downloads, which I'll transfer to the new phone as well. I don't know the format of these files, such as .M3U, .PLS, .XML etc, but if I...

    Not responding to touch input

    Thanks, no screen protector. If happens sporadically - sometimes a few times a day, then not for a few days, then a few times in a row, or every few hours, then nothing for a day or it might do it again more frequently. It's at least weekly.

    Not responding to touch input

    I’ve been experiencing this really annoying issue with my phone on occasion. Randomly, when using it the screen will appear to stop responding to touch inputs. The phone itself doesn’t freeze - so if watching a video for example, this continues, but nothing responds to any touch or gestures...

    UI stuck on screen

    I'm getting an occasional bug in tasker when I long tap a profile to select it, I then get a fragment of the area I tapped stuck on the screen. It stays there even if I close Tasker and force it to stop. The only way I can remove it is to restart the phone. Is there a way to reset the...

    Screen stops responding

    XZ2 Compact I have a recent issue with my phone, where I've unlocked the screen or am in the middle of using an app (web browser, Facebook, YouTube, anything, even the home screen and Android navigation buttons) and the screen stops responding. It's as if the screen has locked and is not...

    WiFi needs a nudge to connect

    For sometime now, possibly since the OTA upgrade to Pie/9.0 I have noticed that WiFi is very intermittent at connecting on my phone. I've noticed this more at home (as it's the WiFi i use the most often) - what happens is I'll be using my phone as normal, and notice it's using mobile data. I'll...

    WiFi won't connect - driving me crazy!

    Thanks for your reply. No my family members in question (my parents), both have Sony XZ1 phones on Android 9.0 as well. They don't use my home WiFi much so I'm beginning to think it might be something to do with my phone. I could connect to their router OK this week (mostly), but they have...

    WiFi won't connect - driving me crazy!

    I’m just about at the end of my tether with this issue! I imagine it’s quite common and been asked loads, but I can’t find a permanent solution, so it’s time to ask for help. The main issue is that WiFi on my phone a) Doesn’t stay connected, or b) has problems connecting. Often when trying to...

    Battery app for always on phone

    Thanks for this! I had a look and seems to do what i want but i was hoping for something a bit more straight forward like and app with a GUI that you can just install from Playstore, as this appears to require a convoluted install procedure, and then terminal interface to use it. In the end I...

    External battery charger?

    Further from the thread I posted about my ‘Dead’ Samsung tablet I’m in the predicament where I cannot charge the battery, and therefore cannot test if the tablet will power on with a good battery. This is using a replacement battery that I ordered, however I don’t know if it has charge in it...

    Does the Tab 3 7.0inch have the same battery connector, or do I have to get an 8.0inch one?
