Just had a Update pushed out to mine. 58.0.A.3.31

Yep - same here, installing now

edit - apparently this enables wifi calling if you are on a O2 SIM according to the reddit thread

Can't install....need WiFi for a 75mb update LOL

Update done, said WiFi calling installed, but how do you enable as I tried a call with only WiFi on and it didn't work?

Case and screen protector has arrived and I am happy. Very nice piece of kit and makes the phone easier to handle as I was finding it very slipery with out. Also glad to have the screen protected as I got a large scratch on my XZ3 from a usb connector I put it down onto late at night after a call.

Is WiFi set as main priority? If you open the phone icon then press the dots top right and settings. Calls then WiFi calling. Make sure the calling preference is set to WiFi.

I can't find any WiFi call settings in there. Guess that update didn't quite work

Only works if you have an O2 Sim

yeah, O2 sim in phone, MyO2 says I have it setup, but I cannot see anything on the phone itself

I may may need to ask in an Xperia forum.

Still no notification when phone is plugged in on how long it will take to charge or anything on lock screen that it is charging. Just the small battery top right with the lightening icon to show charge.

Outlook, used to emails, vibrates every time an email comes in even though it's set not to. This also vibrate also happens when in DND.

What happens if you go into settings then just search wifi calling at the top. Does anything come up, as you need to switch it on in there first.

If you go settings then search lock screen preferences. At the bottom under show all notifications, is that set to show all ?

Yes it is.

Would another app resolve the battery notification thing?
I'm missing seeing how long left for charge, if it's actually set to quick charge etc like the Samsung.

Simmz · 24 Jun 2020 at 13:04

I don't see that on mine either, just that it is charging at the bottom.

GoonerStu · 24 Jun 2020 at 14:44

Mine shows the time when charging.

One thing i cant seem to get to work is the phone to link via Bluetooth to a Chromebook.

What's your settings?

Also screen protectors. What's everyone using? The one from amazon I bought sucks, doesn't fit correctly and every review left on it says the same. Sadly all amazon products appear to be saying the same thing.

WhiteHartMart · 26 Jun 2020 at 08:06

Another small update this morning - now on 58.0.A.3.39

edgedemon · 26 Jun 2020 at 08:57

To be fair, all phones suck in bright sunlight, but I was struggling to see stuff at times yesterday. That's the only downside I have found so far..

rodders · 26 Jun 2020 at 16:48

I bought a screen protector from amazon which is fine.

Any idea what the update did

Link below. Fits perfect, put phone in case first then slot screen protector after.

I have one of these already, fit is OK but I have been warned that the glue fails quickly. Can't comment on that yet, but it is a fingerprint magnet, worse than other screen protectors I have used before.
