Sunday Rant/Rage (Jan 26 2020) - Your weekly complaint thread!

Posted: 26 Jan 2020 03:11 AM PST

Note 1. Join our IRC, and Telegram chat-rooms! Please see our wiki for instructions.

This weekly Sunday thread is for you to let off some steam and speak out about whatever complaint you might have about:

Your device.
Your carrier.
Your device's manufacturer.
An app
Any other company

Rules

1) Please do not target any individuals or try to name/shame any individual. If you hate Google/Samsung/HTC etc. for one thing that is fine, but do not be rude to an individual app developer.

2) If you have a suggestion to solve another user's issue, please leave a comment but be sure it's constructive! We do not want any flame-wars.

3) Be respectful of other's opinions. Even if you feel that somebody is "wrong" you don't have to go out of your way to prove them wrong. Disagree politely, and move on.

/r/android reviews: Sony line

Posted: 25 Jan 2020 10:36 AM PST

Device reviews are everywhere these days. From big name technology websites to lesser known blogs, and to the rising stars on YouTube. You can find hours upon hours of review content on most any well-known device out there.

For those of you who like to hear about devices from actual users, though, it's hard to find a good place with reviews that aren't scattered all over the place. Plus, many reviews only showcase the device while it's being tested and might not reflect real-world usage over a long time period.

This thread is where you, the /r/android community, can share your experiences with your device. Hopefully users who read this thread can gain some valuable insight into a device they're researching to see if they want to buy it. This week we are focusing on Sony devices. We will also focus on other OEMs in the upcoming weeks.

Past threads:

/r/android reviews: Asus Zenfone line

/r/android reviews: Google Pixel and Nexus line

/r/android reviews: HMD Nokia line

/r/android reviews: LG line

Rules:

Please leave a top comment only if you own a Sony Android device.

1) Please specify if the device was purchased yourself or obtained from the company or a third party as a review device or a gift.

2) What device do/did you own?

3) What were your initial impressions of the device?

4) How did your impressions change over time? If you currently own the device, how do you feel about it now?

5) Feel free to talk about anything else you would like (eg. sensors, software, customizability, strength of the custom ROM scene, etc.). Remember, reviews are personal, so emphasize the things you feel are important! If you love or hate something about your device, let it be known!
