Solved: Android 10 update problems

Paulrobins93 · ‎15-01-2020

I've just updated my Sony phone with the latest android version. It's now started rebooting several times a day, sometimes in mid conversation. It's also hard to wake up the screen, you need to keep pushing the power button for 10 seconds. Any ideas how to fix especially the powering down problem? Thanks

Yeah, sounds like some conflict is occurring causing the restart.
Battery drain is down to software trying to cope with said conflict but can't hack it.
If the factory reset and reinstall doesn't clear it then get on to Sony customer services, but the first thing they will ask is have you done the reset...

@Paulrobins93

The general fix for issues after a major system upgrade is a full factory reset.

You can make a full backup of the phone first so you don't lose anything https://support.sonymobile.com/gb/xperiaz/userguide/backing-up-and-restoring-content-on-a-device/#gr...

Have you wiped cache since the update?
That has been known to fix issues.
What phone is it? I tried to google this and got no hits recently.
Have you encountered this @viridis (resident Sony expert)?

Thanks no not wiped cache, how do you do that please? The phone is a Sony Xperia XZ2 compact.

Thanks for full factory reset option, was hoping there might be something less drastic before I hit that option...

Hold power + volume up until you feel 4 short vibrations.
If that doesn't fix it, back it up on pc and do a full factory reset using Xperia companion software repair tool

Thanks for the suggestion on power and volume up, will give that a whirl first

Thanks @viridis, tried your suggestion twice but didn't work: phone keeps rebooting itself. Battery is really draining at much faster then usual level. Could a new battery solve this or is it likely to be draining due to all the rebooting? Any other suggestions before I face a factory reset please?

As per my initial reply to you. There are no alternatives I'm afraid.
