That's completely normal. Android keeps necessary services running in the background.
If you want to stop apps from starting (Like the totally useless CarHome), you can download programs from the market and "freeze" them.
You should not use Task Killer apps, as Android is designed to be dealing with tasks in the background on its own.

hmm okay, but if i dun have lg pc suite and i cant download through phone, even with wifi and all, what do i do ?
You can go to LG Mobile site and download PC Suite...xD
LG England said the update was released so at the very least its available in UK
i cant download pc suite since im on mac ! haha
Where did you hear that from? Just in case, I'm backing up my phone (I don't trust the LG software), and will see if an update is available for me.
Edit: I checked, and no update is available

Well LG Blog just tweeted me and said " Hi, there's been a few in the last month. Check - http://bit.ly/diMnoC "
So, basically a fob off and I'm sure there wont be an update when I get home.
Would like to be proved wrong though.
Hmm, well as you saw, I just tried, and it thinks that 10D is the most recent version. Just to check, I'm having a not very useful conversation with LG support via Livechat. . . progress so far. .
Mobile Phone Support: Hello, Ed . Can I help you with anything today?
Ed : Hi, I have an LG Optimus 2X with Software version 10D, and it's still
crashing, and having a black screen of death. When will the update that fixes
it be available?
Mobile Phone Support: Hi my name is Dave. How can I help you?
Ed : Hi, I have an LG Optimus 2X with Software version 10D, and it's still
crashing, and having a black screen of death. When will the update that fixes
it be available?
Mobile Phone Support: All Androids updates can be found online www.lg.com
Ed : That isn't answering my question.
Ed : Please can you tell me WHEN the update will be available? LG has
publicly announced that the fix has been released
Mobile Phone Support: So is the phone constantly crashing~?>
Ed : Not every day, but every week
Ed : It also randomly reboots
Ed : So does my wife's (who also has an Optimus 2X)
Ed : Hi, Dave, are you still there?
Mobile Phone Support: It sounds as though it may be a software error
and might need to be repaired
Ed : But LG has said that it has released a software update that fixes
it - e.g. see http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...ptimus-2x-black-screen-of-death-claims-955294
Mobile Phone Support: What country are u based in?
Ed : I'm in England, UK
Mobile Phone Support: Have you downloaded the PC suite and usb drivers?
Ed : Yup
Ed : http://imageshack.us/f/40/lgupdate.png/
Ed : And on your facebook page, when I posted the question. . .
Ed : LG UK – Life’s Good Hi Ed - thanks for your feedback. We have
determined the cause of the problem and have developed a software
maintenance update to remedy this. If you follow the link below
and follow the instructions, then this should sort the problem
out. Sorry for the inconvenience, and hope you enjoy the
phone's new lease of life

Ed : What I'd really like is two phones that work, without
having to fight with Carphone Warehouse (the retailer
I bought my phone from), so if you could arrange with
them to swap my two handsets, for two working ones,
I would then be a happy customer
Ed : Hello?
Ed : Are you still there Dave?
Mobile Phone Support: Sorry about that . We are having
some system problems on this side.
Ed : That's ok - did all of my messages get through?
Mobile Phone Support: I'm just catchinh up now. be with u
in amin
Ed : Ok, no worries
Mobile Phone Support: We will need to get the handset
booked in for the repair sir?
Ed : I don't understand, LG has stated that it's a software
problem, and that a release
has been fixed - my wife and I don't have spare mobile
phones to use whilst these handsets go in for repair. I
realise that you're in a difficult situation, having to deal
with irate customers, so please can you escalate this on
my behalf?
Mobile Phone Support: One moment please
Ed : Thank you
Mobile Phone Support: If the phone keeps on crashing it
would need to be booked in for repair. No escalation
can take place.
Ed : I'm shocked at the poor support LG is giving its
customers. It was me who passed the story to David Gilbert
at Trusted Reviews, and was then picked up by others including
Engadget. Obviously, as a customer, all I can do is complain
loudly, and not buy LG products again.
Ed : Unfortunately, I'm being driven to do both in this instance
Ed : If I book it in for repair, who pays for the shipping etc?
Will I have a mobile phone for the duration it's away?
Mobile Phone Support: What country are u based in?
Ed : England, UK
Mobile Phone Support: how old is the phone
Ed : I bought it in April 2011
Mobile Phone Support: We send out a bag with is prepaid.
Ed : But Carphone Warehouse are refusing to replace
the handset unless they see the fault, but as it's not
constant, it's impossible to make it happen in-store
Mobile Phone Support: 7-10 day official turn around,
but its normally quicker than that
Ed : And will I have to pay for a mobile phone to use
whilst mine is away for repair?
Mobile Phone Support: We do not supply spare handsets
Ed : So, I'm going to have to buy another mobile phone,
so I have one whilst mine is being repaired?
Mobile Phone Support: That is your choice sir
Ed : It's not much of a choice. Would you be happy?
Ed : If you bought an expensive mobile phone, only to
find out it (along with hundreds, if not thousands) was
defective, and you'd have to pay to get it repaired, and
still have a mobile phone.
Mobile Phone Support: I understand that you are not happy
and do symphise. However we can only give general
technical advice. Any personal comments should be
made in writing to LG Customer services
PO Box 645HuntingdonPE29 6YUAll comments are
taken seriously
Ed : Thank you, I will indeed contact them.
Mobile Phone Support: Do you require help with any other query?
Ed : How do I receive a prepaid bag for shipping?

Basically, if you couldn't be bothered to read the conversation above. . . There aint no update.
No, the update to solve these issues, which are currently being tested by carriers, wont be out untill week 23-24 and it will then be available for all countries at the same time.
The support centres dont have this information and will allways just give a general answer of sending in for repair.

Upgrade to version D
Hi there!
Did the upgrade to version D about a week ago. Still had issues with reboots from the first day so I did a hard reset to factory default.
You'd think things would improve!!!
Within 24 hours it started rebooting again. This time in a continuous loop. Even a battery pull couldn't stop it. Had to do a hard reset again. Naturally lost everything on it.
Have now asked Phones4u for a replacement. They've been very helpful. Even extended the return period. I reckon they know the 'phones has issues. Waiting for the replacement.
SO 'NO' THE VERSION D UPGRADE DOESN'T FIX THE REBOOTING PROBLEM!!!
I've been using XDA/HTC branded 'phones since 2002 and have NEVER had any issues with them.
If the replacement has the same problem I'll be asking Phones4u for non LG phone replacement.
In the meantime I'm using my trusty old HD2 to with a HTC Desire HD rom
http://mobile.engadget.com/2011/05/...orlds-first-dual-core-phone-necessitating-an/
Great stuff - the more coverage the better .
Nice! I just posted both today's articles on the Facebook page of LG Germany (http://www.facebook.com/LG). Let's see how much longer LG can remain silent about it.
heard from LG today who told me the update/fix was now available and gave me a link to their support page.
I checked my phone and it says i'm already up to date with v10D
yes - it seems that LG in all their "wisdom" still have no clue and beleive the earlier released baseband update would fix these problems - which it doesnt.
I have heard others in different parts of the world receive the same answer regarding the update.
Actually my mom's phone was almost problem free on EURO OPEN 10b. I updated it to Bulgaria 10D and she told me that the phone had shut off. I updated with EURO OPEN 10C and again it's problemless
So the update thats supposed to fix the problems is the 10D-update? If thats the case I'm throwing this POS away and never gonna look at another LG-thing again. That means throwing my TV out aswell.
Seems like LG gives two ****s about this issue and hey, why would they? They already got my money.
I have contacted BBC News tonight as maybe they can run story on the tech page?
Maybe if others emailed them too, they will be more willing to run it.
I copied the link to this http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/l...reboot-problem
and told them basic's.
BBC Link for contacting them.

Believe it our not, but v10D makes it worse. Our phone now has the charging freeze going more. Before v10D we didn't have that.
LG can go to hell. I have "upgraded" my wife's phone to an Incredible S until this **** is sorted.

I also have troubles on V10d. LG is just trying to buy more time here....
Jakob
My phone has been v10b (i gather it is a uk version of v10d) from the day i purchased it, which is almost over a month ago, phone shut off only a couple of times and rebooted once, may be twice till a week ago. Since a week ago it started rebooting almst every day once, mostly in the mornings. So can‘t see how that could be a fix.

Introduction
Hey everyone! I've created this thread to be used as a reference point to all discussions regarding the LG L90. Collected information regarding our device will be available for everyone, and I'll continually update this post with details and such that we're informed of. Now, I'm going to need help regarding "lone wolf" threads that pop up from time to time. If you create a thread regarding something, provide a link to it on this thread, and I'll include it in the respective categories that I'm creating. Since this device is relatively new, there won't be much here to begin with - but since this device has an incredible price-to-quality ratio, I'm hoping that this thread will foster development and cooperation with our newly-found brothers and sisters here on xda.
The Optimus L90 is latest iteration of the L-series, being the third generation, it's the successor to the Optimus L9 II. The L90 is a feature-packed bang-for-your-buck device, with a quad-core processor, adequate camera, and sports LG's innovative "Knock-On" and "Guest Modes," all while running 4.4.2 KitKat, right out of the box.
There are four major known models of the L90.
D405 - International, no NFC.
D405n - International, NFC.
D410 - International, NFC (I believe)
D415 - America, NFC unknown (T-Mobile, Metro)

How to Root -

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Visit this website, and download the .apk file to your device. Enable "Unknown Sources" (Settings -> Security) and open the file using a file manager. When it opens, tap install, and continue regardless of the "security warning" that Google brings up. Open up the application once installed, and tap the solitary button once. Wait a few seconds, and your device will reboot.
Next, install the most recent version of the SuperSU application. If the Play Store Version doesn't work, get the official version from Chainfire's site. Once SuperSU has been opened, tap Install and select the normal method. Congratulations on root!
KDZ Download Links -
Here is a guide on how to flash a KDZ file. These are officially packaged update files from LG themselves, and should be used in cases of emergency softbricks. A word of warning, these downloads aren't small. ( ~ 1 GB) If you have any questions regarding this, feel free to comment on the thread I've linked, or message me or @krchi. Best of luck! Be sure to have drivers installed. If you have yet to do so, you can pick up the Universal ADB Drivers here, credits to @Koush. If these methods don't work for you, head to the thread here by @creativetrendz. If all else fails, feel free to ask!

Recovery Mode -
We have access to custom recovery, thanks to @Quarx and the guys at 4pda.ru. If you speak Russian, I definitely recommend you check them out. Head to page 31 of this thread to find them attached in post 303! TWRP has a glitch where it won't recognize your touch input for a bit. Allow the screen to timeout, then unlock it and it will work fine. For me, and a few others, the recoveries aren't recognizing the internal or external memories - So, they're a bit useless, but some could make use of them. Can't hurt to try it out!
Tip - Going to TWRP Settings and settings the screen timeout to "15 seconds" (Or whatever the minimum amount is) will help alleviate you of some waiting time!

Tips -
- Use Google+ Photo's "Auto-Awesome" feature to remove/minimize the "fogginess" of some camera photos.
- Try using the "Knock-On" feature more, it's simple yet incredibly useful.
- Try settings the "Quick-Button" to your camera application, makes point/snap moments that much easier.
- Swipe left on the lockscreen clock to add widgets to it. Useful ones include Hangouts and Camera (accessed by swiping right)
- Set your "Plug and Pop" apps to include your music/audio/video apps when you connect earbuds (Play Music, Youtube)
- If you use a pattern lock, be sure to activate guest mode. Could come in handy.
- If you use a pattern lock, you can change the dot's "theme" in lockscreen settings.
- Swiping from the bottom center of the screen will reveal Google/Quickmemo shortcuts.
- Try alternate applications, such as Nova Launcher for your homescreen and Hangouts for your SMS.
- Tapatalk is an incredibly useful application, subscribing to threads notifies you of their updates.
- Set LG Backup to backup your personal data and apps every morning (2:00-4:00 AM) to external SD. Do it.
- Greenify is a must regardless of your root status.
- Disable the applications you don't use and clear their data. Carrier bloat is ewwy.
- Be sure to change your keyboard if you want a refresher, I recommend Google Keyboard.
If I've left anything out, or you want to see something that I should include, be sure to let me know. Looking forward to watching the community's development for this device continually grow.

The lovely 4X HD (P880 - Cyanogen JB) I bought in Taiwan last summer did that into a bucket of cleaning solution when I had to come back from overseas to clean up after the epic floods here in Colorado. It actually survived (lightning grab, rip back off, jerk out battery, let dry for a few days), but the power button never quite worked right after that. Otherwise, it was A-OK. Till it was crushed while working under a car...
Now on a perfect G2x that someone soft-bricked and sold on CL for $40. A few hours later it was rooted and 4.1.1 installed. The only OS that's open SSL vulnerable. Nice.
So want to do one of these L90's, but waiting till there's root access, then run to Bestbuy and snag one...
^ Here's to hoping a developer will take notice and help put an end to our plights!

Of course they are selling here quite successfully, which puts them in direct competition with Xperia M2 (~$337) and Galaxy Grand 2 (~$317) but the thing is that the L90 is cheaper at around $270 and it is an international variant

Nice! The T-mobile with encrypted/locked bootloader is 170USD here, cheaper, but not worth it since it's locked and not int'l. Last cell I bought in India was a Lava phone. Overheated just sitting on the table and burned out the display not much over a month after buying it...

After factory reset, QuickWindows app have only 3 apps : Clock, Weather, Music. I can not add app like phone or sms to it.
I already have the latest update. Anyone know how to fix it?
Hey there, recently bought my LG L90 and happened to stumble upon this thread. Just a quick question about the Google keyboard you recommend: it seems I can't download it from the Play Store, it just doesn't come up in the search results. Am I supposed to download it off of somewhere else or is it just incompatible completely for some reason?

That's odd, you should be able to.
Sent from my LG-D415 using Tapatalk
It just says it's incompatible, no details whatsoever.
EDIT: maybe it has something to do with country restrictions. Though that seems a bit strange...
Anyway, with a bit of research I downloaded an APK and installed it successfully.

Battling a locked bootloader on an L9 (P769) for the last few weeks has made me VERY weary of attempting the same on anything newer (like the L90), but I do want to try the L90 out. For my budget now (off and on out of work), it seems the best bang for the buck, but that's only if we can unlock it (and in a more reliable fashion than other bootloader hurdles...)
Has anyone been able to add their Nexus 6 ICCID to their Verizon account so that it shows up as an officially recognized device (with a picture and stuff) on the account?
I'm trying to add HD Voice to my account and it won't let me add it with the unrecognized device. I've run into this problem before and have had to swap my Sim card back into my MotoX that it is officially registered to, then add/remove account features on my line, and finally swap the Sim card back into my N6.
I thought now that Verizon is selling the N6 it would reconigze my ICCID, but it still said invalid device when I tried to update it myself online.
Thanks
I have not heard of anybody being able to update their phone to make it say it's a Verizon device but many many of us have turned on HD Voice. Your account should show it as compatible.

Hmm, whenever I try and it in on the Add/Remove Features page I get this error "Please ensure all required features are selected for XXX-XXX-XXXX" (with my actual #). There are only two features that look as if they're required and I've selected an option for both.
I wonder if it's because I'm on a business account.
I was at the Verizon store last night and was informed by the rep that within the next few weeks Verizon should be adding devices to their database so that its recognized. They tried to add my IMEI but it still would not allow them to.

Try to change it from the mobile app, I cant change anything online since a rep in the store looked up my account now if I try to change it online it shows that I have to call Verizon to make the change. Something to do with the unrecognized device .
I've been trying for 2 months now. Still no luck. Spoke w/ tier 2 this morning. Paperwork was submitted and I'm supposed to get a phone call back tomorrow to resolve the issue. I'll keep everyone updated. Not very optimistic though. I really could care less if the phone was recognized, but I was getting a $25 loyalty credit that dissapeared 2 months ago. Had to keep calling in to get the credit. At least they were happy to issue the credit every month. Just a pita.

Unbelievable. And its no wonder that the CFO of Vz warned investors last month of an increase of churn for the 1st quarter of 2015. How can you treat customers like this and expext them to be loyal? Makes me look real hard at tmo. Sad.
They submitted a ticket for mine but she wasn't optimistic that it would ever show anything other than unknown.

You are looking at the "Free Products" tab and not the "Premium Products" tab which shows up by default in the "Manage Products & Apps" page?
When I went to select Advanced Calling on the Free tab, there were no other products chosen in either tab except for (Free) Verizon Cloud on my (unrecognized IMEI) Nexus 6 line.

Surprisingly, I didn't have to put the SIM back in my old Moto X (2013) in order to place that order - it worked with my Nexus 6 holding the SIM and showing as an unrecognized IMEI in my family account, for some lucky reason. You can't enable this via the Moto?
Assuming your Nexus 6 is on a 5.1 level of Lollipop (which is required for HD Voice), perhaps you already checked to see if it's available to enable in the phone setting menu.
Hope I'm not confusing things, here.

I might be the one who confused things for you. The picture with Advanced Calling/HD Voice checked was just showing my attempt at enabling it. When I check it and press submit I get the error in the second screen shot. I'm almost positive the problem is that I'm using my N6 on my business account. I actually posted a different question in another thread, where I explained my whole process a little better. This just happened to be the thread brought back to life...
It's long and there's no real reason to bother reading it, but I'll post it here anyway...
EvanVanVan said:
Thanks for your help, the problem isn't the business account, it's that the combination of the business account and the non-vzw device (I think). I can't make any changes to the account while I've got my sim card in my N6, so when I need to, I put it back in my Moto X. But...
When I have the sim card in my N6 and go to my VZW business account page > click on my line > go to Add/Remove Features > I have a check box to enable HD Voice. But when I try to add it I get the following error "Please ensure all required features are selected for 555-555-5555." I think this is due to the non-vzw device status. There are only two required sections on the page, and I've selected an option for both of them.
Yet when I have the sim card in my Moto X, the HD Voice check box is no longer there...So I'm hoping if I can get a hold of [a Verizon compatible HD Voice] devices you listed and pop my sim card in, the check box will reappear and I'll be able to add it for my line.
And since I have a business account I can't use this page (http://www.verizonwireless.com/wcms/consumer/advanced-calling.html) to add it like another user suggested, because that one wants me to login to the regular My Verizon service, not the business one...

I called *611 and actually got a rep that sounded like she wanted to help. I explained that I had heard that people on business plans with nexus 6 phones not purchased through Verizon couldn't activate hdvoice via the website, but it was possible through the automated menu via *611. I told her that I was unsuccessful at doing it that way and she was able to get it done through the automated process on her end. Didn't have to transfer me or escalate the request to another level tech or anything.

Damn, sounds like you got lucky...I've tried and either they really can't help/run into errors like I do, or after hearing your story maybe they're kind of sketched out my device is showing up as unrecognized and are unwilling to help. The one woman did sound like she wanted to help, went through the process of filling out the paperwork to get it authenticated as a Open Development Device certification. But I never heard back from her and reading other peoples posts, it was most likely denied by the higher ups.

Try mentioning activating advanced calling 1.0 via the automated menu. After I mentioned that a few times she gave it a go on her end and I was all set.
Just to update, after a week of the runaround, the rep told me tonight that the only way I can get the loyalty discount is if I bought the phone from Verizon. They will not accept any other phones from other carriers, including directly from Motorola or the Google play store. It must be a Verizon branded phone. I lose my discount, so Verizon is losing my business. I'm switching to T-Mobile.
I put my sim card in my daughter's Droid Maxx to enable HD voice on my line. When I put the sim back in my T-Mobile N6 VoLTE does not work. I have been told by VZW tier 2 support the they tried to get my device added to their database and it was denied because I did not purchase it from VZW and my N6 will never be compatible with their VoLTE.

Well there is your problem.. You listened to a Verizon tech about this. It has been confirmed that volte works on non Verizon nexus 6's and the info on how to do it is in this thread.
You knew it was coming in the USA and it looks like December 19 is the day.

When you reboot the device it will do the updates on one of the reboots.This is true even if you "delayed" the update.
There is a way to prevent the previous update (you can see on this forum). Unless they found a way around that work around good chances that the same work around would work for this update. I would recommend doing the work around now and before this update.
The work around for previous update. Hope this will work for this update too.

I read someplace today that Samsung made a request to the makers of all package disablers on the Playstore to block the Note 7 from being able to take advantage of this... I'll try and find the article.
The one i found isnt supported by the playstore and still has the update packages. Look at the link JaguarXT posted
I highly doubt all the apps are getting on board. I used titanium to block a lot of samsung crap before this and I never got the last update and I won't get this update either.
According to what I read, T-Mobile will be pushing the update on December 27th, that's what CNET is reporting. It also mentions the dates for AT&T as well as Sprint.
Yep I got text from tmobile says starting 27 phone won't be able to charge so turn it in.
Looking like it's time to find a replacement, sadly nothing seems up to par
It will seem like a bold change from what I know and am used to but I'm considering the Honor 8. The specs don't seem to bad for the price point. But it's definitely not a Note 7. I was thinking about going back to the Note 5 but I don't even see it available on the T-Mobile website anymore.

That's because you had the good foresight to root, unlike some of us (pointing at myself). Samsung strong-armed all the package disabler devs on the Play Store to no longer block System apps! The way around it was then to purchase the new version anyway and obtain a license, uninstall, then side load an older version. But then in another update even that route was blocked by no longer granting licenses or something. Then someone provided another app independent of the Play Store to side load which is what is being referred to above. It's gotten nasty!!!! Our ranks will shrink further as those who are severely technically challenged fail to take measures to block this update. Personally, I can't help but wonder/worry if Sammy has some type of back door, but that's the conspiracy theorist in me, lol!

Why? You should have just kept the Note7 until the S8 came out... now you have an obsolete phone in 3 months.
I still have the Note 7, the s7 edge worked out in my favor actually. They gave me a Gear VR and now when the next phone drops I'll give my wife the s7 edge. She still has an S5 so it will be a nice upgrade for her.
I'm lost dude. So I have the second version of the Note 7, you know, the one that was supposed to not malfunction. Model # SM-N930T with T-Mobile. OK, so my phone did receive the forced update that make my battery charge to only 60%, I was able to use ODIN and put back the stock firmware, I installed PACKAGE DISABLER PRO and blocked the necessary items needed so I am now at 100% battery life. How is it that we know that is still not enough to block this new update that is coming to cripple the Note 7??? Maybe we are still safe, or is it FACT that it WILL still be forced even though we have the updates and tmobile and Samsung items blocked? Also, with what I have explained, can my phone still be rooted and install a custom ROM or am I too late or second version of Note 7 it was never possible???? Someone please help, I am not a noob, I have been installing custom ROMs since Galaxy S2, but at the same time I am no PRO. All info will help me and the community clarify this sticky situation. PLEASE HELP. AND THANK YOU ALL!!!!! Nothing compares to the Note 7, what other phone has IRIS EYE SCANNER, a SECURE FOLDER LOCK that you can add a secondary app of one you already have with a completely different account, you can lock your notes in SAMSUNG NOTES, an S PEN, A FREAK'N S-PEN for crying out loud!!!!!

I'm not 100% sure but the steps with package disabler that you've done should allow you to not have to worry about the new update coming through, someone correct me if I'm wrong.
As for rooting you're out of luck, only the original firmware that shipped with the phone was rootable. After that, this is as good as it gets for us firmware wise
Thnx

You aren't the only one.
I had that problem of the device not being certified suddenly since last month. Google Pay suddenly stopped working, and I checked play store and device certification is also not certified.
I did flash the SEA firmware compared to the original firmware that came with the device, which was the HK firmware. Not sure if that had anything to do with it.
If anybody has a clue as to why, please holler! No root, no unlocked bootloader. Stock SEA firmware ROM.
@lilkidz thanks for your reply.
I reflashed the phone a few days ago, and I'm still having this issue.
I switched my firmware from O2 UK to Customised UK to see if it made a difference, but its still the same issue with Google Pay
Again, no root, no unlocked bootloader. Just a stock rom.
So I wanted to update. I have no clue what happened, but just today, when I went to check if my phone was certified or not in the Play store, it showed that it was. I didn't do anything. It just changed.
I have customized sea firmware, and payment also stopped working, in addition to payment, the nfc module does not work...
Yeah, for me, I can use Google pay again. Without notice, I checked the device certification on the play store and it happens to be certified. I was able to add my cards again to google pay.
Same here, I contacted Sony and still waiting a reply

I have no problem with Google Pay the problem is you are not on your stock firmware. Return on the firmware your device shipped with and you will have no problems. Changing regions will cause this sometimes especially when switching from Asian to a European firmware

@xdamanu1000 Did you ever resolve this?
My phone fixed itself, but it then went back to not working.
Coincidently, my Netflix also doesn't work so there's definitely something weird going on, that the system thinks its rooted or something.

Never got it fixed officially.
Rooted and magisk all working the way I want it now.
Sony UK wasn't going to help and since I bought it outside Europe according to them, no warranty anyway so nothing to loose..
Wish I rooted earlier!

@xdamanu1000 fair enough.
I've raised a case with Sony Support UK.
Will provide updates on here.
Failing that I'll just root the device and go down the Magisk route.
Update 1:
Sony took my case, and after a bit of diagnosis they asked me to send the phone in for repair.
I sent it on Monday to SBE UK, who sent it back after 2 days.
Their repair form said "Fault resolved" but after setting up the phone again Google Pay still doesn't work
I've called Sony back, and I have to wait 2 working days for an escalation now.
Oh boy...

Lol,
This is what happened to me too
Fault found and repaired according to their report.
All they did was factory reset and I did that before using experiwhatever software on pc.
They then asked Sony Japan for their expert help.
Waited 3 months, then asked to send handset again .
Wasn't going to wait this long..
Rooted..
Never looked back
