Does anyone know how to make the pedometer work?
Days go by without me taking a single step, suddenly I'll manage 600 or so in a morning and then nothing for a few more days. What is it I'm doing or not doing which is stopping it working?

There was another thread, I had problems myself for awhile then it started working again.
Not sure what was going wrong but it works for me now, maybe a rogue app?

I've done a factory reset and it seems to be working now. It has the same apps on as before. I'll see if it happens again.
My pedometer just stopped working.
Factory reset the watch, repaired etc. and still nothing. Just shows 0.
Anyone having this issue? trying to work out if it is a physical issue with the watch, or software.

Hi all,
for the last 5 or 6 days, my phone has crashed every single night. :-(
When I go to bed, I just leave it on the table, not charging, but with enough battery left to easily last for the night. The next morning, the phone is switched off and I cannot switch it back on, because the battery is completey drained.
When I charge and then turn the phone back on, it has done a "partial reset", meaning that all settings are back to factory defaults, contacts are gone, ... All accounts, apps, ... are still there, though. The worst part is that I cannot receive calls anymore either, in this case. Callers are immediately redirected to my mailbox, even though the phone has a signal and I can make outgoing calls without problems. The only way to fix this is a factory reset.
The next night, the same happens again.
Has anybody had a similar problem? Does anybody have an idea how to fix it?
Thanks and regards,
Andy

I'm sorry that I have no advice for you Andy, but I'm interested in hearing any solutions you may find.
What firmware/ROM are you using?

I am still using the stock Froyo ROM that the phone came with. The phone is rooted and I've installed a SpeedMod Kernel. However, both (rooting and new kernel) have happened months ago, so I doubt that they have anything to do with the problem.
(partial) solution found
Since a phone that crashes every night, using all settings in the process, is fairly useless, I decided that I might just as well trash it completely by trying (and maybe failling ) to install a custom firmware. So I downloaded Darky 10.1 and thanks to an excellent installation guide, I actually managed to install it.
Since then, my phone does no longer crash every night - it now reboots a couple of times a day The good thing is, though that after the reboot, the phone is back "in action" after maybe two minutes and it does not lose any data, setting or anything. So, it's not ideal, but much better than before ...
I was going to recommend trying a new ROM, but I found that as a workaround rather than a solution to your problem.
Did you perform a wipe or no-wipe install?

As I had pointed out in my first post, the crash that happens every night breaks something so that I can no longer receive calls and have to do a factory reset. Thus, the phone was basically wiped, already, before I did the installation and I then did a no-wipe install.
You are right, of course that this is more of a work around than a solution, but since I was thinking about putting on a new ROM for a while, already, anyways, it is a fairly good work around for me - and I really like Gingerbread and DarkyROM so far.

In the end it turned out to be a hardware problem and I needed to get the phone replaced.
Hi,
when I wanted to use Navigon the other day it did not get any GPS signal.
When I leave it on the map display it updates like every 10 minutes with somehwere that I passed while driving.
Restarts do not help and also other GPS based tools (like MapFactor Navigator) do the same.
Did this happen to anyone else / how do I recover from that (do not really like to try a factory reset since a) I do not know if it would help and b) I don't like to reinstall and setup all apps again.....)?
Thanks,
KalleH

Similar but not quite the same. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2029729
I start suspecting a firmware/SW issue?
Thanks, saw that...but actualy a "short" shutdown (wait 5 minutes) a few times did not help.
Yesterday evening I switched off the phone and only switched it on this morning and ....hey.....GPS working again....
Strange

It got worse for me (see same link above: gps stopped working a few days later)...in the end I hard reset it .... it seem that did it. No more issues since then at least. I do not know yet what caused the gps settings to be corrupted, which makes me a bit nervous since I might have to do a full hard reset again in the future (restoring all my settings + SW takes 2-3 hours for me; cannot root device because I need company access).
Even if GPS is now working since the app update I now have to stop my Navigon app and clear the cache everytime to be able to start it again....
I have no idea what is happening here but if I restart my phone few times it works. I even did a factory reset with no luck. I have had the phone for nearly two years and this is the first time this has happened so not sure it it is because I dropped it few weeks back or of a software update or a hardware issue.
Has anyone experienced something similar to this?

Has anyone had a problem with the touchpad not working?
I got the VR in the mail 3 days ago and used it for 2 days. Loved it! Took it out to show someone and the touchpad isn't working. Really frustrating..
So I charge my phone through the night and try again in the morning. It works.. an hour later, it stops working again..
Any ideas before I swap it out?

Not had this before, but did lose the ability for the Gear VR to activate when plugged into the USB after updating to Lollipop. I had to uninstall all Gear apps in app manager and start from scratch to get it to work again.

Yeah I completely wiped my Rom and internal. Nothing..
I really think this is probably a software rather than hardware glitch. Going to try swapping it out though..
I've had it since Saturday and so far its done it 3 times.
Once yesterday just when I was trying to open the phone with the fingerprint sensor and twice now today when trying to do something with the phone connected to Bluetooth.
This morning I was trying to set up the connection to my in car TomTom Toyota 2 unit for the first time. Got part way through the process then it failed then when i tried again the phone rebooted then it worked.
This afternoon I turned on my Bluetooth connected to the car but it wouldn't do anything then the phone froze and rebooted but then it all worked fine.
I'm not giving up yet but its making me a bit nervous having these issues so soon (better now than later i guess). If it happens more this week ill take it back and might see about a different phone.
Just curious if anyone else has had similar?
This Bluetooth device worked fine previously with my Nexus 5X also on Oreo so its fine software compatibility wise.

I haven't, and I use BT in the car everyday.
Thanks. I'll see if it happens again this week and take mine back if so.
No, I haven't had a single reboot in the 6 days that I own the device.

Have you tried performing a factory reset? It might fix your problem. If it persists, then you can send it back for a replacement.
Rebooted again today just in the camera.
Not tried a factory reset yet, will take it into store today and see what they say is best to do. Don't mind doing a reset but then its waiting again to see if it does it again after which isn't something I can easily replicate.
If i can get a new unit id prefer that so i can see if its just my current one with an issue, even with the pain of having to buy a new screen protector.

If the factory reset doesn't work, install the Sony Companion software and run a software repair on it. That may fix the issue. Mine hasn't restarted at all in the 24 hours I've had it, even after using Wifi, Bluetooth, installing lots of apps, using 3G and 4G... However, I installed Newpipe via F-Doid and it crashed at least 4 times on me when I left the video I was watching and came back to it.
No reboots. Two days of heavy use.
I factory reset it soon as I received it and firware update poped up.

No reboot, have had phone for over a week now.
What did the store recommend you do? Here, they always suggest you factory reset first, same with going to the service center, they actually do that first thing when you send in for repairs.
What did you eventually do? Did it solve your problem?

I took it into a store the other day and they had no stock so i'm taking it to a different one today. The store i went to said it would be no problem though as id not had it long. Its been rebooting still a few times just when sitting in my pocket doing nothing, ive had the must enter pin after reboot message.
Well on the way to store speaking to my wife (also with XZ1 compact) her phone froze mid call and rebooted. When she rang back she said she was showing a software update. Checked mine when parked and i had it too.
Sony rep happened to be in store today so told him the issue, he had one himself and hasn't experienced or heard of this but said to do a repair with xperia companion to clean flash the new firmware on both our phones. If still having issues then theres nothing more we could do ourselves and bring back to store to swap.
I have another week in which i can change phone or another 3 weeks to swap for a new XZ1 compact.
Will do repairs tonight and hope the problem goes away.
Repaired friday evening, phone rebooted randomly again after freezing sunday. Taking in today to swap for a new unit.
If any similar problems this week with the new one ill ask to swap to a different phone entirely.
Probably need a software update. Mine is running fine on 47.1.A.2.324

No i updated that on friday before repairing and the repair had that version too and it still rebooted sunday and today.
Me and my wife got a new unit now so will see how these ones go.
got my first reboot today after plugging the headphone... weird...

Not good if others are getting this too, lets hope it was a one off for you.
So far just setup and listened to music on my new phone and all is good but there's no pattern to what causes the reboot so will see how the next few days go.
My XZ1 Compact also has the reboot-issue...
Mine has just done the fourth reboot in just a little more than one week. In different situations, with bluetooth in use and without. Once when I tried to call someone, once when I was searching for wifi networks and the other two times in pretty normal "just using it" situations.
As not everyone is having those issues, I think it is some hardware defect and I need to get the phone replaced, right?

Difficult to tell. A hard reset might help but it could also be a problem with Android 8 on xz1 that wasnt very well optimized..
Id get the handset replaced, 'repairing' didn't do anything for my issue. Only time will tell if my new handset has the same issues and same for you.
Well this morning I got in the car to go to work and went to turn on bluetooth. Tried OK google no response at all, went to manually unlock and it sat on the lock screen my finger prints not working and wouldnt swipe up for PIN entry. Mic and camera toggle reacted to swipes but didnt do anything. Then it rebooted.
Bye bye Xperia XZ1 Compact, the potential was there but rebooting and dodgy camera is too much to hope for a fix for.
