I have the Xperia 1 viii and I cannot believe that in 2026 there is no double tap to turn the display off. I have had this feature for years & years on previous phones!

Strangely there IS a double tap to wake the screen but who needs this when I just have to lay my finger on the fingerprint scanner??

I don't like pressing hardware buttons for such simple features. Retardedly the accessibility button shows up in screenshots so that's a non-starter...

I know there are some screen off button apps but who is going to grant an unheard of developer full access to their phone??

I've only just noticed this today and I'm not sure if it's since yesterday's update but my in-call volume keeps maxxing-out. Once in a call I can lower the volume but it's annoying to have to do this most calls. What is causing this bug and can it be fixed (by me)?

I have the new Xperia 1 viii​

Does anyone keep losing their status bar on the home screen? Mine keeps coming and going.

So many weird bugs on this phone.

Many people speak of emtry level Speysides for instance as being great beginner malts. What happens if you stick on these and others like them for life, are you still classed as a Scotch beginner?

Are people supposed to quickly leave these behind and start drinking heavily peated drams to avoid ridicule?

As a fan of Port Charlotte 10 and Laphroaig CS but also Glenmorangie 12 does that someone single me out as being a beginner?🤔

I'm experiencing 3 issues, one from the start and a couple of new ones a full week into ownership.

The original issue is battery stats in the battery usage section. The SOT is forever incorrect. It will start recording usage for a random amount of time; sometimes an hour, sometimes 24 hrs, and then it will just stop. Reboots of the phone do nothing to restart it. Only a full recharge of the battery starts the recording or usage time again. This is most frustrating with a new phone because I want to get an idea of what it is capable of battery life-wise. Once I've owned it for a month or two I won't ever look at the stats again but they should be correct!

My second and main issue is the fingerprint sensor. It worked flawlessly for a whole week and is now playing up. It is often dead when I pick up the phone and there is no haptic feedback when I press the fingerprint scanner. A reboot of the phone fixes this problem but for how long?

Also after a week with zero problems the camera app froze on me today.

Is anyone else experiencing any of these problems?
