Coming from other Android based phones and recently upgraded to the Xperia Z1 Compact, I found the following enhancements missing from the Sony range:
Sound Settings: Be able to set the Volume for the Ringtone, Alarms, Bluetooth, Application Notifications, Tap and System Notifications as separate settings.
App Notifications on Icons: Apps like Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegraph and Textra usually shows the number of notifications circled in red on the home/app screens.
Contacts: Favorites and Contacts views was usually available in list or grid views (user could chose)
Contacts: Swipe actions (right to phone, left to message)?
SMS: Character count is missing in the default messageing application
Themes and colors: Option to change the system colors and backgrounds as a custom input? There is no theme available with a black/dark background, and the white backgrounds is quite overwhelming.
Home Screen: ability to circulate the home screens - i.e. from the last page to swipe again and be at the First or Last page of the list (depending on swipe direction).
Default Calendar widget: have different view options i.e. month view, week view and day view.
Walkman: Have the ability to select a folder to play
Hope they will consider these topics for the next update....
Hi,
I have tried such apps before, but it seems that in the core copile of the Android 4.4.2 flavour for the D5503 model, the Ringer, Notification and the System Volumes are all linked... which is verry frustrating.
Hope next versions will have this fixed!
