Smart Cleaner is wreaking havoc in Xperia XZ

[billycoy]

Since the latest Nougat update, It is truly the Smart Cleaner causing the overheat, lag and battery drain of my Xperia XZ. After turning it off, my phone's temperature is noticeably cooler even if it's charging with a case. It became significantly faster too.

I even did a Factory Reset and uninstalled possible rogue apps before doing this, but I was still having the same symptoms. Now, with Smart Cleaner off, everything is better.

I do hope Sony Mobile can patch this update really soon because Smart Cleaner is a very useful feature of Xperia phones. For now, I will have it turned off.

I will also have this in check.

just to make sure that's the problem, could you boot on >>> safe mode for few hours

Few hours is how many hours? 24 hours can be few hours. One month can be few hours. The symptom is erratic. It can happen in 2, 4, 6 or 12 hours. With what I did, I just prolonged the usage of my phone (maybe in 12 or more hours), but I found out that it kept coming back within the day.

And I guess after safe mode, you will ask me to do software repair, then after that have it checked at my local reseller.

We are busy and we don't have time to observe and for those self-help procedures. I want this solved and addressed by Sony. Give us a possible workaround for the meantime and not some default templated CSR response.
