- My Xperia Z3 has double tab to wake, so presume it's a feature in the Z4, Z5, X & XZ too, never mind the other models.
- Go to Settings > Storage > Transfer Data to SD Card - yes you'll have to download to internal first, but you can batch move everything here.
- Glance screen, don't use it.
- Count indicator, eh, when you choose to transfer to SD (as above) the menu will count apps for you prior to transfer.
- Dark themes are nice, Xperia devices offer bright and dark OS themes.
- Don't use calendar.
- Slide down to refresh/sync - Swipe left or left to archive email - Swipe from edge of screen to open menu.
- My resolution for contact photos is fine, must be your OS.
- What device did you actually buy? SD card support is being driven by the wayside in recent years, only a handful of manufacturers still offer it, most seem to be phasing them out, which is very annoying.
- Podcast Addict has been crashing for me too, but I've gotten that problem with the offical Sony Podcast app too, probably best to download before listening, probably a cellular issue, lost packets, etc.
Apparently, my son was on something called 'Acid' and was shooting a bow and arrow into a crowd.

Huh, don't have that option. Weird. Hmm, according to people on the internet, Android no longer natively support apps running from the SD. Maybe there's an app to do it. - Count indicator, eh, when you choose to transfer to SD (as above) the menu will count apps for you prior to transfer.
Count indicator for mails and so on, not how many apps I have installed. - Slide down to refresh/sync - Swipe left or left to archive email - Swipe from edge of screen to open menu.
Sure, but just talking about slide gestures for mails. Archive and delete aren't useful to me. - My resolution for contact photos is fine, must be your OS.
Seems to be a random issue across various Android platforms apparently. - Podcast Addict has been crashing for me too, but I've gotten that problem with the offical Sony Podcast app too, probably best to download before listening, probably a cellular issue, lost packets, etc.
Never had the issue on my previous phone. I've been using OneCast instead as FiB suggested and so far that hasn't done it.
I am on fire, but an extinguisher is not required
