Hello,

I'm running stock Android 8.0 (47.1.A.5.51) and recently I have noticed that manual network selection feature is either not implemented or not working. After selecting a network manually from the list of found networks the phone switches automatically(without even asking) to any other available network once the signal of preselected one is missing. As I live on the border between two countries it is quite a frequent problem and very frustrating one at that. I have system updates disabled; could you please comment whether Sony fixed this issue with a later SW version? Also if you know any third party app that can fix this I would appreciate a reference.
