I have to say, this update really fixed my wifi issues. On my router once I exited the room even if I had full signal it was taking forever to load pages so I had to disconnect and reconnect a lot. Now that issue is completely gone. This update clearly targeted the radios. Bluetooth streaming is more stable - no longer dropping out when LDAC devices are connected. Apart from that there aren't many noticeable changes. Might have slight more battery drain? dunno.

My G8141 (UK version, using in USA on AT&T) seems to receive the updates on the late side. For example, received .120 on September 4th. Anyone know of any special reason for this delay? Does UK simply receive it later, or could it be something with using the UK phone in USA?
What version of firmware are you using? (eg UK EE, O2 etc)

BTW, .137 finally appeared late yesterday; so far, so good. This is a week earlier than .120 appeared.

To answer your question, I purchased my phone unlocked from UK retailer, so no carrier-specific tailoring AFAIK. Would this information be in the Baseband version #? If so, mine is 8998.8998.gen.prodQ-00078-10.

not totally checked out the. 137 update but i think the battery does seem to drain a little faster i believe. i have noticed the odd freeze here and there, when pressing the back button which then tends to lead to the app crashing. hardly occurred before. Guess I'm the only one with this situation?

I've had the same issue with battery, got the upgrade two days ago and was a lot worse yesterday (down to 20 something percent by the end of the day, usually around 50) and again this morning so far. Was down to around 70% after 3-4 hours off charge and wasn't used much at all. Phone Idle was the highest percentage in the breakdown...

How come the XZP didn't get the October security patches? The XZ1,XZ1C, XZs,XZ, XP, and X got them while the Z5 series, the Z3+ and the Z4 Tablet got September security patches. Oreo in October For XZP? Otherwise it makes no sense. The XZP is the Sony flagship of 2017..

Maybe it will be Android 8.0 and that is the reason of delay.
