Hello,

I like this device. After 2 weeks of usage I found one bug. But it is an known issue. The same issue happens on my Nexus 5x. When I have an incoming message, I read it and wipe it from the Notification panel. The same message pops ups again.

The second big is the signal drops on WiFi. When I have the smartphone in my hand, I see that the WiFi signal strength goes down. When the XZ1 is on an table the strength is good. I test it on the same position in the room.

Second one looks like a common issue due to antenna positioning. It is not a software bug. Your hand is just "blocking" the WiFi receiver, try with the other hand to see if the signal improves. This is a sadly common issue with many other phones, sometimes affects the network signal, sometimes the WiFi, it all depends on the antenna design.

Yes I think this is the problem with the WiFi reciever position. I have report it. Maybe the design would be better in the feature.
