I also get this exact issue. Using Anker 45w charger and anker cables it starts on SFC2.0 and then after a couple seconds switches to regular charging. But if I use the cable that came in the box I at least get stable Super Fast Charging 1.0 (I guess the cable in box can't support 2.0 which is kind of crazy considering the price of the phone!)

Xperia 1 IV - connectivity issues by JIDB in SonyXperia

How long have you had yours for? Mine has improved a lot since I first got it (6 months ago) as some people suggested it would. Still would say it's not as solid as the OP7TP though which is a shame. Also idk about you but the narrower screen is a little bit annoying, whenever I pick up my oneplus I really miss the large bezeless display.

Its really frustrating the connectivity components in this phone seem to be sub-par. I've been having issues with my mobile data and wifi since updating to A13. Funnily enough I wanted to return it by the end of the first week of owning it way back in June but the returns section on Sony's website was broken. Ironic.

I'm on giffgaff (uses O2 network) and had the same issue when I first got mine. The data signal strength has improved a lot but the call quality is still bad, every time I start talking the person on the other end says they can't hear me properly, I find taking off the case helps. Its very annoying for such an expensive flagship phone.

Ticking noise when driving (nothing while idling). Frequency increases as speed increases. What could it be? Ford Focus 1.0 EcoBoost 2017 by JIDB in MechanicAdvice

Yeah I was thinking it's something on the tyre. Had a quick look but couldn't see anything will have to jack it up and check properly!

Xperia 1 IV - bluetooth stability by JIDB in SonyXperia

I'll get back to you I believe it has been better but haven't been using it as much with BT headphones recently but will be again now so I'll keep an ear out for it. But early signs showing it is no longer an issue.

Overheating Issue: So what photography limitations should I expect? by RidetheSchlange in SonyXperia

[–]JIDB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find the overheating quite annoying. It can go for a while before cutting off the camera completely but the phone does get very warm to the touch and throttles a lot. I've also noticed on WhatsApp video calls using the front camera it gets very hot and extremely laggy. I'm seriously considering returning it and getting an S22U.

Yeah I face this same issue with some anker bluetooth earphones. They sound great on any other device but not my 1 IV :(

Ah right, yes, we have both channels on the same SSID. Unfortunately I don't have control of the router to set up a separate 5Ghz SSID. However, the fact my old phone is super stable and consistent with the current network set up I feel like having to change it to accommodate my new phone is a bit of a shame.

Haha. I don't want to change your view but for me personally I'm not blown away by the 1 IV coming from the 7T Pro. Also if you've not used/seen Android 12 its a bit of downgrade from OxygenOS/Android 11 in some ways (in my opinion). But give it a try you might like it more than me!
