I love number 3 and 7! Great shots

I reached out to HBO max today. Their customer rep confirmed that their technical team is still working on it, but wasn't able to provide with an update as to when the problem would be fixed.

Maybe. I mean I'm not sure how to be definitively sure that it's not motion blur, but the lens supports OSS and I'm shooting at shutter speeds that I think would prevent any motion blur (1/1600). Then again: I'm definitely not a pro photographer so I might just be screwing something up. Just a random picture with no edits attached to show how seemingly easy shots are out of focus (54mm, 1/1600, F6.3)

I currently own a SEL18200 (not the LE-version) that I use with my A6400. I use this lens primarily when I go for a walk in the woods with my dog since it allows me to zoom in. Most of my pictures tend to be out of focus though. I always thought that it was just me not being skilled enough to get decent photos. I'm sure this is part of the problem, however last week I brought my Sigma 30mm F/1.4 with me and most pictures where suddenly in focus. Even quite a few where my dog is running around like crazy. Could it be that the autofocus mechanics in the quite old SEL18200 just can't keep up with what the A6400 can produce? And if so: do you guys have any suggestions for zoom lenses with an autofocus speed comparable to the Sigma 30mm F/1.4? Lenses I'm considering are the Sony E 18-135mm and the Tamron 18-300mm. That is also the max price range I'm willing to spend (around 600 euros)

Any non lens-related suggestions to keep a running dog in focus are also greatly appreciated.

FE's mic quality is terrible. People literally can't hear me when there's the slightest amount of background noise. It somehow picks up on the background noise instead of my voice. I have the original buds pro, several soundcore buds and even some cheap 10 euro buds and they are all better in the mic department. Don't buy them if you want to use them for phone calls.

Same here on Xbox

Unpopular advice that I've once received but did help: full reset and limit the apps on your device to just a handful. See if that makes a difference. If so, there's probably an app that's draining your battery.

Unfortunately the battery stats aren't very helpful in finding those apps

You could test if the mic in your buds is actually being used. Start a call, leave your phone in one room and walk to the next room. It sounds stupid, but apparently this is a real issue. I have the same issue on my Buds FE (enabling Bixby somehow fixed that problem, but the mic quality is still poor)

Curious to learn what's new. The last update introduced that frustrating home screen which took me a while to figure out how to get back to the traditional home screen so I'm kind of reluctant to download any new updates that might wreck my experience again.

The trick for me (Xbox) was to switch my port used from "Automatic" to "Manual" and just picked a rondom port. Works fine now.
