After a recent update, my Z5 is not that loud while listening to music via original earphones. Does anybody else have this problem??

Plus I haven't seen any drop tests in youtube with Z5, and I've search everything about it before i made my purchase. I only saw a guy's review of Z5 and he had cracked the back glass with a drop on a carpet, from a few inches height! I thought that this was impossible and texted him. He said: I know right? it just was a lucky drop man. I didn't even bother to check for cracks because of the carpet. But when I saw the hairline I couldn't believe it! After that drop I had a few accidental drops with it but nothing else happened to either of it's glasses!
It must have been the perfect drop at it's weakest spot I guess, because otherwise the back would have more cracks since then.
Well myself obviously haven't done a drop test, but it fell off my hands twice (one facing with it's back on a pavement side), and nothing happened to it except 3 very small scratches at the right metal frame.

I used an 100€ smartphone for about 3 months before Z and I can say for certain that it is far ahead. But even among my friends and family (my best friend's roomate has a galaxy j5 16, he has the best one among all the people i know) my Z5 is again far ahead in speed. Everyone around my friends and family knows that Sony means business because of me. Fven that roomate who has the j5 and used to dislike Sony (effected by the majority of people), when he saw Z5 in action he lost his words. Hell he even likes my best friend's xperia m4 more than his j5 because of it's hardware construction.
He has send his j5 at service for the 3rd time now because the new screen got burned again and doesn't turn on. Same problem all times, the screen. He admited that he was wrong about sony when he got to know my best friend's m4, and the fact that it doesn't require service every once in awhile.
So there is your answer from personal experience. I can't talk about flagships since no one i know has a flagship phone. Maybe except my sister who has a galaxy note 3, but she has it since two years ago.

A matter of seconds slower is not the end of the world I know but during emergencies or important days or you just want things to be done quicker then it matters. Yes Android can be a "generation" ahead when it comes to hardware but the one thing that annoys me with Android is fragmentation (oh here we go again), the slowness of updates, the seemingly ineptitude approach of OEM's and the poorly optimized software. Do you see this more on Sony phones or others?

After reading about it: Damn that's pretty annoying. But LG says it's not a widespread issue so I don't know. LG V20 is a damn great recorder as well though.

Android phones though pack a hell lot more in their software because android is an open platform, you can change anything in it's UI. Something that's impossible to do with an iphone, any iphone. Also the hardware on Androids is ages ahead. From camera to built materials certain Android flagships literally blow any iphone out of the water.
Sony Z5 for example is ahead with it's built materials and it's superior water resistance.
As for speed in opening apps the difference is just seconds. I don't mind that as long as my phone does it as well. Hell i got a 10 year old pc mate, and im ok with it as long as it runs my multimedia programs, and it does. Painfully slow at times, but it does.
Yeah I know I need a new pc..

Nothing wrong with this phone but you need to install 2 essential apps and transfer to sd card.. (1) Power Clean (2) CM security.. Free
