Android 13 update for Sony’s Xperia.
In Japan, updates have been completed for most models, from the latest Xperia 1 IV/5 IV/10 IV to ACE III. I’m here.
On the other hand, there are some problems that are thought to be caused by this Android 13 update, one of which isCan’t receive SMSpotentially serious symptoms.
We talked about this a while ago, but it seems that the same problem is occurring on a fairly wide range of Xperia models.
Sony also recognizes the problem that Android 13 can not receive SMS
The following is from Sony’s LINE official account (bot).
According to the description on this LINE,Sony is aware of the problem that Xperia cannot receive SMS after Android 13 update, and is currently considering measuresThat’s what I’m talking about.
It doesn’t mention which model it’s occurring on, but as far as I can see from the reports, it seems that it’s occurring in a wide range of new and old, high-end, and mid-range.
Also, SIM free version and carrier version are probably irrelevant.
However, a temporary first aid method is also introduced, and in the case of the docomo version, you can receive SMS by turning off the “incoming call notification service”.
However, since this is only for users of docomo services, there is no mention of how to deal with other carriers or SIM-free versions of Xperia.
In any case, SMS is essential for two-step verification and registration for some services. It is quite fatal that this cannot be used, so I would like to expect improvement as soon as possible.
Considering the severity of the problem,It should be announced properly on the official website etc.I think.
