Latest August update has not resolved issues

Love this phone after having the M2 Aqua but very frustrated that apps do not work. I have been told that there is a known compatibility issue that stops twitter from working at all and to wait for a system update. Well it arrived this morning and it has no difference at all to twitter! We have 2 XZ with the same issue on both but with different apps etc - it one day stopped working days after the app updated, one of the phones taking an extra couple of days for the app to stop functioning. 

Other annoyances include apps that worked on the M2 still do not work on this even though Play says the device is compatible (I presume whatever stopped twitter functioning did the same to those). 

Messenging app would stop when trying to reply to a text, this occurred also on both phones. The only way to reply was to start a new text which then joined up the conversation and brought up the keyboard to reply. EARLY INDICATIONS ARE THIS NOW WORKS. 

Only one if the devices will not allow the OK Google command to open Google Allo, instead opening Google Now for a lesser experience. It also is very un-responsive from the standby screen which is why we got chose these phones. This affects the phone that hasn't been updated yet so will try that later. 

Very annoyed we have waited for this update only for it to not be addressed! Anyone's XZ actually works with Twitter?

Sony have said the issue would be resolved in a future software update so a phone reset won't solve the problem.

Now Dropbox had decided to do the same as Twitter (only just noticed no photos were syncing to the PC)! I don't understand how these apps just decide to all stop working without them being updated and before the software update.

Hello,

I'm in France, a after the August update, i have the same problem.

Text messages take a very long time to be sended, et the answer to some messages hangs.

Also, when sending a message, there is a turning wheel on the left (processing message) wich takes a very long time to disappear. 

Lets hope the september update will correct this problem

Solution for the text messages (worked for me):

I installed the Contact+ application, to replace the default contact programm.

This application can send and receive text messages, including the current history.

I changed the default application to Contacts+, and that part of the problem is solved.
