What happened to Xperia Actions?

[gregorg1]

I changed from Xperia Premium to Xperia XZ3 and I´m really disapponted.

With Xperia XZ3 I lost Xperia Actions, the one and only way to start/stop  airplane mode automatically by time and location. Sony, Why do you strip all this good functions of your phones.

If I want a pure android phone I can buy Google Pixel.

Will this feature come back? Is there any substitution without using google assistant which wil collect all my data, or without rooting?

Kind regards

Yes I've tested several times and the Bluetooth does not start automatically.

To be honest I never tested it and don't know exactly what activates the Bluetooth while driving, don't know if it is the gps speed or something else, did you tested it while on the move?

There is an option for commute and turn Bluetooth on certain period of time. 

Or the older alternative is QR tag when you enter the car to tap NFC and certain options turn on and tap to turn off.

But actually if you just leave booth on. When you start your car the phone auto activates and plays song you were last on. Turning on and off yout bluetooth takes away only a little of battery.

It works so on my XZ1 xperia (nothing to do after 2 minutes when i started with my car).

I think sony has not been implemented this feature than android stock... sgrunf !!

My workaround has been to use automate (tasker, Macrodroid or somethingelse..)

Even on my XZ2 which still has Xperia Actions, they took the functionality of timed flight mode away, by "update". Seems more like "downdate". Same with other things worsening, I don't like. If I buy something, I do expect that the functionality stays very long, not 6 months only. Otherways it is a bad experience.

after update some function are deleted. 

example : in goodnight action the Wi-Fi Off option do not exist
