Countdown function

Hi guys.

Just made the switch to Z3 from Z1C. Overall very pleased. And so far i just found this tiny issue. If I use the countdown and the phone has the screen locked a notification pops up i get 1 second of the alarm and then silent.

The phone is running on kitkat.

I did restart in safe mode, i did clean the app cache but no luck.

The countdown mini app works normaly. Seems even odder. 

The set time dialogue is the same. When i use the mini app the sound works normaly but the screen stays locked. When I use the normal one the opposite...

Thank you guys,

I would still need to fix it. It bothers me. And I a brand new unit... 

Out of topic: is it worth upgrading to 5.0 

The battery drain scares me

The battery will drain faster the first few days, but it will be ok after, a suggestion, update to lollipop and then re-install it, it smooth things out faster

I tested more and the issue appears only when the screen is locked and inactive. If I touch power button and do not unlock the screen the app will function normally.

I went to Sony shop and had the phone examined by a technician who confirmed is a 4.4.4 bug for this model and "warmly" advised to upgrade to 5.0.2.

Lollipop is still love hate so if the battery life is an issue I'll skip it for now.

I really appreciate your input guys!

Cheers
