A few questions

[iMott]

I have a Z1, it is now 2 years old and has a few glitches so I'm thinking of updating.
A few things I don't like about it that I'm hoping someone on here can tell sony has changed on new models or tell me ways to change if I am to get a new sony.
First and foremost is headphone jack output. I plug it in to a stereo at work and turn everything to maximum and can just hear it. But iPhones and galaxies come through loud and clear. Then suddenly you can't hear it at because apparently it will damage my hearing at it's pathetically low maximum volume.
Also bloatware, tonnes and tonnes of it. I have been told you can get an app to block it. But technically that would be bloatware to.
Some of their apps are good, but being able to get rid of one's I don't want would be handy.

The Xperia Z was great the Z1 improved a lot, it's even better but the Z5 its amazing, as for bloatware, aside from Nexus devices, Sony is one of the best brands on this, with less bloatware, if your phone is or was locked to a carrier/network branded then your carrier/network could preload a LOT of bloatware.

Phone is not locked to a carrier, but came with the optus apps. I could turn them of and/or delete them. I can't do this with some of the xperia apps that i don't use. And they keep using data, running in the background and giving me notifications that are just annoying.
But the volume is my main concern.
If the newer Sony's don't have that rectified I will most probably change brands. And the volume warnings, surely there is some way to turn that off.

Which Xperia apps? you know you can disable them right? you know that all brands add their own apps and services right.

I know all brands do, have had a few others.

The others also put more volume through the headphone jack.
Does anyone out there know if this was fixed for later models?
