Yay, I finally got the phone. I bought it last week but only finished setting it up today because I was very busy. Coming from the Xperia 1V, this is a significant upgrade. It ticks all the boxes. The phone has been updated to Android 17.

Congratz. That's actually a real nice colour. Almost lilac.

Yup, I like that colour. It can look like silver and blue at the same time.

Welcome to the party!
How do you like the magsafe sticker? Does it work well? how did you figure out how to exactly align the ring? I was thinking if I did a magsafe sticker i would need to do some photogrammetry and figure out the exact location of the coils based on the breakout photos of the 1m8's internals.
I don't use the induction charging much because I don't like the way it heats up the phone more than wired charging. It's also less efficient but the convenience is great to have for certain locations (e.g. car), for sure.

At the time of this post, there are two people on XDA who reported their updated 1m8 to A17 had some bugs that sent their phone into a boot loop.
Not sure if they had performed any modifications to the ROMs or otherwise or if they did a stock A17 update or flashed something custom.
Just wondering if anybody here has had any weird UI bugs since updating to A17.
Still no A17 available for the Japanese model.

Nothing serious. Just he press to wake on the sensor but seems to have sorted itself out, if it was a bug in the first place.

The only annoying bug I've encountered so far is Quick Share malfunctioning. There was an app update yesterday, too, but nothing changed. Regarding the bootloop, let's hope it's not the same one as the mark 17

The bootloop seems to be related to the A17 update with a UI bug of some sort. The XDA user said it had to do with pulling down the notification pane and/or adjusting the volume because doing so would crash some system UI thing.
I asked if their unit is stock or custom modded. we'll see what they say.
I don't think this would be anything like the 1m7, which was a manufacturing defect at the hardware level.
This seems more like a niche occurrence. but I was curious if anybody else was experiencing anything.

Nothing at all on my A17 phone. Everything has just run smoothly.
I have only 75 apps on my work phone.
On my private, still with A16, I have 120 apps.
