SFOS 4.5 feedback thread

In short: Is there any positive feedback about the 4.5.0.19 update and should I as a prudent Sailfish OS user install the update or keep waiting for yet another 4.5.0 release replacing the previous one as stop release?

I’m on XA2 and since 4.5.0.16 was released I follow the feedback and reports about the update. I was reluctant to install 4.5 right away because I wanted to see some positive feedback first (sorry for not being daring enough myself this time).

Now after reading all feedback it seems to me this update might leave the user with a much less usable phone than beforehand. I’ve read reports about issues with battery usage, mobile connectivity and bluetooth-audio. I kept waiting for an update to the update. And I was happy to see a 4.5.0.18 coming up soon after (However, I didn’t install 4.5.0.18 due to the feedback that it apparently didn’t quite seem to resolve the issues mentioned above). The same goes for 4.5.0.19 for which bluetooth and battery drainage issues still seem to remain (found some posts from in another thread about this).

I might not be the only reluctant user wondering if I should install 4.5.0.19 or wait for another 4.5.0.x replacing the previous one as a stop release. Here comes my question:
Are there XA2 users around that can report some positive feedback about the update to 4.5.0.19 ? Are there cases where the update was not causing additional issues with bluetooth, connectivity or battery usage? Maybe there are only few users having issues and most others are as happy as they are quiet around this forum with the 4.5.0 update. I believe some positive feedback (if this can indeed be given) would encourage more users like me to finally install the update :wink:
