I have exactly opposite feeling
That is what I get from many posts and therefor I wonder why our experiences are so different.
I wonder about this a lot too. My Xperia10III was freshly flashed, strictly according to Jollaāa published instructions, to 4.4.0.72, then GUI OTA upgraded to 4.5.0.16 and then again to 4.5.0.18. No problems or errors, and the flashing, upgrading processes all exited normally with no forced reboots or anything. At that time it just had the stock apps and Sailfish X license. This should have worked the best of all. Yet no mobile data in Android at all, Office365 accounts keep locking up and need to be deleted/recreated on an almost daily basis, bluetooth way worse than before, browser keeps restarting coz maybe its run out of the 6Gb (!) of RAM, and so on. Basically the phone is in a worse state than before on 4.4.0.72. But others can upgrade multiple times from even as far back as 3.x, use patches, openrepos, muck around with config files, etc and they have none of these problems.
After Upgrading to 4.5
OKBoard had broken copy/paste functionality
I uninstalled OKBoard and then there was no keyboard at all!
Apps positioning in the appgrid was messed up
MicroG doesnāt seem to work, I have reinstalled it MicroG Core, MicroG framework AND FakeStore
I made sure all the checkboxes are ticked but Uber still says Google Play is missing!
If I canāt fix the MicroG/Uber Breakage I will have to wipe my phone and start again with Sailfish 4.4
So, so far the upgrade to 4.5 hasnāt worked
There is an update for OKBoard which fixes the copy/paste function. Restart your phone or use the Sailfish OS Utility to see your keyboard back.
Update the fakestore from F-Droid and install the latest version, not the suggested one.

@pherjung thanks for your reply
I managed to use Storeman to get the latest OKBoard working
Using F-Droid I installed FakeStore (it said it was last updated 2 years ago) - I copied the repo and fingerprint from the MicroG website into F-Droid this afternoon
So Uber is still Not working
Yes, for me too. Also GPS not working correctly yet 
Look here for right FakeStore version:
Itās working well for me on my 10ii. I also installed Google play services for the first time and that is working also.
@kaari the version of FakeStore I installed through -Droid was quite old, the version linked to in the post you provided seems to have worked.
So Sailfish 4.5 can support MicroG
Yes it can. My banking application works fine on 10ii. No nagging about missing Google layers.

Well, I use GPS a lot and had difficulties locating my position both with Jollaās browser that doesnāt find GPS with google maps, then Iāve tried openmapps from chum still not working, only Petal Maps by Huawei works 0_p
PosteID in Italy unfortunately still not working on 4.5
Itās working for me. Xperia 10 II with MicroG.
just small update.
- after help from ārinigusā pure maps are working, it was not related to 4.0.15-18 update. Anyway big step forward
- problem with bluetooth appears after every restart. What helps is āSettings ā Utilities ā Bluetooth restartā
I have updated the gemini and xperia 10 II to 4.5.0.18. Gemini was flashed freshly and xperia 10 II was an OTA update.
Xperia 10 II worsened its battery life compared to 4.4. It doesnāt last a day. If I unplug it before going to sleep charged to 90%, I got 30% in the morning with no usage at all. In the htop I can see the process zygote64 showing up in intervals with 80-90% cpu consumption. It is clearly related to appsupport but does not go away when I shut it down it from settings.
Another thing about xperia 10 II is the cellular data. When I go to airplane mode and come back from it, data connection is broken. Restarting mobile connections/lipstick from settings/utilities or connman specifically does not help, only full reboot fixes the issue. Can someone confirm this behavior on their 10II?
In the case of the gemini the only thing I noticed, is no battery threshold feature. Is it correct, because it was not mentioned anywhere that gemini is excluded from it?
The volla ports (tested Volla22/GS5) also do not have the threshold feature.
A problem Iāve been experiencing since upgrading to 4.5 is that the native sailfish browser no longer redirects bankid URLs to the BankID android app which it used to do. Iām guessing the URL scheme somehow got deregistered when updating. It does however work using the Firefox android app.
Iād be interested to know if other swedish sailfish users have the same issue.
Iāve not tried removing and re-installing BankID as itās a hassle to setup.
Seems like a browser problemā¦ I can xdg-open the bankid-link from terminal and the app will launch. It does not let me log in, but perhaps because it is too slow to do this.
