This is the reason I am still not upgrading to Oreo. What a shame to ignore such an obvious fault in the software.

All users will be given a helpful tip: don't upgrade to Android 8.0 Oreo and be happy!

You can fix it yourself:

after installing you need to use PC with adb, give the app permissionis and all done.

I am a simple consumer and bought a smartphone not to become an expert on flashing smartphones. I don't have a computer at home. Why should I have a headache about the accordion in the status bar? Let Sony take care of it.

Sorry guys, but such a minor issue wouldn't keep me from upgrading to Android 8 For me this is purely cosmetic, and really irrelevant. No offence, just my personal opinion.

Good luck darling! Upgrade To Android 8.0 Oreo and come back here to the club of losers. Can you tell us all here at least a couple of advantages of Android 8.0 and then we except the disadvantages could not find anything. I came to this forum only after upgrading to Oreo. When everything works, what to do here?

Obviously, other people here would disagree with me, but I do find it useful seeing when network activity is actually taking place, so I like the arrows.

I like it also, but current sony implementation is bad because it moves other icons to the left from network icon when showing the arrows. Previously it was implemented better.

The smartphone is always accessing the network and all the icons are moving left and right. Users called this invention from Sony "Accordion". And Sony must get rid of it as soon as possible!!!

When will Sony finally remove the accordion from the status bar?

Ozon_Aleksei — Thu, 04 Oct 2018 09:07:57 GMT

Tired of this ugliness already!!!

Each new update Android 8.0 Oreo-another ugliness. Better simply remove the accordion from the status bar!

There is a simple solution for this behaviour that can be found on XDA developers.:smileyhappy:

Don't remeber where however.:smileysad:

Found a discussion on reddit.

I would be very surprised if Sony ever did this, as it can't be considered a serious operational flaw.

For me it is a very big drawback. And it's not the taste, but the fact that this endless movement to the left and right of all the status bar icons are very tired eyes. If I knew it was waiting for me after upgrading To Android 8.0 Oreo would never upgrade. My girlfriend has the same smartphone. I told her to stay in the Android 7 and jealous of her every day! Android 8.0 from Sony-disgusting!!! The Sony representative in this forum acknowledged the problem and concerns of users with this ridiculous accordion. But this man disappeared somewhere, and the problem remained.

Re: When will Sony finally remove the accordion from the status bar?

Strampke — Thu, 08 Nov 2018 20:20:50 GMT

So the man has to come back and the problem has to disappear.

Did you try the solution I mentioned before.

It solves your problem but it doesn't bring back the man.

I agree with you that this movement is not good software development and I agree as well that it should have been repaired by now.

Minus point for Sony software developers and a minus point that they don't watch and react to some serious complaints on the forum.

There was no security update this month. I suppose there will be no more firmware updates for the X Compact at all, because the device has reached its 2 years anniversary after the introduction in september 2016. Sony 's update policy for mid-end and high-end mobile devices is to stop firmware updates after 2 years.
