Various bugs on fresh XA2 install.

Hello,
I have various strange behaviours on a fresh install of Sailfish X on a dual SIM Xperia XA2.
The phone has two SIM slots and was identified as a H4133 by the previous Lineage OS installation. But then the installation script (flash.sh) blocked at the following line:
PRODUCT=$($FASTBOOTCMD_NO_DEVICE -s $SERIALNO getvar product 2>&1 | head -n1 | cut -d ' ' -f2)
because the phone was identified as a H3110 (single SIM).
I installed Sailfish X for H3113 but indeed had only one SIM visible (and I really need two). So I changed the flash.sh script and the file with md5 checksums and forced the installation of Sailfish X for H4133. It worked well and I could see the two SIMs that work well.
Nonetheless various bugs appeared that make the phone not usable for the range of functionalities that I need:
- The Wifi hotspot is connectable but do not give access to internet.
- The GPS doesn't seem to work at all.
- MANY android apps do not work (many of them used to work on the Intex Aqua Fish that I had 3 years ago).
- After a while some Android apps do not seem to have access to the network (quite often Deezer that runs for long times).
- After few days, the Android Store shows app suggestions, on searching, show search suggestions but when launching the search, keeps on displaying : "You don't have <app> in your added repositories".</app>
The rest works perfectly but that is a lot and If I can't fix, I think on switching back to LineageOS since Hotspot and GPS are two features that I really need (and more confidence on working Android apps also).
Thanks a lot I you have clues (or had similar issues and fixed it)
I'm not at my computer at the moment, but those should all be solveable. What version of Sailfish do you have installed?

The last problem (Android apps) in your list should have nothing to do with Sailfish OS.
Hello,
Thanks for for the answers.
I did run the
fastboot getvar productand got H3113. As I precised, on LineageOS, in the settings, the phone was identified as a H4133.I first installed
Sailfish_OS-Jolla-3.3.0.16-h3113-0.0.7.23but indeed had only one SIM showing. I then forced the installation ofSailfish_OS-Jolla-3.3.0.16-h4113-0.0.7.24and both SIMs showed and worked, but I experienced all the listed bugs.Since then, I also have my contacts app that doesn't work anymore and I have problem with the charging that sometimes stops.
