No Android app functionality in the background (Xperia X / Sailfish 3.3.0.16)

Dear sailors, in our family we have three Sailfish devices in use. One of them is an Xperia X. And this creates problems.

WhatsApp messages are no longer received in the background. (Mobile connection and WiFi). The messages are only received when the app is started.

In this context, I noticed that the app settings can no longer be opened. (Settings > Apps > e.g. WhatsApp) Message: Settings are not responding (please wait / close). This applies to all installed Android apps. (No error message for native apps). So the "Starting background services when switching on" cannot be checked for individual Android apps.

Since I suspect that there is a problem with aliendalvik, I uninstalled the Android support and then reinstalled it. I also stopped and restarted the Android support several times and rebooted the device. However, this was unsuccessful. Android support at boot is activated. I think the Android apps are not running in the background for some reason. If you start the Android apps they work without problems. I would like to avoid resetting or reinstalling the system. (Xperia X / single, Sailfish Version: 3.3.0.16)

Does anyone have similar problems or a solution? I thank you in advance for any help or tip.

Kind regards, Sailaway
