WarrantytimeService message following update to oreo

[Tfox]

I just noticed that there is permanent message saying 'WarrantytimeService', appearing on the top left corner of my screen following an update to Oreo. I cant get rid of it nor does it do anything when you press it. Has anyone seen this before and knows what to do with it? Thanks

@Tfox @ryandt

could you post screenshots of the issue? 

[otif]

It is very annoying, the only way I have managed to not appear is to force to close the application, but when restarting it reappears.

@otif

What app did you disable to make it go off temporarily?

Do you guys have the single or dual-SIM variant of XZP?

[Oblit99]

Same issue here exactly. I got the dual SIM version.

I also have this error on my phone.

NOTE: phone is 100% stock, never been rooted or attempted or anything.

I made a quick video showing the notification and that it seems to be related to google apps / work profile account. Once I remove the work account the error goes away.

If anyone knows how to fix this, that would be great, thanks.

Hi Everyone,

After updating your Xperia XZ Premium to Android 8.0 (Oreo), you may notice a notification that reads "WarrantytimeService". We are aware of this behavior and it will be fixed in an upcoming software release.

However, please note that software updates are released at different times depending on the operator, market, region or country. Therefore, I am not able to give you an exact date for when a specific update will be available for your device. In addition, network operators and specific markets may choose not to use the updates for specific models.

When Work Mode is switched on, I have a persistant "WarrantytimeService" notification whenever i'm using Work Mode on Android 8.0. I can't remove or disable it by changing the notification settings. 

On my XZ1, this problem does not occur. 

Will there be a fix for this on the XZ Premium?

The post above yours indicates it will be fixed, yes.
