XA2 and 10 III: installs and runs, without account content can be browsed, with account (Google login doesn’t work) The Voice belgique plays, a lot of content is not viewable outside Belgium (creating an account asks for zip code and country and Finns are generally honest).

So check your microG settings.

Taking French in Middle School was worth it: I can watch Fantomas movies and now this :slight_smile:

I visited Belgium over the weekend so I can contribute to this thread, I think :slight_smile:

  1. Xperia 10 III since August '25 - I appreciate over the XA2 that it keeps more apps in memory and is more responsive

  2. Deutsche Telekom (roaming) - which got me 5G in urban areas. But I had to reboot the phone 1-2x a day, when mobile data was just gone and the Network utility in Settings didn’t fix it.

  3. SNCB, Villo and De Lijn: the sign-in worked because I had an Android Firefox installed, set to open external links in the app

  4. the Dutch-speaking region around Brussels and Gent - although I spoke English

Disabling IPv6 on WWAN has helped me there on the 10IV.

Hope you enjoyed your stay! :slight_smile:

@Ahtisilli. I haven’t installed microg. But that’s beside the point. I’m a Belgian taxpayer and can’t watch ā€œmyā€ public broadcaster on the devices of my choice. I also own a FireTV Cube, same problem. I just don’t get it. I’m very often in Germany and Austria. Their public broadcasters work flawlessly on almost any device.

Oh, you just want to complain. My bad.

auvio.rtbf.be seems fine with Angelfish from piggz (native enough?) and Firefox Beta on the 10 III.

Tested with

I know that some of the streams work in Angelfish. But the shows I’m interested in (cycling, F1, football,…) are DRM protected and won’t work. I had the same problem on postmarketOS using native firefox. I’ve been battling this problem for months. I even tried running firefox in an arch container with a widevine patch to no avail. So yes, I’m complaining, but not for the sake of complaining. RTBF have by their own admission recently focused on the main platforms: iOS and Android. It used to run fine on my FireTV until they decided to force play services…

It’s nice to see that there are still some Belgians around; I live in Leuven and am back on Saifish OS after just over a year.

But I depend on public transport, and that isn’t always easy for getting anywhere…

Most of the apps I use are Doccle, Itsme, Hello Bank, Money Lover, Vivaldi Browser, Myonlineagenda, Smart App, My Orange, Bpost, PostNL…

And my provider is Orange

I started with Nokia N9 - what a phone was that.

I was on Sailfish after Nokia N9, but left a few years ago for Android (Xperia III).

Now I ordered the new Jolla Phone first batch.

Provider will be Telenet.

Question 3: don’t know yet

Question 4: Dutch - Kortrijk - West-Vlaanderen

To my fellow Belgian tax payers: I managed to sign my tax declaration using itsme with the QR code from taxonweb. I was surprised that scanning the code worked straight away because this wouldn’t work on my backup Pixel6a with GrapheneOS. Anyway, a working itsme means another reason to use the pixel even less than once a month or so…

Very good news. Does this mean the clunky camera behavior reported above is primarily device related?

People who are unable to suppress a chuckle at the latest Sailfish OS version (currently in Early Access), unite!

I submitted positive report on itsme, also scan qr code is working now since update to SFOS 5.1 on my Xperia 10 III

Almost one month with my JP2026, finally wanted to configure my banking stuff. Argenta went flawlessly (edit: Mexem lite too), but Itsme is being a [..].

Er ging iets mis

Deze actie kon niet worden uitgevoerd. Probeer het later opnieuw. [011-0021]

Can’t seem to find anything about this error code online. I’ll do what it says, and try again later, but now I’m rather annoyed at this banking consortium.

Itsme has been doing that to me since an update 4 months ago.

I am still on XZ2c with waydroid though. I was hoping it would work again on the J2.

Are u using microG?

Yep, using the default install of J2. I guess I’ll keep my Xperia 10 IV around for Itsme then, for now, because I have it configured working over there. Sad. Hope I’ll find some time to poke the right people and gather the correct logs.

Now that the first deliveries are pouring in, we should probably start thinking about an actual meetup!

Same problem with itsme after entering an email address… The old itsme version on my 10III will stop working on the 14th. Bugger!

Did anyone get MyGov to work?

No, I asked them and they block access because they detect Sailfish devices as rooted. Not sure how to solve it.

I just read this, tried it on my C2 which had an older version of My Gov installed, 1.7-something, and miraculously it did indeed work. But then I updated it to the most recent version of 1.9.2, and it gave me the same error as on the Jolla Phone 2026. So it looks like they changed something important in between those two versions.

Looks like Mynexuzhealth has a similar problem. When you install the latest version, and you’ve never logged in before, it shows an error message saying ā€œUw toestel is niet conform. (code 4)ā€ and crashes immediately afterwards. I looked up the error, but could only find ā€˜code 2’ on their site, which is apparently linked to them using Google SafetyNet. But I remembered I recently had Mynexuzhealth working on the Xperia 10 II, so I installed the previous version (use ā€˜Manual installation’ in the Aurora Store) and was able to register. However, it still locks up after entering my pin code. On the other hand, I updated it to the latest version again, and the ā€˜code 4’ error message has disappeared. But I still can’t log in.

Edit: Turns out this is because, and you won’t believe it, they dropped support for Android 15, despite being used by about 15-20% of all Android users, and not even being two years old yet.
