I’m waiting it too. Phonehook did not install to my Xperia 10 lll. UK salesman started again to disturb me.

O-oh…THE question asked.
Rumor has it that the question will postpone the release with few weeks :grin:

Seriously though - I’m waiting for it too for my X10III.
But I’ve been patient because Jolla most likely need to handle the hick-ups with C2 before releasing 5.0 to more phones.

Right now they’re waiting on the working versions of the android open source project binaries they rely on to be able to use the various sensors like the cameras because the ones out now are broken. Specifically the camera doesn’t work on the last ones they put out in August.

There’s the free beta that came out in August, but like I said, the camera doesn’t work because of faulty proprietary driver blobs from Sony.

Jolla は現在、Sony から動作する AOSP ドライバーを待っています。現在使用しているものは壊れていてカメラが動作しません。 Jolla は、Sony Xperia デバイスをサポートするためにこれらを利用しています。

They’re waiting for the binary blobs from Sony specifically to make the Xperia 10 IV and 10 V work with any version of Sailfish. This does not apply to the X10 III or earlier Sony phones.

But, as has been said above, the assumption is that Jolla fully occupied dealing with all the C2 issues, so my guess is that it will be sometime yet before we see SFOS 5.0 on any other Sony phones.

Some of us use SFOS as daily driver.I prefer to wait longer than install some early build and make my phone unusable as C2.

Till now all the people using Sailfish OS have Sony devices starting with Xperia X and finishing with Xperia 10III. And all of the current devices in use have problems to be fixed! Instead of doing that
Jolla is creating more problematic software either for obsolete hardware device C2 or for Sony devices not ready for it.
Its been like that for 10 years and highly likely wont change.
Hopefully Russia will start selling Aurora OS devices so people escape from Android and iOS spyware.

I doubt that Russia has the economical influence to turn Aurora OS in something different than their military technologies. Maybe they’ll achieve to sell some licenses for governmental usage to their Satellites like Belarus, but broad consumer success I do doubt. …Hope I’m wrong though. :upside_down_face:

P.S. Also using Sailfish as a daily driver since the Xperia X-times. A beta-tester I prefer not to be, as for now my needs are completely met.

Need to say anyway, how much time sony will take to release this damn update?i assume that if binary blobs gets updated jolla will update the images straight away, as of course is their interest to make money

But what if sony does not update the blobs?i was just just wondering as to me it seems sony is taking this very slowly

Blobs are non-profit product for entry level phones in our case with 10 IV and V.Try to report bug or security flaw in BSD and start your counter :grinning: In most cases BSD zero day exploit in Playstation its patched up to 2 days max,while blobs are waste of time for them.Someone get paid to work on something without any profit.Thats how big corporations work nowadays.
