Feedback on Jolla C2

It’s the same for me. After restarting, all sounds work, but after a while, the notification sounds go silent. The haptic feedback also stops. I’m not sure yet, but it seems to happen when I start using Android apps. Moreover, after some time, the built-in email or calendar app won’t even launch. Restart help.

In the settings the sounds worked.
Now after rebooting it works. I will look if it keeps working.

We have fixed some ngfd crash issues upstream, and they could fix those as well. So please check that again after the next update when it gets released.

No. Aftet restart sounds works some time and then it stops working (incuding vibration). Very annoying. I have missed many calls already.

Try turning off vibration for now, it might help.

I’m so close to having a new daily drive (C2). The only thing missing is VoLTE. All others what I want is niceties.
Thank you Jolla!

Day 4 with C2 as daily driver. I agree completely. Additionally it turned out I don’t receive all text messages either. So reliable text messages out and in is most missed feature right now. But hey, my colleague is happy with the Xperia10iii working nicely. So glad I took the C2 daily driver plunge this Monday.

Me to will donate my X10III, as soon as I get VoLTE on my C2, hoping we will get another dedicated SFOS user. :slightly_smiling_face:

I don’t really get, why the VoLTE Beta parts are hold back, as the GSM implementation is Beta as well. Why is the Alpha/Beta stage VoLTE implementation not just part of all the rest. If not working for ones provider, the user would have to deactivate it as has to nevertheless. So whats the point of limiting the probe size?

I tried to use it as daily driver but it is not reliable. I’m always in fear that i don’t receive some calls or messages :sweat_smile: But the worst thing for me is that it lags a lot. My first jolla phone run smooth without any lags.

I find my 10iii performing better than C2, so i am keeping 10iii as my daily driver. What features of C2 over 10iii you find better?

That is exactly why we are waiting for VoLTE.
About the lag, I can’t confirm. Mine is running smoothly as butter. Well, I didn’t load it with SIM yet, so that might interfere somehow.

And @ der_schamane:
Did you change the default “Preferred Network 4G” to something lower?

Constant nagging maybe?

Not many actually. It’s just that my X10III is in desperate need of a reflash and that I, as an older man, very much appreciate the larger screen.
Other than that, I give my hope to the X10V, I have laying on my desktop. :wink:

Yes, it felt smoother without SIM. Switching wifi networks now also requires a disable and enable before the new one is picked up. But, both of these certainly can be related to the ofono crashing.

  1. Except for having to use the huge text size so the browser looks like an 80x24 terminal the C2 ESR 91 browser is producing way fewer OoMs than any of the Xperias except the XZ3.
  2. The extended grid sizes are a huge boost to overview.
  3. Form factor better than most Xperias. Feels more stable in one-handed operation.
  4. Generally running very smoothly.
  5. Not even one lipstick crash on the C2 in 40 days (c.f. several times a week with Xperia10iii).
  6. Only 1 unexpected reboot

I like C2 until now even if it has the already mentioned bugs, but when I go back to 10III and I see the OLED Display I realize that I will have a problem with non OLED screens from now on. When I go back to 10III the screen look much smaller than it really is :))).

My experience is very different, C2 size makes typing easier, less typos while typing, and battery life is better than 10iii.

  • ESR91 browser crashes more often on C2 than 10iii in my case.
  • C2 might run smoothly but it’s noticeable slower than 10iii, and possibly iv and v.

I am sure next releases will fix unexpected reboots and will perform better but I doubt it will become a replacement to my 10iii.

Followed the advices in the thread for installing microG on C2, involving removing appsupport totally with this guide (first clean then brutal method):
Removing Android AppSupport | Sailfish OS Documentation

Turns out that my phone has become a brick. It demands my code, which works and then want me to choose language - which I do. I agree with licenses and then I come in a loop - back to language choice again. Sometimes I come to a grey screen and nothing happens. I can turn it off.
Any idea what to do?
