If you need to use microG, please check the latest installation instructions Installing microG on Sailfish OS

I tried the same and C2 marked only 74 while my iPhone and Pixel marked 200+. 204ms for ping (14ms by Pixel) it might be the reason why I feel brouwser is painfully slow

I noticed multiple people updated to 5.0.0.55. But my C2 still has 5.0.0.43 and says it is up to date. Is the update not available for all phones the same time?

The update would be for early access you need to set this to ON that you like to have this into your harbour account.

Here…

Early access to Sailfish OS releases

The early releases are mainly intended for developers, and the screening of potential critical issues with new releases before publishing to the wider audience. Please make sure you backup your data (as you always should) before installing the early release, as we cannot with certainty say that you will not have any problems (such as data loss or corruption). Note that opting in to the early release program does not void your warranty.

Also read the early release program details here

Latest update (5.0.0.55) also fixes some serious issues with AAS.

Just wondering when 5.0.0.55 (or higher) will be released to all phones. It has been a while in the early release state now.

There is at least one other minor-update in the qeue. So the non-ea-update will have to wait a little longer still.

Hi all,

Looks like authentication with yubi key (hw key) isn’t working for me on C2.
I tested it in browser. I also activated option u2fsomething in the about:config as mentioned here but no success so far.

Does it work anybody ?
If not, do you know if this could be implemented in the future?

P.S.: I’m still on the version 5.0.0.43.

Thx

hi everyone, after few month i can have a vision more complete of jolla c2, this are the principally problems, that i have found in c2 for the moment.

startup seems slow, also the interface, when you scroll the application it seems to jerk; some problems to close the applications, in some cases the menu at the top opens

the audio speaker are terrible, too much worse of sony xperia 10; it sound like mono radio of 50 years before; some one have some tips about?

in additional for the moment
pure maps don’t work properly; it required osm scout server and work off line, on line it crash
phonehook, don’t work properly

I’m sure Pure maps will work properly, once SFOS 5.* are officially released. Phonehook is obsolete code that needs to be recoded, or just put in the bin, because we finally have an inbuilt ‘number block’.
Anyway… all this have nothing to do with SFOS, except that they are native apps, free of charge, from dedicated developers that spend their free time to make your phone a better device.

You need to go airplane mode, start switch to offline mode, then enable mobike data …

I agree with you, the loudspeaker of the C2 is terrible. I have now two C2’s and in both its equally bad. Besides the missing notification LED, those are the only hardware glitches. One day, I might open a C2 and replace the loudspeaker with a better suitable one but for now, I don’t dare yet to replace it.

maybe can be solved with different DAC conversion from software; adjusting tone; i don’t know if present a app for loudness and tone adjust or a equalizer app. before to touch the hardware this is a test to do

I have been using the C2 for a few weeks now. I’ve been a Sailfish user from the very beginning (still have the first Jolla phone), until recently I had a Sony Xperia with Sailfish OS (almost 5 years), which fell to the ground and broke. I was therefore relieved to be able to order the Jolla C2. The operation of the phone is one of the highlights of Sailfish OS, unfortunately the hardware of the Reeder is not up to scratch. While the operation was smooth on the Sony, it is a pain on the C2: sometimes the screen freezes, goes black, or the application shrinks when using it for no apparent reason. I’m still convinced by the operating system, but the Reeder C2 is a disaster in terms of hardware.

I don’t recall noticed that. OTOH sometimes it’s not easy to convince it to sense taps on very top of the screen properly.

Hi! Where did you get phone cases for C2? I had to order Reeder S19 max pro S cases from Turkish webshop. It was not an easy trick, as they do not deliver to Finland and not accept Finnish credit cards. I did use Take&Ship to get them paid and delivered. Let’s see what happens.
