The C2 looks a bit chonky from that picture. It also seems that LUKS prompt got an UI overhaul. Neat.

Problem solved and new problem is a show-stopper, see : C2 screen doesn't respond first boot. Ehm… I hope we can get somewhere an image of v5.0 to download so we can reflash.

Is it possible to restore a backup e.g. from Xperia 10 II Sauna 4.6.0.15 to Jolla C2?

#45

It should be, but problem have now and then been reported. If so, you can unpack backup file and do it manually.

It should be possible to boot into recovery and somehow undo the lvm volume creation for home so that wizard comes again on next boot.

I am still days away from getting the device but it is worth writing to support maybe you get official instructions how to do that.

If your suggestion is indeed a valid one, I’d try right away ! But I’ll wait a bit before spending time for nothing.

I managed to boot up without any problems. I used 6 digits pin. Not either problems when connecting to wifi. Just when I went through the tutorial pages and the clock section I was asked to push the Media icon instead of the clock icon.

Woohoo, got mine today and seems very smooth.

Only thing is that the sim card slot won’t open when trying with the included stickmajig. After trying to veeery carefully get it open for about 15 minutes, I decided to continue with my good ol’ xperia 10 II. Made me appreciate this sim insertion mechanism on this device.

Will continue to tinker tomorrow in hopes of not sending the device back with such a minor inconvenience. Anyone else had issues where the sim slot won’t open?

Couple observations about C2 with a short 2 hour testing just using Wifi connection.

No double tap wake-up. :cry:
No notification light for missed calls, messages, mails :sob:
No start-up vibration, when pressing power button to turn phone on. :man_shrugging:
Texts and numbers get clipped from couple of places.

  • When you tap the display and the shortcut icon row pop-up, the description texts are partially clipped by the display edge…
  • Same with developer tools, when you enable FPS counter. FPS numbers in the corners of the display get partially clipped away.

I could not get Openrepos Storeman client installed. It looks like installation goes fine, but app icon never appears to app grid.
Tried with: harbour-storeman-installer-2.2.6-release7.noarch.rpm

@Sepelius Tested SIM card tray and it opened normally for me. A bit tight, but opened before it broke :sweat_smile:

For this big of a phone, I find it a bit cumbersome that keypad for unlocking the device is positioned right at the bottom of device. Personally would feel that one hand operation would be more natural, if keypad were positioned a bit higher on display. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I think when mine arrives I will probably do the same. Park it to one side until some of the bugs are ironed out. Thank you to those that are using theirs and reporting back!

Meantime as an interim I have a Nokia N9 arriving tomorrow…Anyone remember those?

Please, don´t make me cry. I still have my N9 and start it from time to time to remember the good old times.
It´s a shame what happened…

Sorry dude. At 99 bucks I couldn’t resist. Phone, text & mail is really all I want on a device so…

Need to go deeper then I use the Mac at home.

I suppose it will probably get to the stage where I cart 2 devices around with me…

#57

99 it is twice as much as it is worth without a sentiment.

#58

You’re saying it’s cheap or you’re saying it’s expensive?

And there must be sentiment there or you wouldn’t have posted.

Try in your own language and we’ll run it through Deepl

If you ARE saying that 99 is too much, would you care to explain why, in your opinion, you think so? Otherwise it’s just a spam comment. It says nothing. It makes no sense.

#59

I still use my N9 as a NFC reader every once in a while. :grinning:

Just inhale these 1 minute and 44 seconds of greatness:

Quite corner cases but well spotted! I’ll do something for those.

You are absolutely correct, opened with a marginal amount of extra force. Now trying to get the device recognize my SIM itself. :smiley: I did a small unboxing video and will try to edit it to post somewhere online at some point.
