Is it safe to update my xperia x to version 4?

Just consult the about page: 0.6-46 is my latest version. If it does mention my name you will probably have the original version from Basil of a fork from Rinigus. Which have also no issue.

I’m in a somewhat similar situation. When 4.0.1.45 was released I downloaded it, but then decided not to install it as using the wifi hotspot was the only internet connection I had, so I wouldn’t risk bricking the phone.
Now my XA2 single SIM is on 3.4.0.24 and 4.0.1.45 is ready to install on the phone. Is that safe to install or is there a way to go directly to .48? Delete the downloaded package or something maybe?

@tanghus: No need to install 4.0.1.45 - just search for a later update (that is: 4.0.1.48) with the pulley menu of Settings > Sailfish OS updates. Download that. And install. Once done, your phone will be ready for the 4.1.0 update.

Problem is that I had already downloaded 4.0.1.45 and now the only entry in that pulley menu is “Install”.

Hi @tanghus!
Maybe you could try “sfos-upgrade” from openrepos by olf. I always do my upgrades with that. With that you can specify the version you want to upgrade to.
Hope I could help. Brocheolus.

edit: You just have to do a bit of reading how to use it but if I´ve managed it then you will also do.

so after using 4.0.x for a while i can certainly say that i wish i stayed in 3.
this update made my phone almost unusable, it is very very slow now. in 3 it was stable and smooth as a daily driver.

On my two phones, 4.1 works better than 4.0 did in the time I used it. I had my problems on 4.0 and so I did activate early access updates in my Jolla account and updated first to 4.1.0.23 and a week later to 4.1.0.24. Both phones now running perfect.

@windir Maybe you should create a separate topic describing your problems in more details? I’m still on 3.4 and your comment doesn’t exactly make me want to upgrade to 4.x.

#31

@tanghus it works just much slower don’t know why

#32

@windir But a separate topic could give a better chance for you to find out what’s wrong. But it’s up to you of course :slight_smile:

#33

don’t know really what to post in it, and also i have a x10ii with AD now :slight_smile:

#34

@windir so you have two phones where one works ok? Or do I misunderstand you?

#35

i bought the x10ii as soon as i could when SFX came to it, i flashed it yesterday and few hours after that AD released
i’m playing osrs on it as we speak

#36

And no problems there?

#37

seems slow?, only a few software on the open repos was ported to 64bit, some android software still don’t work, but overall i’m quite happy with it

#38

not alot, nothing that is so hard that makes it undriveable as daily driver
been using it nonstop
