Jolla Phone update - deliveries started and other next steps

Probably. But then came out first reports of dust in phones that came from later batches, which I would imagine again slowed shipping down.

I received mine 5 days ago but is still in the box waiting for the updates regarding the dust issues.

I can’t understand how this problem was not recognized during the testing of the device. I do not think that the testers live and spend their days in a white room…

You have the rarest phone with the rarest operating system on this planet lying around and you don’t unbox it? Damn, that’s what I call self-control!^^

I can understand easily. I work in the HW industry. It’s called ā€œrush to achieve the deadlineā€.

It’s not easy. On one hand an engineir wants to make it perfect and that takes time. And as we can clearly see here how travmatic is a few days delay for some users they rushed it.

And of course it’s human to make mistakes. Especialy in a hurry. And I’m sure they’ll go profesional and do want it can be done to fix them.

I have unboxed it and configured it. I just haven’t moved everything to it from the 10III.

Ok, maybe the fact that I am on vacacion with the (small) kids running around 24 hours a day has also something to do…:rofl:

I know the concept… I was long time system tester for industrial telecommunications equipment.

I remember us -the testers- setting the release status to dark red. The team leader interpreting the dark red as reddish-yellow and selling it to product management as yellowish with tendency to green.

However, in our case the problems were SW and were solvable without having to tear apart the HW.

I wonder when my phone will arrive. I’m particularly eagerly awaiting it because my current phone (Samsung Galaxy S21) is dying and I need a replacement…

My order number is 50xx so judging by the most recent comments I should probably get the shipping code at least any day now. Kinda annoying as I live like 1km from the factory where it’s assembled and could have gone to the event in Helsinki to pick it up, but I didn’t because it might have interfered with my holiday plans…

Same with my really really really old Xioami Mi Mix 2S. It only charges (reaaally slowly) with a kvem connected to my PC and restarts randomly. I changed the battery multiple times and nothing changed haha

Edit: Happening since February :laughing:

I’m in September batch, but I’m looking forward to replacing my Huawei Mate 20 Pro with Jolla, still love the phone and it’s served me so well in these 8 years, but it’s given me a few scares in past 6-ish months. It feels like Google is trying to kill it through forced updates despite being an outdated phone and I don’t want to be left scrambling to find a replacement phone in short time.

It’s going to be a learning curve for me but I am ready to depart from Google/Android. :victory_hand:

#46xx on the way 29.07.2026. Now in transport in Lithuania.

Mine charges OK but I have to charge it whenever I get a chance or it won’t last through the day, even when I barely touch it. And a couple of weeks ago it even started complaining that the battery should be replaced. I always have to carry a power bank when traveling so it won’t leave me stranded, because 20% currently could mean 1h of battery life (somehow it depletes much faster when there’s only a little left).

But, speak of the devil: a couple of hours after posting here I got my tracking code in the Posti app :slight_smile:

I was worried, for a bit, that this was about the Jolla phone… sure glad that wasn’t the case.
