My Sony X is running really smart and good. i like sailfish, but it is getting older and older. Many apps requires android 5+ or 6+. I like sailfishos, but were can i buy a new phone?
the xperia xa2 - only one shop for ~290 € in pink
the xperia 10 - only one or two shops for 290 to 499 €
is there any information that a new phone is on its way?
Its hard to wait without any information and there some good working os like grapheneos.
You can get some slightly better deals if you look around, for instance on Ebay. Anyway, exact same feeling here; I am also an X user wondering what to do for the future.
i like to avoid ebay, because i have not had good experiences with ebay deals and phones. But same as you i’m wondering that jolla is not pushing any information about new phones.
The 10 isn’t available in a lot of stores nowadays, but you can get it for 199 at mediamarkt.nl now.
Bought one last week, good upgrade compared to an X.
@yomark thanks and good to know, but MM.nl only ships to nl. MM.de didn’t sell the X10 -.- @Deraiden its a good offer, but i had some bad experience and dont like used phones.
I got a second hand XA2 from eBay for ~50 Euros. One rarely noticeable dead pixel and a scratch but battery lasts forever. XA2 has some cool tech to save overcharging battery.
I had bad battery life since I flashed my XA2 wit Sailfish OS. But I start to wonder if this, has something to do with the said version first flashed on the phone. Resetting my phone to factory settings brings me back to 3 Sailfish 3.0.x, not to the actual one. That’s irritating, maybe the Sony parts from flashing process are different from older versions…
@Cryx and @cquence I flashed 3.4 directly. Even with things like Whatsapp in the background, battery will last days. There are notorious battery hogs eg the media player, browser occasionally, most Android stuff. But even with half an hour Opera for Android usage, the battery would still last two days.
It seems that the 3.3 to 3.4 upgrade was highly problematic and I’d probably suggest a fresh installation. On the other hand, it seems MicroG is awkward on fresh 3.4. Either way I’m happy to run through some stuff to contrast our installations, particularly if it will help debug the upgrade process.
Decided to switch to “prefer 3G” as advised in a different thread - 13hours later I lost barely 30%. So it is definitely something related to 4G (although I am all day on WiFi). Anyway, this is OT for this thread.
