Changelog

The detailed changelog is here.

Updating your device

Your device must be connected to the Internet and signed into your Jolla account. If your Jolla account is registered for Early Access releases you should receive an OS update notification when an update is available. If you have decided not to take the Early Access registration then you will get the OS update typically one week later.

We warmly recommend making some 3-4 GB of free space to the internal storage of your device ( /home ) before starting the update. Processing an OS update of almost 1 GB requires a good amount of work area. Move your pictures and videos to the SD card (or to your PC or cloud service).

This is the usual drill before attempting to update your devices:

Take a backup of your data before attempting to update your device and save the backup to an SD card or to some other off-device location (PC, your cloud service). Note that videos and images are not included in cloud-based backups. Do not reboot the device while the update is in progress. Do keep the phone connected to a battery charger during the whole process. Device screen may blank out during the update process; you may waken the display by a short press on the power key to monitor the progress.

For detailed instructions on updating software, read our help article in Zendesk.

NOTE 1:

Sailfish OS does not support downgrading. Never try to downgrade the OS as this would break your device.

NOTE 2:

After downloading an update and selecting “Install” in the pulley menu, the device runs a restart first. In the case of a device with the user-space encrypted, you will need to type the security code before the actual installation can start.

NOTE 3:

Because the previous Sailfish OS release 3.4.0.24 was a so-called Stop Release, you can update your phone only from that release to 4.0.1.48. In other words, if your phone happens to have one of the earlier releases in it, you must first install 3.4.0.24 and only then 4.0.1.48. This is guided by the UI in “Settings > System > Sailfish OS updates” but you will need to take care of it yourself if you install the update at the command line.

Notification concerning apps from Open Repos

The apps below have been reported to cause problems when installing the previous OS updates. We recommend that you uninstall them before proceeding to the OS update.

System Monitor by ade must be force-removed before the upgrade. It will appear in the upgrade warnings while the upgrade is being downloaded but must be uninstalled manually with ‘rpm -e --noscripts’, as other methods may fail. If it is not removed, the upgrade will most likely fail partway through and you may be left with an unusable device.
The Dynamic calendar and clock icons by fravaccaro have been reported to prevent the Calendar and Clock apps from starting. This issue can be eliminated by devel-su; pkcon remove harbour-dyncal harbour-dynclock
If you use Privoxy, be sure to disable it before downloading the update, especially if you have configured https-inspection
If you use Aliendalvik Control update it to the latest version 9.3.x first or else you will not be able to use your phone. See the author’s instructions.
If you use Storeman update it to the latest version first
If you use SystemDataScope or collectd (see here), remove them. Having them installed will lead into update failure where Internet connections may be broken. See TJC-226291. Upgrading collectd to the latest version may help (no guarantees)
If you use Phonehook or Callrecorder uninstall it before upgrading
If you use Defender, remove it as it will probably prevent your phone from booting up. See this, please.
If you use OKBoard, please remove it.

About SD cards

Encrypted cards must be unlocked by the user to make them available for Sailfish applications.
Non-encrypted cards are mounted automatically when the device is turned on.
Encrypted cards can be formatted only when they are locked. Formatting removes the encryption in this case (the card becomes unencrypted and unmounted). You can then format it again with the option to encrypt if needed.

Known issues - generic

Assisted location service of Mozilla has stopped working from 2020-03-01. This tends to slow down finding the position of the phone. We are looking for alternative ways to make it work faster. Unfortunately, this problem persists. It seems to affect Xperia XA2 worst.
Sailfish can connect Bluetooth Low Energy devices. However, Android apps cannot use peripheral devices via Bluetooth - other than for playback of the sound. Therefore smartwatches, for instance, cannot be controlled from Android apps, unfortunately.
Signing in to Dropbox works via Google only. So, after triggering the sign-in at “Settings > Accounts > Dropbox” and the browser page dropbox.com appears, tap “Sign in with Google” (if you have a Google account).
Importing contacts wizard fails to create a Google account in “Settings > Apps > People”. The same happens if one tries to sign in to a Google account from Email. However, signing in to Google from “Settings > Accounts” does work correctly, after which the contacts will be downloaded to the device (if you allowed this in the account settings)
An invalid warning and request to uninstall all system packages will appear if the previous OS version 3.4.0 is flashed to a device without installing the default Sailfish apps, followed by the download of the current OS version 4.0.1. This warning looks scary but it is just a warning. It should be okay to continue downloading and installing the OS update in the normal manner, i.e., you can ignore the warning. To avoid the warning, enabling the developer mode and running devel-su; pkcon refresh before downloading 4.0.1 may prevent the warning from appearing.
[ developers only ] connman-test package is broken (does not install) for devices freshly flashed with 4.0.1, because dbus-python is no longer available (requires python2). All still works if updating from 3.4.0 as in this case the old dbus-python (if it exists in rootfs) will be used.
QR code reader can recognise only the 2-dimensional code that has squares in 3 corners (for positioning).
4.0.1 update will remove your synced contacts - please re-sync your accounts to get them back! So, go to Settings > Accounts, long-tap an account and take ‘Sync’. Repeat to all of applicable accounts. Check People app, then. Also, restart your phone to see the contacts in Phone > People.*
Calendar app does not open anymore if user cancels first permission query and tries to reopen the app. Remedy: Restart phone, open Calendar, accept permissions. Fixed to the next OS release.
Call recorder does not save the conversation to the phone storage. This can be fixed with the following commands (and in the next OS release) - make sure you type the whole long command on the 2nd row:

        devel-su
        echo -e '\nmkdir     ${PRIVILEGED}/Phone\nprivileged-data Phone' >> /etc/sailjail/permissions/Phone.permission 
        systemctl-user restart voicecall-ui-prestart

Known issues to Android App Support 9 - Xperia 10 & Xperia XA2

Aptoide Store (the default Android Store on Sailfish) may not become visible in the app grid if installed during startup wizard (SUW) or later in first boot. Remedy: reboot, uninstall it, install it again.
Aptoide Store app (of Jolla Store) is failing to install apps. In the end of the download an ERROR is shown and the installation attempt stops here. Please, download the latest Aptoide app ( aptoide-latest.apk ) from here and install to your phone. We will update Jolla Store soon.
APKPure website, which is another good source of Android apps, started serving 64bit APKs by default and they’ll fail to install, but there won’t be anything displayed to a user (because notifications from Android App Support are broken). You will need to choose armeabi-v7a (32bit) variant of the APK on the website.
Android apps cannot use peripheral devices via Bluetooth - other than for playback of the sound. Therefore smartwatches, for instance, cannot be controlled from Android apps.
The voice of an incoming call might not automatically be routed to a wired headset. However, if the user first directs the voice to the HF speaker and then back to the headset, the voice can be heard at the headset.

Known issues specific to Xperia X [no changes here]

Not implemented features: FM radio, double-tap wakeup, step counter, RTC Alarms
Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Turn the Flight mode on and off to reset the network setup. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has often helped. See our support article.
[camera] Force autofocus mode for photos, and continuous for video. After this, camera focus is still not ideal - as the camera stays out of focus when it starts until you either tap or try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now
Bluetooth: problems with some car equipment, some audio devices and computers may appear
The loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted very high
Not all SD cards are recognized and mounted.

Known issues specific to Xperia XA2 [no changes here]

Not implemented features: FM radio, double-tap wakeup, RTC Alarms
Bluetooth: there are problems in connecting to some peripheral devices
XA2 does not power up when alarm time has elapsed
Flashing Sailfish X to XA2 might still fail (so far seen to happen on Ubuntu 18.04 when using USB3 port). Please read this article.
With v17B Sony vendor image we observed a decrease in the perceived signal strength of the 5GHz WLAN access points (investigations ongoing). Version v16 may work better in this respect. Therefore we would not recommend flashing v17B for the time being if you use WLAN networks in the 5GHz band. You can reflash the vendor image of your choice by following the instructions in here.

Known issues specific to Xperia 10 [no changes here]

Features not yet implemented: FM radio, double-tap wakeup, support for dual-lens camera, RTC Alarms.
Rarely, audio playback and sensors (display rotation) may stop working. If this happens, please restart the device
In some cases, the acceptance of the PIN code of a SIM card may take up to 5…20 seconds
White balance and HDR (of the camera) do not work.
Transitions related to network switching 4G > 3G (call begins) and 3G > 4G (call ends) may take time on some networks. Getting the data connection of 4G might require extra actions in the worst cases. Normally, these transitions take 2-10 seconds on Xperia 10.

Known issues specific to Jolla Tablet [no changes here]

There is no progress bar during the installation phase of OS upgrades. This makes it difficult to follow if it makes progress or not. However, if there are no problems the device will restart itself in the end - please wait patiently. If you feel that you have waited enough, wait for yet another 20 minutes before you turn off the device to allow some more time for it to complete the job. Interrupting too early may break the tablet.
Taking screenshots is broken. Pressing the VOL keys together seems to create an image but it cannot be viewed in Gallery.

Known issues specific to Gemini PDA [no changes here]

Features not yet implemented: double-tap wakeup, RTC Alarms
Gemini Screenshot Button Fn + X does not work
Not possible to answer calls when Gemini is closed with side button
Some 3rd party apps have issues in Landscape mode.

KuroNeko · 4 February 2021 13:08

Oh, this will be exciting, downloading now!

rubdos · 4 February 2021 13:27

To all that use Whisperfish, here’s a list of issues of which one makes Whisperfish currently incompatible with 4.0. I’ll try to fix that over the weekend (and then upgrade myself too). I’ve vouched to keep 3.4 supported as long as possible.

Allstar12345 · 4 February 2021 13:28

Now that’s a monster changelog, I look forward to trying it once I get hold of the emulator!

KuroNeko · 4 February 2021 13:35

Are there EA build targets available somewhere? My installer didn’t list any.

jollajo · 4 February 2021 13:40

you recommend to have 3-4 GB of free space in internal storage. What do you mean by internal storage? Rootfs has only 2.4 G on my XA2+. Size of home is 17.4G, so it should be easier to free some space there.

teve · 4 February 2021 14:04

Upgrade went smoothly (XpX), seems that browser bookmarks are wiped.

atlochowski · 4 February 2021 14:17

@teve
Try this to restore bookmarks

cp -r .local/share/org.sailfishos/sailfish-browser/* .local/share/org.sailfishos/browser

tanghus · 4 February 2021 14:31

I’m curious about and looking forward to the Notifications improvements. Will this change the Nemo.Notifications QML API?

KuroNeko · 4 February 2021 14:49

I believe the changes are already reflected in the documentation. At least it looks like there are some new properties.

teve · 4 February 2021 14:53

Thanks for the hint. Command which you provided did not fix the issue but simply copying bookmarks.json file from

.local/share/org.sailfishos/sailfish-browser/bookmarks.json to .local/share/org.sailfishos/browser/

brought bookmarks back.

atlochowski · 4 February 2021 14:58

I fixed my command, it should work now

tanghus · 4 February 2021 15:11

You may be right. I didn’t look that closely.

tortoisedoc · 4 February 2021 15:22

Interesting. Few comments:

did I just loose all my browser history?
why is the default page set to asa.org?
I love the new ambiences, but the icons are a bit much
calendar opening from event screen leads to empty screen, most likely due to…
duplicated calendar entries are still there (mulitplied by sync)
opening links from whatsapp does not open the browser anymore

Otherwise awesome!

thigg · 4 February 2021 15:32

Browser seems to be unable to load anything on XperiaX

You cant read the time while notifications are present.

EDIT tried to move .mozilla, didn’t help. Also couldnt see anything in the logs what looked like an error

jovirkku · 4 February 2021 15:48

@phklrz: It could be. Did you accept the permission request shown in Gallery when you opened Gallery the first time? The list has Sharing…

kaulian · 4 February 2021 15:49

On gemini I have this message

Uninstall the following before proceeding update …
droid-hal-geminipda
droid-hal-geminipda-detritus
droid-hal-geminipda-tools
droid-hal-geminipda-users

is this normal? Those packages are install by the system …

jollajo · 4 February 2021 16:04

I got such a message with another list of packages, such as contrac, screencast, obexd-contentfilter-off, sailfishconnect, systemmonitor. I just removed them and will reinstall after upgade

jovirkku · 4 February 2021 16:08

@kaulian: That should not have happened. Valid system packages should not be listed as harmful. It should be safe to ignore that warning and continue with the installation.

lumen · 4 February 2021 16:14

My XA2 said still that 3.3.0.16 is available, but 3.4.0.24 didn’t anymore eventhough I searched for new updates in the settings. I had to use terminal to set phone into release mode and download 3.4.0.24 manually.
The same thing is now with the 4.0.1.45…
I have triple checked that “early access” is on in the account. I deleted Jolla account and created it again - same thing - XA2 is quite happy with the 3.4.0.24.
Any ideas what to do? (other than go to terminal again… I think it should work via settings…)
