[lkraav]

Thanks. commhistory-tool does have export param listed in --help, although copying database seems to have worked also.

[filip.k]

I experience that on my X10 also.

Hi all

I flashed SFOS 4.1.0 yesterday on my brand new Xperia 10 II, it went almost flawlessly

Many thanks to the whole Jolla team for your hard work !

Cheers, Samuel

I have a question regarding the 10 ii. I received mine today, and I want to install SFOS 4.1 on it. I am currently waiting for the Android 11 update to finish, but reading the instructions here:

How to install Sailfish X on Xperia™ 10 II on macOS - Jolla

I shall upgrade to Android 11, but then download Sony software binaries for Android 10 in step 5. Is this a typo and should be software binaries for Android 11, or is this correct?

[peterleinchen]

Confusing, but correct (@jovirkku maybe should be made more clear or noted more verbose?)

And see here:

Xperia 10 II + SFOS

Update to Android 11 is probably to ensure that all binary blobs dealing with the modem and some other parts are updated. This is done while you boot into Stock (NOT AOSP) Android as distributed by Sony. So, update to Android 11, boot into it. There is no need to register with Google, as far as I know. But you probably should get into the OS fully booted. When you use AOSP10 based SFOS, the binaries have to be for AOSP10. Do not mix with AOSP11 blobs. The flash script warns for reason as it is …

Thanks.

@s710

Thanks.

There is a simple button for that

Plus is no more possible to sort ambiences by favouriting them.

… and it sorts itself, depending on usage. But in a strange way…

This is correct. They are two different things. The quote from rinigus by peterleinchen explains it. Also check the chapter beginning with " A quick clarification of what an underlying Android version adaptation" in the latest blog.

I activated and deactivated developer mode a few times.
And I ended up with 3 terminals in the launcher.

Removing dev mode doesn’t remove the terminal icon and I can’t delete them.

Is this a bug or something known? How do I remove these 3 terminals?

[orangecat]

I tried to put them in a folder. Only one goes in. But when moving it out, I end up with an empty folder I can’t delete either.

[aerique]

Are there desktop files for it in ~/.local/share/applications?

[orangecat]

Nothing special, only mimeinfo and open-url.

There is a fingerterm.desktop is /usr/share/applications but I don’t want to mess with system files.

But I played putting the shortcuts in and out the folder, activating and removing dev mode, and I got them removed. Though the empty folder is still there.

I’m trying to update my Xperia XA2 device
when I goto “Sailfish OS updates”
and try and download the update I see
“Problem with Store”
“Could not determine the size of update”

[nshiell]

I fixed the updating issue my freeing up a few gigs of storage, it’s true the release notes do mention freeing up space.

The error message was a bit confusing though - I took it to mean it wasn’t able to contact the update servers

[cartron]

glad you fixed it - indeed the message should be more clear - in my case I was missing like 5 MB, and the message clearly told it to me, so I knew I had some space to free up

Hello,

can I use the release also for the Pinephone and does it also bring improvements there ?

with kind regards
Steffen

[robthebold]

The upgrade to 4.0 made a big difference in stability, so I’d say give 4.1 a try, seeing as a pinephone installation is almost zero risk – reflashing is just burning an SD card or the EMMC. Or totally zero risk if you try another SD card . . . I’m keeping mine on 4.0 for now only to debug my Amazfit issue since 4.1 breaks that app.
