It seems to be a problem with SElinux at least in part, journalctl gives lots of red SElinux errors about an unknown class service. Anybody know how to fix this?

On my X10iii, Aurora Store kept all downloaded apk files, cluttering disk space. I had to change some settings to change this behaviour. Maybe these apk files stay around when you uninstall AAS?

A reboot got rid of the extra 1GB system space usage and restored the apps. Still crashing on starting, though.

Sony Xperia 10 II - Finally got to upgrading this one as well. Had to remove a lot of stuff from /usr/share to get the 1.3G free. E.g. Folders such as fonts and doc and to go. Upgrade was slower than with 10 V and C2 but eventually went through. Had to force reboot and copy the fonts folder from J2(or was it C2, forgot already) back. Everyhing worked after another reboot. Did not insert SIM to test calls and such.

All in all a slightly more tedious than with the two other devices but after the whole process the phone seems to be running nice and smooth.

Same happened here.

Volume up + power buttons together worked and it rebooted just fine

Hello Keto,

Returned from our journey to Finland I am facing some problems with Jolla 2. The same as with the 10 III since update Pispala 5.1.0.10. I wanted to try the 10 III again, seeing if the echo had disappeared. Setting up General Mail with SMTP/IMAP failed: problem with authentification.
using Sailfish since 2014 I never had this problem.
Now General Mail failed on the Jolla 2 too.
My mail account is Soverin.net, a privacy safe mail. I contacted them. They gave me a new key but this did not work either. A real bummer.

I introduced a regression on mail account authentication mechanism that is present in 5.1 (and in the 5.2 version currently on J2). I’m sorry for the inconvenience it is creating for many people.

A fix has been created already and will be deployed in later 5.2 iterations, I think.

In the meantime, if you can try to patch a QML file, so you’ll be able to create a new account, without the authentication issue. You need to apply the following changes to /usr/share/accounts/ui/email.qml:

Do it, if you feel confident with system file edition, know how to revert if something doesn’t work as expected… Since this will be a hand modification, it will not affect any later system update, and don’t need to be reverted before update. Don’t hesitate to send me a PM if you need further help, or further debugging.

Edit : it seems the fix was published with 5.2.0.15 for J2, so no need to tamper with system QML files for J2 owners. Hopefully, I did it right and it actually fixes these authentication issues.

Update was completely smooth and unproblematic with 2.0 GB free space. My Sony 10 III works better than ever. Thanks for your fine work!

I think that’s an option you can enable under Settings > Developer mode > Show reboot action in top menu.

My phone completely froze at the beginning of the week and wouldn’t work anymore. I reflashed it, and the Bluetooth issues with the car connection disappeared. The touch controls also react to all touches.

Xperia 10 here, BT headphone is no more found by the device, no pairing possible, searching for device eternally. The rest works fine.

701

A few reboots later, the problem seems to have gone away on its own. No idea why, though, nor whst was the root cause.

during Update (today), progress bar go from 0 to 100% and then freeze. After about 1 hour, I reboot the phone.

On reboot I have the 5.1.0.11 installed. But some software are disappear (sailfishconnect, puremap…) I reinstall, and it seems OK.
