The upgrade gave no problems it wieks perfect on 10!!!

[pehtoori]

Well, here in Finland / Elisa network I do have call ringback tone while making VoLTE call (Xperia 10 III).
IMS core is able to “produce/play” ringback tone(s) for the subscriber’s terminal if the core has needed components in place.

WLAN hotspot sharing doesn’t work if your mobile phone company gives your phone an IPv6 address only (No IPv4).

I think SailfishOS has a fix for that, I was hoping the fix would be included in this release.

Testing CLAT for IPv6-only mobile networks

As many have noticed, in some circumstances some mobile networks have started handing out only IPv6 network addresses, such as on the Xperia 10iii with your SIM in slot 1. This isn’t as dramatic as it sounds - these networks also implement DNS64 to translate IPv4 into a v6 subnet that’s routed to the v4 internet through a NAT64 host, so for the most part you wouldn’t notice. However, for connecting to literal IPv4 addresses or supporting a v4 subnet for tethering/hotspot, that’s not enough. Tha…

This has been reported several times before. Yes, it’s rather annoying that this reproducible issue has not yet been fixed.

One rather reliable workaround is to open Settings - Utilitities - Restart Bluetooth subsystem.
Sometimes you need to restart Bt twice, but this has always worked for me.

[Volker_S]

@Lol,
Indeed - thanks for the tip.

Now if only that worked on thinkpads with linux after using suspend

[jollajo]

Well on my HP Zbook (with Ubuntu) my screens at the docking stations get lost after each un-plug or suspend, so that I have to swap DP cables.
As I unplug / suspend the notebook much more often than rebooting the phone I prefer Sailfish with its Bt issues.

[abranson]

CLAT was released in 4.5.0.19, and with that WiFi tethering has been working for lots of people on IPv6-only mobile networks since then. Have you been trying any of the test versions from that thread?

@pehtoori

Well, here in Finland / Elisa network I do have call ringback tone while making VoLTE call (Xperia 10 III).

Maybe the person you’re calling is not on VoLTE. In such case you can hear the tone. It isn’t heard if both parties are on VoLTE.

Q: What did @Jolla do to fix the browser crashes? What was the reason for these crashes? Does anybody know?

[pehtoori]

Both phones (on my table) are using VoLTE and both phones use Elisa FI network.

[Max-Might]

What a nice surprise! I did not expect a mid-summer release. Update went fine on both JollaC and Xperia X.

Fix Browser crash when using media codecs (video or audio)

“Fix Browser crash when using media codecs (video or audio)”

[davidrasch]

I guess you are connecting this announcement to the OOM closings of the browser. I think this is a different problem only related to media codecs.

[jojomen]

No issues updating Xperia X and XA2 dual-SIM.

Browser on Xperia X no longer crashes in video conferences; on Xperia XA2 it still can’t use the camera.

Thank you Jolla and community for your efforts and for getting a release out in the middle of summer vacations!

[PeegeeTips]

not a lot of testing (read: browsing), since the update, but i can anecdotally report that i haven’t had any forced browser crashes in the last few days.

[Seven.of.nine]

OT: I was/am curious, what in detail the reason was and what Jolla did in detail to fix it. Fact is, it runs much better now. Had no crashes since last update on Xperia 10, and update on a second X10 also went well. Thank’s again @Jolla !
