[Release notes] Suomenlinna 4.3.0

[pherjung]

I had to disable mobile data (I just enabled flight mode) to download the update. First try needed 1 hour to download less than 50%…

Hi.

Hummm. Still no luck with the total ausence of sound in my Xperia 10 ii …

Best Regards.

Update went smoothly in the first go. Switching from WiFi to Mobile Data and vice versa seems to behave a bit better but needs more testing to confirm.

Android apps can now be used to open files and web links , according to declared filetype, URI scheme and URL domain associations [beta]

Nice ! is that possible to set a browser by default ? or do we have to click each time on the browser we want to open the link with ?

Issues reported by the community and fixed in this update

Thanks fo the update!
This has also been resolved if the Tutorial can be obviously skipped now:

Make tutorial use even more obvious and possibly give an option to close it

If one ever needed a blatant hint that the mandatory tutorial might confuse users in its current form. Have a look at yesterdays LTT Anthony Joung review of the pinephone. [A $200 phone that can do ANYTHING!!!] He obviously does not even realize he is in a tutorial (possibly being distracted by video production itself) and dismisses further testing all over I cannot think of a more obvious hint then to display “TUTORIAL” or alike in the background during active tutoria…

That is not supported.

Hi all,

Update didn’t work correctly on my end on an Xperia 10 II previously running SFOS 4.2. At the end of the update process I had an error message saying that the update couldn’t complete successfully and that I had to reboot my device. After the reboot, SFOS claims to be running version 4.3.0.12. At first I thought everything was fine after all, despite the error message, but then I noticed some applications refused to work. In my case: the phone application (I can’t make or receive calls), camera, gallery, media player, documents application starts but is empty.

Jolla shop tells me 6 updated applications are available (calendar, documents, mail, media, notes and Open Forti VPN) but I just can’t install them. Is the shop still online at the moment ?

Please tell me what to do to get out of this mess

Cheers,

Samuel

@sviscapi have you tried to login to shell and run pkcon refresh?

[sviscapi]

Hi @jollajo

I just issued that command. I get a small horizontal bar going from left to right and the message: “Refreshing cache, waiting in the queue”.

Is this the expected result ?

Cheers, Samuel

[jollajo]

Yes refresh takes quite a while, depending how many repositories of OpenRepos you added before in Storeman.

[sviscapi]

Thanks for the quick reply. I rebooted the phone and launched that command again. Now it says it’s updating the software list. I also tried to run “version --dup” prior to getting your message about “pkcon refresh”, and it started downloading packages, aliendalvik if I remember correctly. “pkcon refresh” has finished, what should I do next ?

Cheers, Samuel

[jollajo]

Enter Jolla Store or Storeman and check again for updates

[sviscapi]

Hmm, that doesn’t look too good: Jolla store reports that no application is installed…

Should I run “version --dup” ?

Cheers, Samuel

EDIT: I restarted the phone and now Jolla store understands that there are applications already installed and proposed 6 updates.

[jollajo]

Directly after first boot Jolla Store didn’t show any installed apps either, however since I ran pkcon refresh it shows my apps. Not sure whether that fixed it or Jolla Store just needs some time to update the list.
I’d be surprised if version --dup helps as you’ve just upgraded, but it shouldn’t hurt either.

[samule]

The update went well by UI this time on my Xperia X.
BUT, it restarts every time after 5-6 sec from bootstrap!!
I cannot investigate because of this small amount of time…

[Kea]

Thank you for the update. As usual downloading and installation went smooth.
However, Jolla store doesn’t work. Installing an app is not possible. I wanted to reinstall Fernschreiber, but the wheel keeps turning. Switching the system off and on does not help.
The same trouble with Storeman.

As for the breaking the touch coordinates in the new SDL2 version this update, I suppose I’m a bit responsible for that as I got annoyed with continuously fixing the touch input coordinates while trying to port some applications to SailfishOS and therefore made a pull request to the upstream SDL2. (About the applications, I hope to release them later when they’re in a more usable state).

As for now, if you’re developing with SDL for SailfishOS, you should probably handle your input somewhat like this at the moment:

SDL_version version;
int touch_x, touch_y;

SDL_GetVersion(&version);

if (SDL_VERSIONNUM(version.major, version.minor, version.patch) >= SDL_VERSIONNUM(2, 0, 16)) {
    touch_x = event.tfinger.x * window_width;
    touch_y = event.tfinger.y * window_height;
} else {
    touch_x = event.tfinger.x;
    touch_y = event.tfinger.y;
}

Eventually, you should be able to drop this workaround when the minimum OS version you want to support is 4.3

[jollajo]

@kea, this is probably related to @sviscapi 's issue. If you haven’t tried, please run pkcon refresh in root console and try again.

[Kea]

Thank you. Can you tell me what exactly I have to type in terminal behind nemo@Sailfish?

In the 3rd party APIs section, there is some weird spacing:

All SDL application s need to be fixed because of a fix to touch input coordinate handling.
