[Release notes] Tampella 5.0.0.29 for Jolla C2

The low light security screen is no C2-only issue. Xperia 10 III has the same problem.

Tampella 5.0.0.29 update went well, no issues so far. At the moment I use it only trough wifi, and Sony xperia 10 III is there for my daily use.

Funny thing. I said earlier that C2 is BIG. Now, when playing with it and then taking Sony back in my hand, Sony seems to be so SMALL.

Finnish users
Have I understood right, there is no more 3G in Finland?

Telia, Elisa and DNA have all already shut down theirs, afaik it may still be running in some northern/eastern parts of the country by Suomen Yhteisverkko (owned by DNA and Telia together) but they too will shut down everywhere by the end of the year.

I updated tiday from 5.0.0.21 to 5.0.0.29 with following results until now:

1.) after the installation the very first reboot the touch screen didn’t work, so I wsitef about 15 minutes and then I hold the power button until the message “Goodbye” appeared and I restarted the device again and then touch worked
2.) I let the device idle for ca. 1,5 hours as I new from the past and I must confirm that everything runs faster and more stable as in the prior version, my sounds and alarms are working , active sim card is not more shown as deactivated and you can configure it via settings, apps are not more hanging as they did in the prior one

I will test further and will give more info when I face something new

Even in Germany they disabled 3G and we have just 2G, 4G and 5G … Next year they plan to start deactivating also the 2G frequencies and DSL step by step, even we have not everywhere connection possibilities with new technologies :frowning:

Is your SIM recognized properly? Maybe you can disable it and then reenable.
I need to do that even in 5.0.0.29 to recognize my operator’s network.

Setup went through with one minor issue:

After selection to install the update I did have to reboot the phone for 5 times because touch screen didn’t respond when I tried to enter the pin code.

After the 5th reboot it took about 30 seconds until it was possible to enter the pin code.

Rest of the update went smooth and everything I use that worked before works still.

Update w/o problems.
@jovirkku so no partition resizing via OTA?

Returned, Reflashed C2 back in business.
Update went through without a hitch this time.

Thank you Jollybois & Jolla Crew! :+1:

Absolutely! It feels somehow wrong to feel that way though.

If your brain is playing tricks on you, just try pocketing the thing to reset any illusion. :slight_smile:

EDIT: Unrelated! Solved with nephros workaround!

Story details

After several hours of stable run of 5.0.0.29 (native browser, calls, SMS, Viber) phone suddenly went berserk.
First I noticed that SMS can’t be send. Mobile network was not visible so I went to the settings. I noticed that SIM was not recognised.
After C2 restart I tried to reenable SIM same as was always needed before. It seemed to accepted PIN but indicators for SIM enablement started to pulsate. Restarts don’t help.
WiFi does work so ssh is possible and it shows that several crucial services are failed:

I did some ‘brave things’ but I didn’t anticipated this. It might not even be related.
I tried to install and failed Chum, Meecast event view. Soon after start I installed Situations which seemed to work in initial setup. After I added some addition extensions it crashed. Later starts of app didn’t reach functional state. So I uninstalled it.

C2 is unfortunately unusable now as a daily driver.

Any insight?

No issues with the update. Nice work Sailors! :+1:

The lxc and pulseaudio failures are “normal”, the ofono one is not.

I’ve had this problem recently, see my solution in this bug report:

How did you try to install Chum ?

After the upgrade, I have the impression that everything and overall the UI is more snappy.

Thanks for saving my daily driver!

I failed and it seems that it’s unrelated. See bug report from nephros for details. So I guess it doesn’t matter.

I cannot disable sim. I have now one sim installed. It is always active I cannot tick it off.

Now I think wifi is working because C2 is downloading update. I’m waiting patiently if it will work.

I have one SIM too. Just enable the empty one and then you can disable the one with SIM.
