VoLTE enabled? Test o’clock!

During the restart phase of the update installation the pin code view froze. I had to shut down and restart again. Then I was able to enter the code. Otherwise no problems.

Thats weird as Telekom works well and even MMS receiving was possible … Which carrier uses 1&1 nowadays? O2 or T-mobile or Vodafone?
Did an outgoing call with VoLTE today and it worked perfectly, but I should probably do some more testing (incoming calls, SMS).
Thanks a lot for adding fastboot mode! Flashing can be very useful and fastboot is much easier to use than the Unisoc flash mode.

SFOS 5.0.0.43 - VoLte enabled:
Calls: In Denmark I cannot receive calls on the C2 when on 3’s network, but works fine on Yousee’e network.
MMS: MMS can not be send or received on 3’s network, but works on Yousee’s network.
SMS: work on both networks with C2.
MicroG: still do not work properly. MicroG installs OK, all checks are OK, but several apps says Google services are not available and therefore do not work. I have seen the same problem with the same apps on my 10iii, so maybe this could also be a more general problem with the 64bit version of AppSupport - the same apps work fine on my XA2.

Me also - this is not resolved with reboot.
UK EE PAYG to UK Vodafone Contract
So the same status as my Xperia III: VOLTE works, incoming SMS works, outbound SMs fail
If you flash via Fastboot - yes. If you just update via OTA - than no.

Is it possible to reset the C2 via fastboot? Can I reset it and sell it without any of my data left?
I wanted to give an update regarding alarms:
After a couple of days I can say that for me they worked reliable again.
BUT the alarms are way too loud. I think it’s almost at tge maximum and especially when the phone is lying next to you sleeping the noise it quite hurting.
Unfortunately the volume can’t be set seperately I think there was a patch for it but its not compatible with 5.x

Yes this patch I meant unfortunately in Storeman you can’t install it …I guess since it’s officially not compatible with 5.x. Installing directly works though.
Great should have tried it earlier.
Anyway I saw now that the setting was indeed at 100% which stresses the speaker even. Should be set to 80% at least by default.

On upgrading from 5.0.0.29 to 5.0.0.43 my C2 hangs on “One moment…” screen.
Scenario I got there
- I checked for Sailfish update on my C2
- Downloaded update
- proceeded with update however popup appeared that my battery is to low to proceed (which is weird because battery had about 80% of capacity)
- I connected USB-C cable to charging port
- C2 (rebooted?) went to screen “One moment…” and nothing else happen. My C2 is in this state all the time
Ok, I decided to Power Off / Power On the device after night.
C2 booted to 5.0.0.29
I tried to update C2 again but this time with USB charger connected. This time update went fine
Now I’m on 5.0.0.43. I suspect that connecting USB-C cable during the update introduces some issues.

I think they use a mixture of O2 (EPlus) for 4G and their own 5G network (which cannot be used by the C2).

I second that, its hard to use alarms at default volume, but it was always the case. I didn’t knew about the patch so my workaround was to use custom alarm sound with gradually increasing volume. Give it a try If you don’t care about the exact sound.
Instructions for updating the bootloader (if needed) and flashing the C2 with the fastboot flasher.

Update went well.
Backlight is still very weak on reboot for installation, so keypad is barely visible (for encryption key).
I just did the upgrade to 5.0.0.43 before traveling in Europe. Updating and backup to sdcard went without issues. Now the C2 feels mature except the video recording (I use Aperture Android app as replacement for now) all other issues seemed to be solved. MicroG is kinda working but some apps still complain about Google Play missing but my banking app is usable. Thanks for getting the 4G VoLTE call receiving to function! Also, I’m amazed how fast the C2 is getting mobile network connection after disabling flight mode. Thank you Jollyboys for the hard work and happy holidays!
