The C2 feels smooth now, scrolling in native apps is way better (then again maybe the appsupport tracker just isn’t hogging the cpu as it used to even on XIII), but definitely a lot has improved since .43, sms/calls work reliably both ways now on 4g(nonvolte), it’s becoming mature (edit and I’m supper happy after 3 months in android world, for those who have hopes for xperia V, I’m sad to report even team A from sony is doing a terrible job, unlock by swiping up is unreliable, works 2/3 of the time, 1/3 you need to tap-hold swipe a bit down to trigger it, how can you screw something so simple as unlocking lock screen (and these are the higher paid guys shipping closed android to boot, not the aosp team), networking wlan+mobile and fallback is also screwed up on xperia vs cheapest samsung, it’s not looking good)
I am very happy to see the mobile data fix for Android apps, even if there are some edge cases that need to be smoothed out around it. Thanks Sailors for that! I can actually try daily driving it now that I can take the device out into the world with more confidence that I can keep in touch with people or do simple things like buy an HSL ticket. Sorry Pixel, you’re back to being a development-specific device for now at least!
Neither my C2 nor my Sony Xperia 10V (Android 14) is showing an update option. (Language: Hungarian, Region: Germany—I’m not sure if that matters.)
Thank you for detailed description, but unfortunaly it does not work for me @jovirkku: Do you have another tip to get the Mobile internet in AppSupport working?
uhh, sms working stable? That’s promising. My family members almost kicked me out, also due to text prediction is not there with .43. To recover SMS, I was occasionally forced to shutdown, remove SIM, reboot, shutdown, insert SIM again, start again the C2. Sometimes only restart did the trick. I typically never use WLAN/WiFi, however tried once because of ÖFFI app & the know restrictions of .43, from where I then had really bad experience with internet connectivity, once WLAN was off. Also with .43 the mobile network behave occasionally strange. Indicated as connected. however Apps (e.g. browser, telegram) indicate internet not reachable. found a ping to a public server e.g. bahn.de can help to re-establish connection again. Just not always, then need to switch off mobile network , reboot, switch mobile network on again. If the mobile network is not turned off prio reboot it will not recover mobile network. Anyway, aren’t we in a kind of early stage? So - I’m looking forward for more experience with the next general ava. version. Staying with patience. Possibly I then can share my future observations from my C2 jolla armada in a structured way. Cheers…
Note that i can understand the frustration. Missing text prediction and sms causing ofono crash were terrible issues. The kind of ones which makes sms pretty unreliable / unusable.
I’m using were, because i hope they’re fixed now . Will give it a try, update in progress.
Interesting, I never had these Issues with Android 14 on 10 V. Everything was rock solid before and after rooting the device.
On my 10 V device the screen is so dim under Sailfish that I cannot use it outdoors. This problem is neither with 10 iii and Sailfish, nor the same 10 V under Android (Stock OS, rooted and also not in AOSP), only the combination of my 10 V with SailfishOS renders the device in a state with a dim screen that can NOT be used outdoors (even BlackBerry Q10 from 2012 is better, wtf)…
Since I appear to be the only one to have this problem, I was speculating that maybe different subconfigurations are on the market, subconfigurations with minor differences in hardware that do not affect the usual specification sheets, but might explain my dim screen that nobody else sees and your lock screen problems and networking mobile or WLAN.
Never had any network connection problems under Android 14 on the 10 V, neither WLAN, nor mobile, neither stock Android, nor rooted, nor AOSP.
But, it is just a speculation…
Mayve continue potential discussion in the Xperia 10 V thread?
Updating my 10III made me to remove completely android hard way, as it did not start at all after upgrading to 5.0.0.55
I installed play services using this guide for 4.6.xx and it worked very well on my 10III Google Play Services installation to Sailfish X · GitHub
I have now flashed, updated and furnished my C2. But I still have no mobile internet on Android. The settings of Android say there would be no Sim card
