[Release notes] Tampella 5.0.0.67

I don’t know if it’s still relevant but I get a usfully quick fix when I start gps-info app with individuell gps settings shown in the picture. Since I use SFOS I have been starting gps-info parallel to PureMaps because I allways had the impression that that’s the only (qick enough) way to get a fix.
Doing it that way I sometimes get a fix within 1 or 2 minutes.

Cheers, broncheolus.

Activating GPS-Info might help. I tend to believe that myself.

But using Mozilla Location Service simply does not. Mozilla Location Service does not work anymore.

„Exklusiver Gerätemodus” will do the job as well.

The update went fine after I moved the appsupport.img to home. That was necessary to free the space of root partitition.
The update installed a new image, so I deleted the backup later.
My hardware: Sony Xperia 10III Dual Sim

Deleting opt/appsupport/system.img worked. Afterwards I cpuld do the update.

Hi All,
On the 10V the GUI update was not working for me, so I have tried with sfos-upgrade.
However, I keep running into this:

UPGRADE NOT COMPLETE - Retry 4 of 9
Waiting 5 seconds before retry.
REFRESHING CACHE AND DOWNLOADING PACKAGES
[0 %] [Download] mimic 1.3.0.1-1.3.1.bso: [99 %]
Error: For repo /var/tmp/AP_0xdqga2s/aarch64/mimic-1.3.0.1-1.3.1.bso.aarch64.rpm 321f48bebb724e0e4cdd526aba5a02f0f4429b670e5aefe717b5433c0fe67436 is requested but b1af78739d9c5c1fb4194e8594061b5f38699f8f3d0036916a082837d3c3f59d was found!
Finished transaction (status=8, runtime=83440ms)

Does anyone have any suggestions? The upgrade does not finish, sfos-upgrade ends with:

The upgrade could NOT be finished. Make sure you have
a working Internet Connection and SSU is propertly set up. In
case the repos are changing rapidly (e.g. during development),
just restarting the upgrade might fix the issue.

Thanks very much,
Justin.


EDIT:
I tried to use zypper to sort out the mimic issues, not sure what is going on with that. But I could not.
So I removed mimic, and the update proceeded without hiccup.
I have mimic installed so Puremaps talks. Why have I hit this issue, and others have not?
Post update, I have tried to reinstall mimic and cannot. There is a problem with the file it seems, for me at least.


EDIT 2:
It seems mimic has failed to build on obs at some stage. I will see if I can make a note in the correct thread to catch @rinigus attention.

I can confirm that this also fixed the issue for me (Xperia 10III)

Android apps ignore /etc/hosts now. I am pretty sure that this was working until this release.

Can some confirm this either way? Has this not been working for some time anymore, is possibly even intended? Or should /etc/hosts be working and is not anymore?

You might get an answer here:

From what I could muster from the link you posted, we’re supposed to populate system/etc/hosts with the list to block Android app ads.
Can the same be achieved with something like this?

devel-su curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/StevenBlack/hosts/master/hosts -o /system/etc/hosts

With this version [5.0.0.67], I still have the problem on the Jolla C2 that after switching from mobile data to WLAN and back, the WLAN doesn’t provide a connection even though it shows that it is connected. Resetting the network settings doesn’t help, only a reboot fixes it. Is there a known workaround, such as a command-line command, to fix it temporarily until this is resolved?

Edit: Also, enabling Flight Mode and resetting the SIM card (using systemctl restart ofono) doesn’t fix it.

Edit 2: Additionally, systemctl restart connman doesn’t fix it either (I think it does the same thing as the Restart Network button in Preferences).

You didn’t mentioned Flight mode or SIM disable/reenable.

I did add it. However, the second one (SIM disable/reenable) doesn’t make sense if the problem is with the WLAN and not mobile data, but I even tried it without success.

That sound like good news. I can’t believe the device is a multiple GB RAM, multiprocessor platform since multitasking is (was?) below 2010 level.

In 2010, we didn’t have a mobile OS that could run both Linux and the Android system at the same time.

Enable second SIM, disable first, reenable it and finally disable the second one.

It seems you didn’t understand the problem. WLAN connection is independent of mobile data and SIM-Cards. My problem is the WLAN-Connection.

I did. Did you try anway?

Yes, and like expected it does not fix it.

As in most of the phones GSM SOM handles both mobile data and WiFi this is posible and it was already seen here in forum. So it’s not trivial to NOT expect it.

Maybe on a hardware-base but it seems theres a software-bug within connman or network-stack for wlan
