Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to talk badly about Sailfish OS. I really, really like the usability of this OS and I highly appreciate the huge efforts of the whole Jolla team. That’s why I’ve been onboard the Jolla ship for almost 10 years now. But let’s be honest: For the vast majority of people it’s just not possible to rely on a Sailfish phone, only. You just need an additional Android phone running apps for online-banking, mobility providers, smart-home, electronic devices (e.g. hifi,camera), corona prevention/vaccination status and so on. Regarding the privacy: That’s a valid point but then please don’t use the Google search engine on your Sailfish device or apps like Whatsapp 
And if you have to use an additional Android device like me, you already gave up about this issue anyway… Regarding the security argument: Using Sailfish, your device is rooted. That means that the device is not very secure to start with, which is why online-banking apps don’t run in general on rooted devices. Apart from that, as you might know already it often takes a lot of time for Jolla to fix even very bad security leaks. In the end, Sailfish OS still is in a kind of an experimental status. That’s why Jolla specifically tells potential customers in the Jolla shop that they should not expect a fully-working, bug-free OS… I still don’t want to give up on Sailfish, but I’m more and more frustrated having to carry around 2 phones instead of 1 and having to charge both of them…
Having said that I want to thank the Jolla team for providing this new release and for continuing to sail the Jolla ship 
I’ve never really owned an Android phone - I just don’t do anything that I can’t do on SailfishOS. Maybe I’m lucky that my banking app works in aliendalvik, but I don’t really feel disadvantaged. Sure the BT in Android would be nice (and I think will be feasible one day) but that’s about it. I certainly wouldn’t trade the possibility to get in my device and move/copy/change anything I wanted for any bell/whistle apps. The frustration when an Android/iOS device just won’t let you do something or get something that you know is right there is too annoying.
About the rooting - it’s not really correct to say SailfishOS is ‘rooted’, because that (like jailbreaking) implies that an exploit has been used to open up access to the device that you shouldn’t normally have. Because you have to use dodgy exploiting apps to open it up, it’s regarded as ‘insecure’ but in reality the only thing that the security is supposed to be protecting against is you.
Also, that argument that if you use one or two Android apps then you might as well give up on privacy completely. That comes straight from the people who want you to give up on privacy. Resistance isn’t futile. Give them as little as you can, and certainly not everything just because you can’t give them nothing.
I think this may be one of the reasons why I would never be able to use Android for more than a few minutes without creating a new hole in my wall 
Exactly. We get reminded of it every time a family or friend ask us to ‘quickly help’ with some problem on their devices. I remember once my sister’s iphone was full even though she’d deleted nearly everything from it. I can’t run du so I can’t help you 
This, exactly this! I just modified the email client to my liking (instead of just complaining about it)! One of the best part of using SFOS is that if something doesn’t work right, I can fix it myself!
Since you mentioned privacy: I have some of.these apps and keep these on my Idiotphone for reasons of privacy and security. Many of these I do not have at all for the same reason.
(My Idiotphone is an old S4 with Lineage and never active for longer than the ride in a taxi, uber or picking up packets etc.)
With everything you may need to achieve this already provided by the OS. (ssh, terminal, vi).
Thank you everyone for all the info! and very much for Sailfish. I didn’t need help with installing 4.4.0.64 after all. I have an Xperia X II, was running 4.4.0.58. Started to download the install file a couple of days ago, but after about 3 hours it still seemed to be downloading, and I had to give up (never done this before). I thought, if the download was incomplete, I’d be able to find it and delete it – but I couldn’t find it. Maybe it was complete? I backed everything up and put a copy of the OS on my PC in case I had to reflash, then hit the Install prompt. Seemed ok, but stuck showing ‘SAILFISH OS’ – I feared the phone was borked, couldn’t close it down. Eventually I found the post above about a long press fixing it, and after a VERY long press, all was well. Phone started up, shows the current release, all good
It’s not like they would have some incentives to try to push her to buy the newer iPhone model with much more storage or something
Are you suggesting they have any other reason for omitting SD card slots?
No, that was just to make you more happy with the final solution of all needs: The next iphone.
But you can’t argue with a phenomenon. People always find the one product which the industry only made to make them personally happy. Nice people there, at the industry.
GPS is working very well on my XA2 since this update!
Yes, GPS seems much better indeed (in my limited testing).
Thanks for you help,
I have resolve the problem : boot on live usb kubuntu and flash my Xperia10iii

Not sure if it has already been reported but I haven’t seen it: there is a typo in the label for the new “restart fingerprint service” button under Settings/Utilities, “circumstancces” with a spurious double c. Language English (UK).
By the way, I have just noticed that the text for the new “restart fingerprint service” is not translated in French.
