SFOS 4.5 feedback thread

[rsoto]

Already tried searching again (i.e. after the initial error message immediately after clicking ‘Software Updates’ under 'Settings) before posting - still doesn’t work for me

@rsoto

After the update, I have been unable to search for updates - the software updater complains about not being able to connect to the internet

That should not happen even if there are no further updates like now. A few things to check:

• Using the browser, can you reach some websites?
• Can you add a new city to the Weather app?
• Is your Jolla account ok in Settings > Accounts?
• Can you install apps in Jolla Store?
• Are the date and time correct on your phone?
• Do you have the licence enabled on your phone (can you see “Android AppSupport” in Jolla Store)?
• Does the problem persist after rebooting the phone?

The update threw all my Android apps out of directories and now I cannot find anything as I have many screenfulls of them. I miss global search from iOS more than ever before.

Global search (App launcher by keyboard search?)

On iOS and optionally on KISS Launcher on Android I can swipe down from the middle of the screen to get a search box and keyboard open instantly to search for app names to launch. I would like to have the same on SailfishOS as I have difficulties finding my apps (considering they get arranged in order of installation) and I don’t manually sort apps much.

Hi!

YES to ALL, EXCEPT for adding a new city to the weather app - However, I had always had this problem, so this is not exclusive to 4.5.

[SleepNicely]

So now I reinstalled Sailfish to the new version 4.5 and now Android Support is working again…

4.5 doesn’t appear to have changed my mobile data problem:

Xperia 10 iii can't enable mobile data on talkmobile use the same settings used on my XA2 Plus

I have upgraded both my XA2 and the 10iii to SFOS 4.5: Same settings used on my XA2 Plus work fine. Xperia 10 III handset was confirmed to have working telephony/mobile-data before device flashing. Xperia 10 III running 4.5 can make phone calls, shows “3.5G” and shows 40% signal on the sim icon on the desktop, and shows “TalkMobile” as enabled in the settings. It also shows as “Enabled” rather than “Connected”, and there is no double triangle icon next to the “3.5G” on the homescreen. Using th…

Hi jovirkku. Thank you for your response. I just removed the android_storage/.storage_migration_done file and rebooted my Xperia X 10 II phone. Unfortunalty it did not help. The android apps are still not there and the .storage_migration_done file is created again. But it has 0 bytes. What can I do now. Shoud I wait for some minutes, hours? Or should I generate persistent log files via Collect Persistent Logs | Sailfish OS Documentation and send it to you or what should I do next?

Hejhej Jovirkku,

I have the same problem (Android support showing the proper WLAN but each with “No Internet” tag), being unable to access updates/stores (FDroid, Aurora) or apps that need logins (DB, banking, army, news aggregators) but letting Instagram and Whatsapp pass through (normal behaviour, no loss of data connection) since the update to 4.5.0.16 EA. Also, there’s the same behaviour with mobile internet, but it doesn’t have the means to display missing internet connectivity. It also persists when only allowing 3G both for SFOS and Android layer.

The steps you mentioned above were all without flaw or fail, the problem starts with Android support.

Cheers,

Lutwolf

Add-On: SFOS 4.5.0.16 on Xperia XA 2 Plus, untrusted software allowed, full Android license since the beginning.

update with xperia 10III went smoothly, no problems. but after the update my podcast app gpodder is missing the download button when accessing a podcast.

in general: still no bluetooth or nfc for android apps … too bad

[Sepelius]

Following this as exactly same issue with me & Xperia 10 II. Made backups of everything important so reflashing is a good clean-up possibility but quite bothersome all in all.

[comsorg]

The upgrade on Xperia X 10 II to 4.5.0.16 passed without problems, in 12 minutes.
Android apps appeared after a couple of minutes, without rebooting the phone.
I checked the banking application right away – it works. I will check the rest as I use it.

[lukas_jolla2015]

my 2 cents concerning the update on a XIII (no android support activated):
The update process worked like a charm, even no hard reboot needed
Everything works out of the box. No credentials of any accounts lost, MMS are working and so on. Had just a little problem with SMS, because VoLTE was activated automatically after update. Deactivating solved this issue immediately for me.
The new calendar view is really cool! Thanks for this update at all!

@tmindrup

Or should I generate persistent log files via Collect Persistent Logs | Sailfish OS Documentation and send it to you or what should I do next?

Yes, please. Then we have a chance of seeing what is wrong (if the related logs are still on your phone). Cannot promise, though.

@tmindrup

But it has 0 bytes

That is just a flag file meaning “job done”. If it exists then the phone won’t try to restart the migration.

Hello, the update to 4.5 on XA2 went smoothly, but now my Targobank app does not work anymore. I used this app for verifying my online purchases and the app was very good with SF4.4. Now the app stops with ‘service invalid’ message and I cannot use it anymore.

[fingus]

I am using Targobank online Banking with SailfishOS-Browser and SMS-Tan, so no need for the Android-App.

[htaeubert]

No SMS tan supported anymore here. This is also not a solution, the app was working before the update.

[apozaf]

I really, really like the new week view in the calendar app. Awesome, 100000000 thx <3

[elastic]

Same here some android apps get internet some don’t (funny enough firefox doesn’t…) no pattern - reinstall of the apps doesn’t solve the problem

[kaosan]

The update went smoothly on Xperia 10 II. However, I noticed that I am unable to open Situations app since the update. The icon keeps spinning forever.
I am not sure if it is a new issue introduced by 4.5 as I haven’t used Do not disturb mode before, but it seems to be only partially obeyed by some apps. It seems that I do not get sound notifications when receiving a message on Element (Matrix client) running on android. However, the same app ignores Do not disturb when receiving a voice call from the same contact and the phone rings.
