oh god, maybe it WAS a deliberate change.
Notifications are re-issued less often (e.g. Signal Background connection)

…DIFFERENT messages are not ‘notifications being re-issued’. this has got to be an accidental regression, yea?

I’m not sure if it is actually a regression. I had this same issue (albeit for calls) a few OS releases ago. Then it somehow got fixed by itself.

ooh, interesting. this sounds like the same bug (of course, its ALL the notification noisy-events that dont repeat, including SOUND, and the temporary screen-unlock, and of course the LED change, for me. i dont know if there is a sound for a missed call notification)

also, i discovered that i dont get the charging notification sound if i have a text-notification i have not cleared, so this is definitely a bug.

I’m sorry to say the update (4.5.0.18, 10 III) didn’t fix the issue with the news article I shared in the previous post. I closed all apps and Android Support, but the browser crashes every time I open the link. With a bit of patience I’m able to watch the first tab of that article, but when I tap to change the tab, the browser crashes again. When I try to re-open the browser, it crashes again, at least most of the time.

I tried to tweak the values in /sys/module/lowmemoykiller/parameters/minfree by using two or three times smaller values compared to default, but that led to even faster crashing of the browser.

Even though the problem seems to persist, I’m still pleased that you were able to publish an update in such a short period of time!

4.5.0.18 fixed audio on sverigesradio.se

#289

Not sure if this is a regression. With 4.4, I had the impression, under certain conditions, another SMS from the same person didn’t trigger audible notification. If I remember correctly, I saw the graphical notification on the screen, didn’t touch the phone, went away, and later on was suprised that there were more SMSs, which I didn’t notice. I had this “feeling” several times, But I didn’t hunt it down to make a bug report.
Another thing to verify: If and SMS comes in when the graphical notification is still visible, is there an audible notification? Volume of “display on” or of “display off”???

#290

it is a regression. OF COURSE multiple texts from the same person have always made noise each time, it would be INSANE not to. no phone or mobile os on earth, not to mention no IM app ive ever seen, ignores a message hours later simply because it received a msg from the same person once upon a time

i flashed 4.5.0.16 and 4.4.0.72, back and forth twice to make sure it works.

4.4: sound+unlock+banner on EVERY text
4.5: no sound, no unlock, no banner, no led, nothing except the notification list getting a new entry, for all except the first

I have this problem too, but with the new Office365 account type. There seems no way to fix it other than delete the accounts and set them up again from scratch after every reboot.

The beef of the 4.5.0.18 hotfix was ffmpeg 5.0 backporting. That fixed plenty of pages reporting missing video codec.

Did try many different user-agents for the mtvuutiset.fi but didn’t find better one. This is something that we usually check first. Other plausible cause could be that our preferences are too strict and cookies are rejected right away.

Here is a forum bug for mtvuutiset.fi

This is not correct. Each and every SMS, even from the same number makes the receiving Sailfish phone (with 4.5.0) show a notification banner for 4-5 seconds at the top of the display and play the messages sound. If to message should arrive between an interval of one second, then the 2nd banner (and sound) are played as soon as the 1st one has elapsed.

I ran the 4.5 update yesterday evening, upon the reboot I noticed the android apps were not there yet, so as per instructions I just let the phone rest. Today the apps are still not present. I don’t know what appsupport is but out of curiosity I ran:

'[defaultuser@Xperia10III ~]$ appsupport-info
aliendalvik doesn’t exist

Jolla store says Android support is installed. How can I fix this please? I suppose the new 4.5.0.18 won’t help me, will it? I have not yet restarted my 10 III.

#295

Did you start (Android) App-Support (aka Alien Dalvik)? Maybe you need to do this once manually from the settings menu

You might trying to re-install it from the Jolla store (although this should not be needed)

#296

You are right, that fixed it! I usually start it by launching a now missing application…

#297

Great! I vaguely recalled that I needed to do the same.

Maybe there should be a general hint at a prominent place form Jolla’s side …

#298

@teleshoes Breath! Remember breathing!
