Thanks for these replies! Tried it and most things went fine. I though had several āWTFā moments:
-
Flashing went fine. When I unplugged the cable the blue LED stayed on and pressing the power button seemed to have no effect. In the end I connected it again to USB and rebooted using fastboot reboot
. That worked well.
-
When I aborted the tutorial (long time SailfishOS user; since the Jolla 1), it suddenly no more accepted any gestures and the LED went red. It vibrated when it recognised my finger, but thatās all it did in that state. I managed to turn it and reboot of by pressing the power key for quite a while.
-
It then asked the PIN twice and the first time the vibration upon typing did not work (but also didnāt look like the normal SailfishOS login). It though seems to do that now with every boot. My XA2 did not do that, even not with the same version (4.4.0.64) of SailfishOS. (Although Iām not sure how often I rebooted with that version.)
-
When restoring the backup from my XA2 from a microSD card it at the end stated (in German): āError: Couldnāt load notesā with a ā behind. And indeed, the Notes application is empty. But not only the notes are missing, also all contacts and calendar entries, i.e. the most important stuff.
This first looked like Manual backup to SD: failure to load playlists or notes but that seems about the actual backup failing, while for me the restore is failing.
Not sure if issues or if thatās ājust as it isā:
- The āNetwork modeā switch only offers 4G, not 5G. Iām not sure if there should be 5G support or not. Android definitely did work with 5G.
Probably ājust as it isā and unrelated to any Android version:
- The backup also didnāt seem to restore any UI settings or similar. (Never tried a restore before though.), but IIRC that never worked. Maybe also related to not having finished restoring the backup.
Anyway, otherwise seems to work fine. Didnāt have a phone call yet (just a missed call ), though.
