There is NO way this update was tested. Nothing hardly works

Very convenient that OP does not mention a version number, so this thread is already open and ready for when 4.4 comes out. :stuck_out_tongue:

@TaKras regarding Android apps and also the Sailfish browser : a few days ago I installed MicroG and was really really surprised what all works now faster and better than before. Since MicroG is installed on the phone, even browser is appreciably faster and webpages show functionalities they didn’t show before. I have no idea why but it’s a fact. Xperia 10 / 4.3.0.15.

Jolla folks know what version. They don’t need me to point it out especially when we cancan’t go back to past version that work better. I am sure as programmers and as people the provide deliverables…they are use to trying to figure out an end users complaints and reported issues.

But honestly I doubt they even give a rip since alot of the issues we face have been aroubd for years.

I is not easy to understand what you want to say but it sure is some sort of complaint.

Maybe you should contact customer support and leave us alone.

He did not mock you but Jolla and the foreseeable problems with the upcoming version

I mean, yeah, very productive to complain about issues you expect to be there without you having any idea about what will be in the next release. Unless you can see the future, that is very unlikely to be helping anyone. That is just complaining for complaints sake and an utter waste of anyones time. I can understand complaining about bugs, but about potential bugs in the future?

Why zombie?
I bet the 4.4 will not be any way better than the previous ones, but I personally hope Jolla has read the thread or has learned something: more testing before release.
In fact it is not even officially out and complains already started

That is a totally new aspect. Thank you for your surely much appreciated contribution.

Its not… I.have the same bugs plus one more. If I set the phone to prefer 4G.it will not make or receive calls.

it can send and receive text but I can get to the forum when preferred 4g.

calls can only be made when using prefer 3g.
sms will not reopen if you close it.

The phone really hard to work with. I I knew how to reset this phone to use Android i would.

For now I do not plan to upgrade.
I hear of new problems, so … may be I skip this one.

As I said I hope Jolla starts testing more properly before release, but if not - I have people like you who would install and hopefully report the issues here.

I am afraid, I normally do not have much to report although I use my phone as a daily driver. I don’t install EA releases, I do not mess around with the system, refrain from patches etc.
I just use my XA2 as a phone, for navigation, Threema, Signal, Telegram, Email, web browsing, etc.
When a new system release is published I press install and that’s about it. Works.

Not same experience here. I also do not install EA, but things do not work properly as mentioned earlier in the thread.

Honestly I am shocked its just this bad. Not only don’t they test for bugs…they just don’t seem to care about the user’s user experience .

the os was never this bad a couple of years ago.

could my hardware just be broken? My.phone becomes practically not usable if I close the message application. It starts draining that battery at a rapid pace unless I reboot it.

or if I use the utils and click rebuild application registry. I sould not have to do that.

if i do that the phone pretty much reboots but if I open the message and and close it, the phone again starts rapidly draining the battery (it gets pretty warm) so I have to reboot or do that reset application registry again.

So if i want the phone to work normal I have to either not open the message application or If i open it i.have to leave it open all day. Its pure insanity.

The switching to 4g thing is just nuts so I just stay in 3g mode.

the OS is getting worst…bordering on unusable.

For the OS version 4.3 I felt the complaint was being a bit harsh but having upgraded to 4.4, I wholeheartedly agree. I’ve been away for a few days and when travelling on a train I connected it to the train’s wifi. Fine. Except that when I got to the hotel, it wouldn’t connect to the hotel’s wifi as it wouldn’t disconnect from the train’s wifi. So I rebooted. Except that it wouldn’t. It wouldn’t fully power-off. It just sat there with a red LED glowing. With the trick of holding both volume buttons and pressing the power button I get it back working. On the train home today, it wouldn’t connect to the train’s wifi as it wanted to stay connected to the station wifi. So another power-cycle. I then received a text sent yesterday morning! But all the time this thing has supposedly has 4G connectivity as I’ve been in the centre of London. I can but agree that it’s bordering on unusable.

With the failure to properly update to 4.4 I went back to v3.2 and did all the upgrades to bring it up to 4.4 so there can hardly be any complaints from Jolla that the thing has been contaminated with other software and that’s what causing the problem. I don’t believe it is. I think the whole os is now degrading so rapidly that I’m seriously thinking of jumping ship. I have a couple of apps of my own and they work just fine with no sandboxing needed. I have another app which did need that but at least I can get all the data out.

I think the next thing for me will be to see if I can port my own apps to an iPhone.

I started to get p*ssed off with Jolla with the defaultuser stuff. With each update some other stuff has been introduced which just seem to screw the phone up even more.

The software held so much promise. Sad that it’s come to this.

What device are you using?
I know that WiFi problem - not from my Xperia 10 ii with SFOS 4.4 though but rather from my iPhone X running iOS 15, strange …
