Situations from the Jolla Shop is the software exactly for this kind of “if whatever then something” rules.
You could add a custom rule to switch network on/off.

In your case, you’d first turn on the “face down” gesture in the regular settings of Sailfish: this will disable alerts (forgot if its done by do-not-disturb mode, or just setting the volume to 0).
Then add an extra rule in Situations: if alerts are disabled, then activate airplane.

The only draw back is that Situations is currently proprietary.

Did you install the opensource microG (or the official Google Play Services)?
A lot of android applications rely on Google Cloud Messaging for Push notifications.
It’s not part of the base opensource Android (AOSP), but it’s implemented in microG (and in the official Play Service, but those come with their own drawbacks). Once installed, setup a Google account in microG, turn on cloud messaging for your mail app.

Push-notifications from the native browser possible?

HI!
My 10 III shows android version 10.
62.0.A.3.109
Do I have to update to android 11?
And how to update?

#210

Presumably you have not unlocked boot loader yet so could update in Settings:
OTA → 62.0.A.3.131
OTA → 62.0.A.3.163
OTA → 62.0.A.9.11

Alright. Thank you. I’m trying to update them…

Am I the only one struggling with swipe-closing camera in landscape mode from right edge?
Option menu pops up for several times before I can swipe-close the camera.

#214

No, you are not the only one - there are at least two of us!

For me, X10II had this issue, but X10III does not.

I do have dconf write /desktop/lipstick-jolla-home/peekfilter/boundaryWidth 96 set, which makes it easier to use edge swipes. It didn’t really help with X10II, though.

For the people who just want to directly flash the latest version, but didn’t manage to fetch it with XperiFirm before Sony purged older versions from their servers, see the link I mention in that post.

I don’t have symbols counter when typing SMS on 10mk3 and latest 4.4 SFOS.
Am I the only one?

PS I know there was probably a ‘show only when close to limit’ change, but I don’t see a counter at all.

Enable it in settings/apps

For me it’s pretty damn amazing. Coming from Jolla 1 which was unusable, this is absolutely useable and very responsive. What would make it amazing would be AdblockPlus ported for it!

Thoughts re my X10 III and SFOS 4.4
The phone - coming from Jolla 1 is very responsive. Really nice and bright interface. My battery has lasted two days and still going at 34%. I have 4G and WLAN running. I am using it more and more so the wlan drain is not occurring for me.
Onedrive auto backup is running smoothly.
Fingerprint sensor is working too. One touch to turn on screen, another touch to unlock - easy.
No issues with bluetooth either pairing with Win 10 laptop nor Subaru BRZ car though alas, I don’t have sms and sometimes the artist title isn’t picked up.

Couldn’t agree more. Any ad block would be amazing

After each power on / reboot of my 10 III, even though Bluetooth is enabled and correctly working, there is no Bluetooth icon in the status bar and also the “quick access” Bluetooth icon/button in the pull down menu is inactive (as if Bluetooth was disabled). At the same time, on the Settings / Bluetooth screen it is correctly shown as enabled and I can normally use Bluetooth.

It takes disabling and re-enabling Bluetooth (either using that icon or from Settings / Bluetooth screen) for the Bluetooth icon to appear in the status bar and the icon/button in the menu to correctly show its enabled state.

Should I file a bug report?

#223

Already reported: Bluetooth toggle and indicator is out of sync with reality

Thanks, sorry for not searching carefully enough. After whole night spent in garage, (successfully) resolving pairing issues with my car kits, I see s**t :slight_smile:

Today in the morning I was expecting an important SMS. When I woke up it wasn’t there, so I tried to call the person who was supposed to send it. Despite normal indicators in the status bar showing good coverage (3G at that time), several attempts to make a call resulted in “Network error” message. I needed to use another phone to make a call. I was told that the SMS was sent to me half an hour earlier, and the sender even got the receipt confirmation. But I never got that SMS. I could make calls on the X10 III only after reboot.

Let’s see in further use if it was indeed a network problem or was it the X10 III acting up.

How do background android apps work on your 10mk3?
Element (matrix client) deoesn’t update anything from the net 'til I manually select it’s window.
Seems like background network is disabled.
It wasn’t like that earlier.
