Xperia X: Can no longer launch apps after updating to SFOS 4.0.1.48

[ronny_b]

Hello,

I have the following problem on my Xperia X after updating to SFOS 4.0.1.48. I can no longer open SFOS programs that require extra confirmation for permissions (Calendar, Phone, Contacts, etc.). After confirming permissions, the appswitcher shows the app window with spinning circle for a short time and then closes. In journal, for example, I get the following messages when starting the calendar:

Feb 22 18:37:29 Sailfish dbus-daemon[2416]: dbus-daemon[2416]: [session uid=100000 pid=2416] Activating service name=‘com.jolla.calendar.ui’ requested by ‘:1.96’ (uid=100000 pid=6782 comm="/usr/libexec/mliteremoteaction com.jolla.calendar.")

The update was completely problem-free and without errors. How can I fix this error?

Thanks, Ronny

Hello,
I suppose your problem is partially covered in the following thread:

Sailfish Core Apps do not work after Update to Sailfish 4.0.1.45 (sandboxing problem?)

REPRODUCIBILITY (% or how often): 100% BUILD ID = OS VERSION (Settings > About product): 4.0.1.45 HARDWARE (Jolla1, Tablet, XA2,…): XA2 Dual Sim DESCRIPTION: I want to open a core app (e.g. Mail, Phone, Contact, Notes, Documents, Mediaplayer…), at first startup it asked for permissions (e.g. to access contacts). I accepted. The app tries to load and can be seen on the app grid for two second and then closes. After this the app always closes. The phone is completely unusable at the moment. I…

Some users report, the problem is caused by using a modified etc/hosts.

After some fiddle I had to reflash my phone to get my xa2 working properly.

Hi Ronny,
could you pleaase share, how yo solved your issue? I seem to have the same problm (had a custom hosts file and after a reboot the apps do not work - I eveb can’t take a call!)
I already restored the original hosts file and rebooted, but no help. Interestingly, I can open & run the apps from the terminal, but then I do not have any connection with any accounts, meaning, I do not have any contacts, mails and Calendar are completely empty.
I understand that there was an option to modify the desktop files, did that do the trick for you?

thanks

Hi kamarjaeger,

no, I had never changed anything on the hosts.

My first problem was the installed package “hebrew-icon-calendar”, which had changed the starter of the calendar.

I also had “/home/xxx/android_storage” defined as a link to the SD card. Funnily enough, this only interfered with the Jolla apps. But I was able to fix this simply by adding an entry in the Android config.

Now I would still be happy if the patch manager would also work again. So I am unfortunately still missing some important things.
