Bekannte Bugs

  • Bluetooth-Pairing und Audioverbindungen können unter Umständen immer noch fehlschlagen
  • Einige Facebook-Dienste (Synchronisieren von FB-Ereignissen mit dem Kalender; Hochladen von Bildern aus einer Galerie in den FB) funktionieren aufgrund einiger Änderungen am FB-Ende nicht (unabhängig von der Betriebssystemversion).
  • Das Light Ambiente-Konzept von Sailfish 3 muss poliert und optimiert werden. Es gibt immer noch Probleme mit den Farben verschiedener Objekte, wenn Sie Umgebungen mit hellen Hintergrundfarben verwenden.
  • Das Deaktivieren eines Kalenderkontos verhindert nicht notwendigerweise, dass Termine angezeigt werden.
  • Die Chacha20-Poly1305-Verschlüsselung funktioniert derzeit nicht, was häufig für SSH ausgewählt wird. Es wurde in der sshd-Konfigurationsdatei deaktiviert, aber wenn Sie es manuell geändert haben, wird es nicht automatisch aktualisiert. Sie können ssh mit ’ssh -c aes128-ctr‘ in Ihr Gerät einfügen und die Datei / etc / ssh / sshd_config mit der ‚rpmnew‘ -Version vergleichen, falls vorhanden.

Bekannte Bugs – spezifisch für Xperia X

  • Nicht implementierte Funktionen: NFC, Fingerabdruckerkennung, UKW-Radio, Doppeltipp, Schrittzähler
  • Bei einigen SIM-Karten bleiben Probleme mit mobilen Daten bestehen. Schalten Sie den Flugmodus ein und aus, um die Netzwerkeinrichtung zurückzusetzen. Es hat oft geholfen, das Gerät auf Android umzustellen und Sailfish X erneut zu installieren. Siehe unseren Support-Artikel.
  • Bei der manuellen Netz- / Netzbetreibersuche werden alle Netze mit demselben Namen (dem Namen des SIM-Anbieters) aufgeführt. Verwenden Sie die automatische Suche. Wenn dies nicht möglich ist, müssen Sie leider mehrere Elemente in den manuellen Suchergebnissen ausprobieren. Das oberste Element ist nicht notwendigerweise dasjenige, das Sie bedienen können (gilt für die meisten SIM-Karten).
  • [Kamera] Erzwingt den Autofokusmodus für Fotos und den kontinuierlichen Modus für Videos. Danach ist der Kamerafokus immer noch nicht ideal – da die Kamera beim Start bis zum Antippen oder Versuchen, eine Aufnahme zu machen, unscharf bleibt, scheinen die Bilder jedoch jetzt besser fokussiert zu sein
  • Wenn das Gerät ausgeschaltet ist, funktionieren die Alarme nicht
  • Bluetooth: Probleme mit einigen Fahrzeuggeräten, einigen Audiogeräten und Computern können auftreten
  • Die Lautstärke der Lautsprecher kann nicht sehr hoch eingestellt werden
  • Nicht alle SD-Karten werden erkannt und eingehängt.

Bekannte Bugs – spezifisch für Xperia XA2

  • Nicht implementierte Funktionen: NFC, Fingerabdruckerkennung, UKW-Radio, Doppeltippen
  • Die Batterie entleert sich schnell, wenn WLAN eingeschaltet ist
  • Bluetooth: Es gibt Verbindungsprobleme bei diversen Peripheriegeräte
  • XA2 fährt nicht hoch, wenn die Alarmzeit verstrichen ist
  • Die Ausblendung der Anzeige ist während Telefonanrufen oder Alarmen (aufgrund eines Näherungssensors) instabil. Schnelles dreifaches antippen des Einschaltknopfes hilft.
  • Das Aufspielen von Sailfish X auf XA2 schlägt möglicherweise immer noch fehl (bisher unter Ubuntu 18.04 bei Verwendung des USB3-Ports). Bitte lesen Sie diesen Artikel.
  • Mobile Daten funktionieren mit bestimmten SIM-Karten oder Betreibern in den meisten Android-Apps nicht
  • WLAN funktioniert nicht auf Kanal 13
  • Es gibt zwei Arbeitsversionen der Vendor-Binärdateien: v16 und v17B. Beide können verwendet werden.

Bekannte Bugs – spezifisch für Gemini PDA

  • Gemini Screenshot Button Fn + X funktioniert nicht
  • Anrufe können nicht entgegengenommen werden, wenn der Gemini mit der seitlichen Taste geschlossen wurde
  • Alarm funktioniert nicht
  • Einige Apps von Drittanbietern haben Probleme im Querformatmodus.

Changelog

Detailed changelog is available here.

For those porting Sailfish to other devices

The following two fixes must be included to be able to use the 3.0.2 SDK for porting Sailfish to other devices:

Updating your device

Your device must be connected to the Internet and signed into your Jolla account. If your Jolla account is registered for Early Access releases you should receive an OS update notification when an update is available. If you have decided not to take the Early Access registration then you will get the OS update typically one week later.

We warmly recommend making some 3-4 GB of free space to the internal storage of your device before starting the update. Move your pictures and videos to the SD card (or to your PC or cloud service). After the upgrade turn on the option to save pictures and videos directly from the camera to the memory card (Settings > Apps > Camera). This is important particularly in case of „Jolla Phone“ devices (product name „Jolla“ in Settings > About product).

This is the usual drill before attempting to update your devices:

Take a backup of your data before attempting to update your device and save the backup to an SD card or to some other off-device location (PC, your cloud service). Note that videos and images are not included in cloud-based backups. Do not reboot the device while the update is in progress. Do keep the phone connected to a battery charger during the whole process. Device screen may blank out during the update process; you may waken the display by a short press on the power key to monitor the progress.

For detailed instructions on updating software, read our help article in Zendesk:

Notification concerning apps from Open Repos

  • If you use Phonehook or Callrecorder from OpenRepos, uninstall it before upgrading
  • If you use oFono from OpenRepos, revert to the official oFono before upgrading
  • If you use Patchmanager, revert all applied patches before upgrading.

About SD cards

  • Encrypted cards must be unlocked by the user to make them available for Sailfish applications.
  • Non-encrypted cards are mounted automatically when the device is turned on.
  • Encrypted cards can be formatted only when they are locked. Formatting removes the encryption in this case (the card becomes unencrypted and unmounted). You can then format it again with the option to encrypt, if needed.

Known issues

  • Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances
  • Some Facebook services (syncing FB events to calendar; uploading pictures to FB from gallery) do not work (independent of your OS release) due to some changes at the FB end.
  • Light ambience concept of Sailfish 3 needs polishing and tuning up. There are still issues with the colours of different objects when using the ambiences that have light background colours.
  • Disabling a calendar account does not necessarily prevent the appointments from alerting.
  • The chacha20-poly1305 cipher is not currently working, which is often chosen for SSH. It has been disabled in the sshd configuration file, but if you have manually modified it then it will not automatically update. You can ssh into your device using ’ssh -c aes128-ctr‘ and check the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file against its ‚rpmnew‘ version if present.

Known issues specific to Xperia X

  • Not implemented features: NFC, fingerprint detection, FM radio, double-tap, step counter
  • Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Turn the Flight mode on and off to reset the network setup. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has often helped. See our support article.
  • Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The top most item is not necessarily the one that can serve you (still valid with most SIM cards)
  • [camera] Force autofocus mode for photos, and continuous for video. After this, camera focus is still not ideal – as the camera stays out of focus when it starts until you either tap or try to take a shot – but the pictures seem to be better focused now
  • Xperia X does not power up when alarm time has elapsed
  • Bluetooth: problems with some car equipment, some audio devices and computers may appear
  • Loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted very high
  • Not all SD cards are recognised and mounted.

Known issues specific to Xperia XA2

  • Not implemented features: NFC, fingerprint detection, FM radio, double-tap
  • Battery drain high when WiFi on
  • Bluetooth: there are problems in connecting to some peripheral devices
  • XA2 does not power up when alarm time has elapsed
  • Display blanking is unstable during phonecalls or alarms (due to proximity sensor). Quick triple-tap on Power button in the problem situation helps.
  • Flashing Sailfish X to XA2 might still fail (so far seen to happen on Ubuntu 18.04 when using USB3 port). Please read this article.
  • Mobile data doesn’t work with with certain SIM/operator on most Android apps
  • WLAN does not work on channel 13
  • There are two working versions of vendor binaries: v16 and v17B. Both can be used.

Known issues specific to Gemini PDA

  • Gemini Screenshoot Button Fn + X does not work
  • Not possible to answer calls when Gemini is closed with side button
  • Bluetooth does not work well
  • Alarm not working
  • Many standard Sailfish Apps do not work in Landscape mode.
