Jolla "Sailfish" falling apart [answered]
asked 2015-08-29 15:01:58 +0300
For about 2 weeks now, I can not seem to change settings on my Jolla. I tried to turn on the Flight Mode, it said the processes are going to be shut down, but the mode did not get activated. When it finally did, the picture of an aircraft came on but the phone was not disconnected. Since that I have had the aircraft on the phone. Calling, using e-mail and taking pictures worked first, but the functionality is disappearing more and more - no contacts, no mail accounts, no pictures in the gallery ( the filemanager shows them ).... Everything takes ages to start - it at all.
Is there something I can try?
sounds like a weird behavior. Have you tried resetting the device?

Try with a btrfs balance: https://together.jolla.com/question/30822/root-and-home-disks-full-and-causing-various-problems/

Do a balance regularly to avoid this type of problems. The latest SailfishOS releases do it every Tuesday morning at 3:00 AM. You need to have a charger connected for it to start, though.
