The same for JollaC with factory OS version (2.0.2.43). I live in a reinforced concrete building, in the ground floor, so the cellular signal is not always strong, varies over the time and in different places of the apartment. With my previous phone, Nokia 603, when it used to lose the 3G signal, it switched to 2G after couple of seconds. Now, when JollaC loses 4G, while checking emails or using web browser, it often loses all GSM connection, even 2G, in spite it is sufficient everywhere. Only phone restart helps. I am not always aware of this connection issue, so I have missed important calls and sms messages.
I do not know is this particularly the same issue as in the topic of this post, but I tried to avoid duplicate posts, so I wrote here. At the moment I have no time to trace debugging information, as I am not so much skilled in Linux command line, so it will take considerable amount of time to do it.
I consider this a big flaw of a phone, which should be fluently working on daily tasks, without paying much attention to the working internals. I like the Sailfish interface a lot, and small missing usability things which would be great if implemented - do not bother me. But the unreliable connection is a serious flaw, and I start considering about choosing a different phone, no matter how much I apreciate the Sailfish OS idea, as I use only one phone device, and to opt for two - one for daily tasks and other for leisure hobby is nor for me.
EDIT. While this issue happens I do not use WLAN, only mobile data connection. And, checked just now – enabling and disabling flight mode also restores connection, no need to restart the phone.
EDIT.2. Just to add, while the issue happened and phone missed calls and messages, the phone was not completely out of cellular network coverage, it must had remained partially visible to network provider, as the persons who had called me, said later, that to them my phone was giving usual sound of phone being called, but I never heard the call, neither my phone registered missed calls. Allso the messages which weren't received – they dissapeared, but were not kept at provider to be delivered later, as it usually happens, when the phone is turned off.
Never, I have always used to kill it myself after usage. BTW could the problem be somehow related to this one?
lakutalo ( 2016-01-30 12:05:35 +0300 )editYes, I have this bug too. I posted a message about that here: https://together.jolla.com/question/126892/release-notes-201taalojarvi-early-access/?answer=128213#post-id-128213
Renault ( 2016-01-31 17:12:14 +0300 )editYes, this has been the biggest issue for me on v2.0.1.7 (and now 2.0.1.11) which I have observed independently on two devices, on different providers (Czech, German) and on different locations (countries). So it seems that this bug should be provider or device independent.
As a workaround, I switch to use 3G only, as it happens on 4G all the time. Switching to 3G doesn't solve the problem (it still happens occasionally), but minimizes the occurrence significantly.
nodevel ( 2016-04-01 10:51:06 +0300 )editThat was seriously fast testing. Too bad the bug is still there.
raketti ( 2016-04-28 16:38:52 +0300 )editAnd posting bugs into the release notes is a bad habit of people. No-one can track that properly.
