From last week I started noticing that whenever I click photos nothing happens same with the video. Sometimes I can not even see the click button. The apps started crashing suddenly. My device memory was about 65%, so I thought this could be btrfs balance problem, but to balance it how do I open terminal? Because everytime I opened it, it crashed or took long time to respond. So I thought only factory reset is the way ahead and when I tried to create backup on memory card (fresh 32gb) it says “oops problem with backup”. With a heavy heart I reset my phone (losing all the contacts, messages and notes) and the funny thing is now I see the device has gone a year back to Vaarainjarvi. Seriously?? Now I updated to Yliaavanlampi and this stupid phone in hand showing 6.2 gb memory used out of 13.7 with just 10 apps installed and 4 photos taken. No offence! But I am beginning to think that buying jolla was worst decision. Not to mention the headache of restoring app registry several times in a week. Can somebody assure me this won't be the case in future after this reset? Here are my specific questions even after reset-
Why 6.2 gb memory used even After reset?
Whenever I go to terminal type devel-su or just su it asks for password and when try to enter it takes no entries at all.
Well, it seems to be the BTRFS issue, so are you able to access the termnial now?
Regarding your first question: It is possible that old backups (which are even not shown in the UI) are taking your disk space, since there was such a bug in early releases. To delete this possible backups do the following:
It is also normal that your phone 'reinstalled' such an old Sailfish version by reseting the phone... But IF you were running Sailfish OS 2.0 (IIRC it was since 1.1.9.x) your Jolla should have been updated the snapshot and you should get SFOS 2.0 after using recovery/resetting it. So which version were you using before reseting your phone?

Also when I factory reset it for the first time I found that only sailfish apps (like contacts, phone, notes) lost their data and android apps remained as they were earlier. Then I had to factory reset it again to wipe everything. Now I just cleared the backup with utilities even rebuilt app registry, but no luck. Does that mean after upgrading to saimaa again, I'll have 5 gb or so space actually left for usage?
