Changelog

For detailed changelog, see: https://together.jolla.com/question/168138/changelog-212kiiminkijoki/

Updating your device

Your device must be connected to the Internet and signed in to 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 1" devices (product name "Jolla" in Settings > About product).

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

  • If you use Phonehook from OpenRepos, uninstall it before upgrading.
  • If you use oFono from OpenRepos, revert to the official oFono before upgrading (or else you may face problems with LTE etc.).
  • If you have Call Recorder from Openrepos installed, uninstall it before the upgrade.
  • If you use Patchmanager, revert all applied patches before upgrading.

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, visit Zendesk: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201836347

Known issues

  • VPN implementation is still at beta level.
  • Bluetooth pairing may occasionally fail (on Jolla Tablet, in particular), or turning Bluetooth ON may fail. In such cases it is best to restart the Jolla device and try again.
  • Bluetooth pairing may fail with some car models especially in case of Jolla C devices. Sometimes synchronizing the phonebook may fail, too.
  • Reliance Jio SIM cards (India) work in SIM slot #2 only according to some reports. We are not aware of similar issues in other networks.

@jovirkku - could you please add the size of the download, now and for future release announcements?, I may be in a minority, but I do not have WiFi at home and have limited data plans, so it would useful to know the size of the update, thanks.

TuringPhone really needs to be updated! The current version 2.0.4.14 is too old! Does Jolla give up updating TuringPhone?

I think the best option is to ask Jolla about that during meeting https://together.jolla.com/question/54157/sailfishos-open-source-collaboration-meeting-planning/

It's not Jolla, but Turing who is responsible for keeping their phone up to date, so you should complain to Turing.

This is the first time I have issues with an update on my Jolla 1, where I don't have any hacks/openrepos stuff applied. It is stuck at 0% for obout 22 hours now. What should I do, wait some more time? Or force reboot by removing battery? Or something else?

@mister i would advise you to post a question for that, not an answer in the release notes. besides this just being the wrong place, only few people will see it here

misc11 ( 2017-10-15 13:14:55 +0300 )edit

It happened to me once, in the end I removed the battery and the device booted normally. Second update attempt worked without issue.

Sthocs ( 2017-10-16 13:37:23 +0300 )edit

Issues with Dual sim aquafish. 1. The Bluetooth gets connected to the car but does not work with Sim2. 2. On Bluetooth when one makes a call out using Sim1 as default the phone used sim2 instead and got billed for the call. 3. Weather display on the home screen does not connect to internet even restarting the phone does not help.

I will raise these as bugs later.

Upgrading to this version (from 2.0, I presume, I missed the discontinued 2.1 release) broke the WPA connections that I had configured for connman. There is now a UI to enter username and password, but it does not actually succeed to connect.

Remove the manually created configuration files, disable/enable WLAN, enter the login details for your network and it should work.

Sorry about this. There was entry for 2.1.1.26 for preventing it from offering downgrade when we halted the 2.1.1 roll out. Unfortunately that was also blocking the update notification now. This has now been fixed and you should be able to get 2.1.2.3.

On my JollaC updating initially failed twice after loading it (luckily I'm on a very fast Wifi connection at work) with "Sailfish OS could not be updated. Please try again later. Press [OK] to reboot." I noted that the display had switched off during the update process, and I set it not to switch off while the phone is connected to a charger. This time the update went through.

I also had this same issue with the previous OS update, and solved it the same way. Anyone else see this pretty strange problem?

it is a known problem with installed patches. i guess you have them too. if not, this would be kind of new. i have this issue every update. just search on tjc

misc11 ( 2017-10-11 21:24:12 +0300 )edit

It's always something that was installed via OpenRepos, be it patches, applications, libraries, etc. Sometimes it works on the first try, sometimes after a couple of tries, usually it doesn't and you have to update through the command line.

The "release to all" of SailfishOS 2.1.2.3 was a couple of days ago (2017-10-09), but checking manually under Settings > Sailfish OS updates still states "Up to date" on two Jolla 1 phones under 2.1.1.26!?!

While I could update at the command line, I wonder what is wrong here?

@nthn, fair enough. Let me phrase it this way then:

This is taking longer than expected (i.e. more than two days) and has not happened on any release before (as far as I remember).

When is SailfishOS 2.1.2.3 supposed to be available for all users (via the regular GUI way)?

Dear Jolla,

thank you for this update and to have bricked my Jolla 1 phone :(((((((

I have followed exactly the recommendations, unapply all patches, uninstalled CallRecorder. I had plenty of free space on the device and I updated from 2.0.1.11.

The update failed after a while saying that I should try later on, press the only displayed button, "OK", and my phone rebooted without reaching any usable state.

You're are really doing good these days, last update disappeared after a while and now the supposedly big update fixing many bugs is a big bug itself!

Thanks, most promising for Sailfish X.

All the best, Chris.

'without reaching any usable state' is vague enough to mean nothing at all. If you're looking for help, you could try to describe at which point it stops doing what it's supposed to do.

Except for the missing keyboards, everything went fine! A shame that Alien Dalvik did not get an Update again on JP1!

AFAIK (we need confirmation from official from within Jolla Oy) :

  • Because Alien dalvik relies on the bits present in the actual Kernel and libs, and upgraded (Kit-kat based) Alien Dalvik would require an Kit-kat compatible update kernel and drivers than what is currently availble on the Jolla. (On the other hand, there are a couple of other smartphone with similar or identical chipset that got a port of Kitkat, so somewhere Qualcomm must be in possession of an appropriate kernel/driver set).

  • Alien Dalvik is a commercial closed source product. And Jolla 1 is an old device. It might be that the licensing agreement between Jolla Oy and Myriad doesn't cover upgrades to Jolla 1 smartphone.
