I'm interested in buying an Xperia X and would like to know if Sailfish X has any bug or some feature does not work well.
I read that Sailfish OS (from Jolla phones) works best even on an Intex Aqua Fish, is it true?
Does it deserve to buy an Xperia X or should I wait?

I would like to give my list of issues/wishes as a user of an XA2:
exiting flight mode requires a reboot for some features to work again
time triggered silent & night modes missing regarding sounds and display
Otherwise the look&feel is great, the swiping gestures, too. Battery life is good even with GPS and 4G/LTE activated. Nice apps from Jolla store and OpenRepos - I am hardly missing anything. Well, a speed trap warning app, but that‘s about it.

Here another bug: AAC stream radios don't play on sony xperia x (sailfish x 2.2.1.18) https://together.jolla.com/question/138605/bug-21123-jollac-aac-stream-problems-now-crash-of-mp/ https://together.jolla.com/question/174978/xperiax-allradio-wont-play-an-aac-stream/

I can confirm that compass is working in 2.2.1, tested with "Orienteering Compass" from Jolla Store.

Audio recording volume is extremely low, in both Android (e.g. WhatsApp voice messages) and native (Recorder, from Jolla Store) applications. This was previously reported here: https://together.jolla.com/question/182455/sailfishx-recorded-audio-volume-low/
Voice volume during calls is apparently fine, very clear and definitely loud enough, so it's not a HW but a SW issue, and not even across the whole system (since calls are fine).
I would edit the wiki, but don't have enough karma myself.

Well, this is not exactly answering your question regarding bugs in sailfish X, but i'd like to encourage you to simply dive in.
I just replaced my jolla 1 by a xperia X with sailfish X. It's terriffic! I really love it.
I dont believe sailfish will be totally free of bugs for quite some time so the best time for joining is jus now! If you are keen of that upcoming XA2, waiting for it may be worth it. If not: Just get your device, get your sailfish X and dive in!

Interesting thread! After going through this and other bugs threads unluckily it seems to me that Sailfish on the Xperia is more a tinkerers phone than a daily driver. Stable system and reliable network connection, flawless roaming and Whatsapp support are some of the fundamentals for me which simply need to work - after all I am also using my phone at work where I need those things. I was seriously considering giving Sailfish OS a try, but all the open bugs and issues kind of scared me away. I don't feel the need to make my life more difficult as it already is ;) So my question to all the sailors here: Do you use Sailfish X at the current state as your daily driver? Would you still recommend it to me?
As far I am concerned, it is my daily phone ! I use it for GPS, I use it to play some game like coc ... I phone with it, in my car trhough BT,, I manage my calendar ... It is true that I problably close my eyes on some problem. Contact one is very annoying but I can live with it ... I can not launch Diggy game ... ok, I play less during days ... And problems ? I got one where I was enforced to remove completely SOFS ( but I saw a recent post with a quicker solution). But it was the only one ... trhough 4 months of intense use. Moreother, I got Intex ( before the glass broke !) and the camera was very poor ... Now, I can take a picture without asking my self if I will be able to show it. I am really happy about it.
Cube ( 2018-05-17 16:01:45 +0300 )editAfter solving the Bluetooth car connection issue I switched to the Xperia finally some weeks ago and I am more than happy with it. At least in my case I don't have the impression that network, roaming or anything else isn't stable. I use it as my primary phone and don't have serious problems which couldn't be solved. Nothing is setting back my life and after the next update to SFOS 2.2 I will prepare a Dual Sim Xperia for my wife as well. So don't be worried about all the reported bugs.
Only WhatsApp I can't comment since I am refusing this company in general ;).
vision ( 2018-05-18 00:20:50 +0300 )editThis thread has a lot of "opinions mistaken for bugs". For example: tap to wake is not a Sailfish OS option. It's not even an Android Native option. It's just a feature of the Sony android ROM. I have no SD card issues ever, and I tried multiple Sd cards. But SD-card incompatibilities exist on all brands of hardware. It sucks, maybe it is a bug in the phone, but could also be the card. Just buy a different card. I had to do that when switching photo camera brands(Lexar cards do not work great in my Olympus).
The email client lags are also fixed. The Email client seems a lot more reliable since the latest Sailfish version(on previous versions I had to reboot the phone now and then to get it working again). I heavily use multiple Exchange accounts, and although the internal client is a bit limited it works fine for contacts and native calendar. For more advanced features i use the android Nine app. I've always used that on Android as well, because the native android email clients have also limited functionality compared to Nine.
Camera is working fine nowadays. Even focusing. No, it's not as good as current flagship phone models and it isn't even as good as Xperia X on android. But it is working good enough, and the quality is decent, so that is not a bug.
VPN is also fine. And it did work fine for me for a long time, even when routing all traffic over the VPN. Xperia not powering up on alarm: big deal. :) A lot of the other issues are fixed.
The things that are remaining for me: - Default browser slow and not working all to well --> True, it should really be improved. But is it a big deal? Just install alternative browser from openrepo's. Of install a good android browser, firefox or opera for example. - Bluetooth --> Bluetooth audio/calls does work fine with my audio devices and carkit. But no contact sync.
Xperia X is a great phone, and it's even better with Sailfish OS on it. It can definitively be used a a daily driver.

I have noticed that in People app, the links will work for a while but soon they all are not linked. If it is done again, it is the same. This I haven't found at J1 or Jolla C.
Also I have problems with gps. In settings at location if I choose some else than only gps, every app or map show that I'm in center of Helsinki. I live about 200km from there. (Saunalahti is my service provider) But if I'm connected to wifi it finds fast and close.
Only gps it will take sometimes about 30 minutes to find. Sometimes it is faster. And sometimes it also shows that I'm in Helsinki.
What are "people app links", I am not sure I understand. At least for me all my contacts are correct.
For me GPS actually locks faster than on sbj1, and it is more accurate also I think. No surprise there as it is 4 years old HW :) I use the "accurate positioning" setting which I think means AGPS.
juiceme ( 2017-11-18 17:09:08 +0300 )editOkay, if that happens then it certainly is some kind of bug.
I have not seen that on any of my devices, when somebody on my contact list calls or texts me it always is shown with the caller name.
Do you have something special in your contacts, many thousand of named contacts or something like that?

I found the following issues so far. Trying not to double the points others already mentionned.
1) Unsharp pictures, especially in lowlight. hte preview on the Xperia screen looks good, but the photo taken is blury and less sharp than the preview. Big disappointment
2) Shutter sound and shutter action not syncron, esp. with flash
3) white balance with flash way too yellowish
4) wakin the screen takes 0,5s too long. expect a more snappy behaviour. with button as well as with douple tap
5) speaker volume (during calls on loudspeaker) way too low
6) sometimes laggy behaviour, cant say yet in which situations exactly, will have a more close look on this one when it exactly happens. EDIT: Happened during using firefox, scrolling a news webpage
BTW: These points I like about SFOS-X: - brilliant screen - hardware that feels worthy and stable - ability to use SFOS on some piece of fast hardware that doesnt feel outdated - no overheating/background process overload issues so far -superb word prediction, Android support
-just my 5cents-

Personally the main issue is that my SD card isn't recognized. The other little thing is that it can't load my SIM card on the fly, I need to reboot.
Apart from that and what's listed by Jolla, works quite well for me. If you find a cheap second hand Xperia X in good shape, it worth it.
Sthocs ( 2017-10-25 19:35:49 +0300 )editJust reformat your SD card to FAT32 and you're good to go! This is what I did with my 64GB SDHC card now it is working perfectly.

Please guys, click on the link, I know which cards SFOS is supposed to support... The card is working in the J1, formatted in VFAT.
