Sipoonkorpi is mainly a bug fixing update, bringing in just a few new features. We've added Bulgarian language support and improved the handling of email folders. You can now create light ambiences, and respond to meeting invitations through Exchange and Google. We've also tuned up SD card encryption and protected critical Top Menu toggles with the security code.

Many thanks to you our active contributors for your feedback and proposals, again!

Changelog

For detailed changelog, see https://together.jolla.com/question/195733/changelog-301-sipoonkorpi/

For those porting Sailfish to other devices

We have applied some new kernel configuration options in Sailfish OS release 3.0.1. If you have ported Sailfish OS to some devices then you may need to apply the corresponding options to successfully use release 3.0.1 in yout target device.

  • Devices affected: All devices which do not have CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_CONNTRACK kernel config enabled
  • Changes needed: Enable CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_CONNTRACK kernel configuration, see this reference

Updating your device

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

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

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

Notification concerning apps from Open Repos

  • If you use Phonehook or Callrecorder from OpenRepos, uninstall it before upgrading
  • If you use oFono from OpenRepos, revert to the official oFono before upgrading
  • If you use Patchmanager, revert all applied patches before upgrading.

About SD cards

  • Encrypted cards must be unlocked by the user to make them available for Sailfish applications.
  • Non-encrypted cards are mounted automatically when the device is turned on.
  • Encrypted cards can be formatted only when they are locked. Formatting removes the encryption in this case (the card becomes unencrypted and unmounted). You can then format it again with the option to encrypt, if needed.

Known issues

  • An encrypted but unlocked SD card is not reachable via MTP/USB to/from a PC.
  • Due to the introduction of new firewall (see chapter "Connectivity") it may be that some of the incoming connections fail to work now with update 3.0.1. We are looking into fixing this.
  • Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances
  • Some Facebook services (syncing FB events to calendar; uploading pictures to FB from gallery) do not work (independent of your OS release) due to some changes at the FB end.
  • Light ambience concept of Sailfish 3 needs polishing and tuning up. There are still issues with the colours of different objects when using the ambiences that have light background colours.
  • Use of IPv6 iptables rules is limited due to a bug (to be fixed in 3.0.2)
  • Disabling a calendar account does not necessarily prevent the appointments from alerting.

Known issues specific to Xperia X

  • NFC not working
  • Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Turn the Flight mode on and off to reset the network setup. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has often helped. See our support article: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004283713
  • Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The top most item is not necessarily the one that can serve you (still valid with most SIM cards)
  • [camera] Force autofocus mode for photos, and continuous for video. After this, camera focus is still not ideal - as the camera stays out of focus when it starts until you either tap or try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now
  • Xperia X does not power up when alarm time has elapsed
  • Bluetooth: Still problems with car equipment, some audio devices and computers.
  • Sensors:
    • Not working: step counter, NFC
  • Waking up the device by double-tap does not work
  • Loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted high enough (but echo cancellation was added to the audio path in 2.1.4)
  • FM radio missing
  • Not all SD cards are recognised and mounted.

Known issues specific to Xperia XA2

  • Flashing Sailfish X to XA2 might still fail (so far seen to happen on Ubuntu 18.04 when using USB3 port). Please read https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360012031854
  • NFC not working
  • Fingerprint detection not working
  • Bluetooth: initial support only
  • FM radio not implemented
  • XA2 does not power up when alarm time has elapsed
  • Display blanking is unstable during phonecalls or alarms (due to proximity sensor).

What exactly do you mean by

Support added for reading NFC tags - initially limited to customer device

?

Can you please explain the "limited to customer device" a bit more?

It's good to see more updates, but the issues with car equipment are annoying. Guys do you ever plan to fix this or do I have to change back to Android? It really sucks and it's dangerous if you can't call hands free while driving... This issue exists since Xperia X got SFOS. I'm running out of patience.

Which issues? I had never any problems using my Jolla, Jolla C or Xperia XA2 in my Opel Astra.

Connections between my Jolla C and a couple of VWs have been consistently unreliable. Dual SIM HFP, A2DP - there are several threads about these.

DaveRo ( 2019-01-09 10:28:36 +0200 )edit

@balta there are numerous entries here on TJC mentioning problems with (car) BlueTooth equipment that worked (pre-2.0-ish). Every update seems to add devices to the problem list. As far as I understand, noone puts work into the bluez4 version of JP1 (and probably other devices) and bluez5 (used on more modern devices) is significantly different in design concepts, making it very difficult to support all features across all platforms with so many layers in-between (bluez, QT, hardware drivers, ...). I seriously hope they manage to at least upgrade all devices to bluez5 and get rid of much code ...

@balta: As @Maus already said, there are multiple reported issues. I for myself can not even pair my Xperia X with my Hyundai i40 navigation system. Every time I need to enter the pairing code the pairing instantly fails. With some systems it works (e.g. in a Ford Kuga I rented some days ago), but with many it doesn't pair.

And if it pairs there are other issues like bad sound quality, because of bad sound quality negotiations between the smartphone and the navigation system.

Armadillo ( 2019-01-09 11:07:38 +0200 )edit

I know about a lot of threads about that issue and I had some problems with VW car system as well. However: my wife has an iPhone and she has exactly the same problems. So maybe it's a problem with the car system and not with Sailfish?

Hello Sailfish friends. Just ine note. The regular update approach failed:

 devel-su
 ssu re 3.0.1.11
 version --dup
 reboot

The following approach was successful on my Intex Aqua Fish after the first one failed.

devel-su 
pkcon refresh 
pkcon -v update

Have fun with the light ambience, that is available now.

Why type 2.2.1.18 when this update is named 3.0.1.11 ? , probably why it failed or is this just an example?

'Light' ambience has been available since 3.0.0.5 / 3.0.0.8

The amendment has failed in the first attempt. The typo has only evolved slightly and still prevails in a new manifestation. Only two more digits till its done ;-)

Vieno ( 2019-01-08 23:25:00 +0200 )edit

Thank you @jsommer for sharing this. I had to upgrade that way since 2.0=>2.1, as I always got those dreaded "Could not determine size of update" messages from the GUI, version --dup told me that I could not install two identical packages of a hardware abstraction package at the same time and the information on the corresponding Zendesk page did not help at all.

Today, after successfully updating to 3.0.1, I decided to factory reset the device, because Email (well, the UI part at least, com.jolla.email.ui) refused to start (background services still worked well, as "new email" messages were shown).

Unfortunately, the phone stopped working after the factory reset while downloading some SFOS 1.1 version and refuses to boot from now on. The Zendesk recovery article "explicitly for Jolla 1" mentions Xperia phones and seems to be outdated for certain OSes. Bummer.

Maus ( 2019-01-09 10:19:22 +0200 )edit

I've bricked my Intex Aqua after updating from 3.0.0.5 -> 3.0.0.8 -> 3.0.1.11, I had to do reset to factory :( Actually I've done @coderus "Intex think it's Jolla C" and I'm going to update till my setting let it me to the last possible update. Then maybe I'll stop on 3.0.0.8, that update boots without problem.

I see that ICMP is disabled in the firewall now.

I use ping's in my home network to detect if my phone is connected to wifi, and then do some actions. That does not work anymore. How can I change the firewall settings to allow pinging the phone again ?

Check devel-su iptables -S for ICMP rules and just remove the corresponding rule with iptables -D .... if thats a rule that rejects somehting, or just add another exception to allow ICMP.

bomo ( 2019-01-12 15:03:22 +0200 )edit

Good catch; I just now realised that this is the case.

In my opinion it is fairly useless thing as a security measure to block ICMP, as arp anyway shows that the device is present.

To fix this, do "iptables -R connman-INPUT 4 -p icmp -j ACCEPT" as root

juiceme ( 2019-01-12 15:10:20 +0200 )edit

And as I now checked you can make the change permanent by editing the firewall rule file that blocks icmp; /etc/connman/firewall.d/10-block-icmp-firewall.conf

juiceme ( 2019-01-12 16:17:14 +0200 )edit

been there, done that, and it works. both INPUT and OUTPUT are set to ACCECPT. The 10-block-icmp-firewall.conf then contains these two lines for IPv4 : IPv4.INPUT.RULES = -p icmp -m icmp ! --icmp-type 8/0 -j ACCEPT and IPv4.OUTPUT.RULES = -p icmp -m icmp ! --icmp-type 0/0 -j ACCEPT

Bart S ( 2019-01-12 17:11:19 +0200 )edit

Yes, you need to edit those so that it contains;

IPv4.INPUT.RULES = -p icmp -j ACCEPT

IPv4.OUTPUT.RULES = -p icmp -j ACCEPT

While eagerly waiting for an update / fully functional OS for Xperia XA2 how has the phone easily slides onto hold / activates loudspeaker / adds second call / activates number pad bug been adressed?

I have understood this is a proximity sensor issue. What other causes, and more specifically, fixes for this issue are there?

At this rate as long as it is not addressed the Xperia XA2 isn't really usable.

Please do fix this.

Comments

The simplest workaround is simply to lock the phone screen with power key before putting the phone on your ear.

There is also a way to disable the proximity sensor, but that has concrete drawbacks.

(XA2, regression) Unstable tethering

After installing 3.0.1.11 on the XA2 (regular GUI update process), hotspot functionality seems to have regressed somewhat. Specifically, I'm noticing the following behaviour: when USB cable is connected and screen remains on (with "keep screen on when charging" being set), tethering works just fine, as before. However, if I enable hotspot whilst not charging and turn screen off, tethering remains up but my connection drops out every few minutes, periodically.

This feels like an issue with the hotspot not grabbing a wakelock/similar properly... I don't recall having any issues with tethering prior to this update (and I just got back after a visit abroad, which involved plenty of tethering). I haven't investigated the issue in-depth, but it seems like a problem that should be easy to reproduce.

Also, in general, do you want reports of regressions in an early-access update like this to be reported in answers, or as separate questions? In this case, and for future reference. (It'd be useful to mention explicitly how you want issues reported, perhaps).


Also, super minor point: the wording "3.0.1.11 to be released to Early Access subscribers (Jolla devices and Xperia X)" confuses me a bit: "Xperia X" is a specific model, so I was slightly surprised when I saw the update on my XA2. Either "Sailfish X devices" or "Xperia devices" or perhaps "Xperia X & XA2" would've been more easily understood, I think.

I have Xperia X and Xperia XA2 Plus both with 3.0.1.11 Since update to 3.0.1.11 USB Tethering with PC (Linux) works only when i have Development Tools (Development Modus) activated.

naalaa ( 2019-01-10 18:38:43 +0200 )edit

I suspect your problem has probably got something to do with how they added a new firewall (iptables) in this update and it's not really been configured for tethering just yet. The notes add that they've already got some known bugs related to it.

I would think regressions, other detailed observations regarding functionality and feature requests should preferably be reported as separate questions, tagged with the relevant update ID (e.g. 3.0.1 - leave the last digit away from the tag).

Thanks, goading, general complaints and blames should appear as answers or comments here, in the context of the release notes.

With 3.0.0 a security feature was partly introduced, that disabled access to toggles in Top menu if device is locked. I posted a question about that: https://together.jolla.com/question/193459/allow-top-menu-shortcuts-toggling-on-locked-device/

With 3.0.1 you made the changes more consistent, but now all toggles are disabled on locked device and I always have to unlock device now (except for torch toggle). I appreciate a consitent UI but I'd still be happy to have that behaviour configurable. I want to start VPN without unlocking device or enable/disable Wifi without unlocking. So my question above still persists.

Do you have plans to make this configurable?

New features and new (minor) bugs: The weather information on lockscreen does not update automatically if device is woken up. It's also visible if weather widget is turned off on notification screen (this should also turn off the info on lockscreen).

Other than that great update and works flawlessly on my Sony X.

2019-01-16 : 3.0.1.11 released as an OTA update to all subscribers (Jolla devices and Xperia X). Installable images for Xperia X and Xperia XA2 range of devices will be available at https://shop.jolla.com/downloads/ .

Still not available in the shop page the 3.0.1.11, the files downloaded are for the 3.0.0.8

Update: 3.0.1.11 is available

Correct. Also I don't know why they don't simply offer it as an OTA-update. I think it's going to be quite a hassle to update my SFOS via this route...

Do you know how updating will work? Do I have to completely reflash my XA2 with a new image? I would definitely like to avoid that.

@laubblaeser: we do offer the updates for XA2, too, as OTA updates, they have been available since yesterday. I just forgot to and "XA2" to my text in the beginning of the release notes. Sorry. Seek for updates in Settings > Sailfish OS updates.

@carmeloferso: the downloadable 3.0.1 images of X and XA2 will be available in an hour or so.
