JP1: bad Wifi connection on 5GHz
asked 2019-06-23 23:04:28 +0200
Starting with 3.0.3 I saw masses of Wifi connection errors. That was with 5Ghz Wifi enabled at the access point. I read about problems with 5Ghz on XA2 devices, so I disabled 5Ghz at my Fritzbox, and the errors are gone! So it's not just a problem for some Sony devices, but also for plain Jolla (JP-1301) phones! That's why I started a new thread for this, even if it might look as any duplicate. And: errors happen for native Sailfish apps too (like the email app), not just Android apps!
Well... JP1 has no 5 GHz at all. You must mean another phone.

My XA2 is a downright mess in this regard.
