Hello everyone,

3 Days ago I installed SFOS 3.2 on my XA2 Plus Dual Sim H4413.

Coming from:

Android 9 with the latest security patch. I followed every step in the instructions and installled 3.2 on my phone.

I noticed that the fingerprint sensor doenst work. (like in this thread: https://together.jolla.com/question/216242/xa2-fingerprint-scanner-not-working-dual-sim/)

Everything else worked. But soon I noticed that I have a huge battery drain. Tried different things, flight mode, 2G, 3G but without success.

I used Lighthouse to check the processes. I noticed two things:

  1. I have negative RAM or lets say more RAM then I should have. Is this normal?

  1. Android fingerprint process

When I check processes there is one that jumps from 0 to 43 to 80 percent cpu load every few seconds. Interestingly it is a process for the fingerprint as it seems.

I am new to the Sailfish world and would appreciate some help :)

It looks like there's a bug with fingerprint when flashing from Android 9, and it can also be related to the battery drain. Either you downgrade your phone to Android 8 and flash SFOS again, or you may wait for a fix from Jolla.

This could also explain the weird memory reading. I have the same phone as you, flashed from Android 8, and I have the correct memory reading.

Sometimes the upgrade is not finished correctly, try this:
as root (devel-su), execute:
pkcon refresh
version --dup
Then cold restart your device (power off, wait for a minute, then power ON).
From my side I use a H4493 (XA2 Plus dual SIM) and I noticied a battery drain i two cases:
1) When the WIFI is ON (between 2,5 to 3,5% by hour)
2) When the 3G/4G signal strength is low
Otherwise the battery consumption is +/- normal (between 0,8 and 1,8% by hour).

I did what Giacomo Di Giacomo said. I flashed back to Android 8. Then I flashed SFOS. Now the battery drain is normal and the fingerprint works properly. Even so you can flash from Android 9 to SFOS, it seems there are still some issues like in my case. The developers should address this and give at least a warning to people who want to flash from Android 9 to SFOS. Thanks for the help.
