Changelog

The detailed changelog is kept here

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 the 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, read our help article in Zendesk.

NOTE 1: Sailfish OS does not support downgrading. Never try to downgrade the OS as this would break your device.

NOTE 2: After downloading an update and selecting "Install" in the pulley menu, the device runs a restart first. In case of a device with the user-space encrypted, please note that you will need to type the security code before the actual installation can start.

Notification concerning apps from Open Repos

  • If you use SystemDataScope or collectd (see here), remove them. Having them installed will lead into update failure where Internet connections may be broken. See TJC-226291. Upgrading collectd to the latest version from 2020-05-05 may help (no guarantees)
  • If you use Defender, remove it as it will probably prevent your Xperia 10 (at least) from booting up or causes a conflict with the encryption. See this, please.
  • If you use Aliendalvik Control from OpenRepos, first upgrade it to version 9.2
  • 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. Patchmanager 3 is claimed to be "OS update friendly" but we have no more information on this.

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 - generic

  • The Sailfish implementation of NextCloud cloud service has still a number of problems in it.
  • Assisted location services of Mozilla stop working from March 1st. On the positive side, we have been able to speed up getting the location fix.
  • VPN does not work in case of Android apps
  • Sailfish can connect Bluetooth Low Energy devices now. However, Android apps cannot use peripheral devices via Bluetooth - other than for playback of the sound. Therefore smartwatches, for instance, cannot be controlled from Android apps
  • Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may fail in some circumstances
  • In the case of many recent device models, clock alarms (RTC alarms) may not be functional after turning the device off. Please test this feature before using for a real need.

Known issues to Android App Support 8.1 - Xperia 10 & Xperia XA2

  • The alert of incoming WhatsApp calls does not work as intended if the display is locked and black. Then only the ringing tone is played but there is no visual indication.
  • Android apps cannot use peripheral devices via Bluetooth - other than for playback of the sound. Therefore smartwatches, for instance, cannot be controlled from Android apps.
  • The voice of an incoming call is not automatically routed to a wired headset. However, if the user directs the voice to the HF speaker first and then back to the headset, the voice can be heard at the headset.
  • VPN does not work in case of Android apps

Known issues specific to Xperia X

  • Not implemented features: FM radio, double-tap wakeup, step counter, RTC Alarms
  • 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.
  • Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use an automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The topmost 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 you try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now
  • Bluetooth: problems with some car equipment, some audio devices and computers may appear
  • The loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted very high
  • Not all SD cards are recognized and mounted.

Known issues specific to Xperia XA2

  • Not implemented features: FM radio, double-tap wakeup, RTC Alarms
  • Bluetooth: there are problems in connecting to some peripheral devices
  • XA2 does not power up when alarm time has elapsed
  • Flashing Sailfish X to XA2 might still fail (so far seen to happen on Ubuntu 18.04 when using USB3 port). Please read this article.
  • With v17B Sony vendor image we observed a decrease in the perceived signal strength of the 5GHz WLAN access points (investigations ongoing). Version v16 may work better in this respect. Therefore we would not recommend flashing v17B for the time being if you use WLAN networks in the 5GHz band. You can reflash the vendor image of your choice by following the instructions in here.

Known issues specific to Xperia 10

  • Features not yet implemented: FM radio, double-tap wakeup, support for dual-lens camera, RTC Alarms.
  • Rarely, audio playback and sensors (display rotation) may stop working. If this happens, please restart the device
  • In some cases, the acceptance of the PIN code of a SIM card may take up to 5...20 seconds
  • During the decryption of user data in device start-up, there is a period of 10-20 seconds such that the display is black
  • White balance and HDR (of the camera) do not work.

Known issues specific to Jolla Tablet

  • There is no progress bar during the installation phase of OS upgrades. This makes it difficult to follow if it makes progress or not. However, if there are no problems the device will restart itself in the end - please wait patiently. If you feel that you have waited enough, wait for yet another 20 minutes before you turn off the device to allow some more time for it to complete the job. Interrupting too early may break the tablet.

Known issues specific to Gemini PDA

  • Features not yet implemented: double-tap wakeup, RTC Alarms
  • Gemini Screenshot Button Fn + X does not work
  • Not possible to answer calls when Gemini is closed with side button
  • Some 3rd party apps have issues in Landscape mode.

From a first glance update went smoothly. Already added my Nextcloud account, it takes ages however 'Setting up Nexctloud accout' after you accept die dialogue.

One question comes into my mind: Since Nextcloud account now synchronises Calendars and Contacts should I remove the existing Accounts for CalDav/CardDav accounts?

How to solve "No network connectivity"

On my XA2 H4113, update via GUI showed an error message that the update failed at this time, and that I should retry later. After a reset, I had no network connectivity. Here's how I recovered.

Recovery via Developer mode

  1. Connect via USB to a Linux notebook and enable Developer mode
  2. Check your IP address(es), and SSH into the device from the Linux machine

  3. Share network access via the Linux machine, over the USB cable, from Sailfish:

    • As root on the Linux machine
      • iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o enp0s31f6 -s 192.168.2.10/24 -j MASQUERADE (check your device name and substitute enp0s31f6 for the network link you use),
      • sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

    • As root on the phone:

      • rm /etc/resolv.conf
      • echo 'nameserver 1.1.1.1' >> /etc/resolv.conf

      • route to check if you have default gateway configured

        Destination  Gateway      Genmask        Flags Metric Ref  Use Iface
default      192.168.2.7  0.0.0.0        UG    0      0    0 rndis0
192.168.2.0  *            255.255.255.0  U     0      0    0 rndis0

        make sure you have line with default in Destination column. Gateway IP there is the IP of your computer (in this case is 192.168.12.2.7).

        If line is missing use route add default gw LINUX_MACHINE_IP to add it. If needed, you may figure out LINUX_MACHINE_IP from output of netstat -an | grep ':22.*ESTABLISHED'

  4. The handset has network again, update from CLI (SSH worked for me):
    • ssu re 3.3.0.16
    • version --dup
    • reboot via the phone's GUI
  5. Wow, green text in e-mails, yay! :)

Extra info

After a failed update, connman was broken:

[root@Sailfish ~]# systemctl status connman
● connman.service - Connection service
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/connman.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)
  Drop-In: /lib/systemd/system/connman.service.d

Apr 03 12:15:36 Sailfish systemd[1]: connman.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

No extra details were available in the journal, sorry.

Post-Mortem

I see that the release notes now point to the collectd package from OpenRepos being the culprit. I can confirm that I had it installed.

@jkt Can you elaborate more on the commands? I am not getting my connection through to the phone. The "enp0s31fe" is the network adapter on the linux machine. with "ifconfig" I found my adapter name and replaced it. My Xperia 10 has the IP "192.168.2.15", so I replaced your "192.168.10/24".

In your echo command there seems to be a ' too much or one missing. Can you correct that? How can I check for working connection, because the download after "version --dup" fails.

I think it's supposed to be echo 'nameserver 1.1.1.1' >> /etc/resolv.conf but I didn't test that.

Also, serious kudos to posting the repair steps so quickly! I was in such a hurry that I reflashed my phone instead of bothering to actually notice your answer! Oh well, now I get to enjoy a fresh device experience at least :)

Good job !
Worked with my Xperia H4493, just two things:
Need to forward:
echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.0/24 -o wlp2s0 -j MASQUERADE
Where:
192.168.2.0/24 is the network of the phone
wlp2s0 is the network where is the connection to Internet (WIFI for my side)

On the phone:
Avoid the graphic message to connect to internet from SIM1, SIM2 or WLAN (do nothing), you will see an increment of % in upgrade.

Thank's, you saved my phone.... ;-)

@manu007 yep, that works. Here is also a source if anyone needs more help: https://together.jolla.com/question/58975/network-sharing-from-pc-to-phone-answered/

* If the Sailfish OS upgrade fails mid-way, and on reboot connectivity is broken *

You can try these steps:

If you don't have zypper installed, you should install it now to be able to recover. If you are upgrading from 3.2.1.20 you can download these rpms:

https://releases.jolla.com/releases/3.2.1.20/jolla/armv7hl//core/armv7hl/augeas-libs-1.6.0+git1-1.2.9.jolla.armv7hl.rpm

https://releases.jolla.com/releases/3.2.1.20/jolla/armv7hl//core/armv7hl/zypper-1.14.6+git4-1.4.1.jolla.armv7hl.rpm

and then moving them into your phone via SD-Card, USB OTG or whatever. Then you can install them via a file manager. Install first augeas-libs then zypper.

Once they are installed, you should lock them since those packages weren't present before and thus the updated versions from 3.3.0.x weren't downloaded previously:

devel-su zypper addlock augeas-libs
devel-su zypper addlock zypper

Now, to actually recover you should follow these steps:

devel-su
mv /var/cache/zypp /var/cache/zypp-old
ln -s /home/.pk-zypp-dist-upgrade-cache /var/cache/zypp
zypper dup

If there are repositories which are failing due to missing connectivity, you can safely ignore them (by pressing 'i'). Let the update continue, if there are file conflicts let it continue too. The important thing here is to restore connectivity to finish the upgrade later.

Once it finished, restore the real zypp cache

rm /var/cache/zypp
rm -f /etc/zypp/locks
mv /var/cache/zypp-old /var/cache/zypp

...and reboot:

reboot

You should have most of the upgrade installed, connman should now work and connectivity should be restored.

Finish the upgrade with the following commands:

ssu re 3.3.0.14
version --dup

Thanks a lot, worked like a charm!

I tried to simplify this a bit; I did not have zypperinstalled before, and I was too lazy to yank out the SD card. Developer mode access via SSH over the IP-over-USB-gadget cable worked, and in the end I did not have to install anything manually -- just triggering the update via CLI did the trick: https://together.jolla.com/question/222221/release-notes-330-rokua/?answer=224345#post-id-224345

@g7 Installing zypper gives me an error ("Problem installing Zypper"). I am stuck. Any idea? Other dependencies I am missing? Phone is a Xperia 10

@Spark: have you installed augeas-libs first ? From which release are you upgrading? 3.2.1?

g7 ( 2020-04-03 17:13:33 +0200 )edit

@g7 yes and yes.

Troublemaker: AlienDalvik Control from Openrepos. After removing it, I could start AlienDalvik again.

Device: Xperia 10 Dual-SIM (Non-Plus!)

Same here with XA2 dual sim.

Can't confirm. I wanted to test this, so I left mine installed, and Everything Just Worked (TM). XA2 Ultra here, 3.2.1 > 3.3.0

Direc ( 2020-04-03 09:17:17 +0200 )edit

I had AlienDalvik Control installed over the update to 3.3.0. After update I couldn't start AlienDalvik at all. I removed AlienDalvik Control, tried re-installing Android support from store, no help starting. Then I manually run (as root) systemctl restart aliendalvik and got android support back working. Using Xperia XA2 dual sim.

There's a fix from @coderus for AD control. Update AD control before updating SailfishOS.

You can also update the "Aliendalvik Control" app from OpenRepos after the system upgrade to fix this.

The release removes the possibility to open the Android settings via Settings > Apps > [Any Android App] > Open Android settings > Back button > Open the settings app from Home Screen.

Please re-add the possibility to open these settings, for example by adding a new button in Settings > Android App Support.

+1 for noticing. Another hack to reach the Android settings is installing "simple app manager" from fdroid as Leszek Lesner pointed out in this video: https://youtu.be/6Amrr766crc (at 4:10 min).

Open the app, press "+" and add "settings" to the app menu. Now you have access to the android settings through this app.

Spark ( 2020-04-04 14:31:43 +0200 )edit

Yes indeed. That has changed. Don't know yet if this was intentional or not. To be checked.

jovirkku ( 2020-04-06 12:14:12 +0200 )edit

@Spark The app mentioned in the video is Simple App Launcher, not Simple App Manager.

Attention: don't update your Xperia X yet. It seems updating breaks all communications on the device: mobile network, Wifi, bluetooth.

Someone has updated 2 devices Xperia X without flaws. His wife would already have killed him. :-D

Fingerprint recognition still not working on my XA2 H3113 where I flashed over Android 9, even though a similar issue is documented as solved: https://together.jolla.com/question/216242/xa2-10-fingerprint-scanner-not-working-dual-sim/

Have even reset back to 3.2 and updated again to 3.3 on a clean slate, but no luck… :-/

Yes, and even the battery consumption is not fixed so I"m wondering what did jolla fix ...

mousse04 ( 2020-04-05 00:07:36 +0200 )edit

One positive report here. I have XA2 Dual SIM. Fingerprint sensor works great. My battery often last 4 days. I don't use Android apps for many months.

Fixed the fingerprint feature on all XA2 devices in OS update 3.3.0.16. There was a problem with devices having Android 9 baseband and the "ET" type of fingerprint sensor.

The Fingerprint feature does not work for me on my XA2 Plus (OS 3.3.0.16). When attempting to set a fingerprint I constantly get a message that I need to clean the Fingerprint sensor... Well cleaning it does not resolve the issue.

Android apps can no longer load any files or pictures with the "Open dialog" after the update. This also applies to attachments to messengers and email. Only "share with" is possible and this leads to an endless loop that can only be interrupted by the on / off switch.

Forgotten device: XA2 dual SIM

Playing audio files in the default browser is distorted with Sailfish 3.3. For example, the OGG file at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clair_de_lune_(Debussy)#3._Clair_de_lune_(Moonlight).

But same thing happens for MP3s, wave files, etc. I've tried both 44.1kHz and 48kHz samples.

Audio playing is fine for videos though…

Can reproduce (Jolla phone). For me, this is a no-go bug, definitely. Other browser regressions introduced with Nuuksio still not fixed.

objectifnul ( 2020-04-05 01:54:57 +0200 )edit

I see this behavior only when using the player in wikipedia, opening the ogg-file and playing it - still in the browser! - it works fine.

Sebix ( 2020-04-05 10:40:05 +0200 )edit

Soundcloud.com is also not working (J1)

jello ( 2020-04-06 10:42:22 +0200 )edit

Funny ... It seems the problem is somehow related to wikimedia embedded player. If you klick on the song name and open ogg file itself (still in the browsers) it plays correctly.

Valentin ( 2020-04-06 11:22:28 +0200 )edit

Have reverted to 3.2, so can't test anymore, but this happened for me on other sites as well, including some that had no embedded players, only links to WAV or MP3 files.

There now seems to be a rather annoying problem getting back to an Android app that opened another Android app.

For example if you tap a link in Discord and Firefox opens a new tab to show the linked page, you cannot get back to Discord until you close the entirety of Firefox. If you try to, the OS will immediately switch you back to firefox, which may not even be showing the page anymore, if you closed the tab already.

In this example, to be able to look at Discord again, you have to close Firefox, then switch to discord, and then you can launch Firefox again without making it interfere with Discord. Until you open the next link in Discord, of course.

Am I crazy, or is this happening to others too? This is on the XA2. Any workarounds?

Yeah, getting the same sort if problem on my xa2. On a messaging app if i try to attach a file or send a photo through it, it opens the file manager or camera app seperately, won't let me attach anything and takes several attempts to exit either of the apps. Probably going to downgrade when i get the chance

ziggystan ( 2020-04-30 12:20:04 +0200 )edit

can confirm. h4113. very annoying. had these errors after a fresh install after factory reset.

samsy ( 2020-04-30 14:00:17 +0200 )edit

Did that still happen on a fresh install to 3.3.0.16? Possibly only way round it for now is downgrade?

ziggystan ( 2020-04-30 14:13:26 +0200 )edit

I can confirm. I notice the same behaviour on xperia 10 (i4113). I followed the normal upgrade path, A fresh install is probably not a solution?
