Release date : 19.12.2014

Free space required: ~2 GB

 22.12.2014 Update: 1.1.1.27 now being rolled out for all our users

As you may have noticed, the rolling out of Vaarainjärvi was put on hold on the evening of 18.12.2014. At Jolla, we follow a process for staged releasing of software updates, allowing us to gather end user feedback right from the field before making it a mass public release.

This has allowed us to catch the device lock issue spotted by two users yesterday. We promptly put the release on hold and investigated the issue. At this point, considering the holiday season, we decided that it's best to remove the alphanumeric lock code feature from the release.

Our 'First Ones' and Update9 opt-in users have received a hotfix on 19.12.2014.

Existing update10 users, if you have enabled alphanumeric lock code in settings, consider switching it back to numeric, otherwise after accepting the hotfix you will have to stay with alphanumeric mode until Update 11.

The rest of our users will receive an OS update notification for 1.1.1.27 directly without the alphanumeric lock code feature.

Your patience and support fuels our dedication to provide you with a well-prepared release. The OOM handling by the SailfishOS has been significantly improved, thus allowing daily usage of the phone without major hiccups. We are now comfortable releasing update10 to all our users while we continue to work on other improvements.

This is a huge software update if you have not opted in for update9. Please ensure that you have ~2GB of free disk space before attempting to upgrade your Jolla. If connected to the internet, your Jolla should receive an OS update notification shortly.

As usual, before attempting to upgrade your Jolla,

Take a backup of your phone content and copy it to SD card
Clean up your phone from unnecessary data (old backups, downloaded content etc) before attempting to upgrade the software. This is to ensure that the software update has enough diskspace to complete its operation.
If your device is running software version lower than 1.0.4.20 and have WareHouse app installed (i.e you are using OpenRepos), disable all openrepo repositories

Do not reboot the device while the update is in progress. The 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.

Once the device has rebooted after a successful upgrade, Android runtime starts to update it's environment. Allow a couple of minutes for it to finish its stuff before taking the phone into regular use. Using the phone during this period can appear sluggish.

The release notes includes a combined summary of the highlights from update9 and 10.

The corresponding SDK release will be available on the 5th of January 2015. It will include the updated rpmvalidator which allows the new libraries to be used in Store as announced in the community meeting from 25th of November 2014.
Harbour testing team will start using the new rpmvalidator from 7th of January 2015 onwards (note that 6th of January 2015 is a public holiday in Finland).

Known issues

OS update process

Currently, checks on available disk space happens very late during the OS upgrade process and will fail in the installation phase if the disk space is low. Normally there should be an error note asking you to free some disk space and try again, but in some marginal cases it might not be shown. Should this happen, free some disk space and try to install the OS update again.
OS update may fail due to some other reasons too, for example it may have installed some packages from the new release and still have something left from the old. If the device can boot up, you can try to recover by doing the following. If not, you can attempt to recover the device using the recovery mode.
- Delete the file /home/nemo/.cache/store-client/os-info
- Stop the store-client process (for e.g. pkill store-client)
- Reopen Settings app, check for updates again and attempt to install the OS update again
We have also noted that if the OS update is attempted while there is long queue of installation of apps from the Store, the system may end up in mixed state (for e.g. select all the apps from startup wizard, and start the system update already while the apps are being installed).
- In such cases, the OS update appears to be stalled, however it is just waiting for the installations to complete before attempting to upgrade the OS. Just wait patiently, the worst thing to do here is to reboot the device!

Other issues

Audio stuttering has been observed in Android applications. We are aware of this issue and are still working on it. We will push out an update as soon as a fix is available.
Sometimes Messages and Phone app show black active covers.
calDAV and cardDAV services are in experimental stage. We have made some improvements with this update, however you may still face issues with certain service providers. Do report it in t.j.c. We'll take a look and try to sort it out.
At times, the presence status is as displayed offline even though the accounts are online. In such situations, the UI does not allow the status to be changed to online again.
Occasionally, certain hidden WiFi networks may not be displayed in scanned results.
Photos and videos deleted from Gallery may still remain visible in the Camera roll.
Deleting photo from Camera roll may also delete the previous photo. If camera reel's pulley menu has "Show details" greyed out - means the photo hasn't been indexed yet. Deleting photo in such state will result in previous photo deleted too. If you wait long enough (~10-15seconds) for 'Show details' to become active, only that photo will get deleted when you choose to.

Jolla, thank you for the Christmas gift ;)

Thank you very very much for this. "Sailfish OS updates" still tells me that i'm "up do date", but probably i should just wait :)

2k+ images used in a game and stored within /data/data/ will still be shown in gallery T_T

I am already on update 9 opt-in, can I get the update 10?

unlikeyou ( 2014-12-18 17:58:35 +0200 )edit

@bijjal i have some little questions: You told at the beginning "If your device is running software version lower than 1.0.4.20 and have WareHouse app installed (i.e you are using OpenRepos), disable all openrepo repositories before attempting to upgrade your device." Just to confirm what could happened with os 1.0.8.21 and the aptoide apps? is there something to take care? thanks in advanced for your answer

cemoi71 ( 2014-12-18 18:00:23 +0200 )edit

1.0.8.21. No update available on my Jolla...

"The First One" people will get the uppdate first, then uppdate 9 loaders and after that all the rest. (info from JollaSuomi-blog). Does anyone know how long it is going to take that rest of us will get the uppdate?

Jozo ( 2014-12-18 18:08:19 +0200 )edit

@Jozo: usually doesn't take more than a couple of hours for me to get the update.

hoho i think i will wait a little bit after the jolla server saturation. does jolla have a good insurance for the overheating of their server? @bijjal on how many servers works the os update? how many update request or device could it handle in parallel (if you have understand my question, is quite difficult for me)

well i guess i answered my question, this update is for everyone :) #thefirstone

madcheeze ( 2014-12-18 18:19:56 +0200 )edit

Apart from Android/Spotify now being unusable due to the known audio drop out bug this looks like a nice update.

njeiseck ( 2014-12-18 18:21:43 +0200 )edit

Does anybody see an update on the phone? I dont have it...

nix ( 2014-12-18 18:21:50 +0200 )edit

Can't wait to get hands on the newest update <3

Also, I had a problem with 1410 SDK: QTCreator not responding for 30s then working 5s, repeat. Running win7 64bit Intel e8500 ati hd4890. Hoping it will fix itself in next SDK :)

Mauris ( 2014-12-18 18:28:24 +0200 )edit

cemoi71, if you are running 1.0.8.21, just proceed to update your device without additional steps. Our servers auto-scale to handle the load to avoid saturation. We are rolling out the release in batches, first to first ones, next to update9 opt-in users and finally to rest of our users. During today, all should be able to update their devices.

bijjal ( 2014-12-18 18:28:49 +0200 )edit

Thanks the team for this xMass present. Will wait for the update itself

SergeiStPete ( 2014-12-18 18:29:37 +0200 )edit

"The first one" Updating... Reboot and then nothing. Only black... I did have Uitukka.

Recovery, option 5.. not helping... so, reset my phone.

Make backup!

Nice one ! Thanks Jolla Team !

runvgn ( 2014-12-18 18:34:14 +0200 )edit

Still now fix for calendar reminder sync issue, for example in case of google calendar? When calendar events are synced from google, reminders are not synced. And when you manually set reminder to Jolla for some calendar event synced from google, that reminder is overriden(set to none) in some point when data is synced from google again.

prinne ( 2014-12-18 18:35:27 +0200 )edit

This update also contains GStreamer 1.4 libraries with basic support for playing back only local audio files.

Perhaps interested developers could start experimenting with it. Support for more formats and camera will be added later on as development progress advances.

MSameer ( 2014-12-18 18:40:32 +0200 )edit

At the first boot on the new update the PIN dialog didn't work. Phone didn't react to any presses on the screen. I waited couple of minutes, but no reactions. I powered off the phone with the power key. At the second try after maybe 30 seconds the PIN dialog started to work and I could start to use the phone. The phone was quite warm during the first and the second boot. BTW I skipped the update 9.

ApB ( 2014-12-18 19:01:06 +0200 )edit

Just to give one positive report: I updated from Uitukka and had absolutely no trouble. What an awesome gift for the holidays! Thank you, sailors!

Not available here in switzerland in this minutes :(

I have also try to delete the os-info file.

I see that in the System Information in the setting app the version number is: unknown version, is that bad?

heubergen ( 2014-12-18 19:04:22 +0200 )edit

It is staged release. It might take some time to show up.

Can not confirm. I installed the update 1 hour ago. (I'm from Switzerland)

alex25 ( 2014-12-18 19:10:33 +0200 )edit

This update is for all users, not only opt-in. It might take some time until you are able to download update, thank you for your patience.

iekku ( 2014-12-18 19:11:00 +0200 )edit

then I think, just I have not yet reached the update :(

heubergen ( 2014-12-18 19:13:21 +0200 )edit

@bijjal just to avoid the chaos, maybe you had announced the update one day for one class. I mean day 1(today) just for the first one, day 2 update 9 users added, then day 3 all users. I hope you don't have so much device brick announcements... for my part i think i wait a little bit to observe how the update progress in the community... that a quite huge update this time. I wonder that it goes out for all, with less tests (it's not a critic, just a remark)

cemoi71 ( 2014-12-18 19:15:52 +0200 )edit

Update worked, but now I can neither call nor send SMS. Germany

xfade ( 2014-12-18 19:36:11 +0200 )edit

Not yet. If you want it then either submit libopus to mer and I will enable the plugin or wait until I have enough time to do it :)

MSameer ( 2014-12-18 19:37:12 +0200 )edit

@heubergen Now why did you delete that file? You should not try to break your own system, that is a bad thing to do!

xfade ( 2014-12-18 19:38:24 +0200 )edit

I have no idea how to push something to mer. I'll wait. :)

ApB ( 2014-12-18 19:39:10 +0200 )edit

Same here, works like a charm.

Almost the same here. Updating seemed to work (enough space was there too). But then when rebooting my first one got stuck at bootspash logo. I had hoped for a better christmas present than this :-(

Looks like I'll be joining the club :)

Updating from Uitukka, and I sure have enough space on my drive... Downloading was pretty quick, but when it started updating the progress bar hung about 65% thru... and has stood still there for the last 10 minutes :(

I probably have to reset the device and start from scratch, bummer...

juiceme ( 2014-12-18 22:11:22 +0200 )edit

Same here, no Uitukka, just before that one 1.0.8 or something like that. Option 5 didn't helped. Full battery and enough storage space free.

Edit: A reset did the job.

tigeli ( 2014-12-18 23:48:12 +0200 )edit

too late, works again meanwhile .

what i tried was rebooting , re-inserting SIM card, clicking on the configure button in the SIM configuration app. Without any visible effect . Later i suddenly got on SMS from my carrier saying that my phone was configured for SMS, internet and stuff (Internet was always functional actually ). From that on Calls and SMS started to work again .

Blizzz ( 2014-12-18 23:56:46 +0200 )edit

Same here (blank screen) happened to me when updating to Uitukka - however, if you had wi-fi and SSH enabled beforehand, you can SSH into the device and fix it with zypper ref && zypper dup.

This time, it said "Could not be updated..." and there was a blank screen again, but reboot fixed it to the point that I could open the terminal and use zypper ref && zypper dup to finish the upgrade (it said that I have 1.1.1.26 in the Settings, but it wasn't true).

nodevel ( 2014-12-19 00:08:05 +0200 )edit

Thanks guys for having the cojones to eventually wreck your end-of-year holidays! I hope you can avoid any storms and enjoy calm sea! Update from opt-in-9 went smooth as silk.

killed the system, shows bootscreen, white led, and than screen just went blank.
not a great user experience at all.

Edit: it seems it boots but showing nothing on the display, logging into jolla with ssh works, and shows old Version:

c3lgad1s ( 2014-12-19 00:59:53 +0200 )edit

will try the zypper thing after rsync finished syncing jolla /home directory :)
thanks for sharing your fix, hope it will work for me too

edit: upgrade in progress from cli (ssh/screen)
zypper show no space on device for multiple packages, the first few worked after retry, because there are over 2GB free space on /
also checked btrfs filesystem df

I skipped gst-plugins-good, but I think jolla-sessions-qt5 is quite mandatory, but impossible to upgrade

kelvan ( 2014-12-19 01:55:14 +0200 )edit

Installed and running OK for some 6 hours. Will not test lock code until hot fix for this feature has been released. One of the benefits of road testing it on the more technical first users:)

richardski ( 2014-12-19 01:58:13 +0200 )edit

So I tried updating last night from 1.0.7.16 as I had downgraded from 1.0.8. Phone downloaded the update, installed, rebooted with progress bar then rebooted again and loaded up fine. Check the phone and it still says there is an update... Phone is still 1.0.7.16 .

suppose Im lucky the phone is not bricked, but I don't use screen lock anyway :p most people can't figure out how to swipe unlock it

So I try to download again and it keeps stopping the download, I have about 5 gig free ??
