Update: We'll start rolling out this release to everyone today (15.6).

Please ensure that you have ~1.5GB of free disk space and connect your Jolla to a charger before attempting to upgrade your Jolla. If connected to the internet, and your account is subscribed for early access releases, your Jolla should receive an OS update notification shortly.

As usual,

If you use phonehook from OpenRepos, uninstall it before upgrading.
If you use patchmanager, revert all applied patches before upgrading.
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.
Take a backup of your data before attempting to upgrade your device. A successful backup operation is indicated by a green dot in the UI.
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.

Upgrade version history

1.1.6.27 (8.6.2015): Initial early access release

Known issues

If you have phonehook from OpenRepos installed uninstall it before upgrading.
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!

Highlights missing Flattr support in Store which is in the Changelog. I'd consider that a fairly big highlight and worth mentioning to non-developers

Before I make a bug report of its own, I want to hear if anyone else notice this.

I use the Android Subsonic streaming player (I love subsonic and want to port my own from Maemo to native Sailfish once I get some time).

If I play one mp3 in subsonic (that means under android) it sounds just awful, garbled, like extreme low quality or something (doesn't matter if I open it in ES file explorer and play under ES Media Player). If I play the very same one under the native media player the tune sounds just fine. Note: It is not a streaming issue, it is fully cached.

I am not completely sure this has happened specifically since the 1.1.6/Aaslakkajärvi, but now it is definitely bad audio under android. Can someone confirm, is there already a report here on this at TJC (can't find one myself)?

Some media info:

Format: MPEG Audio

File size: 13.6 MiB

Channel(s): 2 channels

Bit rate mode: Constant

Overall bit rate: 320 Kbps

Sampling rate: 44.1 Khz

Compression mode: Lossy

Writing library: LAME3.99r

Encoding settings: -m j -V 4 -q 3 -lowpass 20.5

have a look at
https://together.jolla.com/question/76902/bad-sound-in-android-apps/
maybe it should be fixed in the meantime, I don't know

rudi: Thank you for finding this (I must be really bad at searching :-) ). I'll see that it makes its way into release notes for 1.1.6 as well. Because it is obviously not better.

EDIT: The issue you pointed me to is closed for some reason. And it isn't possible to "edit" the release notes in this release.

I have to start a new bug, how can it be tracked otherwise?

Larswad ( 2015-06-11 12:05:41 +0300 )edit

@Larswad - you can reopen the closed question and edit and you can also edit just about any other question, but not comments from others. You clearly have enough karma points, so edit away! :)

I encountered a problem today where the covers in task switcher moved to background and are not accesible anymore. I can't say how this happened. The covers stay in background when swiping up or down (i.e. they are in background of the application-icons or on lock screen but even on task screen they were not clickable. Reloading home screen fixed the issue. How can I make a bug report (never done it before) and should I do so? Unfortunately I can't send a screenshot as there would be personal data on screenshot that is not anonymizable without messing up the whole screenshot.

Are you able to access jolla store?If yes, Download Sailfish utilities and do the delete store cache command. And check if there is enough space (you need 1,5GB.

Notice, still have those random reboots and no it's not question about a piece of paper to press the battery, the phone does a restart and this seems to happening since later versions of 1.0 branch.

1) check your logs 2) clean the battery contact 3) do the solution described in the shutdowns topic.

Before the version 1.1.2 i too had this problem. After that it doesn't happened. I too kept piece of paper under the battery.

i just tried updating but something went wrong.

i pressed download, and then, during the download, made a backup. then i had to go away. when i got back, it said the phone was current, but i never did the actual reboot. can i somehow test if everything was updated? the memory info in settings an search in email are available.

plus i have the notification, that 1.6.27 is available. when i press it, thevupdate screen shows and sais that the version is current. when i try to refresh, it only sais waiting for connection and silently fails after a while.

The store app also sais that an update is currently in progress, but i do not know how to continue it.

For me the update process seems to be stuck in the middle.

What I've done was to disable/reverted patchmanagers patches, then rebooted and then started the updating process. Which seemed to have run smoothly (no error messages during download as far as I can tell, progressbar while applying the update going slowly but steadyly to 100% then reboot). But

when accessing the patchmanager config in the settings menu it tells me about corrupted QML files and that I should do some zypper magic before rebooting as it could brick the phone otherwise.
opening fingerterm zypper seems not to be there (command not found)
accessing the store tells me that there is currently an upgrade in process and this needs to be finished before accessung the store, but checking the product informations in the settings says version 1.1.6.27 and no new version available
the keyboard seems to be "broken" i.e. it does not contain any keys (except in the fingerterm, there the keyboard is working)

I'm unsure about how to proceed.

restart the keyboard in the utilities
rebooting again
uninstalling the patchmanager

Any help would be much appreciated!

For the patchmanager part asking to do some zypper magic: zypper is just another package managing tool, the original thing is pkcon, google the man-page and go from there (or install zypper).

For the general upgrade issue, it seems you had some nasty stuff installed before that now breaks your keyboard setup an what not else. You either know the bits to revert and try upgrading in terminal or you are better off doing a backup of your stuff and factory-reset. Attempting to upgrade again is another thing you can do in a terminal, if you need specifics ask for it please (joining IRC freenode in #jollamobile might help).

using pkcon to solve the issue with the patchmanager worked (I've not enabled the patches again) thanks!.

bAvatar ( 2015-06-15 23:54:08 +0300 )edit

I've done a factory reset the device. As I've time to dig into the problem... applying backups now.

Bookmarked - thanks!

After the factory reset the Jolla store is broken again. After some time using the device a message about a new OS version appeared and since then store is closed but settings says there is no new version to download.

This update messed up the phone big time. After install the phone restarted and all i can see is the backround and nothing esle. I'm able to lock/unlock the screen but nothing else. Tried taking out the battery etc, no help. When connecting to a pc with usb cable, the phone says "unlock the phone first" but nothing can be entered. Seems have to do some recoveries using the recovery mode..

I would let it connected to the charger and just give it some time. In my case it helped to do a restart after some hours.
