Update on 31.8.2015: 1.1.7.28 will be rolled out to all our users today. The update process will take a long time to complete (especially the file system optimizations), please be patient.

In some cases (<1% so far in the early access group), it has taken about 1.5-2 hours where the upgrade was stuck at 95-99%. The on-device update texts have been adjusted to warn about this issue.

If you have developer mode enabled, you may enable persistent logging to help us get logs to identify this issue: In /etc/systemd/journald.conf, change Storage=volatile to Storage=automatic and create /var/log/journal before downloading the update. Change it back to volatile after the upgrade goes through.

As the issue remains open at the moment, we've added a new feature in 1.1.7.28 to enable persistent logs during software upgrade process. Should this issue reoccur while upgrading to 1.1.9, you will be able to retrieve logs from affected devices to assist the debugging.

Please ensure that you have ~1.5GB of free disk space before attempting to upgrade your Jolla. This release introduces a new build toolchain, which means almost all packages will get updated: The more space you have, the better. If connected to the internet, 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
  • 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.

Known issues

OS update process

  • OS update may remain at about 95% for a long time. If you have developer mode enabled, you may enable persistent logging to help us get logs to identify this issue: In /etc/systemd/journald.conf change Storage=volatile to Storage=automatic and create /var/log/journal before downloading the update. Change it back to volatile after the upgrade went through.
  • 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!

Other issues

  • 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.
  • 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.

First release named after a Swedish lake!

Stefanix ( 2015-07-15 14:08:33 +0300 )edit

@Stefanix, or the Swedish name for the 30 Finnish lakes named Karhujärvi. I doubt there are any Finnish lakes starting with B, as that letter is seldomly used in the Finnish language.

nick75 ( 2015-07-15 14:14:33 +0300 )edit

It's a lake between Porvoo and Loviisa so I'd say it is very much a Finnish lake. Finland has a long history of Swedish rule though, so Swedish names are not that uncommon. See Järviwiki)

Yaniel ( 2015-07-15 14:16:18 +0300 )edit

Update failed after the progress bar was over 90 %. However, after reboot the phone claims that it's running version 1.1.7.24 but at the same time it offers an update notification but checking for updates doesn't work...

skvark ( 2015-07-15 14:46:47 +0300 )edit

The progress bar is at 98% for an hour now, must I reboot my device or waiting more?

TellienInTouch ( 2015-07-15 16:08:25 +0300 )edit

Update went fast and smooth, everything seems to be ok.

William ( 2015-07-15 16:42:44 +0300 )edit

hello Update went fine android apps are in android setting only threema message app is greyed out i cant set the option: background processes

Update went smooth, everything seems to be ok. Thank you, Jolla !

tvicol ( 2015-07-15 19:39:24 +0300 )edit

Update was successful. Took about 30 mins in total. So far so good:)

richardski ( 2015-07-15 20:06:36 +0300 )edit

About 30mins here, too (including the file system optimization). Device became really hot during the update process, so I guess it was hard work. :)

ossi1967 ( 2015-07-15 20:16:50 +0300 )edit

Update installed without problems.

Two words: spare batteries. I'm sorry to keep on repeating this, but none of this all matters as long as we get those.

jsalonen ( 2015-07-15 21:23:37 +0300 )edit

@nick75 : There is Finnish lakes which do have name starting with letter B. One example is Bodominjärvi here in Espoo.

Mika Hanhijärvi ( 2015-07-15 22:03:29 +0300 )edit

@Mika Hanhijärvi, you are absolutely right, there are some lakes starting with B in their Finnish names. And that particular lake (Bodominjärvi) have a sad story attached to it..

@Yaniel, where is that lake? It does not appear in Järviwiki, so if you could provide the location, I will try to update Järviwiki.

@nick75 Looks like TJC broke my link. (the closing parenthesis is supposed to be part of the url) Here it is again: http://www.jarviwiki.fi/wiki/Björnträsket_(16.001.1.003)

Yaniel ( 2015-07-15 22:16:58 +0300 )edit

Flawless for me. It did a balance beforehand. Had to reboot after reapplying the remorese timer patch. Also, had to relink my contacts. That was all.

lispy ( 2015-07-15 22:35:13 +0300 )edit

Thanks for that upgrade. Everything seems to work smoothly as before, but snappier.

@nick75@Mika Hanhijärvi we actually used Bodominjärvi already, before we started selling the phone / make public releases

@monkeyisland had the same issue with Threema; I re-installed the latest apk I found on my device, then everything was fine. The update itself went well, took about 60min, without the progress bar getting stuck or anything

tokaru ( 2015-07-16 00:17:05 +0300 )edit

Anyone else got: Sailfish device failed to update, please try again later (from memory) and OK button? So weird (happened at around 80%)? (probably related to battery being below 50%, second attempt went fine and much quicker, phew)

szopin ( 2015-07-16 00:24:53 +0300 )edit

Update successful. Though i did have to move some data to the sdcard before the balance would work.

GD ( 2015-07-16 05:53:42 +0300 )edit

Thanks for the update. After initial issue with "not enough free space" and resolving it using btrfs balance, the updrade installed without any hickups. Release 1.1.7.24 is running smoothly for me, but thproof of the pudding is in the eating.

WilliePre ( 2015-07-16 08:37:46 +0300 )edit

@nick75: Finnish uses just 15 letters of the alphabet, the rest of letters like B are only used in some loan words and most Finns will pronounce it like P. The 16th sound ŋ do not have it's own letter.

Trizt ( 2015-07-16 08:54:26 +0300 )edit

@Trizt, Yes, I am aware - being from Finland myself ... eventhough now living in Sweden.

@Yaniel, thanks for the correction, now I too found it. The mixture of using Finnish and Swedish names for various locations makes it sometimes a challange to find what you are looking for ...

1.1.7.25 (17.7.2015): Fix an issue in package management middleware - you probably meant 27/7/2015

"This release introduces a new build toolchain, which means almost all packages will get updated"

Considering the above, I expected the size to be quite big, however this update was very small and was done in tens of seconds, at most. Is this expected or not?

can't download 1.1.7.25. It says problem with store or gets stuck on downloading. having problems with installing apps as well.

same problem for me ..cant download 1.1.7.25..its showing "problem with the store"..i also tried deleting "os.info" file from home\nemo\ .catche and "pkill store-client" from terminal..but nothing helps..its not showing even the download size of update..

venki ( 2015-07-28 09:55:20 +0300 )edit

1.1.7.25 just downloaded and installed. Full cold reboot performed and so far all appears to be working OK. I will carry on testing features and apps to see if any problems arise.

richardski ( 2015-07-28 10:37:47 +0300 )edit

@clau: If you have already installed 1.1.7.24 the new packages are already there and there's no need to update them again.

When will Björnträsket be rolled out for everyone?

wanderer ( 2015-08-04 13:23:12 +0300 )edit

@wanderer - it was supposed to be released last week, but there have been no news about the roll out schedule since. I myself was hoping to see it roll out, but it seems we get the silent game again. :P

Installed early access release 1.1.7.27. Will check an issue I experience with creating calendar entries.

WilliePre ( 2015-08-13 12:53:30 +0300 )edit

Update from 1.1.7.24 -> 1.1.7.25 -> 1.1.7.27 went smooth for me. Happy to see that doubletap->swipe up->release, now takes me directly to the security code entry. See also https://together.jolla.com/question/51437/request-merge-notification-and-lock-screen-swipe-to-open-like-n9/ Hoping that the off-by-one error on caldav calendars have been fixed now...

martinrusler ( 2015-08-13 21:33:42 +0300 )edit

I experience 2 issues with release 1.1.7.x (I've release 1.1.7.27 installed)

  • Calendar updates: When creating a Calendar entry (in my Jolla Calendar app) that uses my Google calendar, it is not synced with Google calendar and the entry disappears. If an calendar entry is created in my Personal (Jolla Calendar app) calendar, all is fine, the entry does not disappear and shows in the calendar. Now if entries are created in Google calendar via the web, these entries are synced to my Jolla Calendar app and does show in the Calendar.

  • Clipboard: The clipboard stops working frequently. Restarting it via Utilities (Restart Keyboard) does not restart it. The only solutions is rebooting the phone.

WilliePre ( 2015-08-14 18:23:54 +0300 )edit

@WilliamPre: I am also experiencing this. Sometimes restarting Keyboard via utilities works after the second or third try. Also restarting the GUI via systemctl --user restart lipstick (in terminal, developer mode required) fixes the clipboard most of the time. It is just another workaround, but a bit faster than a reboot.

wanderer ( 2015-08-14 20:31:43 +0300 )edit

Did you report this as a bug to Jolla and/or here as a separate question on TJC? This sounds like a pretty annoying defect for an official release.

G.Ohrner ( 2015-08-14 20:53:41 +0300 )edit

In my mobile update 1.1.7.25v is showing and not the v27. I have 3.0BG space but optimizing process is not completing so I couldn't install any early user updates.

if "Better WLAN connection handling for Android apps“ means android apps gets to access the internet via wifi more reliably, then I don't really think I am experiencing that, as my android apps still works better on mobile data

I guess 1.1.7 will be skipped for the public and 2.0 will be rolled out ? What do you think?

tl;dr: I broke stuff and reset, now seems to work, but what data to restore?

I was happy to see the update being avaible now. Then I thought better enable logging. I forgot to create '/var/log/journal' though. To finish enabling logging to files I thought I'd better reboot the phone before installing the update (which I already downloaded) Then I ended up in a reboot loop. I managed to get some of the logs (it created the missing folder itself) and data before I reset the phone using the Rescue-Mode. Now, having the full /home/nemo folder on the sdcard i am wondering which files/folders to restore. If someone is interested in the logfiles I will upload them somewhere.

Help, since the update, my sim card is not detected (as detailed here).

My jolla phone is of no use since then, I tried rebooting, and rebooting the network conection, without success. This is a major issue for me, as my phone can neither send nor receive calls and text, and wifi connection is blocked as well.

Did you check if update went through conpletely? Maybe check some of these possibilities mentioned in zendesk article...

Thanks for this answer, but both my wifi and my 4G connections are unavailable, so I cannot complete the 2.1.1 part of this article.

MaxR ( 2015-09-02 22:48:47 +0300 )edit

Just to discard the hypothesis of a SIM issue: try with an other SIM card (preferably from an other operator)

objectifnul ( 2015-09-03 00:55:08 +0300 )edit

I contacted Jolla care: a factory reset solved the issue.
