Changelog
For detailed changelog , see https://together.jolla.com/question/184470/changelog-220-mouhijoki/
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 appear here]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 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, visit Zendesk: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201836347
Notification concerning apps from Open Repos
- 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.
About SD cards
New path to sdcard: symbolic link: /media/sdcard/<uuid>/, actual path /run/media/nemo/<uuid>/ Please read our help article on SD cards supported by Sailfish OS: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201997993
Known issues
- Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances
- trouble with signing in to Dropbox account sometimes
- Events View has been reported to remain empty in some cases.
Known issues specific to Xperia X
- [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 try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now.
- Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Sometimes it is required to revert the device to Android and re-install Sailfish X then. See our help article: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004283713-Reverting-Xperia-to-Android-OS-and-reinstalling-Sailfish-OS
- Xperia X does not power up when alarm time has elapsed
- Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The top most item is not necessarily the one that can serve you. (still valid with most SIM cards)
- Bluetooth: still problems with car equipment, some audio devices and computers.
- Waking up the device by double-tap does not work
- Loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted high enough (but echo cancellation was added to the audio path in 2.1.4)
- Sensors:
- not working: barometer, step counter.
- compass working in Google Maps, not yet natively.
- Issues with video playback and video recording (less than before).
- FM radio missing.
- Even though all CPU cores get eventually enabled, foreground apps do not always run on the big cores.

Changelog
For detailed changelog , see https://together.jolla.com/question/184470/changelog-220-mouhijoki/
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 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, visit Zendesk: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201836347
Notification concerning apps from Open Repos
- 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.
About SD cards
New path to sdcard: symbolic link: /media/sdcard/<uuid>/, actual path /run/media/nemo/<uuid>/ Please read our help article on SD cards supported by Sailfish OS: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201997993
Known issues
- Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances
- trouble with signing in to Dropbox account sometimes
- Events View has been reported to remain empty in some cases.
Known issues specific to Xperia X
- [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 try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now.
- Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Sometimes it is required to revert the device to Android and re-install Sailfish X then. See our help article:
https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004283713-Reverting-Xperia-to-Android-OS-and-reinstalling-Sailfish-OShttps://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004283713 - Xperia X does not power up when alarm time has elapsed
- Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The top most item is not necessarily the one that can serve you. (still valid with most SIM cards)
- Bluetooth: still problems with car equipment, some audio devices and computers.
- Waking up the device by double-tap does not work
- Loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted high enough (but echo cancellation was added to the audio path in 2.1.4)
- Sensors:
- not working: barometer, step counter.
- compass working in Google Maps, not yet natively.
- Issues with video playback and video recording (less than before).
- FM radio missing.
- Even though all CPU cores get eventually enabled, foreground apps do not always run on the big cores.

[release notes] 2.2.0 / Mouhijoki
This update, having the nickname Mouhijoki, introduces a new simpler single item view in Gallery and Camera app, adds fingerprint unlock support and and emoji keyboard layout 😎👍👏. VPN and MDM have become more robust. Android Support has been updated for Xperia X and Jolla C devices. There are several improvements for Email app. Remorse timers can be swiped away to commit immediately. We have dropped continuous focus from Xperia X camera - the camera stays out of focus when it starts until you either tap or try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now. Last but not least Sailfish X now officially supports the Xperia X dual SIM phone (F5122).

Changelog
For detailed changelog , see https://together.jolla.com/question/184470/changelog-220-mouhijoki/
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 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, visit Zendesk: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201836347
Notification concerning apps from Open Repos
- 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.
About SD cards
New path to sdcard: symbolic link: /media/sdcard/<uuid>/, actual path /run/media/nemo/<uuid>/ Please read our help article on SD cards supported by Sailfish OS: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201997993
Known issues
- Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances
- trouble with signing in to Dropbox account sometimes
- Events View has been reported to remain empty in some cases.
Known issues specific to Xperia X
- [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 try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now.
- Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has helped. See our support article: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004283713
- Xperia X does not power up when alarm time has elapsed
- Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The top most item is not necessarily the one that can serve you. (still valid with most SIM cards)
- Bluetooth: still problems with car equipment, some audio devices and computers.
- Waking up the device by double-tap does not work
- Loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted high enough (but echo cancellation was added to the audio path in 2.1.4)
- Sensors:
- not working: barometer, step counter.
- compass working in Google Maps, not yet natively.
- Issues with video playback and video recording (less than before).
- FM radio missing.
- Even though all CPU cores get eventually enabled, foreground apps do not always run on the big cores.

[release notes] 2.2.0 / Mouhijoki
This update, having the nickname Mouhijoki, introduces a new simpler single item view in Gallery and Camera app, adds fingerprint unlock support and and emoji keyboard layout 😎👍👏. VPN and MDM have become more robust. Android Support has been updated for Xperia X and Jolla C devices. There are several improvements for Email app. Remorse timers can be swiped away to commit immediately. We have dropped continuous focus from Xperia X camera - the camera stays out of focus when it starts until you either tap or try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now. Last but not least Sailfish X now officially supports the Xperia X dual SIM phone (F5122).
Many thanks to you our active contributors for your feedback and proposals!

About SD cards
New path to sdcard: symbolic link: /media/sdcard/<uuid>/, actual path /run/media/nemo/<uuid>/ Please read our help article on SD cards supported by Sailfish OS: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201997993
Known issues
- Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances
- trouble with signing in to Dropbox account sometimes
- Events View has been reported to remain empty in some cases.
Known issues specific to Xperia X
- [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 try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now.
- Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has helped. See our support article: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004283713
- Xperia X does not power up when alarm time has elapsed
- Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The top most item is not necessarily the one that can serve you. (still valid with most SIM cards)
- Bluetooth: still problems with car equipment, some audio devices and computers.
- Waking up the device by double-tap does not work
- Loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted high enough (but echo cancellation was added to the audio path in 2.1.4)
- Sensors:
- not working: barometer, step counter.
- compass working in Google Maps, not yet natively.
- Issues with video playback and video recording (less than before).
- FM radio missing.
- Even though all CPU cores get eventually enabled, foreground apps do not always run on the big cores.

[release notes] 2.2.0 / Mouhijoki
This update, nicknamed Mouhijoki, introduces a new simpler single item view in Gallery and Camera app, adds fingerprint unlock support and and emoji keyboard layout 😎👍👏. VPN and MDM have become more robust. Android Support has been updated for Xperia X and Jolla C devices. There are several improvements for Email app. Remorse timers can be swiped away to commit immediately. We have dropped continuous focus from Xperia X camera - the camera stays out of focus when it starts until you either tap or try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now. Last but not least Sailfish X now officially supports the Xperia X dual SIM phone (F5122).

Changelog
For detailed changelog , see https://together.jolla.com/question/184470/changelog-220-mouhijoki/
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 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.

Changelog
For detailed changelog , see https://together.jolla.com/question/184470/changelog-220-mouhijoki/
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 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, visit Zendesk: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201836347
Notification concerning apps from Open Repos
- 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.
About SD cards
New path to sdcard: symbolic link: /media/sdcard/<uuid>/, actual path /run/media/nemo/<uuid>/ Please read our help article on SD cards supported by Sailfish OS: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201997993
Known issues
- Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances
- trouble with signing in to Dropbox account sometimes
- Events View has been reported to remain empty in some cases.
Known issues specific to Xperia X
- [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 try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now.
- Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has helped. See our support article: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004283713
- Xperia X does not power up when alarm time has elapsed
- Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The top most item is not necessarily the one that can serve you. (still valid with most SIM cards)
- Bluetooth: still problems with car equipment, some audio devices and computers.
- Waking up the device by double-tap does not work
- Loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted high enough (but echo cancellation was added to the audio path in 2.1.4)
- Sensors:
- not working: barometer, step counter.
- compass working in Google Maps, not yet natively.
- Issues with video playback and video recording (less than before).
- FM radio missing.
- Even though all CPU cores get eventually enabled, foreground apps do not always run on the big cores.

Changelog
For detailed changelog , see https://together.jolla.com/question/184470/changelog-220-mouhijoki/
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 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, visit Zendesk: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201836347
Notification concerning apps from Open Repos
- 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.
About SD cards
New path to sdcard: symbolic link: /media/sdcard/<uuid>/, actual path /run/media/nemo/<uuid>/ Please read our help article on SD cards supported by Sailfish OS: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201997993
Known issues
- Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances
- trouble with signing in to Dropbox account sometimes
- Events View has been reported to remain empty in some cases.
Known issues specific to Xperia X
- [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 try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now.
- Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has helped. See our support article: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004283713
- Xperia X does not power up when alarm time has elapsed
- Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The top most item is not necessarily the one that can serve you. (still valid with most SIM cards)
- Bluetooth: still problems with car equipment, some audio devices and computers.
- Waking up the device by double-tap does not work
- Loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted high enough (but echo cancellation was added to the audio path in 2.1.4)
- Sensors:
- not working: barometer, step counter.
- compass working in Google Maps, not yet natively.
- Issues with video playback and video recording (less than before).
- FM radio missing.
- Even though all CPU cores get eventually enabled, foreground apps do not always run on the big cores.

[release notes] 2.2.0 / Mouhijoki
This update, nicknamed Mouhijoki, introduces a new simpler single item view in Gallery and Camera app, adds fingerprint unlock support and emoji keyboard layout 😎👍👏. VPN and MDM have become more robust. Android Support has been updated for Xperia X and Jolla C devices. There are several improvements for Email app. Remorse timers can be swiped away to commit immediately. We have dropped continuous focus from Xperia X camera - the camera stays out of focus when it starts until you either tap or try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now. Last but not least Sailfish X now officially supports the Xperia X dual SIM phone (F5122).
Many thanks to you our active contributors for your feedback and proposals!

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 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.

Notification concerning apps from Open Repos
- 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.

[release notes] 2.2.0 / Mouhijoki
This update, nicknamed Mouhijoki, introduces a new simpler single item view in Gallery and Camera app, adds fingerprint unlock support and emoji keyboard layout 😎👍👏. VPN and MDM have become more robust. Android Support has been updated for Xperia X and Jolla C devices. There are several improvements for Email app. Remorse timers can be swiped away to commit immediately. We have dropped continuous focus from Xperia X camera - the camera stays out of focus when it starts until you either tap or try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now. Last but not least Sailfish X now officially supports the Xperia X dual SIM phone (F5122).
Many thanks to you our active contributors for your feedback and proposals! proposals!

- [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 try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now.
- Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has helped. See our support article: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004283713
- Xperia X does not power up when alarm time has elapsed.
- Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The top most item is not necessarily the one that can serve you (still valid with most SIM cards).
- Bluetooth: Still problems with car equipment, some audio devices and computers.
- Waking up the device by double-tap does not work.
- Loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted high enough (but echo cancellation was added to the audio path in 2.1.4).
- Sensors:
- Not working: barometer, step counter.
- Compass working in Google Maps, not yet natively.
- Issues with video playback and video recording (less than before).
- FM radio missing.
- Even though all CPU cores get eventually enabled, foreground apps do not always run on the big cores.

[release notes] 2.2.0 / Mouhijoki
This update, nicknamed Mouhijoki, introduces a new simpler single item view in Gallery and Camera app, adds fingerprint unlock support and emoji keyboard layout 😎👍👏. VPN and MDM have become more robust. Android Support has been updated for Xperia X and Jolla C devices. There are several improvements for Email app. Remorse timers can be swiped away to commit immediately. We have dropped continuous focus from Xperia X camera - the camera stays out of focus when it starts until you either tap or try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now. Last but not least Sailfish X now officially supports the Xperia X dual SIM phone (F5122).
Many thanks to you our active contributors for your feedback and proposals!

Update version history
- 2018-05-31: 2.2.0.29 was released to Early Access subscribers (Jolla devices and Xperia). The flashable image of F5122 is not yet available in the download repository.
- 2018-mm-dd: 2.2.0.y is going to be released to all Jolla customers (Jolla1, Jolla Tablet, Xperia X).
Size of update
The download size of the update depends on the device type and on the OS version currently in the device. Some typical values below:
- Jolla 1 from 2.1.4.14 to 2.2.0: about 300 MB
- Jolla C from 2.1.4.14 to 2.2.0: about 400 MB
- Xperia X from 2.1.4.14 to 2.2.0: about 350 MB
NOTE: The download to Jolla 1, Jolla C and Jolla Tablet is known to be slow. Be patient and keep your device connected to a charger.
NOTE 2: Do not download and install the F5122 update to your F5122 devices yet as you do not have the official F5122 software baseline in the device. You need to install the F5122 image first (by flashing) - only then you can download and install over-the-air updates successfully.
Release Highlights
This list contains examples of new features (and some bug fixes) added to SailfishOS compared to the previous release 2.1.4. The release notes of 2.1.4 can be found here: https://together.jolla.com/question/179223/release-notes-214-lapuanjoki/
Mouhijoki 2.2.0 adds the support for Sony Xperia X dual-SIM (model: F5122). Hence Sailfish X can be installed to this device, too. Renewed instructions for installing Sailfish OS to Sony Xperia X devices are here - covering Windows, Linux and Mac computers. The same instructions are valid for F5121 and F5122, however, there is a dedicated flashable image for each device model. The image for F5122 will become available for you when the Early Access phase is over.

Changelog
For detailed changelog, see https://together.jolla.com/question/184470/changelog-220-mouhijoki/
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 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, visit Zendesk: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201836347
Notification concerning apps from Open Repos
- 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.
About SD cards
New path to sdcard: Symbolic link /media/sdcard/<uuid>/, actual path /run/media/nemo/<uuid>/
Please read our help article on SD cards supported by Sailfish OS: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201997993
Known issues
- Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances.
- Trouble with signing in to Dropbox account sometimes.

Changelog
For detailed changelog, see https://together.jolla.com/question/184470/changelog-220-mouhijoki/
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 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, visit Zendesk: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201836347
Notification concerning apps from Open Repos
- 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.
About SD cards
New path to sdcard: Symbolic link /media/sdcard/<uuid>/, actual path /run/media/nemo/<uuid>/
Please read our help article on SD cards supported by Sailfish OS: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201997993
Known issues
- Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances.
- Trouble with signing in to Dropbox account sometimes.
- Events View has been reported to remain empty in some cases.
Known issues specific to Xperia X
- [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 try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now.
- Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has helped. See our support article: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004283713
- Xperia X does not power up when alarm time has elapsed.
- Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The top most item is not necessarily the one that can serve you (still valid with most SIM cards).
- Bluetooth: Still problems with car equipment, some audio devices and computers.
- Waking up the device by double-tap does not work.
- Loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted high enough (but echo cancellation was added to the audio path in 2.1.4).
- Sensors:
- Not working: barometer, step counter.
- Compass working in Google Maps, not yet natively.
- Issues with video playback and video recording (less than before).
- FM radio missing.
- Even though all CPU cores get eventually enabled, foreground apps do not always run on the big cores.

[release notes] 2.2.0 / Mouhijoki
This update, nicknamed Mouhijoki, introduces a new simpler single item view in Gallery and Camera app, adds fingerprint unlock support and emoji keyboard layout 😎👍👏. VPN and MDM have become more robust. Android Support has been updated for Xperia X and Jolla C devices. There are several improvements for Email app. Remorse timers can be swiped away to commit immediately. We have dropped continuous focus from Xperia X camera - the camera stays out of focus when it starts until you either tap or try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now. Last but not least Sailfish X now officially supports the Xperia X dual SIM phone (F5122).
Many thanks to you our active contributors for your feedback and proposals!
NOTE: Please do not download and install the F5122 update to your F5122 devices yet yet
as you do not have the official F5122 software baseline in the device. Some malfunction could appear.
You need to install the F5122 image first (by flashing) - only flashing see chapter 6 in https://jolla.com/sailfishxinstall/).
Only then you can download and install over-the-air updates successfully.

Changelog
For detailed changelog, see https://together.jolla.com/question/184470/changelog-220-mouhijoki/
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 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, visit Zendesk: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201836347
Notification concerning apps from Open Repos
- 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.
About SD cards
New path to sdcard: Symbolic link /media/sdcard/<uuid>/, actual path /run/media/nemo/<uuid>/
Please read our help article on SD cards supported by Sailfish OS: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201997993
Known issues
- Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances.
- Trouble with signing in to Dropbox account sometimes.
- Events View has been reported to remain empty in some cases.
Known issues specific to Xperia X
- [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 try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now.
- Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has helped. See our support article: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004283713
- Xperia X does not power up when alarm time has elapsed.
- Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The top most item is not necessarily the one that can serve you (still valid with most SIM cards).
- Bluetooth: Still problems with car equipment, some audio devices and computers.
- Waking up the device by double-tap does not work.
- Loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted high enough (but echo cancellation was added to the audio path in 2.1.4).
- Sensors:
- Not working: barometer, step counter.
- Compass working in Google Maps, not yet natively.
- Issues with video playback and video recording (less than before).
- FM radio missing.
- Even though all CPU cores get eventually enabled, foreground apps do not always run on the big cores.

[release notes] 2.2.0 / Mouhijoki
This update, nicknamed Mouhijoki, introduces a new simpler single item view in Gallery and Camera app, adds fingerprint unlock support and emoji keyboard layout 😎👍👏. VPN and MDM have become more robust. Android Support has been updated for Xperia X and Jolla C devices. There are several improvements for Email app. Remorse timers can be swiped away to commit immediately. We have dropped continuous focus from Xperia X camera - the camera stays out of focus when it starts until you either tap or try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now. Last but not least Sailfish X now officially supports the Xperia X dual SIM phone (F5122).
Many thanks to you our active contributors for your feedback and proposals!
NOTE: Please do not download and install the F5122 update to your F5122 devices yet as you do not have the official F5122 software baseline in the device. Some malfunction could appear. You need to install the F5122 image first (by flashing see chapter 6 in https://jolla.com/sailfishxinstall/). Only then you can download and install over-the-air updates successfully.

Changelog
For detailed changelog, see https://together.jolla.com/question/184470/changelog-220-mouhijoki/
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 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, visit Zendesk: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201836347
Notification concerning apps from Open Repos
- 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.
About SD cards
New path to sdcard: Symbolic link /media/sdcard/<uuid>/, actual path /run/media/nemo/<uuid>/
Please read our help article on SD cards supported by Sailfish OS: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201997993
Known issues
- Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances.
- Trouble with signing in to Dropbox account sometimes.
- Events View has been reported to remain empty in some cases.
Known issues specific to Xperia X
- [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 try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now.
- Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has helped. See our support article: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004283713
- Xperia X does not power up when alarm time has elapsed.
- Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The top most item is not necessarily the one that can serve you (still valid with most SIM cards).
- Bluetooth: Still problems with car equipment, some audio devices and computers.
- Waking up the device by double-tap does not work.
- Loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted high enough (but echo cancellation was added to the audio path in 2.1.4).
- Sensors:
- Not working: barometer, step counter.
- Compass working in Google Maps, not yet natively.
- Issues with video playback and video recording (less than before).
- FM radio missing.
- Even though all CPU cores get eventually enabled, foreground apps do not always run on the big cores.

[release notes] 2.2.0 / Mouhijoki
This update, nicknamed Mouhijoki, introduces a new simpler single item view in Gallery and Camera app, adds fingerprint unlock support and emoji keyboard layout 😎👍👏. VPN and MDM have become more robust. Android Support has been updated for Xperia X and Jolla C devices. There are several improvements for Email app. Remorse timers can be swiped away to commit immediately. We have dropped continuous focus from Xperia X camera - the camera stays out of focus when it starts until you either tap or try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now. Last but not least Sailfish X now officially supports the Xperia X dual SIM phone (F5122).
Many thanks to you our active contributors for your feedback and proposals!
NOTE: Please do not download and install the F5122 update to your F5122 devices yet
as you do not have the official F5122 software baseline in the device. Some malfunction could appear.
You need to install the F5122 image first (by flashing see chapter 6 in https://jolla.com/sailfishxinstall/).
Only then you can download and install over-the-air updates successfully.

Mouhijoki 2.2.0 adds the support for Sony Xperia X dual-SIM (model: F5122). Hence Sailfish X can be installed to this device, too. Renewed instructions for installing Sailfish OS to Sony Xperia X devices are here - covering Windows, Linux and Mac computers. The same instructions are valid for F5121 and F5122, however, there is a dedicated flashable image for each device model. The image for F5122 will become available for you when the Early Access phase is over.

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 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, visit Zendesk: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201836347
Notification concerning apps from Open Repos
- 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.
About SD cards
New path to sdcard: Symbolic link /media/sdcard/<uuid>/, actual path /run/media/nemo/<uuid>/
Please read our help article on SD cards supported by Sailfish OS: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201997993
Known issues
- Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances.
- Trouble with signing in to Dropbox account sometimes.
- Events View has been reported to remain empty in some cases.
Known issues specific to Xperia X
- [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 try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now.
- Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has helped. See our support article: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004283713
- Xperia X does not power up when alarm time has elapsed.
- Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The top most item is not necessarily the one that can serve you (still valid with most SIM cards).
- Bluetooth: Still problems with car equipment, some audio devices and computers.
- Waking up the device by double-tap does not work.
- Loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted high enough (but echo cancellation was added to the audio path in 2.1.4).
- Sensors:
- Not working: barometer, step counter.
- Compass working in Google Maps, not yet natively.
- Issues with video playback and video recording (less than before).
- FM radio missing.
- Even though all CPU cores get eventually enabled, foreground apps do not always run on the big cores.

[release notes] 2.2.0 / Mouhijoki
This update, nicknamed Mouhijoki, introduces a new simpler single item view in Gallery and Camera app, adds fingerprint unlock support and emoji keyboard layout 😎👍👏. VPN and MDM have become more robust. Android Support has been updated for Xperia X and Jolla C devices. There are several improvements for Email app. Remorse timers can be swiped away to commit immediately. We have dropped continuous focus from Xperia X camera - the camera stays out of focus when it starts until you either tap or try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now. Last but not least Sailfish X now officially supports the Xperia X dual SIM phone (F5122).
Many thanks to you our active contributors for your feedback and proposals!
NOTE: Please do not download and install the F5122 update to your F5122 devices yet
as you do not have the official F5122 software baseline in the device. Some malfunction could appear.
You need to install the F5122 image first (by flashing see chapter 6 in https://jolla.com/sailfishxinstall/).
Only then you can download and install over-the-air updates successfully.

- [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 try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now.
- Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has helped. See our support article: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004283713
- Xperia X does not power up when alarm time has elapsed.
- Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The top most item is not necessarily the one that can serve you (still valid with most SIM cards).
- Bluetooth: Still problems with car equipment, some audio devices and computers.
- Waking up the device by double-tap does not work.
- Loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted high enough (but echo cancellation was added to the audio path in 2.1.4).
- Sensors:
- Not working: barometer, step counter.
- Compass working in Google Maps, not yet natively.
- Issues with video playback and video recording (less than before).
- FM radio missing.
- Even though all CPU cores get eventually enabled, foreground apps do not always run on the big cores.

[release notes] 2.2.0 / Mouhijoki
This update, nicknamed Mouhijoki, introduces a new simpler single item view in Gallery and Camera app, adds fingerprint unlock support and emoji keyboard layout 😎👍👏. VPN and MDM have become more robust. Android Support has been updated for Xperia X and Jolla C devices. There are several improvements for Email app. Remorse timers can be swiped away to commit immediately. We have dropped continuous focus from Xperia X camera - the camera stays out of focus when it starts until you either tap or try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now. Last but not least Sailfish X now officially supports the Xperia X dual SIM phone (F5122).
Many thanks to you our active contributors for your feedback and proposals!
NOTE: Please do not download and **NOTE: If you have a Sony Xperia X dual SIM device (model F5122) running Sailfish X already,
please install the F5122 update to your F5122 devices yet
as you do not have the official F5122 software baseline in the device. Some malfunction could appear.
You need to install the F5122 image of this update 2.2.0.29 first (by flashing "flashing" the device - see chapter 6 in https://jolla.com/sailfishxinstall/).
https://jolla.com/sailfishxinstall/). Do not try to update your device over-the-air, as your existing device software was never meant to be used in F5122 devices. Only then by flashing your device with update 2.2.0.29 now you ensure that the device works fine and you can download and install upcoming over-the-air updates successfully.

Changelog
For detailed changelog, see https://together.jolla.com/question/184470/changelog-220-mouhijoki/
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 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, visit Zendesk: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201836347
Notification concerning apps from Open Repos
- 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.
About SD cards
New path to sdcard: Symbolic link /media/sdcard/<uuid>/, actual path /run/media/nemo/<uuid>/
Please read our help article on SD cards supported by Sailfish OS: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201997993

This update, nicknamed Mouhijoki, introduces a new simpler single item view in Gallery and Camera app, adds fingerprint unlock support and emoji keyboard layout 😎👍👏. VPN and MDM have become more robust. Android Support has been updated for Xperia X and Jolla C devices. There are several improvements for Email app. Remorse timers can be swiped away to commit immediately. We have dropped continuous focus from Xperia X camera - the camera stays out of focus when it starts until you either tap or try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now. Last but not least Sailfish X now officially supports the Xperia X dual SIM phone (F5122).
Many thanks to you our active contributors for your feedback and proposals!
**NOTE: If you have a Sony Xperia X dual SIM device (model F5122) running Sailfish X already,
please install the official F5122 image of this update 2.2.0.29 first (by "flashing" the device - see chapter 6 in https://jolla.com/sailfishxinstall/). Do not try to update your device over-the-air, as your existing device software was never meant to be used in F5122 devices. Only by flashing your device with update 2.2.0.29 now you ensure that the device works fine and you can install upcoming over-the-air updates successfully.successfully.
You can download this F5122 image from https://shop.jolla.com/downloads/ . Sign in with your Jolla account you used or purchasing the Sailfish X license.

Changelog
For detailed changelog, see https://together.jolla.com/question/184470/changelog-220-mouhijoki/
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 case of "Jolla Phone" devices (product name "Jolla" in Settings > About product).
If you have a Sony Xperia X dual SIM device (model F5122) running Sailfish X already, please install the first official F5122 image (update 2.2.0.29) by "flashing" the device - see chapter 6 in https://jolla.com/sailfishxinstall/. You can download this F5122 image from https://shop.jolla.com/downloads/ . Sign in with your Jolla account you used for purchasing the Sailfish X license.
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.

Notification concerning apps from Open Repos
- 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.
About SD cards
New path to sdcard: Symbolic link /media/sdcard/<uuid>/, actual path /run/media/nemo/<uuid>/
Please read our help article on SD cards supported by Sailfish OS: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201997993
Known issues
- Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances.
- Trouble with signing in to Dropbox account sometimes.
- Events View has been reported to remain empty in some cases.
Known issues specific to Xperia X
- There are few observations (being investigated) where mobile data cannot be easily turned on after device restart. In such a case force the device to Flight Mode momentarily and back to normal mode. This will reset the modem.
- [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 try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now.
- Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has helped. See our support article: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004283713
- Xperia X does not power up when alarm time has elapsed.
- Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The top most item is not necessarily the one that can serve you (still valid with most SIM cards).
- Bluetooth: Still problems with car equipment, some audio devices and computers.
- Waking up the device by double-tap does not work.
- Loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted high enough (but echo cancellation was added to the audio path in 2.1.4).
- Sensors:
- Not working: barometer, step counter.
- Compass working in Google Maps, not yet natively.
- Issues with video playback and video recording (less than before).
- FM radio missing.
- Even though all CPU cores get eventually enabled, foreground apps do not always run on the big cores.

We have dropped continuous focus from Xperia X camera - the camera stays out of focus when it starts until you either tap or try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now. Last but not least Sailfish X now officially supports the Xperia X dual SIM phone (F5122).

Changelog
For detailed changelog, see https://together.jolla.com/question/184470/changelog-220-mouhijoki/
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 case of "Jolla Phone" devices (product name "Jolla" in Settings > About product).
If you have a Sony Xperia X dual SIM device (model F5122) running Sailfish X already, please install the first official F5122 image (update 2.2.0.29) by "flashing" the device - see chapter 6 in https://jolla.com/sailfishxinstall/. You can download this F5122 image from https://shop.jolla.com/downloads/ . Sign in with your Jolla account you used for purchasing the Sailfish X license.
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, visit Zendesk: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201836347
Notification concerning apps from Open Repos
- 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.
About SD cards
New path to sdcard: Symbolic link /media/sdcard/<uuid>/, actual path /run/media/nemo/<uuid>/
Please read our help article on SD cards supported by Sailfish OS: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201997993
Known issues
- Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances.
- Trouble with signing in to Dropbox account sometimes.
- Events View has been reported to remain empty in some cases.
Known issues specific to Xperia X
- There are few observations (being investigated) where mobile data cannot be easily turned on after device restart. In such a case force the device to Flight Mode momentarily and back to normal mode. This will reset the modem.
- [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 try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now.
- Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has helped. See our support article: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004283713
- Xperia X does not power up when alarm time has elapsed.
- Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The top most item is not necessarily the one that can serve you (still valid with most SIM cards).
- Bluetooth: Still problems with car equipment, some audio devices and computers.
- Waking up the device by double-tap does not work.
- Loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted high enough (but echo cancellation was added to the audio path in 2.1.4).
- Sensors:
- Not working: barometer, step counter.
- Compass working in Google Maps, not yet natively.
- Issues with video playback and video recording (less than before).
- FM radio missing.
- Even though all CPU cores get eventually enabled, foreground apps do not always run on the big cores.

Release Highlights
This list contains examples of new features (and some bug fixes) added to SailfishOS compared to the previous release 2.1.4. The release notes of 2.1.4 can be found here: https://together.jolla.com/question/179223/release-notes-214-lapuanjoki/
Mouhijoki 2.2.0 adds the support for Sony Xperia X dual-SIM (model: F5122). Hence Sailfish X can be installed to this device, too. Renewed instructions for installing Sailfish OS to Sony Xperia X devices are here - covering Windows, Linux and Mac computers. The same instructions are valid for F5121 and F5122, however, there is a dedicated flashable image for each device model.
NOTE: If you have a Sony Xperia X dual SIM device (model F5122) running Sailfish X already,
please install the official F5122 image of this update 2.2.0.29 (by "flashing" the device - see chapter 6 in https://jolla.com/sailfishxinstall/). Do not try to update your device over-the-air, as your existing device software was never meant to be used in F5122 devices. Flashing the device with update 2.2.0.29 now will ensure that it will work fine and that upcoming over-the-air updates can be installed successfully.
The new F5122 image is available from https://shop.jolla.com/downloads/ . Sign in with your Jolla account you used or purchasing the Sailfish X license.

Changelog
For detailed changelog, see https://together.jolla.com/question/184470/changelog-220-mouhijoki/
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 case of "Jolla Phone" devices (product name "Jolla" in Settings > About product).
If you have a Sony Xperia X dual SIM device (model F5122) running Sailfish X already, please install the first official F5122 image (update 2.2.0.29) by "flashing" the device - see chapter 6 in https://jolla.com/sailfishxinstall/. You can download this F5122 image from https://shop.jolla.com/downloads/ . Sign in with your Jolla account you used for purchasing the Sailfish X license.
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, visit Zendesk: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201836347
Notification concerning apps from Open Repos
- 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.
About SD cards
New path to sdcard: Symbolic link /media/sdcard/<uuid>/, actual path /run/media/nemo/<uuid>/
Please read our help article on SD cards supported by Sailfish OS: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201997993
Known issues
- Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances.
- Trouble with signing in to Dropbox account sometimes.
- Events View has been reported to remain empty in some cases.
Known issues specific to Xperia X
- There are few observations (being investigated) where mobile data cannot be easily turned on after device restart. In such a case force the device to Flight Mode momentarily and back to normal mode. This will reset the modem.
- [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 try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now.
- Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has helped. See our support article: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004283713
- Xperia X does not power up when alarm time has elapsed.
- Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The top most item is not necessarily the one that can serve you (still valid with most SIM cards).
- Bluetooth: Still problems with car equipment, some audio devices and computers.
- Waking up the device by double-tap does not work.
- Loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted high enough (but echo cancellation was added to the audio path in 2.1.4).
- Sensors:
- Not working: barometer, step counter.
- Compass working in Google Maps, not yet natively.
- Issues with video playback and video recording (less than before).
- FM radio missing.
- Even though all CPU cores get eventually enabled, foreground apps do not always run on the big cores.

[release notes] 2.2.0 / Mouhijoki [released]
This update, nicknamed Mouhijoki, introduces a new simpler single item view in Gallery and Camera app, adds fingerprint unlock support and emoji keyboard layout 😎👍👏. VPN and MDM have become more robust. Android Support has been updated for Xperia X and Jolla C devices. There are several improvements for Email app. Remorse timers can be swiped away to commit immediately. We have dropped continuous focus from Xperia X camera - the camera stays out of focus when it starts until you either tap or try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now. Last but not least Sailfish X now officially supports the Xperia X dual SIM phone (F5122).
Many thanks to you our active contributors for your feedback and proposals!

Release Highlights
This list contains examples of new features (and some bug fixes) added to SailfishOS compared to the previous release 2.1.4. The release notes of 2.1.4 can be found here: https://together.jolla.com/question/179223/release-notes-214-lapuanjoki/
Mouhijoki 2.2.0 adds the support for Sony Xperia X dual-SIM (model: F5122). Hence Sailfish X can be installed to this device, too. Renewed instructions for installing Sailfish OS to Sony Xperia X devices are here - covering Windows, Linux and Mac computers. The same instructions are valid for F5121 and F5122, however, there is a dedicated flashable image for each device model.
NOTE: If you have a Sony Xperia X dual SIM device (model F5122) running Sailfish X already,
please install the official F5122 image of this update 2.2.0.29 (by "flashing" the device - see chapter 6 in https://jolla.com/sailfishxinstall/). Do not try to update your device over-the-air, as your existing device software was never meant to be used in F5122 devices. Flashing the device with update 2.2.0.29 now will ensure that it will work fine and that upcoming over-the-air updates can be installed successfully.
The new F5122 image is available from https://shop.jolla.com/downloads/ . Sign in with your Jolla account you used or purchasing the Sailfish X license.

Changelog
For detailed changelog, see https://together.jolla.com/question/184470/changelog-220-mouhijoki/
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 case of "Jolla Phone" devices (product name "Jolla" in Settings > About product).
If you have a Sony Xperia X dual SIM device (model F5122) running Sailfish X already, please install the first official F5122 image (update 2.2.0.29) by "flashing" the device - see chapter 6 in https://jolla.com/sailfishxinstall/. You can download this F5122 image from https://shop.jolla.com/downloads/ . Sign in with your Jolla account you used for purchasing the Sailfish X license.
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, visit Zendesk: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201836347
Notification concerning apps from Open Repos
- 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.
About SD cards
New path to sdcard: Symbolic link /media/sdcard/<uuid>/, actual path /run/media/nemo/<uuid>/
Please read our help article on SD cards supported by Sailfish OS: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201997993
Known issues
- Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances.
- Trouble with signing in to Dropbox account sometimes.
- Events View has been reported to remain empty in some cases.
Known issues specific to Xperia X
- There are few observations (being investigated) where mobile data cannot be easily turned on after device restart. In such a case force the device to Flight Mode momentarily and back to normal mode. This will reset the modem.
- [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 try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now.
- Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has helped. See our support article: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004283713
- Xperia X does not power up when alarm time has elapsed.
- Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The top most item is not necessarily the one that can serve you (still valid with most SIM cards).
- Bluetooth: Still problems with car equipment, some audio devices and computers.
- Waking up the device by double-tap does not work.
- Loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted high enough (but echo cancellation was added to the audio path in 2.1.4).
- Sensors:
- Not working: barometer, step counter.
- Compass working in Google Maps, not yet natively.
- Issues with video playback and video recording (less than before).
- FM radio missing.
- Even though all CPU cores get eventually enabled, foreground apps do not always run on the big cores.

[release notes] 2.2.0 / Mouhijoki [released]
This update, nicknamed Mouhijoki, introduces a new simpler single item view in Gallery and Camera app, adds fingerprint unlock support and emoji keyboard layout 😎👍👏. VPN and MDM have become more robust. Android Support has been updated for Xperia X and Jolla C devices. There are several improvements for Email app. Remorse timers can be swiped away to commit immediately. We have dropped continuous focus from Xperia X camera - the camera stays out of focus when it starts until you either tap or try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now. Last but not least Sailfish X now officially supports the Xperia X dual SIM phone (F5122).

Release Highlights
This list contains examples of new features (and some bug fixes) added to SailfishOS compared to the previous release 2.1.4. The release notes of 2.1.4 can be found here: https://together.jolla.com/question/179223/release-notes-214-lapuanjoki/
Mouhijoki 2.2.0 adds the support for Sony Xperia X dual-SIM (model: F5122). Hence Sailfish X can be installed to this device, too. Renewed instructions for installing Sailfish OS to Sony Xperia X devices are here - covering Windows, Linux and Mac computers. The same instructions are valid for F5121 and F5122, however, there is a dedicated flashable image for each device model.
NOTE: If you have a Sony Xperia X dual SIM device (model F5122) running Sailfish X already,
please install the official F5122 image of this update 2.2.0.29 (by "flashing" the device - see chapter 6 in https://jolla.com/sailfishxinstall/). Do not try to update your device over-the-air, as your existing device software was never meant to be used in F5122 devices. Flashing the device with update 2.2.0.29 now will ensure that it will work fine and that upcoming over-the-air updates can be installed successfully.
The new F5122 image is available from https://shop.jolla.com/downloads/ . Sign in with your Jolla account you used or purchasing the Sailfish X license.

Changelog
For detailed changelog, see https://together.jolla.com/question/184470/changelog-220-mouhijoki/
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 case of "Jolla Phone" devices (product name "Jolla" in Settings > About product).
If you have a Sony Xperia X dual SIM device (model F5122) running Sailfish X already, please install the first official F5122 image (update 2.2.0.29) by "flashing" the device - see chapter 6 in https://jolla.com/sailfishxinstall/. You can download this F5122 image from https://shop.jolla.com/downloads/ . Sign in with your Jolla account you used for purchasing the Sailfish X license.
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, visit Zendesk: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201836347
Notification concerning apps from Open Repos
- 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.
About SD cards
New path to sdcard: Symbolic link /media/sdcard/<uuid>/, actual path /run/media/nemo/<uuid>/
Please read our help article on SD cards supported by Sailfish OS: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201997993.
Please update your File Browser app to version 1.7.2 (Jolla Store).
Known issues
- Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances.
- Trouble with signing in to Dropbox account sometimes.
- Events View has been reported to remain empty in some cases.
- Jolla Phone: clock alert is only played via headphones (if connected) - not at all via loudspeaker. This audio routing error may cause other sound-related problems, too. Apologies. Will be fixed to release 2.2.1.
Known issues specific to Xperia X
- There are few observations (being investigated) where mobile data cannot be easily turned on after device restart. In such a case force the device to Flight Mode momentarily and back to normal mode. This will reset the modem.
- [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 try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now.
- Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has helped. See our support article: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004283713
- Xperia X does not power up when alarm time has elapsed.
- Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The top most item is not necessarily the one that can serve you (still valid with most SIM cards).
- Bluetooth: Still problems with car equipment, some audio devices and computers.
- Waking up the device by double-tap does not work.
- Loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted high enough (but echo cancellation was added to the audio path in 2.1.4).
- Sensors:
- Not working: barometer, step counter.
- Compass working in Google Maps, not yet natively.
- Issues with video playback and video recording (less than before).
- FM radio missing.
- Even though all CPU cores get eventually enabled, foreground apps do not always run on the big cores.

- Jolla C from 2.1.4.14 to 2.2.0: about 400 MB
- Xperia X from 2.1.4.14 to 2.2.0: about 350 MB
NOTE: The download to Jolla 1, Jolla C and Jolla Tablet is known to be slow. Be patient and keep your device connected to a charger.
Release Highlights
This list contains examples of new features (and some bug fixes) added to SailfishOS compared to the previous release 2.1.4. The release notes of 2.1.4 can be found here: https://together.jolla.com/question/179223/release-notes-214-lapuanjoki/
Mouhijoki 2.2.0 adds the support for Sony Xperia X dual-SIM (model: F5122). Hence Sailfish X can be installed to this device, too. Renewed instructions for installing Sailfish OS to Sony Xperia X devices are here - covering Windows, Linux and Mac computers. The same instructions are valid for F5121 and F5122, however, there is a dedicated flashable image for each device model.
NOTE: If you have a Sony Xperia X dual SIM device (model F5122) running Sailfish X already,
please install the official F5122 image of this update 2.2.0.29 (by "flashing" the device - see chapter 6 in https://jolla.com/sailfishxinstall/). Do not try to update your device over-the-air, as your existing device software was never meant to be used in F5122 devices. Flashing the device with update 2.2.0.29 now will ensure that it will work fine and that upcoming over-the-air updates can be installed successfully.
The new F5122 image is available from https://shop.jolla.com/downloads/ . Sign in with your Jolla account you used or purchasing the Sailfish X license.

Changelog
For detailed changelog, see https://together.jolla.com/question/184470/changelog-220-mouhijoki/
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 case of "Jolla Phone" devices (product name "Jolla" in Settings > About product).
If you have a Sony Xperia X dual SIM device (model F5122) running Sailfish X already, please install the first official F5122 image (update 2.2.0.29) by "flashing" the device - see chapter 6 in https://jolla.com/sailfishxinstall/. You can download this F5122 image from https://shop.jolla.com/downloads/ . Sign in with your Jolla account you used for purchasing the Sailfish X license.
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.

Notification concerning apps from Open Repos
- 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.
About SD cards
New path to sdcard: Symbolic link /media/sdcard/<uuid>/, actual path /run/media/nemo/<uuid>/
Please read our help article on SD cards supported by Sailfish OS: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201997993.
Please update your File Browser app to version 1.7.2 (Jolla Store).
Known issues
- Please do not install Aptoide Store before Android Support as this may prevent installing the latter. Should this happen, fix the issue as follows:
devel-su; pkcon remove apkd-config-default; pkcon refresh. Then install Android Support. - Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances.
- Trouble with signing in to Dropbox account sometimes.
- Events View has been reported to remain empty in some cases.
- Jolla Phone: clock alert is only played via headphones (if connected) - not at all via loudspeaker. This audio routing error may cause other sound-related problems, too. Apologies. Will be fixed to release 2.2.1.
Known issues specific to Xperia X
- There are few observations (being investigated) where mobile data cannot be easily turned on after device restart. In such a case force the device to Flight Mode momentarily and back to normal mode. This will reset the modem.
- [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 try to take a shot - but the pictures seem to be better focused now.
- Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has helped. See our support article: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004283713
- Xperia X does not power up when alarm time has elapsed.
- Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The top most item is not necessarily the one that can serve you (still valid with most SIM cards).
- Bluetooth: Still problems with car equipment, some audio devices and computers.
- Waking up the device by double-tap does not work.
- Loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted high enough (but echo cancellation was added to the audio path in 2.1.4).
- Sensors:
- Not working: barometer, step counter.
- Compass working in Google Maps, not yet natively.
- Issues with video playback and video recording (less than before).
- FM radio missing.
- Even though all CPU cores get eventually enabled, foreground apps do not always run on the big cores.
