Revision history [back]

I just received my brand new Jolla yesterday. The first thing I tried to do was to update the software to the latest version but I ran into some trouble there:

1. The device does not pop up a notification about available updates. The device has been running and connected to WLAN for hours.

2. The Check for Updates option in the About product menu starts checking for updates: the line “Updates” reads “Checking...” and the circle keeps rolling around but nothing ever happens. The device has been in this state for hours.

3. I cannot activate the developer mode and try the “pkcon install store-client && pkill store-client” mentioned in various sources like [1] because also there the circle just keeps rolling and nothing ever happens. (I assume that it also tries to download some packages.)

The symptoms are very similar to what was described in http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=92087. However, my repos should be “sales” as I haven't been able to activate the developer mode (and at least I cannot access command line to run the specified commands). Time on my Jolla was a couple of minutes behind, so I manyally set it based on my PC's clock that is synced from internet ntp servers. Then I rebooted and tried checking for updates. No effect.

I have factory reset the device three times, and did nothing (except enabling and connecting to WLAN) prior to trying to check for updates. I initially tried checking for updates yesterday and then again today to make sure it's not about overloaded servers, etc.

I also tried static IP configuration including DNS server addresses. (This was mentioned somewhere on talk.maemo.org, I think.) No effect.

According to my firewall / router, the device does NOT even have any TCP nor UDP / IP sessions. The browser can connect to internet, and I can browse e.g. google.fi and hs.fi (and in this case my router does show TCP sessions with destination port 80). Also my laptop naturally has no issues connecting to internet through the same WLAN AP.

My OS version is 1.0.0.5, which it had out-of-the-box.

Is there a way to fix this myself, or do I just need to contact care@jolla.com?

P.S. In order to even get Jolla connected to WLAN, I had to turn off encryption (WPA2-PSK; and just use MAC address filtering to avoid making it wide open). With encryption, Jolla wouldn't connect at all. But this workaround is good enough until I get the Jolla OS updated.

According to my firewall / router, the device does NOT even have any TCP nor UDP / IP sessions. Also Jolla's data counters show 0/0 kB over WLAN. The browser can connect to internet, and I can browse e.g. google.fi and hs.fi (and in this case my router does show TCP sessions with destination port 80).
