• OpenVPN encrypted certificate password fixes
• User data encryption developed further and SELinux prepared for deployment
• Security fixes (CVEs) for dbus, expat, lua, openssh, patch, QualPwd, systemd.

Jolla appreciates collaborative efforts of its partners and community to make Sailfish OS even better.

Release Highlights

This list below contains examples of new features (and some bug fixes) added to Sailfish OS, compared to the previous public release 3.1.0. The release notes of 3.1.0 can be found here.

Xperia XA2

• Kernel updated to 4.4.189
• Sailfish OS 3.2.0 can be installed on Android 9 now (no need to downgrade to Android 8.1)

Accounts

• Dropbox: Migrated away from deprecated media info API
• If no accounts installed on device that support Presence, then Settings > Presence item is not shown

• Hardcoded /home/nemo/ removed from sailfishkeyprovider; home path read from $HOME environment variable now

• Android™ App Support for Xperia XA2 devices improved:

  • Sailfish OS can be installed on Android 9 now
  • Android Support (a.k.a. aliendalvik) updated to android-8.1.0_r65
  • Using the android.hardware.power service allowed. Makes different performance and low power modes possible
  • Using the android.hardware.memtrack service allowed. Helps in getting information about used hardware resources
  • Missing file browser added to make it possible for Android apps to share files by default
  • Mobile data works now also when one of the SIM cards (dual SIM devices) is disabled
  • Opening Android apps work better now
  • Period/comma characters added to Android keyboard; Enter key recognised now
  • Copying contacts from Sailfish to Android apps work smoothly now

Backup & Restore

• Backup service can now get the information on the available storage reliably. An API added to the PartitionModel to tell when external storages are populated.
• Legacy git-tree vault code and libraries removed as the more recent implementation does not use them

Battery & Charging

• Battery notification logic was rewritten to reduce the number of disturbing notifications

Bluetooth

• Support for different types of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices added, i.e. pairing and connections from Sailfish do work. However, using the devices requires a BLE application which we do not have. Android apps are lacking access to Sailfish Bluetooth service, still.

Browser

• Problems in accessing Twitter with Sailfish Browser fixed
• WebGL support fixed

Calendar

• Avoided forcing all calendars to be synced when making changes to one

Camera

• Showing the SD card as the target for saving pictures fixed

Clock

• Snooze interval is configurable now - see Settings > Apps > Clock
• Timers finally allow choosing seconds
• Pulley menu action added for reseting the saved timers to the beginning

Connectivity

• Edit view of WLAN connection extended with more enterprise EAP options
• Adding a WLAN network: Save button fixed
• Counters of mobile data fixed
• After turning flight mode off, the device can connect back to mobile data
• Swapping of SIM cards between the two slots does not disturb the subsequent connections.
• Polling interface statistics when all interfaces are down stopped
• OpenVPN encrypted certificate password dialogues and password use is fixed. VPNAgent is used for credential retrieval, an encrypted certificate password is not saved by VPNAgent.

Email

• OS name used instead of "Jolla" in default email signature

Documents

• Writing comments (annotations) to PDF files sometimes crashing Documents app fixed
• Calligra backend updated to the latest upstream, bringing in many bug fixes to displaying of office formats - Community contribution from Damien Caliste - thank you!

People

• Performance regression in contact search fixed
• Avoid duplicate empty fields in contact editor, one empty field is enough at a time

Phone

• Call reminder feature introduced
  • You can set reminder to call back when receiving an incoming call, or from call history
• Call ending dialog redesigned
  • If you end the call only non-blocking notification is shown
  • If the remote side disconnects a new system dialogue is shown with actions to call back, send message or add a reminder
• Incoming call now displays country of the caller if coming from abroad
• More than two emergency calls possible in a row, now
• An attempt was made to prevent calls from being accidentally held [Xperia X devices]. Proximity sensor utilization was tweaked to improve the reliability of in-call blanking behaviour. Unfortunately, this change also affects the Sneak Peek feature. Those users who have not experienced problems with in-call proximity blanking and wish to continue using Sneak Peek can revert back to the previous behaviour by executing mcetool --set-ps-on-demand=disabled from the command line.
• Call UX improvements are ongoing work with further improvements planned

Settings

• If no accounts installed on a device that supports Presence, then "Settings > Presence" item is not shown
• Snooze interval is configurable now - see "Settings > Apps > Clock"

SIM

• Swapping of SIM cards between the two slots does not disturb the subsequent connections

Security

• User data encryption (a.k.a. encryption of Home partition, disk encryption) developed further. However, this feature is in 3.2.0 only supported for freshly flashed corporate devices and will be deployed in upcoming Sailfish updates to consumer devices.
• Security framework SELinux being developed in the background, not yet ready. Vulnerabilities fixed:
• dbus 1.13.12: CVE-2019-12749, CVE-2015-0245
• expat 2.2.7: CVE-2015-1283, CVE-2016-0718, CVE-2016-4472, CVE-2016-5300, CVE-2012-6702, CVE-2017-9233, CVE-2016-9063

Technical changes

Changelog

Detailed changelog is kept here

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 post is important particularly in the 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 placeholder 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, read our help article in Zendesk.

NOTE: Sailfish OS does not support downgrading. Never try to downgrade the OS as this would brick your device.

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

• Encrypted cards must be unlocked by the user to make them available for the upcoming Sailfish applications.
• Non-encrypted cards are mounted automatically when the device is turned on.
• Encrypted cards can be formatted only when they are locked. Formatting removes the encryption in this case (the card becomes unencrypted and unmounted). You can then format it again with the option to encrypt, if needed.

Known issues - generic

• VPN does not work in case of Android apps
• Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances
• The chacha20-poly1305 cipher is not currently working, which is often chosen for SSH. It has been disabled in the sshd configuration file, but if you have manually modified it then it will not automatically update. You can ssh into your device using ssh -c aes128-ctr and check the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file against its rpmnew version if present.

Known issues specific to Xperia X

• Not implemented features: NFC, FM radio, double-tap, step counter
• Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Turn the Flight mode on and off to reset the network setup. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has often helped. See our support article.
• Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use an automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The topmost item is not necessarily the one that can serve you (still valid with most SIM cards)
• [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
• If a device is powered off alarms are not functional
• Bluetooth: problems with some car equipment, some audio devices and computers may appear
• The loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted very high
• Not all SD cards are recognized and mounted.

Known issues specific to Xperia XA2

• Not implemented features: FM radio, double-tap
• Bluetooth: there are problems in connecting to some peripheral devices
• XA2 does not power up when alarm time has elapsed
• Flashing Sailfish X to XA2 might still fail (so far seen to happen on Ubuntu 18.04 when using USB3 port). Please read this article.
• With v17B Sony vendor image we observed a decrease in the perceived signal strength of the 5GHz WLAN access points (investigations ongoing). Version v16 may work better in this respect. Therefore we would not recommend flashing v17B for the time being if you use WLAN networks in the 5GHz band. You can reflash the vendor image of your choice by following the instructions in here.
• Voice calls with Whatsapp are not usable as the voice volume level is minimal (if can be heard at all). This is expected to get fixed in the next OS release.
  update (3.2.1).

Known issues specific to Gemini PDA

• Gemini Screenshot Button Fn + X does not work
• Not possible to answer calls when Gemini is closed with side button
• Some 3rd party apps have issues in Landscape mode.

[ This post is intentionally in the private mode, awaiting the public roll out of OS release 3.2.0. ]

Changelog

Detailed changelog is kept here

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 the 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, read our help article in Zendesk.

NOTE: Sailfish OS does not support downgrading. Never try to downgrade the OS as this would brick your device.

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

• Encrypted cards must be unlocked by the user to make them available for Sailfish applications.
• Non-encrypted cards are mounted automatically when the device is turned on.
• Encrypted cards can be formatted only when they are locked. Formatting removes the encryption in this case (the card becomes unencrypted and unmounted). You can then format it again with the option to encrypt, if needed.

Known issues - generic

• VPN does not work in case of Android apps
• Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances
• The chacha20-poly1305 cipher is not currently working, which is often chosen for SSH. It has been disabled in the sshd configuration file, but if you have manually modified it then it will not automatically update. You can ssh into your device using ssh -c aes128-ctr and check the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file against its rpmnew version if present.

Known issues specific to Xperia X

• Not implemented features: NFC, FM radio, double-tap, step counter
• Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Turn the Flight mode on and off to reset the network setup. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has often helped. See our support article.
• Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use an automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The topmost item is not necessarily the one that can serve you (still valid with most SIM cards)
• [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
• If a device is powered off alarms are not functional
• Bluetooth: problems with some car equipment, some audio devices and computers may appear
• The loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted very high
• Not all SD cards are recognized and mounted.

Known issues specific to Xperia XA2

• Not implemented features: FM radio, double-tap
• Bluetooth: there are problems in connecting to some peripheral devices
• XA2 does not power up when alarm time has elapsed
• Flashing Sailfish X to XA2 might still fail (so far seen to happen on Ubuntu 18.04 when using USB3 port). Please read this article.
• With v17B Sony vendor image we observed a decrease in the perceived signal strength of the 5GHz WLAN access points (investigations ongoing). Version v16 may work better in this respect. Therefore we would not recommend flashing v17B for the time being if you use WLAN networks in the 5GHz band. You can reflash the vendor image of your choice by following the instructions in here.
• Voice calls with Whatsapp are not usable as the voice volume level is minimal (if can be heard at all). This is expected to get fixed in the next OS update (3.2.1).

Known issues specific to Gemini PDA

• Gemini Screenshot Button Fn + X does not work
• Not possible to answer calls when Gemini is closed with side button
• Some 3rd party apps have issues in Landscape mode.

[ This post is intentionally in the private mode, awaiting the public roll out of OS release 3.2.0. ]

Many thanks to you our active contributors for your feedback and proposals.

• Security fixes (CVEs) for dbus, expat, lua, openssh, patch, QualPwd, systemd.

Jolla appreciates collaborative efforts of its partners and community to make Sailfish OS even better.

Release Highlights

This list below contains examples of new features (and some bug fixes) added to Sailfish OS, compared to the previous public release 3.1.0. The release notes of 3.1.0 can be found here.

Xperia XA2

• Kernel updated to 4.4.189
• Sailfish OS 3.2.0 can be installed on Android 9 now (no need to downgrade to Android 8.1)

Accounts

• Dropbox: Migrated away from deprecated media info API
• If no accounts installed on device that support Presence, then Settings > Presence item is not shown

• Hardcoded /home/nemo/ removed from sailfishkeyprovider; home path read from $HOME environment variable now

• Android™ App Support for Xperia XA2 devices improved:

  • Sailfish OS can be installed on Android 9 now
  • Android Support (a.k.a. aliendalvik) updated to android-8.1.0_r65
  • Using the android.hardware.power service allowed. Makes different performance and low power modes possible
  • Using the android.hardware.memtrack service allowed. Helps in getting information about used hardware resources
  • Missing file browser added to make it possible for Android apps to share files by default
  • Mobile data works now also when one of the SIM cards (dual SIM devices) is disabled
  • Opening Android apps work better now
  • Period/comma characters added to Android keyboard; Enter key recognised now
  • Copying contacts from Sailfish to Android apps work smoothly now

Backup & Restore

• Backup service can now get the information on the available storage reliably. An API added to the PartitionModel to tell when external storages are populated.
• Legacy git-tree vault code and libraries removed as the more recent implementation does not use them

Battery & Charging

• Battery notification logic was rewritten to reduce the number of disturbing notifications

Bluetooth

• Support for different types of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices added, i.e. pairing and connections from Sailfish do work. However, using the devices requires a BLE application which we do not have. Android apps are lacking access to Sailfish Bluetooth service, still.

Browser

• Problems in accessing Twitter with Sailfish Browser fixed
• WebGL support fixed

Calendar

• Avoided forcing all calendars to be synced when making changes to one

Camera

• Showing the SD card as the target for saving pictures fixed

Clock

• Snooze interval is configurable now - see Settings > Apps > Clock
• Timers finally allow choosing seconds
• Pulley menu action added for reseting the saved timers to the beginning

Connectivity

• Edit view of WLAN connection extended with more enterprise EAP options
• Adding a WLAN network: Save button fixed
• Counters of mobile data fixed
• After turning flight mode off, the device can connect back to mobile data
• Swapping of SIM cards between the two slots does not disturb the subsequent connections.
• Polling interface statistics when all interfaces are down stopped
• OpenVPN encrypted certificate password dialogues and password use is fixed. VPNAgent is used for credential retrieval, an encrypted certificate password is not saved by VPNAgent.

Email

• OS name used instead of "Jolla" in default email signature

Documents

• Writing comments (annotations) to PDF files sometimes crashing Documents app fixed
• Calligra backend updated to the latest upstream, bringing in many bug fixes to displaying of office formats - Community contribution from Damien Caliste - thank you!

People

• Performance regression in contact search fixed
• Avoid duplicate empty fields in contact editor, one empty field is enough at a time

Phone

• Call reminder feature introduced
  • You can set reminder to call back when receiving an incoming call, or from call history
• Call ending dialog redesigned
  • If you end the call only non-blocking notification is shown
  • If the remote side disconnects a new system dialogue is shown with actions to call back, send message or add a reminder
• Incoming call now displays country of the caller if coming from abroad
• More than two emergency calls possible in a row, now
• An attempt was made to prevent calls from being accidentally held [Xperia X devices]. Proximity sensor utilization was tweaked to improve the reliability of in-call blanking behaviour. Unfortunately, this change also affects the Sneak Peek feature. Those users who have not experienced problems with in-call proximity blanking and wish to continue using Sneak Peek can revert back to the previous behaviour by executing mcetool --set-ps-on-demand=disabled from the command line.
• Call UX improvements are ongoing work with further improvements planned

Settings

• If no accounts installed on a device that supports Presence, then "Settings > Presence" item is not shown
• Snooze interval is configurable now - see "Settings > Apps > Clock"

SIM

• Swapping of SIM cards between the two slots does not disturb the subsequent connections

Security

• User data encryption (a.k.a. encryption of Home partition, disk encryption) developed further. However, this feature is in 3.2.0 only supported for freshly flashed corporate devices and will be deployed in upcoming Sailfish updates to consumer devices.
• Security framework SELinux being developed in the background, not yet ready. Vulnerabilities fixed:
• dbus 1.13.12: CVE-2019-12749, CVE-2015-0245
• expat 2.2.7: CVE-2015-1283, CVE-2016-0718, CVE-2016-4472, CVE-2016-5300, CVE-2012-6702, CVE-2017-9233, CVE-2016-9063

  • Android Support (a.k.a. aliendalvik) updated to android-8.1.0_r65
  • Using the android.hardware.power service allowed. Makes different performance and low power modes possible
  • Using the android.hardware.memtrack service allowed. Helps in getting information about used hardware resources
  • Missing file browser added to make it possible for Android apps to share files by default
  • Mobile data works now also when one of the SIM cards (dual SIM devices) is disabled
  • Opening Android apps work better now
  • Period/comma characters added to Android keyboard; Enter key recognised now
  • Copying contacts from Sailfish to Android apps work smoothly now

Backup & Restore

• Backup service can now get the information on the available storage reliably. An API added to the PartitionModel to tell when external storages are populated.
• Legacy git-tree vault code and libraries removed as the more recent implementation does not use them

Battery & Charging

• Battery notification logic was rewritten to reduce the number of disturbing notifications

Bluetooth

• Support for different types of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices added, i.e. pairing and connections from Sailfish do work. However, using the devices requires a BLE application which we do not have. Android apps are lacking access to Sailfish Bluetooth service, still.

Browser

• Problems in accessing Twitter with Sailfish Browser fixed
• WebGL support fixed

Calendar

• Avoided forcing all calendars to be synced when making changes to one

Camera

• Showing the SD card as the target for saving pictures fixed

Clock

• Snooze interval is configurable now - see Settings > Apps > Clock
• Timers finally allow choosing seconds
• Pulley menu action added for reseting the saved timers to the beginning

Connectivity

• Edit view of WLAN connection extended with more enterprise EAP options
• Adding a WLAN network: Save button fixed
• Counters of mobile data fixed
• After turning flight mode off, the device can connect back to mobile data
• Swapping of SIM cards between the two slots does not disturb the subsequent connections.
• Polling interface statistics when all interfaces are down stopped
• OpenVPN encrypted certificate password dialogues and password use is fixed. VPNAgent is used for credential retrieval, an encrypted certificate password is not saved by VPNAgent.

Email

• OS name used instead of "Jolla" in default email signature

Documents

• Writing comments (annotations) to PDF files sometimes crashing Documents app fixed
• Calligra backend updated to the latest upstream, bringing in many bug fixes to displaying of office formats - Community contribution from Damien Caliste - thank you!

People

• Performance regression in contact search fixed
• Avoid duplicate empty fields in contact editor, one empty field is enough at a time

Phone

• Call reminder feature introduced
  • You can set reminder to call back when receiving an incoming call, or from call history
• Call ending dialog redesigned
  • If you end the call only non-blocking notification is shown
  • If the remote side disconnects a new system dialogue is shown with actions to call back, send message or add a reminder
• Incoming call now displays country of the caller if coming from abroad
• More than two emergency calls possible in a row, now
• An attempt was made to prevent calls from being accidentally held [Xperia X devices]. Proximity sensor utilization was tweaked to improve the reliability of in-call blanking behaviour. Unfortunately, this change also affects the Sneak Peek feature. Those users who have not experienced problems with in-call proximity blanking and wish to continue using Sneak Peek can revert back to the previous behaviour by executing mcetool --set-ps-on-demand=disabled from the command line.
• Call UX improvements are ongoing work with further improvements planned

Settings

• If no accounts installed on a device that supports Presence, then "Settings > Presence" item is not shown
• Snooze interval is configurable now - see "Settings > Apps > Clock"

SIM

• Swapping of SIM cards between the two slots does not disturb the subsequent connections

Security

• User data encryption (a.k.a. encryption of Home partition, disk encryption) developed further. However, this feature is in 3.2.0 only supported for freshly flashed corporate devices and will be deployed in upcoming Sailfish updates to consumer devices.
• Security framework SELinux being developed in the background, not yet ready. Vulnerabilities fixed:
• dbus 1.13.12: CVE-2019-12749, CVE-2015-0245
• expat 2.2.7: CVE-2015-1283, CVE-2016-0718, CVE-2016-4472, CVE-2016-5300, CVE-2012-6702, CVE-2017-9233, CVE-2016-9063

Changelog

Detailed changelog is kept here

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 the 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, read our help article in Zendesk.

NOTE: Sailfish OS does not support downgrading. Never try to downgrade the OS as this would brick your device.

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

• Encrypted cards must be unlocked by the user to make them available for Sailfish applications.
• Non-encrypted cards are mounted automatically when the device is turned on.
• Encrypted cards can be formatted only when they are locked. Formatting removes the encryption in this case (the card becomes unencrypted and unmounted). You can then format it again with the option to encrypt, if needed.

Known issues - generic

• VPN does not work in case of Android apps
• Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances
• The chacha20-poly1305 cipher is not currently working, which is often chosen for SSH. It has been disabled in the sshd configuration file, but if you have manually modified it then it will not automatically update. You can ssh into your device using ssh -c aes128-ctr and check the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file against its rpmnew version if present.

Known issues specific to Xperia X

• Not implemented features: NFC, FM radio, double-tap, step counter
• Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Turn the Flight mode on and off to reset the network setup. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has often helped. See our support article.
• Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use an automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The topmost item is not necessarily the one that can serve you (still valid with most SIM cards)
• [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
• If a device is powered off alarms are not functional
• Bluetooth: problems with some car equipment, some audio devices and computers may appear
• The loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted very high
• Not all SD cards are recognized and mounted.

Known issues specific to Xperia XA2

• Not implemented features: FM radio, double-tap
• Bluetooth: there are problems in connecting to some peripheral devices
• XA2 does not power up when alarm time has elapsed
• Flashing Sailfish X to XA2 might still fail (so far seen to happen on Ubuntu 18.04 when using USB3 port). Please read this article.
• With v17B Sony vendor image we observed a decrease in the perceived signal strength of the 5GHz WLAN access points (investigations ongoing). Version v16 may work better in this respect. Therefore we would not recommend flashing v17B for the time being if you use WLAN networks in the 5GHz band. You can reflash the vendor image of your choice by following the instructions in here.
• Voice calls with Whatsapp are not usable as the voice volume level is minimal (if can be heard at all). This is expected to get fixed in the next OS update (3.2.1)
• Video playback in Whatsapp requires special actions: 1) Tap on video 2) Tap the share button (top right) 3) Tap back arrow 4) Tap Play on the video. Now it starts playing...
• Pictures/videos on SD card are not visible to Android apps.

Known issues specific to Gemini PDA

• Gemini Screenshot Button Fn + X does not work
• Not possible to answer calls when Gemini is closed with side button
• Some 3rd party apps have issues in Landscape mode.

[ This post is intentionally in the private mode, awaiting the public roll out of OS release 3.2.0. ]

Many thanks to you our active contributors for your feedback and proposals.

Here are some of the key contributions and features developed with OMP's support:

• Phone redesigns and improvements: Call reminder feature introduced, Incoming call showing country for foreign calls, Call ending dialogue redesigned. These designs were done in co-operation of Jolla and OMP.
• File Manager shows the folder size, and an error message was added for file and folder name conflicts
• Ability to customize OS name
• Added support for different types of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices
• Battery notifications improved to reduce unnecessary notifications
• More enterprise EAP options for WLAN connections
• OpenVPN encrypted certificate password fixes
• User data encryption developed further and SELinux prepared for deployment
• Security fixes (CVEs) for dbus, expat, lua, openssh, patch, QualPwd, systemd.

Jolla appreciates collaborative efforts of its partners and community to make Sailfish OS even better.

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, read our help article in Zendesk.

NOTE: Sailfish OS does not support downgrading. Never try to downgrade the OS as this would brick your device.

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

• Encrypted cards must be unlocked by the user to make them available for Sailfish applications.
• Non-encrypted cards are mounted automatically when the device is turned on.
• Encrypted cards can be formatted only when they are locked. Formatting removes the encryption in this case (the card becomes unencrypted and unmounted). You can then format it again with the option to encrypt, if needed.

Known issues - generic

• VPN does not work in case of Android apps
• Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances
• The chacha20-poly1305 cipher is not currently working, which is often chosen for SSH. It has been disabled in the sshd configuration file, but if you have manually modified it then it will not automatically update. You can ssh into your device using ssh -c aes128-ctr and check the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file against its rpmnew version if present.

Known issues specific to Xperia X

• Not implemented features: NFC, FM radio, double-tap, step counter
• Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Turn the Flight mode on and off to reset the network setup. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has often helped. See our support article.
• Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use an automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The topmost item is not necessarily the one that can serve you (still valid with most SIM cards)
• [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
• If a device is powered off alarms are not functional
• Bluetooth: problems with some car equipment, some audio devices and computers may appear
• The loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted very high
• Not all SD cards are recognized and mounted.

Known issues specific to Xperia XA2

• Not implemented features: FM radio, double-tap
• Bluetooth: there are problems in connecting to some peripheral devices
• XA2 does not power up when alarm time has elapsed
• Flashing Sailfish X to XA2 might still fail (so far seen to happen on Ubuntu 18.04 when using USB3 port). Please read this article.
• With v17B Sony vendor image we observed a decrease in the perceived signal strength of the 5GHz WLAN access points (investigations ongoing). Version v16 may work better in this respect. Therefore we would not recommend flashing v17B for the time being if you use WLAN networks in the 5GHz band. You can reflash the vendor image of your choice by following the instructions in here.
• Voice calls with Whatsapp are not usable as the voice volume level is minimal (if can be heard at all). This is expected to get fixed in the next OS update (3.2.1)(3.2.1). (This should get fixed with OS release 3.2.1 "Nuuksio")
• Video playback in Whatsapp requires special actions: 1) Tap on video 2) Tap the share button (top right) 3) Tap back arrow 4) Tap Play on the video. Now it starts playing...
• Pictures/videos on SD card are not visible to Android apps.

Known issues specific to Gemini PDA

• Gemini Screenshot Button Fn + X does not work
• Not possible to answer calls when Gemini is closed with side button
• Some 3rd party apps have issues in Landscape mode.

[ This post is intentionally in the private mode, awaiting the public roll out of OS release 3.2.0. ]

Release Highlights

This list below contains examples of new features (and some bug fixes) added to Sailfish OS, compared to the previous public release 3.1.0. The release notes of 3.1.0 can be found here.

Xperia XA2

• Kernel updated to 4.4.189
• Sailfish OS 3.2.0 can be installed on Android 9 now (no need to downgrade to Android 8.1)

Accounts

• Dropbox: Migrated away from deprecated media info API
• If no accounts installed on device that support Presence, then Settings > Presence item is not shown

• Hardcoded /home/nemo/ removed from sailfishkeyprovider; home path read from $HOME environment variable now

Android™ App Support

• Android™ App Support for Xperia XA2 devices improved:
  improved
  • Sailfish OS can be installed on Android 9 now
  • Android Support (a.k.a. aliendalvik) updated to android-8.1.0_r65
  • Using the android.hardware.power service allowed. Makes different performance and low power modes possible
  • Using the android.hardware.memtrack service allowed. Helps in getting information about used hardware resources

  • Opening Android apps work better now
  • Period/comma characters added to Android keyboard; Enter key recognised now
  • Copying contacts from Sailfish to Android apps work smoothly now

Backup & Restore

• Backup service can now get the information on the available storage reliably. An API added to the PartitionModel to tell when external storages are populated.
• Legacy git-tree vault code and libraries removed as the more recent implementation does not use them

Battery & Charging

• Battery notification logic was rewritten to reduce the number of disturbing notifications

Bluetooth

• Support for different types of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices added, i.e. pairing and connections from Sailfish do work. However, using the devices requires a BLE application which we do not have. Android apps are lacking access to Sailfish Bluetooth service, still.

Browser

• Problems in accessing Twitter with Sailfish Browser fixed
• WebGL support fixed

Calendar

• Avoided forcing all calendars to be synced when making changes to one

Camera

• Showing the SD card as the target for saving pictures fixed

Clock

• Snooze interval is configurable now - see Settings > Apps > Clock
• Timers finally allow choosing seconds
• Pulley menu action added for reseting the saved timers to the beginning

Connectivity

• Edit view of WLAN connection extended with more enterprise EAP options
• Adding a WLAN network: Save button fixed
• Counters of mobile data fixed
• After turning flight mode off, the device can connect back to mobile data
• Swapping of SIM cards between the two slots does not disturb the subsequent connections.
• Polling interface statistics when all interfaces are down stopped

• Avoid duplicate empty fields in contact editor, one empty field is enough at a time

Phone

• Call reminder feature introduced
  • You can set reminder to call back when receiving an incoming call, or from call history
• Call ending dialog redesigned
  • If you end the call only non-blocking notification is shown
  • If the remote side disconnects a new system dialogue is shown with actions to call back, send message or add a reminder
• Incoming call now displays country of the caller if coming from abroad
• More than two emergency calls possible in a row, now
• An attempt was made to prevent calls from being accidentally held [Xperia X devices]. Proximity sensor utilization was tweaked to improve the reliability of in-call blanking behaviour. Unfortunately, this change also affects the Sneak Peek feature. Those users who have not experienced problems with in-call proximity blanking and wish to continue using Sneak Peek can revert back to the previous behaviour by executing mcetool --set-ps-on-demand=disabled from the command line.
• Call UX improvements are ongoing work with further improvements planned

Settings

• If no accounts installed on a device that supports Presence, then "Settings > Presence" item is not shown
• Snooze interval is configurable now - see "Settings > Apps > Clock"

SIM

• Swapping of SIM cards between the two slots does not disturb the subsequent connections

Changelog

Detailed changelog is kept here

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 the 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.

Those users who have not experienced problems with in-call proximity blanking and wish to continue using Sneak Peek can revert back to the previous behaviour by executing mcetool --set-ps-on-demand=disabled from the command line.
• Call UX improvements are ongoing work with further improvements planned

Settings

• If no accounts installed on a device that supports Presence, then "Settings > Presence" item is not shown
• Snooze interval is configurable now - see "Settings > Apps > Clock"

SIM

• Swapping of SIM cards between the two slots does not disturb the subsequent connections

Security

• User data encryption (a.k.a. encryption of Home partition, disk encryption) developed further. However, this feature is in 3.2.0 only supported for freshly flashed corporate devices and will be deployed in upcoming Sailfish updates to consumer devices.
• Security framework SELinux being developed in the background, not yet ready. Vulnerabilities fixed:
• dbus 1.13.12: CVE-2019-12749, CVE-2015-0245
• expat 2.2.7: CVE-2015-1283, CVE-2016-0718, CVE-2016-4472, CVE-2016-5300, CVE-2012-6702, CVE-2017-9233, CVE-2016-9063

Technical changes

Changelog

Detailed changelog is kept here

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 the 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, read our help article in Zendesk.

NOTE: Sailfish OS does not support downgrading. Never try to downgrade the OS as this would brick your device.

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

• Encrypted cards must be unlocked by the user to make them available for Sailfish applications.
• Non-encrypted cards are mounted automatically when the device is turned on.
• Encrypted cards can be formatted only when they are locked. Formatting removes the encryption in this case (the card becomes unencrypted and unmounted). You can then format it again with the option to encrypt, if needed.

Known issues - generic

• VPN does not work in case of Android apps
• Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances
• The chacha20-poly1305 cipher is not currently working, which is often chosen for SSH. It has been disabled in the sshd configuration file, but if you have manually modified it then it will not automatically update. You can ssh into your device using ssh -c aes128-ctr and check the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file against its rpmnew version if present.

Known issues specific to Xperia X

• Not implemented features: NFC, FM radio, double-tap, step counter
• Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Turn the Flight mode on and off to reset the network setup. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has often helped. See our support article.
• Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use an automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The topmost item is not necessarily the one that can serve you (still valid with most SIM cards)
• [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
• If a device is powered off alarms are not functional
• Bluetooth: problems with some car equipment, some audio devices and computers may appear
• The loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted very high
• Not all SD cards are recognized and mounted.

Known issues specific to Xperia XA2

• Not implemented features: FM radio, double-tap
• Bluetooth: there are problems in connecting to some peripheral devices
• XA2 does not power up when alarm time has elapsed
• Flashing Sailfish X to XA2 might still fail (so far seen to happen on Ubuntu 18.04 when using USB3 port). Please read this article.
• With v17B Sony vendor image we observed a decrease in the perceived signal strength of the 5GHz WLAN access points (investigations ongoing). Version v16 may work better in this respect. Therefore we would not recommend flashing v17B for the time being if you use WLAN networks in the 5GHz band. You can reflash the vendor image of your choice by following the instructions in here.
• Voice calls with Whatsapp are not usable as the voice volume level is minimal (if can be heard at all). This is expected to get fixed in the next OS update (3.2.1). (This should get fixed with OS release 3.2.1 "Nuuksio")
• Video playback in Whatsapp requires special actions: 1) Tap on video 2) Tap the share button (top right) 3) Tap back arrow 4) Tap Play on the video. Now it starts playing...
• Pictures/videos on SD card are not visible to Android apps.

Known issues specific to Gemini PDA

• Gemini Screenshot Button Fn + X does not work
• Not possible to answer calls when Gemini is closed with side button
• Some 3rd party apps have issues in Landscape mode.

[ This post is intentionally in the private mode, awaiting the public roll out of OS release 3.2.0. ]

Many thanks to you our active contributors for your feedback and 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
• If a device is powered off alarms are not functional
• Bluetooth: problems with some car equipment, some audio devices and computers may appear
• The loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted very high
• Not all SD cards are recognized and mounted.

Known issues specific to Xperia XA2

• Not implemented features: FM radio, double-tap
• Bluetooth: there are problems in connecting to some peripheral devices
• XA2 does not power up when alarm time has elapsed
• Flashing Sailfish X to XA2 might still fail (so far seen to happen on Ubuntu 18.04 when using USB3 port). Please read this article.
• With v17B Sony vendor image we observed a decrease in the perceived signal strength of the 5GHz WLAN access points (investigations ongoing). Version v16 may work better in this respect. Therefore we would not recommend flashing v17B for the time being if you use WLAN networks in the 5GHz band. You can reflash the vendor image of your choice by following the instructions in here.
• Voice calls with Whatsapp are not usable as the voice volume level is minimal (if can be heard at all). This is expected to get fixed in the next OS update (3.2.1). (This should get fixed with OS release 3.2.1 "Nuuksio")
• Video playback in Whatsapp requires special actions: 1) Tap on video 2) Tap the share button (top right) 3) Tap back arrow 4) Tap Play on the video. Now it starts playing...
• Pictures/videos on SD card are not visible to Android apps.

Known issues specific to Gemini PDA

• Gemini Screenshot Button Fn + X does not work
• Not possible to answer calls when Gemini is closed with side button
• Some 3rd party apps have issues in Landscape mode.

[ This post is intentionally in the private mode, awaiting the public roll out of OS release 3.2.0. ]

Release Highlights

This list below contains examples of new features (and some bug fixes) added to Sailfish OS, compared to the previous public release 3.1.0. The release notes of 3.1.0 can be found here.

Xperia XA2

• Kernel updated to 4.4.189
• Sailfish OS 3.2.0 can be installed on Android 9 now (no need to downgrade to Android 8.1)

Accounts

• Dropbox: Migrated away from deprecated media info API
• If no accounts installed on a device that support supports Presence, then Settings > Presence item is not shown
• Hardcoded /home/nemo/ removed from sailfishkeyprovider; home path read from $HOME environment variable now

Android™ App Support

• Android™ App Support for Xperia XA2 devices improved
  • Sailfish OS can be installed on Android 9 now
  • Android Support (a.k.a. aliendalvik) updated to android-8.1.0_r65
  • Using the android.hardware.power service allowed. Makes different performance and low power modes possible
  • Using the android.hardware.memtrack service allowed. Helps in getting information about used hardware resources
  • Missing file browser added to make it possible for Android apps to share files by default
  • Mobile data works now also when one of the SIM cards (dual SIM devices) is disabled
  • Opening Android apps work better now
  • Period/comma characters added to Android keyboard; Enter key recognised now
  • Copying contacts from Sailfish to Android apps work smoothly now. Out-of-memory loop eliminated.
  • Android keyboard pops up reliably

Backup & Restore

• Backup service can now get the information on the available storage reliably. An API added to the PartitionModel to tell when external storages are populated.
• Legacy git-tree vault code and libraries removed as the more recent implementation does not use them

Battery & Charging

• Battery notification logic was rewritten to reduce the number of disturbing notifications

Bluetooth

• Support for different types of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices added, i.e. pairing and connections from Sailfish do work. However, using the devices requires a BLE application which we do not have. Android apps are lacking access to Sailfish Bluetooth service, still.

Browser

• Problems in accessing Twitter with Sailfish Browser fixed
• WebGL support fixed

Calendar

• Avoided forcing all calendars to be synced when making changes to one

Camera

• Showing the SD card as the target for saving pictures fixed

Clock

• Snooze interval is configurable now - see Settings > Apps > Clock
• Timers finally allow choosing seconds
• Pulley menu action added for reseting the saved timers to the beginning

Connectivity

• Edit view of WLAN connection extended with more enterprise EAP options
• Adding a WLAN network: Save button fixed
• Counters of mobile data fixed
• After turning flight mode off, the device can connect back to mobile data
• Swapping of SIM cards between the two slots does not disturb the subsequent connections.
• Polling interface statistics when all interfaces are down stopped
• OpenVPN encrypted certificate password dialogues and password use is fixed. VPNAgent is used for credential retrieval, an encrypted certificate password is not saved by VPNAgent.

Email

• OS name used instead of "Jolla" in default email signature

Documents

• Writing comments (annotations) to PDF files sometimes crashing Documents app fixed
• Calligra backend updated to the latest upstream, bringing in many bug fixes to displaying of office formats - Community contribution from Damien Caliste - thank you!

People

• Performance regression in contact search fixed
• Avoid duplicate empty fields in contact editor, one empty field is enough at a time

Phone

• Call reminder feature introduced
  • You can set reminder to call back when receiving an incoming call, or from call history
• Call ending dialog redesigned
  • If you end the call only non-blocking notification is shown
  • If the remote side disconnects a new system dialogue is shown with actions to call back, send message or add a reminder
• Incoming call now displays country of the caller if coming from abroad
• More than two emergency calls possible in a row, now
• An attempt was made to prevent calls from being accidentally held [Xperia X devices]. Proximity sensor utilization was tweaked to improve the reliability of in-call blanking behaviour. Unfortunately, this change also affects the Sneak Peek feature. Those users who have not experienced problems with in-call proximity blanking and wish to continue using Sneak Peek can revert back to the previous behaviour by executing mcetool --set-ps-on-demand=disabled from the command line.
• Call UX improvements are ongoing work with further improvements planned

Settings

• If no accounts installed on a device that supports Presence, then "Settings > Presence" item is not shown
• Snooze interval is configurable now - see "Settings > Apps > Clock"

SIM

• Swapping of SIM cards between the two slots does not disturb the subsequent connections

Security

• User data encryption (a.k.a. encryption of Home partition, disk encryption) developed further. However, this feature is in 3.2.0 only supported for freshly flashed corporate devices and will be deployed in upcoming Sailfish updates to consumer devices.

Technical changes

Changelog

Detailed changelog is kept here

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 the 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, read our help article in Zendesk.

NOTE: Sailfish OS does not support downgrading. Never try to downgrade the OS as this would brick your device.

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

• Encrypted cards must be unlocked by the user to make them available for Sailfish applications.
• Non-encrypted cards are mounted automatically when the device is turned on.
• Encrypted cards can be formatted only when they are locked. Formatting removes the encryption in this case (the card becomes unencrypted and unmounted). You can then format it again with the option to encrypt, if needed.

Known issues - generic

• VPN does not work in case of Android apps
• Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances
• The chacha20-poly1305 cipher is not currently working, which is often chosen for SSH. It has been disabled in the sshd configuration file, but if you have manually modified it then it will not automatically update. You can ssh into your device using ssh -c aes128-ctr and check the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file against its rpmnew version if present.

Known issues specific to Xperia X

• Not implemented features: NFC, FM radio, double-tap, step counter
• Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Turn the Flight mode on and off to reset the network setup. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has often helped. See our support article.
• Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use an automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The topmost item is not necessarily the one that can serve you (still valid with most SIM cards)
• [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
• If a device is powered off alarms are not functional
• Bluetooth: problems with some car equipment, some audio devices and computers may appear
• The loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted very high
• Not all SD cards are recognized and mounted.

Changelog

Detailed changelog is kept here

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 the 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, read our help article in Zendesk.

NOTE: Sailfish OS does not support downgrading. Never try to downgrade the OS as this would brick your device.

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

• Encrypted cards must be unlocked by the user to make them available for Sailfish applications.
• Non-encrypted cards are mounted automatically when the device is turned on.
• Encrypted cards can be formatted only when they are locked. Formatting removes the encryption in this case (the card becomes unencrypted and unmounted). You can then format it again with the option to encrypt, if needed.

Known issues - generic

• VPN does not work in case of Android apps
• Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances
• The chacha20-poly1305 cipher is not currently working, which is often chosen for SSH. It has been disabled in the sshd configuration file, but if you have manually modified it then it will not automatically update. You can ssh into your device using ssh -c aes128-ctr and check the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file against its rpmnew version if present.

Known issues specific to Xperia X

• Not implemented features: NFC, FM radio, double-tap, step counter
• Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Turn the Flight mode on and off to reset the network setup. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has often helped. See our support article.
• Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use an automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The topmost item is not necessarily the one that can serve you (still valid with most SIM cards)
• [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
• If a device is powered off alarms are not functional
• Bluetooth: problems with some car equipment, some audio devices and computers may appear
• The loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted very high
• Not all SD cards are recognized and mounted.

Known issues specific to Xperia XA2

• Not implemented features: FM radio, double-tap
• Bluetooth: there are problems in connecting to some peripheral devices
• XA2 does not power up when alarm time has elapsed
• Flashing Sailfish X to XA2 might still fail (so far seen to happen on Ubuntu 18.04 when using USB3 port). Please read this article.
• With v17B Sony vendor image we observed a decrease in the perceived signal strength of the 5GHz WLAN access points (investigations ongoing). Version v16 may work better in this respect. Therefore we would not recommend flashing v17B for the time being if you use WLAN networks in the 5GHz band. You can reflash the vendor image of your choice by following the instructions in here.
• Voice calls with Whatsapp are not usable as the voice volume level is minimal (if can be heard at all). This is expected to get fixed in the next OS update (3.2.1). (This should get fixed with OS release 3.2.1 "Nuuksio")
• Video playback in Whatsapp requires special actions: 1) Tap on video 2) Tap the share button (top right) 3) Tap back arrow 4) Tap Play on the video. Now it starts playing...
• Pictures/videos on SD card are not visible to Android apps.

Known issues specific to Gemini PDA

• Gemini Screenshot Button Fn + X does not work
• Not possible to answer calls when Gemini is closed with side button
• Some 3rd party apps have issues in Landscape mode.

Many thanks to you our active contributors for your feedback and proposals.

• Support for Active Sync out of office reminders
• File Manager shows the folder size, and an error message was added for file and folder name conflicts
• Ability to customize OS name and use customized name for example used in the default email signature
• More enterprise EAP options are supported for WLAN connections
• OpenVPN encrypted certificate password fixes
• User data encryption developed further and SELinux prepared for deployment
• Security fixes (CVEs) for dbus, expat, lua, openssh, patch, QualPwd, systemd
• Added support for different types of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices
• Battery notifications improved to reduce unnecessary notifications

Jolla appreciates collaborative efforts of its partners and community to make Sailfish OS even better.

Release Highlights

This list below contains examples of new features (and some bug fixes) added to Sailfish OS, compared to the previous public release 3.1.0. The release notes of 3.1.0 can be found here.

Xperia XA2

• Kernel updated to 4.4.189
• Sailfish OS 3.2.0 can be installed on Android 9 now (no need to downgrade to Android 8.1)

Accounts

• Dropbox: Migrated away from deprecated media info API
• If no accounts installed on a device that supports Presence, then Settings > Presence item is not shown
• Hardcoded /home/nemo/ removed from sailfishkeyprovider; home path read from $HOME environment variable now

Android™ App Support

• Android™ App Support for Xperia XA2 devices improved
  • Android Support (a.k.a. aliendalvik) updated to android-8.1.0_r65
  • Using the android.hardware.power service allowed. Makes different performance and low power modes possible
  • Using the android.hardware.memtrack service allowed. Helps in getting information about used hardware resources
  • Missing file browser added to make it possible for Android apps to share files by default
  • Mobile data works now also when one of the SIM cards (dual SIM devices) is disabled
  • Opening Android apps work better now
  • Period/comma characters added to Android keyboard; Enter key recognised now
  • Copying contacts from Sailfish to Android apps work smoothly now. Out-of-memory loop eliminated.
  • Android keyboard pops up reliably

Backup & Restore

• Backup service can now get the information on the available storage reliably. An API added to the PartitionModel to tell when external storages are populated.
• Legacy git-tree vault code and libraries removed as the more recent implementation does not use them

Battery & Charging

• Battery notification logic was rewritten to reduce the number of disturbing notifications

Bluetooth

• Support for different types of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices added, i.e. pairing and connections from Sailfish do work. However, using the devices requires a BLE application which we do not have. Android apps are lacking access to Sailfish Bluetooth service, still.

Browser

• Problems in accessing Twitter with Sailfish Browser fixed
• WebGL support fixed

Calendar

• Avoided forcing all calendars to be synced when making changes to one

Camera

• Showing the SD card as the target for saving pictures fixed

Clock

• Snooze interval is configurable now - see Settings > Apps > Clock
• Timers finally allow choosing seconds
• Pulley menu action added for reseting the saved timers to the beginning

Connectivity

• Edit view of WLAN connection extended with more enterprise EAP options
• Adding a WLAN network: Save button fixed
• Counters of mobile data fixed
• After turning flight mode off, the device can connect back to mobile data
• Swapping of SIM cards between the two slots does not disturb the subsequent connections.
• Polling interface statistics when all interfaces are down stopped
• OpenVPN encrypted certificate password dialogues and password use is fixed. VPNAgent is used for credential retrieval, an encrypted certificate password is not saved by VPNAgent.

Email

• OS name used instead of "Jolla" in default email signature

Documents

• Writing comments (annotations) to PDF files sometimes crashing Documents app fixed
• Calligra backend updated to the latest upstream, bringing in many bug fixes to displaying of office formats - Community contribution from Damien Caliste - thank you!

People

• Performance regression in contact search fixed
• Avoid duplicate empty fields in contact editor, one empty field is enough at a time

Phone

• Call reminder feature introduced
  • You can set reminder to call back when receiving an incoming call, or from call history
• Call ending dialog redesigned
  • If you end the call only non-blocking notification is shown
  • If the remote side disconnects a new system dialogue is shown with actions to call back, send message or add a reminder
• Incoming call now displays country of the caller if coming from abroad
• More than two emergency calls possible in a row, now
• An attempt was made to prevent calls from being accidentally held [Xperia X devices]. Proximity sensor utilization was tweaked to improve the reliability of in-call blanking behaviour. Unfortunately, this change also affects the Sneak Peek feature. Those users who have not experienced problems with in-call proximity blanking and wish to continue using Sneak Peek can revert back to the previous behaviour by executing mcetool --set-ps-on-demand=disabled from the command line.
• Call UX improvements are ongoing work with further improvements planned

Settings

• If no accounts installed on a device that supports Presence, then "Settings > Presence" item is not shown
• Snooze interval is configurable now - see "Settings > Apps > Clock"

SIM

• Swapping of SIM cards between the two slots does not disturb the subsequent connections

Security

• User data encryption (a.k.a. encryption of Home partition, disk encryption) developed further. However, this feature is in 3.2.0 only supported for freshly flashed corporate devices and will be deployed in upcoming Sailfish updates to consumer devices.
• Security framework SELinux being developed in the background, not yet ready. Vulnerabilities fixed:
• dbus 1.13.12: CVE-2019-12749, CVE-2015-0245
• expat 2.2.7: CVE-2015-1283, CVE-2016-0718, CVE-2016-4472, CVE-2016-5300, CVE-2012-6702, CVE-2017-9233, CVE-2016-9063

Release Highlights

This list below contains examples of new features (and some bug fixes) added to Sailfish OS, compared to the previous public release 3.1.0. The release notes of 3.1.0 can be found here.

Xperia XA2

• Kernel updated to 4.4.189
• Sailfish OS 3.2.0 can be installed on Android 9 now (no need to downgrade to Android 8.1)

Accounts

• Dropbox: Migrated away from deprecated media info API
• If no accounts installed on a device that supports Presence, then Settings > Presence item is not shown
• Hardcoded /home/nemo/ removed from sailfishkeyprovider; home path read from $HOME environment variable now

Android™ App Support

• Android™ App Support for Xperia XA2 devices improved
  • Android Support (a.k.a. aliendalvik) updated to android-8.1.0_r65
  • Using the android.hardware.power service allowed. Makes different performance and low power modes possible
  • Using the android.hardware.memtrack service allowed. Helps in getting information about used hardware resources
  • Missing file browser added to make it possible for Android apps to share files by default
  • Mobile data works now also when one of the SIM cards (dual SIM devices) is disabled
  • Opening Android apps work better now
  • Period/comma characters added to Android keyboard; Enter key recognised now
  • Copying contacts from Sailfish to Android apps work smoothly now. Out-of-memory loop eliminated.
  • Android keyboard pops up reliably

Backup & Restore

• Backup service can now get the information on the available storage reliably. An API added to the PartitionModel to tell when external storages are populated.
• Legacy git-tree vault code and libraries removed as the more recent implementation does not use them

Battery & Charging

• Battery notification logic was rewritten to reduce the number of disturbing notifications

Bluetooth

• Support for different types of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices added, i.e. pairing and connections from Sailfish do work. However, using the devices requires a BLE application which we do not have. Android apps are lacking access to Sailfish Bluetooth service, still.

Browser

• Problems in accessing Twitter with Sailfish Browser fixed
• WebGL support fixed

Calendar

• Avoided forcing all calendars to be synced when making changes to one

Camera

• Showing the SD card as the target for saving pictures fixed

Clock

• Snooze interval is configurable now - see Settings > Apps > Clock
• Timers finally allow choosing seconds
• Pulley menu action added for reseting the saved timers to the beginning

Connectivity

• Edit view of WLAN connection extended with more enterprise EAP options
• Adding a WLAN network: Save button fixed
• Counters of mobile data fixed
• After turning flight mode off, the device can connect back to mobile data
• Swapping of SIM cards between the two slots does not disturb the subsequent connections.
• Polling interface statistics when all interfaces are down stopped
• OpenVPN encrypted certificate password dialogues and password use is fixed. VPNAgent is used for credential retrieval, an encrypted certificate password is not saved by VPNAgent.

Email

• OS name used instead of "Jolla" in default email signature

Documents

• Writing comments (annotations) to PDF files sometimes crashing Documents app fixed
• Calligra backend updated to the latest upstream, bringing in many bug fixes to displaying of office formats - Community contribution from Damien Caliste - thank you!

People

• Performance regression in contact search fixed
• Avoid duplicate empty fields in contact editor, one empty field is enough at a time

Phone

• Call reminder feature introduced
  • You can set reminder to call back when receiving an incoming call, or from call history
• Call ending dialog redesigned
  • If you end the call only non-blocking notification is shown
  • If the remote side disconnects a new system dialogue is shown with actions to call back, send message or add a reminder
• Incoming call now displays country of the caller if coming from abroad
• More than two emergency calls possible in a row, now
• An attempt was made to prevent calls from being accidentally held [Xperia X devices]. Proximity sensor utilization was tweaked to improve the reliability of in-call blanking behaviour. Unfortunately, this change also affects the Sneak Peek feature. Those users who have not experienced problems with in-call proximity blanking and wish to continue using Sneak Peek can revert back to the previous behaviour by executing mcetool --set-ps-on-demand=disabled from the command line.
• Call UX improvements are ongoing work with further improvements planned

Settings

• If no accounts installed on a device that supports Presence, then "Settings > Presence" item is not shown
• Snooze interval is configurable now - see "Settings > Apps > Clock"

SIM

• Swapping of SIM cards between the two slots does not disturb the subsequent connections

Security

• User data encryption (a.k.a. encryption of Home partition, disk encryption) developed further. However, this feature is in 3.2.0 only supported for freshly flashed corporate devices and will be deployed in upcoming Sailfish updates to consumer devices.

Technical changes

Changelog

Detailed changelog is kept here

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 the 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, read our help article in Zendesk.

NOTE: Sailfish OS does not support downgrading. Never try to downgrade the OS as this would brick your device.

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

• Encrypted cards must be unlocked by the user to make them available for Sailfish applications.
• Non-encrypted cards are mounted automatically when the device is turned on.
• Encrypted cards can be formatted only when they are locked. Formatting removes the encryption in this case (the card becomes unencrypted and unmounted). You can then format it again with the option to encrypt, if needed.

Known issues - generic

• VPN does not work in case of Android apps
• Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances
• The chacha20-poly1305 cipher is not currently working, which is often chosen for SSH. It has been disabled in the sshd configuration file, but if you have manually modified it then it will not automatically update. You can ssh into your device using ssh -c aes128-ctr and check the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file against its rpmnew version if present.

Known issues specific to Xperia X

• Not implemented features: NFC, FM radio, double-tap, step counter
• Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Turn the Flight mode on and off to reset the network setup. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has often helped. See our support article.
• Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use an automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The topmost item is not necessarily the one that can serve you (still valid with most SIM cards)
• [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
• If a device is powered off alarms are not functional
• Bluetooth: problems with some car equipment, some audio devices and computers may appear
• The loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted very high
• Not all SD cards are recognized and mounted.

Known issues specific to Xperia XA2

• Not implemented features: FM radio, double-tap
• Bluetooth: there are problems in connecting to some peripheral devices
• XA2 does not power up when alarm time has elapsed
• Flashing Sailfish X to XA2 might still fail (so far seen to happen on Ubuntu 18.04 when using USB3 port). Please read this article.
• With v17B Sony vendor image we observed a decrease in the perceived signal strength of the 5GHz WLAN access points (investigations ongoing). Version v16 may work better in this respect. Therefore we would not recommend flashing v17B for the time being if you use WLAN networks in the 5GHz band. You can reflash the vendor image of your choice by following the instructions in here.
• Voice calls with Whatsapp are not usable as the voice volume level is minimal (if can be heard at all). This is expected to get fixed in the next OS update (3.2.1). (This should get fixed with OS release 3.2.1 "Nuuksio")
• Video playback in Whatsapp requires special actions: 1) Tap on video 2) Tap the share button (top right) 3) Tap back arrow 4) Tap Play on the video. Now it starts playing...
• Pictures/videos on SD card are not visible to Android apps.

Known issues specific to Gemini PDA

• Gemini Screenshot Button Fn + X does not work
• Not possible to answer calls when Gemini is closed with side button
• Some 3rd party apps have issues in Landscape mode.

Many thanks to you our active contributors for your feedback and proposals.

Changelog

Detailed changelog is kept here

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 the 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, read our help article in Zendesk.

NOTE: Sailfish OS does not support downgrading. Never try to downgrade the OS as this would brick your device.

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

• Encrypted cards must be unlocked by the user to make them available for Sailfish applications.
• Non-encrypted cards are mounted automatically when the device is turned on.
• Encrypted cards can be formatted only when they are locked. Formatting removes the encryption in this case (the card becomes unencrypted and unmounted). You can then format it again with the option to encrypt, if needed.

Known issues - generic

• VPN does not work in case of Android apps
• Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances
• The chacha20-poly1305 cipher is not currently working, which is often chosen for SSH. It has been disabled in the sshd configuration file, but if you have manually modified it then it will not automatically update. You can ssh into your device using ssh -c aes128-ctr and check the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file against its rpmnew version if present.

Known issues specific to Xperia X

• Not implemented features: NFC, FM radio, double-tap, step counter
• Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Turn the Flight mode on and off to reset the network setup. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has often helped. See our support article.
• Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use an automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The topmost item is not necessarily the one that can serve you (still valid with most SIM cards)
• [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
• If a device is powered off alarms are not functional
• Bluetooth: problems with some car equipment, some audio devices and computers may appear
• The loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted very high
• Not all SD cards are recognized and mounted.

Known issues specific to Xperia XA2

• Not implemented features: FM radio, double-tap
• Bluetooth: there are problems in connecting to some peripheral devices
• XA2 does not power up when alarm time has elapsed
• Flashing Sailfish X to XA2 might still fail (so far seen to happen on Ubuntu 18.04 when using USB3 port). Please read this article.
• With v17B Sony vendor image we observed a decrease in the perceived signal strength of the 5GHz WLAN access points (investigations ongoing). Version v16 may work better in this respect. Therefore we would not recommend flashing v17B for the time being if you use WLAN networks in the 5GHz band. You can reflash the vendor image of your choice by following the instructions in here.
• Voice calls with Whatsapp are not usable as the voice volume level is minimal (if can be heard at all). This is expected to get fixed in the next OS update (3.2.1). (This should get fixed with OS release 3.2.1 "Nuuksio")
• Video playback in Whatsapp requires special actions: 1) Tap on video 2) Tap the share button (top right) 3) Tap back arrow 4) Tap Play on the video. Now it starts playing...
• Pictures/videos on SD card are not visible to Android apps.

Known issues specific to Gemini PDA

• Gemini Screenshot Button Fn + X does not work
• Not possible to answer calls when Gemini is closed with side button
• Some 3rd party apps have issues in Landscape mode.

Many thanks to you our active contributors for your feedback and proposals.

Jolla appreciates collaborative efforts of its partners and community to make Sailfish OS even better.

Release Highlights

This list below contains examples of new features (and some bug fixes) added to Sailfish OS, compared to the previous public release 3.1.0. The release notes of 3.1.0 can be found here.

Xperia XA2

• Kernel updated to 4.4.189
• Sailfish OS 3.2.0 can be installed on Android 9 now (no need to downgrade to Android 8.1)

Accounts

• Dropbox: Migrated away from deprecated media info API
• If no accounts installed on a device that supports Presence, then Settings > Presence item is not shown
• Hardcoded /home/nemo/ removed from sailfishkeyprovider; home path read from $HOME environment variable now

Android™ App Support

• Android™ App Support for Xperia XA2 devices improved
  • Android Support (a.k.a. aliendalvik) updated to android-8.1.0_r65
  • Using the android.hardware.power service allowed. Makes different performance and low power modes possible
  • Using the android.hardware.memtrack service allowed. Helps in getting information about used hardware resources
  • Missing file browser added to make it possible for Android apps to share files by default
  • Mobile data works now also when one of the SIM cards (dual SIM devices) is disabled
  • Opening Android apps work better now
  • Period/comma characters added to Android keyboard; Enter key recognised now
  • Copying contacts from Sailfish to Android apps work smoothly now. Out-of-memory loop eliminated.
  • Android keyboard pops up reliably

Backup & Restore

• Backup service can now get the information on the available storage reliably. An API added to the PartitionModel to tell when external storages are populated.
• Legacy git-tree vault code and libraries removed as the more recent implementation does not use them

Battery & Charging

• Battery notification logic was rewritten to reduce the number of disturbing notifications

Bluetooth

• Support for different types of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices added, i.e. pairing and connections from Sailfish do work. However, using the devices requires a BLE application which we do not have. Android apps are lacking access to Sailfish Bluetooth service, still.

Browser

• Problems in accessing Twitter with Sailfish Browser fixed
• WebGL support fixed

Calendar

• Avoided forcing all calendars to be synced when making changes to one

Camera

• Showing the SD card as the target for saving pictures fixed

Clock

• Snooze interval is configurable now - see Settings > Apps > Clock
• Timers finally allow choosing seconds
• Pulley menu action added for reseting the saved timers to the beginning

Connectivity

• Edit view of WLAN connection extended with more enterprise EAP options
• Adding a WLAN network: Save button fixed
• Counters of mobile data fixed
• After turning flight mode off, the device can connect back to mobile data
• Swapping of SIM cards between the two slots does not disturb the subsequent connections.
• Polling interface statistics when all interfaces are down stopped
• OpenVPN encrypted certificate password dialogues and password use is fixed. VPNAgent is used for credential retrieval, an encrypted certificate password is not saved by VPNAgent.

Email

• OS name used instead of "Jolla" in default email signature

Documents

• Writing comments (annotations) to PDF files sometimes crashing Documents app fixed
• Calligra backend updated to the latest upstream, bringing in many bug fixes to displaying of office formats - Community contribution from Damien Caliste - thank you!

Messages

• We hope tht the recent SMS problem got eliminated (at least alleviated) with this OS update

People

• Performance regression in contact search fixed
• Avoid duplicate empty fields in contact editor, one empty field is enough at a time

Phone

• Call reminder feature introduced
  • You can set reminder to call back when receiving an incoming call, or from call history
• Call ending dialog redesigned
  • If you end the call only non-blocking notification is shown
  • If the remote side disconnects a new system dialogue is shown with actions to call back, send message or add a reminder
• Incoming call now displays country of the caller if coming from abroad
• More than two emergency calls possible in a row, now
• An attempt was made to prevent calls from being accidentally held [Xperia X devices]. Proximity sensor utilization was tweaked to improve the reliability of in-call blanking behaviour. Unfortunately, this change also affects the Sneak Peek feature. Those users who have not experienced problems with in-call proximity blanking and wish to continue using Sneak Peek can revert back to the previous behaviour by executing mcetool --set-ps-on-demand=disabled from the command line.
• Call UX improvements are ongoing work with further improvements planned

Settings

• If no accounts installed on a device that supports Presence, then "Settings > Presence" item is not shown
• Snooze interval is configurable now - see "Settings > Apps > Clock"

SIM

• Swapping of SIM cards between the two slots does not disturb the subsequent connections

Security

• User data encryption (a.k.a. encryption of Home partition, disk encryption) developed further. However, this feature is in 3.2.0 only supported for freshly flashed corporate devices and will be deployed in upcoming Sailfish updates to consumer devices.
• Security framework SELinux being developed in the background, not yet ready. Vulnerabilities fixed:
• dbus 1.13.12: CVE-2019-12749, CVE-2015-0245
• expat 2.2.7: CVE-2015-1283, CVE-2016-0718, CVE-2016-4472, CVE-2016-5300, CVE-2012-6702, CVE-2017-9233, CVE-2016-9063

Jolla appreciates collaborative efforts of its partners and community to make Sailfish OS even better.

Release Highlights

This list below contains examples of new features (and some bug fixes) added to Sailfish OS, compared to the previous public release 3.1.0. The release notes of 3.1.0 can be found here.

Xperia XA2

• Kernel updated to 4.4.189
• Sailfish OS 3.2.0 can be installed on Android 9 now (no need to downgrade to Android 8.1)

Accounts

• Dropbox: Migrated away from deprecated media info API
• If no accounts installed on a device that supports Presence, then Settings > Presence item is not shown
• Hardcoded /home/nemo/ removed from sailfishkeyprovider; home path read from $HOME environment variable now

Android™ App Support

• Android™ App Support for Xperia XA2 devices improved
  • Android Support (a.k.a. aliendalvik) updated to android-8.1.0_r65
  • Using the android.hardware.power service allowed. Makes different performance and low power modes possible
  • Using the android.hardware.memtrack service allowed. Helps in getting information about used hardware resources
  • Missing file browser added to make it possible for Android apps to share files by default
  • Mobile data works now also when one of the SIM cards (dual SIM devices) is disabled
  • Opening Android apps work better now
  • Period/comma characters added to Android keyboard; Enter key recognised now
  • Copying contacts from Sailfish to Android apps work smoothly now. Out-of-memory loop eliminated.
  • Android keyboard pops up reliably

Backup & Restore

• Backup service can now get the information on the available storage reliably. An API added to the PartitionModel to tell when external storages are populated.
• Legacy git-tree vault code and libraries removed as the more recent implementation does not use them

Battery & Charging

• Battery notification logic was rewritten to reduce the number of disturbing notifications

Bluetooth

• Support for different types of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices added, i.e. pairing and connections from Sailfish do work. However, using the devices requires a BLE application which we do not have. Android apps are lacking access to Sailfish Bluetooth service, still.

Browser

• Problems in accessing Twitter with Sailfish Browser fixed
• WebGL support fixed

Calendar

• Avoided forcing all calendars to be synced when making changes to one

Camera

• Showing the SD card as the target for saving pictures fixed

Clock

• Snooze interval is configurable now - see Settings > Apps > Clock
• Timers finally allow choosing seconds
• Pulley menu action added for reseting the saved timers to the beginning

Connectivity

• Edit view of WLAN connection extended with more enterprise EAP options
• Adding a WLAN network: Save button fixed
• Counters of mobile data fixed
• After turning flight mode off, the device can connect back to mobile data
• Swapping of SIM cards between the two slots does not disturb the subsequent connections.
• Polling interface statistics when all interfaces are down stopped
• OpenVPN encrypted certificate password dialogues and password use is fixed. VPNAgent is used for credential retrieval, an encrypted certificate password is not saved by VPNAgent.

Email

• OS name used instead of "Jolla" in default email signature

Documents

• Writing comments (annotations) to PDF files sometimes crashing Documents app fixed
• Calligra backend updated to the latest upstream, bringing in many bug fixes to displaying of office formats - Community contribution from Damien Caliste - thank you!

Messages

• We hope tht the recent SMS problem got eliminated (at least alleviated) with this OS update

People

• Performance regression in contact search fixed
• Avoid duplicate empty fields in contact editor, one empty field is enough at a time

Phone

• Call reminder feature introduced
  • You can set reminder to call back when receiving an incoming call, or from call history
• Call ending dialog redesigned
  • If you end the call only non-blocking notification is shown
  • If the remote side disconnects a new system dialogue is shown with actions to call back, send message or add a reminder
• Incoming call now displays country of the caller if coming from abroad
• More than two emergency calls possible in a row, now
• An attempt was made to prevent calls from being accidentally held [Xperia X devices]. Proximity sensor utilization was tweaked to improve the reliability of in-call blanking behaviour. Unfortunately, this change also affects the Sneak Peek feature. Those users who have not experienced problems with in-call proximity blanking and wish to continue using Sneak Peek can revert back to the previous behaviour by executing mcetool --set-ps-on-demand=disabled from the command line.
• Call UX improvements are ongoing work with further improvements planned

Settings

• If no accounts installed on a device that supports Presence, then "Settings > Presence" item is not shown
• Snooze interval is configurable now - see "Settings > Apps > Clock"

SIM

• Swapping of SIM cards between the two slots does not disturb the subsequent connections

Security

• User data encryption (a.k.a. encryption of Home partition, disk encryption) developed further. However, this feature is in 3.2.0 only supported for freshly flashed corporate devices and will be deployed in upcoming Sailfish updates to consumer devices.
• Security framework SELinux being developed in the background, not yet ready. Vulnerabilities fixed:
• dbus 1.13.12: CVE-2019-12749, CVE-2015-0245
• expat 2.2.7: CVE-2015-1283, CVE-2016-0718, CVE-2016-4472, CVE-2016-5300, CVE-2012-6702, CVE-2017-9233, CVE-2016-9063

Technical changes

Changelog

Detailed changelog is kept here

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 the 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, read our help article in Zendesk.

NOTE: Sailfish OS does not support downgrading. Never try to downgrade the OS as this would brick break your device. device.

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

• Encrypted cards must be unlocked by the user to make them available for Sailfish applications.
• Non-encrypted cards are mounted automatically when the device is turned on.
• Encrypted cards can be formatted only when they are locked. Formatting removes the encryption in this case (the card becomes unencrypted and unmounted). You can then format it again with the option to encrypt, if needed.

Known issues - generic

• VPN does not work in case of Android apps
• Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances
• The chacha20-poly1305 cipher is not currently working, which is often chosen for SSH. It has been disabled in the sshd configuration file, but if you have manually modified it then it will not automatically update. You can ssh into your device using ssh -c aes128-ctr and check the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file against its rpmnew version if present.

Known issues specific to Xperia X

• Not implemented features: NFC, FM radio, double-tap, step counter
• Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Turn the Flight mode on and off to reset the network setup. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has often helped. See our support article.
• Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use an automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The topmost item is not necessarily the one that can serve you (still valid with most SIM cards)
• [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
• If a device is powered off alarms are not functional
• Bluetooth: problems with some car equipment, some audio devices and computers may appear
• The loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted very high
• Not all SD cards are recognized and mounted.

Known issues specific to Xperia XA2

• Not implemented features: FM radio, double-tap
• Bluetooth: there are problems in connecting to some peripheral devices
• XA2 does not power up when alarm time has elapsed
• Flashing Sailfish X to XA2 might still fail (so far seen to happen on Ubuntu 18.04 when using USB3 port). Please read this article.
• With v17B Sony vendor image we observed a decrease in the perceived signal strength of the 5GHz WLAN access points (investigations ongoing). Version v16 may work better in this respect. Therefore we would not recommend flashing v17B for the time being if you use WLAN networks in the 5GHz band. You can reflash the vendor image of your choice by following the instructions in here.
• Voice calls with Whatsapp are not usable as the voice volume level is minimal (if can be heard at all). This is expected to get fixed in the next OS update (3.2.1). (This should get fixed with OS release 3.2.1 "Nuuksio")
• Video playback in Whatsapp requires special actions: 1) Tap on video 2) Tap the share button (top right) 3) Tap back arrow 4) Tap Play on the video. Now it starts playing...
• Pictures/videos on SD card are not visible to Android apps.

Known issues specific to Gemini PDA

• Gemini Screenshot Button Fn + X does not work
• Not possible to answer calls when Gemini is closed with side button
• Some 3rd party apps have issues in Landscape mode.

Many thanks to you our active contributors for your feedback and proposals.

Detailed changelog is kept here

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 the 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, read our help article in Zendesk.

NOTE: Sailfish OS does not support downgrading. Never try to downgrade the OS as this would break your device.

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

• Encrypted cards must be unlocked by the user to make them available for Sailfish applications.
• Non-encrypted cards are mounted automatically when the device is turned on.
• Encrypted cards can be formatted only when they are locked. Formatting removes the encryption in this case (the card becomes unencrypted and unmounted). You can then format it again with the option to encrypt, if needed.

Known issues - generic

• VPN does not work in case of Android apps
• Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances
• The chacha20-poly1305 cipher is not currently working, which is often chosen for SSH. It has been disabled in the sshd configuration file, but if you have manually modified it then it will not automatically update. You can ssh into your device using ssh -c aes128-ctr and check the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file against its rpmnew version if present.

Known issues specific to Xperia X

• Not implemented features: NFC, FM radio, double-tap, step counter
• Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Turn the Flight mode on and off to reset the network setup. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has often helped. See our support article.
• Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use an automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The topmost item is not necessarily the one that can serve you (still valid with most SIM cards)
• [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
• If a device is powered off alarms are not functional
• Bluetooth: problems with some car equipment, some audio devices and computers may appear
• The loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted very high
• Not all SD cards are recognized and mounted.

Known issues specific to Xperia XA2

• Not implemented features: FM radio, double-tap
• Bluetooth: there are problems in connecting to some peripheral devices
• XA2 does not power up when alarm time has elapsed
• Flashing Sailfish X to XA2 might still fail (so far seen to happen on Ubuntu 18.04 when using USB3 port). Please read this article.
• With v17B Sony vendor image we observed a decrease in the perceived signal strength of the 5GHz WLAN access points (investigations ongoing). Version v16 may work better in this respect. Therefore we would not recommend flashing v17B for the time being if you use WLAN networks in the 5GHz band. You can reflash the vendor image of your choice by following the instructions in here.
• Voice calls with Whatsapp are not usable as the voice volume level is minimal (if can be heard at all). This is expected to get fixed in the next OS update (3.2.1). (This should get fixed with OS release 3.2.1 "Nuuksio")
• Video playback in Whatsapp requires special actions: 1) Tap on video 2) Tap the share button (top right) 3) Tap back arrow 4) Tap Play on the video. Now it starts playing...
• Locked up device with display dimmed does not indicate an incoming Whatsapp call in any way
• Pictures/videos on SD card are not visible to Android apps.

Known issues specific to Gemini PDA

• Gemini Screenshot Button Fn + X does not work
• Not possible to answer calls when Gemini is closed with side button
• Some 3rd party apps have issues in Landscape mode.

Many thanks to you our active contributors for your feedback and proposals.

Release Highlights

This list below contains examples of new features (and some bug fixes) added to Sailfish OS, compared to the previous public release 3.1.0. The release notes of 3.1.0 can be found here.

Xperia XA2

• Kernel updated to 4.4.189
• Sailfish OS 3.2.0 can be installed on Android 9 now (no need to downgrade to Android 8.1)

Accounts

• Dropbox: Migrated away from deprecated media info API
• If no accounts installed on a device that supports Presence, then Settings > Presence item is not shown
• Hardcoded /home/nemo/ removed from sailfishkeyprovider; home path read from $HOME environment variable now

Android™ App Support

• Android™ App Support for Xperia XA2 devices improved
  • Android Support (a.k.a. aliendalvik) updated to android-8.1.0_r65
  • Using the android.hardware.power service allowed. Makes different performance and low power modes possible
  • Using the android.hardware.memtrack service allowed. Helps in getting information about used hardware resources
  • Missing file browser added to make it possible for Android apps to share files by default
  • Mobile data works now also when one of the SIM cards (dual SIM devices) is disabled
  • Opening Android apps work better now
  • Period/comma characters added to Android keyboard; Enter key recognised now
  • Copying contacts from Sailfish to Android apps work smoothly now. Out-of-memory loop eliminated.
  • Android keyboard pops up reliably

Backup & Restore

• Backup service can now get the information on the available storage reliably. An API added to the PartitionModel to tell when external storages are populated.
• Legacy git-tree vault code and libraries removed as the more recent implementation does not use them

Battery & Charging

• Battery notification logic was rewritten to reduce the number of disturbing notifications

Bluetooth

• Support for different types of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices added, i.e. pairing and connections from Sailfish do work. However, using the devices requires a BLE application which we do not have. Android apps are lacking access to Sailfish Bluetooth service, still.

Browser

• Problems in accessing Twitter with Sailfish Browser fixed
• WebGL support fixed

Calendar

• Avoided forcing all calendars to be synced when making changes to one

Camera

• Showing the SD card as the target for saving pictures fixed

Clock

• Snooze interval is configurable now - see Settings > Apps > Clock
• Timers finally allow choosing seconds
• Pulley menu action added for reseting the saved timers to the beginning

Connectivity

• Edit view of WLAN connection extended with more enterprise EAP options
• Adding a WLAN network: Save button fixed
• Counters of mobile data fixed
• After turning flight mode off, the device can connect back to mobile data
• Swapping of SIM cards between the two slots does not disturb the subsequent connections.
• Polling interface statistics when all interfaces are down stopped
• OpenVPN encrypted certificate password dialogues and password use is fixed. VPNAgent is used for credential retrieval, an encrypted certificate password is not saved by VPNAgent.

Email

• OS name used instead of "Jolla" in default email signature

Documents

• Writing comments (annotations) to PDF files sometimes crashing Documents app fixed
• Calligra backend updated to the latest upstream, bringing in many bug fixes to displaying of office formats - Community contribution from Damien Caliste - thank you!

Messages

• We hope that the recent SMS problem got eliminated (at least alleviated) with this OS update

People

• Performance regression in contact search fixed
• Avoid duplicate empty fields in contact editor, one empty field is enough at a time

Phone

• Call reminder feature introduced
  • You can set reminder to call back when receiving an incoming call, or from call history
• Call ending dialog redesigned
  • If you end the call only non-blocking notification is shown
  • If the remote side disconnects a new system dialogue is shown with actions to call back, send message or add a reminder
• Incoming call now displays country of the caller if coming from abroad
• More than two emergency calls possible in a row, now
• An attempt was made to prevent calls from being accidentally held [Xperia X devices]. Proximity sensor utilization was tweaked to improve the reliability of in-call blanking behaviour. Unfortunately, this change also affects the Sneak Peek feature. Those users who have not experienced problems with in-call proximity blanking and wish to continue using Sneak Peek can revert back to the previous behaviour by executing mcetool --set-ps-on-demand=disabled from the command line.
• Call UX improvements are ongoing work with further improvements planned

Settings

• If no accounts installed on a device that supports Presence, then "Settings > Presence" item is not shown
• Snooze interval is configurable now - see "Settings > Apps > Clock"

SIM

• Swapping of SIM cards between the two slots does not disturb the subsequent connections

Security

• Legacy git-tree vault code and libraries removed as the more recent implementation does not use them

Battery & Charging

• Battery notification logic was rewritten to reduce the number of disturbing notifications

Bluetooth

• Support for different types of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices added, i.e. pairing and connections from Sailfish do work. However, using the devices requires a BLE application which we do not have. Android apps are lacking access to Sailfish Bluetooth service, still.

Browser

• Problems in accessing Twitter with Sailfish Browser fixed

• Avoid duplicate empty fields in contact editor, one empty field is enough at a time

Phone

• Call reminder feature introduced
  • You can set reminder to call back when receiving an incoming call, or from call history
• Call ending dialog redesigned
  • If you end the call only non-blocking notification is shown
  • If the remote side disconnects a new system dialogue is shown with actions to call back, send message or add a reminder
• Incoming call now displays country of the caller if coming from abroad
• More than two emergency calls possible in a row, now
• An attempt was made to prevent calls from being accidentally held [Xperia X devices]. Proximity sensor utilization was tweaked to improve the reliability of in-call blanking behaviour. Unfortunately, this change also affects the Sneak Peek feature. Those users who have not experienced problems with in-call proximity blanking and wish to continue using Sneak Peek can revert back to the previous behaviour by executing mcetool --set-ps-on-demand=disabled from the command line.
• Call UX improvements are ongoing work with further improvements planned

Settings

• If no accounts installed on a device that supports Presence, then "Settings > Presence" item is not shown
• Snooze interval is configurable now - see "Settings > Apps > Clock"

Technical changes

Changelog

Detailed changelog is kept here

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 the 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, read our help article in Zendesk.

NOTE: Sailfish OS does not support downgrading. Never try to downgrade the OS as this would break your device.

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

• Encrypted cards must be unlocked by the user to make them available for Sailfish applications.
• Non-encrypted cards are mounted automatically when the device is turned on.
• Encrypted cards can be formatted only when they are locked. Formatting removes the encryption in this case (the card becomes unencrypted and unmounted). You can then format it again with the option to encrypt, if needed.

Known issues - generic

• VPN does not work in case of Android apps
• Sailfish can connect Bluetooth Low Energy devices now. However, Android apps cannot use peripheral devices via Bluetooth - other than for playback of the sound. Therefore smartwatches, for instance, cannot be controlled from Android apps
• Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances
• The chacha20-poly1305 cipher is not currently working, which is often chosen for SSH. It has been disabled in the sshd configuration file, but if you have manually modified it then it will not automatically update. You can ssh into your device using ssh -c aes128-ctr and check the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file against its rpmnew version if present.

Known issues specific to Xperia X

• Not implemented features: NFC, FM radio, double-tap, step counter
• Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Turn the Flight mode on and off to reset the network setup. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has often helped. See our support article.
• Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use an automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The topmost item is not necessarily the one that can serve you (still valid with most SIM cards)
• [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
• If a device is powered off alarms are not functional
• Bluetooth: problems with some car equipment, some audio devices and computers may appear
• The loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted very high
• Not all SD cards are recognized and mounted.

Known issues specific to Xperia XA2

• Not implemented features: FM radio, double-tap
• Bluetooth: there are problems in connecting to some peripheral devices
• XA2 does not power up when alarm time has elapsed
• Flashing Sailfish X to XA2 might still fail (so far seen to happen on Ubuntu 18.04 when using USB3 port). Please read this article.
• With v17B Sony vendor image we observed a decrease in the perceived signal strength of the 5GHz WLAN access points (investigations ongoing). Version v16 may work better in this respect. Therefore we would not recommend flashing v17B for the time being if you use WLAN networks in the 5GHz band. You can reflash the vendor image of your choice by following the instructions in here.
• Voice calls with Whatsapp are not usable as the voice volume level is minimal (if can be heard at all). This is expected to get fixed in the next OS update (3.2.1). (This should get fixed with OS release 3.2.1 "Nuuksio")
• Video playback in Whatsapp requires special actions: 1) Tap on video 2) Tap the share button (top right) 3) Tap back arrow 4) Tap Play on the video. Now it starts playing...
• Locked up device with display dimmed does not indicate an incoming Whatsapp call in any way
• Pictures/videos on SD card are not visible to Android apps.

Known issues specific to Gemini PDA

• Gemini Screenshot Button Fn + X does not work
• Not possible to answer calls when Gemini is closed with side button
• Some 3rd party apps have issues in Landscape mode.

Many thanks to you our active contributors for your feedback and proposals.

Security

• User data encryption (a.k.a. encryption of Home partition, disk encryption) was developed further. However, on 3.2.0, this feature is mainly included in freshly flashed corporate devices and in one consumer device only: Xperia 10.

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 the 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, read our help article in Zendesk.

NOTE: Sailfish OS does not support downgrading. Never try to downgrade the OS as this would break your device.

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

• Encrypted cards must be unlocked by the user to make them available for Sailfish applications.
• Non-encrypted cards are mounted automatically when the device is turned on.
• Encrypted cards can be formatted only when they are locked. Formatting removes the encryption in this case (the card becomes unencrypted and unmounted). You can then format it again with the option to encrypt, if needed.

Known issues - generic

• VPN does not work in case of Android apps
• Sailfish can connect Bluetooth Low Energy devices now. However, Android apps cannot use peripheral devices via Bluetooth - other than for playback of the sound. Therefore smartwatches, for instance, cannot be controlled from Android apps
• Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances
• The chacha20-poly1305 cipher is not currently working, which is often chosen for SSH. It has been disabled in the sshd configuration file, but if you have manually modified it then it will not automatically update. You can ssh into your device using ssh -c aes128-ctr and check the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file against its rpmnew version if present.

Known issues specific to Xperia X

• Not implemented features: NFC, FM radio, double-tap, step counter
• Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Turn the Flight mode on and off to reset the network setup. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has often helped. See our support article.
• Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use an automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The topmost item is not necessarily the one that can serve you (still valid with most SIM cards)
• [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
• If a device is powered off alarms are not functional
• Bluetooth: problems with some car equipment, some audio devices and computers may appear
• The loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted very high
• Not all SD cards are recognized and mounted.

Known issues specific to Xperia XA2

• Not implemented features: FM radio, double-tap
• Bluetooth: there are problems in connecting to some peripheral devices
• XA2 does not power up when alarm time has elapsed
• Flashing Sailfish X to XA2 might still fail (so far seen to happen on Ubuntu 18.04 when using USB3 port). Please read this article.
• With v17B Sony vendor image we observed a decrease in the perceived signal strength of the 5GHz WLAN access points (investigations ongoing). Version v16 may work better in this respect. Therefore we would not recommend flashing v17B for the time being if you use WLAN networks in the 5GHz band. You can reflash the vendor image of your choice by following the instructions in here.
• Voice calls with Whatsapp are not usable as the voice volume level is minimal (if can be heard at all). This is expected to get fixed in the next OS update (3.2.1). (This should get fixed with OS release 3.2.1 "Nuuksio")
• Video playback in Whatsapp requires special actions: 1) Tap on video 2) Tap the share button (top right) 3) Tap back arrow 4) Tap Play on the video. Now it starts playing...
• Locked up A locked-up device with display dimmed does not indicate an incoming Whatsapp call in any way
• Pictures/videos on SD card are not visible to Android apps.

Known issues specific to Xperia 10

• Fingerprint recognition may sometimes fail to work. In such a case, restart the device and it works again.
• Rarely, audio playback and sensors (display rotation) may stop working. If this happens, please restart the device
• No support for FM radio
• No support for the dual-lens camera
• Whatsapp video call, incoming calls and video playback might have issues - but often caused by the lack of settings and permissions. Please see our Whatsapp help article.

Known issues specific to Gemini PDA

• Gemini Screenshot Button Fn + X does not work
• Not possible to answer calls when Gemini is closed with side button
• Some 3rd party apps have issues in Landscape mode.

Many thanks to you our active contributors for your feedback and proposals.

Jolla appreciates collaborative efforts of its partners and community to make Sailfish OS even better.

Release Highlights

This list below contains examples of new features (and some bug fixes) added to Sailfish OS, compared to the previous public release 3.1.0. The release notes of 3.1.0 can be found here.

Xperia XA2

• Kernel updated to 4.4.189
• Sailfish OS 3.2.0 can be installed on Android 9 now (no need to downgrade to Android 8.1)

Accounts

• Dropbox: Migrated away from deprecated media info API
• If no accounts installed on a device that supports Presence, then Settings > Presence item is not shown
• Hardcoded /home/nemo/ removed from sailfishkeyprovider; home path read from $HOME environment variable now

Android™ App Support

• Android™ App Support for Xperia XA2 devices improved
  • Android Support (a.k.a. aliendalvik) updated to android-8.1.0_r65
  • Using the android.hardware.power service allowed. Makes different performance and low power modes possible
  • Using the android.hardware.memtrack service allowed. Helps in getting information about used hardware resources
  • Missing file browser added to make it possible for Android apps to share files by default
  • Mobile data works now also when one of the SIM cards (dual SIM devices) is disabled
  • Opening Android apps work better now
  • Period/comma characters added to Android keyboard; Enter key recognised now
  • Copying contacts from Sailfish to Android apps work smoothly now. Out-of-memory loop eliminated.
  • Android keyboard pops up reliably

Backup & Restore

• Backup service can now get the information on the available storage reliably. An API added to the PartitionModel to tell when external storages are populated.
• Legacy git-tree vault code and libraries removed as the more recent implementation does not use them

Battery & Charging

• Battery notification logic was rewritten to reduce the number of disturbing notifications

Bluetooth

• Support for different types of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices added, i.e. pairing and connections from Sailfish do work. However, using the devices requires a BLE application which we do not have. Android apps are lacking access to Sailfish Bluetooth service, still.

Browser

• Problems in accessing Twitter with Sailfish Browser fixed
• WebGL support fixed

Calendar

• Avoided forcing all calendars to be synced when making changes to one

Camera

• Showing the SD card as the target for saving pictures fixed

Clock

• Snooze interval is configurable now - see Settings > Apps > Clock
• Timers finally allow choosing seconds
• Pulley menu action added for reseting the saved timers to the beginning

Connectivity

• Edit view of WLAN connection extended with more enterprise EAP options
• Adding a WLAN network: Save button fixed
• Counters of mobile data fixed
• After turning flight mode off, the device can connect back to mobile data
• Swapping of SIM cards between the two slots does not disturb the subsequent connections.
• Polling interface statistics when all interfaces are down stopped
• OpenVPN encrypted certificate password dialogues and password use is fixed. VPNAgent is used for credential retrieval, an encrypted certificate password is not saved by VPNAgent.

Email

• OS name used instead of "Jolla" in default email signature

Documents

• Writing comments (annotations) to PDF files sometimes crashing Documents app fixed
• Calligra backend updated to the latest upstream, bringing in many bug fixes to displaying of office formats - Community contribution from Damien Caliste - thank you!

Messages

• We hope that the recent SMS problem got eliminated (at least alleviated) with this OS update

People

• Performance regression in contact search fixed
• Avoid duplicate empty fields in contact editor, one empty field is enough at a time

Phone

• Call reminder feature introduced
  • You can set reminder to call back when receiving an incoming call, or from call history
• Call ending dialog redesigned
  • If you end the call only non-blocking notification is shown
  • If the remote side disconnects a new system dialogue is shown with actions to call back, send message or add a reminder
• Incoming call now displays country of the caller if coming from abroad
• More than two emergency calls possible in a row, now
• An attempt was made to prevent calls from being accidentally held [Xperia X devices]. Proximity sensor utilization was tweaked to improve the reliability of in-call blanking behaviour. Unfortunately, this change also affects the Sneak Peek feature. Those users who have not experienced problems with in-call proximity blanking and wish to continue using Sneak Peek can revert back to the previous behaviour by executing mcetool --set-ps-on-demand=disabled from the command line.
• Call UX improvements are ongoing work with further improvements planned

Security

• User data encryption (a.k.a. encryption of Home partition, disk encryption) was developed further. However, on 3.2.0, this feature is mainly included in freshly flashed corporate devices and in one consumer device only: Xperia 10. User data encryption can be left out from a device configuration by not setting the security code during the initial startup of a device. However, if encryption is enabled during the startup then it cannot be disabled any more (other than by reflashing the device).
• Security framework SELinux being developed in the background, not yet ready. Enabled in permissive mode on Xperia 10 Vulnerabilities fixed:
• dbus 1.13.12: CVE-2019-12749, CVE-2015-0245
• expat 2.2.7: CVE-2015-1283, CVE-2016-0718, CVE-2016-4472, CVE-2016-5300, CVE-2012-6702, CVE-2017-9233, CVE-2016-9063

• patch 2.7.6: CVE-2019-13638, CVE-2019-13636, CVE-2018-1000156
• QualPwn CVE-2019-10538
• systemd 225+git19: CVE-2013-4391, CVE-2018-16865, CVE-2018-16866, CVE-2016-7795, CVE-2019-3842

Settings

OS release 3.2.0.12 is a so-called Stop Release. There are several Stop Releases in the Sailfish OS update path. They are mandatory intermediate steps in the update path through which the update process must traverse if a device is updated starting from an early OS release. The previous Stop Release was 3.0.0.8.

NOTE: Sailfish OS does not support downgrading. Never try to downgrade the OS as this would break your device.

Release Highlights

This list below contains examples of new features (and some bug fixes) added to Sailfish OS, compared to the previous public release 3.1.0. The release notes of 3.1.0 can be found here.

Xperia XA2

• Kernel updated to 4.4.189
• Sailfish OS 3.2.0 can be installed on Android 9 now (no need to downgrade to Android 8.1)

Accounts

• Dropbox: Migrated away from deprecated media info API
• If no accounts installed on a device that supports Presence, then Settings > Presence item is not shown
• Hardcoded /home/nemo/ removed from sailfishkeyprovider; home path read from $HOME environment variable now

Android™ App Support

• Android™ App Support for Xperia XA2 devices improved
  • Android Support (a.k.a. aliendalvik) updated to android-8.1.0_r65
  • Using the android.hardware.power service allowed. Makes different performance and low power modes possible
  • Using the android.hardware.memtrack service allowed. Helps in getting information about used hardware resources
  • Missing file browser added to make it possible for Android apps to share files by default
  • Mobile data works now also when one of the SIM cards (dual SIM devices) is disabled
  • Opening Android apps work better now
  • Period/comma characters added to Android keyboard; Enter key recognised now
  • Copying contacts from Sailfish to Android apps work smoothly now. Out-of-memory loop eliminated.
  • Android keyboard pops up reliably

Backup & Restore

• Backup service can now get the information on the available storage reliably. An API added to the PartitionModel to tell when external storages are populated.
• Legacy git-tree vault code and libraries removed as the more recent implementation does not use them

Battery & Charging

• Battery notification logic was rewritten to reduce the number of disturbing notifications

Bluetooth

• Support for different types of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices added, i.e. pairing and connections from Sailfish do work. However, using the devices requires a BLE application which we do not have. Android apps are lacking access to Sailfish Bluetooth service, still.

Browser

• Problems in accessing Twitter with Sailfish Browser fixed
• WebGL support fixed

Calendar

• Avoided forcing all calendars to be synced when making changes to one

Camera

• Showing the SD card as the target for saving pictures fixed

Clock

• Snooze interval is configurable now - see Settings > Apps > Clock
• Timers finally allow choosing seconds
• Pulley menu action added for reseting the saved timers to the beginning

Connectivity

• Edit view of WLAN connection extended with more enterprise EAP options
• Adding a WLAN network: Save button fixed
• Counters of mobile data fixed
• After turning flight mode off, the device can connect back to mobile data
• Swapping of SIM cards between the two slots does not disturb the subsequent connections.
• Polling interface statistics when all interfaces are down stopped
• OpenVPN encrypted certificate password dialogues and password use is fixed. VPNAgent is used for credential retrieval, an encrypted certificate password is not saved by VPNAgent.

Email

• OS name used instead of "Jolla" in default email signature

Documents

• Writing comments (annotations) to PDF files sometimes crashing Documents app fixed
• Calligra backend updated to the latest upstream, bringing in many bug fixes to displaying of office formats - Community contribution from Damien Caliste - thank you!

Messages

• We hope that the recent SMS problem got eliminated (at least alleviated) with this OS update

People

• Performance regression in contact search fixed
• Avoid duplicate empty fields in contact editor, one empty field is enough at a time

Phone

• Call reminder feature introduced
  • You can set reminder to call back when receiving an incoming call, or from call history
• Call ending dialog redesigned
  • If you end the call only non-blocking notification is shown
  • If the remote side disconnects a new system dialogue is shown with actions to call back, send message or add a reminder
• Incoming call now displays country of the caller if coming from abroad
• More than two emergency calls possible in a row, now
• An attempt was made to prevent calls from being accidentally held [Xperia X devices]. Proximity sensor utilization was tweaked to improve the reliability of in-call blanking behaviour. Unfortunately, this change also affects the Sneak Peek feature. Those users who have not experienced problems with in-call proximity blanking and wish to continue using Sneak Peek can revert back to the previous behaviour by executing mcetool --set-ps-on-demand=disabled from the command line.
• Call UX improvements are ongoing work with further improvements planned

Security

• User data encryption (a.k.a. encryption of Home partition, disk encryption) was developed further. However, on 3.2.0, this feature is mainly included in freshly flashed corporate devices and in one consumer device only: Xperia 10. User data encryption can be left out from a device configuration by not setting the security code during the initial startup of a device. However, if encryption is enabled during the startup then it cannot be disabled any more (other than by reflashing the device).
• Security framework SELinux being developed in the background, not yet ready. Enabled in permissive mode on Xperia 10 Vulnerabilities fixed:
• dbus 1.13.12: CVE-2019-12749, CVE-2015-0245
• expat 2.2.7: CVE-2015-1283, CVE-2016-0718, CVE-2016-4472, CVE-2016-5300, CVE-2012-6702, CVE-2017-9233, CVE-2016-9063

• QualPwn CVE-2019-10538
• systemd 225+git19: CVE-2013-4391, CVE-2018-16865, CVE-2018-16866, CVE-2016-7795, CVE-2019-3842

Technical changes

Changelog

Detailed changelog is kept here

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 the 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, read our help article in Zendesk.

OS release 3.2.0.12 is a so-called Stop Release. There are several Stop Releases in the Sailfish OS update path. They are mandatory intermediate steps in the update path through which the update process must traverse if a device is updated starting from an early OS release. The previous Stop Release was 3.0.0.8.

NOTE: Sailfish OS does not support downgrading. Never try to downgrade the OS as this would break your device.

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

• Encrypted cards must be unlocked by the user to make them available for Sailfish applications.
• Non-encrypted cards are mounted automatically when the device is turned on.
• Encrypted cards can be formatted only when they are locked. Formatting removes the encryption in this case (the card becomes unencrypted and unmounted). You can then format it again with the option to encrypt, if needed.

Known issues - generic

• VPN does not work in case of Android apps
• Sailfish can connect Bluetooth Low Energy devices now. However, Android apps cannot use peripheral devices via Bluetooth - other than for playback of the sound. Therefore smartwatches, for instance, cannot be controlled from Android apps
• Bluetooth pairing and audio connections may still fail in some circumstances
• The chacha20-poly1305 cipher is not currently working, which is often chosen for SSH. It has been disabled in the sshd configuration file, but if you have manually modified it then it will not automatically update. You can ssh into your device using ssh -c aes128-ctr and check the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file against its rpmnew version if present.

Known issues specific to Xperia X

• Not implemented features: NFC, FM radio, double-tap, step counter
• Issues with mobile data persist on some SIM cards. Turn the Flight mode on and off to reset the network setup. Reverting the device to Android and re-installing Sailfish X has often helped. See our support article.
• Manual network/carrier search lists all networks by the same name (the name of the SIM provider). Use an automatic search. If not possible, you need to try several items in the manual search results, unfortunately. The topmost item is not necessarily the one that can serve you (still valid with most SIM cards)
• [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
• If a device is powered off alarms are not functional
• Bluetooth: problems with some car equipment, some audio devices and computers may appear
• The loudspeaker volume level cannot be adjusted very high
• Not all SD cards are recognized and mounted.

Known issues specific to Xperia XA2

• Not implemented features: FM radio, double-tap
• Bluetooth: there are problems in connecting to some peripheral devices
• XA2 does not power up when alarm time has elapsed
• Flashing Sailfish X to XA2 might still fail (so far seen to happen on Ubuntu 18.04 when using USB3 port). Please read this article.
• With v17B Sony vendor image we observed a decrease in the perceived signal strength of the 5GHz WLAN access points (investigations ongoing). Version v16 may work better in this respect. Therefore we would not recommend flashing v17B for the time being if you use WLAN networks in the 5GHz band. You can reflash the vendor image of your choice by following the instructions in here.
• Voice calls with Whatsapp are not usable as the voice volume level is minimal (if can be heard at all). This is expected to get fixed in the next OS update (3.2.1). (This should get fixed with OS release 3.2.1 "Nuuksio")
• Video playback in Whatsapp requires special actions: 1) Tap on video 2) Tap the share button (top right) 3) Tap back arrow 4) Tap Play on the video. Now it starts playing...
• A locked-up device with display dimmed does not indicate an incoming Whatsapp call in any way
• Pictures/videos on SD card are not visible to Android apps.

Known issues specific to Xperia 10

• Fingerprint recognition may sometimes fail to work. In such a case, restart the device and it works again.
• Rarely, audio playback and sensors (display rotation) may stop working. If this happens, please restart the device
• No support for FM radio
• No support for the dual-lens camera
• Whatsapp video call, incoming calls and video playback might have issues - but often caused by the lack of settings and permissions. Please see our Whatsapp help article.
• In some cases, the acceptance of SIM/PIN may take up to 12 seconds
• During the decryption of user data in device start-up, there is a period of 10-20 seconds such that the display is black

Known issues specific to Gemini PDA

• Gemini Screenshot Button Fn + X does not work
• Not possible to answer calls when Gemini is closed with side button
• Some 3rd party apps have issues in Landscape mode.
