Hello jolla-users,

i have two problems with my new Jolla phone and updated the device already on the latest version of sailfish OS.

1. problem: Installation of * .apk files does not work I wish to receive Android apps via f-droid, but can't install it on the phone. The store app, nor the individual applications can be installed. I tap on the file but nothing happens. On the system settings the same as via the file browser from the Jolla store. I have already allowed the installation of third-party software in the settings. I also tried to download the file once via Wi-Fi and 3G once, because I read reports in the Jolla-store, that files downloaded via Wi-Fi would not work correctly in the file manager. But this also make no difference. Is it already a known issue?

2. problem: calDAV/cardDAV synchronization does not work My provider for email, contacts, and calendar is mailbox.org from Germany. While the mail traffic via IMAP works without any problems, synchronizing calendars and contacts will not work at all. It is possible to creat the accounts on the phone, but no information is synchronized. I know that this function is still an experimentel part in Sailfish OS, but i would like to ask about whether there's someone here who could synchronize successfully with this provider.

I hope someone has a tip for me, what I could try to solve this problems. Especially the first problem really bothers me. But otherwise, I'm really excited by the device and the software! I can't wait the version 2.0 is released. And a great excuse for my bad english, I hope you can understand my concern. :o(

Many greetings from Germany
