Important notes for updating from Sailfish OS releases before 2.1.3.7 (alpha5)! Please be very careful when during update about flashing the Android system.img. During update process Android system.img needs to be flashed right after updating Sailfish OS and shutting down the device. Do not flash system.img before Sailfish OS update.
Known issues:
Youtube videos crashes browser when seeking
Camera configuration detection for secondary (front) camera sometimes fails (only during camera module change, update or installation)
To solve the issue remove /etc/droid-cameradetect-module-main.conf and /etc/droid-cameradetect-module-front.conf and run “systemctl restart droid-cameradetect”
Repeat the previous instruction until both cameras work (configuration is at /etc/dconf/db/vendor.d/jolla-camera-hw.txt and the validity of resolutions for secondary camera can be checked also manually)
Not good, I tried OTA via SSH so could monitor output and it downloaded 2.1.4.14 packages but couldn’t apply them and was obviously going to go through nine (unsuccessful) attempts, which would have taken ages so had to abort process. Not unsurprisingly device would not then boot into Sailfish or Android for that matter, so had to download Open OS OTA version and re-install via TWRP. Device has has just booted into Sailfish now so going to have a look around.
That is not normal, maybe check journalctl output for hints what package could cause the issue. Maybe something you installed is built against wrong version or something and causes issues.
Started off with all the normal components being downloaded until reached 100% but when trying to install remained at 0% for every item and was it "status[0] beside each? Once it reached end of list it started “Attempt 2” and repeated the process again if this makes any sense.
Unfortunately device became very unresponsive with even difficulty accepting screen touch in TWRP and screen lit with horizontal lines when in “Fastboot mode”, so decided need to wipe it entirely at this point.
I just did an OTA update from a fresh install of 2.3.1.7 alpha5 to 2.1.4.14 alpha6 and I had no problems so it has to be some app(s) causing the upgrade issues.
In my case it could be something different. I did a backup with TWRP first. With that, my FP gets quite hot. Maybe I should’ve waited some time for the device to cool down before doing the upgrade.
I’ll soon give the OTA update a try, it’s the first time i’ll update the recently installed sailfish on my FP2. I do have a question:
I have two apps installed (GPSInfo and CodeReader, both from the jolla store), which indicate there is an update available, but then i try to update them it fails. On my jolla phone (running a 2.0.x release) i have the same apps installed without any problem. Is this something i should solve (probably by deinstalling the apps) or can i perform the update anyway?
That is not normal, if the installation or update of those apps fails, maybe you could try from terminal, first set password in Settings->Developer Mode and then devel-su zypper ref and devel-su zypper dup
Thanks for your help @mal. I ran zypper ref and zypper dup, after that the installed app list in the jolla store was empty. After a reboot (which did a nice and clean shutdown by the way) the list contained all my apps again, and all the apps indicate they are up to date.
So i guess i’m ready for the rest of the OTA update now
I’ve done the OTA update now, and had no problem whatsoever. Thanks for the good work @mal !
Does anyone have any experience using two SIMs in a FP2 running Sailfish? I’m using a single SIM now and would like to add a second. Problem is that i can’t go back due to SIM card size differences between phones, so i have to be sure it works before i make the change.
I’ve just added the 2nd SIM to my FP2 and it works perfectly. The only thing i can wish for is separate ringtones for both SIMs, so the ringtone indicates which SIM has been called.
