Known issue

Some of the android apps are still unable to connect to mobile data network if the SIM PIN code is entered after a measurable delay on boot up. This is due to the incorrect 3G connectivity detection API used by them. There are 2 ways out of this situation:

Reboot the device and enter the PIN code promptly when asked OR
Restart android runtime service as follows from the Terminal app (requires developer mode enabled )

[nemo@localhost ~]$ devel-su
Password:
[root@localhost nemo]# systemctl stop aliendalvik.service
[root@localhost nemo]# systemctl start aliendalvik.service

As expected it fixes some bugs ... I am sure that after 6th of Jan the sailors will get to work and in some 1-2 weeks we will see more updates coming.

WilliePre

A great effort Jolla, thank you. Yet another update! Your work is much
appreciated. Keep up the good work, but do not forget to take a break now and then. <3

Attempting to Install this update seems to have done something very wrong to my phone. Having tried to run the update (and got the "problem with store" message) the phone can no longer access the store at all, or indeed try to run the update (it says "update available" but won't let me run it - presumably because I can't get into the store app etc).

Anyone got any ideas for a workaround to this?

andreibechet

Apparently the store is slow for more persons on the internet. Maybe it is worth having some patience and trying again later or tomorrow morning.

rated

It's incredibly slow. My problem was that the store had exited midway through trying to download the update, so the store itself had locked me out.

All sorted via terminal. Hooray!

andreibechet

I also cannot download it.

Can you please post the complete solution in case others have the same issue? thank you.

WilliePre

I managed to update to 1.0.2.5 after continuously restarting update for quite a while. <3 <br />As has been said, the Jolla servers are probably quite stressed by all the sailors trying to update their Jollas.

Solution to my problem (i.e. Being locked out of the store) is as follows:

1) Launch Terminal
2) Type in "pkcon install store-client" (without quote marks, then hit Enter)
3) Type in "pkill store-client" (again, no quote marks and hit Enter)

Close the Terminal, run the Jolla Store and it should run again.

Do NOT close the Jolla Store until the update is complete, but if you do go through the above again.

Thanks @Rated as I had accepted nothing was going to happen for a few days but obviously sailors are on the case even with recent holidays fresh on their minds.

I have updated and installed the latest version Sailfish OS without issue but haven't explored in any detail yet so will post if I find anything of value. ;-)

I have updated my phone, and it all installed with no hold up or issue.

Good news:
All my contacts, gallery etc are all still there as expected. Store opens and works fine.
I have had to re-enter the commands through terminal to stop the TOH NFC battery drain issue.
Bad News:
Firstly I lost my key press sounds and hauptic feedback. Even though Vibration was set to "Always". I found that switching it to "Never", then back to "Always" seems to have it working again.
Secondly I have noticed that the changes made to "Android Runtime" have broken my "Soundcloud" app and my "Vimeo" app - which both previously worked perfectly.
Both apps load perfectly and even appear to buffer the music/video, but when hitting play they both crash with error messages "there was a playback error" in Soundcloud, and "An unknown playback error has occured" in Vimeo.

Got to be an easy fix - my guess is it is related to:

Audio and video are now in sync when watching videos in Netflix or other video applications - See more at: /forums/discussion/122/new-os-update-1-0-2-5#sthash.bVi5D7aD.dpuf

which has been added to 1.0.2.5 firmware.

Anyone else having any of these issues?

andreibechet

will test it later today.

Grimtech

Woke up and my phone shows me theres a system update available to 1.0.2.5

If I look at Settins>System>About it shows 1.0.2.5 as being the OS version currently installed.

Hitting “Clear Notifications” in the pulley menu wont clear the notification :(

Thank you for this. I had to go through the same procedure now. Up to date now.

I keep getting the message that there is a software update 1.0.2.5. I let it update again and the whole procedure took very less time compared to the initial upgrade. Did anyone else experience this?

Grimtech

This is strange....tested Vimeo and Soundcloud apps again, and the both work!?
Battery is at 90% so I doubt it rebooted over night.
Weird!

@andreibechet
The new message that there was a software update available, I could not clear the notification.
So I tried to install the "update" and it began and then showed a message saying that my phone was already up to date and the notification disappeared.
Weird.

andreibechet

Spundcloud works for me. Spotify did not work the 1st run but it did after. I also observe an increase in volume.

Howdy, Stranger!
