Jolla's latest mobile OS upgrade focuses on the basics
Sailfish OS is adding features you may take for granted elsewhere.

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

I had some problems in WhatsApp not showing pictures took with a camera after this update.

But... This update rocks. GUI is much smoother, Browser too, Camera makes the photos faster and the response time of the device is much better! Great job, Jolla!

Best regards,

Jaracz

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

Yep, that's a real problem.
Though, I can't let the excuse count that Jolla is small. Many of the essential stuff still not implemented already existed e.g. in Meego and is available in iOS & Android since years, often available as Opensource.

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

Ok, sorry for sounding like an unreflected fanboy but how awesome is font size change?
Such a tiny feature completely explains the beautitude of the overall UI.
I was not really missing it but now that i set Fontsize to very big for my near 40 year old eyes the whole "screenestate" paradigm makes more sense then ever:
"Hey look, i am more readable to you now but am still able to present all necessary info while still looking 100% familiar".
No awkward clipping in any native app. Very thought through.
I showed the updated J1 to my tech savey homies again after long time and they where most impressed by the fact that the update speeds up overall UX on 3 years old HW.
Please keep it coming. I have a feeling of turning tides for the first time since i bought any Jolla device.

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

but it works for app that support landscape.
and in landscape I cant swipe to home, only to events

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

You have to swipe starting from the screen bezel (outside of the LCD screen) and if this is not working for you then you might ****ed it up with some patches and need to reinstall lipstick. :D

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA

and it doesn't work without patches. And it worked before with patches.

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

Sailfish OS is not based on MeeGo, you know - Harmattan is still in the evil paws of Nokia Corp.

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

Anyone had any success with updating a community port device to 2.1 yet? I'm considering just going for it on my Nexus 5. I didn't wait for confirmed successes to try 2.0.5.6, but I have a feeling this is a little bit more than an incremental update.

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

Well, Sailfish OS does use a lot of components that were originally developed or selected at MeeGo, like Ofono, Maliit, MIC, RPM, systemd, Qt based UI.

Harmattan wasn't really that much MeeGo based - it had some components from it but IMHO it was closer to a final generation of Maemo - for example it still used deb packages and upstart.

And for sure there was a substantial amount of system components and default applications that were and remained proprietary.

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

I have Nexus 5 and Nexus 4. I tried it first on my Nexus 4 it did not booted after update. I thought fresh install would work. Installed 2.0.5.6 and directly updated, but still did not booted. So no, there is no way i'm trying it on my Nexus 5 too.

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

Yes, I'm aware of all of this. The point was that the missing features were mostly in the UI components and that couldn't be simply taken from Harmattan as its UI was not open.

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

I've upgraded my OPX, everything went well and it didn't boot to UI. I had SSH enabled on it, so I simply downgraded to 2.0.5.6 again.

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

This release ended up on osnews as well, at least we are remembered
http://www.osnews.com/story/29658/Sa...2_1_0_released

This update, 2.1.0 alias Iijoki brings major architectural changes to Sailfish OS by introducing Qt 5.6 UI framework, Bluez5 Bluetooth protocol (ready to be deployed for development purposes), basics for the 64-bit architecture and text selection in browser. Included is also a beta level implementation for Virtual Private Networks (VPN) (please read release notes) and the first version of QML live coding support. In addition, 2.1.0 adds bigger fonts to the UI, improves the use of camera and fixes a number of errors, many of which were reported by our developer community.

Maybe I'll get around to updating my Jolla phone and tablet at some point, but I really don't see a reason why. Since I reviewed Sailfish OS and the Jolla phone more than three years ago, nothing has been done to address the elephant in the room. The operating system itself was quite stable, good-looking and full-featured from the beginning, and that has only improved with the constant stream of updates and refinements. However, the application situation is still incredibly dire, and we're all still using the same few applications - updated only very infrequently - that we were using three years ago. Several have even died out.

Instead of investing in attracting developers to write Sailfish applications (the three year old promises of support for paid applications still hasn't been fulfilled, for instance), the company got distracted with crazy projects like the tablet, and investing heavily in making Android applications 'run' on Sailfish. While Android applications do 'run', it's still a slow, frustrating, and utterly jarring experience that's a complete and utter waste of resources. Had they spent even half the effort spent on Android application compatibility on attracting native developers, the platform would be in a far better state.

Jolla proclaimed they wanted to take over the world, but in doing so, lost touch with the very people they should've continued to focus on: open source/Linux-oriented enthusiasts, former Maemo/N900 users. Not a large group of people, of course, but definitely a big enough - and, more importantly, loyal enough! - group of people to sustain a small, community-focused company.

Whatever.

Jolla's CEO Sami Pienimäki penned a letter to the community about upcoming developments for the company. There's some stuff in there about Russia and tablet refunds.

It works on FP2 now with the right repo enabled.

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

In other words, we have a wasted Jtab here :mad:
Wines about how the ecosystem does not advance and sits on a Jtab he not even uses to educate others or at least spread a positive view.

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

SLOW? I could agree with jarring/frustrating because Android applications work so differently (by which I mean worse) to Sailfish applications, but slow? If people on TJC are to be believed, Android web browsers on Sailfish are even faster than the native browsers. In any case I've never had any issues with Android applications running any less fast than what I would expect.

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

I guess he is not comparing on same spec level...
Like, "A nexus5 is also 3 years old but runs android apps much faster" kind of comparison.
But i doubt even that and think he is completly unfair in comparing to the recent android warhorse in his pocket without differentiating and mention in the text.

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

LOL did you even try android support on SFOS before writing this?

This is all false!!! I have working aliendalvik with gapps package (i made rpm for it actually) on my Nexus 4. It's not even official phone it's ported and android apps run faster then they ran when i had 7.1.1 nougat on this same phone! even on my nexus 5 android apps run faster on SFOS with dalvik then on android. That's because SFOS itself is much lighter and faster then android. also maybe that aliendalvik uses faik services and somethings just to run android apps so they are not really doing anything.

Also my nexus 5 with SFOS with aliendalvik enabled at boot boots to the homescreen 6 seconds faster then it does on nougat 7.1.1. shutfown speeds are faster compare to android as well.
Although i can't tell this about nexus 4. It takes aaaaages before it shuts down on SFOS. But Nexus 4 is waaay better supported for SFOS then Nexus 5. It almost feels like Nexus 4 is official phone. I can't tell it about Nexus 5 though.

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

@mosen, @nthn, @matemana;

Note that it is NOT @salyavin who is bashing SFOS here.
He's just quoting from the osnews article he linked to... :)

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

Yes, i hope i made clear i meant the OP of the article! Thanks @salyavin for finding and sharing!

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

Absolutely! I wanted to post my comment on that site, but comments had already closed. At least a couple of other people already made some remarks.

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

Does anyone know if it's possible to change the general threshold of swiping.
IMO, It's harder to swipe from every border of the screen since last EA SFOS update.
Is it just me ?

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

No, it's not just you. It's really harder..

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

I'm asking this because Coderus did a settings in patchmanager V2 to modify the behaviour of the swipe down ( thresold )

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

Are you two on Jolla C? There have been previous reports to a similar effect.
I have not noticed any difference on my Jolla 1.

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

Yes, I'm on Jolla C No, you're not alone ! :)

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

It's a known issue on Jolla C and Aqua Fish. No problems on any other devices as far as I'm aware.

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

2.1.0.10 just popped up. 110MB (coming from 2.1.0.9 EA).
Release notes from TJC
2017-03-23: 2.1.0.10 Early access release for Jolla 1, C and Tablet. Fixes for instance for camera ticking and CalDAV sync issues.

https://together.jolla.com/question/...tes-210iijoki/

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

Funny, on my Jolla1 on 2.1.0.9 EA it says only 20MB.

edit: Although i thought something might've been corrupted I've tested it for you: No problems whatsoever, fastest SFOS update I ever did. Forgot to undo my patches, though, but you can't blame the update for that. :)
edit2: None of the patches were really affected... I now disabled and re-enabled them, restarted lipstick and everything is nice again.

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

20MB on mine too. Downloading very slowly.

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

I am stuck with 2.1.0.9.
Keep getting notified for new release 2.1.0.9 but in settings it seems updated to 2.1.0.9 already.
Problem is that I cannot update, because it cannot search for an updated version. Keeps saying that I checked two months ago! and that's it.
I'll try to update via terminal, again! as previous version. Same problem!

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

Oh. Dang! This is still early release. Should read more carefully. My tablet is still on 2.0.5.6...

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

Would love to know what the cause of that damn camera tick was....

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

Damned :eek: After all these years...

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

Might be slightly off topic, but I've noticed I have a very high load average (~13). I started noticing issues a while after I upgraded to 2.1.0.9 on fairphone 2, where new processes/apps won't start.

Can people please post the output of the uptime command along with which device and SFOS version they are using, so I can judge if this is normal? Thanks.

Re: 2.1.0/Iijoki EA
 

Chris Adams is making an effort to rout any CalDAV/CardDAV issues. He has invited community members to meetings on IRC and has posted up some rpms for people to test here:
