I am asking because i see no mention of missing FP-Reader support in the release notes, yet it is not working on my h4113. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure it's written somewhere that the XA2s don't have fingerprint support yet

Re: Sailfish OS (officially) on Sony Xperia devices
 
I use and like the ambiences a lot. Why?
Maybe because of me forgetfulness. OK I describe the way I use it:

I have three ambiences in use. All are the same picture but dyed in a different signal colour:
Red: Ringtone 100 %, vibrations on
Green: Ringtone 20%, vibrations on
Blue: Ringtone off, vibrations off
I use the volume control settings patch to uncouple the volume hardware buttons from the ringtone setting. So they only control media volume and I can't adjust the ringtone by accident.

So every time I look at my phone I immediately know how my phone works at the moment. If I see blue colour and don't want to miss a call, I have forgotten to set it in the right mode again after the last meeting. And yes you can tell me you can see that on the ringtone Icon. But no, this icon is so tiny, I would oversee it all the time.

So if you ask me, I don't want to miss ambiences and I'm not a powerpoint man.

So claiming that noone is using ambiences, just because YOU don't use them is wrong. I definitely don't want to miss them and would be grateful, if Jolla would work on them further.

Re: Sailfish OS (officially) on Sony Xperia devices
 
Re ambiences: same here, as @Fellfrosch. I have separate ambiences for Day (all sounds enabled), Night (no notifications, calls go through), Meeting (no sounds). Having different color schemes makes it easy to check what's the current setting. Having a proper device with the hardware switch for ambiences (tri-state switch on OnePlus X) and Kimmoli's code to enable it, helps a lot. No need to have ambiences on the top menu then...

Anyone else have horrendous battery life on the XA2? I mean, I still return home with 20% left but I'm pretty that's because of the large battery. It never seems to go onto deep sleep, and overnight I could lose up to 50% charge. I checked the processes running from Crest but nothing seems to be consuming CPU or RAM

Re: Sailfish OS (officially) on Sony Xperia devices
 
"no sounds" is FALSE though, because you cant set pulse volume with ambiences. also, you can use volume buttons to make silent-ambience ring, and sailfish3-ambience silent. so i cant trust those visual cues, and i wish i could.

i dont mind ambiences existing, i just want an obvious, reliable, easily-set silent mode.

After 3.0 I found that the silent ambience was not longer silent for me which was a right pain. ambiences should have a lot more control

Yeah, I've read that mutiple times the past few days to see if anyone has any fix, but it doesn't seem so. So I was wondering if anyone here has had enough time with the XA2 to have a fix or something

Has anyone else had problems with usb tethering after update to 3.0? Other usb modes seems to work like before update, but internet sharing -option gives only "currently not connected" message in usb modes

According to user feedback (haven't tried myself yet) USB tethering is currently broken in Sailfish OS 3:

https://together.jolla.com/question/...rking-anymore/

To add some context, USB tethering has been unofficially available since log ago, one would install a package from the official repositories and a "USB tethering" icon would show up when you connect USB cable to you Sailfish OS device.

This apparently no longer works even though some users report solutions based on custom script still work. Also apparently a reasonable amount of people has been using this kinda hidden feature.

My recommended course of action for interested parties is to vote for the TJC issue & add it as a topic to the next community meeting. This would ideally not only result in the feature being fixed but also finally enabled by default.

I haven't messed with the software so is it possible there's something wrong with my device? I only ask because it was in my pocket during a bike crash so the frame is cracked on all sides and there are colour marks on the screen, but other than that it seems to work perfectly. I don't know of any diagnostic tests in Sailfish.

I'm having the same problem, did you work out how to upgrade?

i upgraded all my devices with zero troubles; like: jp1, jollac, sonyx.
how i did?
unmastering packages
remove all patch including patchmanager2-3
disabling all the repos in storeman or warehouse
get updating cache of sf update

Great, sadly I have little idea how you did those things (so I'm guessing I don't need to disable any repos...)

What terminal program did you use?

## type your SSH password here

ssu re 3.0.0.8 ## replace "3.0.0.8" with your target OS version if different
version --dup ## note the 2 dash characters in front of 'dup'!

@rm250j This method is usuallly okay. However, in my experience, if you use it for an OS *downgrade*, it may brick the phone (in my case, downgrading from 3.0.0.8 to 2.2.0.29 on a Jolla phone).

Re: Sailfish OS (officially) on Sony Xperia devices
 
My Xperia X just completely died.

Internet wasn't working some reason so I went to set flight mode on and off from the new top menu to try reset it.
Flight mode was taking very long to activate so I went to reboot the phone with powermenu.
As I press reboot and lay the phone on table I forget it and continued my working on PC.

When I picked up my Xperia it was off.
Now can't get any response. Can't get any leds or vibrations by holding any buttons or by using USB cable. I removed sim and tried fastboot mode or recovery mode but still no leds or vibrations.

Is there anything I can try?

Update:
Picked up my Xperia X once again and pressed buttons to try get any response and it just woke up and booted.

It is Volume Up and Power for only 3 seconds to reboot Xperia X. The device vibrates ones. To power off keep holding and wait for triple vibrate.
I need it way to often sadly.

Sometimes instead of the lock screen i only get backlighted black screen with no notification led error code.
Most propably i misconfigured my installation due to testing all and every hack i read here. If the XA2 port does not supercede the Xperia X ux, i am propably trying a reflash and keep everyting stockish to see if the error goes away.

It is indeed not much you could have done wrong.
You can check the output of ls -l (list directory) from within the directory you named above and started bash .flash.sh from. If you are unsure if all is correct post a screenshot of the output here.
But you can see the folders content in any filemanager so terminal is not even necessary.

This really comes down to the simple question if the sony image is in place and named correctly.
There is a space character before .img in the filename you posted above. If that is present in the filename on your computer it would be wrong. But i guess the space is just a wrong representation here on TMO since it is missing when i qoute your post.

If all is correct i would suggest to open a question at together.jolla.com since actual Jolla engineers are reading and answering.
I have heard of Android Platform version related errors on macos but those where more obvious and fixed in 2.0.1.4

Here is terminal output for successful flash upon XA2. The fact that you have reached line 158 in flashing script is good news as shows ADB and Fasboot installed correctly. Presuming that you must have enabled “OEM unlocking” and “USB debugging whilst on Android to get this far and device is actually "bootloader unlocked"? To avoid any confusion this device was boot loader unlocked via Windows prior to flashing via Mac OSX.

I had the same issue; couldn't get it to work. Had to revert to a Windows machine and by following exactly the same instructions as I did for Mac OS X I was successful in flashing my XA2 with Sailfish.

Re: Sailfish OS (officially) on Sony Xperia devices
 
Could you @chilango and @ridmaur specify when that took place? As i wrote earlier, there was a problem with the script when sfosx was released. The fastboot version on macOS does not accept the "-l" feature anymore and that had to be worked around in the script iirc.

I was involved in the finding and had and heard of many successful flashes via macOS since then.

Here we go: Sailfish X Beta now available for Sony Xperia XA2 device range

Re: Sailfish OS (officially) on Sony Xperia devices
 
Interesting bit from the updated Jolla Page for SailfishX:

Quote:

13. The Android app support of Xperia X is based on version 4.4.4 now. Will you update the Android support of Xperia X devices?
With Android 8.1 app support we focus on the newest hardware (Xperia XA2 range), and currently we are not planning to deploy this solution backwards to older Xperia X models.
If this means there will be no update for the Xperia X's Android Layer or if there might be an update to e.g. Android 7 Compatiblity later on is not stated anywhere. The question was asked in the comments of the release blogpost, but looking at Jolla's communication approach in the past I'm sceptical that there will be any clear answer.

Seems to be about right. As expected no clear answer to the many questions about this on the blog, but at least this comment from James Noori on the blog seems to be quite clear

Quote:

We always said ?After we have released the support for the new XA2 range of devices, we will evaluate the feasibility of enabling newer Android support on Xperia X.? But the current situation makes the feasibility of it extremely difficult.
(emphasis by me)

So I wouldn't get my hopes up to see any work being done from Jollas side to get a higher version of android layer running on the Xperia X.
