Try taking out the battery first. It usually helps(in my case) and keeps the device from issues for several(2-3) days. :)
Even starting to pry open the TOH ends the reboot loop usually.

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 

Taking off battery, and booting without TOH were the first things I tried, but no help there.
The fix was to boot to rescue console and select the option 5, "btrfs loop recovery"

Now it's running just like nothing ever happened :D

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 

Another problem has risen: what to wear?

Starting from the left: Instamat covers for Jolla, Jollas, various TOHs and Kimmoli designed pcbs.

Jollas starting from the top: Possible N900 replacer (at the moment alternative private phone), current business phone (replaces my N9 starting from today) and last but not least, hobby phone, reserved for tinkering.

Picture taken with N900. It can do better, but I was in a bit of a hurry.

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 

Any idea what you may have done that triggered the reboot-loop on your device?

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 

Not really, no. I did not think I did anyhting special to cause it.

I had just the browser and email open, I was reading TMO on the browser when something happened and the device froze first, then booted.

When it started booting up, it went to fast-cycle reboot loop, the "Jolla" text came in for maybe 2...3 seconds, then it went dark for 2...3 seconds and so on. No reaction to power button, and when I removed the battery it went straight on to same cycling after I inserted it.

To cure it, I connected it to my PC, pressed vol-down and inserted battery. When it detected the USB connection it created the IP address 10.42.66.80 on the linux box. I tried telnetting to 10.42.66.66 as adviced, but it as not reachable.
After that I manually gave the linux end the IP address 192.168.2.14 and managed to telnet to the device at 192.168.2.15.

After giving my security code as password, I got the menu and used the option 5 to break the looping.

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 

Hi. My friend in Switzerland has contacted me and said my Jolla Phone with extra keira black OH has arrived! I should have it in a few weeks! I currently have several android apps I bought from the google play store. Can I just copy the app to my jolla phone and install? What problems are folks experiencing with running android apps on Jolla phone. Is it hit or miss? Is there a list of android apps that appear to be working. On my android phones some apps are compatible with ice cream sandwich but do not work on jelly bean. Could this be an issue with Jolla. Sorry if this is all posted elsewhere. Just thought I'd check here. Thanks!

We get update in next week!! Cant wait :)

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 

Installing directly from APK works fine, but installing paid apps straight from play crashes the store. Most apps work on any newer android version (not sure what alien dalvik is emulating) and are only restricted in play.

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 

The paid apps can be found in a temp directory after play store crash, can be renamed to .apk and installed, so no problem there. Well, except for the inconvenience of finding and renaming them, but it could be worse ;)

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 

alien dalvik runs 4.1.2 if i remember.

paid apps from google play store mostly won't work. they have dependencies on the google play apps and services that need to be installed in the dalvik VM. if you install those then it might work.
