Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

I think I've had to do something like that only once on SailX. And I use the browser daily.

Perhaps it depends on visited sites, and I happen to visit such that don't cause problems.

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

Yeah, I found out here that a new version has been published on Openrepos, I was using another one and didn't know there was now an alternative. Thanks!

As for N26, version 3.9 downloaded from Aptoide seems to work. The application is stamped as trusted for this version, but I am still not so confident about using a banking application uploaded by a user on Aptoide, even though it successfully passed the malware checks. I don't understand however why the version that I had on my Jolla C (whatever version it is) refuses to install on Sailfish X.

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

Will Sailfish X work without problem on the XA2 Ultra? (higher resolution)

Is android support coming? I wonder why it's not just a slightly tweaked rebuild.

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

Just a quick (related?) remark: some Canadian banks software (I recall the TD one for sure, and maybe also ScotiaBank?) refused to install on Sailfish X (Xperia X) without any verbose explanation, albeit it was happily working on J1. I remember mentioning it here but never really got anywhere https://together.jolla.com/question/...dalvik-issues/ . I moved out from Canada, so I don't pro-actively care anymore.

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

Is it possible to install Sailfish X to XA2 without SIM-card?

Just testing first..

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

yes it is possible

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

Yes, *BUT* :

- when you put a SIM card inside an Android phone, Android will try to make an OTA upgrade of various things in the firmware running on the cell modem.
- Sailfish X is incapable of doing that (only the upgrades that the firmware currently running on the SIM card and inside the cell modem is able to perform autonomously will be upgraded. Upgrades that rely on Android won't be done)
- back with the Xperia X, I did directly flash Sailfish X and I did experience some 3G connection problems (specially when roaming). The official solution according to Jolla was to backup Sailfish, re-install Android, perform the cell-modem firmware upgrade by using the SIM under Android, and re-install and restore Sailfish.
- with my Xperia XA2, I did first boot android with a SIM, and did not have 3G/4G problem.

So I would advise you to first:
- plug your future SIM into the smartphone first.
- let the phone download its modem upgrades (something along the lines of "Optimizing connection to your current provider" displayed on screen)
- reboot the phone as instructed by the upgrade procedure.
- now you can remove your SIM and do your tests.

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

Only problem is that I must cut sim to nano size. And if I am not satisfied with Sailfish X and go back to my old phone, I must plaster it back.

Maybe I´ll try with prepaid card..

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

Can't unlock my new ****ing XA2 bought on amazon even if developer mode says it can be rooted it is fake and impossible.

I will never buy sony garbage phones they deserve to DIE :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

They can go f themselfs.

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

Did you try with USB3? I had problem with it. Try with USB2.

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

Thanks that fixed it. Now it is unlocked...

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

and that nonsense really should stop. I mean, USB 3 is more than a decade all...... Most new laptops come with just USB 3.1. On the other hand, most phones are still USB 2 and data transfer works on USB 3 but for anything over ADB you need USB 2.
But hey...... we have 4k disply on 6" :rolleyes: And we have USB-C port. Which came out 10 year after USB 3 was introduced. But we are using it just for USB 2. :rolleyes: effing *****s. It's not just SONY.

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

Cant decide if I should sell the damn phone or not. I just bought it cause of sick of ugly pace of **** android. However I ****ing need the bankid and it does not work on sailfishos even after instal google service :(. You have to signup for bankid using QR code and have google service installed but also the camera must work. But it seems bankid just freezing when try activate the camera. Any one seen similar issues with android apps using camera?

The only must have android apps I need work is bankid and swish and postnord. Non of them works. :/

I am damn suprised that the banks ar so f.. dumb and expect everyone to have a google play enabled phone or IOS to pay their bills. This should be something EU should do something about!!!

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

It's not the same for every bank. Now I have (still) stock XZ2 but before that I had moto x play with custom ROM (AOSP extended), so, rooted, no sign of google on it (I was using f-droid and yalp) and my app which I mostly used just to get an authentication code and then the rest in the browser was working just fine. And bank is part of intensa sanpaolo group so not something small and local.

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

I totally agree with this.

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

So do I.

Just received a letter from a bank telling me they need to enable two-method authentication for log-in. Talking always about password and 'app'. This two-method log-in (two out of three) being a new EU regulation coming into force in autumn 2019!?? :confused:

Seems we all will be cursed soon(TM). :mad:

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

It can be done in different ways. Via app, sms or dumb pin calculator.

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

It can be done in different ways, yes.
But carrying a pin calculatod with you?
SMS would be fine but sould need to be a different device (my experiencs with another bank!)! So carrying a second device.
Methods could be
something you know
something you have
soemthing you be

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

I actually am contemplating going with the physical PIN-calculator way. You don't have to carry it with you, you know... There are ways like hacking it so that it sits safe @home and is connected to a local server where you can connect to it via ssh :D

Reminds me what I did once with an old-style RSA-keyfob, the kind which has changing 8-digit code on LCD screen. I fitted it in a box with webcam, then I could use the codes where-ever I was!

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

Soumds 'a bit' like foiling the safety idea behind, or? ;)

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

I'm using a physical PIN calculator for my bank for several years now - it's not so bad. :)

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

I had to put some -i option in there. Can't remember the code following it. Have to look it up at home

EDIT:
found this one on the web:
I my memory it was 0x29... but my memory fails me lately. :D

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

All banks in sweden using bankid to identify you as person. Infact it is even worse: Almost all online payment you do in sweden you expect to have bankid. It's used to "secure you are the person buy it". Also can be used to login at dentist, hospital etc.. And most people do.

Now the idea itself is good. To identify with phone since that something most people have. BUT it should not depend on Android or IOS it should work on EVERY damn phone available including "dumb phones" and phones for old people who prefer non touch garbage and instead has phones with big physical buttons. For a critical thing like bankid it must work for everyone!

They could have used some kind of open source block chain instead of their crap solution. Its just plain stupidity. When I think of it why the freak should google have peoples info every time they go to dentist? I mean how do I know they API does not get sent to Google/Apple? How can we trust that API? Its just...


Also history repeats I remember around 2000 we had similar issues you could not use Linux to login at the banks because they did not trust Firefox and Linux and they only trusted Internet explorer and Windows not even MacOS was supported back then /facepalm...

They never learn. And most people does not care. They say "it works for me, stop being geek go buy Android".

Then in some year Google changes API again in dish all Android versions except latest. (As they did last summer) and as customer you yet again have to buy latest and coolest pace of garbage Android device. And of course old people, or young without a job, has low budget can't go buy a new f... device every year just because the banks are *****s.

So sick of it.

/bashing off...

It does help sitting here bashing. sorry...

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

I also has that variant but it does not work when using https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swish_(payment) , or identify yourself at skatteverket etc.. So that is not a solution.

Also those PIN calculators is a huge joke. Especially for older people since you have to put plenty of numbers and replies just to login also the screen is tiny even for my eyes.

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

I hold my TAN calculator to the screen over a flickering gif that transfers all those numbers. I can then check on build in digit display the transfered numbers and get a 6-digit TAN afterwards.

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

end there's your answer to all the questions why everything sucks. People will take convenience over everything else without thinking. No one thinks about what may come after.Or at least not until it comes.

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

It's even worse than that. Even when it comes, the vast majority will not put two and two together and realize it came because of their actions (or lack thereof).

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

In Norway i use mobile bankid. It works great. No app or browser needed. Android app from S bank works also. Everything running on Jolla 1 and Jolla C

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

How does this mobile bankid work, is it based on sms?
Or one of those things that's stored on simcard?

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

I think it's stored on simcard.

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

Today I was very near go back to Android since Dalvik spotify seems not to work.

BUT then I found this:

https://openrepos.net/content/wdehoog/hutspot
and https://openrepos.net/content/wdehoog/librespot

So now one of my problems is solved but bankid, swish, still problem. So I have to keep my Android also.

Btw I think we need a good telegram with support for send photos would be nice. There is a promising telegram client in openrepos but it missing some must have features such as send pictures.

Also an matrix client would be nice.

And a working nextcloud app. The one downloaded in store did not work.

Now why on earth is librespot and telegra'me, not in the official store? This is something people uses for got sake.

Jolla could kill librem in five minutes if they just was more about privacy.

Phosh is a huge joke compared to SFOS. It no where near being something. I mean GTK its not near touch friendly as QML.

SFOS should ge ported to librem5 if that phone ever gets released.

Another thing I hate with SFOS3 is one can't swipe to close app? Why on earth did they remove that!? Is there anyway get that feature back again with some tweaking? Please say there is?

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

Are you saying I should move to Norway ;)

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

Huh? Is this something XA2 specific or did I miss something?
I can close apps fine by swiping down (J1 and ported tablet). Just do it near the corner... either one, doesn't matter.

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

in other news, google pulled the plug on huawei's android official support

they should've known better and adapted Sailfish earlier.

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

Why not, if you need a working bank app. Try Skandiabanken.

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

Earlier? Do you mean right now they are adapting it?

Anyway, that's great news.
With the support of Huawei Sailfish could turn into the Harmattan it is softly derived from (not depending on some Android driver sub-layer if I remember correctly)
Another one of those sanctions that could in fact make the perceived losing end stronger and in this case turn the tide for Sailfish OS.
Thanks for a first necessary step in Making the Mobile Phone Industry Great Again, USA! (aka fix what you've broken)

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

no, they building their own huawei os
what a waste of energy and resources...

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

this really should tell something to stupid EU that gave up on any OS/HW production and now we entirely depend on US and Asian solutions.
Meanwhile they debate on the size and shape of the vegetables :rolleyes:

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

This is straying too deeply into politics but:
1. Would you really want the government producing an OS? Really? It is a rhetorical question but if you wish to answer it, please think about it before you do.
2. That vegetable thing is a myth. A popular one but still a myth.

Re: Sailfish X for XA2 variants
 

1. No. But let's be realistic here. Every government is way to incompetent for something like that anyway. What I meant was OS and HW that does not depend on US and Asia. At least not 100%.
2. I know. That one was just a false example of plenty other existing regulations in place that are equally stupid and pointless as that one.
