This is really strange - even with persistent journalctl logging the logs before this scenario will be vanished.

This also seems to not depend on the battery percentage since my Tablet also shut down with full battery.

Re: Jolla TABLET User Experience Thread

My first few experiences as a user:

The Display: Looks great, especially directly next to the Jolla Phone. Brightness settings are… barely affecting anything. Maximum Level is too dark and minimum level is too bright. The promised "Split Screen" feature would be pretty useful, since most of the time I get a feeling of driving around a Truck having loaded a pillow when looking at simple Applications.
The Speed: Launching Apps is a lot faster than on the Phone. But it always feels like it's fighting to fill all those pixels fluidly. Animations get sluggish, scrolling sometimes is a bit like on the n900, when everyone was just figuring out how this fluid/kinetic scrolling thing is supposed to work.
The System: I never noticed how badly SFOS is translated on my phone (German version). At times it reads like child-speak or dumbed-down dialect without genitive case where it belongs.
The Applications: Well, there aren't that many, but it's not as bad as it could have been. I miss Kodimote, but either some day I'll get someone to help me figure out how to compile it or there'll be a i486 release until then.
The Custom stuff: Patchmanager works, my favourite patches (thanks again to coderus, ancelad et al.) work. Awesome!
The Android: There's that. Lock screen media controls seem to work, which is awesome. (Tried amazon music only.) Scrolling in normal apps is a bit worse compared to native ones. Android Games work well if they use pixel doubling.
The Size: Feels a lot bigger than a Nexus7 (either generation). I don't know how people with small hands can hold it comfortably.

All in all, I am much more pleased than the previous lines would let you believe. It is a nice device.

Re: Jolla TABLET User Experience Thread

Quick addendum:
After trying to install the Quicksilver Browser Demo in my lunch break, the device didn't start new applications anymore. Boot freezes at the "jolla/intel" screen. I can not recommend trying Quicksilver at this point – the developer does not recommend it as well. ;) I might have to try to flash the device this weekend. I don't like flashing stuff.
Oh well, that's what you get for trying stuff before thinking.

Re: Jolla TABLET User Experience Thread

there is similar recovery mode in tablet, you can reset to default or telnet to it to fix problem manually :)

Nice hint, thanks! I suspect I just have to somehow reinstall the system version of qt5-qtwayland-wayland_egl. Will try telnet tomorrow.

Wonderful. Will absolutely try that as soon as things work again. Kodimote is one of the most-used applications on my phone.

I need to do this as root or user ?
Thanks

Re: Jolla TABLET User Experience Thread

Ok, it should be as root...
I get this error:

Code:

[root@Jolla ~]# mount /dev/sda1 /home/nemo/USBmount

mount: special device /dev/sda1 does not exist

[root@Jolla ~]#

What the problem ?
