| Heavylobster_ | Hi, i'm having some trouble with the android support on XA2 | 08:59 |
|---|---|---|
| Heavylobster_ | i suspect, but don't know for sure, that this is an IO problem: i'm seeing issues with android apps across the board, such as whatsapp being unable to download images/videos etc but otherwise works fine | 09:00 |
| Heavylobster_ | and the aptoide store (installed from the Jolla store) fails to download any apps whatsoever (with a vague error message that simply says "ERROR") but also otherwise works fine | 09:00 |
| Heavylobster_ | i've had the problem ever since the android support came out for XA2 but have yet to find a solution | 09:01 |
| Heavylobster_ | don't suppose anyone has any ideas here? | 09:01 |
| leszek | Heavylobster_: on which version of SFOS are you right now? | 09:03 |
| Heavylobster_ | leszek: 3.0.3.9 (Hossa), should be the latest | 09:04 |
| leszek | Heavylobster_: I am pretty sure I installed tons of apps with aptoide | 09:05 |
| leszek | mainly I use f-droid though thats true aswell | 09:05 |
| leszek | but definitely used aptoide a.k.a. store before | 09:05 |
| Heavylobster_ | yeah, and whatsapp also seems to work for everyone else, I haven't heard of anyone else having this problem besides myself | 09:05 |
| leszek | as for whatsapp I don't use it so cannot tell you anything about it | 09:05 |
| leszek | Heavylobster_: have you some weird mountpoints or did you mess with the system otherwise by using tweaks or patches from 3rd parties? | 09:06 |
| Heavylobster_ | interestingly f-droid does work for me | 09:06 |
| Heavylobster_ | i dont have any third party patches and mount points -should- be the stock ones, i haven't touched those either | 09:07 |
| leszek | Heavylobster_: also try maybe go to settings -> apps -> store (aptoide) and clear the cache and restart the app (or restart ad just to be sure store is restarted aswell) | 09:07 |
| Heavylobster_ | leszek: clearing the cache + restarting ad made no difference | 09:10 |
| leszek | weird indeed. Toggling Wifi maybe (if you use it) | 09:11 |
| leszek | otherwise try removing aptoide and reinstall or clear data of aptoide aswell in settings | 09:11 |
| Heavylobster_ | already tried with both wifi and mobile data, both have the same problem | 09:12 |
| Heavylobster_ | clearing data didnt help, will try reinstalling it | 09:12 |
| Heavylobster_ | reinstalling it also makes no difference | 09:14 |
| leszek | makes no sense to me then. aptoide is working fine here | 09:15 |
| Heavylobster_ | i do think that it's a "deeper" problem though since aptoide is not the only android app I have issues with | 09:16 |
| leszek | yeah. Maybe reinstalling AD will help | 09:29 |
| Heavylobster_ | does uninstalling ad also uninstall all android apps? or will they be there after I reinstall it | 09:30 |
| leszek | it will uninstall them aswell | 09:31 |
| leszek | also maybe another android app might be causing this. Everything is possible I fear | 09:32 |
| Heavylobster_ | okay, I'll give it a shot anyway | 09:32 |
| Heavylobster_ | thats interesting, trying to reinstall ad crashed my phone | 09:42 |
| Heavylobster_ | that is, it locked up completely and then rebooted | 09:42 |
| Heavylobster_ | worked fine on the second try but the main issue remains | 09:43 |
| Heavylobster_ | it also turns out that none of the android apps were uninstalled (though of course they wouldn't run without ad) | 09:44 |
| Heavylobster_ | is it possible that there could be some kind of filesystem permission issue? | 09:45 |
| Heavylobster_ | hmm | 10:14 |
| Heavylobster_ | problem solved! | 10:14 |
| Heavylobster_ | removed the android_storage folder and then reinstalled ad and stuff just started working | 10:15 |
| Heavylobster_ | not entirely sure why, but hey, it works! | 10:15 |
| leszek | Heavylobster_: nice :) | 10:55 |
| fox2 | Hello kind people! I have a question. I want to move away from Android, and I own an Xperia XZ Dual Sim, but I don't see it as a supported device at the website. Is it possible to buy and install some Sailfish OS, which will work well on my phone? Thanks! | 14:43 |
| x2s | fox2: sorry, not possible. The official support is right now only for the Xperia X. | 14:58 |
| fox2 | Thanks for the reply! | 14:59 |
| x2s | We're waiting for the release for XA2 devices. But that's still in Beta... for half a year or so now | 15:00 |
| fox2 | I just bought the XZ 2 months ago, and I found recently, that there are alternatives to Android, so I decided to check if I can use my phone with this OS... | 15:01 |
| mal | it depends on whether you need some android app support in sailfish os? sfos can be ported by community to that device also, but that wouldn't have android app support | 15:03 |
| fox2 | So far the apps which I really need are Whatsapp and a Nextcloud client for calendar/notes etc... :) | 15:05 |
| mal | there is no native whatsapp for sailfish | 15:06 |
| fox2 | oh, I see... so pretty much I need an Android support... I guess I'll search for a second hand Xperia X... | 15:10 |
| martin_st | just as a side note: Xperia X android version currently is 4.4 and will probably not be updated. Not sure what android version whatsapp needs (or is going to need soon) | 15:13 |
| mal | martin_st: at least whatsapp still works with 4.4 | 15:16 |
| martin_st | ok. Just wanted to mention that buying an Xperia X now for SFOS might not be the best decision for the future, if you're dependent on android support | 15:20 |
| fox2 | Thanks for the tips! | 15:20 |
| FloR707 | Hi, I would need some help with a row in a SilicaListView. The row has four items. The first is an image with a fixed with. The other three are text where items three and four contain a fixed amount of chars. How do I set the with to the three text items so that they use the entire screen width? The text of the first text item can be clipped. | 19:03 |
| coderus | Don't use row, or use rowlayout | 21:25 |
