rainemakquestions / topics07:04
rainemaklet's start07:05
rainemakwelcome TheKitchenSink, just-in-time07:05
rainemak#topic Getting a confirmation from Jolla about VoLTE support for 000 / 112 emergency calls when t2G/3G network/s are shutdown (5mins -- asked by TheKitchenSink, Substitute flypig)07:05
TheKitchenSinkThank you07:05
rainemak#info <TheKitchenSink> I’m looking for an official answer to my question posted07:05
rainemak#info <TheKitchenSink> on the forum here.07:05
rainemak#info <TheKitchenSink> The shutdown of 3G in Australia is due to take place Aug07:05
rainemak#info <TheKitchenSink> 31st 2024 in order to make 000 (our emergency number)07:05
rainemak#info <TheKitchenSink> calls they will have to be routed over VoLTE after this07:05
rainemak#info <TheKitchenSink> date and according to the guidance we are receiving from07:06
rainemak#info <TheKitchenSink> our carriers not all phones/operating systems will do07:06
rainemak#info <TheKitchenSink> this, so i’d like to confirm if mine will.07:06
rainemak#info <TheKitchenSink>07:06
rainemak#info <TheKitchenSink> Evidently this applies to 911/112/999 in other countries07:06
rainemak#info <TheKitchenSink> as well as more places shut 2G/3G services. My forum post07:06
rainemak#info <TheKitchenSink> does link to some documentation provided to end users07:06
rainemak#info <TheKitchenSink> about the pending shutdown and emergency call support. In07:06
rainemak#info <TheKitchenSink> the event that Sailfish doesnt support this (or support07:06
rainemak#info <TheKitchenSink> is some time away) this is something that needs to be07:06
rainemak#info <TheKitchenSink> very clearly communicated due to its safety critical07:06
rainemak#info <TheKitchenSink> nature.07:06
rainemak#info <Jolla> We are testing with Finnish emergency call centre (hätäkeskus). On07:06
rainemak#info <Jolla> next round, we are focusing our testing to the Jolla C2 Community07:06
rainemak#info <Jolla> Phone. We answer to the forum as well.07:06
rainemak#info <Jolla>07:06
rainemak#link https://112.fi/sijaintitieto07:06
TheKitchenSinkdo you have any idea what the phone will try and do if i call 000 after the shutdown?07:07
sebix[m]So it won't be ready before Aug 31st?07:07
rainemaksebix[m], nope, unfortunately not. Will that mentioned Australian operator shutdown both 2G and 3G services.07:08
rainemakor TheKitchenSink07:08
TheKitchenSinkevery australian network is turning off 3g07:08
direc85I guess it tries to find any working network to dial through that...07:08
TheKitchenSinkso there will be zero coverage countrywide07:08
rainemakusually they leave 2G as a backup07:09
TheKitchenSinkno 2g either07:09
TheKitchenSinkThis article explains the 3G network closures, VoLTE capable phones, and VoLTE Emergency Call capability, which is important to understand so that you can continue making calls, including to Triple Zero (000), when 3G networks are switched off in Australia. It is essential you have a phone capable of VoLTE Emergency Calls, otherwise you will not be able to make calls to Triple Zero (000) when the 3G networks are07:09
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o sailbot07:09
TheKitchenSinkis the official advice07:09
TheKitchenSinkhttps://amta.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Understanding-VoLTE-and-Emergency-Calls-ahead-of-3G-Closure.pdf07:09
rainemakOne thing that I would like to add is that we have seen in various occasions that operators can configure their networks very differently.07:11
flypigIs there a way to test without calling the number? My guess is there isn't (or someone would have mentioned it), but something like that'd be helpful given all the different operators Sailfish users are using.07:11
TheKitchenSinknot that i know of07:12
TheKitchenSinki know there is an established protocol for corporate testing07:12
TheKitchenSinkbut not for end users07:12
rainemakthat's why we need to reserve a special slot from local emergency call centre07:12
flypigThanks for clarifying TheKitchenSink.07:12
rainemakbut we do have cellular network testers that can be used for testing but those are not 4G capable07:13
sebix[m]So the best what Australians can do, is the C2?07:14
rainemaksebix[m], I'd assume Xperia series is the same07:14
rainemakoops, forgot to follow timing07:14
direc85Is there no Sony Xperia 10 III available in Australia(n frequencies)?07:14
rainemakdo we need extra time for time?07:15
TheKitchenSinkthe 10 iii works with volte in aus07:15
TheKitchenSinkthe question is does it route emergency calls07:15
rainemakAdding 5 more mins, so topic ending 20mins past07:15
TheKitchenSinkand i think so @rainemak07:15
TheKitchenSinkwhat i have heard is that it might be modem firmware related07:17
TheKitchenSinkso a question for sony07:17
rainemakI vaguely remember that emergency call numbers are checked from low level things... With that I'd assume that 000, 112, 911, etc would work. I didn't even know that 000 exists.07:18
TheKitchenSinkbut the relevant stanrd for aus is E000 support, and the international standard we have been told to look for is "VoLTE Emergency Call capability"07:18
rainemakThat's heard and as said we'll reply to forum as well07:18
TheKitchenSinkaccording to the warnings we are getting some phones wont use volte for emergency calls even if they use volte the rest of the time07:19
rainemakalright, hopefully this discussion shed light on this topic07:20
rainemaklet's move on07:20
rainemak#topic Jolla blog updates (5mins -- asked by b100dian)07:20
*** sailbot changes topic to "Jolla blog updates (5mins -- asked by b100dian) (Meeting topic: Sailfish OS, open source, collaboration -- 8th August 2024)"07:20
rainemak#info <b100dian> Is there any reason the recent developments (e.g. 4.6, mind207:20
rainemak#info <b100dian> etc) where not also blogged about? I would assume that you’re07:20
rainemak#info <b100dian> going to when new devices are supported, but you used to update07:20
rainemak#info <b100dian> on dot releases too.07:20
TheKitchenSinkyes thanks07:20
rainemak#info <Jolla> The Sailfish OS Forum is more suitable for writing about recent07:20
rainemak#info <Jolla> developments. Thinking is that we would be steering this kind of07:20
rainemak#info <Jolla> communication to the Forum as it is also more suitable for07:20
rainemak#info <Jolla> discussion. That said, you are right that we have not blogged07:20
rainemak#info <Jolla> recently, but we have not abandoning our blog either.07:20
rainemakLet's see what we write to the blog next :-)07:22
rainemakQuestion to you, do you see it similar that even technical / development topics should go to forum.07:22
rainemak?07:22
sebix[m]High level information to the blog, details to the forum?07:23
direc85I have enjoyed the blog posts, but the newsletter has been great too07:23
rainemakI think lively discussion on this kind of matters would be of a great help for the whole Sailfish OS community07:23
rainemakand blog doesn't really support well discussion part07:24
sebix[m]Anyone interested in jolla/SFOS will first go to the website and then sees the last news is 1½ years old07:25
rainemaksebix[m], something like that yes whilst the line between them is thin.07:25
direc85Blog posts could attract more attention outside the community, so using that for "bigger milestones" could work07:25
ExTechOpBlog posts also hit social media better.07:25
rainemaksebix[m], direc85, ExTechOp : good known feedback07:26
flypigIt's a good point about the blog getting more coverage. But I also think that's one of the reasons the forum makes it easier for Jolla to post more frequently. It can be a bit more relaxed.07:26
rainemakflypig, correct07:26
rainemakand it might be we steer also blog posting to more relaxed direction07:26
rainemakto be seen07:27
sebix[m]Let the Mind 2 do the conversion of a forum post to a blog post 😜07:27
flypigHaha; love that idea :)07:27
rainemak5 extra mins for this, topic ending 30mins past07:27
ljo_Independent of channel, please add links the now available peertube videos if linking to YT07:28
rainemakas an example, blog could have also discussion / interviews with community members let's say07:28
flypigljo_, do you have a link you can share here?07:28
sebix[m]You can also remove the comment function in the blog entirely and instead use the forum for that purpose.07:29
flypigI'd love to hear from different users all over the world how they're using Sailfish OS/M2.07:30
rainemakregarding social media... we also have now Mastodon account (abusing the topic a bit)07:30
rainemak#info Follow us in Mastodon07:30
rainemak#link https://techhub.social/@jolla07:30
rainemaklet's move on07:30
rainemak#topic Open PR discussion (5 mins -- asked by Jolla)07:31
*** sailbot changes topic to "Open PR discussion (5 mins -- asked by Jolla) (Meeting topic: Sailfish OS, open source, collaboration -- 8th August 2024)"07:31
flypigI'm so happy about Jolla being on Mastodon :)07:31
rainemak^ let's advertise our next community meeting there as well07:31
ljo_flypig: Here is the  channel: https://friprogramvarusyndikatet.tv/c/jolla, and lateat video with 13 views already: https://friprogramvarusyndikatet.tv/w/g7Kr2kfZWST6RnpdWCdSrZ07:31
direc85I am too :)07:31
flypigSorry, the topic has overspilled a bit, but thank you ljo_, really appreciate it!07:32
ljo_+107:32
rainemak+107:32
rainemakflypig, no worry07:32
rainemakmaybe not too many PRs discussion due to summer time07:32
rainemaksummer time over here, let's say07:33
rainemak#topic General discussion (20 mins)07:34
*** sailbot changes topic to "General discussion (20 mins) (Meeting topic: Sailfish OS, open source, collaboration -- 8th August 2024)"07:34
flypigrainemak: you commented on some browser PRs (thank you!) and I've not had a chance to act on them; sorry for that.07:35
sebix[m]How are the sales for the C2 going?07:35
ExTechOpSo, we are in August now. There is a lot of info about the C2, but what is the expected schedule for the Sony Xperia 10IV and V ports (I assume SFOS 5.0 also)?07:35
ExTechOpThere is a note on Mastodon about the camera being disabled in the first release, are other old bugs (like losing sound, not having echo cancellation) resolved?07:35
ThaodanEcho cancellation  not working/buggy was related to the adaptation/version of the odm/blobs this time we have much newer blobs.07:38
rainemakflypig, thanks, no worry. Struggling myself with the engine on top of 4.6.0 and devel -- could be wayland protocol related, don't know. Your version and my version with fixes (clang, glibc, rust) work on top of 4.5.0 device. Need to do small quirks to get my 5.0.0 build working on top 4.5.0 image.07:38
flypigThanks for all your work trying it on different builds. I'll upgrade my dev device to 4.6.0 next week and try to contribute to finding the wayland issue.07:40
direc85As a side note, it's great to see rapid development happening on all fronts, especially after all the difficulties last year!07:40
flypigdirec85: +1 to that.07:40
rainemaksebix[m], going steadily. Regarding the final payment, each and everybody will receive a personal link for it. You can be rest assured we won't request the final payment until we are clear with the final delivery schedule of the limited batch.07:40
direc85All* my devices are at 4.6 already so I'd need to flash 4.5 to test the browser. I understood there's no older flashable images available, correct?07:41
rainemakExTechOp, I do have my fingers crossed still that we'd get fixed vendor blobs so that we'd not need to release it with disabled camera07:41
rainemakWith current blobs, Xperia 10 V also has an issue with battery status indication not updating <= fixes were provided but we have not yet received newer build07:42
direc85I'm equally waiting for newer bolbs on X10III :)07:43
flypigdirec85, you have the moral high ground then :D I should have upgraded mine to 4.6 already too.07:43
ThaodanBut the fix is trivial, it's just adding the missing blob so battery status should be very likely unless something else comes up.07:44
rainemakXperia 10 V is usable as battery life lasts a day or so... but if you use it heavily, sudden shutdown is not nice after running out of battery.07:44
rainemakflypig, better leave also 4.5.0 as a backup07:44
ThaodanRegarding older devices we have  to have a way to work with community to update them to newer Android releases.07:44
rainemakflypig, applies for both device and dev env... for dev env, just create a new 4.6.0 target next to the 4.5.007:45
flypigrainemak, yes, I don't have any excuse for not updating to the new dev env given how easy it is to switch.07:46
rainemakdirec85, it's not about flashable or not... on top of 4.6.0 esr91 crash on about first swap right after external glcontext creation.07:46
rainemak#info If you haven't yet replied to C2 feedback survey, please give a look07:47
rainemak#link https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/jolla-c2-community-phone-your-feedback-is-needed/1952207:48
rainemakPlanned closing date is 18th Aug. As it's a planned date, it might move forward. Thing is that we do need to get survey results on our hands early enough so that we have a chance to respond, plan, act, etc.07:49
rainemak5mins left07:50
direc85flypig, are there a lot of tasks (besides cleanup) with esr91 still?07:52
rainemakflypig, great progress with esr91! I just love to follow your blog about it.07:52
direc85flypig, also, it's been very uplifting to see all the bufs getting squashed and features working!07:53
direc85*bugs07:53
ljo_+107:53
flypigThank you. And good question direc85. Audio and video, a width bug, clean up and fixing this wayland issue are the things I have in my head currently.07:53
rainemaklet's up with audio and video?07:54
flypigI've not applied the patches yet :)07:54
rainemak:-)07:54
flypigIt might be super-simple to apply them. I'm hoping so, but you never know...07:54
rainemakI feel that07:54
rainemaklet's start wrapping up07:55
