  3. 3G only 4G only (5 min – asked by carmeloferso) (Jaymzz, 08:06:48)
    1. there were some post on tjc about the possibility to add the 3G only 4G only options, as for some operators there is not a good optimizations on their networks so makes difficult to have a good connection, and for users like me that are using some networks like mentioned before, to have an option of 3G only at least, will benefit for better connection experience. some post of TJC https://together.jolla.com/question/23913/2g-3g (Jaymzz, 08:07:14)
    2. https://together.jolla.com/question/23913/2g-3g-4g-allowdeny-switches/ (Jaymzz, 08:07:21)
    3. https://together.jolla.com/question/83007/force-3g4g-only-option-for-network-selection/ (Jaymzz, 08:07:28)
    4. https://openrepos.net/content/coderusofono/patch-more-network-modes (Jaymzz, 08:07:34)
    5. Until we support VoLTE, "4G only" mode would mean no voice calls (SMS should still work though). "3G only" could be quite usable from the average user's prospective, though. ofono support for those settings is pretty much ready (although not merged yet to master) (Jaymzz, 08:07:47)

  4. Planet Cosmo Communicator (5 min – asked by VWrestle)#info How are Developments going for the new Cosmo? (Jaymzz, 08:18:15)
    1. Otto Mäkelä, community (ExTechOp, 08:18:31)
    2. How are Developments going for the new Cosmo? (Jaymzz, 08:18:32)
    3. We have not announced official Sailfish support for Cosmo (Jaymzz, 08:18:58)

  5. gcc update (15 min – asked by rinigus) (Jaymzz, 08:20:24)
    1. looks like gcc update to version 8 is on the way. What is a rough time estimate regarding it? Do you plan to use compatible ABI? (Jaymzz, 08:20:39)
    2. There are positive signs that update to newer version is done with a reasonable effort. We expect this to land in a release sometime early 2020. (Jaymzz, 08:20:59)
