Note: On first boot after the upgrade, you will experience delayed

you have installed on your Jolla). Wait for a bit before you attempt to
launch them. If the environment has not been fully loaded, you will
experience apps closing on startup.

Fetch the update
—————-

Important: You need a working Jolla account configured on your device in
order to receive update notifications. If you are unable to successfully
configure the account, please visit account.jolla.com and try to reset
your password.

If your Jolla is connected to WLAN network, an OS update notification
should pop up shortly. If you just can’t wait, you can manually trigger
an OS update check as follows:

– Open Settings app
– Go to System Settings -> About Product
– Pull down the pulley menu and select ‘Check for update’
– Once an OS update notification is received, tap on it and follow the
instructions.

Do not reboot the device while the OS update installation is in
progress. The process takes up to 10 minutes. During the update, the
device screen might blank out. You may awaken the display by a short
press on the power key to monitor the progress. When the upgrade has
completed successfully, you will see the LED light up red before the
device restarts.
