I could. but should I? when I can pick up any other device and have it out of the box.

Get your daughter an iPhone 5s. It's still powerful enough to last for another year or two and is 4''. IIRC, jailbreak is available for it too.

Eagerly waiting for a X Compact SFOS port...

Finnish tech site iotech.fi has published a long article (written by a site user FlyingAntero) about SailfishX:

Unfortunately only in Finnish

Pictures taken with the Xperia X SailfishX are really poor unfortunately.

Does anyone else have this problem and is there a solution?

OpenVPN is set up to connect automatically, and wifi is set up too. The issue is that when the VPN is connected the mobile data connection is retained even when wifi is in range.

The expected behaviour would be that switching to wifi from mobile data would be done automatically and the VPN would reconnect via the wifi, but it is surmised that this could be a security risk. There is no constant flow of data through the VPN (in this user case), so maybe it is possible to get the device to pause any data being sent or received, switch to wifi, and then reconnect to the VPN, and resume data transmission/reception?

It seems to be ok with disconnecting from the wifi (when it is out of range) and switching to mobile data and reconnecting to the VPN, but the return to wifi must be done manually it seems.

Can the priority be edited or something?

Hi.

I have a similar configuration but I'm just curious about your settings:

Is your WiFi always active so that it can connect when configured APs are in range or you managed to turn WiFi / Cellular on and off automatically?

Also, for the normal exchange of information between applications each layer must notify the 'upper' layers / apps the problems with connectivity and the upper layers / apps react accordingly.... (this is what I can recall from the OSI standard model :-D ).

For example: if you have an active ssh session and you switch the 'underneath' transport layer from WiFi to Cellular Data or from Cellular Data to WiFi, the ssh software should (and it does) keep track of disconnection / re-connection and resume working as if nothing happened, provided the time required to reconnect is short enough....

For VPN connectivity I use SecureFishNet: it's not opensource, but I haven't had time to solve my VPN problems with Connmand
Regards.

Wifi is usually always active as is mobile data. Device is expected to do the switcharoo as necessary/possible. Not using SecureFishNet but using the built-in client which works great after having added the following line to the configuration file to ensure all traffic goes through the VPN:

Code:
redirect-gateway def1
"Wifikiller" application from OpenRepos but it didn't seem to work properly (or was not configured to work properly) so wifi stays on all the time, sadly.

I'm using Saera with the flite voices. Unfortunately alsa/pulseaudio is broken on Sailfish X, so voice input doesn't work.

The ALSA issue is strange. I haven't seen any reference to it on the thread, but it was present in the community build as well as the official image. The two applications it affects (that I've found so far) are CuteSpot and Saera. In CuteSpot, songs "play" but produce no sound output. In Saera, it affects input; both the python script (which uses alsaaudio) which displays the input volume and Julius (the voice recognition engine) see no sound input. Anyone else able to confirm this issue?

A bit OT, but yes and no. The jailbreakability depends on the iOS version the phone happens to be on when you get your hands on the device. If it's too recent (say iOS 11, ATM), then good luck with that.

(Apple being Apple, you are normally not allowed to downgrade (yes, on certain terms it's possible, but you would need to have SHSH blobs saved earlier and I'm not sure whether even with those a downgrade is guaranteed). Nowadays, jailbreaking as a process is almost a joke compared to what it once was: recently the Windows jailbreak software is available first, Macs come second if at all, the jb might be a hit'n miss and/or riddled with bugs and usually you can't even upgrade to the latest jailbreakable iOS version at the time the jb finally is available as they come so late that a newer iOS version already exists. So you would often need to lose a previous jb by upgrading beforehand at the moment there's even a hint of a jb for whatever iOS version Apple allows you to upgrade and hope for the best all the while using your phone without a jb.)
