Not sure, but I figure this would have been reported before? The search function on Together doesn't always show the correct threads.

I think Jolla still needs to improve the way notifications work. E.g. the Mitakuuluu app needs to be started manually (or with a special app) before you can receive notifications. Same thing with...

@giacomo: I couldn't agree more. More native apps that fill the gap between what Jolla is now and what is commonly expected will go a long way for many users.
View ArticleComment by peter-berlin
@giacomo i agree, as long as there are no jolla native apps, we (the non-techies) should have some alternatives.

We are not talking about what I should expect it to be. The question is, what should Jolla have to be suitable for non-techies? The answer is, it must be similar to something widely available, and...

I disagree. That's like buying milk and then being upset that it isn't Coca Cola(TM). Jolla is not Android and you shouldn't expect it to be.

Since Sailfish OS is now very stable, the only real thing for normal users is that their phone behaves like other phones, which pretty much means Google Play and Google Services. Normal users can't and...

Another approach is to let your Bank or carrier know that you want their app but can't install it because it is only on Play store. Make them aware it is important for at least some of their customers...

I disagree. Play should definitely not come pre installed on the phone. One major reason for getting a Jolla phone is get away from Google. Having all the Google Services pre installed there would...

Brilliant answer! I couldn't agree more. I should really start advertising that aspect of the Jolla phone more to my friends.

@Giacomo: Very true too. No interface is intuitive until you have learned to use it. And Jolla is different, hence it takes time to learn it. Once learned... everything else feels 'weird'. :-D
View ArticleComment by Giacomo Di Giacomo
I don't agree. It's not weird, it's just different, and when you start from scratch it's more intuitive than other UIs. Now that I am used to Sailfish, I keep swiping Android and Symbian phones.

There's a technical reason you can't just make the SD card available as an USB bulk storage device, as convenient as that would be: It's already mounted inside Jolla, and if you'd export it as it is,...

@yuri I have added "Sim Toolkit" to the list. Let's hope somebody implements a call-recorder app. I had it on the N9, which was useful at least once.
