Re: Advanced text entry on Sailfish (Swype or similar)

Yes. I'm actually OK with the terminal input on Jolla. I don't use it enough to have great ideas about how it could be improved, but when I do use it I think it's pretty good. The terminal itself...

Re: July Update 1.0.8.X

+1 for click divider to explode to show free time, but I would be happy with just having a glanceable read-only agenda at the top level of the OS for now.

Re: Advanced text entry on Sailfish (Swype or similar)

Yes, but I've already explained in this thread why I don't think that is a useful point of view, i.e. as soon as we discuss it here, it's not a secret so you may as well ask.

If this...

Re: July Update 1.0.8.X

First: thank you w00t for taking the time and trouble to engage here [again], even though this is not an official Jolla support channel. I appreciate it a great deal, and I am sure that others do as...

Re: July Update 1.0.8.X

Perhaps this is the update where they finally make the calendar functionality useful? You know, with notifications for appointments, appointments which display at the correct time, and some way of...

Re: Advanced text entry on Sailfish (Swype or similar)

Hmm. Was this in English, or another language? I've only used Swype on N9 in English and I found the experience mostly very pleasing. One or two words consistently guessed wrong, but other than that...

Re: Advanced text entry on Sailfish (Swype or similar)

Not sure if you're joking, but if you're serious: there is already a long discussion here in a public forum about whether or not it's safe to release this software. Swype's legal department can see...

Re: 1.0.7.16 is here !

Since this update I am mostly very happy with my Jolla. I have only two serious problems remaining:

No 3G possible in North America. Radio doesn't cover enough bands. OK, so that's a hardware...

Re: 1.0.7.16 is here !

Yes. I'm in Canada and using LTE. I was already using it before this update with the hack, but couldn't make or receive phone calls. Now I can, sort of (see edit below).

Downloaded a 25MB file in...

Re: google calendar sync

OK, enough talking to myself in this thread.

To resolve the issue where the removed calendar would not re-create, I deleted my Google account from the...

Re: google calendar sync

Thanks, but this isn't working for me - partly due to my experimentation, no doubt, but there is a definite lack of configurability even after the update.

Somehow I've managed to delete my Google...

Re: Sailfish now on 1.0 (Jolla MWC announcement)

No issue here other than curiosity about why people still use MMS, which people have answered, so now I know!

Me? I tend to use email a lot for sending images, as I don't typically need a quick...

Re: Sailfish now on 1.0 (Jolla MWC announcement)

Yes indeed. That all makes sense. I don't know anyone who uses MMS in either of the two countries on two different continents where I live my life, which is why I asked my question about MMS.

I...

Re: Sailfish now on 1.0 (Jolla MWC announcement)

I know this will sound like a snarky TMO question, but I'm serious and not trying to troll you (honest!): what is attractive about MMS in 2014? Is it useful when you don't have data? Or what?

Re: Sailfish now on 1.0 (Jolla MWC announcement)

I generally agree with you, but I don't think Jolla are in some way getting a "free ride" from this board (not that they are likely to change their behaviour too much).

That LTE support is still...

Re: Sailfish now on 1.0 (Jolla MWC announcement)

Valid point, but be sure not to confuse developer bug-squashing reality with consumer usability concern anxiety reality. They are two different and conflicting realities, and both must be taken into...

Re: Sailfish now on 1.0 (Jolla MWC announcement)
