In daily use, I found the battery life to be comparable to N9, maybe a little better.
Probably future upgrades will improve this. In some rare cases Alien Dalvik might wreak havoc. You'll notice this when your device gets warm and the battery level drops noticeably fast. A reboot or restarting the aliendalvik.service fixes this, though.

Any thoughts about reception quality? I know it's probably the hardest thing to do objectively, but a rough comparison with a previous device would do.

And if you sailors are continuing working in optimizing OS power consumption performance?
Hard for me to judge proper lifetime personally because at least half the day, I'm plugged into USB while working on device. But I haven't had too many problems outside contacts/android related areas.

Rest assured, we are still working on things though

Sorry. Add a 'pkcon refresh' after the 'ssu ar mer-tools'

Ok now i want "the otherhalf" battery- i want to charge my phone no more than once a week with heavy usage!
This is the main thing that i dislike on the modern smartphones- you have to charge them almost constantly and when you need them most they die qnd you need to charge tbem again!

Keeping location setting OFF seems to make battery lifetime feasible. When I enable location, there is GPS icon blinking all the time and battery draining is significant. From 100 % to shutdown in 8 hours.

GPS on and looking for satellites all the time?

Sigh, I so want to continue following this & related threads, & read/contribute_to the recently established "community brain dumps".
But, I've got so much going on lately that I simply MUST tune out from all Jolla/Sailfish/maemo.org related reading for approx. 4wks, maybe more.
If anyone sees me before then, even if I'm only "lurking", feel free to chastise me & exclaim that I have no will power.
For those that can afford to stick around, enjoy the ride/show, & seasons well wishes...

Better than my N9. Call quality is good too and louder (I don't think i am alone in finding the N9 quite quiet).

The best thing I can say is that I have not noticed connectivity to be an issue, be that phone or WLANs. It worked well on the Norwegian flight wi fi when my android tablet would not.

Best thing i can say is I do not notice it, certainly not an issue I have had yet. Never seen the device out of range yet!

And then please run:

Code:
lspci -k
lsmod 
lsub
Edit: Why those packages are not included by default in the "development mode", they are very basic diagnostic tools?
Edit2: usbutils
Installed pciutils but lspci -k doesn't show anything, sorry.

that's exactly, why i love a replacable battery. just buy a second one and plug it in, when the first one runs out of power... great!
