I feel like the lack of swipe customization is a huge f*** you to all left handed. I cant live without swipe notifications menu but while im not technically either right ot left handed, i hold the phone with left hand because i can grip the phone better using headphones in jack (in landscape). Its practically impossible to reach right edge with my left hand so i feel crippled.

Finnish keyboard has somehow improved as my typing errors have gone down massively.

You can access notifications from left side as well.
Or what did you mean? Maybe I did not quite get it...

But it seems that Google notifications are now working. I get alarms from my calendar before meetings.

I haven't updated yet, but I am wondering if all apps are still slow to load initially (even tiny native ones)?

For me, this is less of a problem caused by SF OS but rather a problem caused by too big a screen. If I could reach the respective other edge of the screen when using the phone with either one of my small hands, those gestures would not be a problem but rather increase the number of options.

Therefore I really wish we had a smaller Jolla phone. The present device's size just compromises the idea of easy one hand operation - and thus one possible USP of SF OS.

is it just me or does the unlocking the phone take forever because the crappy side arrows take forever to load.

No change at all. Only detectable change re: performance as far as i can tell is that apps close more swiftly and without hanging now.

Furthermore, I don't think I can use this as a daily driver and will be staying on 1.1.7.28. Some of the UI changes have just made workflow too inefficient, awkward and frustrating. I really hope they actually listen to feedback this time, and at least allow us the option to customise the experience, if they don't change the default one.

you don't need to wait for them, but ridiculously a small swipe won't work, you need a more or less full cross screen swipe (which is never necessary elsewhere in the OS) and feels really inconsistent and annoying if you want to grab your phone and use it quickly.

Re: First thoughts about the (pre) Sailfish OS 2.0
 

Agreed that a small swipe should be sufficient but you could try and practice releasing your finger in the middle of the screen.

A half the screen swipe is all it takes. ;)

You can start the movement from the side to the middle or from the middle to the side of the screen. Choice, flexibility!


Waiting for Jolla to fix / include "press background of home screen" to bring up 4 favorites even when one ore more applications are open.
