When i connect the jolla, all these usb listings and recovery listings keep popping up under network devices

juiceme | # 542 | 2014-03-18, 07:22 | Report

That might be because of you are using a MAC... unfortunatey I don't know much of those.

Now as I tried it, I was wrong earlier when I told you thet there's no DHCPD in Jolla, indeed the device gave me IP addtess 10.42.66.80/8 when I connected it in recovery mode.

I tried pinging it, and it resdponds:

juice@osiris:~$ ping 10.42.66.66
PING 10.42.66.66 (10.42.66.66) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.42.66.66: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=0.598 ms
64 bytes from 10.42.66.66: icmp_req=2 ttl=64 time=0.295 ms
^C

2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1000ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.295/0.446/0.598/0.152 ms

Then I just telnet into it and get the recovery prompt:

juice@osiris:~$ telnet 10.42.66.66

Its the use case thats attractive. I have a young daughter and elderly parents that don't have smartphones or data and always use PAYG sim plans rather than a monthly contract.

I like to have the ability to send pictures of my daughter to my parents.

I (being the geek in family) completely understand their are better alternatives to MMS in 2014, but none of the alternatives fit my use case.

And I can't think of another phone that doesn't support MMS.

Think this has already been posted, nonetheless it'll be of interest to folks who haven't seen it, esp. those who don't have a Jolla:
Hands on with Sailfish OS 1.0 (1.0.4.20) After The Release

Exactly.

Different things are important for dofferent people.
For example, @shallimus is worrying about the calendar sync support, which is something I could not care less, I hardly use the calendar in my device at all, except for checking which is the current date. (no sync needed there)

On the other hand, I have froiendas that regularily send me MMS'es, and I'd like to see them without logging on to my provider's MMS gateway page which is pretty tedious procedure.

Also 4G (LTE) was possible with MWC 2014 devices.

Not a single note on alien dalvik improvements. Installing paid apps still crashes play. Lets hope the tracker indexing problem at startup is gone.

couldn't care less about mms tho, stopped using it years ago.

Device is buttery smooth now. Battery tests to follow I guess. Thanks Jolla, you guys are awesome. Keep it up!

Did anyone else have adblock installed in the sailfish browser? At least for me, adblock doesn't seem to work after the update. And in about:addons I can't navigate at all.

In the video I linked above the reviewer claims that AD apps seem much smoother, he opens about 3 or 4 & demos them very briefly.
But yes if it's not officially noted in the release notes, then I guess one could assume he's just imagining things...

Does your touchscreen feel otherwice "too sensitive" or something? It could be caused by HW failure of course, or by something you have installed on the device?

I will try this again on some other place, being less stressed out.

The keyboard has never failed on me in that way before when it comes to writing sms or mails or elsewhere so it is indeed strange.

I even tried to be extremely careful with my finger just bouncing it very quickly but STILL it generated double numbers.

Can sweat or dirt or fat on the fingers be the cause for such behaviour? I haven't installed any weirdnesses as far as I know, so I can tell something was going on.
