As far as I understand it, the MMS specification looks and feels like a relic of the 90's and is incompatible with mobile internet (such a thing did not exist back then).
So, the phone has to juggle with two different APNs. Ask frals, who did the implementation of MMS on the N900.
Not a single note on alien dalvik improvements. Installing paid apps still crashes play.!
Indeed. So, sadly, the compass still doesn't work with Android apps. But I don't think you'll see Jolla fixing the Play Store - they do not support it.
For me the compass is working under alien dalvik, i tried mapswithme, OsmAnd~ and Gps Status.
You are right! Weird. When I tested earlier it definitely wasn't working at all. And now it is. I've rebooted (to clear another issue) since, so maybe that did the trick.

That would be understandable and acceptable, sure.
But IS it a play-store issue, or is it a matter of supporting android api's/features properly?
Another couple of things that bugs me the most, the notifications screen (or whatever it is called) feels much to unused. Jolla should find out how it could be utilized better, a lot of screen estate is lost to nothing.
And...being able to categorize applications somehow. I have a jungle of applications now (even if I am not a user that installs too much crap) and I'd prefer them in maps or categories rather than launching that community-developed Quick Launcher (not that its a bad application or anything, its fine).
EDIT: Oh, the email-application just bugged out on me. On the main screen (listing the different accounts) I couldn't selected any of them. It was like the gui elements was disabled. Restarting the email app and the accounts were clickable again.
When it happened I had viewed a mail, zoomed out of it so that I could see the dots to go back. Then at the main mail screen, no accounts were selectable (even though they looked the same as usual).
Also just wondering, as I expect to get my phone on April 14 will there be another update by then? Just askin' ...
Also, as I'm a big fan of mms, has anyone tried using an android app to do mms as it currently appears to not work on Jolla phone. The app I use on my android phone is called Hangouts
One more thing, for those in the US where data on Jolla phone is nonexistence. I just found out that you can get 2.5GB data on T-mobile for $20 a month using their 4G Hotspot device. Though not a perfect solution it is doable for many situations.
No, it didn't. Or, more accurately, it didn't work in most Android apps. It was a bug acknowledged by Jolla (on together.jolla.com) on Jan 20th and not fixed in the Jan update.
