All appeared to be fine until the final reboot, which then didn't happen and now the phone won't load up at all.

I appear to have been bricked (going from version 8 to version 10 as I didn't opt in to V9).

Just a quick forewarning folks. Hopefully this won't happen to other people....]]> http://www.jollatides.com/forums/discussion/191/tested-alien-dalvik-stop-better-battery-life Fri, 11 Jul 2014 11:15:27 +0100 Hamano88 191@/forums/discussions My results with the battery drain have seriously changed. My Jolla survives longer and I would have more juice at the end of the day.

My question is, does it actually effect the phone in any negative way? Because in android if you use app killers it really effects the phone negatively.

The way I'm using it is by closing android apps after I'm done then I kill dalvik. According to Crest a, CPU tracking app, it shows how dalvik is always running in the background using the CPU intensively.

Only thing that changed is instead of the android apps works in an instant it takes a couple of seconds, I don't mind it because the huge battery Jump is worth the sacrifice.

Any thoughts

At time of writing, the campaign is on $1,275,587USD

But if the following goals are reached, further features can be added:

$1,500,000: Micro sd card support up to 128gb (currently only up to 32gb)
$1,750,000: Split screen, ability to run 2 applications side by side - this would be amazing!
$2,500,000: For an additional $30, the tablet would be compatible with 3G sim cards for on the fly web access

Some great features there as voted for by the community - it would be amazing to have 3.5G compatibility!

We've got just under 2 weeks to help push the campaign up a level and unlock some of these great features - hopefully the addition of a retailer perk (30% discount off 20 tablets bulk buy) will help increase that total so help spread the word!

Are there any features you would have preferred or which out of those features do you like the look of the most ?]]> http://www.jollatides.com/forums/discussion/203/jolla-tablet-have-you-pledged-and-what-are-your-dreams- Wed, 19 Nov 2014 17:41:08 +0000 JollaTides 203@/forums/discussions https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/jolla-tablet-world-s-first-crowdsourced-tablet

Have you pledged on the Jolla tablet yet and will it be your 1st tablet ?

Or are you hoping to replace an existing android/ipad or other tablet with the J-tablet ?

We're very excited that USA is finally on the map to get some Jolla goodness and a number of other countries that weren't open when the Jolla phone was first released - the global reach has definitely expanded since last year!

But maybe you currently live in a country that hasn't been served by the crowdfunding - let us know!

Do you plan on using it for Linux coding ? Or maybe just a pal for your Jolla phone ? Maybe a media/games centre ? What are your expectations for Sailfish OS 2.0 ?

Not sure how we're going to be able to wait until May 2015 (WANT NOW!!), but drop by and let us know what your hopes and dreams are with Jolla's new slate! :-)

Here is what we know:

Hi all,

Here is a quick summary of our plans for this month. Our current focus is towards enabling update10 to be a stable OS update, therefore ironing out issues related to memory handling is the utmost priority right now. In addition to that, we expect to release the following improvements:

Alphanumeric support in device lock
https://together.jolla.com/question/19890/alphabetic-device-lock/
Option to keep display on while charging
https://together.jolla.com/question/37616/keep-display-on-while-charging/

A way to set default reminder
https://together.jolla.com/question/10327/feature-request-calendar-reminder-turned-on-by-default/
Our implementation: on creating a new calendar event with reminder, the reminder time set is saved and used as default for the subsequent new calendar event entries.
As protection against pocket calls, block touch input until proximity sensor is uncovered
https://together.jolla.com/question/11374/bug-accidental-unlocks-and-pocket-dialing-feature-req-disable-touch-screen-and-pwrbtn-when-proximity-is-detected/
https://together.jolla.com/question/9615/preventing-pocket-dialing-to-emergency-service-112/
Since this also means any proximity sensor faults will render the device practically unusable, it will be possible to temporarily disable proximity sensor by triple power key press.
Device lock can be activated manually by double power key press
https://together.jolla.com/question/4339/locking-the-device-right-away-without-waiting-for-the-lock-time/

Apart from finalizing update10, we will start the following activities:

start the work to update to GStreamer 1.x (latest upstream version 1.4.3)
start the work on platform UI scalability, beginning with making icons resolution independent and improving layout scaling

Jolla's native virtual keyboard, while perfectly good and more than useable, could benefit from some improvements nonetheless. Let's keep this strictly about the 'main' virtual keyboard and we'll look to cover the terminal virtual keyboard in the future.

So, what features do you miss in the native virtual keyboard if any at all ?

Much like the procedure in the last feature request, lets keep the comments succinct and precise and after 1-2 weeks, we'll put it to the vote again to present over at Together:

Example post could read like this:-

Sailfish VKB Feature Request:

can someone share some insight on Battery-Life when Low Power Mode is enabled?

As i understand it there should be a service watching the Light-Sensor anyway. so the LPM workaround should not cause more Battery drainage (except for the Screen usage).

Anyone got it running for some Days and can report?

I'm using my Jolla on the three UK network (three.co.uk) and it works perfectly. However, when roaming abroad (Belgium and Ireland), it won't let me use data. Phone calls work fine, but I get no joy with data in spite of trying on 2G, 3G and 4G. I checked the data roaming settings under Mobile network, and there's nothing there that looks wrong. Three customer services - perhaps unsurprisingly - weren't able to help given it's not a supported phone, but they were able to confirm that there are no settings on my account that should have prevented it working.

So, my question is whether anyone else has any experience with this, or any insight into what the problem might be.]]> http://www.jollatides.com/forums/discussion/189/jolla-running-antutu-benchmarking Fri, 04 Jul 2014 08:07:37 +0100 Hamano88 189@/forums/discussions

on german localization the decimal comma for separating euros from eurocent or dollars from cent must be recognized, but it doesn't. in the currencies app it doesn't matter if i enter 1 € or 1,80 € - todays exchange rate is 1.3570 US$ for 1,something € , no matter how "big" this "something" is. i must enter decimal point, but that isn't present. so i must go into the remember app, enter sum, and c&p it into currencies ...
that's it what I name usability: better input instead making a marker for the pulleys a lil more bold.

The answers I have found on this topic are that the netflix cache needs to be cleared and it should then allow the user to sign in again to your account and work as usual.

With an android phone you can just clear the cache in the settings or use an app like 'cache cleaner', however with Jolla there is no option - I tried the cache cleaner app but Jolla does not allow this level of 'file' control for android apps.

So I have manually attempted to remove cache and all netflix related files using terminal and file manager, but when I come to download netflix again it detects previous settings and the same issue occurs (netflix no worky).

I think there must be some hidden cache files somewhere that I have not been able to locate in order to remove - has anyone else experienced similar issue or know of a possible solution?

Thanks! :-)

So Clash of Clans saves data on the Jolla somewhere and everything works fine and dandy without issue.

The minor issue I do have is that the game gives an option to backup via Google+ so you can eg. load game data on a tablet etc. When you attempt to sign in to Google+ however, it informs you Google Play Services is not supported.

I have been in contact with Supercell regarding this issue imagining that as they were in the same building (neighbours!) as Jolla (in Helsinki) there must be some kind of way to make backing up game data possible on the Jolla.

I did try installing Google Play services but after that the game wouldn't load at all so I had to remove google services altogether.

Maybe it's just one of the minor restrictions I'll have to live with on my Jolla, I just thought there must be a way of backing up the game cache but maybe I'm dreaming as I think game data may be saved on Supercell servers and not locally on the phone.

Does anyone with experience know a possible workaround for this ?
