Well, most of us got our Jolla's in time for the holidays and a BIG thank you to Jolla for staying on track with their promises - you've for sure given us all a festive season to remember! :-)



Personally we want to thank all of you guys who help and contribute to make the overall Jolla community such an integral part of the whole (Christmas) pudding and look forward to the New Year and what is to come!

In the space of only a few days, the community has already provided some solutions to the lack of a 'file manager', the 'battery drain' issue, 'flash' player to name a few things... just think what can be achieved in a few weeks or even months!

We all know that without the openness from Jolla and the open source way, these kinds of issues could have taken a lot longer to resolve.

This comment earlier on the blog from MrMI made me smile and just about sums it up:

This is just wonderful :) There is a problem spotted with #Jolla. No worries – the temporary fix arrives practically in a second and the developer team is as well informed. Just think, how long it took with WP to get a fix for battery draining issue..

This is opensource as it’s best. I’m very impressed! Please continue this amazing work :)

A huge thank you to @andreibechet and @technicus who have been so helpful here and always around to give advice etc - hope you have a great holiday guys! :-)

And a special thank you to our co-writers @Simo for writing some great articles and who worked very hard to find the cause of the battery issues (with your help of course) and to @jjaone for his great contributions too... and just everyone! :-)

So, happy holidays to one and all and I trust you have a wonderful time wherever you are - enjoy! :-D

Peace, Timo

PS. 100% to 97% in 4hrs with very light useage using the permanent fix (thanks to Znurre)= not bad in my book!
