And seems we can't get apps in the background, it keeps closing when i swipe away :(

Updating takes quite long because HERE Maps is a big package and the installation consists of downloading it, extracting it and encrypting the content. I might add a more information on what's going on to the installation sheet. You can safely swipe the sheet to away or even close it, the installation will be finished in the background.

The green squircle is a weird issue, I think I encountered it once too. I'll have to investigate that further. Might have an idea or two on what's causing it.

And the part about closing when swiping away - that usually only happens for drawing intensive apps, and is caused by some weird issue within QtWebkit. Not sure if this can be fixed without Nokia support unfortunately.

Is it possible for Web apps not to be full screen? Its kind of annoying.

Good point. There seems to be a bug in retrieving the view mode for Firefox OS apps. I'll fix this for the next version.

Search on Google maps doesn't work for me!
I'm doing something wrong or it is just not available?

Thanks

Chinese regulations are a bit problematic. Enough that if you select "global" for an app's distribution, it goes everywhere except China. For example, advertising is completely forbidden, and game content require some extra disclaimers. I'm not sure if this kind of platform for other apps is accepted and also some of the URLs my apps and widgets in general use might be blocked.

I'll see what I can do about this. I could write a few questions to Nokia about China.

The main issue IIRC is that Nokia have stopped selling apps for Harmattan to the China market. Only free apps are listed while paid apps are not listed there.

I'll fix this and also do some other improvements to the Google Maps app for next version.

Really? From what I have understood, it's just a limitation that you need to use lower price levels because some Chinese operators don't support billing for higher prices. No experiences on the subject though so I'm just theorizing.

Actually, if you want to give it a try already, I've uploaded the version I worked on today to Google Drive and it can be downloaded from this link https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3Sv...it?usp=sharing.

Let me know if you find anything out of the place.
