Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 

-battery life: very good.

Illustrated as: I orgot my phone when I went on a trip - not a bad thing, for I have seen more horizon and less Jolla, after 8 days I forgot where in the house I had dropped it, called the Jolla and it replied with its last remaining 4 percent. :)

Network Vinaphone Vietnam, in concrete building with so so coverage.

-dropping resistance has been tested on hard tile flor from about 50cm height. As expected the sharp edges don't wear pretty.

-overall call quality I have tested and compared two Nokia 808's and experience clearer call quality with the Jolla. (less background noises)

To conclude, at some point I will use Sailfish as daily phone , probably when the camera quality improves and call recording app emerges.

I still feel like I would pay 100 Euro-American dollars for a license to run this Sailfish OS on a Note 2 with full hardware support.
It is the software that matters.

This is a new bug
https://together.jolla.com/question/...phone-numbers/
There is a fix in the next update but it caused a real headache for me yesterday when i was out of the office and had no contact numbers to call people. There is a temp fix on that thread too.

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 

This is pretty remarkable. I had no idea it would be possible to stretch the battery life that far, when the device has network enabled.
(I wonder how long would it last in Airplane Mode...?)

My (now retired) N9 lasts about 10 days, when I no longer have a simcard in it, it sits in my house connected to WLAN and I occasionally log into it via SSH to test something.

Dear Zlatko,

Sorry but I always use the navy of my car.
When I said it was reliable, I was more focused on calls, data connection, battery and coverage.
Why don't you ask in another post your question?

regards

Battery life is definitely top notch amongst the current smart phones. But my experienced so far had been plagued by connection issues and random reboots&shutdowns.
About the offline maps - I still have not found an answer.

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 

For offline navigation I used Android app "Navigator". I tested it once with previous Sailfish OS version and after enabling GPS on Jolla and rebooted the phone, it worked just fine. Only issue I found was that the map was not always pointing to the driving direction.

anyone able to install google now launcher??

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 

I would say that will never work with jolla

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 

I can't see myself not touch the Jolla for the time flight mode battery life will last ;)

Yesterday I just forgot Microsoft Skype for Android - which I still have to use to keep in touch with a few business contacts- yet it only took 20% of battery during a whole working day including a little car traveling (20km), no other significant operation.

Other systems including Symbian would punish me with a quickly drain battery.

I can say that the Android subsystem despite snooping away significant memory resources behaves nicely with regard to battery - at launch I kind of expected the opposite.

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 

agreed with the battery observation. coming from the n900 with skype and yappari enabled, the jolla experience has been stellar. i now leave skype, whatsapp, lync 2013, all running in the dalvik VM full day. my battery lasts through the day for me (which is sufficient for my needs as i can get to a charger at home when i'm back).
