Well, bookmarks do exist, in a way: you place 'em to the apps menu and move them to a folder called "Bookmarks" :) Lack of find-in-page sucks though.

Any ability to use led flash while video recording added??

Re: [Announce] Harmattan 1.2 beta now available as OCF for Nokia N950
 

Yes. Look at link of the youtube video posted in this thread.

1) Has ringer tones volumes improved?
2) Now that we have support for Front Camera, does Skpe support video call?

Keyboard is very much a personal thing. I think N9 has probably the best VKB one can find. And it is sooo easily customizable(I rearranged slightly buttons, putting spacebar to the right, as I am accustomed from N900). I am typing on iPhone 4S on a daily basis (as I set up&fiddle with my sisters' 4S) - iPhone's VKB is not even close to N9's one VKB for me.

anyone know how he managed to use an image as background on apps launcher?

Re: [Announce] Harmattan 1.2 beta now available as OCF for Nokia N950
 

I'd like to know too, maybe it's a feature that comes with PR1.2 :)

How does it score at html5test.com?

Re: [Announce] Harmattan 1.2 beta now available as OCF for Nokia N950
 

271 and 14 bonus points

Can someone with pr1.2 try the Cut the rope html5 game and tell if it's faster or does it support audio now ?

Re: [Announce] Harmattan 1.2 beta now available as OCF for Nokia N950
 

Does the offline routing also work now, or do we still need internet connection in offline navigation mode for routing ?

Re: [Announce] Harmattan 1.2 beta now available as OCF for Nokia N950
 

Offline routing works on my device, what do you actually miss?

Re: [Announce] Harmattan 1.2 beta now available as OCF for Nokia N950
 

Offline routing worked already without internet connection. End of November I was abroad and disabled Internet connection before driving across the border. Routing then was still no problem, also calculating new Routes was no problem.

You have to have downloaded the maps of your target country of course before over WLAN.

^No change.
Can you sign in to Yahoo after reading a news article and make a comment or reply to a comment? How smooth is that with and without swype keyboard?
Can you scroll down the comments without accidentally hitting the report abuse button?
When you scroll down the feeds screen is it easy to accidentally hit a link and when that link opens and you close it does it,
a)open it again
b)send you back to the top of the feeds screen to start over again

Can you have both charger and a portable battery powered speaker plugged in at the same time while connected on wifi and battery app running while playing a station using the internet radio app without the phone becoming unresponsive?

Re: [Announce] Harmattan 1.2 beta now available as OCF for Nokia N950
 

I'm just curious. What happens when you go to thedailyshow.com and try to play a video? How about CNN.com then scroll down to the bottom and click full site and then try to play a video? Colbertnation.com?

- Speed limits and speeding warning available.
- Speaks street name.
- Set 'home' location for quick access... going back home.
- Ability to store favorites. There's also an option to sync favorites but I haven't figured out where the app syncs to....
- Small layout out changes here and there to improve the usability (rather significant to me)

anyone would like to elaborate on the audio books and podcast support?

By default Cut the Rope use flash for audio (read here why), use this link http://www.cuttherope.ie/?html5audio=true for a true HTML5 Audio "experience"

Can someone tell me if the html5.grooveshark.com is working well on PR 1.2 ?

Re: [Announce] Harmattan 1.2 beta now available as OCF for Nokia N950
 

Can you see the time of arrival or remaining time to drive? (maybe push on remaining distance)

Re: [Announce] Harmattan 1.2 beta now available as OCF for Nokia N950
 

According to one of the bugs marked as fixed in the changelog this should be there.
I really hope it is as it's one of the things I really miss from maps on symbian. Being able to give a reasonably accurate reply to every "how much longer" from the backseat really does help a lot on those long drives. :)

Re: [Announce] Harmattan 1.2 beta now available as OCF for Nokia N950
 

Does drive give you the option to avoid toll roads (among other things) now?

Re: [Announce] Harmattan 1.2 beta now available as OCF for Nokia N950
 

I really wanted to read all that, but it was just too much of a wall-o-text for me.
I'm sure there was some really good thoughts in there somewhere! :)

Re: [Announce] Harmattan 1.2 beta now available as OCF for Nokia N950
 

Does the Drive or Map app show traffic?

Re: [Announce] Harmattan 1.2 beta now available as OCF for Nokia N950
 

PR1.2 has one of few last features I was working on before departing: face recognition. Nice work of my teammates in Gallery: if you activate face recognition, there will be small bubbles with question marks on faces without assigned contacts in pictures (Gallery shows them if you tap the picture). Pressing the question mark will bring a dialog to enter the name or select a contact. If face recognition algorithm "sees" a similar face with already assigned contact, it suggests the name. Once selected, names are shown near the faces. One can browse pictures by assigned names as well. All in all, use is simple and natural.

When pictures are shared to Facebook, Flickr, and Picasa, the names and face regions optionally transferred as well, you can select per-picture whether this information would be shared. Privacy and different settings around face recognition are available in Gallery's settings page.

The face recognition API should allow easy integration for other applications and you are not limited to associate contacts only. The algorithm is Nokia proprietary and is on par or better than what's available on the market, depending on lightning and face conditions, of course.

Re: [Announce] Harmattan 1.2 beta now available as OCF for Nokia N950
 

So we can avoid "tin-cops"? - Great :)

Wasn't this already been in the previous version? As I recall, guidance says the street names?

This was in PR1.1 for sure...

Big thanks!

Re: [Announce] Harmattan 1.2 beta now available as OCF for Nokia N950
 

No, it does not. Grooveshark is using sound playing API that is not available in Nokia Browser. It also doesn't work in Chromium and Firefox under Linux. When I talked with some of Grooveshark developers they were not interested in fixing these issues.

Re: [Announce] Harmattan 1.2 beta now available as OCF for Nokia N950
 

Did You asked... Why?

(edit, removed disturbing "dot" before a word....)

Re: [Announce] Harmattan 1.2 beta now available as OCF for Nokia N950
 

Looks like Skype is installable and works through the old N9 001 repo.

Re: [Announce] Harmattan 1.2 beta now available as OCF for Nokia N950
 

They use mp3-based streaming which is not available in Firefox under Linux by default. The API is not there as well.

Re: [Announce] Harmattan 1.2 beta now available as OCF for Nokia N950
 

So.....seems like theres no issues with 1.2 on N950. Should we expect it for N9 by the weekend? ;)

Re: [Announce] Harmattan 1.2 beta now available as OCF for Nokia N950
 

No way, the version for the N9 is quite different (i. e. no physical keyboard). More likely in one little month, time to fix some issues with this beta release.

Re: [Announce] Harmattan 1.2 beta now available as OCF for Nokia N950
 

Ok..

Re: [Announce] Harmattan 1.2 beta now available as OCF for Nokia N950
 

Only for pedestrian navigation in PR1.1

No it's not in PR1.1

Re: [Announce] Harmattan 1.2 beta now available as OCF for Nokia N950
 

Have you checked contacts? Currently when you type in an address you can click from there to set the destination. Maybe it can gather favorites from contacts?

Re: [Announce] Harmattan 1.2 beta now available as OCF for Nokia N950
 

guys do you feel any increase is the speed? like does it feel smother or anything like that?

Re: [Announce] Harmattan 1.2 beta now available as OCF for Nokia N950
 

I agree, it is very personal.

In my case, after using and experimenting a lot with VKB on iOS (iPhone, iPad), Android (large smartphones and Asus Transformer), Maemo 5 (N900), Symbian (N8, etc), I am sure that the N9 has the best VKB for my use, with great vibration+sound feedback experience. Also, the X-Terminal on N9 is practical to use because the VKB has an additional top line with Ctrl, Tab, arrows, etc. So the X-Terminal on N9 is a lot better to use than other touch-only devices.

Re: [Announce] Harmattan 1.2 beta now available as OCF for Nokia N950
 

Yes, when you plan a route you can configure avoidance of various road/transport types (can't remember if toll roads was listed, but am pretty sure it is).
