There was an additional package for Certificates menu option in Settings, but the menu item didn't work on my N950. Other than that, the engine is Gecko, so you can probably hack your certificates in it somehow (not sure again :)

I would be more concerned by the banking site rendering in the browser. You my be better off with Android Firefox in this case.

Another video in Finnish.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PQortdxHEQ

I really am positively surprised by that Android support. After my short experience with Z10 I have learned to expect less. :)

All the major apps that I have to have (twitter, youtube, Spotify) seem to be fluid and work with no problems. If we have any Younited cloud users here, I would love to know how good the Android app works on Jolla.
I believe Younited has plans to bring native app to Linux and Sailfish, alongside the already supported iOS, mac, Windows, Windows Phone, Android and web.

BB10's Android support is much better now too, mind you ;)

I went to DNA, they refused to change a new one for me. They told me the only option is to send the phone to service point. Unbelievable service! I have heard that usually in Finland they will replace the faulty phone with a new one. This kind of experience really let me down. This is definitely the last time for me to purchase anything from DNA. And Jolla, let's see what you will do.

Ouch. I'm sorry to hear that. Yes, if you bought it in store go back and let them handle the service at least.

That and email care@jolla.com so that they are aware and can put pressure on DNA ;-)

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 
Another question... when you connect the Jolla by USB to a preferably Linux/BSD computer, does it present a mass storage device? Anything like /dev/sdb or /dev/sdb1 (like the N9 used to do)? Or do you have to use this multimedia-thingy protocol to access it?

Is there any way to get English language and metric units? I miss some kind of en_DK locale!

Oh me god, that's horrible. Definitely hope to have a setting for that.

Maybe I'm too ancient or whatever, but I never want to use computer-like (that includes smartphones) devices in nothing else but in english. That doesn't mean I want to live in the age of enlightenment with imperial units :P.

So a separate setting for that would be most welcome in a future update.

When I connect it to my Fedora Linux computer, there is temporarily mass storage device visible before I select the connection mode from Jolla's dialog but when I tried to access the device it won't give anything out (capacity zero bytes). After selecting PC connectivity from Jolla the device disappears and you get only MTP access.

The default browser seems stop being able to click any links every once in a while. restaring the app worked once, for other I did a reboot to make it work. Happened three times within a day now.

The mass-storage you see is a fake mass-storage profile to trick the PC into providing 500mA to charge. Otherwise there is no way to charge for sure when connected.

If you install developer mode you will also get an RNDIS device with ssh.

Unfortunately mass-storage is a pain to work with and as such has not been retained. However it should not be insanely hard to get it to work with a fat formatted SD-card in the device.

The doc is here if you want to have a go at it:

Enable and connect with WLAN. Short version: there seems to be some kind of detection bug releated network connections. Connecting with WLAN seems to fix it, at least temporarily.

Anyone with a Jolla Phone tried to root the phone yet?
Regarding AlienDalvik - to use XPrivacy with the XPosed Framework you'd normally have to root the phone first.
How/Does this work with the Jolla phone - someone would try it out pls? :o

Is the Facebook implementation into the OS selectable at first install or is it intractable bound to Sailfish? :(

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 
What are the built-in options that we have for PIM-syncing?
- calendar
- contacts
- tasks
- mail
- rsync for files
Which sync protocols are supported out of the box, which ones can be added by applications? It would be nice to have an overview of these things. To be honest, I don't have a very clear picture of how this works in general: do some syncing protocols need to be supported be the OS, or can any kind of syncing be just added by an app? For instance, if Jolla won't make DAV support (webdav, caldav, carddav), does that mean we're stuck with other protocols, or can we just build some apps to support it?
Nokia used to have Mail for Exchange or Ovi sync (discontinued and never worked well) built in - both not exactly awesome, but in some videos I've seen Exchange is still one of the first apps you can install.

I can now confirm that this works also :)

You can keep doing this with as many contacts on N9 to have their message windows open so you can switch between them. I leave the message window open for the people I message often so I can switch to them easily.

Edit: I always hoped if the email client also allowed us to do it, but it does not on N9.

This is bloody amazing??

Could you believe me if I told you that I've had N9 for over 2 years and this is the first time I noticed that it does that??
I have always came up to the "message chains level" before swiping away from it so I never noticed it can actually do this!!!

Pretty neat it is :)

Yes, that is true and I hate the USB-export feature with all my heart, unless used for very specific tasks like installing boot environment on a partition :D

The reason why it is so discusting is that if a partition is offred for low-level mounting outside the device it has to be umounted inside the device for the duration, or there'll be data inconsistency.
Making sure this works is overly complicated, you need a specific daemon to handle it and signal applications to pull out from the disk before it's umounted, or else deny the operation, and so on...

It is error prone and unnecessary since you can always use sftp/rcp/nfs/samba/whatever to transfer data over network instead.

Have you upgraded the OS? I had this issue and it made the browser a real pain to work with :-/ however the latest os release fixes this and the stock browser is now much faster with reliable link clicking. Just need landscape mode now.

Mass storage is essential and actually the only USB mode I expect on any device.

Mass storage is a f****d-up remains from the era people connected things like stand-alone-MP3-players into computers. It should be deprecated, deal with it.

This is really nice feature, as opposed to N9/Harmattan where you could not get rid of facebook et al. useless crap preinstalled on the device.
Props for that to Jolla crew!

Only issue for me with not having mass storage is that it makes it pretty hard to get photos off the phone without some aggro. Bit can always take the sd card out anyway, just not as convenient

Update to the odd alarms saga

Last night I switched from the white other half to the poppy red other half.

This didn't fix the alarm problem and may be wholly unconnected to it but today the alarm didn't go off at 6:44, nor 7:44, in fact today it hasn't gone off at all:/

Well, as Android security really is the POC it looks like, it is fair and well it should not be rooted, at least on the real root level.
Simulation of a rooted Android running on sandbox, OTOH, would be OK IMHO :D
