Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 

Sure, I agree that it would be better than those reports posted through social networks. If Jolla opens up an official bugtracker, you can transfer bugs there in theory. But let's try to hear from Jolla first, what's going on. I don't really understand why Jolla set themselves up for such problems, launching a product without proper infrastructure ready. May be it's just lack of resources issue.

and this is exactly, where we could fill in...
well, just an idea

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 

Can we stay on topic 'Jolla User Experience Thread'

User experiences, no bugtrackers etc.
Show us what we can expect. Opinions coming from the early birds in what's good/new and what's bad or could/should be improved (all in UX and day-day usage)

Sure, let's redirect community related discussions here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=91721 (bugtracker, and so on).

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 

I guess I figured out what the problem of enabling developer mode was. It had to be one of these things I had on my device:
- I had device localized as finnish
- I had no simcard inserted (was using WLAN)
- I set device lock ON

I tried without these, and now it works ( I restarted numerous times with different combinations, between tries I used the "reset device" to wipe all settings and start fresh. )

Finally I can conclude it is the localization that is propably the cause. When I set up the language as "English (br)" I can install developer mode OK.

Now, a question; so can I change localization back to Finnish after enabling Developer Mode?

Well, the device screen is definitely not so bright as N9. Not even when brightness is st to maximum.

As the screen is lcd it cannot match oled display, even though some people dislike the pentile oled of N9.

Also some co-workers noted to me that the scrolling is not "buttery smooth" when you scroll from screen to screen quickly (even as the slow srolling by finger is very smooth)
I myself do not notice this difference but it might ve visible to someone.

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 

I have been trying out some android apps from Aptoide market, they seem to be working fine (so far), i.e Firefox (can be used in landscape) is a bit sluggish but runs ok, Dropbox seems to work normal, also Youtube (multitasking not working tho, you cant play it in the background), Soundhound picks up tracks, Instagram works (but you cant upload photos from the app, you have to have the picture in the gallery), Spotify works, Whatsapp is the most buggiest (it is not possible to import all contacts, and there is no notification sound. or atleast not for me is working).

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 

Some people reported Amazon store working, does it work only for free apps?

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 

Yup, my point exactly a few pages back, really hoping they can finally step-up here with the proper overall community infra.
Not a hodgepodge of things spread all over the place, & "unofficially" supported.. :rolleyes:
But, people have a right to whine that it shouldn't be discussed here, I guess, so perhaps yet another thread discussing that should be spawned.
*EDIT*
I see that's been done, good stuff...

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 

A few more notions after a day with Jolla.

- Transitions between apps and screens are smooth, (native) applications run smoothly and logically.
- One of the main objectives, to get rid of small buttons and menus, has been completed surprisingly well and they have really moved past N9 in this respect. In some situations there is a button, but even then a swipe gesture to confirm is enough. New swipes and pulley menus are easy to use and efficient.
-I like a lot eg. the way they have gotten rid of the confirm buttons when you delete something. Instead they have a 5 second slider, which you can press if you want to cancel something (it isn´t used for everything). The slider doesn´t slow the user at all and he/she can continue to do other stuff right away.
- I like the way you can peak the time, internet connections, the home view etc., although I suspected it (or actually the fading) earlier.
- I also like that FB and Gtalk are integrated into the message app like on N9.
- The phone comes with a very small number of programs installed, I think nine, of which two are the store and tutorial.
-I haven´t tried many Android apps yet, but Spotify works fine and Whatsapp worked ok as well eventually.
- I really liked how the N9 fit into my hand and the fact that I could easily use it with one hand. Jolla is ok to use with one hand (I have short fingers) and the corners I get used to. Side bezels are ok, up and down bezels could have been a bit thinner. It´s surprisingly lighweight.
- The camera I haven´t tested yet properly, seems to be ok but probably needs some tuning.


Room for development :
The browser (landscape). The tabs seem to reload every time you choose them. =/ This is something I miss from N9 IF it stays like this.
The camera does not have zoom (I never use it anyway).
No music player controls in the lock screen yet.
4g support still under testing.


As soon as they fix the landscape mode for the browser the biggest annoyance for me seems to be the fact that I have to give the LPM screen on my reliable N9.
