how can you know it's annoying without having it used? It works lovely on Firefox on Android.

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 
Have a number of frustrations which have caused me to wipe the phone 4 times so far

It has taken 4 wipes before the phone has recognised the white other half and installed the theme

It doesn't recognise the orange one at all

But the biggest issue is that it won't download from the jolla store - I get a message which just says "problem with store" no matter what I try to install

I'm beginning to get very fed up with this. I've checked the date, time and time zone are correct. I've tried a battery pull. I've tried disabling wifi and accessing the store over 3G. I've tried the various wipes I mentioned, but now have no idea what next to do

Be glad of any suggestions. Also doesn't seem to install dev mode either - nothing happens when I accept the terms

:confused:

I'm not sure it's well done in Firefox on Android either. It's based on assumption that you read each page once, and never scroll up. So scrolling up assumes you're finished and bringing up the toolbar is supposed to help you to navigate elsewhere. However for me - this doesn't work. I can go back and forth within the same page, and toolbar which pops up all the time can become really annoying. IMHO it's a trend of extreme minimalism which goes beyond what should be comfortably minimal.

The bag that poppy red The Other Half comes in has a transparent front side, fits the Jolla nicely, is waterproof plastic, and you can operate the touchscreen through it.
In case you want to read eBooks in the bath tub... :D

damn, I have to take this back. It seems the android apps can sometimes access the gps, but most of the time fail. Jolla has some work to do there...

Stick with it Richard . When i got back to the uk.i did a fresh install with the red oh in place and it sorted the issues, some of which i think were caused by uk sim on Finnish network .
Phone has behaved itself except for deleting all the non OH ambiances.

I will don't worry. Phone feels like it needs deep cleaning and start again TBH. I'll try that and see what happens

Am far more likely to be put off by the excessive capcha on this site - my eyes aren't good, haven't got one right yet!!

The capcha disappears after a certain number of posts. Maybe post a few more replies. ;)
