First thoughts about the (pre) Sailfish OS 2.0
 

Sailfish 2.0 looks very very nice!
Although, there are some things that bothers me, like no swipe down to lock phone directly.
It brings you an ambiance (profile) select menu, where you can also click the lock button... :confused:

Another thing: Volume buttons are not tied to media volume anymore, unless there is an app running on the background that uses sound :confused:

No more triggered action covers... They are now just normal buttons... I thought sailfish was all about gestures and using phone in a different way? People might say: homescreen is horizontal now, so using the triggers might not work out << wrong! You can still use edge swipe to bring out the other homescreens.... So i dont know why they removed this nice feature at all..

Seems like many of those can be patched yes...
In other words, this is Sailfish OS 2.0:

Works for me with QuasarMX, no idea about other apps, maybe them not using media resource properly.

ahh got my hopes up thinking it was released.

While I'm sure that context-aware volume control is a great addition that will be useful to many people, particularly phone users, I wouldn't mind if there was a setting that turned on/off context-aware volume control, as that would probably get annoying when I'm multitasking on the Jolla tablet.

Why should I need to stop what I'm doing (e.g. reading) and switch my focus to another app just to adjust volume when I can just use the volume buttons instead?

I don't know what are you talknig about, but volume buttons working same way as before: If music playing it control music, if not it control phone.

Thanks for the clarification, coderus. I don't own a Jolla phone, so I was speculating based off of what I've read about this so far. I think I'll just stay quiet on this topic until I actually have the hardware in my hands. :p

Well... At least the stock web browser is better than ever before.

Sorry for the confusion, I edited the first post to make it more clear what I mean


Nope, old behavior is "Always change media player sound, even when there is no app turned on that uses sound"
The volume buttons NEVER changed the ringtone sound on old sailfish versions.

You seems to be confused with harmattan.

What about text wrap? The most missing feature for me :)
