The Contacts Application (People)

"everything you could want to know but were afraid to ask"



I refer to contacts, but they are referred to as people on the Jolla, not sure why as they are not just people but could include companies etc. In fact Jolla refers to them as contacts in the Phone application!

Please not ethese are my experiences and I have tried to state information rather than judgement, not always easy though.

Firstly getting my names across via bluetooth only worked for a handful of contacts. Facebook contacts work fine on facebook sync.
Facebook user image is used as the avatar
Clicking on the avatar you can

Select another from gallery (phone memory only, not SD card)
Remove avatar

Deleting multiple contacts is not possible, they can only be deleted one by one.
If you have a lot of contacts under one letter you have to scroll up and down to get back to the all contacts view, not very easy.
You can’t reorder the phone details within contacts or chose the primary number.
You can view a list of all online contacts.
No ability to group contacts.
You can set a contact as a favourite, which appears at the top of the contacts page.

This is done by clicking on the star outline which is then filled

If you have favourites that have avatars the will appear in moving tiles when the contact application is minimised.
Recent call shows below favourites on the contacts page
Quality of the Avatars is far better than the N9
There is no information from Facebook such as last status update
There is an indicator to show if they are live on facebook chat

This shows as a small green box under the facebook logo next to the avatar

On a list view is shows as a short green bar under the contact name

There is no integration with Twitter
In the people App front screen you can pull menu for

add contact and search

Within each contact the pull down menu for:-

Edit, share, link, delete

.
On the contact list view a long press on a contact allows you to:-

Edit, add to favourite, delete

You cannot add a contact to the apps screen as an icon

Contacts option in the settings, app menu

Change to show last name first
Change to sort by last name
Import contacts from sim car
Import Contacts from File

I think that is Contacts/People covered. Needs some work still but is very useable IMHO
