has anybody noticed the coolest Sailfish feature / bug ever?
when you lock your screen while launching an app (while this new circle stuff is spinning) and unlock it afterwards (no matter if via double-tap on screen or power-button) you go back directly to this app.
and that's not the end by far: when you have glance screen (or whatever the correct name is) enabled, it will show you live screen, when you take it out of your pocket (aka uncover the sensor).
when you unlock the screen and want to do something in this and lock it again, it will still show up directly via double-tap or powerbutton!
and still, this is not then end!
you can switch to other apps and use them, after that, just go to the multitasking view and click your "live-app" again and lock the screen while it's going active and it will have the same behavior again!
sorry, it's not so easy to explain, but this is really one of the best features / bugs ever!!
to test it, just lock your screen while launching the clock app.
then unlock it and you will go directly to the clock app again. start the stopwatch and lock it again and put it in your pocket...
take it out and see the live time of the stopwatch
unlock it and switch to other apps if you want, then after that go to the multitasking view and click the clock app again directly followed by a click on the power-button (really fast) and you can access it the same way again!
this is really like finding some hidden treasure in a video game
edit: i think, this has nothing to do with the new update, i had similar behaviors before, but i just could not reproduce them reliably, now i just found out, how to do it i guess this has been around since version 0.x and just nobody noticed...

edit: oh wow just got it, wait for hover/glance to turn on, the last window will light up, pretty cool
haha, this is awesome, for tracking single app progress or updates, i hope this is a feature, great find!

Anyone noticed a nice fade effect when you turn the browser from portrait to landscape? I am wondering if it was there before.
