Thank you for this driver! At least I can see a Connected Sailfish with an IP Address in System Preferences / Network. But I cannot get a connection yet. Does anyone know?
On the Jolla I enabled Developer mode and Remote connection. I tried with and without Password. The MacBook Pro, OSX 10.8.5 cannot make a connection. Though USB:
MacBook:~ rob$ ssh 169.254.41.91
ssh: connect to host 169.254.41.91 port 22: Connection refused
Through WiFi there is a different response:
rob@192.168.254.38's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
I have no clue where you got that ip from, but that is a generic ip (like windows used to hand out) Most likely because it is trying to get an ip by dhcp from the phone. (Which will come in an update).
So first you need to set the ip on the usb interface of your pc/laptop. By default it is set to 192.168.2.15 on the device so anything like 192.168.2.1 for example will do.
Then you have to log in as user nemo (also for wifi)
so #ssh nemo@192.168.2.15
The password you need to set yourself or get generated randomly in the developer mode settings.

Fonts: The font used for icon titles is horrible and spindly, it looks like crap. Really, crap. Thicken up the strokes, please.

I can see the Jolla in MTP, but cannot access it with its IP address through ssg like I do over WiFI. This is most likely due to the fact that Windows 8.1 does not seem to provide drivers for USB tethering. .
See my previous post for the details.
Two: USB tethering is a feature that is coming soon. Which is sharing your phones internet connection with the pc. Not the same as being able to access your phone over USB network.
three: Windows 8.1 has rndis drivers by default

6. I see no pulley menu to change ambiences from the lockscreen, thought it was there in the videos;
Personally, I think this is a total waste of the "push" gesture on the lock/home screen which could surely be used for something more useful (another page of multi-tasking apps, perhaps?). It's not as if you're going to change Ambience every 5 minutes.

true, below 10% jolla begins to slow down, freeze a bit or something.

No idea why the large file wouldn't import considering it contained exactly the same data. My method for transferring the vcf files was to email them to myself and open the email attachment on the Jolla.
Merged the vcf files into one file. Sent it to the Jolla, no joy. In Excel I threw out all the lines I mistrusted, leaving plain and simple vcf cards with 1 phone number and 1 e-mail address. Pasted those into a new file, sent it to the Jolla by bluetooth and it worked! There may be an easier way, but I did it!
I've now sent my large vcf file to w00t so hopefully Jolla can work out what the problem is and fix it because it's rather frustrating.

as always non developers or geeks who has plenty of freetime do think its a "piece of cake" and something done in 30 minutes.... In reality it takes days... Days that sometimes should be used for more important fixes/improvements....

Sometimes on a page, like in the browser, the onscreen keyboard pops up, fills up half of the screen and I cannot get it out of the way. Clicking on the web page is not easy: most of the page may be covered with hyperlinks.
Also, I've noticed in the browser that the keyboard will quite often cover up the field into which you are trying to enter text (eg. email address, username or password) . The virtual keyboard integration with the Gecko browser still has a way to go.
Anyone know why Jolla decided on the Gecko browser, and not continue with Webkit? Is it for Firefox OS compatibility?

2. I know this is something different, but I was advised to search with this term on the Internet because if you can tether, then you can conect to the device through IP, and there might be more results.
3. Good news!

But perhaps he will prefer to remain silent until a proper fix is found.

Swiping the browser to Home, and entering the page again may help, or it may not. Haven't found the trick yet. The N9 Swype could be swiped to the side, and a normal keyboard could be swiped away to the bottom.
