I wonder if one can swipe out from tutorial by accident and not finish it, that would leave a new user a bit lost. Don't think the guy is drunk, pretty sure my father will have similar first experience with Jolla if I don't guide him

... and then record it and put it online? Or find out where he went wrong?

Not sure what you mean, the video was funny, if I recorded my father/grandpa getting lost in Sailfish UI and it turned out to be funny, yeah, maybe I will upload it, why not. What I'm wondering is if Jolla did user tests with people who never even seen n9, maybe seeing that the user constantly ends up going to notifications should trigger a hint/highlight? Restart the tutorial? He definitely didn't finish it, so could be a nasty situation if you drop user without explaining him clearly different swipes available

IIRC there a short "getting started" leaflet in the box. Getting lost in the UI and not reading this doesn't make you look smart.

I don't know the guy, maybe he has a distance to himself and doesn't consider a video of himself fumbling around in a totally new OS as something to hide/be ashamed of. Hell, I had problems finding way to turn off a win8 desktop, though uploading my google searching wouldn't make anyone chuckle

Can anybody give pointers where buteo configuration files reside?
I edited configs in N9 to sync with my own server, but I don't know where to start with Jolla.

Can you elaborate?

You can't leave the tutorial until it's taught you the basics. Unfortunately, as far as I've seen, a lot of people have tried a device handed to them by someone else, and the differences seem to have caught them by surprise.

Sure. I did mention this about 40 pages back

I set an alarm for 6:43 - and I did this twice because I was convinced it was my error. After it was set, the phone showed it had an alarm set for 7:43. So I deleted the alarm and tried to be clever, thinking it was setting the alarm an hour later. I set an alarm for 5:43 and sure enough, it appeared on screen as 6:43

Which was fine, until the 6:43 alarm *did* go off at 5:43:-)

Currently I have an alarm which was entered as 6:44 in fact. In the clock app, it shows as set for 7:44, but it goes off every day at 6:44 just as I asked. So the phone does set an alarm for the correct time - it just says it has one set for an hour later

I have checked the timezones wherever I can find them - they are all correctly set to UTC - which is my correct zone

Hope that helps:-)
