Still: the app can't get hold of the numbers in the addressbook and you will be able only to answer people which send you a message first.
And as others already said: the app is ugly, looking forward to a native one (this for example is not a crucial feature I need, just a nice to have)
address book working fine.

Nope, but this is also covered in some other topic. I did nothing special, nevertheless they appeared, sorry no memory.

Videos are not working for example. If you keep the android window open, you get notifications, not integrated to led-functionality though.

I don't wan't to close my eyes to these obvious problems despite the enthusiasm I have for Jolla.
It is because UI isn't ready for all the features. UI is one of the thoughest areas in software. And it is about quality. You need to prioritize and concentrate on doing things well to keep up quality. You only have limited resources. It all comes back to the basics of software engineering.

That's just stupid if true. It's ok for a day or two, as a team-building exercise maybe... to celebrate a bit. But a serious company (and Jolla in my book have proven they're a serious company) should be able to do handling and packing using mostly outside temp work. Otherwise it's a waste of resources.

I still consider WPA-PEAP an edge case for "normal" people.
However, Jolla's are bought by edge-case people. I too find many features lacking. Fortunately, some of them are fixable from the terminal. Perhaps that's why I'm an edge-case. However I'd still prefer a GUI for those.

Time for CEO version 4.0, if the current one puts the guys responsible for the OS and software platform toiling as postal workers.

Unless they are so short in cash that even few temps taking care of it would have been too high cost. Then they wo'nt need CEO anymore, just bankruptcy lawyer

I think some people are reading it too literally. The actual packing and shipping process is done by DHL Supply Chain (I think it can be considered confirmed). There is still plenty of things that need attention from Jolla to keep everything working in the process. And I'm reading this that in those functions Jolla's people are stretching their working times and doing work that they don't normally do.

Edit: And it might be also that DHL Supply Chain is also doing extra stretching to try to get the deliveries done before Christmas (for Finnish orderers) or before the end of the year (for the rest).

Do I have to keep it open and active in "full screen" or can I have it running and open other apps and still get notifications?
