Pure availability reasons for me.
Many of my contacts have work and private numbers so to reach them properly or at all i need to select.
As workaround i fell back to having two or more seperate entries for those contacts when leaving n900.
Literally like back in the symbian or even SIM stored times and i would really like to move into this millenium and end that daily pita

I will look into using long press now that i realized they put the number there some updates ago

but it is still not what i want for a nice overview in the list.

If you disable "Quick call" from Phone application settings, then when you click on the caller it will show contact information. it will show what number the call originated from, but it will also show all other alternate numbers so you can just choose to call to one of his/her other numbers.

I hope that helps the pain somewhat.

right. quickcall off is a better workaround. thx.

But still when i unified the contacts of my wife and call from mobile, then from landline. There are not two enteris in the so called "call log" but only one with the number changing.
If a captain of a ship would keep his log that kind of vague... Ohh another island, lets overwrite the location of the last one we dicovered and call it , wait, island again.
I guess what i am actually missing, expressed in sailfish logic, is the "Separate entry per call/number/contact in log" setting. But also that might be a sign of me aging

Oh c'mon guys. Are you not way too demanding?

I guess they use the contact UID to store the logs (not the number itself). And that way you always have a unique contact to show! Remember the good ol' Symbian/Maemo days? Where having stored the same number under different contacts screwed up the call log (not being able to show the belonging contact)?
So choose wise ...

Weel there'd be no problem showing all the calls in the log, both missed and completed. I think that's what @pichlo wants and I want it DESPERATELY too.

Like, say you miss 3 calls from somebody, it only says you have 3 missed calls and shows up the time of the last missed call. I want to see the exact times of all those missed calls!

Similarily, always when you make/receive a call the list only shows the last one. I want to see all the calls!

Now I have to go to call recorder and check the logs from there which is inconvenient.

Why not both? UID and number?

Mosen is right, I too have a number of contacts with two or more mobile numbers each, plus home, work etc. Knowing which number called me is often an existential question.

While on the topic, how do people organise business contacts? Sailfish's address book is not really designed very well for cases where you have only the company name and the phone number but no person. And even if I have the person's name, "Red Kite Roofing calling" or "Joe Blogs from Red Kite Roofing calling" is much better than just "Joe Bloggs calling".

existential?
Or essential??

Do you really believe SF meant for business users?

And sorry for sarcasm but such discussion after (how many?) years.
I do support such 'feature'!

Please, be aware appling Mazelock patch.
Lockscreen will not work any more and without SSH enabled it will not be possible to remove patch.

I did a recovery yesterday, because I'm wasn't ebale to remove patch via shell at recovery mode.

found this on jollausers.de, but i got permission error after i tried to mount

Code:

Quellcode

    -- mount rootfs /mnt : mount /dev/mmcblk1p28 /mnt
    -- chroot inside the phone os : "chroot /mnt"
    -- check installed patches patches: ls /var/lib/patchmanager/ausmt/patches
    -- patchmanager -u <name of patch>
    -- rpm -e <name des patches>
