As my new employer provided me iPhone 5s, I can now compare it with Jolla.

Build quality of iPhone is way better than Jolla. Screen is small on iPhone, however, keeping phone in the poket i is way more comfortable. All apps work very well on iPhone. Battery lasts approximately the same as on Jolla.

Jolla UI is better and i had to jailbreak the iPhone to have it also accepting some swipe commands.

However, I am quite impressed with iPhone - UI is not so good, but everything works as it should work email, web browser, calendar sync and etc.

It costs 2 times if not even 3 times so much as the Jolla. So what do you expect

I put it back on the TOH and into the phone, it doesn't work of course and it will probably never work again.
Strange, I have the same problem too, phone doesn't recognise when I change TOH, doesn't ask to install yet-to-be-installed ambiences.

Other thing is that my Snow-White TOH and First-One TOH have never worked properly... the installations has always gotten me some strange stripe ambiences (white & shades of blue or white & shades of orange) which are ugly as hell. Actually I just noticed the TOH problem when I tried if the problem with my OHs had gone away with all these software updates... Now I can't even check that

I have the "lego" OH, it's nice but aside the issues mentioned inthe shapeways page, I don't think this 3d printed material is very durable. I've had this for two weeks and it's already starting to show signs of wear in the edges. I think it is mostly because I like to store the phone in my jeans pockets and the fabric rubs the casing. (no keys or anything there at the same time).

iv noticed its crazy laggy (even when its not an android app) when my phone is connected the network (3G or 4G) and its trying to update/download something.
eg. when it updates my emails in the background, I almost can not do anything else because it freezes everything

will flashing the phone help resolve the issue?

Well it may do but there is no flash image available. A full reset may help.

Lags on heavy I/O are to be expected. Thats just a limitation of the speed of the flash memory (no matter if external or internal) and the I/O scheduler used by the Jolla.

I know that the BFQ (not officially in kernel) promises smaller responsiveness delays on desktops. If Jolla ever thinks about upgrading the kernel they might want to think about patching bfq in and using this as default.

Overall I also experience lags on receiving mails but normally it does not come to a total halt. So a reflashing on the phone might help but not necessarily

The stripey ambiences are what you get with the white and first one other halves so they are in fact working although they've now changed the snow ambience to have a spotty pattern. Yes, they're ugly.

They only change when you change from one TOH to another so for example, if you have the white TOH on and swap it for the first one TOH you'll get orange stripes and new sounds. If you have the white TOH on and select a different ambience from the phone, take the white TOH off and put it back on, it won't change the ambience because it would be annoying to have your selected ambience change every time you took the TOH off. This behaviour changed around the third OS release IIRC.

The ambiences are downloaded from the store.

Do not remove the stickers. The NFC tag is part of the white sticker, not in the plastic behind it.
