Hi,
- Fonts look generally pretty bad (most obvious in the launcher)
- Scrolling makes pixels look "jaggy". Open Terminal, type ls, go to
app switcher and drag a little bit => pixels in the minimized terminal
app start to dance around
- Android Tasks must be handled by the Sailfish Taskswitcher. BB10
does this right.
- Pinning would be useful
- email Push over Exchange does not work for me (using Google)

is that a payed account ? (google apps for business for e.g).
If not, access will stop working at the end of the year, does not make 
sense to invest time and resource in a service that will stop working in 
a few more days(unless google extent the support again). Google suggests 
these alternatives: https://support.google.com/a/answer/2716936

I also have difficulties with the Home screen and I would rather use the
Launcher screen to switch between apps. I think the reason is that

in Home screen:

  * Covers move around so I have to go through them one by one to find the
app I need. Only if I continuously swap between two apps, I might trust that
the app is the first or second one in the grid.
  * Cover texts/images change, so I have to read/decypher images to
understand which app they relate to. This is slow.

in Launcher screen:

  * App icons don't move around. I can rely on my spatial memory and find the
app always at the same spot. Often, I have already moved my finger over the
app before the screen has stopped scrolling.
  * App icons don't change. Recognizing a familiar icon is faster than
reading/decyphering images.

Perhaps the number of covers displayed on Home could be customizable? I
would limit it to three small ones (or remove all). The app icons could move
up to occupy the free space.

Also pinning the covers would help (I would pin most of them).

I never close apps, so I have all the time nine small covers on the Home
screen. Am I doing it wrong?

Cheers,
Kari

Hi,

Moving from N9/Meego two days ago, I find Jolla/Sailfish very easy to
use,
and have some feedback (wishlist?). I hope this is the right place for
this feedback, otherwise please point me to the correct place.
i'm not a jolla dev, nor do i have a jolla, but i'll reply and give my
thoughts...

Current version: 1.0.1.10 (notification for version upgrade came almost
immediate I got online)

Sailfish/Platform specific:
1. From Lock Screen, swiping-up should bring me to Home screen, but it
often brings up the Events screen even if there is no
notifications/events. A friend's N9 community edition Sailfish allows
swiping from the left/right side on Lock screen - the same doesn’t work
on
my Jolla.
if you swipe up from the bottom, it brings event screen, if you swipe up
from the middle, it brings home screen. takes some getting used to...

maybe swiping left/right doens't work if you don't have a TOH?

2. There should be a way to go straight from Lock Screen to Launcher
(instead of needing to go through Home)
i don't agree, for multi-processing this is better, plus there's a pulley
menu on lock for the relevant apps... i suppose this is configurable

3. Easier (less taps) accessible configuration (eg WLAN, Bluetooth) from
any screen (not just "Settings")
wasn't there some kind of cover where you could do this? there's been a
request for pinning covers, i would like this in combination...

4. Need easier way view the current connection (All the connection
related
icons on Lock Screen are hard to decode at least initially - in
particular
for the Mobile Network Data icon, but WLAN icon also hard to decode)
5. More configurable settings (colour selection for text/notification
icons/etc, background picture, additional items to be displayed on Lock
screen)
this is done via ambience iinm, but i agree that this Abience should
really be allowed to be tuned/configured a bit...

6. Icon's Text on Launcher screen feels a bit hard to read (doesn’t look
very solid)
Ambience?

7. Add ability to have different colours to different inbuilt apps (eg.
Phone, messaging/SMS, etc) - they currently all look very similar on the
Home screen and colour differentiation would help usability greatly.
i think this would have issues with different Ambiences

8. Auto-correct while typing (maybe as a configurable option)
9. Please bring Swype to Sailfish!
10. Chinese writing input (find the button = with extra -, that should
allow configuration) i heard this on #jollamobile at freenode IRC



Jolla Applications:
1. Sometimes Email's connection frequency setting does not appear to be
observed - email isnt checked every 30 minutes as I had configured, and
Exchange email isnt "pushed" to me
2. Clock: configurable snooze time? ;-)

Android Support:
1. Whatsapp address book does not work - currently all my Whatsapp
Contacts are empty. Understand this is due to Whatsapp on Android cannot
reach Jolla's phone book - can this be fixed?
2. Would be great if Android apps can appear as individual/independent
apps instead of a single "Virtual Machine" which all Android apps live
inside.

Jolla Store:
1. Jolla App store feels a bit confusing - dont really know what apps
are
there as the only clear "catalog" available is the list of apps built by
Jolla - all other Apps are scattered

Apps that I look forward to:
1. Public Transport (eg. Meego's "My Routes", Nokia Public Transport)
2. Turn-by-turn navigation with pre-loadable maps (Nokia Drive)
3. WiFi sharing
4. Camera flash as torch
5. Net Radio
Some of us on the community are trying to gather thoughts on
http://elinux.org/Jolla .

Generic:
1. There will be more users wanting to provide feedback - there will
need
to be an easier way to submit feedback (even from inside the phone -
maybe
an App?) which is publicly viewable so others would know it has been
submitted (and can vote on it).
afaik apps can be reviewed even on the phone...

2. The phone did "crash" once (it slowed so much I had to force it to
turn
off to restart) - maybe a good thing to have is inbuilt debugging
functionality.


Looking forward to the version upgrades :)
