We have a great user guide:

http://jolla.com/guide/

but it's not always 100% accurate or complete.

So, if you see anything that needs fixing - please tell us here

Some guidelines:

  • We don't want to expand it a great deal - it's not supposed to be an exhaustive description of every aspect of the device
  • We do want to include particularly useful things and clarify any confusion
  • Changes in updates which got missed in the guide are useful
  • Focus is mainly on the content - we're fixing things like the missing "Go Top" button and device CSS

Thanks!

Comments

Should we post suggestions as separate answers so as to make it more clear that they refer to different sections / topics of the guide? This way also the comments and discussions would stay more organized.

@jjaone - Good point(s)!
E.g.: If someone's suggestion could be better formed by someone else, or if other persons disagree on a certain suggestion, etc..

I've converted my comment to an "Answer".

In "Web Browser" section the shown outlined icon to open the tabs should be changed to the filled version with a number inside. The outlined version is not easy to match to the real one.

In "Web Browser" section add that in landscape mode also the URL and a delete icon (cross in filled circle) is shown.

You can edit the URL by tapping on it.

You can close the active / current tab when touching the delete icon.

Describe in "Web Browser" section that one can search the internet using the configured search engine when tapping on the URL or opening a new tab.

And when tapping the URL the scrollable history list will be shown below it.

Wrong information about access to favourite Ambience screen.

Section Ambience: Favourites and sounds has a Treasure box with text "From the Home and Lock screens, swiping from either side shows your favourite Ambiences. Tap on one to activate it."

But in reality you're able access favourite Ambience screen only from Home not from Lock-screen. There's a question about that here: https://together.jolla.com/question/50497/can-no-longer-switch-ambience-from-lockscreen/.

Section Lock screen and icons has similar information: "After you've chosen some favourite Ambiences, swiping from the side lets you pick a favourite Ambience, which changes your ringtones and sounds too. "

Section - Area: Android Applications

This section talks specifically about the Yandex store, however there are currently 3 different android marketplaces to choose from, and maybe this should be reflected in this section.

there is a mini mention about tethering.
But there nothing about how could we use the tethering.
Where and how could we active it , and inactive it.
I find Every mention without an how-to or a reference on it is useless!!
