Generally I'm very pleased with Sailfish X on Sony Xperia X, and it will be very interesting to see the development in the coming updates of SFOS. But there is one thing I find very annoying with Xperia X, and that is the placement of the volume and camera buttons. I've tried to ignore it, or to handle the phone in another way, but they are always in the way in my handling of the phone. I constantly change the volume without meaning or wanting to. Not when I have it in my hand and the screen is active and I'm doing something with it, but whenever I need to pick up the phone, move it, or simply put it in my pocket. I wish the buttons were placed as they are on Jolla 1.

Therefore I would like to have an option to disable the volume and camera buttons when the screen is inactive/locked, so they only work when I have the phone ready in my hand and 'open'.

EDIT: I would like (as an option) the volume button to work for a media playing app only when the screen is active, unlocked and that app is active (maximized), and the same for the system sound: only when I'm in 'Settings - System Sound', I'm able to change the volume for the system sound with the volume button. And the same for the camera button. A kind of 'Restrictive mode; function' for the buttons, one could say.
