We all have ideas on what improvements we’d like for Sailfish. I thought it would be useful to have a list in one location that allowed fellow Sailors could vote on individual improvements and also add their own suggestions. This way our friendly developers at Jolla could get a feel for what features Sailors think would make Sailfish a better OS.

Some of the suggestions I have included are probably already in the pipeline. Some may be covered by patches but I think are better included in the base OS.

I have included each suggestion as an answer which can be voted on. If you want to add a suggestion, please add your own answer for others to vote on.

These are in no particular order they’re just as I thought of them and grouped with similar features.

Edit: I didn't realise how many pages this would be :)

Don't forget to look at all the pages, there's 22 suggestions or answers to start with.

Why not use the already existing topic? https://together.jolla.com/question/27207/wiki-which-features-do-you-want-next/

@AlanBreen You're duplicating TJC within TJC. Why on earth would you collect ideas for improvements as answers to to this pseudo-question (and thereby repeating the same stuff all over) when the way to use TJC is to put each of them as a separate question (maybe with the tag "idea") and let people vote for these questions.

sorry to say but since.the.roadmap is not maintained or.published since years a pretty useless effort

and correct: a filter for idea does the same, is easier to find ...

and according to the answers it mixes up missing xperia features, general ideas ...

i think it is a bad idea.

It may not be the correct way to handle such a polling/survey over a question, but close to 1100 views in 12 hours reveals how much consideration such a thread has for the community. If the original topic hasn't been fully updated for more than 2.5 years, then it's probably not worth much either. Rules, structure and form are certainly very important, but the content is IMO even more important, isn't it? I think the SFOS product manager should take a closer look at this subject...

Allow switching USB Mode without reconnecting the cable or using terminal (there was an app for that in Store, it's broken since some update, it should be built into the OS).

Yes, @Moo-Crumpus, of course, many of the current SFOS customers commenting on this forum can (almost) always help themselves, but Jolla will not survive that way. I try to bring in the view of an average user, one without too much technical knowledge. The device must serve the user and be as comfortable and intuitive to use as possible. Here in this forum there are mostly (if not almost exclusively) geek voices...

Media player should maintain a tracking list history of already played tracks and at least provide an option to resume playing where it has been stopped last time.

Support display colour temperature adjustments and implement it in display settings, to be configured according to the set time. Using the phone in night hours with warmer display light will less disturb the circadian rhythm.

Adding shortcuts on almost every application, for example '+ New event' within calendar, '+ New alarm' within clock, '+ New e-mail' within mail - IMO absolutely no need to swipe down first for such basic actions.
