XA2 single sim free Sailfish experience Double Tap needed
asked 2018-11-17 18:47:52 +0200
I flashed my XA2 single SiM flawlessly with the free software. Here's what i have experienced so far. I have to say that i am not tech savvy, but can't stand iOS or Android. My biggest disappointment: NO DOUBLE TAP! I am guessing this feature has been drop by Jolla for whatever reason and that's a shame. My first experience with it was with Nokia N9 and I just love it. Am i the only one who care? - I flashed using Ubuntu - battery drain for the first 2 days; after the 3rd charge, it seems like the phone holds its charge. While on Android, could be standby for 1 week with bluetooth and WIFI on. - First few times on/off phone, brought me back to the tutorial. Not too hapy about that and unable to say do not show again.... - Proximity sensor not working, hence your face touch the mute button causing your talking party to say "hello, hello! are you there, what is rong with your phone?!" - Connected to my car, Nissan 370z 2017, with bluetooth without too much issue. I have both the car and phone find each other and the secound time the car ask to enter the PIN enter it and that was it. After, connect without problem. - I think i will get use to the pully menu, however it made me unhappy by the fact that you have to make sure to be close to the border to close a app, since when you pull from the center it gets you to the top menu.
I would like Jolla to bring us back DOUBLE TAP, this is something that is so practical.
Finally, Jolla will have my money when the full version is supported, still need stuff that use Android, HERE maps, WeChat, Opera mini as browser. Until then, i'll use my Xperia X with SF3 as my day to day mobile! (And it is my working tool). Keep up the good work!
Why was this downvoted?

IIRC some people have mentioned various issues after manually enabling it, so be careful.

lethe ( 2018-11-17 23:22:53 +0200 )edit@MartinK the Double-tap wakeup policy of mcetool on XA2 is already set to "proximity" as default, but double tap doesn't work. I can only use fake double tap (double tap from LPM) on XA2. Someone says that double tap is not support in the kernel of XA2 right now.
