For those of you that are experiencing that the Jolla entirely skips the SIM unlock screen:
After updating my Jolla recently, either v1.0.4.20 or v1.0.5.16 I believe, my Jolla no longer requested me to unlock my sim card.
To be clear, it didn't do this at any point. It would simply skip the process entirely, and I would have to go to the Settings application and activate it.
After a factory reset and upgrade to newest version (v1.0.5.19), I can report that this issue is no longer existing.
It would seem that a conflict can arise when updating a non-clean/running install.
If you are experiencing this issue and cannot be bothered to reinstall your phone presently, then I recommend to activate your SIM the following way:
1. Open Settings application
2. Select "System Settings"
3. Select "Internet Sharing"
4. Pull down top menu and select "Activate SIM card"
5. Enter PIN when prompted
6. You can now exit the settings app again with SIM card activated
The reason for using the Internet Sharing menu instead of the Mobile Network menu is that when using the latter, my phone would, in most cases, display "loading settings" indefinitely, which seemed to eat up battery in the process.
When using Internet Sharing, this never happened and the settings in Mobile Network menu would appear instantly.
I think the average user will expect to be notified if the SIM is not active after starting the phone (or changing back from airplane mode). However don't force users to input the pin to use the device, supply at least a dismiss/cancel button there.
