What features do you desperately need?

This is a list of missing features that we desperately need, sorted by votes. Feel free to add more, but only with a proper link to a question, so we can also vote on specific questions.

The Jolla crew uses the tag roadmap to show requested features forming part of a defined plan. There is also a general roadmap and a development roadmap.

Note: The numbers in parantheses {xxx} at the front are the votes each question had collected. If it has an -R after the number it indicates the roadmap tag is present, a -r? indicates the Jolla crew responded positively to the question but the roadmap tag is not present.

EDIT: Automatically updating list here, and the features tracked by Jolla here. As we already have these options via search, there's no need to update the list below. Return to default view here, or manually by removing the filter(s) and sorting questions by activity instead of votes.

EDIT2: There's a similar way to do that for bugs. Requested fixes here, those under work here

EDIT3: Just for fun, here's a list of bug requests ;) (let's work together to remove either of the tags on these)

Last time fully updated on 29 June 2015.

Let's try to keep this updated, at least after each Sailfish release!

Voicemail notification for all operators (not working for some operators like Free Mobile in France)

While not a roadmap feature, additional keyboard layouts (official that is) is what i'd like to see.

SailFishOS/Firmware updates that don't require the user to open a Jolla account.

  1. Less restrictions for harbour-apps
  2. Better user control over apps access to hardware/data
  3. More API documentation, so things that aren't done by Jolla can be done by others, together with 1, several points on the list could be done by the community.

Please add a search option to the native message app.

I also noticed that when you select a contact from the adressbook as the recipient, the message app automatically opens a field for a second recipient. I don't think that this feature is very useful, as one very rarely writes to more than one person at a time and it requires an extra tap on the screen to select the message field. Maybe the "+"-symbol could be refunctioned for adding multiple recipients if needed. I caught myself multiple times now typing the message into the second recipient field, because all my other phones I used before would switch right into the message field after I selected the recipient.

I'm still strongly despaired about the character/message counter for the SMS app :/ Very annoying for me people like me who are on prepaid cards and pay by SMS sent ! Plus it is an affair of like 20 lines of code, not like enabling 4G!

You can use sshfs on most OSs.

true, but it should be completely transparent to the user, sshfs is great for geeks not for joe average

@bmwebb Then maybe what we need is a desktop UI for average joe to easily mount the Jolla device. No need to reinvent protocols, or add services to the device itself really.

WhyNotHugo ( 2014-05-17 06:21:59 +0300 )edit

how is this a Jolla problem, you just need a recent libmtp, if OSX doesn't have it, how is this a Jolla problem? You could argue for Jolla to use a more standard way of exposing files on plug, but not put the blame on Jolla for Apple's staleness

Support for 802.1X over 802.11. Without it, I'm internet-less at university and at several other offices I move around.

I had added "WPA enterprise (eg. eduroam) support (PEAP)" to the list, which is what I think you are referring to.

avdwoude ( 2014-06-10 11:01:58 +0300 )edit

I assume it is. There's really nothing actually called "WPA enterprise" AFAIK, but I think it's the "new fancy name" for what I'm refering to.
