Hi folks! I'm a totally new Jolla user, my phone just received yesterday. I had a problem with the beginning:
I crop my sim card by hand to micro sim half a year ago to able to put in my last phone to a Nokia Lumia 520. It's work in there, but wasn't perfect, so the Jolla phone at the first times unable to detect it. (I solved this issue with a paper slice, so now it's not a problem anymore.)
I wrote what I did:
- Turn on my phone without sim card, go through the welcome setup and on the end I can not create the Jolla account. (Oops, problem with account creation)
- As I read on forums I set the date forward with a min. Did not help.
- I fixed my sim card and do several factory reset. Did not help.
- Turn off the phone detach the accumulator for a night, today I put it back and turn on the phone. Unfortunately everything the same. It's just a new day. :)
So the current situation is the following:
- Have a Jolla phone with a working sim card
- Unable to create Jolla account (Oops, problem with account creation)
- Can not turn on the developer mode (I think it's maybe because of the same reason)
My phone comes with Salifish 1.0.0.5, I registered an account on account.jolla.com but can not connect to it. I used English language everywhere in the phone, but set Hungary to timezone. ps.: I'm a Java programmer, and the Salifish SDK installed on my system, but I hope it isn't need to fix my problem.
Couple of things:

When trying to connect your Jolla account, did you use your username (kabala) or email address? In account.jolla.com you can use either, but I remember reading somewhere that there are problems if you use the email address when connecting with the phone, so try entering your username instead.
In Settings > Accounts, do you see a Jolla account? Try deleting it (tap and hold, then choose delete) and adding a new Jolla account from the pulley menu above.
