Revision history [back]

When buying a Jolla, I knew there would be some problems. However, I did not expect it this bad. After nearly one month with the device I have to say, it is nearly unusuable. I reset the device several times, reinstalled apps, to no effect. The issues: -Documents does not recognize any .pdfs. Those .pdfs I downloaded with Android apps (K9, Dolphin) can at least be opened with Adobe Reader for Android. Those downloaded with Joll mail or the Jolla web browser are neither found by “Documents“, nor by Adobe Reader. Lately, a friend sent me a .jpg from his Windows Phone - guess what: I cannot open it. Jolla mail not even shows the attachment, K9 Android can download it, but then there's no way to open it. Not with "Gallery“, not with any of tje two file browsers currently available on the Jolla market. - Even worse: any files downloaded with an Android app CANNOT BE DELETED! I don't have the right to delete them. - I cannot transfer the unreadable and undeletable files to my Mac to open them there. Not with bluetooth, not with via USB. - Text copied/cut in an Android app can only be inserted in another Android app, not in a Sailfish app, and vice versa. - When surfing, half of the screen is covered by the keyboard, that won't close. - I had to format a SD card to make it readable by the Jolla, and copies some music onto it. Now the phone detects the card - at least sometimes. When I open "Media“, I never know what will happen: are the files found or not?! If not (half of the time, at least), I have to reboot the device, and try again. - It's still impossible ro send emails with the Jolla mail app (using a runbox.com account with pop3). - The keyboard remembers passwords. I logges into a gmail account ( only use it for receiving spam though ^^), and now the ttping suggestions show my password, whenever I use the Browser. - Android headsets don't work. - Every now and then an app suddenly closes, and I'm askes to install the ugly “Snow White” ambiance. I don't. - Battery drains within hours, when surfing the web much. Plus the device gets really hot on the top back. (- Only btw: why did Jolla never communicate the SAR, aren't they obliged to do so?)

There's more, but let's leave it for now. To sum up: At this state, I feel deeply disapponted, Jolla seems unusuable for non-developers. It's sad, I really wanted, and still want to, love Jolla. For when the next update, and will it help?
