Revision history [back]

Hi, I just looked around a while and didn't find anything like this. So I'm just putting this out there hoping its not redundant.

However, the Situation is this: When I am driving, I put my Jolla into the phone dock and plug in the radio to listen to my music.

When I want to skip a song I press the power button, swipe down to open apps screen, select the right application, wait a moment till app is visible.

All this takes about 2 to 3 seconds in which I'm focused on my phone and not on traffic. And I really have to be focused because I don't want to bring the wrong app back to the front. For me thats a lot just to press the "next" button. And I guess it really isn't save.

My suggestion would be to show the last open app after pressing the power button. Which means, when I put the phone to sleep with an app active (on top, in the front, in the foreground, you know what i mean ... ;) it shows exactly that app when I wake it again.

Another example for all non-drivers among us: I also find it kind of annoying when I write a message, put the phone to sleep and the answer comes like 2 seconds after and I have to do all of the above to bring it back on top.

You must be tired of this but to give a little perspective I will compare the Jolla to my old phones. Sorry about that!

N900: Klick the lock switch and continue where you left. Ideal in many ways. N9: Press the power button swipe away the welcome screen and continue where you left. Not that easy but something I could do without looking and still a step less than with the Jolla.

I, myself, always close or minimize my applications when putting my Jolla back into my pocket. So I would always be able to check the clock. If I leave an app on top its usually because I need it probably again immediately. What about you guys? Would this be something you might be interested in?

[EDIT]

After poring over this a little longer, I had another Idea that would fit the "Sailfish Way" a little better! The notification screen is basically nothing more than any other welcome screen. It shows the clock and some notifications for a quick peek. But when you slide down to the app screen the last active app could automatically be selected. Or even better: When you slide down you swipe directly into the last active app. Maybe in the same gradually detransparenting (is this even a word?) way as when you minimize an app. I think this could fit the overall feeling of Sailfish a little better and Jolla would still be "unlike" ;)
