[Sailfish General] goosebumps4:
From what I read on the internet people are disappointing with the screen quality ... To be honest it does sound a bit low for a mid-high end device. Now I am not sure I want to switch from my old iphone 4 which has 960x640 on 3.5". I love how the phone looks like and all, but the screen has really been important for me, since I bought the nokia n73 when it appeared.
[Sailfish General] julle131:
I suppose that is true for you.

I am personally happy with that resolution. My SGS2 has 480x800 4.3", so that is an improvement for me. I have never had problems with this reso, so i am just happy to get better one. Also, i think it would be a waste of money to use 1080p screen as I do not see point in that(you didn't say anything about that, but I'm just raising a point). It uses more resources(on the phone) costs more and I don't see that big improvement over the qHD they decided to use.

But do you think Jolla is mid-highend phone? I think its mid, as highend phones cost over 500 euros, while jolla is "only" 400e.
[Sailfish General] Whippler:
Bit disapointed on the screen, just 244ppi, my 2.8y old htc has more than that. Also the speaker placement, @ the bottom corners, thats just a crazy design error, one watches videos in landscape mode, and thats where the stereo sound matters.

Now that we know there's l2c, and power(both ways) for the other half, i'm getting my hopes up again. Time to wait for the QWERTY other half. Hopefully with some extra battery juice in it. Maybe someone will make a DAC/AMP other half for some serious music listening on the go. Also an other half with 256GB ssd in it would be sweet, only if we could have all of em on @ once ;)
[Sailfish General] goosebumps4:
yea sure ... i did not expect 1080 ... but why not make the screen smaller if the resolution is so low.
[Sailfish General] julle131:
Yeah, I know you didn't expect 1080, I just said it as an example :highfive:. Well, it still had better PPI than Galaxy S2, and I have never had problems with that.

I think they chose that screen size because people nowadays prefer big screens. I personally think that screen size is OK, but everyone has their own opinions.
[Sailfish General] nh1402:
Its not so much the screen that I'm disappointed about, but the other stuff, I was expecting a LOT more RAM, more like 2/3GB, and I was also expecting a larger battery (around the 3000mAh+ mark), and the clock speed, I'm perfectly happy about the screen size, its just that in a video from engadget, they mentioned the screen would be HD, now they are marketing it as qHD, which I don't particularly care for.
[Sailfish General] Deedend:
I like it, but it have some serious issues:

- the general dimensions: with a 4.5" display and that bezels I think that it will be something similar at a phablet for dimensions, but with a display of a smartphone.

- the display resolution: it's a bit low for the actual standard

- the price: 399 euros is too much for that hardware

- the processor: in the quad core era (even the low cost CPUs) a dual core is a disappointment

all this make me think if buy (when it will be avaiable) or wait...
[Sailfish General] goosebumps4:
Why do you care about if it's a quat, octa or dual core processor as log as the OS is flawless? In the presentation videos the OS runs very ok on a single core processor from 2010-2011.

Money related - they can't compete with samsung or lg or apple because they don't have the production line optimized yet. Probably they will have it but in 1-2 years.

I do agree on the bezel issue, but I think they can still change it, as they said sometime ago that it will be slimmed down.
[Sailfish General] nh1402:
Most things done on mobiles only use 2 cores anyway, but the RAM is pretty low, especially for multitasking, and Android app use.
[Sailfish General] Deedend:
Maybe the OS will run flawlessy now, but my concern is the maintenance over time. Maybe it will run smoothly in the first releases, but it could slow down release after release (see for example Android, and every modern operating system that require more and more resources at every edition) and the risk to become obsolete in short time is high. I am tired to have smartphones that become old after less than a year!
[Sailfish General] goosebumps4:
Yes, I know. I am also wondering about this, but I think since we will be early adopters we will make somehow a small sacrifice and buy this phone and than help Jolla improve. One thing I like about this company is that it listens to its users.
[Sailfish General] Arty.:
the expectations were that the screen would be at least 1280x720 resolution. It was also partially confirmed by marc dillon in one of the hands on videos so that sources the main disappointment. But other than that the phone hardware is pretty enough for today in my opinion.

We'll se how it goes. :)
[Sailfish General] goosebumps4:
New video: http://jollatides.com/2013/09/20/sailfish-new-video-demo/

I don't know ... from this video the screen looks ok. I guess I need to see the phone to actually make up my mind :)
[Sailfish General] Deedend:
I'm not sure to have understood... Marc Dillon partially confirm that the screen resolution will be changed to 1280x720?
[Sailfish General] goosebumps4:
It has Gorilla Glass 2

http://jollatides.com/2013/09/20/jolla-specs-updated-further/
[Sailfish General] Arty.:
no, few months back when the first proto of the device was shown there wasn't any info about the screen resolution. they hinted people that it would be hd resolution. But it was qhd after all.
[Sailfish General] tbo-art:
I've added the new video and another picture from the camera interface.
[Sailfish General] goosebumps4:
Is the idea of profiles (like on Nokia Symbian) coming back (the last thing presented in the last added movie with Mark)? I like it ... especially that it customizes the ambiance as well.
[Sailfish General] tbo-art:
I don't know how it was on Nokia Symbian, but from the looks on the video it also changes the volume of the notifications. So you could have a silenced work ambiance and a loud home ambiance.
[Sailfish General] Arty.:

[Sailfish General] 10basetom:
The phone itself looks all right, except...

1. In 2014 they will need to put at least a quad-core in there for it to gain any serious interest (perception matters).

2. They need to reduce the bulk. The screen size / weight ratio is poor compared to modern phones.
[Sailfish General] tbo-art:
I don't agree about your first point. A quad-core processor isn't necessary. Just look at the processors that Apple uses. They are dual-core but they aren't slower than those quad-core processors. As long as the phone doesn't lag it will be alright.

I do agree with you on your second point. But they shouldn't try too be the best in everything. You need to remember that this is their first phone after all.
[Sailfish General] 10basetom:
I'm in agreement with you on point #1, but I do believe the popular perception for the typical consumer is that quad-core is everything because that's everything they're fed from the Android camp. I'm all for Jolla hitting it out of the park, but to even have a chance at that they'll have to market to the spec-obsessed common consumer, whether having a dual-core is good enough or not. It is unfortunate, but popular perception can affect the bottom line.
[Sailfish General] :
Nokia has a few percent worldwide market share as of Q3 with Windows Phone and they only use dual-core... there's only a quad-core hype because Android runs way smoother with it. But the customer generally wants a customizable (or non-customizable, hence the iPhone counterweight) phone that's not too thick and an OS that runs fast, fluid and has apps. So far, SailfishOS/Jolla Phone seems to nail that (quite thin but expandable device, fast and fluid OS and it runs Android apps so more than enough apps available). Heck, SailfishOS ran smooth as butter on the Nokia N950 which is a few years old in terms of hardware. It will run like there's no tomorrow on the Jolla phone, even games will run very smooth.

Bro tip: never overpower a device if it doesn't need (or use) all of that power.

---------- Post added at 08:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 PM ----------

That's not the point here. I'd like to see you guys try and make an hardware-expandable phone (I'm referring to "the other half") in the shell of an S4/5S...
[Sailfish General] 10basetom:
Wow, 16 pages -- this puts a smile on my face :). I'm glad Jolla is gaining steam... I have not been this giddy about a handheld device since the Handspring Visor. Anybody remember those? In fact, there are some parallels: the original creators leaving the nest to set up their own shop, and of course the whole Springboard expansion system.
[Sailfish General] Whippler:
Specs leave some to be desired tough, for that price.

"Personalize your Jolla with "The Other Half" smart covers to match your mood and persona."

Sounds like all they have for now is bunch of colors :/ Only thing that makes the hardware interesting is the OH functionality, and if they don't have any real hardware covers to show that it really works, it kind of feels nonexistent. And that leaves the OS only thing why i would want the phone asap.

I love the theming, as seen here http://www.jollausers.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Silica-Sailfish-components.jpg

source article: http://www.jollausers.com/2013/11/e...g-sailfish-os-design-talk-with-jakko-roppola/

One of the great reasons to take Sailfish over android. But when ports start to show up for existing android phones, there really isn't any other reason than OH to get the jolla phona.
[Sailfish General] one-option:
Well personally I believe that we need to see a new OS in Smart Phone world that can make things easy for us, without suffering from lagging or crashing or limited functionality.

From my experience in smart phone world I can tell that Jolla Sailfish OS will be successful OS and it may take over others if it will solve each other OS problem.

for Android: I used Android for long time until Jelly Bean 4.1, but I don't like about Android is the crashing apps, delay in performance & other small thing pushed me to move to Windows Phone 8 & Nokia.

for Windows Phone 8: As I understand this OS is different than others, I wouldn't get WP8 if Nokia was offering other OS, say MeeGo, I felt that I miss the quality and good work Nokia offered in their devices so I decide to get WP8, in General it is good OS serve special propose targeting specific consumers with basic needs, but that from my point of view lead to limitation in functionality keeping people away from WP8, not to mention short of some apps in WP8 store which some people can't go over it.

for Apple iOS: it is such a good OS, but it is limited by the expensive iPhone $, in that time the idea of no Bluetooth kept me away from Apple, in general Apple with iPhone provided fancy experience I didn't like it.

So what I'm expecting from Sailfish OS is to provide full control & access to what I need inside my phone (files , folders ..ect) without crashing & delay with real multitasking and good power management.

I like Jolla phone hardware specially led light, I believe in what Jolla team is doing, the knew what I need and they work hard to provide it, they are a team with a vision where alot of people will follow them.

Waiting Jolla phone availability in Asia, hope that this phone will support more languages to provide this new OS experience to the world.
[Sailfish General] 10basetom:
Hands-on first looks at the final production version are starting to trickle in. Here's Engadget's take:

http://www.engadget.com/2013/11/29/a-closer-look-at-the-jolla-phone/

" Another problem with Sailfish is that performance just isn't as slick as other platforms. Poking around the OS is fast enough, but most apps take a second or two to load, when there are no crashes or quirks.... [Android apps] all run very laggy."

This is where having something more powerful than a budget phone-grade dual-core Snapdragon 400 would help. I'm not hating (as I'm one of the day-1 preorderers), just saying.

I want to say since this is Jolla's first ever product we should cut them some slack, but by the same token it is precisely because they are a tiny startup in a sea of giants (well, mostly two giants) that they should hit it out of the park with their first product; because if it fails they may never get another chance, which would be such a shame -- for both innovation and choice.
[Sailfish General] siggdroid:
Isn't as slick as other plarforms? Android isn't slick.

And here is a review from a german IT-News site. http://www.golem.de/news/jolla-im-test-das-smartphone-das-nokia-nicht-wollte-1312-103048-3.html

This is a quote translated with google

" The user experience is extensive, thoughtful and intuitive, Jolla has been good gesture system of BlackBerry 10 is still exceeded. Stronger than other gesture-based operating systems, it happened to us that we wanted to run the Sailfish OS gestures to other smartphones - particularly the call of the notifications and the deposition of the apps. Even for users who come from mobile operating systems without gesture control like Android or iOS, Sailfish OS is accessible after a short time."

[Sailfish General] 10basetom:
I think it's because people are just not used to it, probably never having used the N9 extensively. They are familiar with iOS, and they are familiar with Android -- it seems they are mistaking familiarity with slick.
[Sailfish General] OddBall88:
Apps on anything but the latest hw Androids don't load any faster and instead of seeing a non-functional splash screen, on Jolla you get a peek at the home screen.
[Sailfish General] aironeous:
You guys won't need to worry about any slowness in the future if you have a high end Android phone because the CEO already said they won't make any money from selling the OS so they are just going to put Sailfish up for download for various Android devices in China and maybe find another way to make money off the sites that host the OS for download.

In other words they are going to license various Chinese companies to host a Sailfish OS image for "insert popular Android device here" that you can download and install on your device and they will work to make sure it works on that device and they will share in the traffic somehow generated for those Chinese websites.

Also JollaTides on twitter tweeted at the event that there will be monthly updates to the Sailfish OS.

So, lets see how it performs with tablets!

Thanks for the video! I really really really love the sound I'm getting from my One and I am VERY picky.

I can say without hesitation that this is my favorite phone owned, to date. I had the iPhone 5, 4S, HTC Evo, G1. All great phones but this wins.

Curious, why wouldnt you end the video with beats turned on? Its one of the selling points of the phone.

It is but with earphones , and if I enable the beats audio then boom sound will be useless!
[One (M7) General] miHah:
Not true lol :D sound is totaly different with beats audio while playing on stereo speakers :D

Hiiii Guys..

I'm planning to buy a 16GB memory card. Now m confuse that should i buy 16GB or 8GB. i need more space. but is that slower my SGM? or should i buy 8Gb for better performance and i also use to partition my memory card. so plz suggest me 16 or 8 GB.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ast00:
SD card size isn't a problem in terms of performance. Only the class counts and the partition's size. But you can repartition it at any time, so only the class matters.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] SHAGGYY:
class? you mean sd card company or size?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] vishal007:
Class 2 = 2mbps

Class 4 = 4mbps

And so on :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] hsay:
So for best performance use a class 10 card.....it will be useful in the future as well though it may feel a bit too expensive...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Galaxy_Rohit:
The best of them all is class 10 memory card... I too use class 10 (Sandisk)sd card:)

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] SHAGGYY:
sandisk class 4 has speed upto 5 to 6 mb .i just cheked reviews on flipcard..i will buy it. class 10 is too expensive for me.

can u tell me price so i will think about class 10 also..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Galaxy_Rohit:
For example: (When I bought)

Class 4 32GB SDcard cost around Rs.1200-1500

Class 10 32GB SDcard cost around Rs. 2100-2300

Note that price varies from place to place.

MicroSD HC vs MicroSD XC

1) The MicroSD HC Class 10 - UHS-1 works in the Galaxy Mini 2 ?

2) And the MicroSD XC Class 10 - UHS-1 ?

3) What's the difference between the HC and XC version?

4) What's the maximum speed/class that the Galaxy Mini 2 supports?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] vishal007:
Sd hc = high capacity sd card

M not confirmed about xc but i think its xtra high capacity, this all is just for size of sd card like u can see sd hc on 4/8 gb and sd xc on 32/64 gb

Btw i use class 4 8gb card and i dont have any problems, it costs around 350rs

Hey I am looking for the CRT Off zip so I can flash it to my phone. I have searched and I found the zip but it is for the international version and I wasnt sure if it would work. I am currently running the latest version of Synergy. If someone could point me in the right direction or confirm if the international version will work with the rom I am on I would greatly appreciate it.

The file psdread.cpp calls CheckITsDLL() on line ~145 and ~216. That function is declared in dllversion.h. However, I can't seem to find it in a .lib, source, etc.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tyvar1:
Hi i just want to check with you xda people what you think is the best ROM and Kernel combo?

I want to use one of this 4 ROMS:

CM 10.1

Omega

Android Revolution HD

Stock

and i want to use one of this 3 kernels:

Perseus

RedPill

Stock
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aukhan:
All Roms and Kernels are good you could try almost all ,

But you can Try MonxDIFIED Rom with Redpill Kernel.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tyvar1:
Cool thanks for the answer!

Any other ideas? :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
Always the same request :)

The better ROM and kernel depends on the utilisation of your phone and your needs.

Don't flash any AOSP based ROM if you want to keep S Calendar....

I could suggest you to try 2~3 ROMs on AOSP base and 2~3 ROMs TW base then you will be able to chose the kind of ROM you prefer. Next just flash AOSP/TW based ROMs and related kernels.

You can like AOSP Roms (like me) but there are big differences between a CM 10.1 and a RootBox for example (CM10.1+PA+AOKP).

And finally concercning the kernels the better thing to do is to read the features and try yourself! The better point of view is yours :D
