  3. Unable to set lock pin for Android apps (10 mins -- CLMA31) (rainemak, 16:05:08)
    1. <CLMA31> This is for sure well known topic for Jolla. And this has (rainemak, 16:05:17)
    2. <CLMA31> probably been asked already more than once… But hey, one (rainemak, 16:05:17)
    3. <CLMA31> more? :) I raise this topic again as it might be (rainemak, 16:05:17)
    4. <CLMA31> problematic/shock for many new comers with the Jolla phone. (rainemak, 16:05:17)
    5. <CLMA31> There has been some finding done by the community which helps to (rainemak, 16:05:17)
    6. <CLMA31> mitigate problem in some apps: Unable to set lock pin for (rainemak, 16:05:19)
    7. <CLMA31> Android apps requiring it - #77 by nick8325 & Unable to set lock (rainemak, 16:05:20)
    8. <CLMA31> pin for Android apps requiring it - #61 by nekron . You have (rainemak, 16:05:22)
    9. <CLMA31> probably seen these already, but I wanted to raise this topic (rainemak, 16:05:24)
    10. <CLMA31> again in case there is some plans regarding this? I am (rainemak, 16:05:26)
    11. <CLMA31> personally in high hopes that fixing this would allow me to use (rainemak, 16:05:28)
    12. <CLMA31> for example Microsoft Authenticator, but for many this could (rainemak, 16:05:30)
    13. <CLMA31> make it possible to use more banking apps etc. (rainemak, 16:05:32)
    14. https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/unable-to-set-lock-pin-for-android-apps-requiring-it/15806/77 (rainemak, 16:05:34)
    15. https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/unable-to-set-lock-pin-for-android-apps-requiring-it/15806/61 (rainemak, 16:05:37)
    16. <Jolla> Thank you CLMA31. Yes, this is well-known by Jolla. Let's see if (rainemak, 16:05:40)
    17. <Jolla> & when we have a chance to work on this. As you may understand, (rainemak, 16:05:42)
    18. <Jolla> there are a lot of different kind of things that we could/should (rainemak, 16:05:44)
    19. <Jolla> be working. (rainemak, 16:05:48)

  4. New customers vs. returning fans on the Jolla Phone (10 mins -- asked by rubdos) (rainemak, 16:16:01)
    1. <rubdos> The Jolla phone sales are a great success, and the second batch (rainemak, 16:16:01)
    2. <rubdos> seems to fly out of the window like hot cakes as well. (rainemak, 16:16:01)
    3. <rubdos> Congratulations! I’ve seen various mentions on X today of new (rainemak, 16:16:01)
    4. <rubdos> people joining the Sailfish OS community, through buying the new (rainemak, 16:16:01)
    5. <rubdos> device. This is great news! As an app-developer, I want to be a (rainemak, 16:16:03)
    6. <rubdos> bit prepared for the influx of new users. It made me wonder: (rainemak, 16:16:04)
    7. <rubdos> what is the fraction of returning Sailfish OS fans versus new (rainemak, 16:16:06)
    8. <rubdos> Sailfish OS users? (rainemak, 16:16:08)
    9. <rubdos> (rainemak, 16:16:10)
    10. <rubdos> I suspect that the existence of Whisperfish (sub for any popular (rainemak, 16:16:12)
    11. <rubdos> app!) could be a driving factor for the new influx. If there are (rainemak, 16:16:14)
    12. <rubdos> approximately (lets say) 5000 new Sailfish OS users, and they (rainemak, 16:16:18)
    13. <rubdos> all start using Whisperfish the minute that their phones arrive… (rainemak, 16:16:20)
    14. <rubdos> I’m going to have to take a month off of work for support (and I (rainemak, 16:16:22)
    15. <rubdos> probably will), and another month before the first shipments to (rainemak, 16:16:24)
    16. <rubdos> polish the app (to thwart the bug reports, and I probably will). (rainemak, 16:16:26)
    17. <rubdos> So my question: can Jolla share any estimates with the (rainemak, 16:16:28)
    18. <rubdos> community? (rainemak, 16:16:30)
    19. https://jolla.com/phone (rainemak, 16:16:32)

  5. Plans for Treat Mobile as WiFi for 10 III AAS (10 mins -- asked by teleshoes) (rainemak, 16:29:53)
    1. <teleshoes> This crucial feature fixes a very long-standing, painful bug (rainemak, 16:29:53)
    2. <teleshoes> /defect, but only for C2. The new Android13 AAS finally (rainemak, 16:29:53)
    3. <teleshoes> coming to 10 III in 5.0.0.73 sadly did not include this (rainemak, 16:29:53)
    4. <teleshoes> feature, which was a surprise at least to me. Fixing the (rainemak, 16:29:53)
    5. <teleshoes> network detection and the IP/routing issues in android would (rainemak, 16:29:54)
    6. <teleshoes> be wonderful of course, but as a stop-gap for the next 4 (rainemak, 16:29:56)
    7. <teleshoes> years, this solution is nearly ideal. This topic is purely (rainemak, 16:29:58)
    8. <teleshoes> about asking when this feature is coming to 10 III, or making (rainemak, 16:30:00)
    9. <teleshoes> the case for the importance of it if it is not planned. (rainemak, 16:30:02)
    10. https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/release-notes-tampella-5-0-0-76-early-access/28285/20 (rainemak, 16:30:04)
    11. <Jolla> “Treat mobile data as WLAN” requires more work on the AppSupport (rainemak, 16:30:06)
    12. <Jolla> integration side. Hopefully that is not too overwhelming amount (rainemak, 16:30:08)
    13. <Jolla> of work and we get it to all supported devices (rainemak, 16:30:10)
    14. <Jolla> eventually -- crossed fingers. (rainemak, 16:30:12)

  6. Unified Attestation (5 mins -- asked by Cryx) (rainemak, 16:41:51)
    1. <Cryx> see linked topic… Is Jolla aware of this new initiative, may it be (rainemak, 16:41:51)
    2. <Cryx> possible to implement that in AAS, would Jolla participate in that (rainemak, 16:41:51)
    3. <Cryx> initiative? (rainemak, 16:41:51)
    4. https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/unified-attestation/28249 (rainemak, 16:41:51)
    5. <Jolla> Thank you for asking. We are very well aware :-). (rainemak, 16:41:52)
