Jolla Phone and Google Play Store - Sailfish General

I followed instructions on how to install Google Play Store on Sailfish OS (http://jollafin.blogspot.co.at/2013/11/play-store-for-jolla.html). It works great with most of apps but one problem that I'm experiencing is that I can't redownload my purchases. I can view them but they show up in the store as never purchased and when I try to buy and install them I get an error message.
Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

Sorry no. But I want your phone.

I also want your phone and I also can't help you.
Did I mention that I want your phone?

... I've been using the phone for about month and it's great!

While the OS is still in beta, and fist update came yesterday, i'm very happy Jolla user. My old nexus 7 is getting dust, while Jolla has come my primary device. There is still some problems that annoys very much, like i personally cant get exchange sync to sync my contacts, while everything else works.
UI is intuitive with very good response. Camera is not so good, but this probably will improve with software, as were the case with N9. Android software "works" mostly good, but when you install enough android software, some applications comes very unstable, or wont start at all (like angry birds..)
As former N9 user, i dont anymore feel the need to go back. This is far better than N9, but navigation is not near "Nokia experience", actually its crappy at the moment.

^There is a software update released yesterday with some bug fixes. Have you updated yet?

@justdidit
what about the android game performance? is it satisfying? have you tried any games different than the ones we saw on youtube?

I have only played angry birds, and it works as good as any other device. Gesture based UI has its own challenges when gaming You can easily swipe the whole game off several times and thatsquite annoying...

Buzz!

So what do you guys think?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-kcVDNi6eg&feature=player_embedded
I tried it, its a bit temperamental here in the uk.
Google have basically reinvented twitter, but in this case it is potentially useful!
I dont have the layer for maps, of the icon on the browser - maybe cuz im uk??
Pretty cool to see whats happening "nearby".
They say
We're still rolling out Buzz to everyone, so if you don't see it in your Gmail account yet, check back soon.

I'm also still waiting for it to show up on my google sites.
Update your Google Maps to 4.0.0 and you'll have Buzz!
I tried it and it's really cool, I think I'm only using it with latitude tho.. prefer twitter.
The mobile page is still a bit slow but looks good.
Didn't try the "nearby" yet, is it available in Maps too? can't find it right now
I went to my Gmail page on my laptop, and didn't have a Buzz label. I haven't tried updating Maps on my phone yet, but I will now and play with it...

First Post!
Woo Hoo! First one to Buzz within about 100 mile radius! (yes I live in the sticks) Almost like a first post on slashdot or something...
I'll check the nearby stuff tomorrow xD I don't think I have many people around who using buzz

I don't think so. Google seem to have underestimated, once more, the amount of traffic that's generated. Buzz seems to be broken in the UK atm.

Not only that, but Buzz doesn't really fill the same niche that Twitter does. Twitter has Geolocation, but doesn't really focus on it. Twitter is more about mini-conversations, and sharing byte-sized information.
This is kind of like Britekite or something.

So what happens in a week or two when the whole map is "buzzed" ?

They must expire (i suppose), otherwise "Buzz" will be useless pretty soon.
maybe 24 hours is too soon though.....

yes, the Nearby list is sorted via proximity, and on the map, they expire after 24hrs.
anyone having the issue with "posting" the first time you try to post via the mobile site - you may need to turn ON your pop-up windows. There is a pop-up that asks for permission to show your location.
I ended up downloading Dolphin, and it worked there (after the pop-up)... after that the stock Android browser worked correctly.

N1 + iPad = Perfect Match

I'm on the road with my brothers, I'm Running wireless tether on my N1 and I am able to browse the Internet on this gorgeous big screen. I'm typing this up on it right now! My brother knows nothing about rooting or anything of that nature. So he is pretty amazed that my phone can do this that he now wants to get an Android phone. Possibly an N1 too.
thats soo cool dude. i want an iPad rather much. gonna wait for the version 2.0 though i believe.
I thought the iPad couldn't tether.
Maybe just not with an iPhone
ipad can connect wifi... n1 can provide connectivity for wifi devices =)

dahhh it says my kernel is bad or something
I have been wondering exactly who ipads appeal to as I know no one who wants one or is planning on buying one. I am old though so it is probably more an age thing than anything else. Glad you are digging it, a new toy is always good.

The iPad is a great device. I played with it at the Apple store this weekend.
However, it's not much more than an entertainment device. The lack of multitasking, and a real file system kills it for me. Productivity is possible, but without those two, it suffers greatly.
Add those two, and a camera, and now we're talking.
I'll wait for version 2.0, or the Chrome Tablet. Check out the pics / video:

Craigslist App

Someone should create a Craigslist application unless a free one already exists I don't know about? Lol.
and also a kijiji app
I think windows mobile is the only OS that doesn't have it. My friends have it on their Droids and iPhones.
I have been recently wondering. If an app has been created for droid and Iphones. how hard is it to make the exact same or similar app for us WM users?

It has to be built from the ground up for WM...android and iphones are based on the same core technology in terms of the OS, but WM is a completely different beast. That's why you'll usually see the android and iphone versions of a software title appear at almost the exact same time, and then rarely if ever a matching WM release

I'll write a much more touch-friendly CL app when I get a chance in a few weeks.

why do you need an app?
Seems like cl works just fine using the browser. I also have used the browser for google voice, gmail, etc... they all work fine (of course you have to do some zooming at times to select links).
The one thing I haven't found yet is a very good web based im client. I've played with ebuddy but am not sure if it's very good yet.

Any RSS reader can read Craigslist. Some RSS readers have alarms for keywords as well.

For the same reason that dedicated apps exist for Facebook and anything else-- a native app can offer a much easier and faster on-the-go experience. Craigslist is a pretty simple site, but it still requires lots of panning and zooming to use on a phone. A solid mobile client would take care of that.

Just wondered if you had the time to write a more "touch-friendly CL app" yet?
I would love to try it.
You could just save your local CL as a bookmark and attach it as a quicklink.
It helps if you add as a browser tab, and go into the site. This way the sites page is saved as a icon image. Then make it a quicklink.

Fully rooted, SlingPlayer not showing up in the Market

I was so excited when I got the email saying that the SlingPlayer for Android is released. So I checked the Market and ... well it's not there.
My other friend's stocked Evo already purchased and installed SlingPlayer but I just can't seem to find it no matter what in Market.
I read somewhere that it was because the Market checks the OS build and such to make sure it's okay for that platform.
Anybody has any ideas?
P.S. I have mine fully rooted.

Well mine is the stock ROM that the full root supplied, with a "test key" after the build number.
Not sure if that's the cause or what but I guess if I really don't have no choice but to use a leaked APK then... meh.

The quality is actually pretty bad. I have the HD sling, hooked up via component cables. Basically, there are no options to adjust any quality settings. This is what it looks like at home over wifi. And yes, I pulled my cablemodem power to make sure it was actually using the in house wifi.
Source is a 1080i image that looks awesome over my 5mb up connection, on my PC. On the phone, just barely worth watching at arms lenght.
Note the graininess on 1 & 2, and the TERRIBLE aliasing (jaggies) on 3.
Not worth $30, to me.
Well thanks guys, but I end up finding it somewhere the lights don't shine.
It looks okay with my Solo over Component at 720p.
Beats the heck out of the Touch Pro 2 though!

right..you're suppose to replace that 'test' ROM with a rooted ROM so the market works etc.

[XAP][OEM] Collection of apps for lumia 630 [SAMSUNG][HTC]

Hi! I decided to post here some ,,unsupported,, oem marketplace apps for other devices that also work on lumia 630. It is most likely to work on other devices than lumia 630, but since I only have this device, I can say that apps were tested before published here. (apps are open-source)
All apps are up to date till today 22.12.2015 , directly from windows phone store. I do not plan for future updates.
Keep in mind that no one is responsible for any damages that can occur !
Enjoy, and feel free to comment.
