Sometimes I think people forget just how small Jolla's staff count is.

I was surprised as it is still working with my N9.
Note as well that it was (apparently) silently failing in the Jolla: no messages of any sort pop up. But the consequence is that nothing was synchronised so no email, no calendar no contacts! So my guess was that google is preventing me from using it in a new device... because i tried different configuration of mfe but none worked.
PS: another reason to put me more out of google

Today's discoveries:
* headset button doesn't pause music
* holding headset button doesn't skip next track
* incoming call in the middle of music stops music... and then nothing. no resume, even if you don't answer.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolla they've got 150 employees. (edit1)
According to the german wiki http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolla 100 employees. (edit2)

Don't take me wrong. They produced a decent device. But it's still alpha or beta and criticism must be allowed.

Skype is owned by Microsoft. I can only say that ... ;/
Found it @ https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA1...at-is-skypekit (you have to be logged in to see the page):
What is SkypeKit?
SkypeKit is a collection of software and APIs (Application Programming Interface) that allows devices or applications connected to the internet to offer Skype voice and video calls. It's designed to work with a wide range of chip sets, operating systems, and audio/video devices.
SkypeKit runs invisibly, with no user display. This way, developers are free to surface and deliver Skype functionality through their own products' interfaces.
SkypeKit is no longer accepting new developer registrations. If you are developing websites or applications that you want to integrate with Skype, check out the Skype URIs.
Don't know if Microsoft is solely to blame for that, tho. It was rumored they'll kill support for Skypekit quite some time before Microsoft bought them (btw. I always like to compare the prices Microsoft paid for never-in-their-history-profitable software company and the whole D&S department of Nokia including granted patent use, factories, offices... but I digress) - they were in the process of introducing advertising in a vain attempt to earn something which just wouldn't be feasible through the library, thus - discontinue the library! Microsoft even went on to say that they are interested in having Skype on every single platform out there and that Skype will be not hindered whatsoever after their purchase of it. I know, timeo Danaos et dona ferentes, but still...
Anyway, I wouldn't rise my hopes of getting native Skype on Sailfish anytime soon and given the current state of things I don't think we'll ever see the level of integration of Skype we've experienced on the N900/N9

Show aside, this picture tells of course nothing about how the real packing looks like.

Have you checked what exactly happens when you try to make the WLAN connection that fails, does anything suspicious get logged, for example?
I tried to manually edit wpa_supplicant.conf in /etc/wpa_supplicant, but as far as I discovered settings are not taken from there. Any ideas where sailfish keeps connection settings?

Here are some help until Jolla can implement a better solution:

Like the look of the second one though. Will find some time to try it later today. In the meantime I'm using SCP to work directly with /run/user/100000/media/sdcard

Criticism and feedback is how this community has grown. I don't think many of us who bought a Jolla were under any illusion that it would be anything but a beta product at launch. If you expect something that works perfectly immediately then it is perhaps not the device for you. As someone who has been a member of this community for years, I have grown to trust these people to deliver over time. Half the fun is in the journey there.
