No barcode scanning program works. seems they don't get access to camera oroperly.
chrome gets installed fibe, but entering a url it just sits there doing nothing.
lots and lots of other apps crashes or malfunctions. Boy, our sailor boys have lots of work to do. But I will be patiently waiting.

do the android apps check some kind of platform identifier string on the phone for it to work? if so, maybe there's a way to change this?
just a guess....*shrug*

Foursquare seems to have few GPS Problems, but finds the general location... I have no idea how it is supposed to work as I've used Ubersquare on the n900 until now.
Whatsapp has a strange problem: Some of my contacts are shown with just their picture and phone number, no name. The others (the majority) is shown correctly with the name. Refreshing contact list didn't work.
Also I am not really sure whether Whatsapp works correctly, it seems not to send any notifications / sounds.
And while we're at it, how exactly do the android apps behave? When is an android app closed an when is it still running in the background? With sailfish apps it's easy to see, but not so sure with android. Is the button on the right a taskswitcher or does it merely show recent apps?

I've installed the apk from whatsapp homepage (http://www.whatsapp.com/android/) , my contacts were already added in the Phone. Anyone knows how to fix it (not able to retrieve contacts)?
Are you able also to add contacts using WA? I got a permission error (or similar) when doing it.
Regards!
So if you add a contact to your Jolla phone book with their number set as mobile it will show up in whatsapp. (don't know if a device reboot is required)

I've installed OsmAnd~ from f-droid. Offline, vector based OSM maps with offline navigation. I can only hope with the Jolla app will one day achieve feature parity with this app.

I try to avoid google, but many companies publish their apps only on the google play store. Needing a google-account is one thing, as I could make one specially for the purpose. Having google's services running in the background on my device however is something I really want to avoid. Are there tools available to download free apps from the play store, without using the play store?
There's this, but that might close down any minute. The alternative, using Chrome, well... That won't run so great on Jolla - like I even would want to use google's browser.
Anymore options?

Foursquare app is not working on Jolla, can't sign in:
"Google Play services, which some of your applications rely on, is not supported by your device. Please contact the manufacturer for assistance".
Any ideas?
