Do you have IM enabled? Facebook? How many contacts on your contact list?
If you install powertop
(enable developer mode, ssh over USB, run 'devel-su', enter password in developer mode panel in settings to get root, then run:
ssu ar mer-tools
pkcon refresh
pkcon install powertop)
and run powertop for a few minutes with the screen off/device idle, what shows up?

That is REALLY bad! Can somebody else of the Jolla owners confirm that experience as well?
Many of us wanted to belief that slower CPU and lower res screen can/will be easily forgotten with stellar battery performance.
I can put up and live with some missing functions, but having less than a day of normal operation is pissing me off.
On the positive side - I was happy to hear call quality/volume is better than N9 which sometimes is nearly impossible to use in a car or crowded place.

@mikelima -- just over border in Slovenia MMS are included in monthly subscription and is not such cost.

I can assure that at least with Nokia (dumb) phones MMS work realiably and I actually don't remember that ever failed.
Using external services is not going to solve it as nobody I know uses them. I also don't want to use them, at least Whatsapp has some privacy issues, like it wants to upload your phonebook...

Media volume goes nice and loud, there is a warning at a certain level which must be clicked through but I can take that.

Regarding battery life, I will see today at work how long it lasts before a charge. It will be getting some heavy demo usage though.
I have noticed that the battery % does seem accurate. On my N9 one I was below 30% I needed to be no further than one hour from a charger. There is none of the old 20% to 4% drop in a matter of minutes.
In Helsinki when I was getting to know the device I got to 3% battery and it did not do the N9 three knocks of impending doom. I have not yet use it to exhaustion so not sure how much notice you get of shut down.
As for screen brightness, IMHO it is like the N9 on the normal setting. It cannot match the OLED Vivid setting.

As long(er) time Jolla phone user - can you please share with us your real-life experiences with battery operating times?
And if you sailors are continuing working in optimizing OS power consumption performance?

The relevant part: "The feature set is something that where we were [three months ago], we stopped, and said 'let's stabilise this set of features and then, when we have those stable, we can start adding'. The things where we didn't have enough time or confidence they were stable, we just removed them. And we still have them, they're just in a drawer, bubbling away," Mosconi said.
