Community meeting on IRC 9th September 2021

Copying @bfd’s question from Community meeting on IRC 19th August 2021 - #6 by bfd

  • Name / IRC nick: bfd_fr
  • topic: upcoming fixes/improvements
  • some details about the topic:

a) Safety of the usage of the device: some applications require the device to stay always on, not going into dark mode and lock screen, especially GPS/routing applications. Is it possible to add an “always on” button in the top menu?
Answer from community: There is qml plugin for this Nemo QML Plugins Keepalive - Sailfish OS and most gps aplications use it.

b) On Xperia 10ii, the current OS version mentions that it is no possible to use a headset with a microphone on the jack connector. This is a huge annoyance, could you please fix is soon? Alternatively or additionally, can we connect a headset with microphone on the USB-C plug?

c) Is there a list of officially supported Bluetooth devices?

approx. time needed: 5-10min
optional: I’ll do my best to connect, even though this will me my first time using IRC-like communication channel

Thanks to all the community
