I happened a few times as well while I was playing with it (trying different unlock methods etc).
When it happened I typed my password and then it worked again. I never restarted FP or rebooted.

I just sleep the phone and place my finger on the reader again and it starts working. 
Pretty regularly get a bug where Bluetooth and or WiFi turns off randomly. Nothing apparently triggering it.
I ran into this as well, last friday after an uptime of about 7 day’s. I restarted the phone and it worked again.
In my previous message, I mentioned excessive battery consumption after inserting a SIM card. The issue seems to have disappeared after switching on an off “flight mode” somehow. I suspect it may have been caused by a rogue process. So far, battery consumption with the SIM card inserted has been good.

A bug I can consistently reproduce concerns audio routing in Android.
Steps: bluetooth on, headphones , i listen to some music, disconnect headphones. Connect headphones again, no audio. The solution is to restart the Android subsystem.
Also, I recorded an audio message in signal on Android and no audio was recorded (internal mic, not via the headphones).

There is reported bug that Bluetooth crashes randomly currently. There has been already fixes merged, now we just need new release to drop

My JP arrived just a couple of hours ago. Having been an early Pinephone buyer, I expected the experience to be somewhere along those lines - but man, was I wrong: Sailfish is absolutely daily driveable.
The Device
- Feels good in the hand - I almost want to use it without a case but knowing myself, that’s a bad idea
- No unnecessary ‘premium’ materials - and that’s a good thing: My Pixel 6 broke within it’s first week because the glass back would slide off of any surface
- I like the square-ness. Kind of reminds me of the OnePlus One
- I have big hands, but I still think that holding and using the phone would be much more comfortable if it wasn’t as big
- One-sided camerabumps are annoying. I actually like the direction Google went with the ‘bar’ at the back: Yes, it’s a raised surface but it’s stable when laying on a table.
SailfishOS
I am still getting used to the navigation - some things that stood out to be so far:
- Apps are fullscreen - I haven’t yet found a way to quickly glance at a clock while being in an app
- Swiping down from the top right closes the current application. That’s not bad, but Android has taught me to access quick settings that way - coupled with the point above, this has lead to a couple of accidental app closures
- I like the decluttered design philosophy - but I sometimes find myself hunting for information that could have been highlighted a bit
- Apps that aren’t running don’t show push notifications. Again, not a problem, just a different way of thinking about things
- Sorting the ‘App Drawer’ by install date might make sense to some, but I wish there was an option to have it alphabetical with folders on top

Welcome to the club!
- Drag from the side a little bit, without lifting your finger.
- Swipe from the top-center, not from the top-side(s) (figured this out yesterday…)

Compared with my XA2 the JP2026 is a speed and responsiveness improvement. Though I still find it quite big. I noticed that my screen is a bit raised from the edge, so when I swipe my finger goes over a sharp edge is that expected @Jolla @rainemak ? I’m satisfied with the phone as it meets my needs.

If you don’t already know that’s at least possible manually - so once done you just need to move newly installed apps where you want them.

Don’t want to self-promote, but that drawer was driving me insane, that is why this patch: [Patchmanager patch] App list and search
Requires Patchmanager.
Behaves more like “other platforms”: swipe up, type, ENTER.

Regarding 1 - I think in the early SFOS days they called this ‘peeking‘? Like peeking around a corner. So you drag from the side enough to spot the time or whatever else you want to spot and instead of completing the gesture (and minimising the app) you reverse the gesture to stop the app from minimising.
Is it more effort than looking at a time on the screen at any time? Yes a little. Is it fun and easy? Yes.

You can manually sort them any way you like, so that should be no more than a one-time minor effort.
edit: sorry @Cryx , just skipped over your reply

They could have used the area either side of the notch for that, means ending the app window below the notch and use the dead space above for something like time, battery, etc.

It’s not the screen but a factory screen protector. You can just peel it off if you want.
I have that too, except in my case it self-heals after a while. No idea how. I should get around to make a proper bug report any day now

Thank you for sharing your impressions! Absolutely agree about the bumps, I have disliked devices that wiggle on the table since the mid-nineties…
Peeking, as explained by others above, is your friend here. And not just for quickly checking the time. Many apps have active covers, the tiles you see in the Home screen, that provide useful information.
E.g. Calendar shows you the current date, Notes shows you the latest note you’ve made, OSM Scout shows a miniature map with your current location, and Pure Maps shows your next turn while you are navigating.
All of this is conveniently visible when you peek from your active app to the Home screen.
