Ah I see.
However I don’t receive any sort of notifications about login attempt when I try to set up my account so I can’t insert any 2FA code into my password.
I don’t use Exchange, so it’s unrelated.
I want iCloud to be working, and as it uses standard protocols it shouldn’t be an issue yet it is.

Sorry, I wasn’t clear in my post. I was writing about another missing feature for SFOS 4.4, not commenting about missing feature mentioned by you.

That list sounds more like 5.0 features than 4.4. Most of those are quite complicated or are better served as patches/3rd party apps. And X11 will almost certainly not be added to the core OS.
About 15.:
You can enable a quick switch gesture to switch between the last 2 opened apps by swiping the app away and continuing the swipe past the center of the screen using the following experimental dconf option:
dconf write /desktop/sailfish/experimental/quickAppToggleGesture true
See https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/quick-app-switch-gesture-finally-works-in-4-0-1-please-enable-it/ for more info. It can be a bit buggy and not sure if it will ever land in the OS.
I don’t think QtWebengine in the browser will ever happen. The gecko engine is continuously being updated and QtWebengine is a bit of a mess with the old Qt, still requires python2 and otherwise would add a lot of maintenance overhead. Also playing into that google monopoly is not that great. Similarly, RCS is a mess of a standard… I wouldn’t want to support it, but maybe at some point Sailfish will have to.

At least the Telegram option became a bit obsolete at least for Europeans since many European countries (e.g. Germany) are about to ban/block it soon.
Some of the other feature you requested are already supported through third-party-apps, what is probably not the worst thing to do.
What do you mean? Why would they ban it? I thought mostly third world authoritarian states does this.

Which are mostly Android apps, and not integrated into the system, not to mention most of the things I wrote are should be part of the OS for the best possible UX and functionality, this is what I miss the most.
The rationale of German state is that antivax/fascist/etc use Telegram as a means of communication/Propaganda and the operator does not sufficiently monitor illegal statements like appeal for violence.
Of course this won’t lead to anything.

Hello, I have several suggestions.
- The possibility to attribute a specific calling sound to a contact. It was a standard feature in the 2000’ phones, so why is it not available in a modern smartphone ?..
- A nice feature would the support of dual camera for the Xperia 10, and in a general way, a better support of the common missing features for the Xperia (RTC alarms, FM radio, etc.)
- An OS release only for fixing the lot of existing bugs and also for the security patches.

Well hopefully the corona crises is over before the government would set up some antimeasures. There are countries actively blocking telegram, so, technically it’s no big deal implementing this kind of censorship. Of course this would still not prevent people from using vpns or other free /non centralised messenger protocolls (as in other countries with internet censorship in place), but that’s probably another chapter

Nobody mentioned the missing quick charge ability… Might be a kernel isssue, but is really nice to have!

You can use any encrypted (like encrypted, not “lets call it encrypted and give keys to some random gov”) communication to spread b…llshit. Lets just ban encryption. 
Thats so stupid its not even funny…
I use it quiet often. Works well for me.
I’d say it could be implemented as standard into 4.4
I’d just suppress/shorten the waiting time+vibra before the switch command happens.
PALEEEEEEZ
I need a “delete all” function in SMS-app
seriously ! the pile is stacking up since YEARS - and i refuse to do it via CLI , for its '22 - it should be in the functions

Long exposure time for Camera app. (auto or manual)
A feature I often miss while making pictures in low light conditions.
Example: Beautyful buildings in the evening, lit by a nice artificial light: XA2 screen = black

Sure but it’s still bs trying to ban the entire service as it would lead to nothing, as someone else already stated before. There are other means to take these racist assholes into account.

I think the threat of a complete ban is only meant as a leverage to make the service operator comply.

Yes, probably, and it did obviously work out and Telegram deleted some channels, eventually.
So the thing is of the table, as we Germans use to say:-)
