Two small questions: Internet through adb / Alarm (r.100) + Some usability things

 

Hello dear Ubuntu list,

*1* I wanted to ask first if anyone come up with a working alarm ?
The one that is in this release doesn't let me save. Tried to search for an
alarm app and didn't found any.


*2* Is there any way to do an ssh tunnel or something alike to get internet
on the phone through the USB ?


Some usability things that stand out in my first week of testing:

   - Anyone knows when it's expected the phone to vibrate (
bug<https://bugs.launchpad.net/telephony-service/+bug/1232350>reported
already )

   - Browser usability is one of the most important things. At this point
   most of Javascript links are not usable. Standard anchor navigation works,
   but for some reason tapping on some links (Ex. twitter) does not work
   correctly and if the links open take an inusual time to load

   - After one week of using it I still don't get accustomed to the unusual
   navigation bar on the bottom. To make it worse, when in horizontal mode,
   the address bar collapses with the left navigation.

   - I hope that this evolves, since there is still a long way to go, and
   there is some option to select different ways of navigation menu. I don't
   see this being adopted massively in a smartphone without some serious
   usability twists.


Thanks!
