Allow user to rearrange order of the menu icons

Posted on 2009-11-19 14:49 UTC by Johannes Siipola. Status: Under consideration, Categories: User Experience.

The current menu is very limited and does not allow the user to rearrange the menu icons. I know the deskop is said to repace the menu at the most part, but this is still a very severe limitation.

SMS Classical View

Posted on 2009-12-09 17:45 UTC by Rami Zalloum. Status: Under consideration, Categories: User Experience.

There should be an option for the customer to use a classical SMS Inbox view instead of the conversational view

 

sometimes you just need to see SMSs received/sent on a certain day regardless of the sender

Add more desktop computer-like functionality to single-line text fields within Maemo 5, system-wide

Posted on 2009-12-09 19:37 UTC by Tim Samoff. Status: Under consideration, Categories: User Experience.

Currently, when navigating single-line text fields within Maemo 5, using the UP and DOWN arrow keys on the hardware keyboard move the cursor to the previous (UP) and next (DOWN) text fields, if more than one text field is present (e.g, modifying settings in Modest, or adding information to Contacts, etc.). If only one text field exists within a View, the UP/DOWN arrow keys do nothing.

Wifi-based Proximity Profiles

Posted on 2009-11-03 22:24 UTC by . Status: Under consideration, Categories: Utilities, User Experience, System.

It would be very useful to have a setup which allows your profiles to change automatically based on your location. Obviously this isn't practical by using GPS because that'll suck the battery dry, but since most people will have wifi on permanently, it might be possible to use that instead.

Additionally, it would be pretty swish to have the device automatically open and close applications based on these profiles. Other changes could include ringtone/vibrate, power settings, gps on/off, bluetooth on/off, etc.

Simply, the device could be set to activate profile A (vibrate, calendar, calculator, VNC, bluetooth, etc) when connected to, say, work_wifi_network_abc, and then deactivate when it is no longer connected. The device may then activate Profile B (ringtones, bluetooth, music, etc) when connected to home_wifi network.
