rSAP (Remote SIM) support for N900

Posted on 2010-01-03 09:42 UTC by Zilvinas B.. Status: Under consideration, Categories: User Experience, System.

rSAP (or SAP) is used for mainly Nokia carkits. Many European manufacturers as Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda, Mercedes have it on their cars. The carkit connects to the phone, copies the SIM data, then puts the phones own transmitter into offline mode and uses the data from the sim to bring online it's own transmitter. For increased reception, lower battery usage on the phone and great voice quality. Great service.

There have been number of entries on bugzilla (5204, 7182) and talks (34027, 31962, 35756) about this. This just has to be part of Nokia N900 bluetooth profiles.

It's really sad that N900 (Maemo) doesn't support this bluetooth profile out-of-the-box.

Add optional "New messages: ... Missed calls: ..." to the "swipe to unlock screen"

Posted on 2010-01-16 18:25 UTC by Z P. Status: Under consideration, Categories: User Experience.

often I do not hear that new message has arrived, in order to check whether I have one - I have to

1) press the power button

2)  swipe to unlock

3) enter the code

and only then I see that I have nothing new...

 

MicroB WebBrowser: possibility to scroll fast in long websites

The N900 touchscreen is great. But it's annoying to swipe about 20 times in long websites to reach the top of a page. We need a good solution for this issue! :)

Add caller specific ring tones and alarm specific tones (N900)

Posted on 2010-01-18 07:12 UTC by Patrick Moslley. Status: Under consideration, Categories: User Experience.

Some pretty basic stuff that I hope is not hard to impliment is having caller id specific ring tones instead of just one ring tone for everything, and the same for the alarm clock, being able to have a different ringer for each alarm should be a basic feature.

The first being the most important, I dont bother to answer the phone unless I know its important so I like to give  my wife and parents exclusive ring tones so I know its them calling me.

I am requesting this for Maemo 5 / N900
