Not enough functionality for Ad-Hoc connections

Posted on 2009-07-12 15:39 UTC by Sébastien Gendre. Status: Under consideration

There are not enough functionality available between Maemo-Devices connected to HAD-OC.

For exemple:

- Sharing of multimedia files (audio, video and photo).

- Send files via WiFi and / or folder sharing.

- Communication via Jabber / XMPP to HAD-OC without the need to account.

- Game.

- Send a "favorites" (favorites Internet link, favorite RSS flux, etc ...).

 

Touch based image rotation

How about being able to rotate an onscreen image in the photo viewer by dragging one of its corners around. This is a common requirement in taking photos adn would show off the touch screen

 

Wifi-based Proximity Profiles

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.

 

 

Option to delete all user data while flashing firmware.

The desktop flasher app should give the user an option to delete all user data and restore back to factory settings.  If the phone is ever sold or traded, sensitive information might fall into the wrong hands without this.

 

Undelete instead of Confirm Delete

Posted on 2009-12-10 14:48 UTC by . Status: Under consideration, Categories: User Experience.

The Hildon 2.2 UI Style Guidelines 12.2-3 state that editing should have an undo option, whereas deleting should require confirmation.

The fallacy of confirmation dialogues is well documented, for example To Confirm is Useless, to Undo Divine. Users simply develop a reflex of tapping confirm on each dialogue, and they become a mere annoyance without offering actual protection from unwanted actions.

A much better solution is for deletion to be undoable, and not require confirmation.
