Improve N900 portrait mode

Posted on 2010-05-04 07:44 UTC by Timo P. Status: Under consideration, Categories: User Experience.

The meaning of this brainstorm is to find out what features in N900 should be usable when device is held in portrait with single hand. Point is to find out what are the most important things to get working in portrait mode and see if there are ways to implement those.

 

So add your portrait feature requests here!

 

faster one touch communications

Posted on 2010-07-15 14:42 UTC by matthew maude. Status: Under consideration, Categories: User Experience.

i'd like to be able to have one touch communication options on the desktop, there are some contacts i mainly talk to over msn and some i mainly call, the same goes for sms, skype, facebook chat but having contacts on the desktop doesn't really speed this up

 

Type to start application

Posted on 2010-07-17 10:17 UTC by Sunish Issac. Status: Under consideration, Categories: Desktop, User Experience.

Nokia's built in interface displaying all applications as well as catorise and my menu does not start application or go to the application name automatically. It would be excellent if an app can be started by just typing its name. For eg if I type C, it should just list apps that start with C, if I type Ca, it should list calendar, camera or what apps the user has starting with Ca.

 

 

Many tested apps in Extras-testing are not promoted timely

In Extras testing there are at the moment 222 apps & themes and 44 of them are in status "Promotion unlocked, waiting for maintainter to promote". These 20% is a pretty high number.

How can this be reduced?

RDS and PTY interface and player integration

Posted on 2011-01-07 06:16 UTC by nemo nowhere. Status: Under consideration, Categories: Media, User Experience, Devices.

N900 is currently capable of sending "Nokia" as RDS station name. I suggest that we expand this functionality so that it can send all types of RDS fields and PTY codes and make it into a general API.

Secondly we should enable media players to broadcast RDS info from mp3 filename or name tags.

Eventualy some one could use the interface to send sms or caller id while FM transmitter is in use.
