Improving the Alarmclock

Posted on 2009-11-01 22:42 UTC by Helmuth M.. Status: Under consideration, Categories: User Experience.

I'm using my Mobiles as a Alarmclock in the morning... and every day I'm pressing 2 or 3 times the Sleep mode. At the N900 with the Touchscreen it is in my opinion to easy to turn it off early in the morning.

 

Edit:

Insight: We need a solution for every programm that unlocks the device itself.

So a another Brainstorm was created related to this. A common UI change is needed. Not only on application level. Please VOTE here.

 

Get Cryptography Average Joe Ready

There is no GnuPG GPG PGP environment, no dm-crypt, no blowfish-button in file-context-menus and no GU interfaces ready to use for Joe Average!

There was already the question of securing private data.

 

What is the best way to get email/IM/file/addressbook de/encryption/signing to Joe and his friends.

Should it be part of all programs containing private data? Should there be a Privacy Manager Tool to manage keys keyrings, encrypted files, addressbooks and calendar entries?

 

Encrypting the whole filesystem is neither a solution for the private data nor for email. It slows down the system and drains the battery. On my Netbook its costs are about 1-2Watts, speed I dont realy recognize.

It'll be great to have the dialer picking up the names of contacts when you input few letters from their names or the first few numbers of the phone number using the dialing pad.

 

Similar feature to feature on WM dialpad.

 

Notifications on Standby Screen

When the device is on standby or locked, the screen is completely blank. Other than the notification light, there is no indication of missed calls, messages received etc.

 

Enhance call-forwarding/call-divert options

There is a one-size-fits-all call-forwarding/call-divert in N900, there should be seperate options for

1-divert when busy

2-divert unconditional

3-divert when turned-off/unreachable

 

you can brainstorm it on
