User Experience feedback improvement(s)

Posted on 2009-12-21 21:56 UTC by Randall Arnold. Status: Under consideration, Categories: User Experience.

The Problem:

The Maemo ecosystem could benefit from a rich, internally-consistent feedback mechanism or mechanisms supporting bug reporting, managed application testing, application rating and related activities.  Currently, bug reporting is difficult for average and/or new users, testing is too ad hoc and ratings systems are not fully utilized.

The Proposal:

Develop a solution or solutions that makes these activities easier on users and puts feedback opportunities in more appropriate locations and contexts.

Providing support for Generic Access Network (GAN)/Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA)

Posted on 2010-02-05 17:08 UTC by Paul Grodt. Status: Under consideration, Categories: Internet & Networking.

The N900 does not currently support Generic Network Access (GAN), which is often also referred to by its implementation, "Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA)".  This is a feature that, if implemented by a mobile provider, allows acess to a 3G/GSM network through a generic Internet (IP) connection.  In the case of the N900, this would be an 802.11 Wi-fi connection.  This allows voice calls and SMS in places that have poor or zero cellular signal reception (e.g. basements, shielded buildings).  This also effectively bypasses the need to purchase a separate Femtocell.
