Brainstorm

the alarm clock whick wakes me up every day i s very basic there is

much room to enhance it.

Description of Problem:

In the last few months there have been quite alot of key threads and quick news on the Talk pages... within days there are normally 10-20 extras posts of people not realising, for example the servers are down, or the upgrade is out etc....

Why :

So i have created this brainstorm in the hope that a simple solution for all can be had :) - this will help the moderators and users trying to help, and also other users trying to find information. It will also help centralise some discussions.

I have added a few brainstorm solutions below - please add more if you feel there is a decent solution.

Internet on Demand

My "old" Symbian phone is only online, when an application requests the connection. After the application completes the task, the internet connection is closed automatically. A good example is the mail client -> internet connection is only needed during synchronization. I would like to have this functionality on Maemo too, to save battery life.

There are two discussion threads on talk.maemo.org:

• Brainstorm: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=41021
• General: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=38832

There a two bugs with similar requests:

• https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5422
• https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6627

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

I used My N900 as my main music player; indeed 22gigs of my memory is dedicated to Music.
