disabling cellular leaving internet

Posted on 2010-06-18 11:24 UTC by Z P. Status: Under consideration, Categories: System.

sometimes(especially, once I'm abroad and have to pay high roaming fees) I would like to be able to disable all soft/hardware that is responsible for functioning of the cellular, and in the same time be able to use internet for sip/skype, in order to

1) save battery

2) not to answer accidently an incoming call

 

Location of phone with gps

Posted on 2010-07-06 18:59 UTC by Thomas Navara. Status: Under consideration, Categories: Location & Navigation.

I would like to be able to know current location of my phone.

When I cannot find it (is it in work, home, summerhouse,...), when somebody steals it from me (possibly hurting me in process),... there're plenty legal reasons for it.

I imagine application, that will run on background and periodically report it's position to server or send it by email, etc. While it can be done python script,...

There're of course many issues/options (how often report, go online if offline for more than hour, turn on gps if not on-gps for more than four hours, send position as email / fetch url on your server,...) to decide, but that's for discussion.

faster one touch communications

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

Posted on 2010-08-01 11:17 UTC by Harald Schmitt. Status: Under consideration, Categories: Utilities, User Experience, maemo.org.

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?
