RSS FEED TO HTTP ARTICEL OPTION

normityyppi@startmail.com (Pekka Leivo) — Wed, 04 Apr 2018 22:11:46 +0000

Have tried to get the RSS reader to work. Read about the problems with ssl2 and ssl3. I managed to get the headers and short inserts of a feed but clicking the header tried to read rss which is https and failed. But the actual articel is on a http site and can be opened. When I clicked to open rss articel I stopped the download, omitted the s from https and was redirected to the articel on http site. I'm not sure how common this is, but it could be quite common so adding an option to read actual http articel on web instead of https rss would make possible to use the rss header list as a route to articels. Another idea is that if this rss problem is not gonna be solved near future, one possibility would be to make a fake rss app that would fetch news headers lists from a webpage and then open the http artikels on web but with plain text form. then it would load pages faster and make reading articels faster.

dim the display on the very start of a long action and undim it on user input or the end of the ...

serhiy.int@gmail.com (Serhiy Zahoriya) — Sat, 24 Aug 2013 14:18:46 +0000

I often find myself locking the screen while a web page is loading just to save a little bit of battery power. So I thought of minimizing screen brightness when there's nothing really important on the display right on the start of every action that's supposedly will take at least several seconds and returning to a previous brightness on any user input or at the end of the action.

Play audio on call

poomalairaj.r@gmail.com (Poomalairaj Ramasubramaniam) — Wed, 13 Jun 2012 07:28:16 +0000

The feature I desire very much was the ability to play an audio file while I am on call with my friend.

The usecase is automatic voice responder. When someone call me, the app should pick the call and plays some audio files based on the rules preset. Using this app I can tell the callers that "I am busy now" or "call me later" or "number not available (this is for telecallers promotion calls)"

This will be cool. It seems recaller app does the same in the other way. It records all the system audio. I think it may also be possible to play audio to the voice call.

Quick-launching the Music app

ujwalsoni@gmail.com (Ujwal Soni) — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 20:26:00 +0000

The Nokia N9 can detect when the headphone pin in plugged in or removed.

It would be great to have a tweak to automatically launch the Music app when the earphones are plugged in. Preferably, there can be a toggle in the Settings>Applications>Music to enable/disable the feature.

Ability to rearrange windows in matchbox

serhiy.int@gmail.com (Serhiy Zahoriya) — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 00:04:13 +0000

I need it the most after reopening some file or address. In such case I became comfort with specific window order because of using it for some time and when it changes.. That's uncomfortable and counter-productive.

Also it would be great to group windows by type or filter them.

Unleash Harmattan multitasking powers

sergiogiogio@ovi.com (sergiogiogio giogio) — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 16:06:26 +0000

Like many I was was blown away by the N9 UI, espacially in the way multitasking is presented.

Harmattan has clearly a significant edge over all competition in this respect (some competition may even never catch up), but I still think that we should start thinking of improvements for the next iteration (granted there will be one). Here are some suggestions, I suppose people may have already formulated similar ideas:

* Currently Harmattan supports a 3x3 or a 2x2 grid in the open application view, with controls of the apps disabled (you can only see the UI but not control it - please correct me if I'm wrong). I propose to add a 2x1 grid (only portrait) with controls *enabled*, which will effectively enable to have 2 applications running side by side. I believe a lot of applications would benefit from this layout (although I can't put my finger on any specific example) and it would be a real differentiator vs. all other platforms. Furthermore this feature would really benefit tablets (with bigger grids) where it is a shame to have a single app covering the whole screen as is currently the case. Access to this 2x1 grid would be through pinch-to-zoom. Note: actually this tiling mode was already implemented in some Meego prototype it seems: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=5m79buEJQQY#t=255s

* Introduce a picture-in-picture mode (suggestion proposed by MINKIN2), whereby a thumbnail of an application (inset app) is displayed while another app is displayed fullscreen (fullscreen app). This is very similar to PIP mode in TV sets, it enables to perform one task (on the fullscreen app) while monitoring a status within another app (the inset app). In this mode, only the fullscreen app receives user input, the inset app can only be watched running. It is possible to move the inset app thumbnail within the screen (by dragging the thumbnail), it is possible to make the inset app fullscreen (by tapping into the thumbail), it is possible to make the inset app bigger/smaller (by pinch-to-zoom within the inset app thumbail).

* Introduce "open application folders" the same way "application folders" will probably be implemented. An "open application folder" is a group of open application arranged in a certain grid layout (the same way applications are organized in folders). Once you are in an "open application folder" you only see the thumbnails of the apps within the group, or scroll through the open apps within the group. Open application folders are created exactly the same way application folders are, except we operate on and open applications thumbnails instead of application icons. I am not sure about the best way to go from one "open application group" to another: a swipe or maybe a zoom-out.

PDF page memory

kfjellda@hotmail.com (max zeebra) — Wed, 18 May 2011 19:19:39 +0000

The standard PDF reader that comes with N900 is great for reading a PDF document. In my opinion it lacks one very important feature, remembering what page you are on in the PDF document. Using Mandriva with KDE I have gotten used to my PDF reader remembering the page I am on for each individual PDF document I might open. I can imagine with all the talented people who contribute to Maemo that the programming to have the PDF reader remember not only the page it is on for the last document, but for any document, is not that hard to program. I would be extremely happy with anyone that would be able to make tgis possible, and I am sure I am not alone. Please.
