1. Better scrool funktion with the d-pad, like on S60 devices would be pefect for me.
2. +3 on A2DP support.
3. Maybe some kind of power controll software where you can set cpu speed and brightness and have several settings for maximum power and for maximum battery, and maybe more advanced where it can auto set the speed and brightness according to battery power, like on a pc?

Thanks Benson, I don't know where my mind is.

Re: Suggestions for the next OS release
 

One more thing it would be nice if it was possible to sync the bookmarks and contacts with pc suite, like on n-series smartphones, maybe also a sync software on the device to syng directly with a s60 device.

an option to lock the homescreen would be really nice, I keep constantly moving the applets around on accident...

Re: Suggestions for the next OS release
 

Sorry, revived an old thread instead of starting a new one....

Some of my suggestions for the next OS release

1. Running applications in the background (load webpages, load email, error messages should just use a blinking icon to show that they’re there, not to kick off the active page)

2. A more streamlined (i.e. faster) web-browser that retains flash support. MicroB, as micro as it is, is still painfully slow on some websites, even with adblock and flashblock addons enabled.

3. Touch keyboard needs to have buttons that are more separated from each other (a la iPhone), making it less likely to press two keys or press the wrong key

4. Allow the user to delete or re-add applications to the menu (some of that built-in crap needs to go…permanently…)

5. Allow the user to delete the other shortcut web and communication buttons on the desktop

6. Handwriting recognition needs to be sped up. I’d like to write more often, but the slow speed prevents me from doing it. I’d also wish it would wait till I pressed space or a punctuation key before turning my handwriting into a word.

7. D-pad needs to be configured to actually scroll on a webpage instead of just moving a cursor down the webpages text and links (that's what happens on my OS2008 N800 at least).

8. Movable error messages and other popup prompts. It's hard to say yes or no when you can't see exactly what the message refers to sometimes.


Also, does anyone know how we can get Nokia to listen in on these suggestions?

I'm sorry, what? Applications work perfectly fine in the background right now. . . .

Wait for Fremantle.

Space isn't unlimited, button spacing means smaller buttons, means harder to hit buttons.

You can do this just fine now. . . .

You can do this just fine now. . . .

The current HRW needs to die in a fire, it's beyond useless.

You can already do this. . . .

Tap the message box to make it invisible.

Well, these are all either already implemented or have feature requests in Bugzilla. So. . . .

Re: Suggestions for the next OS release
 

I think all the "hacks" that people here have worked so hard on should be included. To name a few:

Screen Rotation
A2DP
Bluetooth PAN
OGG support (built in)
etc....

Aside from that, a super smooth GUI and open source default apps. Oh, and faster everything. :D

Re: Suggestions for the next OS release
 

General Antilles,

It may just be some of the sites I'm browsing, but when I open links in new windows and the link finishes loading, it jumps the browser to the new link even after I've switched back to the main page to continue reading whatever is was there.

Could you please direct me to the threads/sites explaining how to manipulate the menu and desktop? It would be greatly appreciated!

I guess some of the things I requested were things I was hoping would be built-in on the next iteration, instead of add-ons or workarounds (for example screen rotation).

Thanks for all the answers.

Re: Suggestions for the next OS release
 

Some desires for me:

MicroB:

The ability to open a web page in a new window in the Background instead of in front

Acceleration based scrolling ala Safari on the iPhone

OS:

Better (or more obvious) power management or sleep. My tablet ends up dead more often than I expect it to. For example, my old palm let me down unexpectedly a couple times a year. My tablet lets me down a couple times a month.

Smaller font for the application start menu or better layout, ala Personal Menu

Python and Java built into the os so devs can depend on them to be in place

Application Manager:
Better repository management, I have no clue which ones I should or should have, or where a program is coming from

Ability to jump to application in list by typing the first letter. e.g. pressing L brings you to the first application starting with L in the list

Ratings visible in the application manager, e.g. 5 stars for numpty physics and ability to sort by popularity or rating.
