Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

THANKS ALOT!!! I was wondering why my headphones were stuttering and I turned off the wifi and it was clear..

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

I'd like to see some internet browser improvement. At times it will work flawlessly then for some unexplained reason the address bar will stop updating the address and will not show the progress bar when loading a new page. If i continue browsing for some time after this point the browser will become unresponsive. PLEASE FIX IT! :)

Other than that gripe i'm quite happy with the rest of the phone.

My widgets/icons disappearing off the main screen randomly on reboot and having to reimport them. The app manager randomly failing and having to reboot just to get it working.

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

I'm hoping for:

- more options for camera
- more options for videocamera
- getting rid of grain in photos
- browser portrait
- pdf portrait
- fixing some bugs

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

I'de like to be able to send music via bluetooth without having to use a secondary app (petrovic)
Have the ability to rearrange the menu
Have the ability to change the browser homepage.

They are all basic and standard things I've used from symbian but are neglected by maemo :/

I'de also like to see games and useful utilities along with an application/email/conversation lock.
OH AND I WANT TO B ABLE TO USE MY DAMN 3 SIM!"

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

nobody seems to have any problems with battery life. assuming everybody is OK with it.

for me portrait mode for browser is useless.
email app is aweful
video chat would be awesome

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

There is no fax contact field in the nokia n900!!!, Does anyone has experienced the same issue??I 've sent an email to nokia support 5 days ago, and no answer yet!!

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

What I would like to see in the next firmware, is a toothbrush instead of a stylus. Also an inbuilt electric razor would be appreciated. This would make the N900 a truly portable wonder device with everything you need! :p :D

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

Please vote for bug 5742.

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

Lots of small bug fixes, improvement, stability, small feature requests and optimizations. And then, some bells & whistles features would be nice like the front camera integration all over the place.

But mostly, improving the battery, upgrading the kernel, fixing everything SIP related to actually make this a world phone, fixing Ovi Map as it is actually completely useless besides knowing where you are, some standardization of the zoom/volume feature would be nice too. Put back the ability to edit the keys in the terminal's bar.

I pesonally don't care about portrait mode much (can be fun ...) and really not about MMS (as it doesn't make much sense to pay to send individual crappy quality pictures when i can wait to get the internet or just email a url of my album later on or even stream to Qik.

So yeah, battery, battery, battery!
But basically, why not switch to a Ubuntu like bug fixing process?
Send OTA updates as other have suggested to fix small bug in packages...

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

a lot of the stuff I'd like to see is already been said, the only thing I would see in addition is:

a notifier that tells you when a package is not optified, or an option to tick that prevents applications that try to install more than files necessary on rootfs

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

They would do much better with quality if they posted indevidual bug fixes as they become available (into extras-testing) instead of storing it all up for a big release.

Noka is off to a great start but hasn't yet learned how to exploit their most important and FREE asset ... the community.

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

I concur, there doesnt seem to be a place for FAX in contacts. i have to admit I was highly amused by this bug .... sign of the times, fax is on its way out.

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

I will like to find:

* MMS
* bugs, battery draining optimizations, battery duration
* Improvements in email app( can delete multiple email in Nokia Messaging, speed, etc....)
* more phone profile options linked with connections mode and other configuration ( mode road = general profile + 10 mw wifi + 2G only + skype connection bussy + .....)
* more options in the conversations and phone app( open a new chat from a group conversation choosing the person)
* portrait mode in messaging, email and browser
* A widget or app where you can see conversations(IM, SMS and MMS)+calls+new emails. Will be easy to track all events.

It's almost christmas we have to believe in Nokia. My more than 60 days wait, change of my first send N900 due to reboots will have its final prize.

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

weird.. does no body here drive a car?

my first one is : Voice Dialing that all phones of the last X number of years all do have already.

second: dont bother implementing MMS.. Please dont spend anytime in that use your time for other stuff. (thats just my point of view)

but my top

1> voice dialing (now it is quite dangerous for me to dial somebody and i can get a ticket of about 200 euro's)
2> improve the email client A LOT... Imap Idle support! Send button in the status bar, Way faster in everything, A global new mail inbox over all inboxes (where you jump to if you get new mail) and a desktop widget that also displays the contents of that new mail box. new Mails that i open through the task mananger cant be deleted... If i delete an email it goes to the next one, i want to go back to the list! And i can go on and on... Emailing is one of the worst parts of the N900 that area with the next point is one of the big steps backward from my E90.
3> Fix navigation (feature wise update to S60 Ovi Maps 3 including voice navigation, paying for navigation is no problem)
4> google calender sync and integration (so multi calendars of google are mapped exactly like that in the N900... but i guess this will be third party effort)
5> browser fixes, this one is for me the biggest cpu hog. As far as i can monitor, i hope that overal they can improve cpu usage as much as possible because that would also mean better battery performance.

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

Agree with almost everyone. Better battery management would be great, I'd like to see a better battery, if not shipped with the devices, for sale for this soon. I almost couldn't believe such a large-ish device had such a small-ish battery, but that's not a firmware/software issue.

MMS messaging. For those of you who don't like it or wouldn't use it, that's fine, but why do multiple people feel the need to explicitly say not to include it? To some of us it is important, if you don't want it, don't use it and that's that.

Messaging in portrait mode with T9 touchscreen on an old style number pad so it could easily be done with one hand.

Navigation/GPS needs an all-around upgrade.

The ability to create custom profiles (at least one more? One for loud, one for silent, one for quiet).

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

Portrait mode, portrait mode and portrait mode.

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

Doubt tha it will be soon, as N900 uses shitty gstreamer backend which is really sensitive to cpu usage, I never use it with linux desktop as it's so unusable

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

I really doubt we're getting the update before end of the year. Nokia has a dirty habit of pushing dates lol. Though, I do have my n900 in hand.

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

Having seen the bug-fix list, I'm not expecting the update to make a huge difference to my n900 use.

Can't help nursing a secret fantasy of flash 10 to activate bbc iplayer... in time to rewatch the Christmas Dr Who duing my annual Boxing Day lie in! (yes, I on;y get to lie in one a year.)

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

Here's list of things that might come with the new firmware.
http://marcin.juszkiewicz.com.pl/200...-n900-bringsk/

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

hopefully better MfE. either this gets fixed or n900 is going to be sold. i know i have harped on this, but without i find this phone/tablet frustrating.

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

Do you guys think we'll see notifications enabled on the lock screen in a future firmware update? It's kind of a pain having to unlock the phone to see missed calls, etc.. I know the notification light is there and all but it would be nice to have something more..

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

3g video call and mms

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

Calendar notifications are horrible. Those could use same kind notification information as sms and phone calls. There is just no way to know why phone ringed if it was calendar event as it shows no where if you missed it

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

I don't need portrait mode mode in browser but everywhere else. If the upcoming update breings portrait mode support only in browser, it's useless.

I hope in some point, they will add a proper call log (I want to check the duration of each call seperate) and in dsevice local search.

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

I don't care if they have portrait mode for browser..it's useless anyway i think. Everything else ought to be in portrait.

I like to see an update of the App manager...it's pretty slow.
I like to see more features for video cam recorder
I like to see MMS...i can not believe that my old phone...like 10 yrs ago allow sending pictures through SMS and this phone can't??
I like to see an option to categorize all the apps you installed.
I like to see improve battery management.
I like to see a better file manager...where you can access and see everything....including .root folder
And most importantly, i like to see a better map navigation app (it's really useless OVI map whatever it is...i never bother ..it's too slow and it's just not good enough. Bring something that rival that of Google map navigation. Something that makes it useful to help you find direction quick. I know Syngic is coming but it doesn't announceyou the street name like Google Map Nav does.

what you want most in the firmaware update
 

personally i would like the rebooting/power issues sorted out but as many dont have this problem i will not include it.

Re: what you want most in the firmaware update
 

It to work with modern 3 SIM cards so I can make phone calls without putting the SIM in my old phone.

Re: what you want most in the firmaware update
 

Well since i have no problems really with my n900 all i want is MSN messenger built in, yes im using a plugin but i want it built in still.
Also flash 10 would be nice :D

On a side note i do hope they fix the problems other people are having like rebooting etc.

Re: what you want most in the firmaware update
 

I'd like a real Call Log. e.g. if I've been playing phone tag, I want to see the timing of the calls back and fort. Or how many (at what intervals) calls from someone have I missed?

PS
<Shift><Rub> should map to <Delete>

Re: what you want most in the firmaware update
 

I think it will be a special update.

Re: what you want most in the firmaware update
 

exchange 2003 support in mfe

Re: what you want most in the firmaware update
 

Improve Ovi maps!

Re: what you want most in the firmaware update
 

First of all, copy and paste does not work consistently in all applications and in some places you have to get into edit mode.... Copy&Paste should work all over the place, it should be there all the time!!

MMS is something that i get a lot of and send so I would not complain about getting that.

Searching and sorting the notes app is also important (under calendar). I got a lot of notes and use it very much, together with Outlook.

those things disturb me most at the moment. Others are a plus :)

Kind regards

What do you think? Any ideas?

Re: What do you think the first Firmware update will bring?
 

These are likely regulatory limitations, likely not something they can play with even if they want to. BTW changing WiFi transmitted power (trasmitted power != power consumption) does not really improve battery life (if N8x0 experiences are anything to go by).
