Enhancment Requests to Nokia for future E90 firmware updates

1. Activate Camera via camera button

2. Able to selective turn on / off vibration for different alerts (eg on for voice call but off for emails)

3. Option of no camera sound (at least for Asia Pacific countries)

4. Charging via USB (or is this a hardware limitation)

5. Auto pull details from contact when name is keyed at the TO field of a new message (instead of having to click option > contact > ... )

6. Option of auto unlock keypad when plugged into USB. Since we will be chossing PC Sync or Data Transfer.



OT a bit - to add Blackberry Browser for Blackberry Connect. PLEASE !!!
what would you do if you weren't afraid?

Re: Enhancment Requests to Nokia for future E90 firmware updates

I think the list is a good idea, although first thing first should be FIX THE BUGS before enhancements! Anyone made a bugs list yet?

I only had my set for a couple of days so hadn't had time to realise what is missing... but add to the list would be:

1. Have more than 8 shortcut items on active desktop.
2. Have a bigger clock with settings so you could have it open as a night-table/desk clock.
3. Use the flash as a lantent.

Re: Enhancment Requests to Nokia for future E90 firmware updates

vmsoisa made a good and long summary list :
Software issues:
1. Missing fax
2. Missing keyboard shortcuts (most of them)
3. No scheduled SMS
4. Only basic computer
5. Browser cannot "Open a link in a new window"
6. Browser has no "Save picture as" function. Images can be saved only working through several menus.
7. Messaging cannot open several messages in the same time
8. E-mail does not display "To:", "Date:" and sender E-mail address (they can be found only in Message details)
9. SMS dows not show "Date:" and "Time" (they can be found only in Message details) - courtesy to dom_dom
10. Phone does not show the number of the caller, nor the number of the person I'm calling (only the name)
11. No advanced search fucntion for Contacts (search is available only for names, but not for company name, function, address, phone number, etc)
12. No options on "Back-up to memory card" function (cannot choose what to back-up)
13. Calendar does not show the "Number of years" for aniversaries
14. Strange multitasking (opening a document from File Manager will block File Manager until the document is closed, Messaging is unable to open more than one message at a time)
15. Mail / calendar software does not support .ics attachments - courtesy to finfactory
16. Problems with roaming in Russia - courtesy to creative376
17. Tab key adds 5 spaces instead of moving the cursor to the next field
18. No buffer for the keys pressed in advance
19. Voice recorder can only record 60 seconds (instead of 60 minutes on 9300i)
20. Internet browser does not allow selecting text in the web page (and further copy it to be used somewhere else) If you want to use a contact phone numebr form a web page, you have to write it down.
21. The auto-caps might be good for typing on the numeric keypad, but completely inadequate for the QWERTY keyboard. There is not way to turn it off.
22. Pressing a letter on 9300i would move the cursor to the first mailbox / folder / file etc. beginning with that letter (in Messaging or File Manager) This feature is not available on E90. The only choice left is to use the arrows until the desired mailbox / folder / file is reached. This could be a sub-chapter on the "missing shortcuts" issue.
23. "Notes" are not sincronized with Outlook - courtesy to zal_kindi
24. No "undo" function (Ctrl+Z) - maybe part of the "missing shortcuts" chapter, even though the whole system of traking changes seems to be misssing
25. When a call is initiated (and this might take several seconds, especialy when the network is not answering), the phone is unable to perform any other tasks. It is "locked" and not responding to any button. Once the other phone begins to ring, the phone "unlocks".
26. When the phone is locked (with security code), it does not show if there are any missing calls (icons). You have to unlock the phone from time to time to see if you have missed any calls.
27. When a call is made and the caller rejects the call (number busy) you get a call disconected message, hear the busy tone and the phone gets stuck in this mode for between 30~45 seconds. Can't do anything while this is happening - courtesy to jafores
28. When an application (Messaging, Web) is asking for the access point for connecting to Internet, the phone is unable to perform any other task. You either select an access point from the list or hit Cancel, otherwise you are stuck there.
29. Pictures received as E-mail attachments can only be saved to Gallery (either phone or memory cad), but not to a desired folder. If you want to put the pictures in some other folder, you have to use File Manager afterwards and move them from Gallery to the desired folder.
30. Messaging cannot display html messages, only the text in them. If you want to see an E-mail the way the sender wanted you to, you have to open the Attachment.html in web browser.
31. When you make a VoIP call, and then disconnect, the phone or the software does not realize the call is terminated and you remain connected to the VoIP server - courtesy of sapporobaby

Hardware issues:
1. Stiff keyboard
2. Keyboard is touching the screen, scratching and getting it dirty
3. Extremely slow GPS
4. Camera button hard to opperate
5. Pictures taken have a blue tint, especially in low light

If there are otehr issues to me menioned, please be my guest. I can't wait to make this list again after Nokia releases the first FW update. Maybe it will dissapear completely ;-)

jafores
32. No cut and paste of txt in SMS function unless its in forwarding mode.

33. phone practicaly freezes (wont do anything) when its in the process of sending or recieving a sms. ie cant go to contacts while phone is sending SMS to many front UI also slugish when phone os precessing something. even if its in the same function. ie composing new sms while phone is sending to many.


dom_dom
34. Problems with SMS. Not easy to get details DATE/TIME, ...
35. When receiving SMS with date or any number in it, it highlight these string, text becoming simply unreadable.
36. Font Size Management.
...
I've to recheck all the list... :smileywink:

Re: Enhancment Requests to Nokia for future E90 firmware updates

[ Edited ]
After having read the brilliant list of items missing in the present E90 Communicator which the Nokia developers MUST implement!!!

    PLEASE PLEASE someone bring this thread to there attention...


Thanks to vmsoisa, fores, tankee531 and dom_dom :-)

Some of the additions:
1). Improve the speaker phone quality when the cover is open.
2). Support for Animated Themes like in Sony Ericsson phones.
3). Support for Synchronizing with the new Windows Live Mail Beta Address Book.

I'm quite happy with the following (after flashing the latest firmware v7.24.0.3) Nevertheless, there's always room for improvment
1). Battery Life
2). Camera Quality

In addition it would be great if Nokia would have it's very own Address Book software for PC which has the exact details as the phone Contact List. I've lost many numbers during PC Sync with Windows Address Book and Outlook 2007.

Re: Enhancment Requests to Nokia for future E90 firmware updates

jibrell,

The quickest way to get this thread locked is to make it a repeat of another thread. Trust me, the mods are watching. You make good points but you miss the fact that there is no native fax capability in the E90 as it does not have a G3 capable modem inside. WIthout the modem, there can be no fax. This is a hardware issue, not software.

Re: Enhancment Requests to Nokia for future E90 firmware updates

dom_dom,

why do you go on about a fax when there is no modem in the device? What do you expect Nokia to do, have you bring your device in and have a modem put in? Come on and be realistic about this. Nokia did not make the software in the first place, they licensed it. The company that developed it no longer develops software for S60. This is not too hard to understand, or is it?

Having a fax is not a luxe and should be present.
If not considered as a bug or equivalent, it must be considered as "Nice to have ... back" :smileywink:

Re: Enhancment Requests to Nokia for future E90 firmware updates

Can you back this up with more info? Nokia has a new Communicator on the board and as GSM is coming up, it will probably be launched there. Are you saying Nokia will have 2 Communicators at the same time?

Not asking for a source but if you have info

Re: Enhancment Requests to Nokia for future E90 firmware updates

I think that would also important to have option in messaging to save(copy/move) some e-mails received in "My folders" (as it was in 9x00). Now there is impossible.

THE FOLLOWING IS THE UPDATED SOFTWARE & HARDWARE ISSUES LIST:

Software issues:
1. Missing fax
2. Missing keyboard shortcuts (most of them)
3. No scheduled SMS
4. Only basic computer
5. Browser cannot "Open a link in a new window"
6. Browser has no "Save picture as" function. Images can be saved only working through several menus.
7. Messaging cannot open several messages in the same time
8. E-mail does not display "To:", "Date:" and sender E-mail address (they can be found only in Message details)
9. SMS does not show "Date:" and "Time" (they can be found only in Message details)
10. Phone does not show the number of the caller, nor the number of the person I'm calling (only the name)
11. No advanced search function for Contacts (search is available only for names, but not for company name, function, address, phone number, etc)
12. No options on "Back-up to memory card" function (cannot choose what to back-up)
13. Calendar does not show the "Number of years" for anniversaries
14. Strange multitasking (opening a document from File Manager will block File Manager until the document is closed, Messaging is unable to open more than one message at a time)
15. Mail / calendar software does not support .ics attachments
16. Problems with roaming in Russia
17. Tab key adds 5 spaces instead of moving the cursor to the next field
18. No buffer for the keys pressed in advance
19. Voice recorder can only record 60 seconds (instead of 60 minutes on 9300i)
20. Internet browser does not allow selecting text in the web page (and further copy it to be used somewhere else) If you want to use a contact phone number form a web page, you have to write it down.
21. The auto-caps might be good for typing on the numeric keypad, but completely inadequate for the QWERTY keyboard. There is not way to turn it off.
22. Pressing a letter on 9300i would move the cursor to the first mailbox / folder / file etc. beginning with that letter (in Messaging or File Manager) This feature is not available on E90. The only choice left is to use the arrows until the desired mailbox / folder / file is reached. This could be a sub-chapter on the "missing shortcuts" issue.
23. "Notes" are not synchronized with Outlook.
24. No "undo" function (Ctrl+Z) - maybe part of the "missing shortcuts" chapter, even though the whole system of tracking changes seems to be missing.
25. When a call is initiated (and this might take several seconds, especially when the network is not answering), the phone is unable to perform any other tasks. It is "locked" and not responding to any button. Once the other phone begins to ring, the phone "unlocks".
26. When the phone is locked (with security code), it does not show if there are any missing calls (icons). You have to unlock the phone from time to time to see if you have missed any calls.
27. When a call is made and the caller rejects the call (number busy) you get a call disconnected message, hear the busy tone and the phone gets stuck in this mode for between 30~45 seconds. Can't do anything while this is happening.
28. When an application (Messaging, Web) is asking for the access point for connecting to Internet, the phone is unable to perform any other task. You either select an access point from the list or hit Cancel, otherwise you are stuck there.
29. Pictures received as E-mail attachments can only be saved to Gallery (either phone or memory cad), but not to a desired folder. If you want to put the pictures in some other folder, you have to use File Manager afterwards and move them from Gallery to the desired folder.
30. Messaging cannot display HTML messages, only the text in them. If you want to see an E-mail the way the sender wanted you to, you have to open the Attachment.html in web browser.
31. When you make a VoIP call, and then disconnect, the phone or the software does not realize the call is terminated and you remain connected to the VoIP server
32. No cut and paste of txt in SMS function unless its in forwarding mode.
33. phone practically freezes (wont do anything) when its in the process of sending or receiving a SMS. i.e. cant go to contacts while phone is sending SMS to many front UI also sluggish when phone os precessing something. even if its in the same function. i.e. composing new SMS while phone is sending to many.
34. Problems with SMS. Not easy to get details DATE/TIME, ...
35. When receiving SMS with date or any number in it, it highlight these string, text becoming simply unreadable.
36. Font Size Management.
37). Improve the speaker phone quality when the cover is open.
38). Support for Animated Themes like in Sony Ericsson phones.
39). Activate Camera via camera button
40). Able to selective turn on / off vibration for different alerts (eg on for voice call but off for emails)
41). Option of no camera sound (at least for Asia Pacific countries)
42). Charging via USB (or is this a hardware limitation)
43). Auto pull details from contact when name is keyed at the TO field of a new message (instead of having to click option > contact > ... )
44). Option of auto unlock keypad when plugged into USB. Since we will be choosing PC Sync or Data Transfer.

45). Journal hsitory limited to 30 days max
46). "Alarm" daily and "remind" use the same melody ! Not possible to assign one specific for "Alarm" and another for "reminders"
47). Not easy to unlock the phone with oe hand. Keys to unlock are not easy to find and time between pres is too short
48). Not easy to open the E90. There is no grip to make opening more easy.
49). Remind and/or alarm repeat every 5 minutes during 30 min max. This is NOT parametrable.
50). Looking for music, or photos takes a looong time before displaying the file list.
New
51). Bar code reader able to read stupid standard barcode (like magazine, book IDSN, ...

Hardware issues:
1. Stiff keyboard.
2. Keyboard is touching the screen, scratching and getting it dirty.
3. Extremely slow GPS.
