I have two simple wishes from the Mango devolopers)
1- Double tab to lock screen wake ( like MeeGo OS , nokia)
2- Different colours for the answer / call - end button's background ( maybe red or orange for END)
I know it is too late but I think these two makes my Focus very happy maybe in later updates.
Sadly, mango won't be enough to make me keep my focus. Trading it in for an Atrix tomorrow. I just need a real file system, more dev support, custom kernels, WiFi tether, a real maps app, no zune, and customization.

I used to have all of them ; ios, android, symbian ; yes when you had them you got all flexibility but I like the Winmo 7's simple , elegant and conservative design . They can easly add these kind of minor changes to the new firmwares. I hope one of the Microsoft's windows mobile 7 devoloper reading this forum
It's too late for Mango since it's already RTM, but there will be updates in the future, we can hope some of MS's developers browse these forums.
I really wish they would allow us to pin settings (e.g. WiFi, etc) to the home screen.
wifi tether guys..
1. A timer, to allow the locksreen to require a password after a set amount of time.
2. A way to change the SMS notification so it doesn't just display on the screen (maybe when the device needs a password to enter). Or make it so you change stop when certain programs are running, Ex. Netflix

Thanks, but isn't that the same option as before. That the Lockscreen comes on after a set amount of time? what I'm referring to, is for a timer to make needing a password activate.
EX. I lock my screen (turn the screen off) step away for like an hour, when I come back the password is required to acess the phone. So, basically a way to set the password for 60 minutes. *60 minutes is just an example*
****EDIT**** I see the option now after you enter a pw. Thanks for the help!!!
WiFi calling.
Sent from my HD7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
1. show two appointment in calendar tile.
2. create reccuring appoint on first tuesday of every month.
3. call duration in call list.
This whole Mango thing has turned out to be too little, too late, all features are just propaganda, first dont offer them and than add them as if you have improvised and added 500 features.
Battery Percentage on the title bar.
Disabling vibrator on Back, Home and Search buttons (Samsung Focus)
WiFi and 3G toggle, on the home screen perhaps ?

1. OH YES!
We need a notification centre, like swipe right from the homescreen to get it or something.

+1 to Wifi and 3g toggle. It'd be cool to toggle it based on your location as well, such as turn off wifi and turn on 3g when I leave certain areas.
1. Have a "Send SMS" option when ignoring calls. The old "I am unable to answer your call but will return it as soon as possible" text option available on WM6 and Android.
2. Make Bluetooth sound routing configurable. For instance, I don't want my Alarms going through my Bluetooth headset. I use this phone as an alarm clock when I travel an if I happen to leave my Bluetooth headset on at night the "Alarm" rings through the Bluetooth headset only. I am not wearing it while sleeping so I don't hear it.
3. Add more space between talk/end key and move them down away from the mute key. Way too much empty space below talk/end and they are crammed right up the mute key's butt. I have hung up many a call just trying to mute it.
4. Colorize the phone keypad. It is just blank outline and looks terrible. Worse looking keypad on any phone I have ever seen.
5. Make the icons at the top bar interactive, so when I tap the battery icon, I can see the percentage of battery left, or tap the wifi icon I can see where I am connected, etc.
6. Make the square tiles resizable, especially if they are not live tiles. I don't need such a huge icon for IE, Marketplace, Zune. I could condense these into the same space as one tile currently.
7. Make the ability to add sub tiles to a single tile. For instance have a double wide tile, let me add in all the messaging tiles, so I can have Outlook, text, hotmail, gmail, etc. notifications all on one double wide tile rather than take 5 normal tiles and the space these require.
8. Make a "Favorite People" tile on the home screen so I can list out 5 or 6 people in a single double wide tile. People I call every day. Reduce the space it takes to have favorite people on the homepage.
9. Make the default tiles interesting. All of the default tiles are just plain white text. really MS couldn't have made a better looking messaging or IE tile? Just looks plain and boring, not what I want on my phone's homescreen.
10. A mute option for sound. It only goes to vibrate, sometime I just need to be sure my phone is not going to vibrate or ring or make any noise whatsoever, and I cannot be sure of this with these volume controls. Also separate the phone volume from the system sound volume. Never should these be integrated.
11. Add the ability to synchronize contact info across platforms. Today i can "link" them on the phone, but if the phone gets the picture for a contact from Linkedin or Facebook, it doesn't actually update the contact in Outlook. It just links them on the phone. I want this same info synchronized across outlook, google voice, hotmail, etc. not just linked on the phone. WM6 did this.
12. Ability to see what mode wifi is operating in, maybe some speed details. Such as b/g/n, 48mbps, 120mbs, etc.
13. Make Bluetooth work with my Motorola carkit.
14. The ability to backup SMS.
15. The ability to forward SMS. Many things I want to forward, but can't.
16. The ability to delete a single SMS without deleting the whole conversation. Someone sends an inappropriate picture or text I want to delete just that text or forward that text, not the whole 6 months worth of conversation strings.
17. Autodownload images in email. Don't make me tap "Download images" every single time.
Enough requests for today....

8: Contact grouping is supported in mango, you can pin that group to your home screen. It is a single wide tile, though I don't think that makes much of a difference
15: I don't know that this is new in Mango, I thought we could do this along time ago?
16: This is in Mango
No. 16 is in Nodo too.. just tap and hold the single SMS in the whole convo which you want to delete and select delete from dropdown menu.. it will only delete that particular message and not the whole convo..
you are right, 15 and 16 are in Mango... scratch those.
As for 8, it places a single group box on the home screen, which then takes you to a sub group. I want the subgroup on the homescreen, just each item much smaller in a wide box. but the grouping is better than nothing for sure.
Additionally, I need to be able to get contacts from my Company Outlook Address Book. (GAL) I can only send email to individuals in my local Address book. I need to be able to pull up company contacts that are not in my address book also.

So you want the ability to click on a portion of the tile and for it to access the specific contact that you clicked on?
Hi,
So I recently got a sony SW2 at a firesale price, I've been trying a couple of notification apps - I was basically happy with Informer for my sms, whatsapp & email notifications but it was annoying that if I didn't notice my watch buzz at the time (eg I was riding along on my bike...) there was no visual indication that anything had happened as it dropped back to the clock face with no indication that notifications were waiting.
I've since been using the Augmented Smartwatch Pro trial, and it seems to do what I want - if I get a notification through it, instead of dropping the SW2 all the way back into it's official watchface, it runs in a low power mode showing it's custom watchface, and at the top I get a line with the latest notification (eg SMS from whoever). Once i've seen that I can then put the watch back fully to sleep with the power button (otherwise it seems like it might hammer the battery a bit more).
Unfortunately I'm not exactly wild about the Augmented Smartwatch Interface - it seems to want to do it's own thing which isn't very consistent with the smartwatch the rest of the time, and pretty ugly.
I'm just wondering if anyone is aware of/using any other apps that have similar features? All the ones I've seen seem to pop up notifications but then drop back to the sony watchface within a minute, which is less than ideal (I do a lot of bike riding and don't necessarily notice the watch vibrating when I'm riding, but will occasionally get the chance to glance at it!)
Cheers
There are a Sony widget with a counter for reiceived (not read) notification. So if you put the widget on your face you can see if you have unread notification.

Also with widget with 1 line for last notification and for the next event.

Hi all,
How can i stop whatspp messages from peeking when the screen is on ?
When the screen is locked , i am able to prevent messages from showing up on lock screen . However when the screen is on ( eg when i am doing some work ) , the whatspp messages peek on to the screen for a brief moment and the messages are visible. I wnat this to stop as sometimes the phone is being used by someone else and they get to see the messages .
The "do not disturb "mode or priority modes silence all other message notifications , hence are useless.
In short i want notifications of my whatspp messages but they should not peek on my screen when its on
Can you suggest a solution ?
Many thanks in advance

pull down notifcations bar, press and hold settings button for few seconds. new menu will be added to settings. go to it (system tuner) other, advanced notifications settings, rturn it on. go to settings, apps, whatsapp, notifications, choose the level you want (no peak would be level 4 I think).
Check out iobit applock. Its free and works great.

For whatever reason , i could not get the System tuner to be added to the settings menu. Holding the settings button did nothing . However i surfed the xda site and found out that by using adb command i could stop the peeking on my active screen.
Follow this thread for more details :https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/ui-tuner-nougat-t3547059 which says --
"System UI Tuner has the ability to set notification levels including disabling message previews however Samsung pulled it out in 7.0. The solution is this command and you don't have to be rooted:
Quote:
adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0
Find more info here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20...tuner-t3493986"
This has worked for me and i have no more peeking. I have samsung S7 with android 7.0.
Will try on Pixel now.
Thanks a lot for all the suggestions
For Now, i cannot make Level base Notification for Custom Applications like Whatsapp. Level Base notification available in built in Apps.

Hi, am new on this group.
I've purchased Vivo V9 a month back and I like this model. But, I am facing notifications issue in my Vivo V9.
Thing is, when I got notifications on Whatsapp, G-Mail, Missed Calls, Messages etc. so all of these notifications doesn't always shows up in the locked screen/notification tray etc. I am a freelancer and it's very important for me to keeping eye on my G-Mail, UpWork App (My Work Related App), Parallel Space (Using one useful clone app on this), Skype etc. But most of the times, I don't get any notifications on the locked screen even sometimes on the notification tray. I've checked with all the settings such as each app's notifications/permissions settings, general notification settings etc. everything. Even, restored my phone for two times. But, I always missed few of my important notifications. i.e. I've setup Whatsapp to show all the notifications one the locked screen, pop-up, notification tray etc. but whenever i got message on Whatsapp, it makes sound, popup appeared, showed in notification tray but doesn't show in locked screen.
Moreover, sometimes the notifications doesn't shows up even on a notifications tray.
I wanted to know that is somebody facing this kind of issue on this model? If so, what did you do to resolve this? Or, if someone has idea of all the possible reasons for this issue?
Thanks!
Hi there
Sometimes when I receive an email the notification will not show up on the phone, that is no sound and no led notification.
However as soon as I press the power button or unlock the screen the notification will pop up.
It is almost as if the device goes to sleep state when screen is turned off.
The emails that I miss at times due to this problem are time sensitive and really important for my work.
Such delays are at times resulting in direct monetary loss.
This was never an issue on my Galaxy Note 3 from which I have upgraded.
Can anyone of you guide and assist me as to which settings need to be changed to get it to work properly.
Many thanks for your time.
I have a simmilar issue here. Some notifications show up normally, like mail and facebook, but other apps only show notifications if i have they are opened.
It's like the system is forcing close those apps.

Still haven't found any solution.
Things I have tried :
1. Going to Power Master > Battery Mode > Balance
Thinking that in other modes it would kill background apps to save power.
2. Went to Power Master > Autostart Manager > Added apps I need notifications to start on system startup.
Apart from the mentioned problem, I see another one.
I opened What's app notification setting and turned Group Notifications off and Message notifications are set to show silently and minimize.
However the app itself changes the setting and forces messages on screen by itself over riding my changes. Have been happening since a long time now no matter how many times I change the settings.
Update if you can find any resolution.
