[Windows Phone 8 General] m_carleone82:
1-	Windows Phone 8 Lackings

a)	Items that Must be in a Mobile OS which Windows Phone Missing

•	Call duration information is not exist in OS (I still can't believe)

•	There is No Notification center. If you miss it to see. You miss it.

•	Folderizing those bunch list of application list cannot be scrolled faster. And I believe it should have been foldered.

•	Photos doesn’t have custom folders. It supposed to be added for customization and also a security key would be good.

•	There is no Sound profiles center you need to close vibrating in a long way from settings/sounds.

•	Google apps are missing including YouTube at all. No Google apps is something really to be sad.

•	Percentage for battery level is not exist natively.

•	GPS toggle does not exist so location finding is not working in airplane mod. GPS doesn't work even if you downloaded offline maps and turned wifi on. You need to have cellular signal to make GPS on. So definitely GPS toggle must be build.

•	Location center should be letting user to choose which application can use which not.. It is just one option to be on n off..

And somehow periodically I see location icon on top even those map and location background are fully limited, and I can't see what application is currently using my location. And this makes me feel phone is going against my privacy.

•	When theme color is changed, OS based native tiles is changing color instantly but the Tiles that have been created by applications, doesn't change color unless being run once. And you need to open all those apps to update new theme color.

•	Skype is fully buggy that doesn't let video chat. Neither doesn't work in background fully online. Cannot call online iphone users etc.. It may not be considered as developed application.

•	Whatsapp is buggy. Developer said that it’s because of windows platform and porting issues. If you lock screen in whatsapp there won't be any new notification, you need to check it manual. This is so annoying. So after you write you need to leave application. And lock phone to receive notifications. Also It can't send any picture from screen shots. Additional when you return back to application it always needs to be loaded and makes you waited 3 seconds every time which is a huge time that being wasted.

•	Cannot close applications. Windows Phone OS cannot close any application. You need to hammer back button 15 times to resume beginning. But somehow also it’s not enough in some cases. There are some apps that asks to be exit and needs confirmations. Some apps directly being closed , some apps goes back inside its navigation like IE n Flickr until start page and then being closed. So Windows phone does not have ability to close app in one standard way.

•	In the messaging and, email There is no “Select all option” ... :( u need to select one by one each mail or message to erase

•	I don't know outside my country but in computer when I open find my phone service that never works. It doesn't work at all. Even it is turned on settings. Nokia asked me to ask it Microsoft. And Microsoft didn't reply me. I think for some countries location services doesn't work. In Turkey it does not work.

•	Phone alarm should have been working even phone is turned off.

•	Text writing should have undo with shaking, sometimes when using shortcut words over keyboard if you press wrong word u cannot go back and fix it so need to re write all. Shake left should make undo which is not exist currently..

•	Phone storage does not show you size of application music and pictures. Just there is one cumulative bar which is so useless to show overall instead of separating each kind.

•	Where I spend the battery? U won’t know where. This should be adapted because there are lots of people discussing it in forums that battery levels are normal if not for what reason. And since it is new OS and we all end users are behaved like testers, we need to make, things certain.

•	Wi-Fi saved passwords or rest of other password doesn't being seen again even there is a thick that says “show password”. There is this option but completely in functional and doesn’t let you to see passwords.

•	3rd party music or video downloader apps makes its work. But those downloaded music’s are not being able to reach from native music applications. It just stays in the 3rd party applications library and can be reach from it. Native windows music player should have been reach all mp3 which is downloaded.

•	Rotation option doesn't exist. It is mandatory to be rotated if u hold it horizontally. And it makes phone so un stable in bed when writing. That is so annoying that phone doesn't has this option. It is mandatory to use it vertical.

•	When typing text in a text box, there is no standard to how to hide keyboard. Every app works different. You cannot say a certain way to hide keyboard, and scroll to see what has been written. Also scrolling doesn't have a standard way either. Also, Text assisting, words are appearing in some apps, but not appearing in some. It doesn’t have standard too. There should have been one way for everything!

•	Physical search button should be configured to run a search application which can be change into Google yahoo etc.. Also search button same time should have been looking email contents and apps

•	Random reboots. I can't believe that happens almost every 3 days once and it has been reported more often, with some series..

b)	Optional Additions

•	There is no Instagram

•	Multitasking gestures

•	Unable to find enough local apps for turkey,

•	Dropbox would be nice addition

•	Lock button and keyboard click sound is bad for me. Should be personalized

•	Even it has graphics card, which game, exist to use it. We almost don't have a nice 3d game, to be impressed with graphics.

•	There is no live tile that shows clock, and date same as HTC does. Also it would be good if native clock app live tile enhanced including selected city times rotating in tile.

•	Since start menu is customizable with a theme color , all applications must have been force a icon color weather is native or theme color and user should pick it up how to be.

•	Screen brightness is just tree Level doesn't let to make a fine setting. And long way to reach from settings,menu.

•	People hub tile should be have an option to show people profile pics or not. Sometimes in formal situations, on the phone stupid profile pics makes me shame.. Also favorite persons should,be included. I don't,want to see some,of ppl there,and I don't,get in,what logic ppl hub selects those ppl

•	There is Turkish language support,

There is Turkish keyboard

There is Turkish keyboard assistant

But there, is no voice command for, Turkish language. Downloadable content for languages is just a few. This technology is not completed for many.

Not only voice command but also

Bing search doesn't exist on my native language.
