[Windows Phone 7 General] Nimac91:
The BIG List: Improving the Windows Phone 7 Platform

Okay guys I've made a giant list of missing features in Mango, I actually tried to send it to Microsoft but I didn't succeed, so... I hope I could be of any help. I noticed there where a small few which actually already where supported but I'm not sure which one those where anymore.

I recommend you guys opening my attached PDF or Docx file which is a lot easier to read than the plane text.

Here's The list:

Improving the Windows Phone 7 Platform:

Real Multitasking (Apps don't close if you've opened more than 4 or 5 things every time, and not just a back to the past)

Sound Notification in Me Tile

A clearer Twitter Feed with smaller text and pictures

Album/FB/TW Pictures in scroll

Custom Ringtones/Messages

Call and message hub fused

Smart Dialing

Call History (More information like call duration)

Vibrate + Ring instead of Vibrate than Ring

Ability to change Keyboard like Swype!

Microsoft TellMe! In more than just a few languages. There are more countries than UK and USA who are waiting for features!

PrintScreen!

3rd Part integration in the Messaging and people and me hub's! Like Whatsapp and different social networks like Hyves.

Change logs in Marketplace and in all updates!

Make better use of all the black outlines around start screen like under the arrow.(Shortcuts?)

Add more gestures to Windows Phone and in Internet Explorer!

Simple Movie maker for easy video editing also a photo editor would be nice

Better SkyDrive integration and more options like editing and a separate app to make things easier. SkyDrive manager.

HIGHER RESOLUTIONS! No restrictions to Resolution sizes!(Look how fast android has grown since apple started the resolution/PPI war with the retina display)

Allow downloads from internet (.MP3, Photo's, and video's to sd/internal memory)

Live (lock screen) wallpaper or 3D with the help of gyroscope

Wallpaper in start screen with editable tiles and hub's (Sizes, color and tile background transparency)

Recharging while phones turned off

Alarm Wake Up phone

"Find on page (ala ctrl+F)" in internet explorer

Show multiple events in calendar and lock screen

Me tile notifications in lock screen

Sms Delivery notification

Allow (micro)SD cards without fusing it with WP7 system data.

File Explorer for SD card and ability to open video's, picture’s or audio files from it.

Huge Update to Bing Maps with real turn by turn navigation without the dangerous tapping on screen and public transport and street view and live traffic even tough that takes a lot time it's very much needed since Google maps is already supporting all those.

Ability to make folders

App list should get another row since a huge amount of apps makes scrolling a real pain without the alphabetic sorting.

Ability to make text and boxes smaller in people/music/app and feed lists. You can't really see a lot even on bigger screens.

Music Hub tracks list should have pictures next to song names like HTC always does in Android with sense

Create and edit playlists in music hub?

Integration with Windows Media Player.(WMP to WP7 syncing)

Bookmark and setting sync in internet explorer with all devices

Ability to pay with “Ideal” (Netherlands) instead of credit card.

Set track as ringtone in WP7 (Full song ringtone, not 40 seconds just like Android does allow it)

Dialer shortcut in people hub and People hub shortcut in Dialer.(I prefer fusing the 2 hub's together with smart dial added!)

Week numbers in calendar and a full month calendar view with readable events and zooming in and out without going to an animation every time (Pinch to zoom?)

Adding artist images to Zune and album art cover in lock screen also for local music for people without Zune pass and auto ALBUMCOVER finder.

Zune pas for family instead just one person.

Download free Xbox live games with gold account?(Just a tip for encouraging people to get Xbox live gold.)

YOUTUBE!!! I know this one's on Google but we are still missing a real YouTube app which works fast and HTML 5 is not an option for people.

NFC since it's coming to all phones within these few years

ABILITY TO CHANGE SNOOZE TIMES AND CONTINUOUSLY EXTENDING YOUR SNOOZING TILL I SAY STOP. Normally after 30 minutes my phones suddenly doesn't snooze me anymore which can create major problems for falling asleep.

Dynamic lock screen wallpaper like in Windows 7 on desktop.

Ability to choose main pictures on picture hub tiles.

Much more Landscape support. Specially for people with horizontal slide out keyboards (or change WP7 requirements to only have horizontal keyboards if must(DELL Venue Pro).

Portrait/Landscape lock (Holding back button than pressing like a small icon?)

Adding a contact after dialing their phone number in phone hub instead of going to people hub first.

Data Usage meter ala lice Ice Cream Sandwich for Android.

Buying apps with Microsoft points for people with no credit card!

Drag and drop in things like SkyDrive and picture hub

SMS draft save

Bluetooth file manager

Ability to easily make your e-mail account an Live-ID

Transferring documents from PC without using SkyDrive

Big Clock live tile(Make this one a hub which has Alarms and timers and maybe even weather, just like HTC did in Android clock app/alarm

Star and flag e-mail in all e-mail accounts (hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo)

Allow the alarm to keep ringing in vibrate mode.

Separate volume settings for alarms!(I always forget to put my volume up when I go to sleep.)

Forward button in Internet Explorer!

Ability to select multiple pictures to delete. Also a strip watching more than one picture in landscape would certainly be nice.

More ringer profiles for ring volume and connectivity

INPROVING ZUNE FOR WINDOWS DESKTOP VERY MUCH NEEDED! Compared to iTunes and the newly introduces Google music, Zune is the weakest link which should change. We need more settings, more options, less restrictions and more features to enjoy our music to the fullest.

Deleting in Hotmail and Gmail also deletes from web.

More advanced contact details and integration with Bing maps(Bing shows all the homes of your friends in the map screen with pins) and 3rd party apps like Whatsapp.

Google maps latitude in Bing maps(We want one standard in this one, making a Bing latitude would mess the system and keep Android and iOS users separated from WP7 users.

I know Google maps is probably not an option, but having the official Google maps app would make the system far better.

Flickr and Picasa integration in Picture hub

Sorting options in picture hub

Facebook lists as group

GROUPS SHOULD BE BIGGER THAN 20 PEOPLE MAX

Texting more than 160 characters max

ALL 3RD PARTY NOTIFICATIONS SHOULD ALSO COME IN ONE PLACE, LIKE THE ME HUB?, OR MAKE AN ANDROID/IOS5 LOOK A LIKE NOTIFICATION BAR!

Ability to Keep 3rd party apps like twitter clients and messaging apps like Whatsapp open at all times. We need do get notifications the instant someone notifies us, not 2 hours late!

Messaging count in contact tile cards.

Ask for save as contact after conversation with unknown phone number and show call durations.

Time Profile, ability to set automatic volume/profile/connections change after a specific time(Auto vibrate mode in the night, or event specified time profiles).

Bing (Local) + Voice worldwide

Bookmark places in Bing maps(Where is my car bookmarking’s).

Option to have network icons always displayed on screen

Equalizer in Zune

If music player has not been used for a while, disable play and next buttons in volume bar(Or ability to close music player).

Give windows Phone 7 partners(HTC, Samsung, Nokia, etc...) more options to edit WP7 Like Sense, Touch Wiz adding a restyled music player or picture hub or other OS edits, most of the time it comes out very positively and makes the WP7 a more competitive platform even internal between the WP7 partners.

Support for Facebook "like" in posts and showing news feeds which normally can only be seen in the browser.

More languages and symbolic characters like Farsi and Arabic language.

Time and date's with all notifications and messages.

A clear application manager for deleting or editing apps or seeing information like storage space taken.

Much more customizations for settings, for hubs, for apps.

Copy paste options in dialer

Skype + Video Call integrated in OS(I'm guessing this one's on the way)

Option to set default for naming contacts when multiple accounts are fused(Facebook, Hotmail, Gmail contacts mixed with each other.

Nokia Drive should not stop working when being called, voice commands should go on when on start screen or multi-tasking. This should also be available for 3rd Party apps. Music and voice commands when outside app or in a call.

Last but not least: Here's a great Example for notification center in WP7!
