Please improve S40 Asha OS

Hi!

I would like to list down some things that [B]S40 Asha[/B] lacks:

- No Document Reader
- Low RAM
- No Flash Lite
- No Copy and Paste

Please improve the new OS in the next software update (if there's any).
Thanks! :)

Low RAM = hardware related, and not something "lacking" in Series 40, and not something a next software update can address (unless it can simultaneously add fixes and features while simultaneously shrink dramatically freeing up more memory that the earlier version consumed).

Flash Lite = Adobe has stopped Flash Lite development, so Nokia is not going to include it on new phones, I suspect.

The best place to discuss feature requirements are the Nokia product discussion boards, which are linked from [URL="http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Discussion/showthread.php?128740-Phone-user-s-problems"]here[/URL].

The Asha 311 needs the following. Can you add these (if not all, some of it) to the device?

-Task manager
-HD video playback
-A homescreen like in Nokia Belle
-Landscape mode notification bar
-A complete notification bar like in Nokia Belle

This is just a suggestion. The Asha 311 is the flagship of the Asha family, so it should possess nice specs.

Thanks! :)

[url]http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Discussion/showthread.php?128740-Phone-user-s-problems[/url] was the suggestion in your other thread. If you had checked that, I believe this post of yours also comes in that catagory. Hope that helps :)

The threads are merged now. Phone/device features are discussed on [url]http://discussions.nokia.com[/url]

The Asha 311 needs the following. Can you add these (if not all, some of it) to the device through the next firmware update?

-Task manager like in Belle (so there won't be any need to close an app to go to another)
-HD video playback (720p)
-Landscape mode notification bar (when the phone is in landscape mode, the notification bar can't be accessed)

This is just a suggestion. The Asha 311 is the flagship of the Asha family and a smartphone, so it should possess nice specs like the ones above.

Thanks! :)

Hello again lumasha,

Please review the responses above before posting fresh suggestions. You would save a lot of your time ;)

Good Luck!!

My concern here is the Asha 311. The UI is MeeGo-based, right? Then can you add a task manager like the one in N9 where a swipe away will take you to your running applications. Maybe you can replace the Dialler/Music/Radio homescreen with the task manager of MeeGo. Then, swiping between homescreens is enabled for multitasking. I chose 311 because it has higher RAM (128 MB) than the other Ashas. Please add multitasking.

Thanks! :)

As stated above this is not the right forum to post what you wish to have in a device. Also please don't compare it with high end phones like N9. Asha series is targeted to a different audience.

While Nokia maintains a similar visual style across its devices (except for the Windows Phone ones), Asha devices have absolutely nothing to do with Meego and the N9. A task manager is not really related to the UI anyway. First of all it requires the OS to handle multiple user tasks at the same time. I am not sure if it happens on Series 40 (but I have to admit I have no experience with Asha devices). If there are no multiple tasks, there is nothing to switch between.
