What do you want to see in the first firmware update?

Posted:
in iPhone edited January 2014
I was reading through a thread like this on another forum, and I figured it would be nice to see what people thought over here



For me:

MMS

Multiple recipient SMS

copy/paste

Different signatures for each email account

    Mail fixes; improved replying and bug fixes.



    Landscape keyboard in more apps.



    Chat support starting with AIM & Jabber. Maybe even Google.



    Some solution for copy/paste. Maybe tap and hold on selected text will bring up an edit box.



    Flash support.



    More widget like apps, like the unit converter, a movie time and location widget, yellow and white pages app.



    Games app that lets you download games from Apple and load them to your iPhone via iTunes.



    Better Bluetooth peripheral support.



    Exchange/Notes Support (including calendar and contacts).

    I just like to see a bit more stability when using Safari or Google Maps along with the iPod function. Mine jumps back to the home screen every once in a while.



    The ability to delete recent calls one at a time would be nice, too.

    Multiple SMS recipients.



    Canned SMS messages and an ability to add others (like the Treo).



    SMS Emoticons.



    MMS.



    Fandango widget.

    There are many things I want – but I do know, the more variables added to a system, the more chance for errors there are. With this said – this is the MINIMUM needed in my opinion



    1. Fix the Screen poka-dots , where ‘7 series’ screens have a grid of faint dots

    2. Basic Bluetooth support: Its pathetic reading on Apple and in OS X all the things Bluetooth can do with cell phones, but Apples own cell phone, basically cripples it.

    3. Copy, paste and link forwarding in email.

    4. Creation of rich email….come on, the last time I used email like this was AOL in 2000.

    5. Sundry bug fixes (e.g. browser crashs)

    Landscape Keyboard

    Instant Messaging



    The following requests I'm not sure would be a firmware fix or if can only be remedied via new hardware:



    Louder speaker......I miss phone calls frequently. The external speaker is plenty loud enough for iPod playback but I can barely hear the phone ring and/or callers via the speaker.



    Voice Dial.........I mean, this IS 2007......right?

    Isn't it already possible after changing the setting?



    Although why anyone would want it is beyond me.

    No new hardware needed for these, all are software/firmware fixable.

    Here is my list of improvement suggestions



    1. The ability to delete and clear individul recent phone calls

    2. The To Do list is critical for business

    3. A "Find" feature for contacts instead of constant scrolls

    4. Better Bluetooth Features

    5. Louder Ringing - I cannot hear it in loud places and I miss calls.. (Frustrating)

    6. Allow Ringtones from Itunes

    7. Landscape ability on all features.



    I love the phone but several improvements are needed.

    Oh yeah, Video Recording option, copy/paste, iChat, and freakin mp3s as ringtones. Or even songs that we've purchased from iTunes.

    MacInTouch said it can do WPA and WPA2. Can they do it but w/ issues or can they not? I don't encrypt since signal stealing is not an issue for me (live in the middle of a quarter section surrounded by trees)

    Did you not get the memo - Steve has given us a sweet solution that relegates SDK's to the trash-bin of history.

    Bug fixes



    Ability to see track / podcast info



    Preference to NOT have podcasts show up in album lists



    (including coverflow - it looks stupid seeing the amateurish or non-existent cover art of a podcast right next to a classic album cover)



    Todos in Calendar



    Notes syncing to *somewhere* (though I suspect they're keeping this for Leopard's Mail)



    Ability to add photo from a web page to Photos



    Multi-delete ability in Mail

    I've got my iPhone working with WPA both at my house and my business

    I do, but I seem to recall that the phone corrects them to all caps.



    Things like LOL or RFID or CIA or FBI or NSA or FEMA.

    Actually, only FEMA is an acronym. The rest of the terms listed (e.g. FBI) are initialisms.
