Feature Request - Safari Dimmer

Did not see any other place to make a feature request, so here goes:
Recently I installed a DivX player on a WinXP system as was pleasantly surprised with the "Desktop Dimmer" (apparently also available for OSX). It seems that though this functionality is currently a function of the player, it may be possible for Safari to detect that a particular video player plugin is active and streaming and perform the same function for all formats.
This would tie in nicely with the annoying behaviour on my MBP to dimm the screen after a minute or so of inactivity which can't be controlled from the Power management or Screen controlls in System Manager. Argh.
If I'm trying to stream an hour long motorcycle race, I don't want to have to keep moving my mouse to brighten up the screen. And it absolutely MUST be dimmed, then at least leave the streaming part alone.

This is a perfectly good place to post this. There is also at least one other place to give Apple feedback (including feature requests) about their Mac OS X applications: the Mac OS X feedback form. (You will not receive a response by filling out that form, but the feedback is channeled to the people who can best use it.)
This would tie in nicely with the annoying behaviour on my MBP to dimm the screen after a minute or so of inactivity which can't be controlled from the Power management or Screen controlls in System Manager. Argh.
Raising the time before display sleep in the "Sleep" section of Energy Saver settings, making sure that's changed for both the Power Adapter and Battery settings, doesn't do the trick? (It might not, always - just checking. :-))

Display xml documents - how to submit a feature request?

Safari is useless when it comes to render raw xml documents. You have to view the actual source to see the xml.
Is there an official way to submit a feature request for safari to apple? I would love to see something similar to what firefox does with xml. Safari is such a fast and nice browser, if it only could handle text/xml better...

As you said Safari simply shows all xml element content concatenated together. But no tags or attribute values. If the ContentType in the http header is set to text/xml Firefox shows an xml tree that you can nicely browse. I think IE5+ and Opera do that too. It is important to set the right content type though. Here is an example that shows nice in FF, but is unreadable in Safari:
http://ww3.bgbm.org/biocase/pywrapper.cgi?dsa=Herbar
Sure you can look at the source code, but the xml might not be pretty printed.

Feature request: Print function in Web Inspector

Safari's web inspector rocks. It would be neat, though, if you could print the element you've selected. Sometimes I don't want to print an entire page, just a portion, and the Web Inspector seems like an appropriate way to specify which element to print.
Although, Safari on the iPhone has some way of guessing which element to zoom in on when the user taps a part of the web page. I suppose there are many ways to do this.

Nice idea, but this user-to-user forum is not the place for Safari feature requests. Try here instead:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
FYI, you can also do a selected area screen capture (command-shift-4 then click-drag-release) and print that from Preview.

Multiple Imperative Feature Requests

I am a MN Photographer and have been using PS Lightroom through 2 betas and 2 release versions. I have been amazed at the improvements Adobe has added, but from my point of view, they need to add a few more features to make LR more robust and efficient!
I love the way LR makes terrific web galleries!
I am running LR from a Seagate Barracuda 300 External Hard Drive with Firewire connection. I am using a Mac Powerbook (1GHz Processor) with 60GB HD and 55% free, w/ 2GB DRAM, and an Apple Cinema Display. I can't complain about slow downs, but keep my permissions tuned once a week, both on the Mac PB and all EHDs.
LIGHTROOM FEATURE REQUESTS
1. From the Web module, there is only one option for adding Copyright Info to images in the Web Galleries, either ON or OFF. It would be a great addition to have this option variable by type size, type placement on images, and opacity. I last generated a web gallery and some of the images said, "2007 Alex Bachnick All Rights Reserved," but many of the images said, "Alex Bachnick All Rights Reserved," without a year. A few images said, "Copyright 2007 Alex Bachnick All Rights Reserved," like it is supposed to! The LR application has been inconsistent so far in this area. By adding a line of copy that can be saved, and by varying the opacity and placement on images would be a huge step forward!
2. It is IMPERATIVE that you embed metadata into the Web gallery images. This is primarily for adding keywords and copyright information, but LR is inconsistent so far. Sometimes metadata is preserved, but it doesn't always get embedded when exporting images.
3. When I generated a Flash Web Gallery, some of the color was good, some of it was terrible. I have suggested before that you write into the action that takes the original image, reduces it in size, then convert to profile from Prophoto to sRGB. I suspect that you have a script in there "Save for Web". This script is denigrating the color when Convert to Profile would preserve the color. Admittedly Safari is the primary web browser I use, and it's color-centric, whereas most of the others IE, Netscape, and Mozilla, aren't.
4. When I use HTML for the web galleries, the color is spot on, but a young friend told me it would be better to hit one button to go through the images as in a rapidly advancing slide show, rather than hitting each image, and then wait for it to enlarge. This could be another marked improvement, if you made the output a slideshow from the Web Module.
5. I tried generating a slideshow from the Lightroom menu, and had about 200 images in a collection. The application went through the motions, but I tried opening the slideshow but it didn't work. I tried it in PDF format and it output a 135MB file that ADobe Acrobat couldn't open. It is still not working. I have also used a third party application Photo to Movie (www.LQGraphics.com). This is a $50 application that you can add music to and vary the zooms and dissolves and this works incredibly well!!!
6. One of my biggest problems so far is the sort mechanism. I have about 9500 images in my library, and about 5% of those were made from about 2004 and on. My images are sorted by "capture time," but the images shot back in CY 2004--2005 are mixed in somewhere way down in the pile. There are some bugs in the program for reading the capture time, and so far this is not working accurately!
7. From the Lightroom Library module, several times I have exported images for 3rd party needs and the application puts out varying results. In March I output some images for Communication Arts magazine. They specified file size and format, and it took me several times to export the images to their specifications. I recently exported some images for submission to a UK based stock photography agent. The images came from 5 different cameras~~Hasselblad w/ Imacon Digital Back, Kodak DCS-14, Canon 1ds MkII, and Canon D-20. There were 10 images that needed to be output as JPEGs (

1. LR uses what was written in the copyright field so it's your data entry that is inconsistent.
2. Are you 100% certain this is not working reliably under 1.1? It definitely wasn't working at all under 1.0 and Adobe responded to complaints. Since 1.1, I've taken large numbers of Web-generated pictures into iView and not found any cases where the metadata was missing. "Sometimes" is too vague. How exactly can you prove it? What programs prove it?
3. Not sure, but isn't this a problem because of Flash? Also the browser you use is not important - it's the browser that your visitor uses that you need to focus on.
4. Realistically, Flash is better for this. You can always get someone to write/modify HTML templates to do such a slideshow, but the built-in templates are already very complex and this suggestion would add another layer of browser incompatibility.
7. This isn't a feature request. Raise this in the main forum - and be specific (your post was also too long and got truncated). How can anyone help you if you say "varying results"? It's unlikely that any variation is random.

Feature request: keyword search like Google Toolbar

One of the features (well, the ONLY feature) that keeps me from using Safari as my default browser is a feature I get through Google's Toolbar.
After you type in keywords for a search in Google's toolbar. You can click on the word (in the right area) and it will automatically find the next occurrence of that word on the page. (You can alternatively clock on the "highlighter" icon and it will highlight any words in your search). You can find any individual word.
Safari's feature to do this, as far as I can tell, is far less useful. After you type in some keywords. You can click on the magnifying glass and at the bottom, it has the ability to search for the keyword OR phrase, depending on how you search.
Google's Toolbar feature is amazingly productive -- and useful. I can't figure out why none of the browsers have picked up on this feature.
(If someone knows a way to do this with Safari, I'd appreciate it).
Thank you.

Thank you very much for the responses. I spent forever trying to find the feature request area in support, but failed. Perhaps it would have bitten me.... Thanks for the pointer...
As for this capability, there's no reason why a browser couldn't support this feature -- doesn't matter that Google did it in a toolbar. And, in fact, if you click on the magnifying glass in the search box, it does allow you to search within the current page for what you searched for (though it's limited only to the "phrase"). It's at the bottom... You have to have words in the search box to see this.
I'll make the suggestion directly to Apple.
To anyone who hasn't used this capability -- it's really powerful. That said, you need the Google Toolbar which is only supported on Firefox, not Safari (on the Mac platform).

A feature request for more accepted navigation keystrokes.

On Mac, the standard buttons for forward and backward navigation seem to be Command+{ and Command+]. Safari accepts this as well as Command+arrows.
Finder accepts only the first; bridge accepts only the second.
This is only a small feature request. To make navigation simpler, I would like to see Bridge accept other navigation keystrokes, like Safari. It would be so much better for people using global commands like mouse back and forward buttons.
I hope Adobe likes to read this stuff once in a while! Thank you and you and you for reading.

Feature Request - Find in Textarea boxes

Not sure if this is the appropriate place to post a feature request, but one feature of Internet Explorer that I really miss is the ability to "Find" text within the textareas of a form on a web page. I work on a lot of Yahoo Stores and this is pretty much a required feature to be productive within their "Store Editor" web application.
I can understand how that feature might be annoying in some instances, so maybe if there was a little checkbox that said "search within form fields" that was not checked by default, but was remembered from search-to-search that would work well.

Hello,
Thanks very much for your response and for the Apple Feedback URL.
I am referring to the command-F (inline Find) feature, but requesting that it search within both the HTML content on the page and within the form field contents of any forms on a page. So, if there is a form embedded on the page, it would be nice if command-F has the ability to include that text within the search. Currently, Safari only searches the HTML content of the page and does not search text within form fields on the page.
Sorry if I'm not describing the functionality well. Does this explanation make more sense?

Feature Request: use volume rocker for brightness

I find myself wishing I could adjust the screen brightness quickly using the rocker switch currently dedicated to volume. I seldom have need to adjust the volume, and if I did, it would also be helpful is that function could just be part of the open app, leaving the rocker switch to quickly adjust to changing light settings. (the auto brightness basically seems to have two settings: regular and slightly dimmer than regular)

Welcome to the forums, Tyrade. One of the first things to know is that we're all users here, just like yourself. While you may have a well-thought out feature request, posting it here goes nowhere.
Submit feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iPad.html.
Thanks.

A few Feature Requests for Leopard

Apple, I have a few feature requests that I would like to see added into Leopard ASAP and I am sure there are a few other here that I am missing (Please feel free to contribute to this thread).
SPACES - I want to have a different desktop picture for each "space" I create. I would also like to be able to use a combination of hotkeys to bring spaces into view and not just a single "F" key.
STACKS- This is a cool feature but would be even cooler if you could use the contextual menu on items within a stack to delete them without opening the enclosing folder.
FINDER- I would like to see the preference "Save view preferences for this window only" brought back. Some finder windows I like to view in list mode, others in column view.
TIME MACHINE - I would like an "Advanced Options" tab that would allow me to schedule my backups other than an incremental every hour. During the day when I am not at my home computer I do not need Time Machine to back up my drive every hour but perhaps every four hours. Then, when I am back at home, during certain hours I wouldn't mind its out of the box configuration.
SAFARI- A feature Safari has been constantly lacking is the ability to close the downloads window when a download completes. Another feature would be the saving of the last workspace so that when I quit and re-launch Safari I could start exactly where I left off. Now, there are third party applications which add this functionality but I would like to see it built-in by default.
These are a few things that I have found thus far that I would like to see fixed in an update to Leopard. Otherwise I would say I am very impressed with Leopard and will be recommending it to all my friends, family, and coworkers.

Actually, you need to put this on the "Feedback to Apple" on Apple's web site--it won't get to them here. This is just a user to user forum.

Feature request: horizontal mouse scroll

Hi,
I would like to submit the following feature request:
please improve the emulated mouse in Windows guests in VMware Fusion so that it can handle horizontal scrolling made available by mice with a "tilt wheel" (such as those from Logitech, Microsoft and the Apple magic mouse). Currently, it only supports vertical scrolling.
Thank you!

Feature request: transplanting architectural state into OpenSPARC

Hi All,
This is a follow-up from our conversation at FCRC/ISCA last week.
I have a feature request for the OpenSPARC RTL, and potentially the FPGA model, which would help researchers experiment with real workloads on OpenSPARC:
I would like to see a process for transplanting checkpointed architectural state of a booted and running T1000/T2000 system (arch. registers, MMU, and memory values) into the OpenSPARC RTL model.
Ideally, this would happen over a socket so the transplant doesn't depend on a particular full-system simulator (e.g., we use Simics/Niagara at CMU, but I expect that many people would like to interface with SAM).
I attempted this on my own a few months ago, with limited success. I wrote Verilog PLI/socket code that 1. slams many of the architectural registers and MMU and 2. replaces the interface in dimm.v with socket calls to a remote Simics instance (non-trivial code, has to reconstruct the phys addr and ECC bits to work properly). Much of this actually worked. I was not, however, able to redirect the core's PC to a new location and properly initiate an i-cache miss.
Perhaps someone with a better understanding of the fetch/thread select stages knows the right combination of registers, valid bits, fetch/miss queue entries could make this work...
Brainstorm:
An alternative approach (which avoids many, but not all, dependencies on the specific RTL revision and is arguably superior to my first approach) might be to write a hyper-privileged "context switch" ASM routine to load architectural state and get the processor boostrapped at a new PC.
This program could be like the usual validation test program, except it loads registers/MMU state from the hijacked DRAM model. Once these values have been loaded into the core, the caches can be invalidated to remove these temporary values (trivial with PLI code), and the full-system memory image can be enabled in the DRAM model.
I can make my code available, if desired.
Thanks!
Jared

Hi Jared,
Thanks for following up on this.
There could be wider interesting in this work and we feel that it makes a very good OpenSPARC based community project that can be hosted on opensparc.net.
If you are interested in contributing the code and taking it forward then we can get it hosted and have right people from Sun help you in making it a successsful one.
I will send you separate email on this topic.
Thank You.

Feature Requests for BlackBerry10 OS

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This thread has been closed and is continued in this new thread here:
Feature Requests beyond BlackBerry OS10.3.1
Please click on that link.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Let's use this thread to list BlackBerry10 OS feature requests. There's nothing official to this thread, but one never knows who might view it and get an idea or two to move foward.
Please let's keep it to feature requests with simple short statements and comments, in this manner:
1. Ability to lock the volume keys (since they are so easliy pressed when retrieving from holster)
2. Personal distribution groups Address Book
4. Add BBM Group icon to home screen
**This thread is not for bug reports (i.e., the calendar glitches when I set the date) or for debate or discussion of the worthiness of a feature request.
So, what would YOU add to BB10?
What do YOU need to make the OS platform work better for you?
Here are the collected feature requests as of 04 April 2013. Thanks for Ride_The_Sky for helping collect these from this thread.

Being able to see multiple pictures from an email by swiping left and right to see next/previous without having to reopen (I must say the same thing is needed for App World, why can't we just scroll through screenshots??)
Multiple flags or ability to set a flag date, associate with a reminder.
Move people from TO to CC or BCC easily (If I may add, also ability to backspace to delete a contact without having to tap the X in blue box).
Option to add favorites to Hub for easy to reach contact management (I think it is same as going to contacts and choosing Favs)
Being able to answer and make calls when the phone is locked.
Add more colors to LED notification (I think they are there now, orange, green, red so far, did not see blue, I don't think blue is needed in my opinion)
Change the way to add date and time for appointment, rollbar is too slow and too sensitive.
Dismiss and Snooze buttons for Alarm to be different colors, larger, easier to notice.
Make it easier to order world clocks, instead of the order they are added.

Volume lock/unlock button on demand.
Auto Run app on device boot up.
Lock or Pin apps.

Red star in app world (means you need to run Updates, just refresh and check by swiping down from top)
Better headphones with the phone (hey, we didn't even get any!)
Better night shots in camera (hardware or software improvement?)
Ability to choose which address book to sync with bluetooth car.
When app is opened from a folder three or four pages into apps list, we hope the screen can go back to that spot when the app is closed (sadly it uses active frames at the moment)
Change acceptance of auto corrected key, instead of space key, make it something else (actually, you can just backspace to un-autocorrect it back to what you typed).
Ability to load certificates (X 509 S/MIME and/or PGP/MIME) from a computer

For above encryption request, SecuSmart was suggested...
Renaming the file without extension can break the file or hide it from pictures list.
Wallpaper scrolling sideways.
Standalone e-mail app (not sure how different it is than choosing emails-only for hub)
Different colors or small tabs in different colors for different accounts in Hub.

Custom vibration options.
Move Send button in BBM to avoid accidental submission of message
Forward As… SMS, MMS, EMAIL from one to another.
Send SMS to new numbers (I think you can still do this from call log)
Single key press to change profiles.
Insert a picture into an e-mail. (I think he means into the body of email)
Turning off links of contacts (I think poster did not have multiple accounts, actually BB10 goes ahead and adds all new contacts into all address books in all accounts without user permission.. Create a contact in Hotmail? Gets copied to Gmail.. and then linked, terrible implementation in my opinion)
Presets for browser bookmarks, faster access to bookmarks. (My suggestion was to create a home screen, select 12 icons 3x4 or 16 icons 4x4 as home screen/start page)
Being able to allow flash based on website/url/server.
Ability to adjust different sounds/volumes for different BBM users/groups
Better Voice Dial and Voice Commands (shorter and easier operation)
Ability close one or all web pages/tabs, add "Close All" button.
Call Recording
Faster way to delete e-mails, such as file icons next to e-mails, or Swipe to Delete! Swipe to File!?
Customize email signatures with formatting.
Phone to stay on screen (dial pad always available in panes)
More Options for Clock.
In Playbook we can have a single character password, why not on BB10? "too short" well it is my decision, isn't it?
There is no way to go next/previous while reading an e-mail. Please add these functions.
Add to the e-mail client, Next Unread / Previous Unread.
E-mail or Hub should have more buttons at the bottom in landscape mode. Why keep only three (or four in e-mail view) buttons when you have the real estate. It would be extremely handy if you allowed users to edit which buttons should go at the bottom. Next Previous is really needed while reading an e-mail. For example I would love to add "File" button at the bottom as a shortcut instead of forward, I rarely forward, but I file all the time. Maybe allow users to have two row of keys, add next/previous/unread. Or it could be done with a gesture. How about swiping the account name (top blue bar while reading e-mail) left and right?
When you create a new contact in BlackBerry, it gets synced to all accounts on the Hub. There is no way to limit the new contact to a specific account.
Sometimes when you file an e-mail to a folder, it stops and waits few seconds with no message. Even when it files immediately, there is a confirmation message that takes time to appear and disappear, and the folder list does not disappear automatically.
Messages filed automatically by server using server side filter rules are still showing up on Blackberry hub/inbox. In older BB versions the filtered messages did not show up in the list, filed messages still did.
When you filter your e-mails using Filter / Unread function, new unread e-mails do not show up until you close the filter and re-open. It won't just keep refreshing your screen with unread e-mails. Can BB add a button to the hub "Unread Hub" so when hub shows 8 or 2, you can actually see unread items easily without having to through so many taps.
Native BB QR scanner (Smart Tags) does not work with barcodes (it only scans with no way to use the information). There is Open In function but it doesn't work properly.
We need to add more customs search providers, and be able to add custom search strings/wildcards. For example currently there is Google, Bing, Yahoo, Foursquare, etc..
I hope BB introduces the ability include more standard & custom searches, IMDB, PriceGrabber, Ebay, Youtube, XYZ Forums, ABC Newspaper, 123 Database, Etc.. Most sites nowadays provide search string in their URL Search=?* etc...
None of the Battery apps can access system settings to add a battery icon to the top. I wish battery percentage was there.
There is no way to check carrier/mobile signal strength.
Blackberry, please add the date and carrier / SSID info to the top. Sometimes we just want to glance at the top to see the date without having to swipe.
Please bring back keyboard shortcuts. Since we can easily swipe up to bring the keyboard, just add keyboard shortcuts in e-mail, phone (true speed dialing, dialing by word?), and browser, etc.. if possible. I could always call 1800SOMETHING# now I have to look up the number or use dial pad.. Please bring it back.
Camera zoom function needs to be fixed, also please include option of fixed focus by tapping on the screen to focus. The auto focus in video is focusing in and out to various objects all the time. Stabilization feature also causes tearing/ripples, I guess it is good if you are stationary. Or use Volume Keys to Zoom.
Please allow more than 12 icons in an icon group/folder, I hated Apple for limiting apps per folder, please fix it.
Auto ON/OFF feature is not there anymore. BB should consider Auto DND (DoNotDisturb) or Auto Silent/Airplane modes instead.
Please find a way to stop the music app from automatically starting up every time it connects to bluetooth like car audio. This is very annoying.
No Panaroma mode in Camera app, why not? It is very easy to incorporate. This could be a nice addition to next release, and easy.
The text selection grips needs to be a little bigger, sometimes I cannot see where I am moving them, they work better in Playbook, nice big tabs.
Call Functions, before answering a phone add sideways gesture functions, like swiping right will forward the call, swiping left will answer with a test message, etc..
Or there should be a way to reject the call without sending it to voice mail, phones had this function a decade ago, I don't know what happened to it.
We used to be able to see the "History" without having to save the contact. Now I don't see any way to "View History" of a certain phone number, it just keeps adding
them as individual entries to the log. Now I can't see when was the last time they called me, how many times we spoke which day, etc... I loved this feature in BB5.
Where is BB Traffic? Where is BB Weather, without having to run an active frame? It will eventually disappear if you run too many apps. I liked a little Icon that shows me what the temp is, instead of running a whole app.
There is no Skype. This day and age with all other platforms having it, please either get skype (Microsoft) to cooperate, or open up BBM to other platforms. If necessary, pay Skype to develop the app, then charge BB users for the app. Most will gladly pay.
Can we tap and hold on an active frame to pin it, or can we pin two favorite apps between Call and Search & Search and Camera buttons in the bottom bar? How about Close All running Active Frames app to quickly free up ram?
I hope next generation devices have two speakers or speaker that is facing forward. When playing games or watching videos in landscape mode, I find my palm muting the speaker. I have to hold it gently with fingers to have a gap in between, something I don't want to do when I am on the subway or bus.
Blackberry Maps should have a Zoom In/Zoom Out buttons, sometimes using it with one hand, it is impossible to zoom in and out. (Zoom in is OK but we can't zoom back out)

FEATURE REQUEST: make swipe-down Notifications bar disable-able

I use the iPad as a drawing tablet every day, using Brushes, ArtRage, and other drawing apps.
It's wonderful and I am delighted to be able to do this . . . EXCEPT WHEN I DRAW A STROKE DOWN FROM THE TOP OF THE SCREEN.
The introduction of the new pull-down Notifications drawer has led to loud cursing and a strong desire to break things, for me. When one is drawing, one is not in a state in which one wishes to glance at what the next day's schedule is at. Furthermore, the active area of the pull-down also 'catches' the drawing input, so the stroke which is misdirected into the Notification dialog is lost work, and subsequent rapid stokes, up to the threshold of my reaction time, also do not register.
I must then dismiss the godforsaken irritating dialog in order to continue drawing. It is the most incredibly irritating interaction I have ever experienced on an Apple product.
Please permit the dialog to be disabled either user-globally or on a per-app basis as a user-configurable setting.

even with all notifications turned off the drawer remains active. there's no way to disable it.
while this may be a user to user forum apple people do contribute. I did file this as a feature request but wanted it to be visible and searchable.

BUGS and FEATURES REQUESTED. Please add to it.

I've been using the z10 for the past couple weeks and wanted to start a thread of comprehensive Bugs and Features Requested.
I've labeled Bugs by letters (A,B,C...) and Features Requested by numbers (1, 2, 3...) so that others can add sequentially.
BUGS
(Not listed in any particular order)
(A.) Contact App adds current date as birthday. When I edit my contact, the current date gets listed as the birthday in local contact.
(B.) Duplicate telephone numbers listed. Telephone numbers show up twice in my Contacts (e.g.., if I have the contact's cell saved in (000) 123-4567 format and the person has the number listed in Facebook, I get a duplicate entry of +10001234567).
(C.) Telephone numbers and emails are not actionable in Web pages. In webpages, I can't click on telephone number to call (e.g., I look up a phone number for a restaurant). I should be able to easily call or copy into the Phone App or E-mail App.
(D.) Auto capitulation for words on the word substitution list is wrong. For example, when the word substitution contains more than one word. I have "ru" change to "are you" but if the first letter is capitalized (R) then both words become capitalized words (Are You). I used to have shortcuts like "mysig" to create email signatures with legal disclaimers but I can't do that now.
(E.) Backspace delete doesn't work consistently. The Shift+Delete function seems only to work after moving the cursor. This feature is the Alt+Del action to delete words after the cursor.
(F.) All Emoticons do not list. Emoticons do not all fit on the the two screens (lists) of emoticons. I.e., two columns are missing from view and can be seen when sliding (swiping) between the lists. Also, sometimes when I select an emoticon, it doesn't correspond with the picture of the one I intended. I believe this error is related. As a separate note, there should be a way to see the underlying symbols of the emoticon. (Often times, other people don't have BlackBerrys so I'd like to know what symbols would be sent--my prior 9800 would show the characters as i scrolled through them).
(G.) BlackBerry keyboard doesn't always work in input fields. E.g., certain Web pages. (I found a work around; two finger swipe up from the bottom makes the keyboard appear)
(H.) Sent messages stay unread. This seems to be an issue when an app sends an email (e.g., share article). The email with the sent indicator (checkmark) stays bold and I have listed 1 unread email. I can't mark as read/unread but if I delete the sent email, my unread message gets cleared.
(I.) Contact already added but I get the option to add instead of view contact. For some contacts, I get the option to add to contacts in the action menu cascade when that person is already in my address book. This bug is for emails and text messages.
(J.) Cannot call from text message. When I hold a text message and select call under the action menu cascade, the OS opens up the phone app but doesn't call.
(K.) Composing messages by name. When composting messages, the input must be by first, middle and last name. It should be, instead, by string and include nickname. E.g., if the person's name is "Andrew B. Cameron" I must type the name in as such. I can't type in "Andrew Cameron" or "Andy Cameron."
Features Requested and Suggestions for Improved User Experience
(In no particular order)
1)      Option to reply in different ways from the Call List. Be able to select a name in a call list and have options to call, text or email the person. The action menu allows calls to other numbers but I can't choose to text or email the contact instead. Sometimes, I missed a call and want to reply via text because I’m not able to talk. (Long hold on the Torch 9800 trackpad button brought up the action menu allowing me to call, text, view history, add to speed dial, e-mail, delete, etc.)
2)      Option to reply in different ways from the Hub. Related to above, when selecting an item in the hub, have the option to contact the sender or caller with multiple different ways.
3)      Only show number once in contacts application. Tap on the number to bring up the "action" cascade menu with options to call or text the number. Why is the same number listed twice (once to call and below again to text it)?
4)      Timestamps for individual text messages. I can't tell exact time on individual text message if it comes in near the time of another text. All messages are in one "bubble."
5)      Ability to select MMS or text for a message. Sometimes I write a text longer than 160 characters and I prefer it to be sent in one message (i.e., MMS mode) rather than being broken into one or more standard text messages. I had this ability with my 9800.
6)      Send button should be moved for text messages!!! Why the heck is it right underneath the delete button?!? Or next to the period button? I often times have accidentally hit send when composing text. It's very annoying and embarrassing. (Also, what happened to the ability to hit enter for a return carriage to next line?)
7)      Bigger magnifying glass. My finger is often over the area I need to place the cursor. I find it difficult and erratic to place the cursor.
8)      Select all option. Add the option to select all text in action menu cascade.
9)      E-mail recipients and message headers. Difficult to tell if you are one of many email recipients. Can we have a way to pull the email down to see the list of recipients rather than have to click to expand the header info? I know this request is a little picky, but that's how it was done in the previous BlackBerry OS which I preferred; it is easier and faster to pull the e-mail down and 'peek' to see which e-mail box received the message, message status, from and to fields. This change would be consistent with BB's flow/peek rather than click.
10)   Browser navigation. Hold down back arrow to get a list of recently visited websites similar to a desktop browser.
11)   Dark/Night mode. A night mode (maybe in the drop down menu) to change all the white and bright backgrounds to black or dark which would be helpful when reading/viewing things at night in bed/etc.
12)   Number of contacts. Ability to see how many contacts I have.
13)   What happened to groups or categories? I'd like to have back the ability to filter or see categories and also a way to contact everyone in a category. E.g., family or friends or coworkers, etc.
14)   Shutter sound mute. I was at a wedding and wanted to take pictures during the ceremony but the shutter would was too loud.
15)   East Asian Language Input. I bought my parents two Samsung Galaxy S3 phones over the weekend because they need Korean input (and the Kakao talk app). (BTW, S3 is a great phone but I prefer the Z10 after having the weekend to use the Android phones).
16)   Ability to freely place icons on the homesreen. Currently, icons are forced top left-right-to-bottom. I prefer to space my icons out.
17)   Add a contact to the homescreen. I'd like to place a shortcut (similar to a Webpage) to the homescreen for a contact which will open up the contact. Android allows this feature and so did my previous 9800.
18)   Search Contacts by nickname. The contacts app doesn't allow me to search by, e.g., Andy, even if I have that as my contact's nickname. The previous OS allowed this type of search which was very helpful.
Finally, as a note, I've been using the BlackBerry Z10 for the past 2 weeks and it's a great platform. I just bought two Samsung Galaxy S3 phones over the weekend for my parents so they could use the Korean language input and related features so I spent a lot of time with the Android platform, setting it up and teaching them how to use it. The S3 is a great phone too.
I prefer, however, the way BlackBerry has done their OS 10 and the integrated management of messages.
It's too bad that BB doesn't have Korean input and apps like Kakao Talk or I would have considered it for them.
The BlackBerry 10 is a great platform and I look forward to the continual improvements that will only make the experience better.

This is a great post.
I couldn't have written it myself better.
I'm also in dying need of Korean input as I can't communicate with my Korean friends.
But I second every point.
I hope the tech teams are reading this.
