Nokia N900 Missing Features

Hello Nokia (Nokia N900)
Can you create apps for Google maps, picture messaging and printing. I have a Nokia E90 with all these features!!! Why this phone N900 doesn't support these features??? Doesn't make sense...
Thank you

No I guess you haven't really understood the feature, maybe you never used it before, it is the feature that allows you to send DTMF tone when in a call, when you choose to do that it allows you to either punch in the code from the keypad like you to or you can scroll to the contact you want to call, select the number you want to call the contact at and send that number as a DTMF tone. Suggest you look at an old Nokia E61 manual, this should be listed and explained there. Thanks anyway.

Nokia-C7 Missing Feature - Can't change dialer vis...

Hi,
In the Nokia-C7 In the home screen, when selecting Call to open the Dialer, it is possible to search for a contacts immediately by pressing the numbers buttons to entering the characters that appears on them.
The language that appears on the buttons is the one that is configures as the default writing language of the phone, and there is no easy method of change the language appearing on the dialer keys, other than going to settings and modifying the writing language. (see page 35 of the Nokia-C7 user manual)
I have contacts in three languages in my Nokia-C7 (Arabic, Hebrew and English)
(NOTE: Although the dialer does not provide a way to select a different language to appear on it button, still the search provide results in all the languages that are used in the address book. So if my default writing language is English and I need to search for a contact name in Arabic or Hebrew, I either need to go to the settings to change the writing language, or I need to remember the keyboard layout to press the correct numbers).
I think there should be button that facilitate changing the language of the letters appearing on the dialer keys
I like the Nokia-C7 very much, but this is the only thing that I find missing and very annoying.
My phone firmware code is: 059B662 (Middle East)
I would be very thankful if this feature can be added ASAP.
Thanks.

You need to ensure forward and reverse DNS lookups work for your server. There should be a record set on your DNS server, and also on your server. This is documented in the Open Directory Administration guide.

N900 Missing Phone Features

Hi, just got my Nokia N900 a week back, Nokia has me back as a loyal customer again after my debacle with the Nokia N97. I noticed three things that I thought are fairly critical, that are missing, all related to the phone part of the N900.
1) In my E61 and the N97, one could while in a call, choose a contact from the contact list and send number as DTMF, this feature is particularly useful when using calling cards, which I do
2) From the call log of both the E61 and N97 you could choose an entry and edit the number before calling, helpful sometimes when roaming and the incoming number comes with an odd prefix because of odd carrier routing of the call
3) In Contacts, is there no field for Middle Name?
I have tried a fair bit of searching on this and other sites, oddly couldn't find anything on these, any one have any thoughts?

No I guess you haven't really understood the feature, maybe you never used it before, it is the feature that allows you to send DTMF tone when in a call, when you choose to do that it allows you to either punch in the code from the keypad like you to or you can scroll to the contact you want to call, select the number you want to call the contact at and send that number as a DTMF tone.

Missing features in nokia asha 200

hello,

there is also some specefications ..here on the site about asha 200 that dosen't exist
such as Sequence mode in camera and audio equalizer in the music player ?????
i hope all this missing features provided soon .
thanks

Hi, i have seen that the 200 in the FM recording FAQ here on the forums is supposed to support FM recording in Egypt. As this is a user to user forum, you may contact Nokia in your country directly by clicking the Nokia Support link at the bottom of this page, and assist you with your requirement as they may have got something wrong. You can also use the link to suggest new services of features that you desire.
Please note that if you bought your 200 from another country and it was their country's model, then you may have the FM recording functionality disabled as it is not allowed in their country.

Problem with Nokia N900

I am having a few problems with my Nokia N900. Would really thankful if someone help me with the below issues:
1. Not able to use internet website after some gap. Need to restart my phone and then it will work.
2. Downloaded Facebook widget but it can't work as asking for account validation but when I put user name and password for my facebook just give an error that there are no network connection.
3. Installed aMSN messenger but unable to do the voice chat. Camera is working but voice is not working. Error received that Snack Library Detected. Please guide me how or where to found Snack Library in my phone.

The phone doesn't yet support this "operator codes" so you need to call the appropriate number instead. I understand this feature will be coming in a firmware update.. See this thread for more info

Missing features

I'm delighted with many aspects of iPhone, but there are several "missing features":
1 - There is no <Find> or <Search> function at all. Being used to Spotlight on Mac OSX, I expected to be able to search for keywords in text messages, contacts, notes, etc etc etc. This is a grave omission and reduces the functionality of iPhone for me. Let's say I'm looking for an electrician, and I know I have someone in my contacts, but can't remember his name. I should be able to hit <Find> and type in "electrician" - which would deliver a list of contacts and notes containing that word.
2 - There is no way to send a Contact to another phone via Bluetooth or Text message. Every other phone I've ever had (from some really old Nokia phones to the latest Sony Ericsson) had this function. You could select a contact, then open a menu and choose "send as...", and then select how to send the info, either via Bluetooth or Infrared (if applicable) or simply via SMS to another person's phone. This is VERY restrictive.
3 - As a Mac user, I am used to contextual menus everywhere. Hold <ctrl> and click and you get lots of options wjich relate to whatever you are doing. There are no menus at all on iPhone. I'm sure this was intentional, but it would really be useful to have menus in many areas. For example, to send a contact as noted in my point 2 above. Or to re-name a pin in Maps.
4 - What about being able to copy and paste text? I can't believe this is not available. It ties in with my suggestion above for contextual menus. We really need more functionality on the iPhone
I do LOVE the phone and find the whole experience captivating, fun and intuitive. However, the missing features noted above really sour the experience.

Portrait Mode For Nokia N900

Unfortunately for some reasons I am not getting full satisfaction from my Nokia N900.
Missing MMS,
Quick Battery Drain,
Landscape Mode all times,
Unsupported by OVI,
Fully not completable with Nokia PC Suite,
I understand it's a kind of internet tablet. May be for this reason this phone have only landscape mode. But it does not mean that I shall use this phone only for surfing Internet all the way. I think Nokia should look into this matter and enable Portrait mode. In fact landscape mode is not comfortable all the times specially we bring out the phone from trouser's pocket and turn the phone landscape physically and start operation !!
These are some basic points. I believe there are also lots of issues with this phone. But as a Nokia addict I expected more from this device. Now I am badly waiting for change this device :-(
Thanks to all !!!
Nokia N8

There is a portrait mode SMS in development over at Maemo.org. Not sure how Nokia plan to address portrait mode in the future.
But it's been stated by Nokea/Maemo that they have no intention in bringing "Native MMS" to the N900. Instead they are working closely with Frals (the creator of fMMS) to make sure his app integrates seamlessly with the O/S.
The post can be viewed here: Statement on native MMS
Personally I think Frals has done an awesome job and I've finally got the hang of using fMMS.
Ovi is currently in beta. (There's enough talk about it on here).
N-Series PC Suite has a better compatibility than Ovi Suite at present.
And the battery drain will be fixed in the next firmware update (PR1.2), which is imminent.

Disappointed in Nokia N900

Hi I got a new Nokia N900 two days ago, surprisingly although it has two cameras it cant make a video call, my line supports 3G and video calls but nothing in the menu says video call at all. another main issue that annoyed me, there is no call divert in Nokia N900, only call forwarding, for example in my country if you want to divert your phone to another you must dial (**21* phone num #) but the problem with Nokia N900 it doesnt dial the * or the # although its dialed on the screen it says incorrect number and this is really annoying, hope there is a solution for both problems above or Nokia N900 is a failure.

as a business man, please read your manual.
the unit came with a short manual and you can get the full manual pdf here:

the unit just does way to much to sit here and answer such a broad question.

I have questions about Nokia N900..can any one ans...

any one know if nokia n900 will support N-gage games or not and does it have good and fast responsive touch screen as that in Iphone or not and will it have Scratch-resistant surface or not and will it support Multi-touch input method ??
I konw that this mobile still not present in markets yet but if any one know answers to these questions so plz answer them..Thanks

thanks everybody for your answers..but what do you mean cpitchford by Maemo 6 ,is this update to Maemo 5 or it is separate Maemo edition for devices which will come after N900 ??
Maemo 6 (aka Harmattan) is the next maemo OS (think XP to Vista) There isn't any firm guarantee it will run on the N900, but it is due out 2011 by which time the N900 will be quite old in phone terms.
DRM is something Nokia seems to love. They back Microsofts DRM heavy media formats (wma, wmv), they use DRM to manage their games, they use DRM to manage the ring tones on the devices!! Even Nokia music store sells music with DRM (how 2007 of them!! Seriously, DRM on music downloads?? *YAWN* get with the times, Nokia, please!! I can't sync my phone with Nokia music as it copies every track every time I connect my phone and your technical support haven't given me any assistence, so WHY would I pain myself further by using your DRM heavy online music store!?!)
DRM requires kernel (and potentially hardware) level intervention. Maemo traditionally uses a fairly stock Linux kernel and as such DRM doesn't really feature that much..if you have "root" access on the device you could potentially fairly easily circumvent it.. (why? to gain access to stuff you already own?)
To overcome the issues, DRM needs to be fixed into the kernel OR factor in other DRM hardware. It may come on the N900 already, dunno, haven't seen it yet.. but if not I don't think we're going to see it before Maemo6
In terms for future proofing..
The N810, announced end of 2007, ran OS2008 (maemo 4) which is already end of life.. under 2 years later..
To answer your question, Maemo 6 will be for future devices and *may* be available for the N900..
Don't get me wrong, though.. I don't see this as a problem.. I've owned a 770, N800 and N810 and I will own an N900 when its out.. each time the hardware got a lot better.. more RAM, camera, keyboard, CPU..

List of missing features in CC 2014 for film editors

hello everyone,
I was thinking about some features I miss in CC 2014 (and I really was hoping they will be there, because the most of them are just basics...) and made a list which I want to send (again...) to Adobe as feature request. Premiere improved a lot in last years, but there are still some basic functions which you absolutely need as a professional editor, which still aren`t implemented. What do you think about the list? or maybe did I overlook some of the new features in CC 2014? Just so you know, I`m using Premiere mostly for editing movies (shorts, but will edit my first feature film this year), also promotional films, but much more less. So my biggest concern right now is if Premiere is the right choice for editing a feature, which of course means a lot of material, probably Red Raw.
so here`s what I totally miss in Premiere:
1. auto sync/auto merge: synching by timecode or waveform all of the video and audio clips in the bin/in the timeline at once and not one after another. and merging them all at once, not one after another. it works of course, but it takes ages!
2. merged clips should be more flexible,
- it should be possible to use the option "interpret footage" on merged clips, sometimes you have to modify them after they were merged and you`re already editing for a long time.
- replacing raw footage should also replace the footage in the (already merged and edited in a timeline) merged clips
3. the aaf export is much too simple, there are a lot of options I miss there. it is great solve in Avid and in automatic duck in Final Cut, something like that would be great
4. the possibility to change color space in the project and play out. yes, this option is available in After Effects, but you can`t always use it, because there is some footage you can`t import in AE (like titles!)
5. .. which leads me to the last point: it should be possible to export the titles from Premiere with an alpha channel (I`m using the titles as the subtitles)
bugs that need to be fix:
- audio dropouts!
Are there any feature films editors here? what is your experience with working on big projects on premiere?

Since I don't know how to edit my own posts . . .
Another missing feature, automatically filling in formulas when a new row is created. For instance, say you have 3 columns, 1 + 2 = 3. In Office 2004, when I add a new row, that formula is automatically inserted. It's just one of those nice little time saving features that would be nice.

Where are the many missing features in Numbers found?

The more that I use Numbers the less likely that I will ever go through the motions of trying to get Numbers to do enough of the things that have to be done in order for my income tax program to work. Like in another post I have some of my smaller tax forms to say that they are too big to be imported. There seems to be too many missing features to do a useful job.
This leaves trying to use Numbers to handle new small, small, small spreadsheets. At the present times I have little problem setting up a format for a cell providing the formatting is available. In Excel the easiest way to copy a format to a new cell is to use format painter. Many time copy/paste will work. But copy/paste will move the formula also. I have not been able to find a way to do this with Numbers.
So far the sliders feature is the one feature that interests me enough to try to use Numbers in the real work handling portion of my business. Many things I want to do either I can't find out how to do them or there are too many added keystrokes needed compared to Excel to make me want to do a spreadsheet in Numbers.
Since the majority of my spreadsheets do not use a header row or header column I have to get that turned off. Tax sheets have a lot of blank spaces to start things out & normally will be different than the next sheet.
I used a lot of cell/range names as well as individual cells. I use 450+ cell names in my main Form 1040, A,B,D,NE,IA page. That still leaves me needing to know the row/column designation most of the time. I cannot find where that information is displayed in Numbers.
I keep looking, but generally do not find the needed feature that I need. Many like the cell designation is so basic. Being able to use the arrow keys to move to a cell for inclusion in a formula is another one that I am unable to do. Using the help files do not come close to answering any question that I have with Numbers. Where is the Numbers, "Missing Manual?" I need what I don't have & may not be made at the current time.
Like Pages 1.0, Numbers 1.0 doesn’t seem ready for prime time use. There are too many missing features be a very complete spreadsheet. Some I probably can’t find, some probably are not there.
I need help.

Missing Features, Bugs, and Wish List for Apple Engineers

I LOVE my iPhone. It is by far the best phone I have ever had. The interface is awesome. Great job Apple, but there are missing features and bugs that all of us want updated or wish were added. I know they were probably already thought of by Apple, but in an effort to make the phone perfect removed to make it more stable. Now that it is out lets make it perfect.
This thread will hopefully give you guys guidance from the early adopters who share your love for the phone (and others who want to chime in). I want to separate the list into a few categories and hope everyone will add to this thread with their ideas:
1) BUGS/CHANGES TO EXISTING APPS:
- Period should be in alphabet keyboard (make space smaller) or when you go to symbol keyboard and hit period it should automatically go back to the alphabet keyboard (unless you double click the symbol button which means stay there like caps lock)
- Individual delete (like Mail) of all lists (eg. call list, bookmarks list, history etc.
- Multiple item in a List delete (see below for how to select). This is also so un-Mac like to not be able to select multiple items to delete. It is all or none for clear/delete on the iPhone.
- Implement double finger slide...in maps double finger tap zooms out so the OS recognizes this, why don't you use a double finger drag to mean "select". There is no way to select some words in a sentence or a group of items. This could be how. eg. In a list (eg Mail) double finger slide over items you want to select (instead of singer finger drag which moves the list) then one finger slide to the right to delete the selected items from the list.
- Copy and paste. Since there are no menus this would require a gesture (ala newton)
- when you tap the battery icon it should bring up a battery status dialog (ala wifi join dialog where the screen dims): present charge, big battery icon (like the charging one), time left. In addition, instead of giving battery usage details only after a full charge, give it at any point.
- Since you know that nights and weekends are at set times (and not variable like it was on Sprint where I came from)...the phone usage details should be broken down into: peak minutes used and N+W minutes used (not hard to figure out since you know the time and dates of calls)
- Be able to change font/background etc in Notes app
- faster way to get to favorites in the killer phone app after turning on phone. Just seems like it takes too many taps to get there to make a call on a phone.
2) WISH LIST FOR NEW APPS (apps that can be added with existing hardware, see #3 for other wishes)
- iChat (obvious and probably almost done)
- VOIP (probably not going to happen, and wouldn't work in Europe where I would need it most gven network speeds there)
- Flight tracker widget
- Exchange support (probably in the works)
- Push email from gmail and .Mac (probably in the works)
- Bluetooth sync
- DUN (probably not going to happen since AT+T does not want it)
- Data/File storage with sync
- TODO APP that syncs to to do in iCal
- Ringtones, definitely from songs from iPod side (obvious and coming soon I am sure)
-Search function like spotlight. Global would be awesome, but even just in contacts
3) FUTURE HARDWARE RELATED WISHES (stuff we wish could be in hardware version 1 but know require a version 2):
- GPS
- 3G
- LED that changes color and/or pulses (like MacBooks sleep light) that indicates things (eg charge status, Voice mail status, roaming status etc) without turning on the phone
- Move camera to front to allow video conferencing (I doubt Steve would allow since it would mess up the clean front look)
Well I could go on and will add to this thread later, but I need to go to work to show everyone (and sell more apple stuff since many of my colleagues have been converted to macs). Now, all you pioneers, start adding things to help our beloved phone become better!

I agree with your post! I'm amazed by the simplicity, the screen, and the apps on the iPhone. They all have worked wonderfully for me, with just a few crashes while surfing or loading big email images. (I heard that shutting down the phone and restarting helps that.)
The single flaw for me is that the phone app itself should be primary, with more options (quicker access, unique ringtones, voicedial?) and ease of use. The other applications are so elegant, but I need my phone to be very accessible and practical too.
My wish list:
1) Make it fewer taps to get to the point where you can make a phone call. How about the main button can be programmed to take you wherever you want. I'd choose to go to Phone Favorites, so I could speed dial right away.
2) Be able to set a preference as to what app you're in when you wake up the phone. I'd choose phone keypad, some might choose iCal, etc.
3) Add the period and comma symbols to the alpha keyboard.
4) Allow different ringtones for specific caller ID's.
5) Copy and paste.
V2) With new hardware, add a "back" button to return to prev. screen. It could be small, on the side near volume?
