Suggestion for future firmware release

Hi, I'm proud to be a possessor of an AirPort Extreme and I would reccomend some useful deficiencies for future firmware update.
The ability to specify DNS1 and DNS2 for DHCP Client (I don't want that AirPort resolve itself)
The ability to quickly turn off and on wireless for health and green respect.
I'm thinking at a small application that doesn't restart AirPort but only turn off and on wireless and wired host continue to work.
Obviously AirPort Extreme doesn't have any hardware button to turn off wireless, but this could be a great thing for future models of AirPort...
Best regards!

Why not let Apple know directly about your suggestions?

EA6900 Update and Two Suggestions for Future Firmware "Nice to Haves"

Hey, first off, I've been a user of Linksys Routers for many years now, so I am familiar with the different settings and other selections that you generally see on the firmware pages. As to the EA6900, I am very, very PLEASED with how this router initially set up, along with the different pages in it's firmware. With the one exception noted below, the pages and the various settings "flow" very well. This baby is up and kickin and the house is literally dripping in both 2.4 and 5 GHz RF. The DHCP Reservation and MAC Wireless Filtering Tables worked without a hitch. The setup for FTP and NAS was simple! BTW, the setup for FTP shares is far easier than what we had to do using the EA3000 firmware. Kudos there! I am using the router associated with a server that is hosting about 25 different wired devices throughout the house, with a Cisco SG-200-08 Smart Switch behind the router for the LAN, which is load balancing on a Teamed (2 NIC'S) 2GB Adapter . The router grabbed Comcast's Native IPv6 and set that up flawlessly. Here is the information on how all that went (read from the bottom up): http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r28693387-IPv6-Dumb-Questions-About-My-IPv6-Goat-Roped-Hookup Information on how the netwrk worked in Teaming and LAG mode is here: https://supportforums.cisco.com/message/4071888#4071888
OK:, So, Mr. Linksys Firmware Developer, whoever and wherever you are, I have two suggestions on the user GUI that would make everyone's life a little easier next time the firmware is updated:
1. Please make it so numbers, particularly MAC and IPv6 numbers, can be copied and then pasted to another place in the firmware. For example, in the Information tab of the Device Settings section, I should be able to copy MAC and IP numbers and then be able to paste them, say, in the DHCP Reservation Table. Other Linksys device firmware allowed for this.
2. For goodness sakes, PLEASE don't nest the Diagnostics tab under the Troubleshooting group. It drives me nuts to think that getting the router's status, to ping or traceroute, or to do a firmware backup would be found in "Troubleshooting". Suggest that all y'all just remove the Diagnostics tab to the far left side of the application and have that item as its own stand-alone group!
Then I will be most happy. As if it really matters, BUT I wanted to give all y'all my perspective from a user way down in the day-to-day weeds. A most happy Boy otherwise.

Suggestion for future Archlinux Releases.

Hello everybody,
today I read the release announcement of Archlinux 2007.08 on distrowatch.com. See http://distrowatch.com/4394.
I registered immediatelly the Archlinux forum only because I wanted to tell the releasers / developers of Archlinux this here:
Please dont use single quotes "\'" in any of your file names, especially not in the release ISOs.
I use Linux (Gentoo at DesktopPC, Ubuntu at Laptop and Fedora at Work-Laptop) for a very long time and know many Unix-like-OS enthusiasts - friends, relatives and collegues. It's shocking to see that someone from within the Linux/Unix-fraction (and Archlinux belongs to this group) is using one of the most forbidden characters, if not the THE single most taboo'rized character, a Unix-like system could ever face in it's filenames.
The last time I remember I had a single quote filename file on my harddisk was from a legally rather questionable source from P2P networks,
uploaded by one of those MSDOS-Era release groups which include MSDOS-Codepage encoded NFO files, artful ASCII-Magic-on-Dope filenames and other horrible things not to be mentioned here. (There might be women and children around...)
What happend there?
Who is responsible for this and why hasnt he been banned of the dev-team, yet?
Why do you think was it legitimate or even necesarry(?!) to include a single quote in the ISO name?
Please dont get me wrong, Im not as mad as I may sound.
Also, Im not just kidding. Yes, there may be little humor in here,
but the core question is definetely understandable, IMHO.
I'd really like to hear a reasonable and serious answer.
Bye,
Tobi.

"'" is a valid filename character. The only invalid character is the "\0".

Im not too sure about this. As far as I am concerned, most Unix Systems allow any Character except a Slash "/" in their filenames.
But it would be interesting to underline (or correct/falsify) this with a link to an official document, wouldnt it?
EDIT: come to think of it, maybe both is correct: \0 and "/" are not allowed. \0 because of the underlaying C programming (more precisely the String representation in C) and "/" because of the logical separation. However, I'd still welcome an official reference to this.

Suggestion for future release

Where should I post suggestions for future releases of SQL Developer or/and Data Modeler?
Please give me a link.
Thanx,
Chris
One suggestion for Data Modeler:
In the "Model Properties" of a relational model, there should be a "scripts" folder like in the "Table Properties".
In this script I'd like to generate some global statements for the DDL generation,
for example:
before (=begin of generated script): set define off; alter session set nls_numeric_characters='.,'; nls-config
after (=end of generated script): commit; (when table inserts are used and no ddl-statement is following; otherwise you have to use 'commit' in each table-script; After the last table create (ddl-) statement there is no implicit 'commit')
I know, that I can edit the generated script to add my statements, but if you often generate code there is a good change to forget to change the script afterwards.

Your "suggestions for future features" is broken??!!

I really just wanted to leave you a suggestion for future features. Your system took me to a page that said i needed to be on the most recent version but alas I am! You even tell me so when I go to firefox.com! Hmmmm...... a little problem there.
Regardless, here is the feature suggestion i wish to make:
You've done a fine job of cleaning up the top bar in 4.0 to make the most of new widescreen displays so that we have more space for the page content vs. the browser stuff. The deal is, virtually all sites still use only about a third of the page width leaving tons of wasted space on a full screen view. Why don't you offer a way to move all the browser navigation, tabs, and tools wherever i prefer - like running vertically down the left or right side of the massively empty pages i see on my 24" monitor and even my little 11" laptop monitor?

Suggestions for New Firmware to X6.

Word suggestion to be included when typing message or text.
Can include 2 or 3 desktops.
Can integrate the file location of Gallery(Sounds and videos) with Phone/Mass Storage device.
Can give new icons/Colors for each number [MOBILE (Home/Business)]
Include smiley's.
Birthday Reminders in Calender taking from contacts.(As like anniversary)

Thank you nokia for the recent release of v30. Below are what nokia is still missing and still need work on for nokia x6.
Messaging
-Ability to select multiple messages with ease (Check boxes)
-Ability to search within the messages without having to use a Search app
-Ability to predict text in Qwerty mode, correct typos
-Allow users to set the preferred connection to sync emails (Currently it doesn't allow users to choose during first email configuration wizard)
-Remove "show open apps" from option menu (Redundant, this option is already available when holding middle key)
Home screen
-Ability to display notification like older nokia smart phone models (received messages, missed calls) and able to integrate with facebook app to display facebook notification.
-API to be improved to allow apps to integrate with it, allow tweeter notification, facebook, friendster. (Must have option to select/disable)
-Widget support
-Allow adding of more app short cuts (Can use the readily available technique used to display contacts)
Music player
-Ability to search music within player
-Improve music player performance
-Allow music player to update music contents (album art, album info)
Connection manager
-Allow users to disable a specific type of connection from taking place
-When a connection has already taken place especially if its WIFI, all other apps (browser, ovi store, music store, ovi contacts) must not ask what connection to take. This improves user friendliness
-Link to connection log (remove connection log from the "Log" application
-Allow a type of connection to be set as default: (Example I set WIFI as default) this makes all application to use WIFI or search for WIFI to begin connection
Log
- Log should be broken down to sub categories : Call log, Internet log, System log, Messaging log
-New feature to display system logs which is able to display error messages, crashes, hangs, and background apps that has performed something successfully (eg, successfully Connected at 12.00am)
-Allow security module to prevent access to all logs and allow users to choose to password protect their logs
Menu
- Allow users to move menu items easily (Ability to select multiple objects eg icon is highlighted to show that it is selected) and move items to another location in one go
- Responsive UI, increase speeds of opening folders with large amount of files
- Improve logic of screen taping: [single tap to select, double tap to open]. Currently this is not uniform throughout the system. Some functions require double tap some opens in single tap
- Display available RAM (Random access memory) so that users know how many tasks can run or can be opened.
System
-Improved CPU management
-Improved RAM/memory management
-Ability to isolate hanged application and display "App has hanged, end task?"
-Allow rotation to be locked from Options (Userful when on bed or in car )
Browser
-Tabbed browsing
-Allow users to hold screen on a link or anywhere on the screen to open a sub menu which displays : "Select text", "copy", "paste", "open new window"
-Better web rendering for big websites so that "Memory full please close some apps" is not displayed.
-Better flash rendering
-Improved flash player
-Extension support, allow community developers to create extensions
-Improved buttons :
Remove the Options and Stop
Replace with specific buttons/symbols that serves one function. (Currently Stop is able to change to Back, change to Close)
Buttons should be placed on a tab that hides when finger moves away and neatly slides up when finger comes close to the bottom
Camera
-Allow settings to be saved example (color type :normal, vivid) so that it is available when camera starts up again
Bluetooth
- Allow users to choose where a file is to be saved
- Separate received bluetooth files from Inbox.
- Dedicated inbox for receiving bluetooth files (In a case of receive multiple files)
- Battery saving mode : Caps speed and range in this mode
Gallery
-Improve the zooming speed
-Improve loading of large image files
-Ability to search for an image from the gallery itself
-Ability to create folders in the image gallery
Video Player
-Ability to support codes that can be downloaded and installed or purchased
-New supported formats for commonaly used videos like dviX, rmvb, mkv
Ovi store
- Improve loading speed as it is such a small app
- Integrate with TopApp
Games
- The games folder is unlogical as users can place anything in that folder
- Should be a "Game Centre" which integrates it self to Ovi Store and ability to download games from there, and install together
-Sort games based on type :Action, Adventure, Sports,
-Support for more API to allow creative developers to make better games
Some ridiculous logic
Ovi store, ovi music follows the internet settings of the browser. This confuses new users. Ovi store should have independant settings so should ovi music.
Thats all for now. You see nokia, if you improve these features you are allowing millions of customers to be at peace. We buy your product because we still have hope.
The creation of Nokia X6 has dissapointed many customers because of its instability, uniform features, speed. Functionality wise nokia lacks its "smart" as a smart phone. All the features I suggested above is "possible" to be worked on. Improve this features so that more customers will have faith on your future models.

Scanner Suggestions for future support

Maybe I'm asking for the world, but I'm on my third scanner in the last 6 years. Does anyone have a suggestion for a scanner manufacturer, or price range, where I might be able to count on future support of drivers as the new OS releases come out? I have used the workarounds (VueScan), but I'd really just like to think in advance that I am buying a product that will be supported 2 years from now.

Took no action.

Hi need good suggestion for future

hi experts,
i need good suggestion for my future _
i have 3 + exp as a ABAP consultant,
i am looking for a change, i wish to add some thing to ABAP? but, i couldn't understand what to do? pls help me in this regard..
my skills are : very good in ABAP
vey weak in OOPS.
waiting for good advice
thanks in advance

the future will depends on the OOPS only . for all the companies started working on OOPS only they are upgrading to the oops from the general abap...be aware of that ..
it is better to learn XI or HRABAP it is good for you i think.

Suggestion to Apple for future firmware update

Can I make a suggestion or two here of some features if there's an upgrade to the firmware of the iPod Video?
-It would be mighty cool to have one more option for Backlight...maybe one where every time it switches tracks, it would light up for 5 or 10 seconds.
-I WISH the timed sleep function could be put on the main menu rather than having to go into the Clock settings first.
-A display option added that would show just the artwork.

The first one is a really good one with an option to set your iPod to light up for a couple seconds when it switches tracks. So many times in the car I won't recognize the track (especially if it is something new I added to iTunes) and I have to touch the iPod to force the backlight on so I can see what it is.
Another one I would love to see, and have send the idea to Apple years ago, is to allow the screen color to be changed rather than being white. One very useful application of this would be to use a dark red screen so when using the iPod at night when you want to look at the iPod the blinding white screen ruins your night vision, so having the option to change the screen color, while cool in its own right, would be great to have a "night" setting using a dark red screen.

Suggestion for next firmware update - Nokia 5800

If anyone from nokia is reading this in the next firmware update for the Nokia 5800 XM can we have the facility of have the name of the title track of a song scroll from left to right whilst the song is playing, as at the moment it scrolls once and then stops so if its a song with a long title all you can see is just half the title after its scrolled once, and also maybe a way as the song is playing of seeing the details of the song playing (like the tags for artist, Kbps, song title, album name) by clicking the onscreen softkey/options button. And also this can be extended to the contacts list where the name will scroll from left to right to show the full contact name when you press on it, at the moment it doesn't do that.

Unfortunately the care centres are the only people that can help you.
Any other methods that you may read about on other forums will void your warranty and cannot be discussed here.

N93 suggestion for new firmware

The N93 does not allow for multiple button press (at the same time), which disqualifies it for gaming. That's to bad, because it has a 3D-accelerator chipset, TV-out, good buttons and landscape mode... PLEASE consider fixing this in the new firmware, PLEASE!

The most logical solution is to add a function to the firmware to navigate through albums or playlists.
The shuffle already has the ability to restart the playlist by pressing the play button 3 times.
Next playlist (or album) could be: tap '>>' 3 times ... while paused press the '>>' (because who really needs to fast forward while paused on a SHUFFLE that you can't see how far you're fast forwarding) ... while paused, press and hold the '>>' button.
And to put even more options (but might be too confusing or comlex).. would be to have different functions depending on whether or not shuffle or continuous play is selected.
IE: when most people are using shuffle, they still like to shuffle playlists or sets of music that they chose ... when people are using continuous play, they usually are listening to albums.
And to top it all off, even allowing people to manage their own firmware would be amazing, but make troubleshooting tough for the bonehead users. (Letting people decide what series of buttons would do what function).
Regardless of the way to solve the problem, shuffle's DO have a problem of being nothing more than 1 playlist, i think many would agree... yes?

Suggestion for new firmware

hi,
i thought it might be very useful if one could skip to the next album by quickly pressing forward two or maybe three
times. i know its not in line with the "shuffle-idea" but sometimes (on a trainride for example) i like to listen to whole albums, and the above feature would make it that much easier.
greetings,
nuji

Product suggestion for future iTunes

I can't find where to send a product suggestion to Apple.
When listening to "live" albums (i.e. Oscar Peterson's "A Night in Vienna" or Eric Clapton's "Unplugged" etc...any album that's been recorded with applause between tracks)...the applause is often annoyingly loud. It would be great to be able to designate tracks as "recorded live" and have iTunes automatically reduce the playback volume for the applause. I realize this might be a challenge to get iTunes to recognize the applause vs. the music, but...that's my suggestion. This would be different than 'Sound Check' in that it would fade out (reduce volume/levels) for the applause only...not the entire track.
G5, iBook G4, G4, and a trusty old 7200/90 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I don't know how this would be done either, but I would imagine...
• it wouldn't be fool-proof (what is?)
• I think that most applause has some common audio attributes. If a song is checked by the user to make use of a "live applause filter", for example, it would 'listen' to the beginning/end of a track and match the audio against a filter of common applause audio attributes, and appropriately fade/reduce volume if there's a good filter match.
• program it to only allow the fade at the beginning/end of tracks--mid-song applause would remain as-is. I would think that should be easy enough.
• perhaps the program could 'learn' intuitively or be 'taught' by the user the applause attributes of each song ... for example: such-and-such song has an applause fade 0:06 into the beginning and 3:50 - 4:15 at the end. iTunes attempts automatic detection, then allows the user to 'tweak' what it came up with.
Just ideas. I have no idea about what I'm talking about...I know nothing about audio, programming, or much else...just a user with an idea for this.

Suggestion for future Match upgrade -- add a "force upload" function

I've been using the Match service since it went GA, last month. I have a lot of CD rips, but also some vinyl needledrops and different masterings (i.e. The Beatles in Mono) which the Match functionality really has trouble with. In the case of the Beatles Mono, it might upload some tracks but "match" others. So my Beatles album ends up becoming half mono / half stereo in iCloud.
This is undestandable given the technology being used, but is still very frustrating. So my suggestion to Apple developers is to create an "force upload" function to their Cloud service, with the next Match revision. This doesn't need to be enabled by default, but make part of the dropdown for a song or album to alow the user to use their specific local version, if the Match process doesn't work to their satisfaction.
What do you think? Good idea or waste of developer resources? I've already called Apple support with this suggestion, but I'm assuming that they are hesitant as it might give users the ability to eat up a ton of storage space on Apple's end, if it's abused.

The idea has merit, though a reluctance on Apple's part to implement, as you pointed out, might be argued based on additional server commitment. However, my guess is that as the matching process improves (crossing my fingers here), the storage requirement for the same number of users would go down, not up. We read a lot more from people who want the songs to match for one reason or another than want the ability to eat up hours uploading. I suppose Apple could put some hard limit on how much could be uploaded without the user paying more, if it really came to that.
On another subject, while you've gone through pieces of it in other posts, I would like a chance to pick your brain regarding your Audacity workflow, i.e. turntable/cartridge used, phono stage/preamp, A/D converter - well the whole ball of wax. I've learned what I know through reading and by applying what I learned in radio & TV studios eons ago, so I'm sure having a dialogue with an actual human who's had better success than I in getting vinyl to match would be very helpful.
Because until I read some of your postings, I was under the assumption my limited success was better than what most were achieving, I detailed my process here.

N9 suggestions for future update

1. enable all hardware is in n9 like fm radio, transmiter, video call. and all other iI dont know.
2. fix buges with gps, email and mms, swype(if iI choose suggested word, it wrotes two words first i swiped and second i choose.), browser (enable to download all type of files), make able to seperare contacts from different accaunts.
3. add more shortcuts like 8icons, or icons from all swypes not only from down to up, add landscape for whole ui( and make able to edit it without third party programs).
thats all from me right now.
Nokia Please Help N9 live!
Please Fix:
Browser Downloads
Video Call
Voice Deal
Fm Radio

give us a synchronization software that really works.
Read http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/nokia-suite-3-2-beta/suggestion/42076/n9-support
here is how they respond to our requests now.
"there's no such plan. Nokia Link is targeted for Nokia N9 users. As you've seen from comments by Pia, for Nokia N9 decision was to use new, lightweight desktop sideloading product."
and how we thought,
"With the very limited functionality (lightweight?) of Nokia Link it is completely against that what customers want. We bought a high quality device which works quite well OTA but which is almost worthless when a company does not allow synchronizing an Exchange server due to security concerns.
I think Nokia does everything to prevent the N9 to become a very successful phone which sells better than all the announced and published WP **bleep**. This decision which was taken by someone to provide Nokia Link as the only connectivity software for the N9 is absolutely not customer oriented. Nokia was known to produce high quality innovative phones. Unfortunately this time is over."
