Suggestions for improving iPhone 3G functionality.

Just made the move a couple of days agoBlackberry to iPhone because of the MobileMe functionality. Besides not having to sync anything, and the visual voicemail, I'm pretty disappointed.
A few suggestions for the next operating system.
-Copy and Paste functionality. Why they don't have this is RIDICULOUS!
-Ability to delete individual calls from call lists. It's already a function in the SMS app, why not have it in phone?.
-Calling from address book (as opposed to clicking into phone, and then contacts). If you create a new address book entry, you should be able to make a call right away.
-The ability to MUTE certain contacts when they call you. This is available on the Blackberry, and has come in very handy.
-Also, while this is not Apple's problem, a functional Facebook app. The blackberry FB app is flawless.
Any other suggestions?
APPLE, PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THESE KINDS OF SUGGESTIONS

You really did not offend me, it's just that there are a dozen people a day who post the same suggestions. This forum is designed to ask questions of functionality ar problems. Yes, everyone wants MMS, Apple know that. But your really not going to get a constructive response about it here

Suggestion for Improving Number

Hello Oracle Java community,
I've recently encountered some difficulties using the abstract class java.lang.Number, and have a suggestion for improvement.
I'm writing a class that computes statistical information on a list of numbers - it would be nice to not couple this class to Integer, Double, BigDecimal, or any other wrapper by using generics. I saw that there is a nice superclass that all Number objects inherit from.
I came up with:
public class Statistics<T extends Number> {
private List<T> data;
// statistical data that i wish to find and store, such as median, mean, standard dev, etc
public synchronized void setData(List<T> data) {
this.data = data;
if (this.data != null && !this.data.isEmpty()) calculateStatistics();
private void calculateStatistics() {
// Welcome to instanceof and casting hell...
h4. It would be nice to have richer functionality from the Number class, say to do mathematical operations with them or compare them.
h4. After all, in the real world it is possible to do so.
h4. Real numbers are much like BigDecimal. Why not take the idea of BigDecimal, and make that the parent of Integer, BigInteger, Double, Short, Byte, Float (I'm probably forgetting a few)? All of those are limited forms of real numbers. It would make comparison between Number datatypes easy, would probably remove all of that duplicated arithmetic code between all of the children of Number, and also allow Numbers to be used in powerful generic ways. The parent/replacement of BigDecimal could even be named RealNumber, which stays true to its math domain.
As a side note, I'm solving this problem by taking an initial step to convert the List<whatever type of Number that the user enters> into a List<BigDecimal> by getting the toString() value of each element when cast as a Number.
private List<BigDecimal> convertData(List<T> data) {
ArrayList<BigDecimal> converted = new ArrayList<BigDecimal>();
for (T element : data) {
converted.add(new BigDecimal(((Number) element).toString()));
return converted;
Criticism is always welcome.
Thanks for your time and thoughts.

How compareTo() came into existence is from Comparable interface. As I understand, Comparable came into existence since Collections API has sorting functions - which needs to be run with a matching Comparable object that knows how to determine which element is larger than the other (not limited to objects representing numbers, you might sort a list of Persons). Hence, compareTo() is not solely meant for the comparison of numbers. Existence of the method in BigDecimal is just one case.
Subclasses can override the equals() method, but that cannot be implemented in a cleaner manner and leads to a very poor design. For example, you might want to compare an Integer and a Float. So the Integer class's equals() method need to have some if-else structure to determine the other type and then compare. Same holds true for the Float class's equals() method as well. Ultimately, Everything becomes a mess. All subclasses of RealNumber needs to know about all other subclasses of RealNumber. And you will not be able to introduce new subtypes and expect the equals() method to work correctly.
To avoid this, you need to depend on a single representation form for all types of numbers. If that's the case, you might just live with something like BigDecimal and not use Byte, Float, Integer,... (which we kind of do in some cases - for example to represent monetary amounts). So we can live without Byte, Float, Integer,...
Then we need some utility classes that would contain some number type specific functions to work with primitives. So we will also have Byte, Float, Integer... unrelated to BigDecimal.
Clearly, the wrapper types are there not because of the need to represent real world number types, but because of the need to represent computer domain number types. Hence, they have been organized not according to relationships found in real world number types. Many of us find this way of modelling sufficient and have an understanding about the limitations. But if you need to model the real world number relationships for some special reason, you might write some new classes. Then again there will be real world aspects that you will not be able to model easily. So you will model some aspects and neglect the other.

Any suggestions for improving my efficiency?

These are the two methods I've come up with to use what I have for making movies. One is for DVDs. The other is for making QuickTime MOV files for CDs. This is the process I have to use because we don't yet have our digital video camera that is firewire compatible with Final Cut.
For DVDs that will play in DVD players or media software on your computer:
1. I take the Video_TS folder and run it through DVD Imager (free, macupdate.com) which converts it into an IMG file.
2. I use the Apple Disk Utility (part of OS X) and burn the IMG file to a DVD.
Simple enough.
Making our recorded footage editable in Final Cut and then exporting as a QuickTime movie is a little more complicated. There may be a simpler way to do all this (like get a fire-wire FC-compatible camera I can capture footage from) but this is the process I finally got to work:
1. In the Video_TS folder are two VOB files. The larger one is the one that actually has your video on it. I use MPEG Streamclip (free, squared5.com) to remove the timebreaks (otherwise all you get is the poster frame) and convert it to a Quicktime MOV file. For settings, I just use Apple Video, 720x480 NTSC, and 30 fps. You need to buy the Apple Quicktime MPEG-2 Playback Component ($20, apple.com) for this free software to work.
2. Import the MOV file into Final Cut (I use Express which is $300 from apple.com) and do your editing and other yumminess. You'll need to render it first.
3. Export as an MOV file ... there's no .mov extension and the Info says it's a Final Cut Express Movie file, not a QT MOV which makes me nervous so I I open it in QuickTime Pro ($30, apple.com) and export it using the Movie to Quicktime Movie setting.
4. Then I burn my Quicktime movies to a CD.
Any suggestions for improving my efficiency?

"For DVDs that will play in DVD players..."
If what you want is just to make copies of a DVD you burned yourself (eg using iDVD or your DVD camcorder) there is a simpler way: just create an image of the DVD on your desktop using Disk Utility, and then burn it using Disk Utility.
You need to go into the process of copying the VIDEO_TS folder only if you want to make changes to it. For example you might need myDVDEdit, a very powerful free editor of the DVD structure (to change the menu button behaviour, or so). Or maybe if the image is of a different size, from a small DVD to a large one.

It is Any suggestions for improving Oracle Tools GUI performance?

Does anyone have any suggestions for improving the GUI performance of Oracles Java Tools? Response to events is very sloooow i.e. click on a menu in Oracle Directory Manager wait three seconds before the menu items appear.
System Environment:
Dell Inspiron 8100
Windows XP Pro
256MB Ram
1 GHz
Oracle:
Oracle91 Enterprise Edition 9.0.1.1.1
Other:
No non Oracle Java components installed (JDKs, JREs etc.)
Thanks

If the database and the tools are just on the one box more memory is probably required. I had an nt box with 500MHz 256MB and Oracle 9i and the java tools were unusable. I upgraded to 768MB of ram and the java tools were much quicker. I use the java tools on my laptop 256MB and 800MHz and they work fine for remote databases (ie. no rdbms on the laptop).

How to make suggestion for improvements in LR

How do I make suggestions for new features or improvements in LR?
The stacking function, IMO, needs to be improved. The time between shots does not take into account the length of exposure. For example if my exposure is 5 seconds the stacking exposure will not add the two exposures together in the time setting < 4 seconds.
Ideally I would like to see an HDR stacking function, looks at time between exposures (taking into account the length of exposure) and changes in exposure.
ideally there would be similar options for pans and focus stacking.
Thanks

Where can i submit suggestions for improvement of email?

I have a few suggestions to improve the email program used on the iPhone and iPad. How do I get them to Apple to be considered in the next iOS update? First suggestion is the ability to "mark" contacts when sending to multiple email contacts. Currently you have to select one for the "to" field then return to contacts to select the next one. Should be able to bring up contacts list and place a check beside each one you want to send to and the hit "done" to populate the "to, cc, or bcc" fields.
The second suggestion is the ability to create email groups directly on the iPad/iPhone for frequent lists I send to.
The third suggestion is the ability to have a "read receipt" option so I know that the email was delivered and read.
Thanks,
Keith

Suggestions for improvements

hello guys.can u give me small suggestions to improve this site?
www.gogua.gr
i cant change it a lot because the owner like it this way (buttons logo etc) but some lines here and there or something like that could be nice

but i want the menu and the footer to be the same in my template.
can i do that without having to change manually the code for every
page? (to set the photo rollover image in the photo page for example) i
dont know if this is possible.
I offer a DW Extension that will automatically do this for you. You can put identical menu code on each page on the site (in your case by using a Template) as well as the divaGPS Extension, and then let divaGPS handle the you-are-here menu highlighting for you.
Usually on this forum I suggest the free version of divaGPS, however because you are using an image-based menu, you would need to buy the paid version. It's not expensive and honestly would make your site more user-friendly. You can learn more about it here:

Suggestions for improving sharing

Since Adobe Review is discontinued, I used with a couple of clients the new creative cloud sharing and I found some missing features or improvements needed:
1. When a client is reviewing a file (i.e. a picture) he must input the email address to post a comment, this is annoying since I sent the review email to his address, so it's already verified.
2. An important improvement would be a way to make a note (or link a comment) on a specific part of the picture/text so the comment can be highlighted in the context.
3. I'd like also to receive a notification of new comments or see on the dashboard if new comments are present on a file, so I can review all the latest comments.
4. There could be a button for "approval", if I put several versions of a work, client can approve the one he likes.
Maybe some features are still present, please tell me if I'm wrong.
thanks

Thank you for the suggestions. Improvements with sharing and collaboration are coming. You can read more here on this Adobe blog post http://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/coming-soon-to-creative-cloud/.

Nokia Maps - suggestions for improvement

Been using Nokia Maps Navigationon my E61i for a month now, previously I used Telenav on my E62.
The interface on Telenav is more intuitive / user friendly, Nokia Maps is confusing. I am getting used to it, but still.
Trip duration (lower right corner), at least that is what I assume it to be. It is off completely the entire trip. We use a TomTom Go910 for the family and it is off on its initial estimate but then it adjusts as you drive along. On a trip from Oklahoma City to Wichita Falls it estimated the trip to be 3.5 hours. Actual distance was only 165 miles, so a little bit over 2 hours. It its current design this feature is worthless. By the way Telenav has this figured out.
Airport Codes:
Driving back to OKC, I realize that a keyword search on OKC (the official airport code for Oklahoma City) only results in tens of matches of businesses with OKC in the name. But no air port. If you want to be serious about business travel this needs to work. Same for car rental return locations at the airport.
After a few hours of use the E61i crashes and restarts itself.

The indicator at the bottom right of my Nokia Maps screen shows the remaining estimated journey time. This seems to me to be one of the most useful features. The only refinement I'd like to see is an option to toggle between this and an estimated arrival time.
With regard to search, there is a lot of scope for improvement here, given that this is the search that the software defaults to when you enter text directly without selecting an option. This should allow any kind of searching - i.e. post or zip code, place name etc. In the UK, the post code is the most useful type of search, but is not enabled via this inout - you have to go to address search to input a postcode. The app should have the intelligence to recognise the type of input and act accordingly.
Another much-needed improvement would be to improve the access to searching for the address from contacts - as this is a pretty obvious way for people using a smartphone to ssearch it should be there among the first level opetion - not buried as an option under address search.
Also, the options should be arranged with more consistent thought as to which will be most used, for example, under the "Landmarks" menu, Route From, Route To, and Navigate To, are in the midlle - requirig more keypresses than Delete Landmark, Edit Landmark, Show Details or Serach Nearby! Seems like a lapse in the quality control there doesn't there?
A great, and easy improvement (because the code is already there) would be to use the Voice-Independent name recognition capability of recent phones to select stored Landmarks and recent destinations - I'm surprised this feature isn't there already.

Suggestions for improving adaptibility of Profit Centre functionality

Hi,
I have recently introduced the Profit Centre functionality in my customer organisation.
I found that by incorporating following feature will help in a big way for implementation of this feature.
1.There should be a setting in configuration (may be document wise or General), whether the Profit Centre (Distibution Rule) is mandatory or optional ? Y/N.
2.Provison for setting up default profit centre against Items(Sales/Purchase).
By introduction of above two setting SAP B1 customer organisation will be able to easily implement the profit centre functionality.Because the control will remain with the administrator to make profit centre/Distribution Rule entry mandatory in all transactions effecting accounts and as default distribution will come from Item master so users will happily adopt this functionality, and the Management will receive the important and difficult to prepare information.
Hope the SAP B1 Product development will team accept this and consider this development request for future release.
Thanking in Advance,

Hello Samir,
As suggested at the other thread, you can utilize 'Post Transaction Notification' feature of MS SQL. This can help you to set any validation for most of the fields, objects and actions in the product incl. Profit Centers.
We are planning certain enhancements regarding Cost Accounting functionality for the next major releases after 8.8. We'll consider your idea as a part of it.

Suggestion for improving playlist functionality

Aside from reinstating the ability to open playlists in separate windows I'd like to see iTunes support per playlists default playback settings that would be set at the point a playlist is selected. These settings would include whether shuffle and crossfade was on and which particular EQ setting should be used for that playlist. For example I have a podcast only playlist and for that I always want shuffle and crossfade off and the EQ to be the Spoken Word preset. For music playlists I'm likely to want shuffle and crossfade on with the EQ set off.

Suggestion for improving battery life with Reminders in iOS5 on iPhone 4

I am experimenting with a location-based reminder, and once again the Location icon is permanently on and my battery is being drained. I'm not a programmer but I have a couple ideas:
Use the accelerometer in the phone to determine if it's moving, and then start looking for location.
Most people, when they're at work, are at work for several hours, so there's no benefit to polling for location while you're sitting at your desk. Perhaps the phone could learn your routine and know not to look for location between say, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Or you could have a setting to explicitly tell it not to poll during the week between certain hours.
This would make Reminders more useful. Also is there better battery management for this stuff on the 4S? Is that another benefit?
Thanks!

Moving toward a click-less OS: a suggestion for improving the Mac interface

This is a long post, so if you have a short attention span, or are not interested in UI design, have a nice day and move on to the next post!
A little history first. Back in the days of OS 7 and earlier, I recall a feature lacking from the OS that was really important. For a long time, Apple did not use sticky menus, and you had to use a third-party extension to have the ability to click once on a menu heading and have the pop down menu display and stay there without having to hold the mouse down. Around OS 8 or so I recall that they made sticky menus part of the OS and all applications, and that was a welcome ergonomic improvement. No need to click and hold when we explore menus. What I plan to talk about in this post is a similar improvement -- one designed to facilitate the easy exploration of files and folders while completely eliminating the need to click at all.
My idea was inspired by another feature of OS 8 (or thereabouts). This was the ability to display the files in a folder as buttons. This allowed the user to launch the application/file with a single click, rather than the ergonomically bad double-click required in previous OS's. (You could still select a file without launching it by clicking the label rather than the icon.) This very useful feature went away in OS X. So one is back to double clicking to launch all documents, photos, movies, or whatever. If you are editing hundreds of pictures in a folder as I am, and double clicking them to launch PREVIEW for a quick inspection, you start to develop problems with the tendons in the wrist. I have to switch hands regularly to deal with the fatigue.
The elimination of buttons was a huge step backward for me in OS X. It is simply not acceptable to have to double click files to launch them. I think a future OS -- truly improved, not just one with more flash -- must solve this problem. As I thought about how it should be implemented, I realized there is a much better and more general solution than that offered by buttons. One that allows the examination of files without ever clicking at all.
Imagine a folder with multiple file types: photos, mp3's, movies, text edit files, etc, and assume the files are displayed as icons (although my suggestion would work with list view as well). You see a jpg thumbnails and want to see some of them at full size. Or you see a song and want to hear it, or a movie and want to view it. Now imagine that there is a special "preview" mode which allows you to easily and quickly examine the contents of the files without having to launch them in an application by double clicking, then close the window with another click, go on to the next icon of interest, and do this again, and again, and again until your hand is ready to fall off. Instead, you toggle an assigned key (say F5), or select an appropriate menu choice in the Finder, in order to activate what I shall call dynamic preview mode (DPM). With DPM, whenever you move the cursor over a file icon you get a preview. For example, moving the cursor over a jpg file would immediately expand it to full size on the screen. The image would stay up for as long as the cursor remained over the file's icon (which may not be visible). Moving the cursor off the icon causes the preview image to "collapse" back into the file icon. Moving the cursor over another jpg would cause its image to expand to full size until you moved on to the next, and so on. Note that you are able to view ALL of the jpg images without ever clicking the mouse once, well enough twice. There isn't any way I can think of to make reviewing large numbers of images easier. All you have to do is move the mouse around and the images appear and disappear dynamically, without you doing anything other than moving the mouse. Since you would have to do that anyway to select a file for launching under OS X, DPM brings the effort down to the bare bones minimum (short of using a slide show -- but that has other problems, which is why I don't use it except at the end for the fully edited pics). Think of DPM as a super convenient way to browse images without launching applications, closing windows, double-clicking, and so on. When you find an image that you might want to do something with, say edit the color balance in Photoshop, you then launch it using the appropriate application.
Of course, applications are indeed launched during DPM. But not in the usual way. No doubt the Preview app would be used to handle the display of the jpg's in DPM but it would be modified somewhat for dynamically viewing images. When the cursor goes over a jpg, Preview opens it and displays it, but not in the usual window with a close box, but just as a simple untitled pane showing the image. And as soon as the cursor moves the pane disappears. Likewise, there is no Preview menu bar showing at the top of the screen, because Preview is only used for dynamic display, not editing of the jpg. Now, the user might want to launch the parent application when placing the cursor over the icon because they want to use the application to do something with it (besides viewing or listening). No problem. We simply design DPM so that when the option key is pressed while the cursor is moved over a file icon, it fully launches the application with the file, just as it now does when you double click the file icon. You get the usual titled window, application menu bar, etc. But note that you get the application running with the file loaded without having to double click. This click-less OS interaction, of course, could be implemented right now since it is a only a minor tweak on the OS.
What about other file types? Putting the cursor over an mp3 file (or other supported format) would start playing the song, and putting the cursor over a movie file would start playing the movie, again in an untitled pane. Presumably Quicktime would be used to handle both of these latter two tasks, but without launching in the usual way and taking over the menu bar. Putting the cursor over a text or RTF file would display it in a pane (possibly using Text Edit). More complicated file types (word processor, spreadsheet, statistical, etc.) would probably not be supported in a first-generation DPM. But jpg, mp3, mov, txt, and rtf files could be easily handled using just three applications that come with every Mac. Also, "compressed" stickie notes could now be deposited individually anywhere, in any folder or on the desktop, and putting the cursor over the note would expand it to full view. With the current OS, we need to run the stickies app which displays ALL the sticky notes at once, and which constrains them to the desktop only, both of which are serious limitations.
Of course, once we have DPM users will want to complicate things -- they always do. For example, they'll want the mp3 preview to have a play bar with a bug to position in the song, volume control, etc, just like the Quicktime player. But be careful what you ask for, or we are right back with full fledged apps loading with a menu bar and a window that has to be closed, and that defeats the point of a click-less preview. This is because any interaction the user might wish to have with the viewer or player will require moving the cursor, and in DPM that would normally cause the preview to cease. That's the point, after all. So I would argue that dynamic preview should be kept very simple: cursor on the icon opens a preview, cursor off the icon closes the preview.
Would this be enormously difficult to do? No. It is already being done -- kind of. For any of the file types discussed above, you can click on the file icon, then press command-I (Get Info), and you will see a preview at the bottom of the info box. If it is a pic, that's all you get. If a song or movie, you can play it. Unfortunately, if it is an rtf file, no preview is displayed -- kind of odd, that. (How hard is it to display some text?) The only thing not offered in the command-I previews for pics and movies is a full (or at least larger) screen preview. But that shouldn't be too difficult since Preview and Quicktime allow that as a matter of course.
Oh yeah. We can add folder icons to the list of icons supported by DPM. Right now, if I want to quickly peek at some folders just to see what they contain, I have to double-click each one to open it, and then click on the close box to close it again. With dynamic preview activated, all I would do is move the cursor over the folder icon and it would immediately expand to its usual size showing whatever contents can be seen in that view. Moving the cursor would make the folder collapse again. Again, all that is need to examine the contents of folders would be to move the cursor around. That's it.
(Don't get greedy -- you might want a scroll bar for the folder preview, but that defeats the point of a quick preview and would require cursor movement which, with DPM, would close the folder preview. Again, holding the option key down while placing the cursor over the folder icon could open the folder in the usual way, without needing to double click. But as with option-launched previews for images and the like, you will have to close the preview window yourself.)
Now, I do not think think dynamic preview should be activated out of the box, at least not at this point. Inexperienced users will be confused to see things popping up on the screen when they are moving the cursor around (or hearing songs). But for experienced users who have thousands of files archived in dozens of folders who need to quickly and easily examine them without the steps required now -- double-click, look or listen, close -- this would be a real improvement in the UI, one that would really make a difference. One, that once a user tried it (just like the first Mac OS) would make them say "I'll never go back!"
In closing, I must post a question, or fear being chastised for not following discussion group rules. So, what are the technical obstacles to doing what I am suggesting, and who else would like to see it done? (And, yes, I am sending these suggestions to Apple, so no need to tell me that.)

I agree with you totally... except the clickless preview though, since Apple doesn't like to give you options to turn stuff off or not use it at all if they go to the trouble of putting it in the OS!
Well, they give you the option to display the contents of a folder in list, icon, or column view. So why can't you have the option to view files with and without dynamic previewing? It is the dynamic equivalent (off vs on) of the static options provided by list, icon, and column view. Also, by the logic you give above (for Apple), one should not have preferences, because that makes the functioning of the OS or app different from one user to the next. And as a counter example, the features of the OS for people with disabilities are great to have, but they are not active just because they are there. One has to want to use them...
And if you think about it, Expose is an optional utility, as is Dashboard. Some people use them, some don't. DPM would be the same.
Every new OS release makes me spend a lot of time learning how to shut off/disable things like Spotlight, Dashboard, Time Machine, Transparent Dock & Menubar, ad infinitum!
Me too. Although I have learned to like Spotlight (although it has bugs), and the dock.
Did I ever tell you Leopard's System Preferences icon in the Dock looks like a Skull & Crossbones to me?
If you close one eye & squint the other one until it does to you, then you'll get an idea what OSX looks like to me... LOL.
I tried, but couldn't conjure it up! I must have too limited an imagination.
BTW, Are you aware you can select as many things to view at once as you want & drag them to say Preview's icon?
Sure. Have you ever selected several hundred pics and launched preview? Ca-chunk, ca-chunk, ca-chunk, wheez! It is quicker and less demanding of system resources to view one jpg at a time, unless you want to compare them in some way or do a slide show. But for just exploring the files, I want to do it one at a time, especially if iTunes is playing in the background, Photoshop is running and waiting to load a pic that I might decide to edit, mail is up to let me know if anyone is trying to reach me (ding!), Safari is running so I can follow Apple Discussions, etc. In other words, a lot is going on. No need to make matters worse by loading a bunch of pics into Preview, when I am happy to view them singly. This is why I object to the Cover Flow aspect of Quick Look and Safari 4.0. It is just another way to dog down limited system resources.
