I have two simple wishes from the Mango devolopers)
1- Double tab to lock screen wake ( like MeeGo OS , nokia)
2- Different colours for the answer / call - end button's background ( maybe red or orange for END)
I know it is too late but I think these two makes my Focus very happy maybe in later updates.
Sadly, mango won't be enough to make me keep my focus. Trading it in for an Atrix tomorrow. I just need a real file system, more dev support, custom kernels, WiFi tether, a real maps app, no zune, and customization.

I used to have all of them ; ios, android, symbian ; yes when you had them you got all flexibility but I like the Winmo 7's simple , elegant and conservative design . They can easly add these kind of minor changes to the new firmwares. I hope one of the Microsoft's windows mobile 7 devoloper reading this forum
It's too late for Mango since it's already RTM, but there will be updates in the future, we can hope some of MS's developers browse these forums.
I really wish they would allow us to pin settings (e.g. WiFi, etc) to the home screen.
wifi tether guys..
1. A timer, to allow the locksreen to require a password after a set amount of time.
2. A way to change the SMS notification so it doesn't just display on the screen (maybe when the device needs a password to enter). Or make it so you change stop when certain programs are running, Ex. Netflix

Thanks, but isn't that the same option as before. That the Lockscreen comes on after a set amount of time? what I'm referring to, is for a timer to make needing a password activate.
EX. I lock my screen (turn the screen off) step away for like an hour, when I come back the password is required to acess the phone. So, basically a way to set the password for 60 minutes. *60 minutes is just an example*
****EDIT**** I see the option now after you enter a pw. Thanks for the help!!!
WiFi calling.
Sent from my HD7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
1. show two appointment in calendar tile.
2. create reccuring appoint on first tuesday of every month.
3. call duration in call list.
This whole Mango thing has turned out to be too little, too late, all features are just propaganda, first dont offer them and than add them as if you have improvised and added 500 features.
Battery Percentage on the title bar.
Disabling vibrator on Back, Home and Search buttons (Samsung Focus)
WiFi and 3G toggle, on the home screen perhaps ?

1. OH YES!
We need a notification centre, like swipe right from the homescreen to get it or something.

+1 to Wifi and 3g toggle. It'd be cool to toggle it based on your location as well, such as turn off wifi and turn on 3g when I leave certain areas.
1. Have a "Send SMS" option when ignoring calls. The old "I am unable to answer your call but will return it as soon as possible" text option available on WM6 and Android.
2. Make Bluetooth sound routing configurable. For instance, I don't want my Alarms going through my Bluetooth headset. I use this phone as an alarm clock when I travel an if I happen to leave my Bluetooth headset on at night the "Alarm" rings through the Bluetooth headset only. I am not wearing it while sleeping so I don't hear it.
3. Add more space between talk/end key and move them down away from the mute key. Way too much empty space below talk/end and they are crammed right up the mute key's butt. I have hung up many a call just trying to mute it.
4. Colorize the phone keypad. It is just blank outline and looks terrible. Worse looking keypad on any phone I have ever seen.
5. Make the icons at the top bar interactive, so when I tap the battery icon, I can see the percentage of battery left, or tap the wifi icon I can see where I am connected, etc.
6. Make the square tiles resizable, especially if they are not live tiles. I don't need such a huge icon for IE, Marketplace, Zune. I could condense these into the same space as one tile currently.
7. Make the ability to add sub tiles to a single tile. For instance have a double wide tile, let me add in all the messaging tiles, so I can have Outlook, text, hotmail, gmail, etc. notifications all on one double wide tile rather than take 5 normal tiles and the space these require.
8. Make a "Favorite People" tile on the home screen so I can list out 5 or 6 people in a single double wide tile. People I call every day. Reduce the space it takes to have favorite people on the homepage.
9. Make the default tiles interesting. All of the default tiles are just plain white text. really MS couldn't have made a better looking messaging or IE tile? Just looks plain and boring, not what I want on my phone's homescreen.
10. A mute option for sound. It only goes to vibrate, sometime I just need to be sure my phone is not going to vibrate or ring or make any noise whatsoever, and I cannot be sure of this with these volume controls. Also separate the phone volume from the system sound volume. Never should these be integrated.
11. Add the ability to synchronize contact info across platforms. Today i can "link" them on the phone, but if the phone gets the picture for a contact from Linkedin or Facebook, it doesn't actually update the contact in Outlook. It just links them on the phone. I want this same info synchronized across outlook, google voice, hotmail, etc. not just linked on the phone. WM6 did this.
12. Ability to see what mode wifi is operating in, maybe some speed details. Such as b/g/n, 48mbps, 120mbs, etc.
13. Make Bluetooth work with my Motorola carkit.
14. The ability to backup SMS.
15. The ability to forward SMS. Many things I want to forward, but can't.
16. The ability to delete a single SMS without deleting the whole conversation. Someone sends an inappropriate picture or text I want to delete just that text or forward that text, not the whole 6 months worth of conversation strings.
17. Autodownload images in email. Don't make me tap "Download images" every single time.
Enough requests for today....

8: Contact grouping is supported in mango, you can pin that group to your home screen. It is a single wide tile, though I don't think that makes much of a difference
15: I don't know that this is new in Mango, I thought we could do this along time ago?
16: This is in Mango
No. 16 is in Nodo too.. just tap and hold the single SMS in the whole convo which you want to delete and select delete from dropdown menu.. it will only delete that particular message and not the whole convo..
you are right, 15 and 16 are in Mango... scratch those.
As for 8, it places a single group box on the home screen, which then takes you to a sub group. I want the subgroup on the homescreen, just each item much smaller in a wide box. but the grouping is better than nothing for sure.
Additionally, I need to be able to get contacts from my Company Outlook Address Book. (GAL) I can only send email to individuals in my local Address book. I need to be able to pull up company contacts that are not in my address book also.

So you want the ability to click on a portion of the tile and for it to access the specific contact that you clicked on?
Hey everyone I’m switching from a jailbroken iPhone 4S to a Galaxy S3 AT&T. What similar apps and tweaks are available for the Galaxy S3 that I currently use on my iPhone? I also plan to root my S3 so any apps that are similar that require rooting are fine. Also any recommendations of cool tweaks, apps and ROMS are welcomed. I am new to this but I have read quite a bit. I like my phone looking totally different then everyone else’s. ☺
Any help is welcomed,
Thanks
Tweaks & apps I use on my iPhone:
Bite SMS – One can push the volume button and then tap the screen where it shows that volume being adjusted and quick composes a message. One may also quick reply without having to go into the native sms app, such as replying to a text message while in a game or in the music app.
- Features: “Quick Reply, Quick Compose, Passcode Lock, Delivery Reports”
Activator – One can set short cuts by customizing what a certain button or certain screen gestures such as pressing the home button three times and the camera flash turns into a flashlight. Another example is pressing the sleep button twice while listening to music and the phone will go to the next song in the playlist. Also one can set a gesture such as “pinching” an icon on the home screen and the email app will open in the compose new email window.
SBSettings - Simple shortcut utility allows you to access all of the system settings you toggle daily with a quick Activator action. For example, you could double tap your iPhone’s status bar to trigger a panel of settings, and adjust settings such as Bluetooth, wifi, 3G, brightness, kill background apps. Also have a toggle setting for the flash setting it as a flashlight on and off at an ease.
Tethering – Using the cellphones 3G or 4G to give out internet access by setting a wireless hotspot, Bluetooth or USB cable.
Folder Enhancer – unlimited amount of apps in any folder
Applocker – passcode apps and folders
Fake caller ID app
Lock screen quick features - camera app toggle and people you’d like to speed dial, flashlight
Remove running apps in the background with one touch
3G unrestrictor – run or download apps that are limited to only use while on wifi
Most of those things you can do without root.

Just go to play store and look mos of what you post is there w/o rooting. BTW.. welcome to S3 forum. I switch around year ago and i never look back...
I highly recommend reading as many guides as you can (twice) before you destroy your phone. There are a thousand ways you can end up with a 600 dollar paperweight.

This isn't a huge problem because everything works but it is an annoying item that seems like it should be able to be resolved. I have a widget created in Zooper for the counts of my sms messages and three gmail accounts. The issue is, that the widget doesn't update unless I turn the phone off and on again. So for example, I get an email and it shows a 1 next to that account. I go in gmail and read it. I press my home button to come back to the screen and the counter is still at 1. This doesn't change to 0 until I turn the phone off and on. It also will go to zero when the the minute changes on my zooper-made clock widget.
Any idea how to get my counts widget to update when I've read or cleared my notifications without having to turn my phone off or wait for the minute to change?
I use tasker for a few things and was hoping there was a way I could just set up a task that when I exit sms or gmail apps I can do a force update, but I haven't figured that out.
Thanks for you help
im facing the same problem dude hope a support would be able to explain
I think it's because zooper widget update value is set once per minute. If you will look closely widget updates when - unlock from lockscreen after some time or every time minute passes. It's solution to prevent battery drain. It don't monitor other states than minute change.
Can that be changed ?
Alright, so I was setting up my ls990 and during the setup of everything (apps/widgets/screens/you know) I managed, or perhaps my phone managed, to simply stop displaying lock screen shortcuts. I know what you may be thinking, no, there are no passwords, knock codes, pins, locks, mods, extras, or anything that *could* cause this.
It's a simple swipe to unlock, that's it, there are shortcuts 'set' in the lock screen settings as you'd expect, but no matter what fiddling, swiping, or press-and-holding I try will bring them back. Every last combination of settings and lock screen fidgeting and 'oops I deleted the default circle lock screen widget thingy but found out how to bring it back and also learned how to set the default lock screen page that will show when I turn the screen on'-ing will make them show again... So after on and off and mostly on playing around with it over the last 10 hours or so, and seeing how it is now 5 am where I live, and certainly the tunnel vision has set in or I'm just plain ol' dumb and/or incapable of swiping my own buttons, I'd figure that somewhere in the population of LG g3 owning & xda browsing intelligental(wo)mens there could be somebody to set my plain ol' dumb button pushing straight.
Any ideas?
Posting on the chrome browser from my nifty ls990 via my Wi-Fi connection, tanks.
Well anything? Need smart people please, I'll consider this a bump.
Do you see the Emergency Call box at the bottom? I just had that same issue, and it appeared to be triggered by a lack of signal or going into roaming mode. Setting the device into Airplane Mode brought the shortcuts back for me. Here's exactly what I did:
1. Set the device into Airplane Mode (I used the shortcut from the notification shade).
2. Lock the device.
3. Hit the power button to bring up the lock screen. Verified shortcuts were there.
4. Shut off Airplane Mode (once again, used shortcut).
Let me know if that works...
Hi there
Sometimes when I receive an email the notification will not show up on the phone, that is no sound and no led notification.
However as soon as I press the power button or unlock the screen the notification will pop up.
It is almost as if the device goes to sleep state when screen is turned off.
The emails that I miss at times due to this problem are time sensitive and really important for my work.
Such delays are at times resulting in direct monetary loss.
This was never an issue on my Galaxy Note 3 from which I have upgraded.
Can anyone of you guide and assist me as to which settings need to be changed to get it to work properly.
Many thanks for your time.
I have a simmilar issue here. Some notifications show up normally, like mail and facebook, but other apps only show notifications if i have they are opened.
It's like the system is forcing close those apps.

Still haven't found any solution.
Things I have tried :
1. Going to Power Master > Battery Mode > Balance
Thinking that in other modes it would kill background apps to save power.
2. Went to Power Master > Autostart Manager > Added apps I need notifications to start on system startup.
Apart from the mentioned problem, I see another one.
I opened What's app notification setting and turned Group Notifications off and Message notifications are set to show silently and minimize.
However the app itself changes the setting and forces messages on screen by itself over riding my changes. Have been happening since a long time now no matter how many times I change the settings.
Update if you can find any resolution.
