Suggestion: Reply/Action from lock scree

**pranavvk** · 02-06-2013, 04:50 AM

Planning on getting a Q10 as soon as it launches, but I suddenly had a thought.
If you are in the lock screen, you can launch the camera app by holding down the camera button. Why cant you tap the event notification (the email symbol or text symbol or whatever) and be shown your last notification.
If you press and hold down the notification you should be allowed to reply to it. If its a text, it gets sent as sms, email replied by email, etc.

Cant be too difficult to implement can it?

Also, since it seems that Blackberry will probably be viewing the CB forums a lot, (they would be silly if they didnt),i think the CB team should start a sub-forum where people can give suggestions.

I dont think this would be a good idea, it completely takes away from the purpose of that lock screen. if it was possibel to reply to emails, etc from the lock screen all someonewould have to do is wait for an email or SMS , etc is recieved and they can get in and read or reply to it.

The worst that can happen currently is someone takes a picture or video!

I agree, a lock screen means just that, a locked screen. It defeats the object if you can respond to email etc...

Of course if there is a password then this should be disabled.
This should only be enabled if there is no security measure.
