What BB features would you like to see return to BB10
- Optional $5-$10 BIS plans I am very willing to pay more for it on top of my already big data plan, please allow for it!!world traveler and former ceo and mzceetee like this.02-06-13 09:45 AMLike 2

EDIT: here is the app Onavo | Free apps and advice how to get more our of your data plan, at home and abroad - we can ask them to make it for BB 10.02-06-13 10:27 AMLike 0 - SOUND PROFILES - I need one for bedtime, one for meetings, one for when I am out and its difficult to hear my phone.
INDIVIDUAL CONTACT SOUND PROFILES - I used to be able to put texts on vibrate from certain contacts. This is not an option anymore. I can now only customize to certain ring tone sound.
WORD SUBSTITUTION - I could type something like "gna" and it would automatically change it to "going to" because I had set it up as a word substitute.
I am not bashing blackberry either, I love it. But I am really surprised to not see a lot of these little things that BB users have become reliant on.mzceetee likes this.02-06-13 10:35 AMLike 1 -
- I'm not needing it for compression; I just want it for Push. I so very miss instant sync emails. It just doesn't feel like a berry without it!
In Apple and Android, I think there is an app called Onavo or something that does data compression. I think there is also a VPN app in Android/Apple that does data compression. So, if you are asking for BIS for data compression, you may want to look into data compression apps/VPN providers. Maybe we can request them to make it available on BB 10 as well.

- Proper and functioning Bedside Mode. Customizable notifications with LED control. Option to enable everything to go through BIS for when I want to travel Internationally, or if I want to save bandwidth. The fact that we have to say that we want it to do things a BlackBerry is supposed to do is sad. Pretty sure they are still selling this device under the name BlackBerry. I expected everything the old phone could do, plus great apps and media support. Seems like they didn't put up a list of BBOS features that the in-house devs had to check off.02-06-13 03:16 PMLike 0
- 1. I am missing out of everything the ability to set the length of the vibration when a notification comes in. I was a huge fan of a short vibrate and then let the LED inform me of the source.
2. Also in relation with having everything on short vibrations, I miss being able to choose that all notifiers are on vibrate with the exception of my phone ringer.
Most other little things have already been mentioned so I wont repeat.02-06-13 07:03 PMLike 0 - I agree with this as a whole, that's what set us apart from other platforms the Blackberry uniqueness of customizing our device to our desire from sound profiles,customizable notifications with LED control ect...,renewal of the old with the new but keep it BLACKBERRY...02-06-13 08:02 PMLike 0
- 1. Calendar Alarms - I use my Calendar for EVERYTHING so this is key for me. Setting up appointments is one thing and having a reminder on it is another, but a separate alarm is what I relay on daily. I have probably 3-4 separate alarms on a daily basis: wake up, leave for work, go to the gym, take medication, etc. So this is probably my #1 thing I want to see come back.
2. "Files" Management - In the old BB OS I was able to edit a file more so than you can with BB10. I liked being able to hide files, hide folders and hide apps, for instance. Hiding apps I don't use very often but I may want to use one day, for instance Smart Tags or Print ToGo, helped me keep the clutter out of my phone. I use to make folders for apps that I never used like my e-mail accounts, text messages app or apps I wont use. Hiding files I don't want people to start sifting through important work documents but are still important for me to access on the go was important to me and once I got home, I could transfer it safely to my computer and unhide the file(s).
4. More Settings - Being able to view Device Settings and Advanced System Settings in particular. I understand some of the settings from Device is now separated elsewhere but some of the settings I just can't find. Also, Advanced System Settings - Being able to go into View/ Delete Service Book's, Browser Push settings, Default Services and the like. I want to be able to feel like I can have some advanced settings as a whole oppose to being locked out and using the basic settings like other phones.
2. I want an email icon (I am always going to use gestures to get to the hub but if I have to hand my phone to somebody who is not familiar with BB 10, I want that person to be able to click on email icon to get to hub->emails)
3. I want trackpad for better/faster precision and faster copy/paste of text. Trackpad makes text-manipulation/text-editing much faster.
4. I want status bar to show # of notifications and kinds of notifications. BB 7 will show you # emails, #text message icon, #whatsapp messages, battery life, signal strength. I want that stuff visible in-app as well.
5. Fine grained sound profiles
3. While I agree with you here i believe is just a matter of getting used to it, it was the same dilemma when they moved from the trackball to the trackpad
4. some apps offer the view for the status bar, the notifications i think that is the whole peek idea to avoid some clutter at the top bar, once again i believe is just a matter of getting used to
Need to see the ability to customize bedside mode return.. including being able to set it to automatically switch the sound profile to 'phone calls only' like we used to.
Would also like to see the social feeds app back
And would like to be able to set individual volumes per notification, and different sounds per email account.
Other then that i'm loving my z10!
Yes there is push email still, unless of course your email provider does not support it, but as far as i can tell you gmail is push email to receive and send, two way sync is a bit choppy as has always been with legacy devices
- EMAIL icon (swiping gesture to get to Hub is a great shortcut, but there should be an EMAIL icon!)
Calendar Alarms and Multiple Alarms - need to be able to set multiple alarms
- Ability to store emails for more than 30 days
- Option to delete from device, server, both
- Improved push (gmail emails seem delayed, probably a gmail issue but BB should figure out a workaround to make it instant)
Settings>>language and imput>>automated assistance>> is the first option at the top of the screen02-06-13 09:19 PMLike 0 - In Apple and Android, I think there is an app called Onavo or something that does data compression.

They will answer "email". I can't believe they are getting rid of BIS. The only reason I stayed with blackberry for so long and was left out of the app ecosystem android/apple has was because of BIS and now that's gone. Its a sad day for BIS lovers.Acumenight and NickUK like this.02-06-13 10:20 PMLike 2
- My wishlist for next OS update is here http://forums.crackberry.com/blackbe...update-768484/ (90% are probably just old BB OS 7 features)02-06-13 10:34 PMLike 0
- Totally agree! Glad someone has said it. I can live with everything else. BRING BACK BIS!

Mine is set to ON and even though Sync Interval is set to 15 minutes, my GMail messages get to my Z10 the same time they hit my GMail in box online.02-11-13 04:10 PMLike 0
- Me too. Back to my 9900. One thing I would like to see return to BB10 is me as a user when i don't have to wait 15 mins for an email. BlackBerry is BIS and BBM otherwise no different from the crowd.
