- Let's make a list of where the new features in 10.2 fell short.
1) Lock screen notifications - I can long-press the camera on the lock screen, why not the notifications?
2) Customizable settings drop-down menu. We saw previews for a better menu, but it's nowhere to be seen
3) Priority hub - Flagged emails, even really old ones, all show as priority. Priority marking needs an option to remove priority mark on read messages.
4) Priority hub - No separate notification for messages marked as priority. There should be a separate notification setting (LED, sound, etc...) for messages marked as priority. This way you're actually alerted to priority and high importance messages.

- One of the simplest but frequently used applications around, the music player is unchanged or barely changed. This still lacks the features and funnctionality that has been standard for years on other devices. No, all songs/tracks category, no equaliser, no ability to specify a music directory rather than blindly just scooping up every audio file on the device and treating it as a music file to be played as such, no facility for continuous play sequential or shuffled when a single track has been selected.
On my Nokia devices I was able to have control over background network connections, a huge battery and data saver, why does BlackBerry not allow this level of control and sophistication? Not up to it?
What is the point in an app(lication) manager that does not manage applications. Why does BBM restart seconds after being shut down. Not everyone lives their entire lives through that messaging application and doesn't need it running 24/7, forcing a data connection and sucking the battery dry at an alarming rate.
The browser changes were off target. The address bar auto hiding just introduces more fiddling about to operate the browser Yes, it needed shrinking but not turning into a jumping bean. At least allow the user the option to set auto hiding. Yes I know BlackBerry goes into cold shivers at the thought of allowing it's users options, preferring to dumb it down and be over prescriptive. Page rescaling upon zoom would be great. Opera have been doing it for years in their mobile browser so go on, take a peek for some clues BB. Why are the bookmarks still as good as filed in random order. You never know where your bookmarks are going to be in the list from one use to the next. How about something radical like alphabetical order or push the boat out and allow the user to arrange their own bookmarks, like on real computers.
Maybe too much to ask in an "minor" update but BlackBerry Maps is still at the bottom of the pile when it comes to pre loaded mapping applications. How about dumping it and starting again with a quality much more versatile off line application. Like real Sat Navs (and Nokia) do it!

- Not sure if this is a shortcoming or not. I guess it's not a big deal but why do I have to click on the mail icon on the lock screen in order to see the message previews? For example, on my iPad, I can see the message preview appear on the lock screen right away without having to click anywhere first. Wish there was an option to enable the preview to display automatically.10-24-13 08:14 AMLike 0
- Like in blackberry balance where you can separate data for Personal and Work, they could add Guest place so if ever someone borrows your phone, they wont be able to access your personal data (inbox, mails, social networks etc.). It is also best if they would not require you to get BES for it.10-24-13 08:27 AMLike 3
- Maybe on yours, but not mine. No leaks official to official. On a side note, taking a screen shot no longer makes the camera noise.

Enough pics for you? I even threw in the bounce back to show I wasn't hiding anything up or down.

Posted via CB1010-24-13 08:31 AMLike 0 - My only issue where i feel 10.2 has fallen short is if you are running BBM channels beta, you cant use the dark theme on BBM. This is stupid and ******** beyond belief. Surely Blackberry need to release BBM channels as an official add on or something or at least update BBM to incorporate it.
The other issue where i feel they have fallen down is the instant previews, as great as they are...they need to give us timeout options for them as i find they are too quick to close down and you miss being able to reply to them.
Other than that i havent found any real issues with 10.2, its much more faster and snappier i find.10-24-13 08:58 AMLike 0 -
Do you people do this to the manufacturer or your cars, TV ect? There are a ton of features I'd like to see in my car that aren't there that maybe others have.
Posted from my Z10. via CB1010-24-13 09:51 AMLike 3 - "Fall short" makes sense if this was the FINAL version. The fact that the OS continues to evolve means that at the very least, some of what is missing now might be incorporated over time. I think BBRY has done a terrific job with this update and I look forward to more as the OS gets more polished.tdaye and Keith Atkinson1 like this.10-24-13 09:55 AMLike 2
- GROUP CONTACTS
for email, SMS, whatever. The fact the original 10.0 didn't have this is bad enough, the fact we are now up to 10.2 w/o group contacts is just plain sad.
My wife's work-issued 8800 running BBOS 4.0 even has this feature but my Q10 doesn't? insane
And there's no way her company (huge) would ever upgrade to BB10 until they can have different contact groups for different sets of employeesLast edited by DustBow; 10-24-13 at 10:21 AM.

And the reason I asked for pics is its easier to see differences between settings without trying to explain selves, so no need to be snarky we are trying to help you.

The browser option only brings up browser history.

One other quick tip, just like on the Q10, you can hold the shift key to select a block of text quicker. Just drop the circle edit at the start of your selection, hold shift, and click at the end of your selection. Works magic.

i mean if every state their problems and issues with blackberry in one place/many
then that's even better cause there might be a chance of these improvements happening, even a slight bit.
If it is all positive then blackberry will continue to do what they want want without including some honest views.
just my thought on it
