my wish list for my eris

[patches152]

obviously, aside from the other listed 2.1 upgrades/improvements....

mine is:

1) better native attachment support for gmail. sending audio files, gifs, anything besides a jpg or some kind of document, it's horrible.

2) gif support for browser. lots of sites i go to (forums and image boards) post gifs, but they don't show animated.

3) better organization for sd card directories. i don't like how the 3rd party apps for backgrounds can't save to a standard media folder. it creates their own, and then you have 90 folders in your album view. takes forever to render thumbnails also.

4) alternative "themes" for the non-gmail inbox. maybe offer threaded convo style, or show sent messages in the main folder

5) a fully functioning facebook app that has alerts for all events facebook is capable of supporting.



what do you guys want for your eris?

 

[mitchell.23]

Im with you on the gif support for the browser and better folder organization.
I'd also like to see a better way of interacting with music also. The music apps just seem like file browsers to me. Plus a better way to switch between running apps would be nice too.

 

[patches152]

or at least make 'em animated with less steps.

the music thing is a good point, i use pandora mostly, so i don't deal with it as much as i did with other phones.

 

[mitchell.23]

I've found myself using pandora a lot more as well. Just easier than the playlist setup in music apps plus they do a pretty good job with music discovery. I even did the paid version since I've been using out so much cuz I hit the 40 hour wall.

I agree with your facebook point as well. Lets see full functionality.

And I want sync with google tasks.

a decent (as in iphone quality) facebook app is way up there on my list.

a native file browser (which is what i think is keeping the phone from having proper attachment support)

a nicer music app (although the one for sense is far better than the stock app)

APPS ON THE SD CARD.

APPS ON THE SD CARD.

+1...GIF support would be great as well.

i would really like Bluetooth transfer to work

How about better signal strength? I realize this may be more hardware related, but the signal on my wife's Eris just plain stinks.

@ms960 - you should look into going to your Verizon store and asking for the Hybrid PRL. This will allow your Eris to detect both Alltel and Verizon towers. I had horrible service (at most 1 bar), then I went to my Verizon store and had them put my number on a list to have the PRL sent to my phone. I have never had less then 3 bars since and 99% of the time it is full 3G coverage with 4 bars. It also helps with battery life.

I would like to be able to sync my facebook calendar with my google calendar...
