Guys, at least we know the info being posted in the thread is being forwarded to SE, Johan from SE devs forum has just confirmed he sent the feature request/bugs list to SE (ref to R4B03/P990)
This is the last update of the list:
1 - We need more usable RAM, or at least, less memory leaks. If you start with around 15-16mb (not considering RAM obtained with reclaims level 3 of Swiss Manager Pro), and if we would have that same ammount of RAM during the day, i would say multitasking would improve ALOT. If SE managed to get us more RAM at star by optimizing the firmware, even better. Truth is, depending on the type of apps used after boot, after one day you can have just 10-11mb, or 9-8mb usable RAM (if Opera is used alot). This also would help alot people that use push email, that suffer more from RAM shortages
2 - Opera is still not stable. Sometimes Opera closes down by itself when loading some web pages fully, something that doesnīt happen with opera mini. We expect to have acess to the new soon to be launched opera mobile 9. Its the list SE can do for us!
3 - Sound is LOW compared with normal SE phones (k750, w800). In an ambient with some other noise, like a gym, i have to use LCS Jukebox and put equalizer at max, and even so, the volume is not enough. Nothing has been done about this on all updates
4 - Where are the animated themes??? UIQ3 should have animated themes support, but we have nothing so far
4 - Camera software seems the same through all updates. There is too much noise reduction sometimes, making landscape photos "blured". People also report autofocus problems since the beggining. We miss a point to focus also on scree. Please work also the camera software.
5 - Today Screen on standby, why canīt we have it like it exists on W950 and M600?? We should have the option, this is the most expensive phone of SE after all
6 - Why canīt we change standby shortcut icons on FO mode, like on W950 and M600
7 - Like on w950, users should be alowed to turn off transitions
8 - Alarms donīt work when phone is off, like it happens on other SE phones. This is dumb. It can be serious sometimes
9 - User should decide if he wants light to be on when talking to someone
10 - Its not very important, but why light is on when phone is off, and charging?
11 - RSS app should work on FC, and have image, sound and video support. Its so basic right now that is unexplainable, specially compared in other SE phones rss reade, or even opera mini rss reader
12 - Image thumbnails on caller id, galleries, etc suffer from too much image compression. This was never corrected, never. They are full of artifacts
13 - Why alarms app, calculator, etc donīt work on FC???
14 - We should be able to remap what we want in terms of keyboard shortcuts
15 - Why canīt we put username and password on proxy settings for internet accounts
16 - PC Smartphones Suite needs update. We need more options, sms management, sms sending by pc (like Nokia suite), and of course, better backup app. People are always complaing about it.
17 - SE should be a bit more like Nokia regarding UIQ support. This is a perfect example
http://research.nokia.com/research/projects/index.html Nokia is launching really free apps for users frequently, all we have is a useless file explorer and a screen capture app
18 - Some users with exact same firmware experience frequent restarts, even on calls, while others donīt have none. Why is that?? SE should find a way to make every user get the same results after flashing
19 - If we let camera app stay on background (and other apps too), battery life will be seriously affected
20 - We should be alowed to make back button close apps instead of just putting them on background
21 - Keyboard shortcuts for camera that exist in every other SE phone are missing...why??? we need those
22 - Sometimes camera app takes alot to load, or just doesnīt work (needs to be closed, then started again)
23 - SE should consider an update to UIQ 3.1 to save its seriously damaged image because of initial UIQ3 firmwares and lack of comunication with users
24 - Why arenīt UIQ3 phones SIP capable? (the feature is on UIQ 3.1 i know, but should also be on this generation phones)
25 - So far we only can record videos on 3GP format. AFAIK we should be able to record in the superior MP4 format...this feature is missing so far
26 - Signing process seems to be too hard/pricey for small developers. Also, its hard to sign freeware apps. SE should also try to change this
27 - Why UIQ3 phones have no flash lite support when alot of ordinary and much cheaper SE phones have it??? Makes no sense
28 - Why canīt SE make a easier way for people to know if there is a new firmware for their devices, instead of having to turn off the phone and connect to SEUS everytime?
29 - Please start publishing changelogs with every firmware version
30 - Calendar alarms appear to use the phone's Alarm sound rather than the specifc calender alarm sound - this can be anoying!!!
31 - Calendar alarms show the hour of the reminder and not the hour of the appointment when ringing
32 - More than 6 months after P990 launch, we never got acess to a higher capacity battery, a must have for some people on the road
33 - Sometimes phone reboots upon conecting via usb to PC
34 - Would be usefull to be able to change Backlight timer into 10,20,30 sec
35 - We would like to be able to use the camera led has Flashlight (as on k750/w850)
36 - Password protection on inbox & folders is another missing feature
37 - On the messaging folders, we should be able to move and copy messages on all types of folders, not just inbox
38 - Another simple feature missing is being able to use front cam can take picture
39 - Improvement on Java performance has been required for long. Java 3d games that work great on less powerfull phones like the k750, are too slow on the P990
40 - People report a 4gb msduo problem (experience a delay when taking video saved on 4gb msduo)
41 - There is missing support on external flash accesories
42 - We all saw some prototype P990s that can record radio broadcast. Why this feature is missing???
43 - People report problems between sound and video sync when recording videos
44 - Most SE phones can record calls. That should also be on UIQ phones
45 - Also, clock on standby mode is missing
46 - Faster app loading, and faster boot
47 - Manual equalizer on media player
48 - Status view in FO mode (its only available fc)
49 - Please remove restriction for apps to autostart (this stupid change was introduced in january
50 - Faster contacts and calendar editing

At last, others accept what I have been complaining about since the phones launch!
And you told me my complaints were jealousy at not having the phone when others did ha ha (best check you postings before responding!)

Guys, Johan from SE devs support just posted this, regarding the new place for posting bugs/feature request :
SEMC Developer Support posted the following message:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Hi all
I have redirected the wiki feature-wishlist to the right channels.
I think that Wiki is a great place to keep the info on bugs and the feature-list updated and clean.
Great job
Cheers
/Johan

I just hope SE are looking at this, which I doubt given they have managed to make such a cock up of the P990i, If they are, then maybe the replacement for the M600 will be the better for it personally I doubt it!
I really do wonder who is in charge of the developers at Sony, the SW that came with the original P800 was joke, The net MD SW was equally hopeless and we have all been spectators to the constant releases of code for the rest of the P series culminating in the P990 charade.
I ran a team of developers for two years (I am not a developer I am a project manager) they were responsible for testing all their own code before it was submitted for integration into the live application. if we could do it why is it beyond the whit of SE? I am amazed at their slap dash attitude to their paying customers!!!!!!!

They did it wrong in the past, but now things are much better...i dont understand your rant right now when the p990 is finally getting where we wanted, and when SE is gonna upgrade its OS.

How exactly are things getting better? every release bring further problems! My generic W950i is full of annoying bugs and from what I hear the M600i is not much better
SE clearly do not have a structured testing program or an effective bug reporting structure, I also wonder if they actualy use structured development methods Without these three things SW development is doomed to the kind of hit and miss approach we have seen from SE for so long.
The P990i has been around almost 18 months in proto and development form and you are happy that we are "the p990 is finally getting where we wanted" I see that as failure NOT success
If speaking from and experienced standpoint on a subject is a "rant" then I guess I am guilty

Man, just ask P990, M600 users about the last fw...not at all the same opinion has you!!! So, i have no fault you are insatisfied
And by now i think you should know what is coming...if you think having a symbian phone OS upgraded for the first time is a minor thing???

I made no comment on the "supposed" OS upgrade, but perhaps SE didn't evaluate how UIQ3 would impact symbian properly?
But I do consider 18 months to get a device somewhere "near" what it was supposed to be in the first place a failure, logically who could see it as anything else?
I do know, if I took 18 months to deliver what I sold my customers, I would be out of business and that's a fact!
