First off, the Lotus is an awesome phone and many of us owners are very pleased with this device. There are so many things right with this phone its unbelievable. However, with many of us Lotus owners being cellphone enthusiasts, we have discovered some glitches and obstacles with usability and we want to share them with LG in hopes that you address & fix them with a firmware update. We are URGENTLY & DESPERATELY requesting that LG makes these IMMEDIATE firmware updates to improve the Lotus' functunality, usability & popularity (other suggested firmware updates for the Lotus feel free to use this thread also):
* If you text to a non-contact LOTUS will continually ask you if you want to save the person as a contact (try it u will see what i mean) -- this should be an ask once type thing or a feature that can be turned on or off * If you disable "flip answers call" then you cannot answer a call on speakerphone, you'll have to press TALK and then speakerphone, an unnecessary step imo -- LOTUS should allow you to answer a call on speakerphone with 1 click (TALK or speakerphone should pick up a call, TALK and speakerphone should be equal in ALL circumstances) * The carousel should be able to be disabled or there should be carousel user controlled settings. * If you can press and hold a key to select its number, then you should be able to press and hold a key to select its symbol! * The call history should be divided into: missed, outgoing & incoming and have a history longer than a couple of days. The last 10-20 in each category should be held. * LOCKING: This phone should have an auto-lock feature after a certain amount of time. For all of the private information that this phone can hold (i.m. account info & chats, emails, pictures, videos, etc.) this phone should be able to be locked automatically. Also, you can only chose 1 lock option at a time so if you selected "lock on power-up" it will unselect this if you need to select "lock now". Those should not be exclusive options.
* INSTANT MESSAGE handles AND passwords should only be stored on request by checking a box. The way it is set up now your handle is automatically stored when you log out, not good for privacy reasons. Also, all IM options should have the option to "exit all" and clear the username & password fields with that selection.
* There should be a password prompt before checking your email. As it is now all you have to do is click "email" and anyone with your phone can check all your emails in that account. This is not good for privacy & security reasons. * Clicking SYMBOL twice in a text should take you to smileys, 3x's to emoticons (?)
* Create some pre-installed video ringers
* While on a call the display goes black, there should be something on the screen that lets you know your call is still active. As it is now, you have to say hello? or press a key. Seeing as how it is so easy to lose or drop a call, some type of display on the screen would be useful for a quick glance.
* There need to be better 3-way call options. For instance you should be able to hang up on 1 person instead of having to terminate the entire call. When one person leaves the 3-way call their number still shows up on the display, when a person leaves the call, their information should also leave the screen. -- Also if you get a text while on a call and you press SPEAKERPHONE the phone calls the person whose text is on the screen and again, the only way to deal with this is to hang up the entire call. SPEAKERPHONE should just be speakerphone.
* Phone Information under Voice Controls is a helpful information feature and should be under tools as well with or with out voice.
* The carousel should scroll and THEN list the menu options, this would be faster then waiting for the carousel to display menu options first.
* The YOUTUBE app is crashing the phone.
* Increase the menu speed & keyboard.
* Create a have a dismiss option for the event alrams.
* PLEASE CREATE A STOPWATCH or COUNTDOWN...this is SOOOOOOO HELPFUL
* Sanyo has an awesome feature called CALL SCREENING - this is one of the best features in the entire world, please adopt it!
* The status light needs to be upgraded for sure, blink for text messages, etc.
* Set ringtones based on caller id / no caller ID rather than contacts / no contacts
*Better clocks for outside screen. ( why semi transparent and off to the side?)*Better style for texting and alerts. ( B&W and a boring font?)
*Zoom in the camera. That is also unacceptable that you have to switch the resolution when you want to zoom.
*Time stamps while text messaging dont display when the message is sent but rather the time the phone got it. If someone sends a text at 2:30 AM, you wake up and turn it on at 11:30, the timestamp will be 11:30
* A setting to change repeat delay and repeat rate on the cursor. I hate having to push the navigation key 50 times to go back to the beginning of a sentence in an email or text to change a typo. If I just push and hold the back navigation button the delay and the speed at which the cursor goes backward is waaay too slow. Even when cursing down or over on a web page, it just seems faster to click click click the navi keys instead of click and hold.
* Multiple text message conversation delete: I only want to keep a few of my convos, so I would like to be able to check off all others and delete them instead of having to confirm for each one
* When I silence a call, flip the phone open to answer it, and try to answer it, the call goes to three way calling and I put the first person on hold... Kinda a PITA if I accidentally hit a side key when getting my phone
