Re: [Ubuntu-phone] SIM toolkit on UT product team decision

Good morning dear list, I agree that SIM Tookit support is crucial for many countries. As far as I know, ofono has a D-Bus API for it and the functionality is very simple, so we might "just" have to build a simple, unconfined core app that talks to ofono? cheers, Simon On 09/29/2015 10:29 PM,

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Landing team 30.09.15

Hello! The proper mouse cursor/pointer integration feature is ready code-wise but it missed the feature freeze for OTA-7. There is still chance of those changes getting included but we are waiting for the product team to decide if it can be handled as an exception. We should know more later today.

[Ubuntu-phone] The problem with "no background processing for apps"

Good morning dear list, this has been brewing for quite some time now and the discussion Krzysztof Tataradziński started a week ago didn't lead anywhere again, so I'm starting it yet another time: In my opinion the "no background processing for apps on the phone" design decision is wrong, is alre

Surly reserving the right, should be an informed user decision. Could we not make it easier to choose how we want to run our phones? Nokia when they launched the N9, has a locked down linux distro, but once enabling the developer mode it give you the freedom to do with the phones as we pleased.

The balanced solution would be let it to user decision. Let them decide. By Default the OS can allow background process up to 'n' numbers. Let's say 3 (this can vary depending on device specification parameters: battery capacity, screen size, CPU and memory). If user going to run beyond that thresh

Guys, first time I reply to anything, but here's my opinion: Even the Nokia 8500 running on Symbian could multitask. And indeed, those overly-hyped Apples couldn't. With those early Symbians you just had to tweak things a bit in order to get it completely stable, but I guess we improved enough
