DWP help for Jelly Bean problems?
Posted: Wed Jun 05, 2013 10:08 pm
Hi DWP,
As I mentioned to Robbit in another post, I now also have a new phone with Jelly Bean (4.1.2) on it.
However, after using Froyo 2.2.2 for so long, I am very, very, VERY disappointed with Jelly Bean. I see from various forums that it gets a lot of complaints and criticism from other users as well. Many of the same things that I hate about it.
One of the really stupid things they have done in JB is to add an extra compulsory question when you have to choose between two apps to execute a task.
For example, I have DWP and the Stock Contacts app in my Froyo phone. However, I never set a Default option for View Contact, because sometimes I want to still use the Stock contact viewer. (For example, DWC doesn't show whether a contact actually has linked profiles so I keep the Stock viewer available as a contact viewer option.) All I have to do is choose which App I want to view the contact with. There is a Checkbox option at the bottom of the Choose App box which enables the next choice to become the permanent default choice, but I never set that Checkbox.
However, in Jelly Bean, EVERY TIME you want to do this, you have to first choose which App as normal, but then, you also have to answer the question "Do Always" or "Just once." It's bad enough having to choose the app every time, but have to confirm that you don't want to set it as default every time is just TOO annoying.
So, to help me reconsider using Jelly Bean, would it be possible for DWP to help solve this problem?
The question I have is, when there are two (or more) Apps available to execute a task, would it be possible for DWP to be able to permanently allow access to either app? As I see it, this could be achieved by selecting the default for the preferred app (DWC, of course), then, in the Long Tap menu, add an option to view using the Stock contact viewer (oe whichever app you configure). This would actually improve the situation on Froyo as well, but especially on Jelly Bean.
Of course it wouldn't solve any of the other really annoying things about JB, but it would certainly solve that one.
Is it possible, please?
Best regards,
Al
