Text and Email live tile should reflect UNREAD not NEW.
The live tiles for text and email, i guess skype and phone calls/messages too; should reflect UNREAD totals, not new/unseen totals.
Sometimes you get a message you need to be reminded about later since you can't act on it just yet... currently, after just viewing the related app, the message's 'reminder' goes away. :/19 votes -

integrate app "ask ziggy" into OS.
I think having this app (similar to siri) would be a great addition to the OS. Instead of having Speech recognition, there should be a more siri like app.

Stretch Live tile usage area till edges of the screen in Windows phone 7.8
No space or minimal space should be kept on the left & right side of the Start screen. This will look more naturally fitted in the screen & elegant too. Highly recommended for small screen devices(3.7").

Please find a way to enable an option to disable text notifications (or any other notification specified) from popping up.
Please find a way to enable an option to disable text notifications (or any other notification specified) from popping up. Everytime I am showing off the phone, an embarrassing or personal text comes in and its obviously something I did not want the person seeing. So maybe have an option to toggle notifications to show or not show text. The sound/vibration can still go off but the text will display depending on whether the option is enabled or not. Or instead of displaying the actual text, an option to display "New Message" or something similar. Or have both be an…

URGENT IMPROVEMENTS GENERAL OF WINDOWS PHONE 8
I am a past member of lumia 800. Now I have lumia 920. I am happy with the new features introduced with Windows Phone 8, but unfortunately some limits were not exceeded even with version 8 of the operating system.
It 's very important to introduce these changes (many are not satisfied for these functions):- Separate ringer volume from the volume of music and video
- Allow to modify / customize the ringtone also sms and notifications
-give the ability to attach to an email PDF documents, word and excel directly in the process of writing an email.

dvorak support
Implement an IoC container for Soft Input Panel layouts, so that developers may create new ones (such as Dvorak, which is better for ergonomics and ease-of-use with single-hand activities).

Screen Rotation Solution
I've noticed that windows Phone Does not have the Screen Rotation Lock, maybe it's because of one of Apple's Patents, how about if you do it this way (Manual/Automatic Rotation).
Screen Rotation is Always On, however you can switch it from Manual to Automatic Mode, when it's on Automatic Mode, it will rotate automatically, and when it's on Manual Mode, you need to make a gesture using two fingers for the screen to change rotation.18 votes
