Allow third-party app notifications on the lock screen
Allow icons for third-party applications on the lock screen. This would be very helpful for many apps as notifications cannot be seen without a live-tile.

I suggest that Microsoft test its Windows Phone updates prior to pushing them out and breaking users' phones
My Lumia 920 was working fine until this weekend when MS pushed out their Windows Phone 8 update. Now the display brightness constantly flickers between a decent setting and one that is hard to see anything. Did you guys even test this at all? As a software developer, I have to say that Microsoft's QA has really taken a downturn again - from the Partner program to business apps ...and now phone. Sure reeks of managers pushing unrealistic deadlines. My secondary suggestion is that you enable version downgrades for Windows Phone. At least that would empower some of us to…

make the search button's function configurable
many people do not seem to find the hardware search button on windows phones very usefull, and therefore rarely use the feature.
so my idea is to include a setting that enables to change the function of the search button.
the button could be changed to open to a new text, or to open facebook, or to open the zune music player, and other options.
the option of opening the bing search engine (the current function) could be left as an option (giving users who liked the button as it is now the possibility to keep using it as a…18 votes -

Since we can listen to music/talk shows via apps, on the devices, allow for recording radio broadcasts we hear, while listening to.
There have been so many times that I heard some really great ideas while listening to talk shows, or a really great song, and wanted to save a copy of what was being said, or the song, so I could hear it again.
It'd be really nice to have a utility that'd allow us to record these while listening to them through the "radio" apps we have, on the wp7 phones.17 votes -
