Expand device backup scope on WP8
I recently purchased a Lumia 920 and was migrating from Lumia 710. I was floored to discover WP7 had no backup capability and had to redownload everything manually. WP8 took care of that (sort of) with its new backup capability so I can overlook this.
I had to return my 920 for another one to have support diagnose issue and was stunned how poor the backup/restore capability was for WP8. Yes, signing in with Microsoft automatically re-downloads your applications but all app data was lost. Another HUGE hole in this process is that the Live Tile layout wasn't backed up/restored!

Proper Bluetooth SPP support for Pebble Smartwatch and other accessories.
Please allow SPP support so that WP users can use many different types of bluetooth accessories. iOS and Android both allow this, and there is no reason (I know of) why Windows Phone 8 shouldn't have it either.

Data Counter app for windows phone 8
Windows Phone 8 users desperately need a Data Counters App similar to Nokia Counters released for Windows Phone 7.x.
This is an absolute basic need for phones which run on Operators who DO NOT currently support the Data Sense Feature.
I DO NOT need any of the nifty features like Data Compression and all of that, just a basic Data Counters App which works the same as Nokia Counters for Windows Phone 7.x.
It's really a shame that you leave out such a critical feature when you know NOT every operator in the world would have been capable or even…

A proper bedtime mode
WP8 needs a proper night/bedtime mode in its alarm clock settings!! It would be an option like this:
1. Turn on night mode
- Turn on Night mode at... (specify time range, e.g. from 11 pm till 8 am on weekdays or from 1 am till 10 am on weekends)
- option to only turn into night mode when charging (so you can be sure that your night mode is only on when you are sleeping and your phone is charging. If you're out at night, it shouldnt turn into night mode)
- option to turn off certain connections in…

Ability to Install Apps/Games/Maps onto MicroSD card
Games and Apps are growing in size (some hundreds of MBs). 8GB on a phone is not enough anymore and yet 8 GB phones are still around, which to me is not enough--even with an SD card slot.
Having SD support is great, but only music/pictures/videos can be installed on them currently.
I understand that installing apps/games is different, but could they still be installed onto the main storage of the phone AND have the game assets (music/voice/videos/saves, for example) stored onto the SD card instead. This would use less of the main storage for these games/apps?
Also, Nokia Maps…

Password or pin for Marketplace purchases
It's far too easy to accidentally buy apps or music from the marketplace. A password or pin number should be required to prevent accidental purchases.

Automatic Retry for Text Messages
If a text message fails to send it should auto-retry on a schedule or when cell signal returns. Annoying to discover that a text I thought sent didn't and I missed the failed to send notification.
