android related feature requests for gmail
Lockedgmail is good, but having the following will be amazing;
a) EMAIL TAGGED TO CONTACTS:
to see all my email communication with a specific contact from the contacts view both on webmail and on android phone
now we need to key in contact’s email in search box to find our email history with him/herb) SMS SYNC:
to be able to sync all our sms with our gmail account and again tag it to the relavant contact
there is a product “backup to gmail” on android market. but it can not tag sms to contact automatically and also gmail filters can not be applied on themc) CALL RECORDS SYNC:
we can record voice calls. but nice if those call records are also stored in our gmail and tagged to the contact.
ofcourse i should be able to choose what calls are to be stored and what not to save space
or i can fix a limited space for call records and old records are automatically deleted as the new one arrives with an option to move certain important calls to a permanent folder
yeah, they will have date and time stampingd) NOTES & MEMOS:
i want my gmail to store my notes, voice memos, dictations, picture, movies, everything from my android phone all arranged date wise like a journal and searchable inside gmail.
there are products with similar functionality on android market
“evernote” = sync to their website, no gmail integration
“gnotes” = syncs text, voice, images, movies to google
but its nice to have these features natively in the operating system itself.
i dont like multiple applications from the phone randomly signing into my gmail account and keep syncing, draining my battrey and increasing my data usage. also i rely on google’s quality assurancechanging a phone should be perfectly seamless. switch-off your old phone, take new one, sign into google account and start using all your contacts, email, sms, call records, notes, everything..
e) i should be able to wipe my android phone completely from the gmail web interface if i lose it.. but this feature works only when the phone connects to internet from the hands of thief. what if he tries to access my information without data connection?
can i enable startup lock code authentication? is this code difficult to break?my gmail will not be just an email with all these features !!
it will be a diary of all my spoken and written communicationam i asking too much?
