If you had to add a feature to W10M, what would it be?

Ability for apps to resume to exactly where they were left and to do it quickly, like the other mobile platforms.
 
Personal App Management. A while ago I used Lists on App Social to personally mark/remember any apps (e.g, interesting app I wanna take a closer look at a later time; apps already tested with high potential but not yet meeting my requirements; many other for me useful remarks to apps). A more practical feature for such "app-hints" is in my eyes the ability to set lists is set any personally defined tags on apps directly in the store and search/filter for them.
 
More camera features including photo/video editing!
Nokia had killer cameras. Let us edit images better too!

Gestures - let my camera recognize me and gestures to do things like record a sounds, play sounds, take a picture (instead of a timer), turn on the flashlight app (or any app)

More Cortana - more jokes, facts, custom words and queues.

Extend life and keep me young...

not just light and dark background maybe more colors or to match wallpaper. Also option of square or round tiles.
 
1 editable contact Labels (those mobile 1 , mobile 2 etc)

2 Cortana to every W10M user without the need to change region - but having a warning that "Region not yet covered, might no work properly bla bla-- " for those Countries or Region not covered. this warning is given when the phone is rebooted, (HERE Maps did it)

3 FM transmitter - majority of Countries still use old cars with radios that do not have Bluetooth etc,

4 Logon PIN option to access OneDrive.

5 A calendar like Chronos - holidays for most of the countries are included, moon faces,

6 Battery % should not be hidden.
 
2 things actually:
1.I remember on my lumia 800 how I could zoom out of the photos library and scroll through all the photos, kinda miss that. Also in addition to that there were some nice effects that you could add to them like warping and all (which is totally not a big deal but it was fun)
2. I really want to see windows getting implemented in the mobile version of the OS and making multitasking just that much cooler
 
The build should be able to install with out the user having to hard reset the phone in order for it
to install. Something is wrong with the build and should be fixed so it installs without user intervention to cover for the mistakes made by the creator of the build. I know other people that
are having the same issue with the build installing with their phones too.
There are problems with apps that will only work with Iphones and Androids not working on
Window phones, there were apps available for the Window phones, that were pulled by the
companies, AT&T Uverse, and banks for example. People don't want to have 2 phones, one
on Windows and the other so they can use the apps not available for the Windows phone.
 
Windows 10 Mobile has to run Android Apps. Even if just emulation and not fully performant on high end Apps.
Because without closing down the Apps gap, tat consumers see every day, Windows Mobile remains dead platform.
I say this as a previous Windows Phone developer. Leave the best features, and performance for native WM Apps, but at least enable consumers to download, install and run Android Apps.

This was tried by BlackBerry 10 (they even added the Amazon Appstore), it is not the big app names that are the problem, it is all the missing local apps, like banking. The only way this approach can be successful is if you add Google Play, and that is very unlikely.
 
Enlarge the keyboard horizontally (not vertically) to the edge of screen in landscape mode
 
Inbuilt WiFi file transfer capability with other PC and windows smartphones. We should be able to right click a file and select send using WiFi.
 
  1. Access the audio controls directly through any music player.
  2. LED message notification light (blinking Windows logo would be cool).
  3. Scheduled device shutoff and wake-up times (similar to what the Blackberry had).
  4. Audio profiles with an ability to quickly silence all sounds.
 
Extensions to Microsoft Edge
Default choices for things like browsers, camera, etc.
Allowing background tasks for any app of my choice
Task Manager
Ability to start one thing and finish on any of my other windows devices (feels like Continuum could be extended on this)
Apple Pay alternative for windows phones
faster camera
Restart, Shutdown, or Log-off feature should be present when holding down power button
Multi-user mode (perfect for sharing a device)
Rotating of the start screen
Interactive Live Tiles
Adding ringtones from music collection on the device
Custom Vibrations
Bring back music history on Cortana Windows 10 Mobile
Bring back QR Code Scanner for Windows 10 Mobile
Add removed Lumia camera apps into the one Camera app
Split Screen (feel like One handed mode can be extended upon to add this feature)
