Nokia working to bring more enhancements to Lumia line through Glance and Touch?

Glance Notifications

Nokia has been churning out quite a few updates lately for its Lumia Windows Phones, peculiarly for those with the Amber update. The last few organisation app changes, notably Extras + Info yesterday and Display + Touch for today, simply moved those settings into their ain categories.

While that is seen as a fix for discoverability, at that place are few other deviations that accept been noticed likewise that may exist a sign of things to come.

Update: Since publishing this commodity, we have had confirmation that more notification features are coming to Glance

The first is in Glance, which controls the on screen clock when the brandish is "off". Ane feature that many users would like to see with Glance is for notifications. Currently, Glance only presents the time, vibration setting and charging status (if plugged in). While information technology's very useful, users conspicuously want the power to show notifications for things like alarms, email, SMS or more than.

With yesterday'southward update, there is now a toggle switch for "Clock and notifications" (see above). At this time, the setting disables completely the clock and notifications, just leaves Glance enabled (you can disable it via the drop downward menu). That'southward an odd selection as Glance without Clock and Notifications displays zero. Information technology appears that Nokia is working on some changes for Glance, we're just non certain what information technology will entail.

New 'Windows keys' setting?

Likewise, the update for Affect moved it into its ain category. But now there is a new add-on to the description that falls below the category listing: 'Sensitivity, wake up and Windows keys'. What is fascinating is heading into Touch, we only see two options: one for Sensitivity (Super Sensitive Touch) and one for Wake Up (double tap to wake). In that location is no tertiary choice for Windows keys.

Some readers have speculated that this setting may enable the Keys to exist used as blinking notifications, merely we would think that setting would fall under Brandish were it to exist truthful. Instead, this may be related to haptic feedback (vibration) or other options related to how the keys are used.

Either these are errors in the app updates, or more than likely, Nokia will exist pushing out another update through its organization apps that will add together more than functionality to both Glance and Touch. What those changes will be, is anyone'southward judge, though we presented a few possibilities. Needless to say, we'll be keeping an eye out to see what Nokia does next.

Thank you, Matthias P and Chris Y., for noticing!
