Display update notifications only when idle
Last modified: 2012-03-05 09:14:56 UTC
Software update notifications should never be displayed when: - the device is playing anything - the device is in off/standby mode - the user is navigating If any of the above are true, then wait until the device enters an idle state.

Theoretically the prompt should appear but should not wake up the device or kill the screensaver. So the net effect would be that I'd notice the prompt when I "woke up" the device. > - the user is navigating Not sure I agree. For one thing, it's going to be tough/impossible to detect if someone is "navigating" or not, I'm guessing. > If any of the above are true, then wait until the device enters an idle state. One thing to keep in mind is that these issues are magnified to a huge level when we are testing beta versions of the product (since we're being prompted every day or so to upgrade). In the non-beta universe this is going to occur 4 or 5 times per year. We can make this experience better of course (and we should), but IMO there are more serious issues on our plate at the moment.

In any case, we agree that it shouldn't happen. > > - the user is navigating > > Not sure I agree.

This is what keeps the 'stopped' screensaver from kicking in. > One thing to keep in mind is that these issues are magnified to a huge level > when we are testing beta versions of the product (since we're being prompted > every day or so to upgrade). Without question. Still, it needs to be addressed.

Firmware update notifications should no longer appear when the device is "off".
Richard is no longer available to us.
Unassigned bugs cannot have a priority.

We are looking at changing way updates and notifications are handled. However, the way the mechanism will be updated wont' include this bug
