* When the phone rings, please have litephone jump to the foreground.<br>
Currently, I have to wade through several other running apps in order<br>
to pick up the phone.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>I was wondering when someone brings this up :-). Actually I don't like the idea of poping up the phone window when the user is doing something. I have a plan to show a little xshape gadget on the bottom of the screen on incoming call or sms. On call it would probably show accept/reject/mute buttons, the first one additonally bringing up the phone window on click. On sms it would display the content in a one line pager style, and have show/hide message buttons. <br>
<br>I wonder what you think about this idea :-)<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br>
* Deleting a message (up-to-date SHR unstable) gives a screenful<br>
of error messages. But the message was deleted.</blockquote><div><br>Yes, although I think deleting did work for a while. <br><br>Here's the error (for Sebastian :-)):<br><a href="http://pvtrace.com/litephone/delete_errors.txt">http://pvtrace.com/litephone/delete_errors.txt</a><br>
<br>The message was probably not deleted, you will notice on restarting litephone (it just deleted it from cache)<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
* When I answer the phone, it rings and vibrates for a while after<br>
I pressed "answer", before the call comes through. That is annoying.<br>
I don't know if this can be improved in litephone, or if the<br>
problem is in the framework or something.</blockquote><div><br>This is a frameworkd issue. I think with litephone it's a bit better than with SHR-apps, although I'm not sure.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
* The contact list has a second column, with 8 names. This allows<br>
quick jumping through the list to various positions. Excellent!<br>
<br>
* Strange SMS view. Before, I could see who sent the message, and<br>
the first part of the text. And often enough, the first part is<br>
all I need to see. Some messages are short, just "call me" and such.<br>
<br>
Now, I see who sent the message, and a strange number. (database<br>
key???) This number is not useful, please bring back the<br>
text snippet.</blockquote><div><br>This was left by accident after debugging, sorry :-)<br>We are working on some better view in messages, phonelog and contacts<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
* Really long messages support scrolling. This is better than SHR. :-)</blockquote><div><br>Oh, good to know :-)<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
<br>
* When the user closes litephone, consider informing that<br>
no further calls or SMS will be received. This may not be obvious to<br>
all users, and phone functionality is an important part of the device.<br>
Still, if you make such a dialog, also add the<br>
"don't show this warning again" button for the expert users.<br>
<br>
<br>
I might add this to the wiki - when/if the email address confirmation<br>
comes through. :-/<br>
