Re: [om2009] - send SMS GUI logic
Hi , just wondering about the user-interface of the sms . When I want to create a new SMS , it first shows me the num-pad to enter and then the text. Would it not be more easy to first type the sms , then select contact(s) || type the tel number in ? Who is working on the GUI ? Maybe I can help a bit :) Cheerio's Blokkie ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Does it make a difference ? Yes , Image you want to send a sms to a bunch of people , then you would have to enter all the numbers first (because you cannot select contacts from your phonebook yet :-)) , After you entered all the numbers , you can finaly send the sms which I think is a bit counter-intuitive . first tipe what you want to send , then to who seems more logical . Or maybe it's just me and I'm a bit daft and you can ignore this remarq though this logic is found in a lot of mobile phones. Who is working on the GUI ? That would be me than. Maybe I can help a bit :) Any help is welcome :) Got ideas? I've read the pdf about the hello world. Pretty straught forward .. so I'll get my hands dirty as soon as possible . Idea's .. well , only one for now. I think it would be nice if one could bind the upper-left button to a sound-mixer app for setting the call volume and such. Would that be doable ? /mirko /blokkie :) ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: [om2009] - send SMS GUI logic
My Nokia N96 wants me to select the recipients before I write the message, and that's a phone that people seem to like... After all, I think to myself I'll send something to François, rather than I want to say something, but who shall I send it to? ;-) 2009/4/15 François TOURDE fr...@tourde.org: Le 14349ième jour après Epoch, blok...@h0m3.be écrivait: first tipe what you want to send , then to who seems more logical .

Hi again, blokkie wrote: Yes , Image you want to send a sms to a bunch of people , then you would have to enter all the numbers first (because you cannot select contacts from your phonebook yet :-)) , Actually you can, just tried it on testing again. Hit the number field (the place where the numbers would appear and you get the contacts list and can chose one. Or maybe it's just me and I'm a bit daft and you can ignore this remarq though this logic is found in a lot of mobile phones. I guess both can be regarded as good and bad, my phone (samsung) also does it the way you proposed, but we looked at phones where it is like that ... hmm... I've read the pdf about the hello world. Pretty straught forward .. so I'll get my hands dirty as soon as possible . Idea's .. well , only one for now. I think it would be nice if one could bind the upper-left button to a sound-mixer app for setting the call volume and such. Would that be doable ? Haha, ok. I have to admit something. I am already abusing the aux-button for many purposes. Right now, in testing, it switches the profile while on the launcher and the in-call volume (while in call of course). There is also a settings app which you have to activate in the paroli.cfg (/etc/paroli/paroli.cfg) which gets launched when you hold the aux-button. So, to answer your question, yes it is doable and I already did that :) But the settings app still needs work that is why it is disabled by default :) /mirko ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: [om2009] - send SMS GUI logic
I agree with this, even if I don't understand why. I can't find any good reason to use this order :) assume, you want to sent the same message to several recipients. you type the msg once and select either a list of recipients (given, the ui allows that) or the message is avaliable again after sending and you can select another recipient to resend. in both cases the ui needs to provide that use case -- but if it does, the proposed order would be logical and the same for all caes, be it if you send one msg or the same msg several times. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

You can indeed resend the message. After you send it, it appears in the msgs list, if you open the details and press on the number of the recipient you can enter another recipient and resend the message. /mirko ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: [om2009] - send SMS GUI logic
My samsung allows both methods. So when I want to send a broadcast, like merry christmas I do the following. 1. Create new message. 2. enter msg. 3. Hit options 4. add people I want to braodcast to.. Then I get to browse through my contects checking off people... 5. hit send. Or I just hit create new mesage. Enter the sms. hit send. get a menu of people to add.. lets see I'll send this to julie and mary, because julie just called me 10 minutes ago and she and mary are out driving around. I do that all the time. And.. when I want to send a message to Sean I can 1. create new msg 2. Hit send 3. add sean 4. hit back 5 type in the msg 6. hit send. I use both methods all the time. But then Again I use broadcast probably more than most. Or go to contacts.. find sean, click send a msg, type the msg. hit send or go to inbox, find a msg from sean, hit reply. etc. or go to recent calls, find seans last call to me, hit options, select send a msg... etc etc I guess I use all those methods on a regular basis Joseph Reeves wrote: My Nokia N96 wants me to select the recipients before I write the message, and that's a phone that people seem to like...
