RE: Phonelog: missed call NULL name and number
- Why is the number/name equal to NULL? NULL means hidden number. Kind of expected that one :-) A programmer can understand this, obviously, but from an end user perspective it is not very meaningful. Could we replace NULL by something self explanatory like [Hidden number] or [No caller ID] or [Private number]...? So long as it's done by the app at runtime. The daemon shouldn't storing things in a language-specific way. Indeed, totally agree. Any application owner reading this who's willing to apply the suggested change? It's already possible, just edit your ~/.phonelog/phonelog.conf Thanks, just changed my phonelog.conf and it now shows up with the alternative text. Good stuff. Could we perhaps change the default phonelog.conf to another more meaninful value? Just for ease of use. And maybe, in addition, add a line or two on the Wiki?

RE: Phonelog: missed call NULL name and number
- Why is the number/name equal to NULL? - Why didn't the phone do anything (ringing/vibrating, missed call notification) when apparently somebody tried to call? NULL means hidden number. Kind of expected that one :-) A programmer can understand this, obviously, but from an end user perspective it is not very meaningful. Could we replace NULL by something self explanatory like [Hidden number] or [No caller ID] or [Private number]...? BTW, phonelog seems quite buggy as to received/dialed/missed call registration. Since sometimes some of these show up with a day or so of delay, could it be an opimd bug or a phonelog bug? It's a bug alright (missed call but no notification), but don't which component is responsible. _ Reageer op foto’s van je vrienden en bekijk hun reacties op de jouwe.

I don't complain much about lack of notification (I cut off the current notifiers as one was useless and the other was somewhat buggy) but about *registering* :) Rui ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
