Re: [ANNOUNCE] VertSMS - portrait sms'ing in extras-dev
Really a nice start guys.... i just tested it and it seems to work well. my suggestions would be:
1) when the msg is sent, a notification says 'sending text to number'. there's no notification for sucess of sending. that needs to be there as user has no clue bout the success/failure. it could be a yellow notification script or if it's integrated to conversations, that should take care of this. or the app could close once the text is gone. 2) predictive text would be nice to have 3) touching the text area makes the qwerty keyboard pop up. it should not happen. 4) Minor - address area just shows the number and not the contact name. that's all i could think of as of now. thanks once again! |

great work!
would like to see the send button on top of the text box next to "to" or somewhere. having send where it is now just makes me nervous. is that possible or what do you all think? this way there is no accidental sending and more room for a shift button maybe |

Code:
--- vertsms.py.1 2010-05-04 21:30:01.000000000 +0100 As for "UI of send -button must be improved in order to stop accidental sending", I guess you could bring up a confirmation message (à la Hildon.Note) or you can enable tap-and-hold on the widget which'll only send if you... wait for it... tap and hold on the widget. |

One very usefull handy application. Just downloaded before work and works fine.
Its appreciated as being a simple vertical application but some notes: Predictive text desired. Qwerty keyboard pops up on initial text entry. Delivery report desired. App works sending new messages but not when repling via conversation. Possible partial or full integration with Conversations possible ? Other than that is very handy as it is and already alongside conversations on my desktop. A big thanks Oss. |

it a great start!!
as other said virtual keyboard is really annoying :( also i think it should prompt some pop-up and reset text and number field once message is sent ;) |

i'll wait a bit longer for a better update but kudos to you for creating something for portrait mode. landscape is ok but an option for portrait support is welcome....
i'm not sure which layout is better between the 5800 or x6 but getting some ideas there to make the app more nokia-ish doesn't hurt. i hope there's an option for a qwerty and the traditional alphanumeric layout... |

arrows will be added as soon as I improve the text input part and backspace improvements. I'll have to look into higlighting words etc. this is glued on top of os so virtual keyboard is a problem. hope I can find a solution to that. for now disabling vkb is the only solution.. no T9 coming by me (there is so much other things to do) but the source is out there for anyone to hop in, just like aspidites did and with his help this is out now, not in july. and I have a vision that there should be multiple layouts for the keypad. and if that is doable, qwerty keys will be there too as an option. there is no way I am aware of this could be integrated to conversations unless nokia implements it. conversations is web browser running pages inside device (and completely closed?), my app is python gtk application. |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] VertSMS - portrait sms'ing in extras-dev
excellent work
my idea for the perfect keyboard is the ones like the BB pearl where one key holds 2 letters of the qwerty keyboard. less space than full qwerty but better than numerical |
Re: [ANNOUNCE] VertSMS - portrait sms'ing in extras-dev
an important functionality that could be added is sending texts to multiple recipients.....
