For fixing the issue with on screen keyboards, what do people think of doing the SMS dialog more fremantle style. Instead of the scroll bar being only for the conversation history, make it for the entire dialog., I would then make the dialog full screen and it should auto-adjust to the right size with OSKs.

Hey, what's the status on that one ring idea that you were conceptualizing awhile back?

Are you still excited about taking on a new project?

I need to get to the point that I stop spending so much time on Dialcentral first so I have time to work on it

Autoadjusting sounds like new problems are going to occur and complicate things even more.

It's up to you though. One favor request, I know you have a keyboard but could you use DC for awhile without using it?

Thanks!

What I mean by auto-adjust is on Diablo, it would have a scrollbar accessible while OSK is up that would allow you to scroll the entire history so you can better use it with the OSK

EDIT: As for the auto-correction when you have a hardware keyboard on Diablo, I'm not sure whats the best way to handle it

Okay. Actually I like the idea.

Did you want to exchange numbers both as friends and for also testing DC?

The main concern I see with the UI change (not in extras-devel yet) is that on the n900 it will auto-scroll to just above the character count / phone selector. I'm guessing it might be alright for those to be hidden by default.

I just pushed 1.0.7-10 to extras-devel. Hopefully this is the final release before pushing to extas.

"Dial" is disabled while there is stuff entered in the reply box for SMS

The scrollbars that used to be around the SMS history is now around the history and the reply, making more room available for viewing the history and fixing inconsistent issues with starting scrolled to the bottom. The only oddity is that on fremantle, it doesn't scroll to the bottom but to the bottom of the SMS reply box which makes less discoverable the ability to change numbers or see how many characters are entered.

Sounds like a nice adjustment, would love to try it out on N810.

Oh yeah!

1.0.7-10 is shaping up quite nicely, it's amazing how just a few little tweaks makes such a big difference.

Hey, for those who want to add a new contact or edit one but can't view them correctly on the website, I found a little trick...

At 100% zoom over at Google Voice, for some reason all of your contact names are stacked on top of eachother making them impossible to read.

However, if you crank up the zoom feature to 160%, they are easily readable.

Thanks epage for this latest release!
