[Ubuntu-phone] Bug: the uppercase button on the virtual keyboard, isn't always available

[Jasper Aikema]

He all,

I tried to file a bug i found (but I wasn't allowed).

I had this problem, and solved it already. You can find the patch as an
attachment.



When you type a text in Ubuntu Touch and switch to the symbols and
numbers mode (by ?123), and the switch to the second part (by 1/2), and
then switch back to the letter mode. You are not able to use capital
letters anymore.

You can fix it by switching to the symbols and numbers mode again, and
change tot the first part (by klicking on 2/2). And then switch back to
the letter mode.




There are some more issues with the keyboard. The capslock doesn't work
correctly (you won't see anything diverent, only uppercase, no
lowercase). I will look into this.

Greetings,

Jasper

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Daily builds

[Jasper Aikema]

Thanks.

Is it possible to see what base is used?
I want to know the changes between the builds. So I can check the fixes
or new bugs.

The daily build from today, will break my Wifi. I am not able to connect
to my network.

[Ubuntu-phone] manage-address-books.py gives a gi._glib.GError error

[Jasper Aikema]

Hello,

When I try to remove the default contacts or recreate them with the
manager-address-books.py script, it give me an error.

root@localhost:~# manage-address-books.py delete
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/types.py:76: Warning:

  return info.invoke(cls, *args, **kwargs)

Does someone know why this happens?

Kind regards,

I would expect that you will squeezes the month into week view when you go
over the event line (and drags it up). You don't want to squeeze it when
you are on the upper limit.

I proposed the same. There are two ways to do this (in my opion).

1. You scroll up until you reach the first (or last) item from this day.
When you scroll a little bit more up, the month view will collapse into day
view. If you scroll, you can do this in the diary view section.
2. When you do it like above, you can scroll up and down like before. But
when scroll after you hit the first (or last) item of this day. You won't
be able to collapse the month view. You can only collapse it when you go
over the event line (the row labeled with "Events"). This is to prevent ppl
to accidental collapsing the calender view, when there are no more items on
the diary section.

I think the second way is better, but that is just my opinion.

[Ubuntu-phone] ubuntu-clock-app: Who designed it and what is the idea behind it?

[Jasper Aikema]

Hi all,

I started working on the clock app (for now the stopwatch tab). But i
don't understand the design.

There is the clock face, with 1 hand. Is this is hour hand or the minute
hand? What about the outer coulored thing. Is this the minutes or maybe
the milliseconds?

And what about the time above, the last digits (89), should this be
seconds or milliseconds? What will happen when you touch the Lap button.
Where does the lap times go?

Can someone tell me more about it?

Kind regards,

Jasper Aikema

[Jasper Aikema]

Hi Mika,

That does help me. Thank you for it.

Please keep me in the loop, I want to help with this application.
It is a good starting point for me, because it is not to difficult to
program.
