    • Multiple calls visuals landed
    • The Dialer in now OOP \o/

Incoming call in Lock screen (swipe gesture to receive the call) already implemented

    • Information about the phone type and carrier (if any) is shown in the attention screen, outgoing calls screen and the call log.
  • SPRINT GOALS:

Polish polish polish :) <-- yeah Include

  • This week
    • USSD:
      • Update of the USSD functionality according to the latest UX guidelines (https://www.dropbox.com/s/yrd9mmj9w08x2c0/OWD%20USSD%20V02%2020120921.pdf) under revision by the UX team. PR to be sent tomorrow (26/09) the latest.
      • Bug reported regarding notifying the closing of a USSD session: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=794011
      • There is another issue under discussion with the "platform guys" regarding the closing of USSD sessions by any app with access to mozMobileConnection or only by the "owner" of the session. The USSD feature only accepts 1 active connection at a time as defined by the specification. This issue is related to the fact that more than 1 app may want to send USSD messages (such as the Dialer app and the Cost Control app) and a proper management of the connections has to be made in these situations.

    • Call waiting:
      • Ayman handling

Email (Andrew (:asuth), Jim Porter (:squib), Casey (:cyee), Steve(:schung), Naoki(:nhirata), Dominic (:dkuo)

  • Things slowing us down:
    • asuth: painting problems/homescreen crashes on linux b2g-desktop, even having trouble just pushing profiles to the device. Self-build from today seems better?

Font Patryk

  • [Casey] This week: Font has been landed and is ready for use in Gaia.
  • from mwu: for any future changes in the fonts, feel free to commit directly to the moztt repo - https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/moztt . As long as the file names do not change, no special changes are required. If files are added/removed/renamed, I can update the fonts. (adding/removing fonts requires updating two repos)
  • Please test apps using font-family: MozTT, the font should be quite similar to Open Sans with regards to size, weights and other font properties. It should be a simple straightforward replace -- @Patryk can confirm correct font implementation.
  • Next steps: Implement font as main font in Body.
  • Localization & Copy Josh
  • Josh and Matej auditing here: https://etherpad.mozilla.org/fxosv1-copy-bucket1
  • Josh will deliver tomorrow.
