Hi Damien, > Some cellulars have a notion of "missed calls". I don't know if a call > that you reject because you are busy or in do not disturb mode is > considered as missed. I suppose the first yet, but not the latter. i can only speak for Nokia, but every call that you actively reject is counted "received call". Solely the ones that you didn't react on are "missed". > I think "missed call" = not answered, busy, but NOT Do not disturb > and "unanswered call" = not answered, busy, and Do not disturb. IMHO, actually no. Every call that you didn't see for whatever reason is missed. As long as there was no chance for you to see it, there's no secure way of telling if you would have preferred to take it or not. And there should be an indicator for >0 missed calls in the tray icon and maybe the status bar of GM or something. Just anywhere in the GUI where you can see it right away. > > Do you prefer to : > 1) keep the current notion of unanswered calls (calls not answered, > received when you are busy, ie in a call, or when you are in DND) > > 2) replace it by a notion of missed calls (calls not answered, received > when you are busy, but not calls received when you are in DND which > would be considered as "received calls"). IMHO, bad idea. Putting DND into received calls will list by far too many calls as received. You haven't had a single chance to "vote" them welcome or disapproved, yet GM would still count them among those you preferred to have. What could be an option is to ask the user to approve them when returning from DND mode. I.e. when going back to normal mode, to write telling "you have missed 3 calls in DND, click here to see them now" in the statusbar. > > Anyway, would you prefer to have: > 1) a message in the statusbar indicating the number of "unanswered" > calls or missed calls > > 2) a popup indicating the unanswered/missed calls and possibly > presenting a list of them (a bit like the history, sort of a duplicate > perhaps => perhaps not useful) NO POPUP, PLEASE! I'd prefer a white envelope on the tray icon and maybe in the statusbar of GM the number of missed with a link to click on it and have the calls history open up. Alternatively we could use a toolbar button for that (yet that would need to change its symbol upon toggle "no calls"/">0 calls missed") The statusbar indication should only be cleared when: a) you're now in a call and need to write the traffic stats into there b) the user has seen the history and thus acknowledged the missing calls. (i.e. clicked on the hint that there were any, or gone there thru the menu) -- Best regards, Kilian
