1. 2/16/10 -- Remove yourself from the contact list -- Joy
2. 2/16/10 -- Make it not possible to call someone that is offline -- Joy
3. 2/17/10 -- sometimes the contact list is down -- Eve
4. 2/17/10 -- it would be nice to have a window pop up when one of the people on the contact list log onto MobileASL -- Eve
5. 2/17/10 -- The contact list goes down whenever I try to show the phone to Anna. It is now 12:17 PM and it's down -- Eve
6. 2/17/10 -- When the contact list is down, is it still possible to be able to call someone with an AT&T 3G card if they have a phone number that you know? -- Eve
7. 2/20/10 -- Redesign Settings page to make less technical and more clear (or move technical stuff to an advanced tab) -- Joy
8. 2/20/10 -- myinfo.txt sometimes corrupts, so that your phone number comes up as garbled text. You have to close MobileASL, delete myinfo.txt, and re-open MobileASL. This results in your phone number changing. (only on non-AT&T phones?) -- Joy
9. 2/20/10 -- When using an AT&T connection, MobileASL doesn't connect to the data network right away. You have to open Internet Explorer and try to go to a webpage before the phone will properly connect. Then, MobileASL will be able to use the AT&T connection. -- Joy
10. 2/20/10 -- Sometimes, even if both phones are connected to the server, making a call between them won't work until after a few tries. -- Joy
11. 2/20/10 -- Have a cancel button for Update My Info and for retrieving the contact list? -- Joy
12. 2/20/10 -- Mess with thread priorities so that Update My Info and retrieving the contact list doesn't slow down MobileASL? Is this still the case in 1.0.3? -- Joy
13. 2/25/10 -- Make the contact list have an icon to show if a user is busy/in a call -- Joy
14. 2/25/10 -- "Also, this morning, my phone was randomly vibrating (like, once every 5 - 10 minutes, at least when I was sitting by my computer). But the screen didn't show anyone calling me. Then I tried to click the missed call button, and MobileASL froze. I had to take out the battery and put it back to restart my phone." Note: This was using Joy's unfinished experience sampling code, which might have caused the bugs. -- Joy
15. 2/25/10 -- Eve tried to call Joy. Joy was away from the phone and did not answer. It told her that Joy was busy, but no one else was online and Joy was not already in a phone call. -- Joy
16. 2/25/10 -- Clicking the Missed Call button when there is a missed call opens the History window. If there is no missed call, a message box just pops up saying there are no missed calls. But its kind of weird to have a shortcut to the History window that only works some of the time. Maybe after the message box pops up, the history window should open anyway? -- Joy
17. 2/25/10 -- Putting a comma in your username causes MobileASL to crash when you try to open the contact list. -- Joy
18. 2/25/10 -- When the phone is in vertical view (with the keyboard in), the both video screens should be upright (the video for viewing yourself is sideways). -- Joy
19. 2/28/10 -- Sometimes, when you receive a call, the window will say "Receiving call from <phonenumber> ()". There should be a username in between the parentheses. And then, if I get a phone call from the same phone later, the username will appear like it should. -- Joy
20. 2/28/10 -- Call gets messed up when two people try to call you at the same time (see eve's email on 2/25/10) -- Joy
