This page is here to list the known issues with Paroli. If possible, link your issue / feature request to Paroli Trac and please attach /var/log/paroli.log and /var/log/frameworkd.log

Known issues / bugs to be fixed

  • After several calls Paroli freezes. It might eventually awake again some minutes later... (should be fixed 12-05-09)
  • SMS: There's no feedback after sending a message #3 (should be fixed 12-05-09)
  • SMS: When viewing a message, one doesn't see the name of the sender but the phone number (also when the number is saved in the phone memory) (should be fixed 12-05-09)
  • SMS: Writing an SMS that's longer than one line makes the first line disappear from the screen when one writes the second line.
  • SMS: There's no character count in SMS view
  • UI: Empty I/O shows an 'edit' button.. maybe it should be hidden and instead a text 'no logged events' could be shown?
  • UI There's nothing (no text/button) telling one should click in the black area to get to phonebook to select recipient in 'msgs' -> '+' or 'Tele'
  • UI: No visual feedback of shutting down #93
  • UI: when not in fullscreen mode (=illume enabled), one can't see the used profile in the home view
  • UI: When shutting down Paroli the dialog asking to leave paroli in the background has YES/NO buttons in bottom left corner. When getting the error messages for failing with loading GSM&GPRS, the OK button is in the bottom center.
  • ALARM: The alarm feature is currently not usable, it will be rewritten. Just don't try to use it :)
  • No keylock
  • SIM: If one by accidentally presses 'Enter in the PIN input view, it just accepts it and doesn't ask for PIN again but gives many error messages.
  • SIM: All SMS's and phone numbers are now saved in the phone memory, not in the SIM card
  • WLAN scan doesn't have a progress bar telling it's actually doing something
  • WLAN hidden networks cannot be connected with GUI yet
  • RESUME doesn't turn on the screen lights -> one knows it's resumed only by touching the screen
  • GPRS settings: if one by accident clicks 'username', 'APN', or 'password' instead of Connect, one actually has to re-type it because the 'back' button doesn't work.

Feature wishlist

  • Would it be possible to add a SMS button in the 'People' -> contact view. Now clicking the number calls the user (intuitive? Why clicking the name nothing happens?). Maybe adding 'dial' and 'SMS' -buttons there just to make it clear.
  • With hundreds of phone numbers it'd be great to be able to type at least the first letter, or two-three to be able to find the
  • The date doesn't need the | -bars in the home view: it's | Sunday, May 10, 2009 | - the bars just make it more difficult to read
  • renaming of I/O, Tele and Msgs in the menu (maybe to call log, SMS and dialer?)
  • The numbers in the home view showing missed calls or received messages could be bigger/colorful/something or even say 'one missed call' or 'new SMS received'
  • GPRS settings: maybe APN should be 'internet' by default, I think it's the most common APN?
  • GPRS settings: how about reordering the items so that the connect would be first or last in the list.
  • The button to 'go back / go to previous screen' keeps changing: In the menu there's a 'back' button (different size in different views) but in the people etc one has to know to press the top bar to go back.
  • Maybe reordering the main menu so that the phone log would not be the first one?
