1121652 - [Dialer] 'Add to existing contact' and 'Create new contact' options are not conveniently located on the contextual menu when long-pressing on an 'unknown' phone number in the Call log.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Dialer, defect, P3)

Description

[Joshua Mitchell (Inactive)]

Description:
When in the dialer app call log user's would expect that long-pressing on an unknown contact would bring up a list of options that would include adding a new or updating a contact. In past versions this was true but now the only contextual menu options are to 'Send Message' or 'Call Information'. The desired options are found further in under the Call Information results but this seems counter-intuitive. Users would not expect those options to be there, as 'Call Information' only connotate information such as call duration and date.
Adding a new contact is typically a 'less buried' function on other market devices. On my Android ZTE Savvy there is no contextual menu but there is an icon dedicated to + contact that is always top-level information in the call log. 


Repro Steps:
1) Update a Flame to 20150114010205
2) Launch the dialer app.
3) Propagate the call log with an unknown number. 
4) Long press on that number

Actual:
Create new contact and add to existing contact options not present on top level contextual menu.

Expected:
These valuable options will be present on this menu. (At least present on both levels of menu).

This issue does NOT repro on 2.0 

Actual Results: Contextual menu contains 'Send Message', 'Create new contact' and 'Add to existing contact' options. (Probably not a regression but instead a design change implemented when 'Call Information' was added)

[Peter Bylenga [:PBylenga]]

NI on component owner for nomination decision and assignment.

Comment 2

[Johan Lorenzo [:jlorenzo]]

This was designed that way by UX (see bug 877971, attachment 8463237 [details]). If you think we should keep these 2 entries in the contextual window, do not hesitate to reopen this bug.

Comment 3

[Peter Bylenga [:PBylenga]]

NI for UX input, with the design change we eliminated the shortest route for these actions.  Also it's not intuitive that they are behind "call information", our first thought was that they were missing.

Hi, 

Actually I have a plan to refine the context menu and the call info page here. However, we are currently exploring the opportunities for the future FxOS. So I'd like to change the design after we have the idea of what we are going to do for V3 and fix it accordingly. Thanks!

Comment 5

[Johan Lorenzo [:jlorenzo]]

Reopening this bug as a future version might fix the issue.

Comment 6

[Eric Chang [:ericcc] [:echang]]

Suggest to put this in backing.
Another question: Is dialer team using tracking-b2g for backlog? Or the blocking-b2g=backlog?

Comment 7

[Doug Sherk (:drs) (inactive)]

Flags are used by EPM and product. Internally to the Dialer team, we use the "dialer-most-wanted" metabug to track bugs that we want fixed.

In this case, this is a UX improvement. Thus, I would put this in both feature-b2g:backlog and ux-b2g, neither of which I have permission to set.

Comment 8

[Eric Chang [:ericcc] [:echang]]

NI Wesley for setting correct flag.

Comment 9

[Wesley Huang [:wesley_huang] (EPM) (NI me)]

It would be great if tracking-b2g:backlog can be used as a universal flag for "backlog" items.
Also, why do we need different backlog buckets?

See https://wiki.mozilla.org/B2G/Triage#Project_Flags 
(I probably need to promote this idea widely. For now, having the meta bug in parallel is ok).

I think ux-b2g is more for ux blockers and in this case it doesn't look like as one. If it is, someone in UX can add it.
