The one thing the hook key should be used for is for pausing/resuming media playback (especially as there's often volume up/down keys as well). There's a bit of UX design here, too (which one to resume - most probably the most recently paused? Or maybe the most recently paused *by the* hook key?).
Now the design question is whether we want to allow apps getting the event, and if so - when (when they're playing audio only, or also when there's no audio playing? always when the app is focused?). Basically, the floor is open to think of additional use cases for that button. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to telephony-service in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1398427 Title: Can't use earphone to answer or disconnect a call Status in the base for Ubuntu mobile products: Confirmed Status in Telephony Service: New Status in Ubuntu UX bugs: Triaged Status in qtmir package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in telephony-service package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: New Status in qtmir package in Ubuntu RTM: In Progress Status in telephony-service package in Ubuntu RTM: New Bug description: [Procedures] 1.insert the earphone 2.make a MO call to DUT 3.use the Hook key to answer the call 4.when connected the call use the hook key to disconnect the call [Expect results] earphone hook key can answer and disconnect the call [Actual results] can't answer and disconnect the call [Reproduce] Always To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1398427/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
