• Link to spec: File:2.1 Contacts Support for ICE Contacts.pdf
• THIS IS A DRAFT
• Q&A
  • Q: Can we have a group instead of a sublist?
  • A: Cause then with 3 or 4 favourites + 2 ICE you won't be able to see the real list

• • Q: Do we need to see the contacts from the contacts app?
  • A: Yes, cause people will go to contacts to check who to call

• • Q: Can we have more than 2? It's making a difficult design
  • A: We need to verify (product needs to do this)

• • Q: We don't have the sublist navigation model, the closest we have is the search
  • A: We'll review it

• • Q: We need to add the ICE section to the contacts shortcuts
  • A: Yes! We do.

• • Q: What happen when I update a contact, that is ICE and we remove all the phone numbers, or we remove that contact
  • A: We need to work in those edge cases.

• • Q: When selecting contacts, what happen if we select a contact that doesnt have a phone number:
  • A: We can display as we do now in the webactivities a message saying that contact doesn't have phone number.

• • Q: Looks a bit complicated the navigation to setup the contacts
  • A: We know, but is our current navigation model, hopefully will change in the future.

• • Q: Should we setup just one phone per contact
  • A: No, we should display all, not restrinct the possibilities of calling

• • Q: If we don't have connection (or sim lock) should we show an action button (means click and see the no network, or pin lock screen)
  • A: Yes we are ok with that, we use the flow of a normal call.

• • Q: What about dsds?
  • A: Use the default sim, if we have setup 'always ask', we should display current behaviour -> show sim chooser

• • Q: Can we scroll the ICE contacts so we don't show always?
  • A: We will be missing the whole point of someone else discovering the emergency contacts.

• • Q: Can we put the ICE on the settings instead of on the list?
  • A: We don't have that pattern on the contacts list/app.

• • Q: Can we get ride of the switch selecting the ICE?
  • A: Great point we all have concerns, we'll keep the switches now but this can change in the future. Here are a list of alternatives we discussed:
    • Adding a 'None' option to the contacts list to remove it: It will mean adding extra logic to the contacts list that we would like to avoid.
    • Adding an extra step, action menu to remove or select a new one: We will be introducing extra steps.
