Support Firefox OS #1314

Open hfiguiere opened 11 years ago

hfiguiere commented 11 years ago

Firefox OS needs to be supported to allow uploading from a Firefox OS phone.

jmathai commented 11 years ago

Is there anything special here or just a problem resulting from us hiding the upload button based on screen size? (stupid, I know).

hfiguiere commented 11 years ago

Not being able to upload is part of the problem.

Also providing an "activity" so we can "upload to trovebox" directly from elsewhere.

jmathai commented 11 years ago

You've got a geeksphone, no? If you go to the uploader are you able to complete an upload?

hfiguiere commented 11 years ago

I don't have a trovebox account

The first problem I heard about this morning from a coworker is that he couldn't login from Firefox OS. Which somewhat also prevent from uploading yanno.

jmathai commented 11 years ago

They couldn't log in via Persona?

Let's ping @wanderview since the question is for him.

Hi! Yea, today was the first time I tried to use trovebox on my geeksphone keon running fxos 1.0.1. I must admit I only tried for 15 minutes or so.

I ran into a couple issues:

We (mozilla) currently have a separate firefoxos.persona.org domain with accounts that are separate from login.persona.org. This is temporary and should be going away soon. It confused me, though. :-)
Logging in with a username/password gave me an "unknown error has occurred" message.

I didn't have time troubleshoot it beyond that. Its possible the problem is on my end somehow.

I think long term it would be nice to have an app that can be installed and integrates with Gallery, Camera, MMS via activities. Ultimately I want to be able to upload photos when my wife texts them to me.

Logging in with a username/password gave me an "unknown error has occurred" message.

That sounds like a JS error. We need to fallback to processing the login via a normal HTTP post (which is what is probably happening due to a JS error).

Unfamiliar with what needs to be added to support activities but that should definitely be tracked in a sub issue.

I'm labeling this as a meta issue for all Firefox OS issues.

Note, I can reproduce the "unknown error has occurred" message using the B2G desktop, so a device should not be necessary to investigate. I don't see anything in the console, though. Do you output anything when this happens?

jmathai commented 11 years ago

@wanderview I anticipate it's a JS error. From my experience these are hard to catch when it leads to the page refreshing (and thereby clearing the console).

I'll have a look on the B2G desktop.
