Odd Popup.

[Zilliano]

I just got a popup when I opened up Handcent. The messages weren't showing up, only the contact name was, and...
Well, it was a white bar. It had several buttons on it, that I sadly can't remember (I accidentally closed it out)

I think it had something facebook related on it, or 'currently reading'.

Or some shit like that. The more I think about it, the more I think I'm having a hallucination.

Defining properties- small white bar near the top of the screen, with an arrow pointing towards the contact's name (Like a speech bubble.)


What the hell was this thing?

If you long press and then release on the contacts picture from the handsent inbox a white bar comes up with 5 shortcuts for the contact(Call, View Contact Card, Send SMS, Send Email, View Facebook profile.) It also shows the Facebook status update above this white bar. You can get the same shortcut menu in Gmail app when viewing an email message by holding down the radio button(green if contact is online, white if offline) that is next the the senders name... It must be a new addition for 2.1 maybe? I'm sure that this menu is also available in other apps when you see a contacts name...

I see.

THANK YOU.
So much.

I seriously thought I was going insane there. >_>

I've never thought to long-press on a contact's image before. I guess I accidentally did it.
