First time setup should be smarter

[Bill Filler]

When running telegram for the first time, I am asked to choose a country and phone number. A couple enhancements could make this better.

1) the location field should default to something sensible, either based on the users location (via location service?) or lookup their locale and make a sensible guess? Currently it defaults to Afganistan and to get to the United States I have to scroll through a very long list.

Or maybe you could have better defaults and search field to search for the country so you don't have to scroll

2) would be awesome if you could access the phone number of the phone and prepopulate the phone number field but don't think you have permissions for this?

Hi Bill,

Thanks, these are good remarks.
1) Regarding the country list I wonder - is it obvious you can just type '1' in the country code field? (Question is orthogonal to your suggestions, which I agree with).
2) Roberto mentioned that you asked about this. I'll have to check whether we can access MSISDN.

It wasn't so obvious I guess. Maybe if the phone number field was above country field I would have typed my number and seen country automatically selected which would be nice.

at least should be straight forward to select the county code, right now is a huge list...

[Jin (jindallo)]

Now we will try to follow the design on Android,
to place a search button on the "huge list" to filter out the countries by search keyword.

Firstly, need to check if design involves Asemantools,
we prefer to keep this feature only in our Qml.

For pass criteria, if we can do a search on the huge list to make the other option to our user,
I will approve this design/feature, for this bug.

[Paz Chauhan (paz-chauhan)]

The search feature proposed allows the user to search on a country name, but currently not the native name i.e. the name of the country written in it's native alphabet. You cannot search on other country attributes provided in the CSV file, such as country codes, e.g. US, GB.

[Jin (jindallo)]

Bug fixed,
and verified pass on developer side.

The change list is submitted as rev. 195,
