And saving the Roll call outline text as a document (using Notes on the iPhone) is a great idea.

On Androids, you don't get the popup confirmation, it just take you to the lounge. I've found that sometimes if I have bad service (i.e. in the park) I will be stuck on the uploading screen so long, that my phone will go into sleep mode. Everytime it does this, I get the grey on a picture, so tip to Android users: just tap the screen while it's loading to make sure phone doesn't go to sleep. - Sarafina398.8 #336 4-18-12 2:13PMLike(8) Reply
Great tip! Even if you don't get the Success message yet, the idea is the same, try to stay on that page till you see that it uploads. If it seems like bad service, it might be best to wait a bit. Even I do that. - Sweet_Irish_Cream 2584.8 #21 4-18-12 3:53PM
