Brontide should be the name of the app, immortalize it! There's no need to redundantly rename it to Dialer or the likes, we already know it's purpose... Brontide, it actually sounds an intriguing word (don't know if it means anything but it does make you wonder the meaning...)

Anyone with me?

n. sound like distant thunder, due to seismic causes.
Not sure if it really shows what the app does... :-P My vote goes for DialerCentral, if anyone's keeping track...

I just upgraded to 0.7-2, and I gotta say this thing is as perfect as it can be for me. Great job really!

Nope, we have to live with the VoIP clients at this point. I don't know anyone bold enough to try fixing them.
Seems like most of my issues are with the Voip client, and I'm not bold enough to tackle them.

Thanks for the reply, I'll hang onto it for now.

It looks nice, but I really have to test it to tell. I hope you can fix that bogus tab problem.
Thanks.

Just wondering had you have any luck with the alpha, if not no big deal I will use the beta Dialer.

Life has kept me busy. I'll .deb up the latest changes to see if it makes any difference.

Hey, I tried to upgrade to .7-2 and it says:

Quote:

Unable to install Grandcentral_Dialer
I was using version .6 with no issues and am not sure if the attempt to install was successful because it still runs fine. The "Application Manager" shows the broken red exclamation icon next to "grandcentral_dialer" and shows it as 0.7. The "About" does not tell you the version you have just "Copyright 2008".

I guess, as long as it still works it's no big deal but just was curious.

Got it to work. I rm all files that had gc_dialer in their names, reinstall and problem is gone! Thanks for your time. :D

Suggestions:
1.) When a number is selected from the Recent tab to be dialed, only the number is displayed in the Keypad tab, what about displaying the name and number?

2.) If the Dialer is used without the Gizmo or Rtcomm applications running in the background the number dial will ring (when the party answers they will hear your Gizmo voice mail recording) but it will not ring on the N8xx. To avoid this confusion why not have a setting in the Account tab where one can select a default "phone" to ring on the N8xx.
