Yeah I seem to notice some of my calls made through there have an odd effect. It'll make the call to Gizmo (I'll get a blank voicemail from Gizmo) but not to the other # (I never get a prompt from the tablet to answer/make the call).

For clarification, is it using the wrong callback number or is it the dialing of that callback number thats acting funky?

Dialing of the callback # I think?

I have it setup so ..

DialCentral starts the call thru Google Voice -> Gizmo -> Tablet (setup with Gizmo information).

Sometimes dialcentral will go through, sometimes it won't. When it won't, I get a message from Gizmo saying a voicemail has been left for me but it's just silence. When it works fine, no email saying a voicemail is there for me and I can make calls.

When I make calls using the regular interface it seems to work. So I haven't figured out yet if it's a dialcentral issue or if it's an Internet/routing issue. Since it seems to be making it to Gizmo at least.

Specific issues I'm hoping to address
* EL_EASY's inability to launch due to D-BUS
* sw09's issue with missing XML dependencies causing a crash on launch
* Rare but possible situation of transfers with GrandCentral/GoogleVoice failing partway through

ok I updated to version 9.4 everything is FINE so far. Thanks

epage in what world u living? sms is the most popular app in cellphone in USA, people use it 90% of the time, like school,work & home. I use it more than phone call..lol Also i'd love u put Dialcentral n' sms together it'll be the most powerful app in earth.

But the problem with putting it in dialcentral is that you would have to leave dialcentral open to use it. Right now, if I want to make a phone call I just click dialcentral and click on a contact or type in the phone #. If I wanted to get alerted to SMS messages I would always have to run dialcentral. Instead if it was tied into the system, say chat where it can run as a background process.

Yes I am somewhat backwards when it comes to the whole cell phone thing and proud of it. I've had mine for 2 years and it was with much annoyance that I got one (and several family members still don't have one).

Call me old fashion, but I dislike the idea of talking or texting everywhere. I prefer as in person communication as possible and prefer to give preference to those immediately around me than those distant. I see texting as a possible alternative to a phone call for when the overhead of a conversation is greater than the payload of the message.

Laughing Man has some of my feel as for why I don't want to integrate SMS. I wouldn't mind it for fire and forget messages but for the more common usage pattern of people it seems like you would get a mediocre sms app with a (hopefully) decent dialer. It seems much more effective to have GoogleVoice sms support plug into something like RTComm so that than you get a better chat app where if someone makes an improvement all protocols get the benefit.

Hello,
My dialcentral is suddenly not being able to log in. I am wondering if this is an isolated issue or an issue across the board. I installed 2 apps tonight and am wondering if something is conflicting. One was DBus-Switchboard (if its my setup I think this is the problem) and Claws mail. I have since uninstalled claws. I opened up the dbus switchboard to check it out but it appeared too advanced for me and closed it. It does however look like it changed some things as they are highlighted in green. Again if its simply the app stoped working just ignore the above ;) Thanks for the replys

You are correct. I just tested it and it looks like they changed the formatting on their webpage, breaking my screen scraping. I've created a fix but have that pesky work thing. I will try and get a new package out tonight.
