Re: DialCentral 0.9.0
 
I have tried to experiment with some fixes for different issues or at least provided better debug information to help track down suspected causes of issues.

I would appreciate it if people, especially those having issues, would give this a try before promoting this to extras
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d....9.4-1_all.deb

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

I updated today (N810 showed the update i didn't d/l the deb you listed above. the about shows 0.9.4 so i'm not positive its the latest) since the jpdate it seems to log in a little faster. i never had any issues with this app previously except for it losing its login. hnas not happened yet since the update but i will let u know if it does

As a warning, you might have enabled extras-devel. I just checked in extras to confirm I did not promote the package to it.

Glad to hear that its running well for you though.

As for the losing the login, one possible cause is that we use cookies like a webbrowser, and the cookie is expiring. With DoneIt I've played a bit with config files (the security of storing passwords has always concerned me). While my solution there isn't perfect, I think its satisfactory enough I might pull it into DialCentral

thanks for the quick response. i know you are bug smashing at the moment but i'm wondering if sms is something in the future of the app. not only sending but receiving. i'm using this nokia as a cell replacement while i'm out of a job and smsing throughh email like i am doing while is functional, confuses most people who get them :) keep the updates comming this app for me is irreplaceable

I've thought about it but I worry that SMS would not fit well within the scope of DialCentral but would be better as a separate app. Along with that I am not a heavy SMS user and am instead spending my extra time on other projects.

Re: DialCentral 0.9.0
 
talk about a heartbreaker ;) i can understand you lack of interest not being an smser but i think it would integrate quite well. a simple pop up screen when clicking on your contacts name asking to dial or message just makes my mouth water. Again thanks so much for the hard work and look forward to using this app for a long time

Is there an API yet? There are already two Google Voice iPhone apps, both have dialing and sms working.

I am not aware of an official API which could make life easier over all.

My vision for how SMS would work is to either be a stand alone app that is more like a chat client or to integrate with RTComm. It could even share a lot of backend stuff with DialCentral.

It stops working again on Google Voice, both 9.3 and 9.4 versions. It works fine on Grandcental. I am glad I still have another account with Grandcentral.

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?

Laughing Man 2009-05-08 17:26
Re: DialCentral 0.9.0
 
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.

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.

Laughing Man 2009-05-09 01:56
Re: DialCentral 0.9.0
 
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.

Re: DialCentral 0.9.0
 
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.

Oops, accidentally left in one of my debug prints, but I guess that kind of helps.

This debug output is saying that you haven't successfully logged in yet. I'm unsure as to why its hanging though. I do all of my development on my desktop computer (Ubuntu 9.04 right now also).

One nice thing about desktops though: Do you feel trusting enough to create me a low privileged account with ssh access enabled so that I can try and debug it?

I'm gonna be on the road for a few days, so I'm not gonna be able to do that right away. I'll take a crack at the code myself in the meantime and see if I can maybe figure out what's going on, and if not I'll see if I can set you up an account when I get back. Thanks.

Wasn't originally going to say anything till the changes were complete and in extras-devel but since someone is looking at the SVN version anyways...

Latest SVN? Then you've started to see my (not so) secret changes I started yesterday. Still a little buggy, one tab isn't working at all yet, and still some UI improvements I need to make. Keeping those in mind, feedback would be appreciated.

Note: 0.9.6 is in extras-devel, it works on desktop linux (Ubuntu) but seems to fail on Maemo.

If you are on the desktop, feel free to play with the new UI tweaks. Otherwise, wait till I figure out what broke.

Feedback on the UI tweaks is welcome.

I dislike the way I have to log in again after a period of time. I would like to be able to log in once and forget about it. I want to leave a tablet running DialCentral beside the kitchen phone for my wife to use to call her mother long distance, but when she goes to use it, everything is grey and I have to log in again.

I do agree with this, I have just been hesitant about this due to the idea of storing security credentials. I will go ahead and probably implement this next.

On a related note to to timeouts, after a period of time, the recent tab, the new special tab, and the contacts tab force a refresh. Would you prefer to not have it timeout but to manually refresh an individual tab when wanted?

Yeah, I haven't had a chance to look at it yet but I think its because my desktop, when upgrading to Jaunty, upgraded to an incompatible version of Glade. That'll be a pain to fix if it is the case. At least I didn't promote it to extras but instead tested it first.

Hey, at least once this bug is resolved, you'll have your viewing of SMS messages / voicemail transcripts and the ability to send SMS messages. Hmm, maybe it was downplaying it a bit to call it a minor UI update.

I raised concerns about this a long time ago, but brontide pointed out that my passwords are stored in plain text all over the place on the tablet anyway. So I just have to accept that. But use gconf to store the password, like the other tablet apps. That adds a layer of security-by-obscurity.

Since i didn't feel like I had enough time to debug the maemo issue tonight due to other obligations, I went ahead and implemented settings including storing of username/password (as base64 data encoding so as to keep it from being plaintext). This does not resolve session timeouts which I have next on my plate along with getting it to work again on Maemo

Its fairly simplistic. Messages are an extra tab. They will display voicemail transcripts (with the emphasis on better understood words) and sms conversations. Currently I was only planning on manual refreshes. A notification app could be built on top of the code I have written to interface with GoogleVoice.

When selecting a recent call, a message, or a contact, a dialog popups up displaying what you selected, the phone number to call, and a buttons to choose to send a message, to call them, or send the number to the dialpad. When writing an SMS you get a dialog that displays the conversation and a textbox with a character countdown.

Re: DialCentral 0.9.0
 
your work is greatly appreciated. notification of an sms would be ideal in my opinion. I am using my n810 as a cell replacement and use email at the moment for sms. its functional but confusing to people when they get a text from an address. with notification in place it would, at least for me, saave me 50 dollars a month. is it possible to take advantage of nokias notify system already in place? either way thanks for all the progress you are making and in turn making my n810 a must have at all time.
