Its fine. Its all new as of last night so I could better track people's requests because the thread was starting to overload me in tracking what all the requests were, how valid they still were, further comments on them, etc.

instead of the up arrow i hit the down arrow, accidentally set it to 0. Then all hell broke loose.

On the bottom of the screen, I have an error thats "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: the name com.noki..." And i can't get it to display the rest.

The alarm is permenently set to off, with zero is the number.
Any help?

Edit: and by alarm i mean notification

Edit: Ran it in terminal. complete error is "name com.nokia.alarmd was not provided by any .service files."

I have the same problem. I read this post: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=171 about editing alarm_queue.xml and I have some questions.

I'm a command line noob. I have root, and I can see alarm_queue.xml in Xterm, but I have not clue how to open and edit it.

How do I open and edit alarm_queue.xml? Is the command line the best way to do it? Is there another program I need to have installed before that will work?

Can I just delete alarm_queue.xml and reinstall DialCentral? Will I break other things if I do that?

Please help. Thanks.

I use nano for editing. #apt-get install nano

erase what you need
ctrl-o to save
ctrl-x to exit
reboot
voila, dialcentral working :D

Edit: The fix still worked. Thanks for the info epage.

This is highly worrisome. I just checked the code and both the widget and the setting of the alarm should not allow 0 as a value. Could you file a bug on this and I'll take a look at this?

Re: Dialcentral 1.0

Just upgraded from 1.03 to 1.04-5 and now I'm greeted with:

Code:

org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name dom.nokia...

That's along the bottom. What's going on?

I cannot set anything from within the app - notifications et al is greyed out. I have python2.5-dbus installed. And yet I'm getting errors.

Nevermind. Apparently my alarmd was not even running. I had to go into the services and noticed it was not even running... oops.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0

At night I turn off wifi(offline mode) to save battery life (I turn off wifi so when a new email comes the LED doesn't stay flashing all night and use up battery). But lately it seems to do the opposite. When I turn it on in the morning the battery has gone down more than during the day. I don't know if it is just my imagination, but it seems to be consistent. I'll try turning off notifications at night and see if it makes a difference. Anybody else experience this or is it just me?

Re: Dialcentral 1.0

OK first off Ill admit Im brand new to this. I do have a google voice acct set up. I installed 1.03, then upgraded to 1.04 (whichever one was avail a few days ago). I can start dialcentral just fine, login, and it does display my inbox/voice messages.

However when I enter a number, it simply does nothing. The dial button acts as if pressed, but nothing ever happens. Thought I saw mention of this earlier in the thread, but didnt notice any resolution.

Also I have NO OTHER account or dialer/voip type app configured on the 810, gizmo, skype etc. That whole bit confused me.

Am I missing something? Can I not just have google voice, login with dial central & make a call out?
