Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

Mind sending in a log so I can see what the real error is that I must somewhere convert to an authentication error?

Also any issues with Dialcentral?

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

Hi Epage,

I have the same problem, but it happens with my google voice/talk account. I have to go into the account and hit "save" and then it connects. I don't know which logs you need ( if you wanted to look from another perspective ) but would be more than happy to send them to you if you point me in the right direction / you need them.

Dial Central works great no problems...I like the direct integration better than having to run Dial Central..

BTW I have

gmail
google voice
facebook chat (using Jabber)
Skype

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

Sent you the log via e-mail. But no problems with dialcentral, just tor.

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

Let me get this straight by "google voice/talk" you mean both of them?

One thing someone could do is if you have this easily reproducible to run "dbus-monitor --session > log". I say easily because that log is very chatty and can contain passwords as well as other things.

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

I decided to uninstall and re-install TOR to see what would happen. Nothing changed, all the problems remained.

I then went ahead and uninstalled completely using:
then re-installed.

I now get all my messages, but I am now only using GV contacts. Before I had disabled gv contacts and was just using the regular contacts. Is the regular contact feature having known issues at this time? **EDIT** I'm starting to think the only issue I had with that was the fact that I was not using GV contacts.

I am still getting a network error issue from time to time when switching Internet connections.

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

Not that I'm aware of...

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

I just tried sending a text message to someone using regular contacts... the text does not show up in the IM screen, however when I check my GV account, the text shows up as having been sent.

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

I had both of them! But it was the google voice one that was having connectivity issues (sometimes skype, rarely facebook)

(((((I have clarified in my mind the difference between the google voice and google talk. (google talk is software on a pc that allows to chat...as far as I am aware, you can not do that with the n900...right?))))

I just reflashed (for other reasons) and will monitor and do a log if necessary.

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

of course you can use Google talk as well, it is one of the built in chat clients. just go to accounts and add your google talk account.

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

Yeah. I wasn't thinking when I typed that. I have edited my remarks.

Argh can't get it to work, tried deleting and starting over. To bad since I was going rely on it this weekend for the conference I am attending.

Meh, hopefully DC's alerts will be good enough.

Hi,

I've been using theonering for months now and the most recent version has been quite solid for a while now. I want to pay for it, but I can't see how. Your web pages do not have a link to a PayPal donation button and a search of this thread only reveals a single person who asked a similar question. Please let me know how I can send a donation to you for all of your hard work that has made the N900 a viable device for me to use.

Re: [Announce] The One Ring (Google Voice Integration for Conversations and Phone)
 

I view payment for free software in 3 categories, bounties, donations, and patronage. As I'm not seeking patronage for my work nor generally working by bounty I don't advertise it but I leave payments on a as-requested-by-user basis. My email address for paypal is eopage AT byu DOT net.

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

Just want to announce that MyContacts now can initiate calls and send SMS using TOR. More information here

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

Hi epage I figured out the problem, i was using my full gmail addy instead of just the username part.

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

If I add an contact to my google voice account does it add it to my phone contact list as well like update my address as soon as I add the contact online?

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

There are a couple of settings, one to pull down your GV contacts, one to use system contacts, and one for how often to refresh the GV contacts. This only updates TOR contact information only.

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

Thanks :) I will try it out soon.

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

Is there any way to get messages pushed to the phone instead of polling? I really like the integration that TOR offers, but sms messages take a while to show up on the device (polling is set to every 10 minutes).

I ended up using gvmax, and it works great except for the fact that I have to manually add addresses for contacts.

Android has push messaging for google voice sms, but I am not sure how they implemented it (and I don't think the code is available).

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

I really do not want to setup a server or play with IMAP to do what gvmax does.

I've not found out how Android does things. I would love to.

So for now that leaves polling or disabling TOR's SMS support and using SMS through email.

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

Lately, this has not worked. It used to be that I would merely have to open the settings, wait a bit, then close. The last couple of weeks, though, I have had to disable, wait more than just a couple of seconds, then reenable. Just disabling and immediately reenabling doesn't work all the time any more.

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

This sounds like TOR is getting into some kind of bad state that is requiring it to stop/restart. To speed up reconnects TOR waits for 10 seconds of not being logged in before shutting down.

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

Is it a way to make the text msg I get from people to stop coming up as IMs?

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

You mean thru this implementation? No, not that I know of.

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

What is it you are looking for? For them to come through the SMS UI? (isn't the SMS UI almost exactly the same?)

Are you looking for TOR not to display your SMS at all so you can use your cell service to respond or respond by email, etc? If its this case then in the advanced settings set the update interval for SMS to -1

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

What I'm saying if when I get an sms it comes the regular way than 2 seconds later comes as an IM from the same contact. So you saying setting it to -1 will stop it coming as an IM. I downloaded this so I can have my google voice contacts in my address and the option to dial regular or google voice on the dial pad. Which is something I needed. Still loving dial central app though.

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

I have this problem before. You have to login to you GV account and uncheck send sms to phone. cheer. Happy TORing.
ps. epage any update on autopickup or direct callout?

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

Been too busy, maybe I'll get to it (or someone else :) )

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

I agree. A direct dial would be awesome!

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

Hi, sorry I don't follow this thread costantly... I just got my N900 back from repair and lost all my contacts, but I still have some of them on Google voice.
I was trying to initiate calls from GV, but it seems to not be working
It starts the call, then says "Call Disconnected" but I never get the call back from google voice.

Is the feature just broken or is it just me?
thanks

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

When TOR makes a call, it starts but then goes "disconnected". A real incoming call should then happen. If you are not getting the incoming call then that is a problem. Have you confirmed the callback number is the correct one? Could you email or PM a log to me? Anything show up on the gv website?

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

My forwarding number was set correctly, and I also have it set on my voice.google.com account to the correct number.
I checked the log, so I could send it to you, and I noticed that the forwarding number it was sending to was incorrect.
For some reason the "screen name" that was being displayed under the GV settings on the N900 was the wrong forwarding number. Apparently TOR was sending the call to the wrong forwarding number, even though the correct number was in the "Forward" box.

I changed my "screen name" to the correct forwarding number, and now the call is forwarded correctly.

I'm emailing you a copy of my log.

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

Been using this app for quite some time and this is my main app for txting now, no longer use the GSM txt service but I still have a question:
How can I use my system contacts to send a txt. I start a new IM conversation using TOR but then I have to manually copy the number, why cant i pick up the number from my contacts? Preferably, I dont want to use GV contacts, because I dont keep all my conacts on GV website, my phone has the mastercopy.
If the info is already there on how to do this, can someone please point me to it,

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

If I might make a suggestion - do not populate the avatar/picture in the contacts comming down from Google Voice with a default icon.

I noitced that my contacts that did have a picture set, all got overwritten when I merged the contacts. :( Other than that, it seems to work great!

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

Yeah, TOR is kind of schizophrenic in taking the number form either and advanced setting or the nickname, sometime I should go and clear that up. The nice thing about nickname is it can change without a login/logout (I think that is required if changing a setting ...).

Feel free to file a bug about the confusion of this with any suggestions on what way it should go.

There is an advanced setting to not display GV contacts through TOR. I've tried to enable TOR links on system contacts but there is a bug and it only allows me to set either SMS or Call and I don't have control over which so there can't be a setting for it.

I agree overwriting on merge is bad. I'm mixed about either making a setting for this (its nice at a glance to know phone type) or somehow learn more about merging to make TOR have lower priority.

Please file a bug.

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

Is there a way to get this working without an internet connection, or is that not possible?

If not, approximately how much data does this app use to initiate a GV callback / send text messages?

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

I don't think any implementation of a GV client can operate without a dataplan. They would have to be setup to auto-navigate the phone menus and take in your PIN. It is possible but not a priority.

Dialcentral is designed to use exactly what you explicitly ask for and no more. It has the same cost as using the website.

TOR has support for polling for SMS / Voicemail / Contacts. These can be configured to be minimized or even disabled. It then takes as much as you ask for except it does double check that you are logged in when transferring networks. Maybe, maybe I could minimize this even more. So the cost of this is opening/closing the web browser every time you change networks.

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

What do you mean? I'm using it with an empty SIM card now, and I used it with no SIM whatsoever for like the first month or so.

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

I thnk Ed means data connectivity. Not necessarily SIM card based data - even Wifi will do - TOR uses the Internet to do magic.

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

Correction: Some data connection, dataplan or WIFI. What I mean is that I don't know of a client that works only with a voice connection.
