You are the second person to report this issue but I haven't had any luck trying to reproduce it. I would appreciate if you could answer the following questions:

When you click on the image do you get the same image with the contact information or do you get the right image then? do you ever get the right image? what if you click on a contact while on the "contacts" mode does it show the right image then?

I can also confirm almost all the pictures are assigned to the wrong person. I never get the right image no matter what I try.

As for as I know, the problem with this approach is that then you have to do the whole housekeeping with the sound - stop it if the phone hangs or if the person picks up, see if the silence profile is on and not play it, and such. Even though I think the workaround used in the python script I referred to is far from the ideal - temporarily override the location for the ringtone file - it's the best way I know to deal with it, because the phone app is a closed-source application and can't be changed or debugged.

Hi, great app. But is it possible to add opening a Google Voice IM session?

I would love to but I don't really know how it works and I don't have an account to even test it.

I can create connections to anything that supports DBus messages or, worst case, I can just call scripts passing the phone as an argument.

I am still struggling/hoping that I will figure out a way to handle skype calls but so far no luck. I can only assume there must be a nokia dbus message to start the "phone api" calling skype but haven't had any luck finding someone that knows which.

Oh that's fine then (epage maintains the google voice functionality through tor (not the routing tor) if you want to talk with him.

If I'm typing I would be in landscape mode anyway to use the keyboard so this works well for my use cases as is already.

Unfortunately you are right and it will get complicated quickly. The very first thing that the system does when you get a call is to mute the other "audio players" so you can listen to it ringing...

Yes, found it ... There is a bug with the thumbnails on contacts or emails mode. I will fix on the next release...

Yes, right now is a "dumb" algorithm but I have to say that I already like it better than having all the numbers without any separation (like on the standard application). I have international phone numbers with +, some phone numbers with area code and some without on my cell. Some countries have 3 digit prefix (e.g. US), some have 4 (e.g. Brazil) and the international code is not standard (it can be 1,2,3,4 or even more digits long) so it is a little more complicated to format them that one would hope.
...<snip>
Just an idea - You could start from the end in order to separate. That is, from back to front 4, 3, 2 or 3 if last digit, and all other left.

... but maybe you have a better one already.

Thanks for sharing.
