Yes manually creating that directory is a known bug with that release. Sorry about that.

For both of you:

• Have you successfully used Dialcentral before?
• Did you upgrade, clear the settings folder, uninstall/reinstall, or reflash between breakage?
• Can you name at least the date of when you first noticed it?

My small glimmer of a hope is that Google is rolling out a GoogleVoice upgrade and I just haven't seen it yet. If that is the case, I'll try and get a fix out as soon as possible to fix login. Otherwise, I'm baffled.

Just because I know people jump the gun on extras-devel, I thought I'd give a heads up that I just uploaded 1.0.6-6 to extras-devel. I've tested this on Ubuntu and within Mer 0.16-testing5. I won't have a chance to test it on Diablo until its in extras-devel so it could be broken.

The feature list for 1.0.6 at the point of 1.0.6-6 includes but not limited to:
* Adding seperator between dialcentral launches in log
* Implemented a work around for https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4957
* Disables notifications on uninstall
* Including a vastly improved py2deb for better packages (icons on package, etc)
* Tweaked sizes of stuff on recent tab
* Starting some work on rotation support for fremantle
* Made startup more error resistant
* Simplified menus
* Fremantle: Making various areas pannable
* Phone selection and SMS Message dialogs now use a tree view for the top part. This gives highlighting of the last message, easier scrolling, easier code, etc
* Added notifcations for various things like login and dialing
* UI Tweak: Switch to accounts tab when logging in and callback is blank as a sublte hint to configure it
* UI Tweak: Switch to accounts tab on failed login to remind the user they are not logged in
* Bug Fix: some dependencies for Diablo
* Bug Fix: Error on refreshing tabs when not logged in
* Bug Fix: #4471 Notification Checkbox Won't Stay Checked (hour roll over error)
* Bug Fix: Phone numbers in voicemails wouldn't appear
* Bug Fix: category for Fremantle/Diablo
* Bug Fix: needing to manually create "~/.dialcentral" due to earlier logging changes
* Bug Fix: dependencies for fremantle
* Bug Fix: Issues when trying to stack error messages
* Bug Fix: Python2.6 deprecates some stuff I did

EDIT1: There are several issues with the new UI work that I need to resolve

EDIT2: 1.0.6-8 seems to be doing the trick for me.

Just noticed it after a reflash...was working fine until then..was using it daily...reflashed on Sept 17...problem appeared after flash..did clear settings folder..have had issues with logging into google with other software so I will always believe that they are the cause of all the confusion

Gah, I had a really thorough reply typed up then Tear crashed.

I used Dialcentral pre 1.0 successfully. I forget what version it was, I had. I stopped using it until recently and I think a couple of updates came during that time. Not until I had 1.0.5-4 did I go to use it again and I couldn't log in. I tried it for the first time about a week ago.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling.
uninstalling, deleting .dialcentral/, reinstalling
uninstalling, deleting .dialcentral/, reinstalling, rebooting
No difference. I have not reflashed anything.

Nothing is logged to the console when run from the command line.

I think I'll try what is in extras-devel

EDIT: 1.0.6-5 is the same deal. No 'force' error when refreshing, though.

Figured it couldn't hurt to try the newest in developers...same experience
from the log I see that it is expecting info to already be in the settings.ini
wondering if I could manually edit the ini to contain the info it needs...

purged (using: apt-get --purge dialcentral....then manually removing the ini file and the file located in /usr/lib/dialcentral) the old ver then installed 1.0.6-7

here is the log

epage I was just giving 1.0.6-7 a run. The only thing I see "broke" at the moment is the contacts are not loading for me. I do love how the last message that was sent is highlighted. I gives it a nice clean look. I think that the screen that pops up when you click on a message is a little redundant as I noted on one of the messaging UI stream line requests, but thats minor.

Could you provide the location in your code that needs to be changed to make the font larger. I think I am the minority in wanting it larger so I'll do it manually with a little direction from you.

Thanks for the progress and keep working on it. I find myself checking daily to see if there is a new build

**EDIT** Can you possibly add the option to type in the time to check for new messages again. I found that 2 mins was my sweet spot and its a goner. Maybe an "Other" setting that lets you type in the time.

**EDIT2** The refresh for messages also appears to be broke. It shuts off the blinking LED but does not update the message list.

I haven't explicitly tested refreshing messages but overall 1.0.6-8 should make things a lot better. My new (broken) notification code seemed to have broken other things as well.

I really need some help in organizing all of this together into something that's easy and manageable.

I have:
3 email accounts including hotmail, yahoo, and gmail
1 cell phone
1 house phone
Pidgin
Tear web browser installed

I guess I'm having diffculty understanding how to tie all of these together.

Could a few people care to share their working setup on how you find it easiest to send and receive voice and text messages?

Thanks.

A lot depends on the cell plan you have. If you have a my circle, you can set up google voice to transmit YOUR google voice caller ID on each incoming call, making all calls you receive free. You can then see who is calling by answering the phone. If you dont want to talk to em just hang up and they never know If you are a real cheap skate, you can even make all your calls for free by calling your google voice # from the cell (free in the "my circle" situation) and then initiating the outgoing call from your voicemail menu. Personally I found myself using my cell at home all the time. So I ditched it and went prepaid for emergencies only and invested in a magicjack for home. Lets face it, most of us are not important/entertaining enough to justify being on the phone all the time! I use gizmo5 on the tablet as it receives calls from google voice for free. Home phone I have magicjack (line 1) set up on an ata and gizmo5 (Line 2, different from the N810 account). I then have each line associated with google voice. For text messages I was originally using google email with my tablet. Since notifications are now possible with dialcentral, I am using it to text. You can have both gmail and hotmail on your tablet, Yahoo does not support POP3 or IMAP.

Now, my outgoing calls from home show up a different number than what people call me on (google voice). It was a bit confusing at first to most of the people that called, but once they stored both numbers in their cell phone it was easy for them to remember which to call. When dialing from the nokia via dialcentral it will show your google voice number.

It took a few weeks, but now everyone calls my google voice number. I have all my voice mails turned off so Google Voice handles it all. If I get a voice mail, I am notified by dial central blink and I also set up my gmail account to receive notifications from the GV website for fail safe. It may seem a bit redundant, but its nice to have back up in case one goes down.

*** I use the built in client for gizmo5 SIP connection as it automatically connects whenever I am online. No need for a second client. Also, depending on the IM services you use, the built in client now supports most protocols with the RTCOMM beta release (search the boards for install instructions). I like having everything built in a nice little package. Less programs I need to run the better If you need more ideas let me know.
