No. I feel TOR and Dialcentral serve mostly non-overlapping purposes. Dialcentral is not and has never been meant to be a active IM type application (why re-invent the wheel?). Part of my focus with it also has been battery life which even with my smart polling can be an issue.

Dialcentral is an interface to Google Voice. You need a Google Voice username and password.

Going back to the previous conversation about DC having it's own touch screen keyboard I think is too much to ask of Ed, even if he is an obvious sadist. *lol*

Features like highlight, copy, paste, etc., we would basically be asking him to make his own word processor.

Anyway, I posted a topic about the hildon keyboard.

Hopefully I'll get a response from someone.

I could do one right now using Xkbd but it would require using the hardware keys to open and close it.

So I'll wait and see what happens with my new topic.

Hey Ed, would it be simple to code a digital clock on DC?

Whats the reason behind wanting a clock, especially with status bar clocks existing for Maemo 4.1 and a clock builtin to Maemo 5?

As caution for those actively watching extras-devel, I've uploaded 1.1.0.

Includes
  • "+" support
  • Multi-part sms
  • Unofficial support for importing contacts
  • Misc other stuff

I guess we'll see how much I broke

EDIT: My hope is "+" was the limitation behind gizmo not working, I'd be interested to see if peple have gizmo broken right before update and if its fixed after

Will try out the new version tonight.

Ed, we've all said it a number of times, but again, you're incredible.

No reason at all, Ed.

You mentioned earlier about changing up the screen layout and I thought maybe you would want it to look more like some of the commercial apps available for Google Voice.



So yeah, I'm just trying to keep this topic active by making needless requests.

epage, props for the great work!
I have a request - DC should use the call out number provided by GV. I know that this isn't possible with TOR given the nature of the plugin, but that shouldn't be a design constraint in DC (standalone app).

Also, a pony.

Pretty please?

That layout looks very similar to DC except its in portrait. I am doing a bit of contemplation for optimizing the portrait layout (for Maemo 5)

Oh, where it provides you a number to call? I'm curious, what is the draw of this approach?

In my case the particular reason for this is because of the way I have DC set up:
Case #1: DC is configured to dial to my skype number. I have skype on my home dect phone in addition to my n900. If I'm home and I make a DC call, GV calls my skype number and I suddenly have everything ringing around me.

Case #2: DC is configured to call my gizmo number which is only configured on the n900. Gizmo sometimes just does not work correctly. So quite often, I make a DC call, and the call that is supposed to reach my gizmo never actually activates on my n900, but GV then *does* go to the other party and all they hear is a wall of silence.

If DC were to initiate the call to the number that GV provides, case #1 is taken care of automatically. Errors like the one in case #2 are also immediately brought up in DC itself - allowing me to take remedial actions without letting the other party get frustrated.

Installed 1.1.0-8 and nothing seems broken...and...HOLY COW....have you fixed the SMS entry-window???!?!

I can now see the characters left all the time - AND the text wraps at the right side of the window (both if minimized and full-screen)!!

Did this come in this release?

AWEESSOOMME!!!

(If I were super nit-picky I'd say that the text starts awfully close to the left side of the screen. Maybe pad the left side with a few more pixels but seriously, this is fantastic).
What is the multi-part SMS supposed to be about?
