The dialpad has no effect during calls, that's a limitation of the built in VoIP client.

It's theoretically possible, but would require replacing the entire VoIP UI and not something I would undertake.

Is there any work being done to save the cookie file so that logging into mobile.grandcentral.com isn't necessary? It's a minor inconvenience so I don't think it's a high priority, but l'm looking forward to the next release.

This is 100% fixed in the next version. It has it's own mini browser that keeps it's own cookies and authentication.

Yea, hold off on building an entire new Voip app for the tablet:D Is it alternatively possible to do any of the following:

1. After placing a call, the dialpad could be linked somehow to the internet call's dialpad to send the tones, or

2. Once a call is placed, the internet call app opens, but instead of clicking on the menu and selecting dialpad, it is automatically opened for the user.

If none of those are simple to implement don't waste your time. Just a lazy suggestion.

If you make a call using GC system GC does not provide tone sending. So a link to any dialpad will not work.

OK I just tried changing the callback Number to my home number and found that tone dialing WORKS. :o The call was handled by Level Two Network.

That Account page is a great tool! Now we will not have to worry about GC cookies, and we can change 'Callback number' on the fly (all from one application/tab) Slick. :cool:

Re: Grandcentral Dialer Application
 
I just want to add my thanks to brontide for this effort. The app works well enough now, but the new improved version looks, well..new and improved, esp the account function. Keep up the good work.

BTW, did I see that you are not going to post .debs for this or did I misunderstand (a frequent occurance:eek:)?

Re: Grandcentral Dialer Application
 
Things are looking up. I got the rundown from z2n on how to package up the .deb I will probably be releasing a version within 24 hours. I don't think "recent" will make the cut for this release, there are just too many things that I don't quite know how to make work.

Thanks for everyone that's given feedback do far.

My goal is to nail down loose ends and push all new features for 0.7 and that should include.

1) Bugfixes ( anything that we find )

2) Recents - Downloaded from you inbox on the fly.

3) osso integration so that Maemo can shutdown the app seamlessly when it needs ram

4) Adding a URI for activating the app ( so, say GCDIAL:8005551212 would activate the application and try dialing ).

Longer term stuff are going to generally center around expanding the backend library, possibly splitting it out for other projects to use as well. Spinning off a desktop/gtk version will be big on my list as well. There are just enough differences that make it hard to keep 1 version of the app.

Thank you o'll wait for next release.
I wish dialer will call direct to phone number, not through Internet Call (where i had to accept incomming call from GC number)
Dial a number--> wait for Internet Call pop up-->click accept-->then call start ring(sometime not)

Re: Grandcentral Dialer Application
 
Also, i like this dial pad pop up everytime i receive a call so i can select 1 to accept the call ( for GC + gizmo user). We should separate this application from Internet Call.

Not to be mean, but this is not possible without rewriting the VoIP client.

I suggest you submit your feature request to Nokia so they can implement a more sane VoIP client.
