Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Interesting....

After sending a SMS text to a friend and then prophylactically (sorry, couldn't think of a better word) refreshing messages right afterwards, the sent text shows up in Dial Central but I'll still get a LED notification a minute later.

It appears that something more will need to be done besides automatically refreshing messages after sending a text to not receive back an unnecessary notification.

Also, this was mentioned before, but when viewing the Messages screen by default, the text is being wrapped much too early and doesn't even get close to the scroll bar.

Would you like me to file a bug on this?

Not sure if anyone brought this one up before either, but is it possible to launch Dial Central in Full Screen mode without having to toggle for it?

If so, I'll rifle that one off as a request as well.

Now, about creepy neutered icon dude I asked about before... anyone got some advice for this? :)

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Yes, I am aware of that. Dialcentral currently has no direct interaction with the notifier checking for updates. All it does is turn off the LED. I have been thinking of how best to resolve this.


FIle a bug with a screenshot attached?

I could add that in. I actually do it or have done it in the past with another app. Go ahead and file an enhancement.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Bump, I haven't seen a log or heard anything else about this issue. Come on, I want it resolved and Dialcentral in Fremantle Extras :)

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Sorry, I've been so swamped I haven't had time to figure out how to get at the log file... :(

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

I can definitely understand the business of real life

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Hi epage,

Look like your program very interesting.
Could you like to give advice how to install this program on Karmic Amd64?

I want to try it before will get n900....

Thank you advance...

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Hey, can someone post the current icon?

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Has anyone already reported the text wrapping issue when composing a new message? I never get more than one line wrapped, so it's impossible to write longer messages correctly.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

People have reported it but nobody has filed a bug yet

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Please tell me I'm reading incorrectly i.e. in order to know if a SMS has arrived one needs to do a manual refresh and there's no automatic notification?

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

I too am unable to make calls with 1.0.7-14.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Google doesn't have a communication protocol like XMPP for GoogleVoice, so the only interface I have is the web pages. I have strong concern over opting every user in to polling of the GoogleVoice website, for performance and battery-life reasons.

For Maemo 4.1 and Maemo 5 there should be an option in the "Accounts" tab to enable notification support along with how frequently you would like it to check the website. The default way of getting notified is the notification LED. The way to turn this off is refreshing the Messages tab manually

The downside is that notification support doesn't really communicate with Dialcentral such that you have to still manually refresh the Dialcentral "Messages" tab. Also, refreshing the messages tab just turns off the flashing LED, it doesn't tell the notification support in advance to not notify the user.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Did you censor your callback number or have you not set one? I'm working on improving harassing the user when they don't set a callback number.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Very nice.

Out of curiosity, what are your top-5 things to work on/improve on for this application?

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Hi epage, Would you like to do it?
I tried to install your package but had problem with dependences from maemo for AMD64. Like python-osso.

Thank you advance

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Yes, technically that is a "recommends" or "optional" but I think I had issues with Maemo not acting upon those so I had to mark them as a "depends". I'll look into this To make it easier to remember to do so, you could always file me an enhancement bug about this.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Thanks epage!
I just fill bug #6103

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Great, I'll use this and post an icon asap.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Callback number censored. Gizmo5 on my n800 is reporting the "callbacks" as missed.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0.7-14
 

Re: Dialcentral 1.0.7-14

I installed this package on Debian Lenny. It works wonderfully even though I cannot seem to track down these packages:

dialcentral depends on python-osso | python2.5-osso; however:
Package python-osso is not installed.
Package python2.5-osso is not installed.
dialcentral depends on python-hildon | python2.5-hildon; however:
Package python-hildon is not installed.
Package python2.5-hildon is not installed.

Does anyone know if these are available?

I was really hopeful that the taskbar icon / notifications would work in debian, but they do not.

The notification option is totally grey'd out.

Would this work if I had these missing packages?

If not, do you think I could twist your arm Mr. Developer to add support for this on debian? I'm sure all of the ubuntu users would love this as well.

Thanks in advance, and i love DC on my n800.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

That to me suggests its some kind of Gizmo / GoogleVoice problem and not Dialcentral. I actually can't even use my Gizmo account for odd reasons and end up using sipgate (I think).

Re: Dialcentral 1.0.7-14
 

About getting packages specifically for Debian-based systems, see bug 6103.

As for some of the packages: python-hildon, python-osso, python-alarm (in the Fremantle packages) are all Maemo specific packages. Notification support is built on top of a Maemo specific architecture. It could possibly be adapted to the desktop using upstart/cron/whatever. If you want, file another bug on that.

I think you might prefer my longer term strategy which is to make a telepathy connection manager, called The One Ring, that could allow you to use your IM program to do all of this.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Epage,
I think you are the hardest working developer on this site(really don't know if that is true or not). You are super helpful with everyone. Also I've seen you answer the same question over and over with out getting short with anyone. You rock!!
By the way I love this app. I am over here in China for a while and am using my NIT tethered through my cell all day. It is super cheap but slow. To slow to talk on Gizmo so I have Gizmo forward my calls to my China cell. Only 2 cents a minute. Using DC (for SMS and calling out) and Gizmo's call forwarding, communication is like I'm still back in the states. This app rocks...I love the finger friendliness of it.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

I just promoted 1.0.8-5 to Diablo Extras and Fremantle Extras-Testing.

If you have an n900, please go and vote on it

1.0.8

• Sped up login time by delay loading contact list
• Ability to narrow down messages either by type or status
• Fremantle: Notification Support including testing of custom notifications
• UI Tweak: Cut down the number of times the login dialog is needlessly displayed
• Bug Fix: Switching to accounts tab when callback is blank
• Debugging: Log contents now accessible through Ctrl+l

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Thanks for the update! I've been waiting for one. Not that the app needs improvement, I just love how much more functional it becomes with each release.
** Would it be possible to implement the "narrow down" function to your call log. Example Missed calls, dialed calls, received - implemented exactly how you did for the messages tab? I've also been trying to think of a way to have DC load up full screen and have the ability to close it without having to re-size it. An exit button on each tab seems overkill and the area to place it I cant figure out either. I love having the app full screen and while changing it manually isn't that bit of a deal, having it full screen and a simple way to close it would be ideal to me. Keep the updates coming! Your application is the only thing I keep the N810 for. I am very close to selling it and "upgrading" to an Archos 5 android but fear I will miss all the wonderful features of DC!

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Sorry things have been slowing down. As you can tell from my signature I've been taking on some extra load, plus real life. I am wanting to slow down development so I can get back to The One Ring since I feel that has the more promise in the long run.

Sounds like a good idea, mind filing me an enhancement request?

With quicknote, I have it remember if it was fullscreen the last time you ran it. You can toggle fullscreen with the full screen button (n8x0 devices) and with Ctrl+Enter on both apps. I could make Dialcentral remember if it was full screen or not. On an n8x0 device you can close an app by clicking on the task switcher button and closing it from the menu. I do that a lot. The equivalent for the n900 is to hit Ctrl+Backspace and close it from the switcher. I could add a Ctrl+q or Ctrl+w key combo to also close it. Thoughts?

If you think that would be a good way to implement your idea, go ahead and file an enhancement request. If you instead want to talk about it more, then thats fine.

As much as I'd love for people to stick with Maemo since its the community that makes it great, I believe Android has GoogleVoice apps. I don't know how they compare though. I think Google made one integrated in, but I don't know if that works with SIP or just cell service.

Archos would concern me about how much they might lock it down though.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

On Fremantle if you do notification support it acts like the regular notification system? E.g. it'll do visual alerts on the display and make a sound?

Any chance on making a Diablo version that has a user selectable audio file that triggers when a new message is found?

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

1.0.8 should have notification support on Fremantle. I currently have it setup to act the same as on Diablo.

There is a bug already filed for adding sound to Dialcentral alerts. Another can be filed about cleaning up alerts in general to be more like email alerts

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

I see you've been getting quite a few requests lately, but there is one thing that's been bugging me a little.

When creating an SMS to someone, and it is longer than the screen is (horizontally), a scroll bar shows up instead of the message going down to the next line, so that I have to scroll over to see what I typed.

Thanks

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

I can't seem to install this on my N900. Every time I try to install through the file I download from the download section, I keep getting this message:

Unable to download "dialcentral"
Application package not found.

Also, I do have maemo extra enabled.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

@epage
Thanks for all of the hard work you have put into Google Voice on Maemo. Dialcentral is significantly better than using the website and I look forward to your One Ring project.
Do you (or anyone) know how to permanently spoof your outgoing caller ID on Maemo? This would allow us to make all calls from our GV numbers which would make dialing a whole lot easier.
I tried searching the forum for an answer but it's difficult when the search feature ignores "ID" because the word is too short.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

I have heard about this and have bugged people to file bug reports, but no one has yet. Bug reports help keep these things on my radar. I also dislike filing them myself so others can help validate that my fix worked.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

So you are referring to making a call not through Dialcentral? I do not know of a way to currently do that ... until The One Ring is complete, and then you should be able to chose to "call" through it which should make it easier to make your call through GoogleVoice. It took me a long while of using Google Voice before I got in the habit of making all of my calls through it, confusing everyone I knew with my multiple numbers.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Sorry, I subscribe to this thread but I don't get more notification emails unless I follow the link in the email which I forgot to do.

For other people wondering about this issue, Dialcentral is not yet in Maemo 5's Extras. MXN1024 was trying to use the Maemo 4.1 (OS2008) ".install" file for Maemo 5 which didn't work despite the description including "Maemo 5 support". That I can see as confusing and I just meant the app overall and not each version of the package.

Lack of testers is holding Dialcentral back from moving into Extras. Contact me if you would like information on how to become a tester.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Sorry for not being very clear but I'm talking about spoofing the outgoing caller ID at the system level so that the phone application seemingly places calls from your GV number.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

I would like to be tester but I don't receive phone yet....

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Sorry, haven't had any opportunity to test the new DialCentral version. I'll try to get to it in the next few days...

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

On the N810, DialCentral 1.0.8-5, there would be no received sound.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Well, I look forward to your feedback once you have one

Dialcentral doesn't play any sounds, so I'm assuming you mean your SIP client rather than Dialcentral. I've heard of volume issues with Diablo 4.1's RTCom
