Click on the account page.

Listed there is your account number, a button to logout ( I need to remove that ) and your current "callback" number. The main function of this application is to connect a dialed or selected phone number with that callback number via grandcentral.

If you want the NIT to "ring" search for a thread on setting up gizmo ( both in general and with grandcentral ). The theory of operation here is that your Nokia is signed into gizmo, grandceltral's callback number is gizmo and therefore all the numbers you call will activate the internet call application.

I know that was a little much for one post, so please post a followup if you have questions.

Thanks for the offer. Here are my questions.

I put my cell number under "callback number", used keypad to enter a phone number and pressed "dial". Nothing happened. Is there a step I missed?

I don't see anything under contacts now. I suppose it doesn't synchronize with the contacts I have in grandcentral?

When I closed the app and reopened it, the callback number became empty. Do I need to enter it everytime I use it?

Is there a way for to it automatically login to my grandcentral account each time I open the app?

emmaitt,

I'm positive, for whatever reason, you are not logged into the service correctly. This is why you are confused... it's not working as intended.

You are using version 0.8.0-9 ( from extras )?
Can you login via http://www.grandcentral.com/mobile/ ?
Can you use the click 2 call services through the website?
You are not out of space in / ( df -h ) ?
Deleting the file /home/user/.gc_dialer_cookies.txt

If none of those items reveal anything open XTerminal ( apps -> utilities ( at the bottom ) and enter...

python2.5 /usr/bin/dialcentral.py

This should provide you with some debugging output that might be useful ( this can also be done via ssh if you have it installed ).

You are right. It turns out I used a wrong user ID. Perhaps a message saying that the userid/password is incorrect would help out others like me?

Everything works - synchronized contacts, stored call-back numbers, automatic login...

This is for your spare time only... a "search" function for contacts would be a great help for people like me with hundreds of contacts . A "new" contact that allows people to create new one will be great too.

Thank you for the good work and help.

Yeah... I'll figure something out. After trying to login multiple times I'll throw up a warning before giving up. I know exactly where I would put it.

Some suggestions....

How about having a "Connecting" or "Attempting to Log in" notification popup in the upper right corner that pops up letting the user know what is happening. Also, once a login is successful, another popup saying so. Perhaps also, make the dial buttons, etc. grayed out until the login is successful so that users don't attempt to dial or do other things that obviously won't work unless logged in.

One other thing I noticed is that once I login, I can't view my GC contacts until (on the Contacts tab) I select 'None' in the dropdown combo and then re-select 'GrandCentral'.

Keep up the good work! :)

It's probably more likely that you didn't give it long enough to populate. I almost always get that one to fill in. It's the recent tab that sometimes forgets where I am.

That and the other feedback would be good, but it's one of those complicated items... I'll see what I can do.

I have, thanks to Khertan, included thumb scrolls on 0.8.1 ( in extras-devel ) give me a few days to reacclimate to my own time zone and I'll think about posting it to extras.

Hmm mine seems to be stuck in limbo for some reason now. I open the application and it takes me to dial pad, I don't need to login. But no contacts, no information on the account tab (where you can click 'clear authentication' and nothing on recent. Clicking on clear, or new login from menu does nothing.

Edit: And now it works.. (how odd)

DialCentral in Xubuntu?

I run DialGentral not only on my n800 but also on my two laptops. I'm running whats in the svn repository, currently revision 149. In Ubuntu 8.04, everything runs fine. In Xubuntu 8.04 (xfce-based) I get the following when I try to run.

Code:

tlacuache@abuelito:~/coding/svn/gc-dialer/trunk/src$ ./gc_dialer.py

And that's it. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Oh boy. I'll get looking on it tonight.

As a note, svn is still lagging behind the current release of DialCentral.
