Okay I have a maybe dumb question...what is the start time for? Is is for setting your timezone? I set the recurrence time but not sure what to do with the start time. Thanks for the help.

you set the start time for the first time you want it to check for a message.

I finally got it all installed and working. Had to change permissions for some folders from root and then esc to continue installation. So it works. There are a few weird side effects. Sometimes when I get an alarm from an email(not GV notifier), the LED light won't turn off until I start Dialcentral just like when I get a new SMS. So far I can live with these issues until a beta version comes out. I am an avid text-er and really needed a notifier solution. Thank you so much for making this notifier. Please keep it coming, though. I would love to see it fully integrated with Dialcentral. Even if someone liked using the GV mobile interface better...Dialcentral is such a lightweight program I'm sure they wouldn't mind having it just for the SMS notifier.
Thanks for the hard work.

A new issue. The LED light keeps going off even though I don't have a new SMS message. I emptied my inbox completely...and still the LED light with go off eventually. Can anyone help? Did I get a setting wrong?

The issue might be in all the reconfigurations I did to get it installed. I think I'm going to reflash and install it one more time.

I had this happem to me as well with the initial install. Go back into the config and delete out the missed calls option and I think it may fix it. Also if you could give a little write up as to how you got it working correctly I would appreciate it. I have not been able to get it going agian as you can read from my previous posts.

(sms and missed calls included by default, only sms is required) (voicemails, recent calls, received calls, etc. can also be added)

Well I reflashed my NIT and installed the GV notifier taking notes to share with you how I did it. And of course, I can't get it to work anymore. So yeah, I am uninstalling it and waiting for the beta version. I'm also having issues with Dialcentral since reflashing.

Okay when I installed GV notifier, for some crazy reason it shrunk my "lock touch screen and keys, offline mode, lock device and switch off" window. It is a weird side effect. After I uninstalled the application. That window is still super small. I can't find where I can change it to regular size. Can someone help?

I am getting the permission denied error, so should I change the permissions to the folders being denied like icbolsh is talking about to fix that issue?

Even though I couldn't get it working again and decided not to mess with it again. (just will wait for the Beta version....Please hurry). I'll say how I approached it.
When I first untar everything, I got nothing bu permission errors. So I did it this way.

in root, chmod 777 for directories /usr, /usr/bin & /usr/lib (one at a time of course)
exit root
untar
permission error for /hildon. So back into root. chmod 777 for that directory also.
exit root
Then I did untar again, this time with not errors.
exit root
then continue with his instructions.

Again it worked okay with some quirks. But I reflashed my NIT and now I cannot get it to work, but I also don't want to mess with it too much. I also can't get Dialcentral to dial out since reflashing. It does SMS and everything else.

Re: Google Voice Notifier *Alpha*
 
wow, i got around permissions by installing as root and/or using chmod. works like it's supposed to with no weird side effects of any kind.

i put in another vote to integrate this into dialcentral, it is such a needed part of a messaging application. i really hope to see sound notifications too, that would make dialcentral complete!

thank you for your hard work, i hope you come back around some day
