Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

For 1.1.X (extras-devel):

Maemo 4.1 and Maemo 5: Sometimes there is a crash when cthe SMS window

Maemo 5: Cannot enter an SMS

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Hi Ed.

Yep, using DC 1.1.2-0 when responding to a SMS message, I'm getting a segmentation fault now.

Selecting Texts causes no messages to be displayed, however, All Messages works just fine.

Real quick, when selecting Notifications, when does that setting actually get confirmed?

Is it immediate when clicking on the option, when I change to a different window or when I close DC?

I haven't been getting consistent results with this so I thought maybe I'm not understanding your programming behind it all.

Cheers buddy.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

I'll be looking into the segfault.

When opting to only show texts and nothing is shown is now fixed on my local machine

I apply notification settings immediately.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

1.1.3 is being uploaded to the auto-builders. I'm hoping this is the release I promote to Maemo 4.1 Extras and Maemo 5 extras-testing

• Broadcast SMS: Increased the spacing between contacts
• SMS: Added Ctrl+h shortcut to hide the window for adding more recipients to the SMS
• Bugfix from 1.1.0: In "Messages" if "Texts" was selected, you saw nothing
• Bugfix from 1.1.0: Issues with SMS window on Maemo
• Bugfix from 1.1.0: Maemo 5 SMS dialog is not working

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Hi,

the 1.1.3 now could not dial and send SMS using Maemo 5 (nokia n900).
The SMS is highlighted but you could not type any letters.

The Dial button is disabled now.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

*sigh* I thought I had that window working. There are reasons the SMS button is highlighted and not the Dial button but you won't see till the window works. For now, close the window with Ctrl+w and you will always get the Dial button highlighted (I think)

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Thanks to reply so quickly.

Yeap by using the Ctrl+W -> the dial button is highlighted now and works fine.

Left the "SMS" now. Still not working.

Now waiting for 1.1.4 :-)

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Heya Ed.

Thanks again for another speedy update.

Everything looks pretty good so far.

Only thing to report is when calling either by History or Keypad, I'm now getting about a 20% success rate with it.

I also have Pidgin and Tear running as well so perhaps it might be a shortage of memory on my end.

Can you test for yourself and see if you can confirm this?

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

I haven't done extensive testing but every call I've made has gone through. What error is it reporting?

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

I'm not getting a single error there chief.

I probably have too much junk running all at the same time if you're not having any issues with it.

I'll lighten up on the CPU load and see if that's what was causing nothing to happen after dialing.

Can I file a feature request to have the SMS text entry window to appear at the top of the screen? I still need to consistently mess around with the scrolling so that the text being typed isn't below the hildon keyboard. It's a fluffy request so if you're disenfranchised about the idea, I'll completely understand.

I can test this out more tomorrow but it really looks good so far.

It's a little weird to dial a number, click okay and then choose to dial it.

Also, with that icon being so small, it looks like it's taking a step back from ever becoming 100% finger friendly.

No one has responded on hacking the hildon keyboard yet so getting that fully functional, finger friendly input for DC might not happen anyway.

Do you want us to vote on this to push it into Extras?

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

When your bugfix doesn't seem like its enough, maybe you forgot to apply it? I fixed Maemo 5 on my device but forgot to copy it to where I upload to extras. I just pushed 1.1.4 out to the auto-builder

• Bugfix from 1.1.0: Scroll to bottom when removing a recipient
• Bugfix for 1.1.3: Maemo 5 fix was incomplete

Hmm, I might have a bug with the displaying of an error.

I recommend filing enhancements about the problem and then we can work on how to solve it. My preference, if I work on it, is to figure out when the OSK is displayed and auto-scroll the box for the user. I like the layout of the box being on the bottom.

I do agree. I've had mixed feelings about implementing it that way. It was the quickest way to do it at the time. File an enhancement about that.

Yeah, I've been playing with it trying to determine how to make it bigger and feel happy with myself.

1. I've not put this in extras-testing yet
2. Maemo 4.1 users shouldn't be voting on Maemo 5 applications because there are differences that can break applications.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Okay. For call history, the reason why I'm not able to dial out correctly, is none of my previous numbers I have called in the past have a 1 in front of them.

So instead of DC dialing
1 517 555 5555

it's only dialing
517 555 5555

Could that be the issue, Ed?

EDIT:
Okay. I'm 0 for like 20 with calling out either by History or by dialing directly with the Keypad.

No error message on screen.

No error message either when running it through Xterm.

SMS texting is working great!

Poops. :)

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

1.1.14:

Yeahhh finally the sms is working again :) thank you Epage.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Due to a mistake of mine, the errors aren't being reported to the screen or log but should be seen on the command line when you run "python2.5 /usr/lib/dialcentral/dc_glade.py".

I am going to be out for a few days so my succession of fast updates is on a hiatus.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Have a great time on your few days off, you definitely deserve a break from it all. :)

I got it to dial out just once after about 30 attempts.

Is anyone else having weird issues calling under DC?

The only message I'm seeing is
INFO:dc_glade:Calling 1517555555

and it just hangs on that.

Same message when I did have my one, successful attempt.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

I've successfully dialed out almost always. The few times I haven't is because of PEBKAC and lack of phone connectivity.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Hangs as in the app can't do anything or just doesn't do anything?

I've uploaded 1.1.5 which fixes some error reporting

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Hi Ed.

My first attempt with your latest version was a success, a dozen times after that, no such luck.

Still not getting an error in either DC or in Xterm.

The only message in Xterm is that it's dialing, same as I previously mentioned.

Can you test something for me?

Call out in DC. When Google Voice rings your tablet, don't answer it, just hang up.

Try to call out again after that and see if you run into the same issue as mine.

Thanks. :)

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Could you send me a copy of the log so I can check for anything that might seem out of place to me?

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

1.1.6 uploaded with separate Dial and SMS buttons on the dialpad again

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Has the Gizmo issue been addressed. As of the last update I could not use my Gizmo account with DC. I can use it with TOR though.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

I think I fixed it in DC around 1.1.0 aand then proceded to break it around 1.1.3. I'm trying to collect information to confirm this.

If you could go to the callback selector, prefix the number with a 1, and see if that improves the behavior, that would be a big help.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

1 or no 1 still an error.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

What error are you seeing, sondjata?

I'm getting similiar results as well but no error message.

Real quick.

Have you ever accidently dialed out without activating your "internet call" account first?

Also, the last time it worked, do you remember closing the call when Google Voice rang your tablet after dialing a test number?

I'm just wondering if maybe we could find some type of pattern here to help out epage.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

tried setting 1 in callback, it work for one call then failed so I restarted DC now it seems to be working with the 1.

N810(WiMax)
DC 1.1.6

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

I did a soft reboot for the first time in about a month.

No more issues with DC anymore. :D

I was 10 for 10 in being able to dial out today.

I've got 75 megs still left in internal flash so I'm not sure what a reboot did for DC.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Could people please let me know what error is being reported.

Also could you check your gizmo account at the gizmo website to see if any of the failed calls are being reported there

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Hey Ed!

Just got home and tested DC again since I'm using my landline phone as part of my Gizmo settings.

A perfect 5/5 in calling out. :)

The only two things I can think of being worth mentioning.
*Did a reboot on my N800
*Made sure this time to activate my "internet call" account before using DC (I always seem to forget doing that with my first call).

Anyway, awesome release. Definitely my favorite version so far. I'm glad you went back with the normal layout.

I checked my Gizmo account under call history and didn't find anything that seemed remarkable.

Thanks for the great app! It's so good seeing it work again.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

I've now promoted 1.1.6 to Maemo 4.1 Extras and Maemo 5 extras-testing.

Maemo 5 users, feel free to test

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

No errors in gizmo call log. The error I get when not using a 1 in the callback gizmo number is at the bottom of the Keypad page.

I like the latest layout of DC, with the SMS and Call buttons on the keypad page.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

I just pushed out a 1.1.7 which should have unnoticable changes.

Joy, the very famous DC/Gizmo error. I get the same error when my account number is the callback number (whoops). Still not sure how to get this resolved and why some releases have been better/worst and TOR doesn't seem to have this (the general error seems to be something else)

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Awesome release! Definitely my favorite version so far. *lol*

So anyway, not a single issue to report.

I like how it's no longer necessary to dial a +1 when calling and that DC will do that for you. It's a nice touch.

Thanks Ed!

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Not a single issue meaning all your calls are going through? *sigh* that is such a weird problem.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Yes all calls are going through. :)

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Okay, so I tried a collection of some of my usual stupidities several times over.

Dialing out with no "internet call" account then activating it afterwards without closing DC, hanging up when Google Voice calls the tablet on a phone call I've just made, calling in quick successions, etc.

So yeah, stupid stuff I've been known to do in the past.

None of it broke DC.

All calls are 100% getting through.

So on my end, maybe a reboot helped (I also do other stupid stuff on the tablet). It's tough to say since I never got an error that got displayed in either DC or Xterm.

Well, I look forward to one of your next versions that may or may not work. :)

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Hey Epage,
How about making use of the "back" hardware key. I have not thought much about it yet but it seems like it should be used for something :) Any suggestions from the peanut factory? Could be cool to use as a quick changer from sms window back to the main window to add contacts ect...

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

You can do Ctrl+h (for hide and keep settings). Ctrl+w will close the window losing the settings.

Oh, that "back" key. I thought you meant backspace. I forgot about that key on the 770 and n8x0 devices. File a request because it is a valid use for it. I just wonder if it would better map to Ctrl+w or Ctrl+h

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

You keep asking me to file the request, but I hate searching through the posts to remember where to post them. Can you add the link to your Signature to save us all some time please :)

*edit
I did not notice it in the downloads section. Enhancement submitted.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

It's in his first post in small print.

Don't worry, I missed seeing it too awhile back. :)
