Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

Thanks for the info, this is exactly what I was looking for. After reading your post on page 10 about changing the defualt polling time, I took a peak at /usr/lib/theonering/gvoice/session.py. It looks like you may have updated the code since you posted the comment on how to change the polling times. Towards the beginning, I can see a section you have with contackt 12, hours text, 10 mins...ect. If I change the 10 to 7, with that then change the polling time default from 10 to max 7? (seems like it to me just want to make sure :) I also would like to recommend changing you polling just slightly. I would check after sending/receiving to 30s, 30s, 1m, 2, 4, default. That seems more than ample for polling. If they haven't responded be the time the 4 min check happens, they probably aren't in a hurry for a response :) Just a thought, might save some battery and seems like a fair amount of checking.

*edit I'm running .14 and it seems very stable so far. I have become a victim of the unable to cancel a call last night (well my gf was the victim) She got a ringing phone at about 3am last night because I accidentally started a call session with her and there is no going back! Other than that I like/love the app. I went through and added icons to each contact, letting me know home/cell/food place. It fulfills my want for pics to represent the contacts I requested many months ago. F'ing beautiful.

*Edit 2
Is there a way to include a small picture with the application and make it default for the google voice contacts? It was a pain adding a distinctive pic for each to tell the dif. Say a free/open icon picture that will be default instead of the little guy icon maemo defaults.

*edit 3
I'm sure most have tried it or figured it out by now, but if you use the internet call app in maemo 4.1 you can select your contacts to call right from there OR use the keypad and dial any number you wish even if they are not in your contacts. Again most probably already knew this, some I hope I just showed a new feature! Love it

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

It seems a bit too cumbersome to change the call back number in TOR, yet simple in DC. It seems simpler to me to just open DC and change the call back than to do it through TOR. So when I need it, I'll just do it the old fashion way

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

I feel the same, like it simple. :D

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

You can hand-modify the source code to change it up. It sounds like you are reading the right lines.

You validate by checking what settings are actually used by entering the following command in the debug prompt "get_polling". You can check the current status of each polling machine with "get_state_status"

Funny, The UI on top of TOR provides cancel but TOR doesn't support it and people keep bringing up how essential it is. Dialcentral does not have cancel in the UI and I've gotten no requests on it. It is something that could be added, I have the API for it. Testing could be a pain but eh. Feel free to file a request.

So you are wanting a default avatar? Interesting, I could provide default avatars for each of the different phone types. That could help alleviate issues for people. Please file an enhancement request.

Yup :)

I'm curious. I guess it is more steps. I've listed them out below (all from memory)

Dialcentral:

• Switch Tab
• Hit button
• Select different number or hand enter it

TOR (Maemo 4.1)

• Click presence icon
• Click "Account Settings"
• Select account
• Click next several times
• Hand enter callback in the nickname field

Sadly I do not know of a good way to fix this due to protocol and UI limitations.

Hi epage, I found this on lifehacker recently. Don't know if it can help you improve onering beyond its current greatness.

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

Hi epage,

First I want to say thanks for your work on this. I think TOR is an important addition to the N900.

I've scoured this thread, and the listed bugs, but didn't find much information, which makes me wonder if it is something I have done or am doing.

More often than not, I get an "Unable to connect" message for the Google Voice plugin. this happens the majority of the times I launch it, either initially, or after disabling/enabling the plugin, as well as after reboot. i have fb, skype and ovi contacts live on it, and Google Talk disabled. I have played with different polling settings, but can't quite get it to consistently connect, on either T-Mo or wifi. When it connects, it works fine. but that is less than half the time I launch it.

Do you have any suggestions for troubleshooting this? Are others seeing this? Should I uninstall and reinstall? I am running the latest version as I update whenever one is avaiable.

Thanks again for all of your work on this, and in the meantime, I'll keep trying to figure it out!

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

I've heard about GVMax before. Its kind of convoluted. You have GV email your texts to it and then it will send them to you over XMPP. This might prove faster and more battery efficient but TOR is easier to setup.

THis has been a long standing issue, mostly for Maemo 5 users, that I have been unsuccessfully been working to resolve. There is a bug filed on it

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

(n900/pr1.1.1/0.7.14)

Still getting the occasional "network" error, seems to be happening more frequently with the latest version. Generally see it when connecting to a new network (going from wifi to 3g). Generally, going into account settings and "saving" w/o changes fixes it.

On that note, since I don't always check when moving from network to network (and my N900 seems to occasionally jump on 3G then back to wifi on its' own).

Would it be possible to add either a sound or vibration alert when it runs into the existing handler problem? I went several hours yesterday with a network error w/o knowing about it, it's happened before as well.

Would you like me to file an enhancement?

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

I just uploaded 0.8.0.

I added default avatars based on phone type. Nothing else really.

Re: [Announce] The One Ring
 

The avatars are a massive help - now I don't have to go into the contact and try to guess if its a cell phone or a home phone.
Much better! Muchas gracias!
