Slim

I don't have my device in front of me but in the menu is an item dealing with application catalogs. It should provide a list of places where apps are pulled from. There should be an item for extras-devel (and hopefully one for extras). If there is not one for extras, just delete "-devel" and hit ok. If there is an "extras" one, go into the editor for "extras-devel" and I think there is a check box to disable it.

For Maemo4:
1. Run the Application Manager
2. Tap Menu / Tools / Application catalog
3. Tap maemo Extras Devel and tap Edit.
4. Tap Disabled.
5. Tap OK, Close, and close Application Manager.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0

I found the catalogs under the AppMgr Tools menu, and disabled the extras-devel, reinstalled DC, and still had the same problem:eek:
Found a Mameo Extras-Devel also and disabled it, and VIOLA I'm back and running with DC again:D. If I had went to the Mameo Talk site and read "buurmas" post (instead of just reading the auto-email), I would have known all this :rolleyes:
As usual, a big Thank You to ebay, and even though I stumbled through it before reading, to you too buurmas.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0

It looks like I have a viable work around for those adventurous enough to ignore my warning.

1. Uninstall any Qt applications if they aren't already(DialCentral, Gonvert, ejpi)
2. Disable extras-devel
3. Install Gonvert
4. Confirm Gonvert launches
5. Enable extras-devel
6. Install DialCentral (make sure the install size is less than a MB)

So it looks like the version of PyQt in extras-devel is broken but not the one in extras. Gonvert is in extras and will pull in the extras version of PyQt. Installing DialCentral from extras-devel will for some reason not pull in the broken version.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0

O.K. I am not adventurous enough to keep playing with this version. It does load but that is about all, will not connect for out going calls, some of the fonts and icons are very small...sorry I took so much of your time figuring out how to get it loaded on a N8XX. When it's more bake I will try another slice of it. Thanks for your efforts.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0

Hi Ed!

Old version of DC keeps giving me unnecessary grief.

I think it's because of the sheer volume of incoming and outgoing daily texts.

I have to go to the Google Voice web page and delete everything about twice a day.

If you ever want to hang out for the night, I'd be more than happy to share all of my account info with you. :)

Re: Dialcentral 1.0

okay so i went in and tried to remove the old version of dial central and then install the new verision. im still getting the python errors that there is a conflict. what is the workaround here everyone. i just want to install this APP and go about my life. i dont have time to read thru 137 posts. is there any one who can just give simple instructions to getthis app installed once and for all?

Could you create a step by step list of what you've done so I can get a clear picture of the state of your device?

Can you go to the catalog editor and list out what catalogs you have and which are enabled/disabled?

Could you describe more specifically what you mean by "cannot install anything"?

Re: Dialcentral 1.0

Hi Ed!

I'm using 1.1.13-0 for the longest time.

And yeah, I think it's because I send and receive so many texts, calls, and voice mails in a single day.

I'm constantly having to delete it all for DC to behave correctly.

Some of how DC acts up is super weird. :)

Oh well. I'm still going to probably use this forever. :)

That error is different than the one others get. Theirs is a runtime (rather than install-time) issue on Maemo 4.1 For yours it looks like on Maemo 5 I either got some of the dependencies messed up or someone else did.

The current version is early beta and I'd recommend waiting a bit more first.

Overall the issue is some kind of conflict on the system with something else installed. Later I'll try to look at least at DialCentral to see the chance it is at fault, otherwise I'll need to investigate where to go from there.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0

For the last few upgrades i've been getting an error, i don't remember the exact error from the previous upgrades but i think it was the same as the latest one:

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/opt/dialcentral/lib/alarm_handler.py", line 323, in <module>

    main()

  File "/opt/dialcentral/lib/alarm_handler.py", line 314, in main

    alarmHandler.save_settings(config, "alarm")

  File "/opt/dialcentral/lib/alarm_handler.py", line 112, in save_settings

    config.set(sectionName, "recurrence", str(self._recurrence))

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/ConfigParser.py", line 640, in set

    ConfigParser.set(self, section, option, value)

  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/ConfigParser.py", line 358, in set

    raise NoSectionError(section)

ConfigParser.NoSectionError: No section: 'alarm'

Could you explain to me what this is about please?

I believe you are referring to a message being reported on the command line or in your HAM log? This does not stop the upgrade, correct?

In the pre-install is a check to prevent issues with alarms on upgrade.

The Qt version of dialcentral does not yet have alarm support (do people still use/want it?) so the script can't get the settings, so it should be moving along.

What version of DialCentral are you using?

Have you configured your callback number (the accounts tab on the released version, the accounts dialog on the beta version).

Can I dial a number from command line?

Is there a way I can use the command-line to dial a number? E.g. I want to write a shell script that says something like:

/opt/dialcentral/bin/dialcentral.py ---dial 1-415-555-1234

and then it would use GoogleVoice to dial that number.

It would also be okay to invoke Dialcentral, and then use dbus-send to dial a number. As long as it can be automated by script. (I am trying to get Vim to dial out.)

I couldn't find the answer by web search. I thought a post here would be more useful than a private message to Mr. Page.

Thank you for your work, Mr. Page.

I could add some command line flags. They might be a bit slow since they would have to login then dial. I hesitate on adding dbus stuff because of the solution I would suggest, The One Ring.

The One Ring is a Google Voice plugin for the system. You can use dbus or telepathy wrappers over dbus to initiate a call. If you want a single command for it, it would be easy for me to wrap this into a single script.

You can disable polling for contacts, voicemail,. and texts which would greatly reduce the battery overhead. The cost would then be whenever you switch networks it has to login again. I am tempted to improve that for quick network switches but not right now.

Well, it could be any shell script. I work about 2/3 of the time in vim and the other 1/3 from the command line. But, yes, text interface. Sure beats using the GUI and having to wait 4 seconds for the Phone app to switch over to the Contacts screen.

That would be appreciated, especially if it's not too inconvenient. In my particular case, I am trying to initiate a long-d call while driving, so I would rather tap on one icon or type a short string (say, the name of a shell script) and then wait for the automated connection, than have to type in a long phone number with the onscreen keypad while I'm driving.

(I hope the changes that you make won't force me to upgrade to PR 1.3. Right now PR 1.2 works well and I am rather leery of the bugs reported in PR 1.3.)

I've looked at this before --in fact, I think I have it installed-- but I have to admit that I find it confusing. There are several names --"The One Ring", "Telepathy", "Google Voice Plugin For Conversations"-- and it is not clear to me whether these are all the same thing. I had expected the Conversations widget to change after installation but it didn't. I'm not sure how to use it.

If it is as I understand, then this "Google The Voice One Plugin Telepathy For Ring Conversations" acts as a daemon which will respond to dbus signals and initiate calls and SMS's on command? Presumably I would use qdbusviewer or something to see what dbus signals it's hooked up to, and all that? If so, then I'd like more info but I'll probably move it over to some other thread since this thread is about Dialcentral.

Dialcentral is attractive since it is written in Python, with which I am familiar; if Google The ... whatever, is written in C++ then I might just stay with Dialcentral to examine its innards.

All of this is through DBus. The One Ring ("pretty name" being "Google Voice Plugin for Calls and Contacts" or something) is a Connection Manager. Because DBus is used at each layer, I wrote TOR in Python.

TOR (not to be confused with Tor) can do the following:

Add a "Google Voice" button to system contacts phone numbers
Add GV Contacts to the system, updating through polling the server
Send Texts
Receive texts / voicemail through polling the server
Make calls

When a person mentions Telepathy, they could be referring to the spec for any of the pieces or the implementations on their system. Telepathy has a documented spec:
http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/spec/

RTComm (Maemo 4.1, Maemo 5) and Empathy are the most common Telepathy clients.

In prepping myself for writing a util, I realized I made a previous utility more generic than I remembered.

In /opt/theonering/lib is a script called "tp_send_debug.py". It is used in the following way:

Code:

/opt/theonering/lib/tp_send_debug.py GV_NUMBER call DEST_NUMBER

GV_NUMBER and DEST_NUMBER both must be of the format "+180083555" (with +, no spaces, no dashes, no parens). I could add in some stuff to handle sloppier numbers like in the other parts of the code.

Sorry for the questions but I'd rather not be making assumptions.

First, please inform me of the DC version.

Second, are you saying you've set it and are getting the problem or you've added it and it has since been fixed?

Is it a Gizmo number or a regular one?

Is the number added in your GV account?

If this is DC 1.1.9X, have you re-applied your callback number since re-launching?

Re: Dialcentral 1.0

Okay. Just want to make a quick mention on how to remove unnecessary notifications with DC.

Go to google.com/voice and remove everything from the inbox, incuding texts sent.

Then, simply SMS someone first.

Works great for quite some time until there's too much of a build up, then you will start going back to notifications when sending a text as well.

Cheers.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0

A few questions about the Qt version in the works...

Is this the appropriate thread for discussion of the Qt version, or will/should discussion for the Qt version be moved to another thread?

On more of a general Qt note, I've been getting started with some Qt (C++) development of my own, and I decided to pick up an N8 as another target for Qt/C++ and Symbian^3 development.

Are you planning to start building Symbian^3 versions of the Qt version of DialCentral?

I realize that porting between Maemo and Symbian^3 isn't completely trivial, and I've only written portable Qt/C++, that currently builds and runs on Linux, OS X, and Maemo5, without any platform-specific #ifdef so far.

Any feedback on these questions would be greatly appreciated.

In general all of the platform specific code I have had to write -with #ifdefs - has been for components that are specifically not supported by Symbian. For me this primarily means Telepathy and surprisingly enough, the QT system tray icon class.

Hey Ed, small request?

DC 1.1.13-0

When using the hardware menu key button, you have

Login
Paste
Refresh
About

Any chance you could put Refresh on top?

It would save on two extra key presses each time.

Thanks. :)

DialCentral is built using Python. I am unsure what the status of PyQt or PySide is on Symbian. uvatbc has ported his C++/Qt GV app to Symbian.

I already have a good guess as to what the problem is. I've not gotten around to filing a bug report on it. You have extras-devel enabled (having D 1.1.9X). The version of PyQt in extras-devel is broken.

Steps to recover. The alternative is you only run the version of DC out of extras (rather than extras-devel). The version in extras-devel is a beta though I think all outstanding issues are resolved (anyone want to correct me, especially n8x0 users?).
