Re: Dialcentral 1.0
I'm not smart enough to fix it. You'll have to wait for the author epage to come back around and make some changes. It broke some core system components on mine, probably did the same on yours.
|
Re: Dialcentral 1.0
Wow, this thread exploded while I was gone.
I do most of my development on a full Linux system so it makes testing a lot more difficult for me when I do Maemo specific features. Yet another reason why I avoided adding notification support. I did mean my message about people who feel comfortable with the command line were the more particular ones I wanted testing because I expected to run into random issues. I'm concerned though that a downgrade doesn't work. The code is based off of gv_notifier. If people have suggestions for improvements, I'm willing to take them. When you have a new message it will turn on the LED. Viewing for the first time or refreshing Message/Recent tabs will cause the LED to turn off. I was unsure if people would want me to launch Dialcentral automatically or not. Things I've gotten fixes for (I hope) so far.
Are there any other issues? I'm about to go to work. Once I get home is probably when I'll make a new package |
Re: Dialcentral 1.0
Epage, I was just over excited at seeing you added notification support as I've been quite a fan of your work (and addisjon's).
I could always learn xterm a bit better and still try to help out? Anybody care to just give me the command line stuff to type in to open it up and I can copy and paste the output into here? |
Re: Dialcentral 1.0
I had more time than I expected before work. 1.0.4-3 is now in extras-devel with a couple of fixes. If you are already broken please give it a try.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
It works great so far. I haven't seen a bug yet. Thanks. This is everything I wanted in this app since I got GV in the first place. Thanks for your hard work. I'll keep you posted if I see anything.
by the way I didn't have GV notifier installed previously so I have no problems. EDIT: okay one issue. It's the same one I had when I installed GV notifier(and later uninstalled it). The LED light keeps going off even when the SMS has been marked as already read. My inbox has to be completely empty before it doesn't go off again. I see that when you read a message in DC it marks it as read in GV. Suggestion: If we can't get it to recognize what is new and what is not...can there be a "delete message" option with in DC? Right now I still have to go to GV to delete a SMS so the LED does not come on again. |
Re: Dialcentral 1.0
I've got the same problem with the led not going off.
Edit: Running the script provided for manually shutting off the led doesn't work ether. I figured it wouldn't but... |

Code:
~/.dialcentra/snapshot_voicemail.json Also if someone could manually run "alarm_notify.py" and "led_handler.py" and send me the debug prints that could be helpful. Looking at things, the content I download includes unread counts. I could also add a check to not give a notification if the unread counts are 0 EDIT: I think I have an idea of why its causing issues. The content we are caching has "relative time" in it which is "constantly" changing. Looking into a fix |

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
Hi epage, thanks for your work in this project. The error has killed maemo notifier. DC works with 1.0.4-3, with the exception of anything related to notifications. Let me know if you want me to run a particular .py and posts its output. For what its worth, I never installed 1.0.4-1. Just 1.0.4-2 then 1.0.4-3.

The file is Code:
/var/lib/alarmd/alarm_queue.xml Code:
<object type="AlarmdEventRecurring"> Then reboot. In some quick testing, it appears to be working for Datapath Edit 1: There appears to be an issue with changing your notification settings too quickly. I plan to make a fix for this, but I just wanted to warn you. Edit 2: 1.0.4-4 is now out. The only change it includes is fewer false alarms. It won't be till tomorrow that I release a version with range checking to prevent entering 0 minutes and that I reduce how much I talk to the alarmd service |
Re: Dialcentral 1.0
Thanks epage, so far so good. Appreciate your time. I'll test the issue of DC not logging back in when changing from access point to access point over the next few days and report my findings.
Any way play an audio file instead of blink the LED as a message notification ? |

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
Epage: I just wanted to give feed back. I just updated and so far everything works flawlessly. Thank you so much. I especially like the "hold down the message tab to refresh" feature. Doing a refresh turns the LED light off. I don't have to re-open the app to turn it off like I did when I had GV niotifier.
I know there's a few people out there that don't like the LED light but I love it. I wouldn't mind having a noise and the LED together like when I receive a new email, but it doesn't matter to much since I hardly hear it during the noisiness of the day. I always see the LED light. Thank you for all your great work. My email client and DC(and sipphone) are by far my most used Apps on the tablet. I love my NIT and this forum. |

epage, I like your settings.ini file idea. Even something basic like launching mplayer ring.wav will work. I was going to chop up the .py myself as implementing this is super easy, but I'll hold off and see what you come up with. As going from one access point to another, the alarm.py works fine, the LED blinks still. The DC app however does not. It won't refresh, dial or anything. I have to restart it and re-login for DC to work under a new access point / internet provider |
Re: Dialcentral 1.0
I've had the app crash a few times.
1. When I open "Google Voice"contacts and then switch it to "All Contacts"(or visa versa) it crashes. When I restart the app it asks for my GV login name and password. 2. Also I had been using the SMS...refreshing a lot...then I went contacts and tried to sart a new SMS and it wasn't letting me. It then crashed. The second one I have not been able to repeat that problem. The first one I can repeat about half the time. |
Re: Dialcentral 1.0

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
1.0.4-5 is now in extras-devel. I'm hoping this will be the last version before pushing to extras and starting on 1.0.5.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
I have a few user interface issues with Dialcentral that I've decided to hunt down and fix. Victim #1: In the messages tab, long SMS and voicemail text rolls offscreen and is impossible to read. Double-clicking will bring you to a popup with a tiny scrollbar that makes reading texts also near impossible.
The fix? Two lines of python. Code:
textrenderer.set_property("wrap-mode",1) This makes the lines on the messages tab auto-wrap to the full-screen size, making it possible to read the entire message. WOW! Hopefully epage will acknowlegde my hackery and add it to the new releases. Until some other stuff gets changed* I'm staying with 10.4-2. You'd probably be better off waiting till he adds it in unless you are also using 10.4-2 (the last version before notification support, which broke alarmd). *sound notification support, auto-load GV contacts(why select drop-down every time??), text size on contacts/recent list bigger (more thumb-friendly) Oh and btw, a nice shortcut to call numbers via Google Voice is so: https://www.google.com/voice/m/calle...r=+13606430304 change my number for your own and make bookmarks. As of now, a bookmark is more convenient than the tiny text size on DC's contact list. |
Re: Dialcentral 1.0
The alarmd issue has been fixed: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=171 upgrade to the latest version with no fear after following the steps linked to above.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
I need sound notifications, and the version I have doesn't mess with gv-notifier. I'll wait for 1.05.
|
Re: Dialcentral 1.0
Victim #2: Contacts list difficult to click with finger.
Add this line right around 976 (give or take) underneath textrenderer =gtk.CellRendererText() : Code:
textrenderer.set_property("scale",3) |

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
@gogol First I want to say thanks for the UI feedback. This is the type of stuff I'd love to have more of.
Textwrap in contacts: The main reason I haven't done this is because Dialcentral technically runs on regular Linux systems also and there is not a good word wrap solution for both platforms. Word wrap is specified in number of characters. On the desktop I'm not aware of a good way to judge the number of characters it is. I'll look into adding this as a Hildon-only aspect though. Sound notification support: Didn't I see issues with the sound interfering with regular apps in the gv_notifier thread? As this isn't a priority for me, I'll probably leave this to individual hacks till a good solution is found. Audo-load gv contacts: Should everyone take the performance hit of downloading 5+ webpages for some people wanting the GoogleVoice contacts come up by default? The performance of it is why I added CSV support and that is what I personally use. Text size on contacts/recent to be more thumb friendly: I'll look into this, probably won't be till tomorrow. I guess I have small fingers since I didn't realize this was an issue. |

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
Hey guys, what about when you installed 1.0.4-2, it broke your system or whatever, so you upgrade to 1.0.4-5 and DC still won't open? Argh!
|
Re: Dialcentral 1.0
Quote:
I'm concerned that it won't even open. I thought I had heard reports that with 1.0.4-3 and later you could at least use Dialcentral but notifications were still broken system wide Could you give me the debug output by running "python2.5 /usr/bin/dialcentral.py" from the command line? |
Re: Dialcentral 1.0
Good news and bad news with that:
It opened up when I typed the python command in xterm. However, I got the "name com.nokia" or whatever at the buttom DBUS error that people were getting, Bad news, there was a LOT of output from the terminal window, still want it all? Edit: I went ahead and pasted the output for you, this was before the instructions you sent me to remove the object alarmeventrecurrent. Code:
python2.5[1714]: GLIB WARNING ** libglade - unknown property `orientation' for class `GtkVBox' Code:
python2.5[1809]: GLIB WARNING ** libglade - unknown property `orientation' for class `GtkVBox' Yet another edit: Okay so I forgot the part where it said to reboot. Now DC opens with no errors but when I open it in xterm I still get the libglade errors, and I'm getting an error about missing an alarm from settings.ini. It seems that messaging, contacts, and calling all works so far! I'll definitely make another post if I find any more issues, thanks a lot for your help and FOR THIS APP! P.S. Any chance on getting a different UI for the messaging? :P And I do like the either sound or LED options you were talking about earlier, sounds like a definite plan. I would like the sound in certain settings, and I'd like the LEDs in others, so I'd probably end up using both :D:D |

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
epage are you planning on adding gogol's GUI tweeks? I tried changing the contacts list but obviously added it to the wrong place as it made my messages look the size i wanted the contacts list. oops. I think it would make the list much more finget friendly.
once again I love the progress and it keeps getting better and better. Thanks to gogol and adisojon for the added features and gui options! you guys are all great! |
