Welcome :)

I'd like to check with you for missing dependencies.
Can you please download the attached file, place it in /home/user, and then run from terminal (as root):

mv test.txt text.py
chmod 755 test.py
python test.py

and paste the results here?
thanks.

Ok, bear with me, I'm pretty new to this ...

I did the above; without root the file appears to run but outputs no results to terminal. If I sudo gainroot first, then I get -

process 4784: arguments to dbus_connection_get_data () were incorrect, assertion "connection != NULL" failed in file dbus-connection.c line 5757.
This is normally a bug in some applications using the D-Bus library.

Apparently there are no dependencies issue, but looks like there's a problem with the python-dbus bindings.

I did some google on that error, and it might be related to scratchbox, so I must ask - are you trying to install it on scratchbox? (I guess not because you do "sudo gainroot" and not "fakeroot").

Anyway, there's a workaround in the wiki, but it refers to the scratchbox issue. Perhaps it can help in case you're not running on scratchbox rather on the n900 itself.
I copied it from the wiki. Do in x-term:

Code:

eval $(dbus-launch --sh-syntax)

export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS

export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID

Can't take guarantee on that code, didn't try it on my n900 (currently restoring from another reflash :) ), so don't do it unless you're willing to reflash on worst case (although I don't expect anything like that to be necessary).

After executing the above, run
"killall hildon-status-menu"
from x-term, and check again if you get the "internal error" from the control panel.

Thanks!

Thanks.

The was no execute flag on this file, it was 644.

chmod +x /usr/lib/hildon-desktop/CallNotify.py doesn't helped, I got the same error after the restart.

Thanks, this is not the first case of execution flag missing, I'll update this for next version.

Next step is checking for missing dependencies, can you please try this as user and as root?

Thank you.

Re: [Announce] Call Notify

Hi All,

I've updated version 0.0.7-1 in extras-devel.

Anyone who downloaded it before and couldn't get it to work - please try this version.

Changes:

- No permission issue on the main execution file - fixed
- Refined dependencies (now using python2.5-xxx instead of python-xxx).

Please report here if it's working for you now, and even if it's not working.

Thanks and enjoy!

Ok guys, I've added another dependency, hildon-desktop-python-loader, looks like it's required but didn't add it so far.

Soon, 0.0.8-1 will be available in extras-devel - could you please try this one?
I have a good feeling about this version... :p

When you go to "settings -> extras -> Call Notify" - can you see and save the settings?

Re: [Announce] Call Notify

Some previous version didn't work for me.

With this one(0.0.8-1):
1) Sent myself SMS, saw information
2) Missed a call, saw information

Call notify Settings .. Check OK.

Ok, that's great news. Looks like we've found the fractious missing dependency :)

How do you check it?
Best way is to call from another line or send SMS from another phone.
SMS to yourself won't work.

Also, try restart.

Robb	2010-04-06 17:24

Re: [Announce] Call Notify

Remeber (when SMS'ing to yourself) you have to switch off all the SMS applications before you recive the SMS, otherwise you don't get notified, because the application recieves your SMS and treates it like it's been seen already.

Re: [Announce] Call Notify

Finally it WORKED for me! ;-)
But:
1. Updated. I didn't get neither SMS received sound nor LED blinking notification. I only can hear the sound of CallNotify reminder beeping. In status I can see icon for sms(at last!). There was no indication for SMS left top corner, nor yellow note on desktop. I couldn't acknowledge alarm and turn it off. Had to go to "Conversations" and when I opened it alarm stopped(as expected).
2. Rebooted phone. First SMS there was only LED blinking and CallNotify alarm. Second SMS - CallNotify works as expected. Third SMS and onwards - again no notification.
So definitely there is an improvement, but still inconsistent operation. Keep it going - you are almost there! ;-)

PS. After killing hildon-status-menu I get notifications. Will have to see for how long.

I don't think it will stop. I think that we've passed the last hurdle, which was the missing dependency.
From my experience with this app, it should work as expected from now on (unless I'll screw something up in a future version :p ).

@neof1z, try from terminal as root:
killall hildon-status-menu

If it doesn't work after that, try uninstall and reinstall.

You can also try this test to check for any other missing dependencies.

But it stopped. SMS from your answer didn't produce any notification. No status menu icon, no beep.

SMS from my answer? Do you get SMS for forum replies? Or is it just email? Because there is no email notification...

I get e-mails, but every new e-mail in INBOX produces SMS via e-mail to SMS function.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the email to SMS function - is that something you get from your email supplier? Or is it build-in to the phone?
Anyway, if you have the conversation app open while you receive an SMS you won't get any notification.

Re: [Announce] Call Notify

email2sms is function provided by GSM operator. You receive/send e-mail(first 160 symbols) as SMS. Of course Conversations is NOT open. I have tested with missed call as well, same result - works at first then stops fpr some reason.

Well, at least it's working for the first missed call or SMS, and something else is stopping it from keep working.

I would suggest checking it from command line to track any errors as we did before, just don't forget to stop the status-menu one by temporarily moving the .desktop file from /usr/share/hildon-status-menu, running the altered file and see what happens when you get SMS/calls.

Re: [Announce] Call Notify

Hi Omer,
no notifications here unfortunately; it has stopped working after one of the last updates (don't know which one). What should I do? If you need further testing consider me disposable.

Hi, and thank you for reporting this.

I would suggest following some (advanced) troubleshooting steps:

1. Check the Debug trace

If there is one, it means that the app runs but fails, the debug trace will give us information regarding to where it fails.
In order to see what is the error:

2. Check for runtime errors (hildon-desktop hides any python runtime errors).

I mean, what are the two lines?

Thank you very much for helping with testing this app :)

Re: [Announce] Call Notify

Hi,

I had similar problems and tried both the debug and the error checking.
This gave me 2 lines:
Debug:

PHP Code:


		
			
2010-04-07 22:18:26.286043: readConfigurationFile started

2010-04-07 22:18:26.289033: checkForConfigFile started

Running the error checing gave me a problem:

PHP Code:


		
			
run-standalone.sh python /usr/lib/hildon-desktop/CallNotify.py 

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/hildon-desktop/CallNotify.py", line 19, in __init__

    self.readConfigurationFile()

  File "/usr/lib/hildon-desktop/CallNotify.py", line 80, in readConfigurationFile

    self.interval = float(raw_set[3])

ValueError: invalid literal for float(): 5,0 

^C

~ $

Converting the 5,0 to 5.0 in the conf.txt seemed like it got rid of the problem, and i am guessing this might have something to do with the regional settings on the phone? as in Norway (where i am) we prefer to use a comma as a decimal seperator (don't ask why, its annoying)

In any case the debug becomes a lot longer, sample:

PHP Code:


		
			
...

2010-04-07 22:38:54.240816: constructor

2010-04-07 22:38:54.241609: loadImages started

2010-04-07 22:38:56.210908: startDbusListeners started

2010-04-07 22:38:57.771058: handleMissedCall started

2010-04-07 22:38:57.771882: getMissedCallsCount started. agrs: False

2010-04-07 22:38:58.001588: getMissedCallsCount started. agrs: False

...

But it seems to work now

After you enable the repository you can find Call Notify with a bunch of other softwares in testings.

Please note that I do not recommend installing this app without any basic knowledge of working with the terminal.
This is app is still in testings and it might not work for you after installations, and then i'd like to do some checks to see why, and this requires working with linux terminal (x-term), FYI...

Thanks for the info dude. So, when are you planning to have the finals version the refined one?

I got the phone 3 days back and it's a hassle to deal with miss calls and sms' man!:(

Thanks a lot.

Cheerz!! keep up the good work man!:)
