@epage Would it be possible to sync the contacts based on a group? For example, in GV create a "TOR" group and add contacts to it. Then if there was a setting we could import all, none, or TOR. Perhaps that would help minimize some of the contact issues and maximize functionality?
I already provide All and None. Is there much of a use case where someone would want only certain contacts or only certain phone types?

Didn't know if it'd be hard to do. Just a suggestion for contact issues.

For those of you who have your n900 number as a callback, how do you deal with TOR IMs combining with SMS replies? Do you just put up with getting double the replies (the SMS to your n900 number and another in the TOR IM session) or do you have some other solution?

If you want to only use your cell's sms and not the TOR's, then you can set the text polling time to "-1" which means "never poll". The other option would be to have GV stop forwarding to your cell.
If the texts are free, you might as well save battery and use the cell.

Noted an interesting bug. When I specified my Google Voice account it uses whoever's name I clicked on as my contact name in my GV IM talk. I'll post pictures to explain if needed.

I just uploaded 0.7.7 to the autobuilder
- On change between available/away, start state_machine at max rather than min, reducing overhead
- Added a check for voicemails on missed/rejected calls (checks 3 times, 1 minute apart each)
- Adjusted default polling times to be more battery cautious for our n8x0 friends who can't change things right now
- Bugfix: Some of the derived polling settings had bugs
- Bugfix: Setting text polling to infinite would still have polling done if one sent a text
