Oops, I did have one bug in it. Hopefully the one I found is what made it not work for you. I'm going to try and push a new version out

What I do for my screenshots I post is I blur or black out the numbers.

I looked into it. If you get the vertical scrollbar before the horizontal, it work wraps correctly, otherwise it wants to scroll off the screen. Quite odd I'd say. Could you file a bug on this and i'll look into it (or maybe end up filing one against GTK)

1.0.7-12 doesn't fix the log in problem - same error, can't log in. Maybe we need to delete the file that saves our user name and password?

Look a couple posts up to my response to qole who also reported on this issue. 1.0.7-13 is built and is awaiting being put in extras-devel

I see that the vast majority of people have no problem running this application but some do. Could it simply be that there is a conflict between Dialcentral and some other custom installed application/hack?
With such an open system I would think that could be a possibility.
Maybe back up, re-flash and install just Dialcentral and see if it now works?

Two little requests of my own:
I've used Dialcentral for a week+ now and it is really good.

The only things that I still have to go back to the google.com/voice site for now are;

- Listening to voicemails left.
The transcripts are often, for me, not accurate enough and I need to actually listen to the voice mails.
I would love for there to be a feature w/in DC that would let me do that right there

- Separate SMS and voicemail transcripts.
Maybe instead of a 'Messages' button have one named 'SMS' and one named 'Voicemails'.

I feel bad asking for features in an application that is already great but well, IF you would consider any of my requests down the road that'd be great too

Oh and one BUG/Issue:
- I have a Skype number set up as the 'call-back' number.
Today I tried to call from the DC's keypad. The person on the other side 'saw' my incoming call but there was never a voice connection.

I tried both with Skype open and closed on the tablet.

It's a minor thing as I of course can call from Skype..but it would just be convenient to be able to use the 'Dial' button in DC to call back using a Skype number.

Is this a know limitation/issue?

Lastly:
Is there a way to open up replying to SMS messages by double-tapping on the message? As it is now I have to select it and the press Enter to get to the reply screen.

*sigh* Things would work better if I actually paid attention to my code and so I could know whether to apply my login hack in right place. I was too eager to get it in that I copy and pasted it into a part of the code that is always never hit. I've changed that and am finishing up on some tweaks and then I'll get a newer version up

Luckily people have been very cooperative in helping me fix these issues rather than just throwing their hands up in the air and walking away. I would highly discourage reflashing to fix issue because it just masks an issue rather than fixing it. I have gone without ever reflashing my n810. As for my 770 I might have done it once to fix an issue but the rest of the time its been to jump between OS version.

In these cases it wouldn't. The two most recent faults are
  • Google slowly rolled out an update. Some users saw a change in login behavior and others didn't. This was confirmed by logs people generated for me.
  • For certain users Google is giving them a javascript redirect. Again this is confirmed by logs. I have a theory why this is happening. When I first added support for GoogleVoice (on top of GrandCentral support) it would randomly redirect from mobile versions of pages to desktop version and for speed I rely on the mobile version.

Including voicemail text was a compromise I made way back when due to not even wanting to deal with streaming audio especially with a lot of other issues I'm trying to resolve or improve.

Go ahead and request an enhancement. Maybe someday in the feature I or some other adventuresome person will get to it.

Awww, I considered that a very clever UI idea. I'm not sure how other people feel about it to know if this is a majority feeling but I kind of like them together. One issue that can be run into is adding an extra tab might drop the size of the tabs too much, I'm not sure.

Again you can always file an enhancement request and we could use that to try and gauge people's interest.

I always feel guilty for how few of my ideas for different applications are implemented but I really like to see things polished rather than abandoned and with the explosion in the number of users I've definitely gotten a good share of positive suggestions for polish.

When you say "no voice connection" do you mean that you never got the callback to your skype number to pick up or? Or you pick up the call and neither of you can hear each other? If you never get the callback, does it work from GoogleVoice webpage? With a desktop version of Skype open?

What version of Dialcentral are you using? For one build in the 1.0.7 series, I changed the way selections work to cut down on taps but the lack of UI response drove people to have me revert it.

Hey Epage,
I'm back!

For SMS/Voicemail separation, how about an option like you do for contacts. At the top, let it be selectable for sms, voice mail, or BOTH.

For voice mail playback, can you somehow scrape the link to the voice mail so it is launchable though Dialcentral? Maybe not stream the audio through DC, but allow it to launch your browser to listen to it.

Also is there any way to make the downloading of contacts in the login process optional? For the most part I use DC for SMS receive/reply. While it doesn't take long to download the contacts, for the most part it is unnecessary for some users. I rarely change my contacts as I assume many others are the same way. Can you somehow cache the contacts to a local file, and only update it with a refresh within the application. It will speed up the login process and eliminate a redundant process (for me at least).

Better yet, maybe a selectable option for the user to select their "home screen" when they launch the application. So if you are a texter like me, opening the messages tab on the boot.

Yeah, sorry about that I was too hasty in getting the fix in that I didn't pay attention to where I put it which ended up in a place that is never hit (dead code).

1.0.7-14 should now have it in the right place. Its already in diablo extras-devel but I just barely pushed it to the build queue for fremantle till right now because I forgot to hit a button before heading out.
