Thanks, I was thinking more in line of having something like "Conversations" on Diablo and have it show incoming SMS or transcribed vmails.

I've been using DialCentral for a while now, it was quite buggy when using only extras, but now I've upgraded using extras-devel, and DialCentral is vastly improved. Thanks!

One odd little bug/quirk I started realizing:
When I start up DC it auto-logs me in as usual and I at this time click 'Messages'. Now it takes me to the bottom, Account tab instead of the Messages tab where it used to go to.

Let me get the steps down
1. Launch Dialcentral
2. Wait for auto-login
3. Click "Messages"
4. Dialcentral switches to "Account"

Does that sound correct? What is the reproducibility? Once? half the time? always? What happens when you click a different tab after login?

And could you provide me a log
  • Ctrl+l (little L) to copy it and then paste it somewhere to send to me
  • Grab it from "~/.dialcentral/dialcentral.log"

Hopefully I can get an idea of whats going wrong.

I love this program and forgive me if I missed something earlier in the thread. I'm just now finding my way around the program and getting the following error using SMS through my Google Voice account - "There was a problem with GV: {'data':{'code':20}, 'ok':False} I have 1.1.8-0 installed.

Basically, what I think I'm experiencing is the program failing to refresh properly on receipt of a reply SMS. The new message properly triggers the LED notification but the new thread cannot be found. If I go to the Account tab and re-login the new thread shows up.

Also, is there a way to delete messages. I apologize its not readily apparent to me.

Great work! This has significantly extended the life of my N810 and given me renewed interest in it. IMO this is a must have program.

code 20 is google's general error code. Can you think of anything different or unique you might be doing with your texting that you could hit it?

I doubt it would provide much insight but there is a log file stored at "~/.dialcentral/dialcentral.log" or Ctrl+l (lower-case L) to copy the log to then paste wherever convenient.

On the messages screen there is a button where you can select whether you want to view "All", "Unread", or "Inbox" messages. You cannot mark things are read or archive things from within DC.

Hi epage,
I recently encountered a problem and it seems it was caused by DIal Central.
It started when I realized I used all my date plan (500Mb) within less than a day and doing nothing special on my phone but sending a few emails and IMs.
I found out that my phone was sending a lot of data by itself and, using Wireshark and xterminal, found out it was communicating constantly with a google IP and that it was initiated by an app using some python component.

Dial central using a python component (python alarm I think), I decided to uninstall it, even though it was not running (just an icon on the desktop) and all data exchange stopped -- finally!.

I am not sure what is wrong, I had DC for a long time on my phone. I just updated Maemo before when it happened.

Just wanted to let you know, I'd like to understand what happened.

Check out the Account Tab where you can disable notifications or lengthen the time between checking. I don't know about the volume of data associated with notifications but the default time to check is 5 minutes which is 288 sessions per day.

Except for notifications (which are disabled by default) DC only creates traffic based on user interaction. My focus was on battery life but it also helps people with limited data plans. If you check the log, "~/.dialcentral/dialcentral.log" or Ctrl+l (lower-case L) to copy it, it lists all of the times DC downloads from the web. It could possibly give a hint if something is going crazy.

Steps:

1) Launching DC
2) Clicking 'Messages" (before auto-login starts).
The messages tab gets selected.
3) Now the auto-login starts
4) I am taken to the Account tab.

Or:
1) Lanching DC
2) Wait for autologin to start
3) I am taken directly to Accounts tab

Reproducability: 100%
