Hi,

i installed the ussd-pad and the ussd-widget from the garage site:
pexpect_2.3.0-1_all.deb
ussd-common_0.0.0-3_all.deb
ussd-pad_2010.01.07_armel.deb
ussd-widget_0.0.3-0_all.deb

Out of the box, they did not work for me as my provider (medion mobile) answers to requests with a cp850 encoded message but with decoding scheme unspecified.

Example:

Code:

at
OK
at+cusd=1,"*100#",15
+CUSD: 0,"Ihr Guthaben f\x81r die Nr.491234567890 betr\x84gt 13.53 Euro",15

As the answer contains non-ascii characters gsmdecode.py crashes when called by ussdquery.py. I modified ussdquery.py so that it converts the answer to utf8 and directly outputs to stdout. I had to open stdout as "wb" to output unicode because otherwise python tries to encode the string to ascii.

Hi,

I've bought a n900 and for me to check my current funds i need to call *555# and on n900 I get an "invalid number" error...

Please fix this issue on the new maemo 5 version.

Thanks

New ussd-widget is out. Changes:
* Non-blocking queries, hildon-home doesn't hang any more
* Regexp support
* Automatically shrinks width (not height)
* Word wrap
* Timed renew
* Localization support (russian localization available)

New version of ussd-common:
* Tries to initialize modem several times
* More robust, all exceptions are caught

After installation reconfigure vidget: config format has changed.

Thanks
