Trouble Shooting and Reporting of Bugs

Are the Call/SMS buttons grayed out?

  • This means it is not logged in

Can't call

  • In the account configuration, is a callback number set?
  • Did you enter the area code?
  • Have you tried calling a good known number like one of your own (that isn't the callback)

The views show stale data?

  • Go into the menu and select "Refresh"

Information to include when reporting an issue

  • Your version of Dialcentral
  • Information from the steps you followed above
  • From what tab are you having issues (Dialpad, Recent, Messages, Account Info)?
  • Is it a US or international number?
  • (For the advanced) Could you post the contents of "~/.dialcentral/dialcentral.log"
  • (For the advanced) If its a login issue, could you run "/usr/lib/dialcentral/gv_backend.py USERNAME PASSWORD" and post the files generated along with the output
