Troubleshooting 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 serious users and serious problems (Google changes the "API") is the following command:
/opt/dialcentral/lib/backends/gvoice/gvoice.py USERNAME PASSWORD

Cool app. Has loads of games installed in no-time!One eneanchment request, if I may please add a Loading screen, or disable the Play button once pressed, and it's loading the game, or make it change colour to show it's been pressed.I ended up with some games loading a few times, as I clicked it a few times, as nothing seemed to be happening Oh, and add in more games ASAP (Assassins Creed, anyone?)

Notifications
Really if you want this, maybe you should be using The One Ring.
If notifications are acting odd, try experimenting with these
python /opt/dialcentral/lib/alarm_handler.py -x # Show alarm python /opt/dialcentral/lib/alarm_handler.py -d # Delete the alarm python /opt/dialcentral/lib/led_handler.py # Stop the LED
In settings.ini
[alarm] notifier=PATH_TO_CUSTOM_NOTIFIER
Example notifiers included:
/opt/dialcentral/lib/alarm_notify.py #Default /opt/dialcentral/lib/examples/log_notifier.py /opt/dialcentral/lib/examples/sound_notifier.py
The program that periodically checks for new messages has its own log file: ~/.dialcentral/notifier.log
