[App][Google Voice Dialer 0.1a - BETA testers requested

[techhead89]

Whipped up a program here that should allow you to automatically dial from your GV number. The only catch is, I don't have my account switched over yet, so I cant try it myself. You need to install 1 file, then use the program to apply the Google Voice settings. If this program works, please let me know, as well as let me know the optimal values for pause1 and pause2 (will have to experiment a little). To then dial via GV, right click (click-hold) the person in the contacts list and select Dial with Calling Card.


For Windows Mobile Pro, version 5.0 or later
.net 2.0 or greater required

Install Instructions:
1. Install CAB
2. Apply Settings via GVD
3. Reboot

EDIT: It should be noted, pause 1 is the pause between the call and the auto-entering 2, pause 2 is the pause before entering the number. 0 will wait for the send key, and each number after that is aprx 2 seconds. So a 4 would be 8 seconds (4 *2).

What is it exactly?? voice dialing and google?:confused:

[tgkdubb]

I just upgrade my Grandcentral today..I'll give this a try and report back....Do I juss need to install the cab or also grab the exe?

edit: just read directions directly below lol I shall report back soon..so glad they added sms

[tgkdubb]

doesn't seem to be work? I install the cab apply the settings (add my number and 1 for each of the other fields) and soft reset. use file explorer to open calling card folder and click on only icon (CallingCard.dll) avail I get the message: There is no application associated with "CallingCard". Run the application first, then open this file from within the application. any help? Something missing in the cab? though I'm far from the expert here

using Raph 800 stock rom if that helps any

To make calls you have to right click (click-hold) the person in your contacts menu. Think of this as an "extention" to your Contacts application.

[techhead89]

What is it exactly?? voice dialing and google?:confused:

The idea is, to make a call with your Google Voice showing in the caller ID, you gotta call GV first, then call out. This allows quick and easy integration.

Another note: If you had a plan from a certain carrier that allowed unlimited calling to one number, theoretically this would enable unlimited anytime calling, anywhere. Just throwing that out there...

[gai-jin]

I love the concept, but I'm not sure about the implementation. I don't use the default poutlook contacts app, I run pocket informant. Will this add the calling card menu there?

Any chance of making the calling card dial the default option, so that all calls (including calls dialed using the keypad, rather than contacts app) would route this way?

ETA: Just confirmed, this does not work with pocket informant.

The reason for doing this is to mainly test and see if this approach will work with Google Voice (cant try it myself yet, waiting for feedback). The implementation currently is, like you said, less than optimal, but was the quickest and easiest I could get. I didn't want to wrap up a lot of time if this dosen't work. Can you check, and if it does let me know the minimal values that work for the pauses? I intend to leave this option out on the future versions.

Sure, I'll just disable PI temporarily so I can use the default contacts app. Give me a few.

[gai-jin]

Ended up having to uninstall PI, I couldn't find the setting to change the shortcuts back to default with it still installed. Oh well.

Pause of 1 in both instances works fine, actually seems like it could be shorter, but of course 0 doesn't work that way.

You need to insert a # after the contact phone number is dialed. Right now it just sits there and I have to push # manually. (Or wait several seconds and then it goes through without the #)

[gai-jin]

The Touchtones when dialing the contact number are also probably a bit slower than necessary, but I'm not sure you can change that.

[outphase]

This program plus iDialer make a good combo for dialing out. GVD covers contact lists, and iDialer covers manual dialing.

[tgkdubb]

oooohhh ok...so I just tried it and it calls sprint 411? - Scratch that had to input my number with the GVD tool again...

[gai-jin]

You put in your Google Voice number in the GVD tool?

When you try to make a call, what number shows up in the phone app as the number it's dialing?

it's showing my GV number now...sometimes it calls like it's checking my messages....and sometimes I can hear it get all the way to the prompt where its asking for the number to dial...then once it attempts to autodial it says the number is invalid....I think I need to play with the pause settings. ok while typing this I've had success...my settings were 1 then 2 :)

[gai-jin]

1 and 1 worked smoothly for me on several tries. I wonder why 1 and 2 would be needed on yours, the 2nd pause really should be the same across all phones/networks I would think.

Did you press pound manually after the touch tones for the phone number were done?

[dividivi]

Second this. Can you modify the program to insert # at the end?
btw, It works pretty good on my TP with pause 1 & 1. Thank you.

As far as I know iDialer doesn't work with google voice (atleast version 0.42).
What do you mean by manual dialing? Do you mean dial GV number + 2 + and actual number?

[techhead89]

Ok guys, still working on adding in the #, as well as some other modifications. It's kinda hard working blind, but I hope to have something new here soon. Its also kinda hard doing this coding in VB, when I've never really studied it at all. Language similarity ftw.

iDialer v0.43 will support GV. I'm working on it right now. But I'm using a different method, not the calling-card method.

Great! I'm a big fan of iDialer v0.42. I used it with my grandcentral account in combination with iContacts. Thanks for updating it to Google Voice.

I also think pressing # automatically afterward would be great. It works great, though. iDialer v.43 beta also works well.

[techhead89]

Ive run into a little hump with adding the # on the end, as calling cards aren't really setup this way. Still working on it, may try to do some more on it tomorrow if I have some free time.

[breezethrusd]

This program is working great for me

Would it be possible to make an app that could be used to send/recieve texts using the google voice number?
I have a limited # of texts and shut off the option to forward tests form GV to my cell phone. So right now, I log onto google.com/voice/m to text.
An app to handle GV texts would be great

[TheDirector]

:D It works! It's a bit clunky, but it works. I love the integration with the contacts. My biggest issue with the GrandDialer (besides that it no longer works) was that it required using a 3rd party contacts program that had no search capability.

It's a start since Googel Voice is only a few weeks old, but I'm hoping someone out there is developing a better integrated app. As it stands I love it!

Thanks!

I would pay for that :D

[IMBAE75]

I am not knocking the program but I wanted to share something..... I converted over, when I am logged on to google voice all I have to do is select call it places a call from my google voice # also when getting and sending text you send them using the sms option from there......same thing your google voice number shows up on the other side and not your number.....when you send one, it looks kind of strange with the number not really the same as your google voice one when you look at it sent....... I tested this with my cousin and also a few other people that don't have my cell number

[breezethrusd]

I would pay for that :D

I would pay for it too

[yazz]

Wow! This is a great app!
Just installed and tested, it works great!
Good job! :)

I actually came out of "lurk" mode after 2 years because of this app!

[gthing]

The best way to integrate SMS would be if G would let you use Google Talk with your Voice number. Right now everything appears to come from a 406 number rather than your GV number. After that they would need to re-enable the use of Gtalk SMS from 3rd party apps.

That way you could use any IM program on your phone (any phone really) and communicate with people via sms. You still have full control over alerts, etc.

But since we have to wait on G, the solution in the meantime would be to write an IM bot that uses the GV web interface to both send and receive (and relay) SMS messages. That way you get SMS via IM capabilities, but the downside is that you have to have a computer to host the bot that is always on. If someone wrote something that could run on an apache server with PHP I would be willing to host it for people for free (within reason).

The other solution is to have a dedicated app on your phone that periodically checks the GV interface and notifies you of new messages and allows you to send, etc. But I really think IM is the best way to integrate as it allows you to text from just about anywhere.

[gthing]

ON the voice calls side, the calling card approach is okay but calls should really be initiated by a request to the GV server. If no data connection is available, the calling card method could be used as a fallback.

[hoopsbwc34]

Check out this Android app: http://smarterware.org/1193/gv-integrates-google-voice-into-android

gthing: Personally, I prefer the calling card method... I don't want my phone to ring when I am calling out, it's annoying. It would be nice to have the option like GV for andriod

Agreed. An option would be nice.

Any more progress been made on this program? Specifically whether # can be sent....Thanks for the work so far!

[CJ Morin]

Is anyone having trouble with there account. Apparently now I am having to enter my PIN to access any options. I never changed any of my settings since I installed this and have used it many times a day and just today I started noticing this problem.

Google made a change requiring the pin last night....the gvdialer program is also having to make a change to support entering the pin.

What kind of luck is this we finally get a workaround up and working decently and they go and change the rules on us. My brother and I have been going to the suggestion page and suggesting they make a WinMo App at least once to twice a week but lets see if that works out (I highly doubt that will).

iDialer + iContact work just fine right now.

Let me give that a try. Thanks.

[padawan]

Giving www.gvdialer.com a try and it seems to work pretty good so far.

It gives you the option to dial/call from your cell phone as your cell # or GV # when you call someone.

As stated in a previous post, you have to have your GV voice mail PIN set up properly.

Its pretty cool... Your GV # shows as the caller ID # on the receiving phone.

[Skywing269]

Only thing I dont like is that it doesnt show the dialed number in the call log, only the GoogleVoice number when it does the call back.

I'm working on something you guys might find interesting. Just beta, since I have a few more features to work on, including SMS reception, but you might give it a try:

Brian's app doesn't work for me just yet. It seems simple and like it'd work just fine. I'm hoping that he gets back to me.

Right now it'll dial my google voice number and then make a beep then stop doing anything else.

guys, i think Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 and Tellme are way better than this google

[xcom923]

<_< that's not even remotly the same type of program Google voice dialers re-routes your call to your google voice number. Voice command simply allows you to call someone using your voice. In theory you'd be able to make voice command work with google voice IF you were to take hold of the the dialer as it's making a call instead of going to an external dialer in the first place.

iDialer v0.53 works great, you can choose what you want to use when you press call , either your network or Google voice.

iDialer v0.53 works beautifully
