I remember seeing similar menu options on the HTC G1 but they dont appear to be there on the Neuxs 1. There is only 2 options Google and Facebook contacts but no sim.

I searched our friend google and turns out you cant.. u have to import sim contacts on nexus 1 to google contacts.

So i cant test the fix till the weekend.

And on the option to send text from cabbage as default. Thats on the list to but requires a fair bit of work, so when I get some spare time in next 2-3 weeks Ill get it done

Ah awkward but you can see why google would implement it. It's not a big deal though and easy to fix (refer to my tut above :P). The other features you mentioned are probably more important.
And I'm not posting just to draw attention to what I want from the app, just in case anyone would think that . Implement if and when you can

I've browsed the thread, so forgive me if I've missed this.

Treated myself to a Desire on Meteor Bill today, and got myself Cabbage. Had the issue with contacts not showing up; sorted that. Now it seems that messages I send from Cabbage aren't going through. Any ideas anyone? Every time the text sends it tells me I have one less webtext, so I assumed as much until I didn't get any replies all day.

How did you get the contacts to show up on cabbage?

SIM:
Open "People" on the phone. Press Menu. Select Import/Export and Import from SIM Card. Create these contacts under you google account of course. Alternatively Import to the phone and continue as below to do them all at once

I just did that.

EDIT:
Tried it there a few minutes ago to different networks and everyone got the texts. Guess it works now. Maybe it was just Meteor acting the eejit last night.

Hi guys, anyone with a htc desire who has the contacts lookup problem that wouldnt mind testing a possible fix let me know please.

All I did (on advice from this thread) was the import/export sync with my gmail account and that sorted the contacts issue. Worked for me might not work for others.

Hey ryderster, first of all thanks for bringing cabbage to Android. Anyway I was wondering do you keep the version of cabbage on the marketplace up to date. I downloaded it last night but it said version 1.0?

ryderster

Hi youcancallme>al,

The android market place will only let you upload a application with newer versions.
The Irish Cabbage Lite is version one on release 15.


Regards,
Ryderster

ryderster,

PM me or whatever?

I don't get you, do you mean then that its good to have the version from the marketplace so we will get notified of updates when they are uploaded? Also is there any way to check what version we currently have? cheers

Really great app. Quick suggestion, in the next release, move the form buttons below the message input box. Makes more sense.

Well done though!

ryderster

Hi youcancallme>al,
The market place has the latest release.
I'll add in the next version a method to check version.

I don't think it does tbh. If the buttons are below the message box then when you're finished typing you need to hide the keyboard before you can send the message. As it is you can just type your message and hit send. I prefer it this way anyway

Afaik it was the other way to begin with and people complained

Hi Bomber,
Wont do anything mad, just may not work

Just extract the zip to get the apk.

Ryderster

btw, meteor customers will now find that they can send up to 480 characters in a single message. If you send 480 characters 3 messages are deducted from your allowance but they all arrive as one.

Sorry, no go. Tried it with no success. Created 2 Test files on the Phone and SIM (Test1, Test2). The program didn't see either.
Also the UI is not as it used to be. All JButtons (assuming its Java?) are square and JTextfields (Recipient/Your Message...) only go 2/3rd's of the way across the screen with the exception of the recently selected drop down box.
Try again I guess...

ryderster

thanks for trying...
em thought that would happen...

ah emm... i may try again...sooner the better i get my hands on a desire

think its a valid reason to get new handset!! haha

Bomber6

No problem...you mean besides the quality of the handset itself . Compared it with a flatmates iPhone. No competition! A worthy purchase.
Let me know if you have any other versions that need testing. It's not a big deal though. Just put a note in similar to my guide in the release notes/help file etc and worry about integrating other features perhaps?

Sorry if this has been asked already, but this is a long thread:eek:
Can you use cabbage to send free texts if you are abroad i.e. roaming?

It relies on Wifi not GPRS from what I can see so yes why not

Brian

This has suddenly started working for me again (Meteor). I have to say, the integration with my Sent Messages in my inbox is absolutely genius. A++ would download again.

You wont be charged for the text but you will be charged for the data so unless you have wifi I would just send the normal text while abroad

The amount you're charged for accessing the internet when roaming is still cheaper than sending a text. Usually ~4c vs 20c, I found.

Can it actually use 3g though? I haven't checked (3G disabled on my phone) but based on reading other apps details most others don't (i.e. wifi only, which is free naturally)

You can program it to use both or either so it just depends on the implementation

Anyone getting an error message after sending texts? Sent one to a mate earlier to show him how it works and it came up with a force close error message and said it wasn't sent but his phone beeped straight away so it actually sent grand. Had the same problem yesterday too but haven't used it in a couple or weeks before that.
I'm on Vodafone payg and one was sent on WiFi the other via 3G

I had the same error once on Meteor, but the message seemed to go.

ryderster

cheers for the error, ill sort that one...

Feature Request: Recent Contacts

I'm not sure how the current "Recent" list works, because mine seems to be filled with unknown/blank numbers, but it would be neat if the Recent list was populated with the phone numbers of the contacts from whom you last received a message. ie I get a message from Paul, then I go to reply to him in Cabbage and his number is automatically at the top of the Recent list because he's the last person I got a text from. Make sense? Possible? An exclude list would also be useful in that situation eg I use Cabbage to text people not on Meteor, so it would be handy to be able to exclude contacts that I identify as Meteor.

thanks ryderster, great app as it is!

Darksaga87

Is there a way to synch the contacts in my "people" contact folder with the cabbage app?
I enter numbers in manually.

Great app though!
