    If you start typing in the first few letters, the name/number of that person should appear in a drop-down list.

    No nothing happens, i can go into recent and see the last ones i put in manually. But nothing happens when i begin a name/number.

    Hi Baza210,
    They are two great ideas.

    Hi boc121 and Darksaga87,
    What type of phones handsets do you have?
    Have you imported your sim contacts to your google contacts?

    Regards,

    Im on the Desire. AFAIK, they are all inported.

    Is there a way to check? Ive got my Gmail account set up and I have imported all contacts from the sim card.

    Em Sorry I dont have a Desire so I am not sure exactly how to check if contacts are imported to google contacts.

    If they are imported it should work with you.

    If you read earlier posts, they explain how to import sim contacts to google contacts on the desire.

    Getting quite a few Force Closes in the last day or two.

    Hero, Modaco 3.1.

    I've noticed when I have Cabbage open, and I get an incoming message, I use Handcent, then I get the force close.

    Not every time, but occasionally.

    None the less, great app, I've ploughed through my texts this month in 2 weeks, and its really come in handy.

    What did you do?
    I can only see recent contacts that I added manually :confused:

    EDIT: btw, absolutely superb app. Kudos to the developer :)

    It involved a lot of moving contacts from phone to sim to google contacts.

    You need to have a google account set up AFAIK.

    Hi guys,

    I hear great things about this app...

    However, given I'm very new to Android/Smartphones, I'm clueless. I have a 2 day old Desire, and I've tried to download and install cabbage, but I have just got .jar/.jad files that I cannot open. What do I need to do? Do I need to root it before installing?

    Thanks in advance!

    I think you've downloaded the version Sam Vimes made for Nokia phones. To install Cabbage for Android you need to open up the Market application and search for "Cabbage". I believe it's called "Irish Cabbage Lite". Then tap that and install it.

    You're a gent, working for me now...

    However, all I seem to be able to see is "Recent", "Send SMS", and "Clear", with two fields, one for number and one for message body.

    Am I missing something? Is there any functionality for contact import/selection etc? Or am I using a lite version or something? The changelog on the cabbage page mentions updates in these areas for the mobile version.

    Thanks again, apologies for the ignorance!

    The website you are looking at is a similar app, but runs on java and is not relevant to Android phones. If you hit the menu button you can set up your account (i.e put in mobile number and website password). The app uses your phonebook on the phone so tap the field and start typing a name and it appears.

    I still have nothing in the way of drop down or appearing names. I've tried sending a message to my/friend's number by typing the name in the top box exactly as it is spelled in my phone contacts, but no message has delivered?

    Have you set up your account? the menu button and then config account. there is no drop down, the top area you can type names in. BUt having said that some people have had issues and have to sync everything with gmail as far as I am aware to get cabbage to recognise the names in phonebook. it seems to be to do with how android deals with numbers and the apps access to the information. this might be your issue re numbers not appearing, but typing in the numbers should send a msg if the account is set up.

    Thanks Eoferrall: Yeah, I have linked the app with my mymeteor login, and have sent messages successfully so far, but only when I manually type in the recipient number. It just seems that the receipient field doesn't autocomplete or offer suggestions.

    No worries, we are all here to help!:) In that case then I reckon you have the same issue as previous posters, if you have a look at this post by bomber6 it will hopefully help you out, it has helped others afaik.

    hi ryderster, again fair play on the app really really good :)

    few issues I am having for your info! using desire.

    1. sometimes after sending a message, the sent message gets put in a different sms thread in the internal sms app. I *think* this happens when the following happens:
    1) you receive a message
    2) reply via cabbage (sent sms saved ok in current thread)
    3) receive another message in thread
    4) reply via PHONE
    5) receive again
    6) finally reply with cabbage now saves the sent message in separate thread.

    2. recent contacts isn't consistent - some contacts don't save to recent list and the default selected contact in the recent list is never the most recent used.

    suggestion if I may - in landscape mode you could have the text boxes width set to fill the screen?

    good work man, best app on the market for me! :D

    Do Vodafone UK block the Cabbage server or something? Getting an error when sending texts (Meteor) with the WAP over in London.
