Google Voice Callback Donate app?

Yes, it's a paid app. No, it does not contain more features than the free Google Voice Callback app. The donate and free apps will always be the same as a tribute to the original open-sourced GV app by Evan Charlton.

Why the donate version? Because with just few cents more than a regular cup of Starbuck coffee (or just a fraction of what you may have saved from AT&T, Verizon, etc.), you can make me quite happy :) A college student can always appreciate some extra cash for coffee (and beer for appropriate occasions).

How to help me debug problems....

I appreciate all your emails reporting problems in my android apps - they are very important for the well-being of the apps! However, some of your emails are really not helpful because there are not enough information for me to figure out what is wrong.

A helpful email should contain at least most of the following:

• What is your phone - manufacture (i.e. HTC), type (i.e. Hero), and the android version (i.e. 1.6, 2.0, 2.1, or 2.2)
  
• Detailed description of what is not working. A simple "it does not work" is not detailed enough, obviously :)
  
• Most useful of all, a logcat. It's basically a log of what happened in your phone. The easiest way to get it is to download the "aLogcat" app from the Android Market. Reproduce whatever problem you had, then open the aLogcat app, hit the menu key, and choose "Send."
  

Happy bug hunting (though I'd prefer you not find any bugs, of course)!

p.s. If you are running Android 2.2 aka Froyo and you have a "Force Close," you can help by just sending the crash report to me by just following the direction from your phone!

Google Voice Callback v0.3 is out!

This version

• Hopefully fix some of the force close problems.
  
• Added a brief first run help screen.
  

It has limited testing. Please help me test it by emailing me when you run into problems. When you email, give details! A short email like "It doesn't work" is completely useless and it's a waste of my and your time. See here for more details.

If you appreciate my work, consider donating!

Google Voice Callback v0.2 is out!

This is a purely bug-fix version. It hopefully fixed the recent login problem (and maybe other small problems.

It has limited testing. Please help me test it by emailing me when you run into problems. When you email, give details! A short email like "It doesn't work" is completely useless and it's a waste of my and your time.

More Update on Google Voice Callback app

Update (5/18): problem fixed (hopefully). See here

Yes, the login problem is confirmed - it now occurs in my own GV account! Rest assured that the fix will come, although I'll need a few more days to finish my paper first.

Be more patient :)

Update on Google Voice Callback app

Update (5/18): problem fixed (hopefully). See here

I've heard lots of report of the app failing due to Google's API change. I'm sorry if it has affected you, but here are why I'm unable to fix it for the moment:

• The Google Voice API is not public - that is, Google really does not (yet) intend for outside developer to use the Voice API, and that means it could break anytime without warning.
  
• Google might have rolled out some changes, but as typical of Google, it does not roll out change to all its user at once, but instead gradually. My own Google Voice account has not been affected by the change, so I don't know what has been changed. And I have no clue how to fix the problem if I don't know what has been changed.
  
• Real life commitment. Sorry I do have a life beside programming - a busy one at that especially near the end of the semester in college.
  

Just be a bit patient...

Quick note: According to some, this is a temporary problem from Google that has been solved. If Google Voice Callback has worked for you in the past, but stopped working recently, could you give it another try to see if it works now?
