Google Voice Callback v0.10.1 is out!

A quick update. What's new in v0.10.1?


  • Now you can choose from multiple callback numbers when making a call (just select multiple callback numbers in the settings). Let me know if this works well!
  • minor fixes for those who donated via Paypal (thanks!)


Enjoy!

Calendar Quick Add v0.5 is out!

This update for Gingerbread is long in coming, sorry! The main change is the fix for Gingerbread crash, but there are lots of small improvements here and there:


  • Recognizes phrases such as "in 72 hours" or "in a week"
  • Recognizes keywords "noon", "midnight", and "now".
  • Fully spellt out months such as "September 25" is now recognized in text quick add (previously it was only recognized in voice quick add)
  • Recognizes year as in e.g. 3/18/2012
  • If hour is greater than 12, assume it's in 24-hour format regardless of setting.
  • Show day of week on confirmation screen.
  • Hopefully fixes ending date before starting date bug and the 12 hour into the next day bug
  • Detects 12/24-hour format and day-month/month-day format from system settings in first run setup



Enjoy!

Google Voice Callback v0.10 is out!

What's new or changed:


  • option to auto append area code to outgoing numbers. This will only apply to numbers with exactly 7 digits.
  • homescreen shortcuts to change callback number
  • much more powerful Tasker/Locale plugin: check it out! You can now change callback numbers and several other settings from Tasker/Locale. Let me know if you want other settings to be accessible from Tasker/Locale.
  • an menu item to "test" a number against filter rules - for those of you with somewhat complicated rule setup, you can easily test your wildcards/regexes.
  • Homescreen shortcut to turn on/off is now also available from the homescreen itself (the usual way, via long presses on an empty space on the homescreen)
  • A fast scrolling thumbnail is added to the pick number screen when creating new filter rules.


Enjoy! And happy belated Valentine's day! :)

Google Voice Callback v0.9 is out!

What's new / changed?


  • New filter rule to filter by phone type (mobile, home, etc.)
  • Filter rules can now be ordered via drag and drop. Rules are checked in the order you specified, and the check will stop once a match is found.
  • Option to start CSipSimple before callback.
  • The passwordless login method is refined a bit in the setting page, and the error catching is more streamlined.
  • Ask one more permission to fix problem with passwordless login for some Android 2.1 phones.
  • Now uses the Android 2.0 Contact API when applicable, which should solve some phone's problem with no contacts shown when picking rules.
  • Call log clean up should now also take care of the callback through Android 2.3's SIP stack.
  • Fixes for Quiet Hour.
  • User interface tweaks here and there. :)


A note to CSipSimple users: for even better compatibility, get the CSipSimple version (from their website) that has the filter feature. Add a filter for your GV number to auto-answer the callback call.

Enjoy!

Google Voice Callback v0.8 is out!

Happy new year! Google Voice Callback v0.8 brings in some new things:


  • (Android 2.0+ only) Login no longer requires entering password; can use the existing authentications on the phone.
  • The progress dialog when calling back is now dismissed before a new one is up. Overlapping dialogs should now be gone on some devices (some Android 1.6 and others).
  • Number checking for pattern rules with wildcard "*" are now checked after characters "-() " are removed to allow better matching.
  • Quiet Hours settings page should now respect the user's preference for 12/24-hour format.
  • Some better error / information messages.


The big change, of course, is the passwordless login. If you have a Android 2.0+ device (that is, Eclair, Froyo, or Gingerbread), it is highly recommended that you change to the new passwordless login if possible. It is much more secure! This does not work for Android 1.5 and 1.6 users, however, because the authentication API does not exist for Android version below 2.0.

Enjoy!

Google Voice Callback v0.7 is out!

This one has been long in coming; I was occupied with some real life tasks (good luck to me on my graduate school applications, everyone!) Anyways, v0.7 is out:


  • turn off callback completely for certain weekdays and hours (see Quiet Hour in setting)
  • can now call your own GV number
  • bug fixes


The major change is the "Quiet Hour" feature, which is among the number one asked: turn off callback completely for certain time (such as any time other than Monday-Friday, 7am-8pm).

(Those of you who like to play around with your phone probably already implemented this feature on your own with Tasker/Locale. This feature is simply here since perhaps some of you don't want to pay for an extra app to do something as simple as this. I still strongly encourage you to use Tasker/Locale to turn callback on/off based on more complex situations. More features on the plugin is forthcoming, including the ability to change the callback number with the plugin. Stay tuned!)

Happy "callbacking" and happy holidays!

Changes in v0.7.1
