Thanks for the files, but now it still doesn't work. I wonder if the installer package changed something so its no longer working

I've changed the permissions so it should not be that. Did it have/need a symbolic link change or something that got undone....

Basically I hit the app, it clears the screen, then goes right back to summerboard. Is 3.0-k working for anyone else?

EDIT: Ok this is weird, seeing NetMages note above, I ran it from putty and it runs then on the iPhone?? I had it in a Caterogry, tried removing it, and it will not show on the Summerboard, I think people have mentioned that problem before. Ran poof to hide/unhide, and now see it and NOW it loads???!!! I then SSH'ed and replaced v3.0 with v3.0-k and now that works as well?? Very strange?

Edit2: BTW re-adding it to the category doesn't have any problems.

There appears to be some sort of package/installer issue that is sometimes causing the folder iDialer.app to not have the correct permissions.

If you have a similar issue and can check, check if permissions on iDialer.app look like 0666 (bad) or 0755 (correct). SummerBoard will only display apps with 0755 (or most likely proper executable variations) permissions.

If you can let me know firmware version, jailbreak method, installer version?

[IvanRaide]

First, the previous version 3.0 was working and inside a Category. I upgrade to 3.0-k and it was still showing in the category but would not run. The permission seemed fine, if memory serves it was 777.

So I ran it manually in the putty and that would work/run, but running it from the Category folder would still not work. Removing it from the Category it would not show up on Summerboard. I change the permission to 755 and back to 777 and the directory itself to 777 but it would still not show up in
Summerboard/Springboard.

Using POOF to hide/show fixed that, and then I was able to run it from SpringBoard, (and then re-adding it to the category did not break it again.)

So I would normally say some type of conflict with Category but v3.0 worked ok inside a category, maybe the script didn't like what category does and caused a problem??

Firmware 1.1.3, JB was SoftDev 1.1.3-3, installer 3.01

this app works great on my 112 iphone. except i notice one problem. wen in Enter# mode wen u enter 11 digits it crashes to the springbord. like 1 800 222 3456. does anyone having same issue?

[IvanRaide]

I typed the number you have above, and it searched fine (didn't find anything), then I hit call it didn't call either? I thought it had locked up but I was able to hit back and delete the numbers. So then I noticed I was in SEARCH and I hit the 'search button' to enter ENTER mode and it crashed to the springboard.

When I tried to start it again it immediately crashed to the springboard.

And then when I started it a 3rd time it came up ok but was blank.

So now that I am in enter mode, if I type your number it crashes, (so search is ok, enter is NOT).

As a side question, does anyone have the following... when you bring up iDialer in ENTER mode it shows some number that is invalid (434)555-1212

[Marasmus]

I see you can filter out FAX-numbers. What would really take this app to the next level is the ability to filter out work- and home-numbers, too, so you can search mobile numbers only Most people only call mobile numbers anyway, and on those rare occasions when they need those other numbers, they can spare a few extra seconds to open the regular phone app or turn off the filter. Good or bad idea?

Nice catch. I'll fix it when I upgrade to 1.1.4 and test that - some people are having issues with the numeric keypad not displaying.

In Search mode it won't call if the number doesn't match - should it go ahead and call the entered number then?

LOL - that was the original point of ENTER # mode.

Type in your work (or home) phone number and press + (Contacts). Now, it shows that # by default. Now dial all your other local numbers by entering the last 4 digits, or last 5 digits.

Better still, type in your favorite local number. Now dial that in Enter # mode by pressing CALL. Dial any other numbers by entering the differences from the right. Never dial your local area code again!

See my plan/hope is to always have it in search mode, so that as I type a number it finds it (lowering the keystrokes needed) or if it does not find it cause its a new number, then I can then dial it.

LOL - that was the original point of ENTER # mode.

I didn't know that was a feature , its cool, but I think I would use the Search mode more, so if the above could be added that would be great.

Hey man this is a super great intelligento app!
One 'feature' I've noticed - I have some contacts with 'pause's or commas in their phone number - when the search finds this number and I go to dial it dials without honoring the pause.
I use the pause for dialing phonecards - eg. dial phone card, pause, enter pin, pause then number.

(A bigger iphone problem that I have: the only way I can get this 'prefix' to work before I dial a number is to add a new number to every contact that I want to call with the phonecard - talk about painful. Eg. a contact might have as a number: 1800123123,,1,,pinnumber,,01112341234 where 0112341234 is the persons number.
Anyhow I know that's probably a bit out of scope for idialer but jic I notice that there is a bid going for writing an app such as this on one of the freelance coding auction sites - ie. someone wants to pay for this).

thanks again for the great app!

[jrentzke]

hehe, just noticed that when you install this from installer, the permissions for the app is set to 666
Should we be worried? (other than correcting it?....hehe)

[NetMage]

I'll talk to pf - we thought (hoped?) this issue was resolved. Can you tell me how you jailbroke your phone? Version of Installer?

Hi. First off, great app!

Minor issue I found... IN the ENTER # mode, if I enter anything more than a 10 digit number, the app crashes. I am from the Philippines, and MSISDN format is +63 (9XX) XXXXXXX. where 63 is the country code and 9XX is the mobile operator code. Dialing an international number that would result in more than 10 digits, ie Singapore (+65XXXXXXXX) would have the same result.

Very minor issue as there is a workaround for this anyway (which is to use the standard phone app dialer). I am 1.1.4 jailbroken via Ziphone.

In any case, iDialer has become by default phone app.

Thanks for putting in the work to make this excellent app.

Hi,

I tried to dial following Number, followed by DTMF Codes:

+ 41 44 nnn nn nn,,*nnnnnnn#nnnnnnnn#nnnnnnnnnnnn#

When I tap the green Button, nothing happens....

Any Idea?

Thanks Peter

[NetMage]

I assume this is a number that is in your AddressBook and you are trying to dial it as a match?

I am dialing using the tel:// URL format, which doesn't appear to support the comma or * and # characters when I do a quick test. I'll see if I can find a better way to dial a #.

[unicornch]

Hi NetMage,

Yes, this Number is stored as a contact, and I get it by typing 3 Numbers in iDialer and the +(Contacts).

Sometime, nothing happens, when I tap the green Button. But sometimes the phone tries tpo call, but I get an error 'Anruf fehlgeschlagen' (Call failed)

Bye
Peter
