N900 and Google Voice

Posted on by — 4 Comments ↓

I really had a difficult time with Google Voice Plugin for conversations and contacts.

Problems:
1. From conversations app, “send IM to” I cannot pick Google Voice from the IM account list, even if I configured GV correctly (saying “signed in”) in my VOIP and IM Accounts. So I cannot use GV IM/SMS

2. From Phone app/dialpad, after entering the number I want to reach, and select call type to be GV, I got “Internet Connection Required”. I tested with both WIFI and tmobile 3g and internet is working OK (with Onion Tor Routing enabled) and I can dial out using Skypw with no issues at all.

3. From system contacts, I have Call/IM/SMS thru GV, but all complains about “Internet Connection Required”, the same above.

4. In Wifi, I can get DialCentral to work. But not with my 3g. DialCentral always says “https://www.google.com/voice/m is not accessible” instead of log me in. I cannot use DailCentral in 3g.

So I end up not being able to use The One Ring both WIFI and 3g, and not being able to use DialCentral if in 3g.

Any help from you guys would be greatly appreciated.

在ipad上阅读中文PDF的问题‏

Posted on by

这是我用WORD文件转成的PDF文件，用以测试用ipad是否能阅读PDF文件。

通过email传来的《文明小史》等PDF文件无法在ipad，ipod 和我的XP 电脑上test-pdf阅读，所以应该是email 所传pdf 文件本身的问题。

=========

进一步测试表明，用我刚刚生成的pdf文件，在ipad上作为email附件阅读没有问题，ezshare PDF阅读器或者用浏览器看都没有问题。

cannot upload any images. hanging there to load images…

still a buggy app. cannot upload images.

worst of all, it deletes ur posts without any confirmations or warnings. my suggestion: avoid using it.

it’s a shame that n900 has only those crappy apps and maemo select apps page has only 5 pages of apps without even a search function. compare with apple, nokia doesnot know a damn thing about how to attact customers. n900 is ok, but who will buy it without apps???
