    Ok. I used the feedback form on the site, but it suggested to post here as well, so here I am. :)

    I think I spotted a bug in the application. Whenever I use a colon in the message, it cannot be sent and I get the error "Could not connect to server". I made many tests and the colon seems to be definitely the culprit, as the message can be sent as soon as I remove it.

    For example:
    "Hello, how are you? :)" --> This message will NOT be sent
    "Hello, how are you?" --> This message will be sent

    My mobile is a Nokia 6300. Does anybody have the same issue?

    Just tried it there and it failed the first time but sent on a second attempt. While my internent connection was still open. Closed cabbage and reopened, went to send same message again and got invalid login details. Thats a weird one. Possibly just the meteor site acting up for me. Have you downloaded the latest version?

    At least I found somebody else with a similar issue. I'm on vodafone and I have the latest version.

    The meteor website is acting up since they upgraded it so that was probably the problem there. He's on vodafone anyway

    It's working on the nokia emulator too. I'll try it on a 6300 when I get home

    Try following these instructions and see if it makes a difference

    settings->configuration->personal configuration->add->access point

    Account name: vodafone isp
    Go into access point settings

    Data bearer: gprs (or packet data)
    Go into bearer settings
    Access point: isp.vodafone.ie
    Authentication type: Normal
    Username:vodafone
    Password:vodafone

    settings->configuration->personal configuration
    Highlight vodafone isp and press options->activate

    settings->configuration->default configuration
    highlight vodafone isp and press options->set default

    settings->configuration->activate default in all applications->yes

    This is exactly the configuration I have. :)

    It works, many thanks! :)
    As a developer I'm curious, what was the bug?

    Yes it does, sending profiles. There's a new screen where you fill in criteria for which login to use for particular numbers. It has a screen that says:
    If the destination number:
    • Starts with (you pick one of these options)
    • Contains
    • Ends with

    This text:
    ______________ (that's a text box)

    Use login:
    • meteor login (whatever your logins are called)
    • O2 login
    • voda login

    Profile name:
    ______________

    It was a request from flodis79 who wants to have Irish numbers use one login and foreign numbers use another without having to manually change it. A lot of people wouldn't bother with it and it's not for the faint of heart either because you have to be careful about what you're matching but it's there if you want it :)

    My URLencode function wasn't working properly so the unconverted : was making it fail. I googled for a J2ME URLencode function and found this working one:
    	public static String URLencode(String s)
    	{
    		if (s!=null) {
    			StringBuffer tmp = new StringBuffer();
    			int i=0;
    			try {
    				while (true) {
    					int b = (int)s.charAt(i++);
    					if ((b>=0x30 && b<=0x39) || (b>=0x41 && b<=0x5A) || (b>=0x61 && b<=0x7A)) {
    						tmp.append((char)b);
    					}
    					else {
    						tmp.append("%");
    						if (b <= 0xf) tmp.append("0");
    						tmp.append(Integer.toHexString(b));
    					}
    				}
    			}
    			catch (Exception e) {}
    			return tmp.toString();
    		}
    		return null;
    	}

    Feature suggestion for you Sam, have selectable servers similar to the way the accounts work, that way you don't have to put the entire URL in if you want to change servers quickly and you won't have to remember them. Maybe have more than one default server?
    Thanks :).


  • Registered Users Posts: 21,611 ✭✭✭✭Sam Vimes


    Sure why not

    I'm not sure what you mean by more than one default server though


  • Registered Users Posts: 721 ✭✭✭mk6705

    I mean having more than one pre-loaded server. It would make things easier if there was an outage with cabbagetexter.com etc.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,699 ✭✭✭Brian


    Getting Error: (-1) Invalid login details with Meteor. Maybe something to do with the captcha entry I just saw on their website. Haven't changed my password on either meteor.ie or in cabbage.

    Edit - just tried it a third time, and it worked. Not sure if it was related to me removing ":)" from the body of my message. This is the PC version, not j2me.

    Ah now I'm with you. Other than Random's powermyphone server I'm not sure of any other servers that have working up to date copies

    If anyone has a server running the scripts that they're willing to share post it here and I'll add it. Ta :)


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Home & Garden Moderators Posts: 8,177 Mod ✭✭✭✭Jonathan


    i could give you a ftp login to the /cabbage dir and you could update the server scripts yourself?


  • Registered Users Posts: 813 ✭✭✭CaSCaDe711


    Hi Sam. Another feature suggestion for you, have many contacts in my list, and after choosing who the text is heading to, need to UP all the way to the number field before the SEND option arrives. Could you make SEND appear once a contact has been chosen..?

    You should be able to press the enter key to see the send option rather than the options key no?


  • Registered Users Posts: 813 ✭✭✭CaSCaDe711


    Ooops :) Select the recipient, choose Options, can then select Send.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,234 ✭✭✭Fresh Pots


    Just a small feature suggestion here. Can you add an option in the mobile version of this app to check how many messages you have left. At the moment you have to send a text to find out.

    Hi Sam. Maybe my phone (Nokia 6233), am using v1.7 and the Message Numbers option doesn't appear when enabled. Don't remember if it worked using an earlier version, but can easily work out qty of texts by deducting from 800 anyway :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 21,611 ✭✭✭✭Sam Vimes


    I think you might be misunderstanding the purpose of that option. Nothing shows up in the program but the messages arrive on the recipient's phone numbered.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,234 ✭✭✭Fresh Pots


    Hey Sam,
    Ever thought of setting up something like this? Just an idea as this app is getting ever more popular and so is this thread!

    A phpbb forum?

    If thats what they call it,yes. Imo it would be alot handier for users to find info etc if it was sorted out in a nice little forum. Might not be so many repeat questions also.
