Installed this today and working flawlessly in seconds (was on 3 before and switched to vodafone), with the vodafone webtexts being international now it's saving me a fortune! I'd send quite a few every day and it really ate through the credit, just wanted to say thanks for a fantastic little app.

I'm on meteor and I can't get cabbage working on my mobile, it gives me the error "unable to connect to server". I have tried changing the server to the powermyphone address but it still didn't work.

What phone do you have and can other applications access the internet?

What happens when you press options->check for updates?

I'vve been getting "could not connect to network site" for a few days now.
I'm with meteor using cabbage 1.6.2

nothing has been changed in settingd but it just stopped working.
I went to meteor.ie on the pc and after logging in it asked me for additional security info (copy digits into a box). could this be the reason?

boardswalker · 11-10-2009 5:21pm

Is there a problem with the vodafone webtext.

This was working fine for me until recently. Now I keep getting error messages.
I am using v 1.95.2.
error -8 precheck invalid response

I have gone into the vodafone webtext page and that works fine.

Edit: just checked developers website and see that there's an update to work with new vodafone site.

Hi Sam, used cabbage for ages, even donated once. grand programme, BUT....

...since I upgraded this morning it just won't work any more.

...even before the upgrade, it had gone REALLY slow - taking maybe 4-5 times longer so I was getting fed up with it and hardly ever using it any more. It would still say "sending" when someone had already replied to the text - odd!

N95 8G on O2 here.

KatCookie · 11-10-2009 6:20pm

Twice today when i've texted from it, (On Vodafone btw) its taken about 160 seconds to send them its says error -152 Unknown error or a similar number.. But it still sends as i've gotten replies, its not an issue for me if they are still sending, just thought i'd let you know Sam!

The answer is yes, Jarvis, log on to the site using the additional security & then log off again. You should then be able to log back in WITHOUT getting the additional security ... if you can, then Cabbage will work again ...

o2 user

Sent a text today

Checked o2 sent texts report to cofirm it was sent.

Cabbage froze and I had to control alt delete to get it off the screen

Repeated it just now, and got the same frozen screen.

I love Cabbage. I hate limiting myself to short texts using my phone.

Done the additional security stuff and it worked again, however, a couple of hours later, the error happened again, so I logged on once more and did the additional security stuff a second time. Cabbage worked again after that. But will this keep hapening, because if it does it will basically render cabbage useless for me!

Is this the end???????:(

kaimera · 11-10-2009 7:52pm

Not working at all today for me on o2.

v1.96.1 desktop.

o2 site is up

Sherifu · 11-10-2009 9:15pm

o2 site is up but can't send webtexts, it's an o2 problem i'd wager.

CaSCaDe711 · 12-10-2009 8:59am

Since yesterday can logon to O2's site, but unable to send texts from there, so Cabbage wont work either. Frustrating how frequent that site is acting up.

As Sherifu and CaSCaDe711 say, it looks like a problem with the O2 site. I tried to download the delivery reports myself and after about 2 minutes I got a "Download of the specified resource has failed" error and I get this when I try to go into the web text area:

Service is currently unavailable

Sorry, the service you are trying to access is currently unavailable.
We are working to restore normal service as soon as possible. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Please try again later.

Give it a while and see if the O2 site starts working properly again

No it's not the end

I thought I'd fixed that problem but it looks like it's still an issue. I'll take a look at it and post back here if and when I find a solution.

Is this desktop or mobile and are you using the latest version?
for desktop: http://cabbagetexter.com/Cabbage_Setup_1.96.1.exe
for mobile: http://cabbagetexter.com/dl1.73 (enter that addres on your phone)

The vodafone site has been having issues the past few days since they upgraded so it might have had something to do with that

Thirdfox · 12-10-2009 10:29am

Been a user of cabbage for some time now - recently switched from Meteor to Vodafone - I was wondering, if I use cabbage to send a webtext from my phone does that mean I'll be charged 99c? (And be able to send 50mb of text messages?) Or does Vodafone have a per kb charge like Meteor that changes into the 50mb once you hit the 99c mark?

Regards

Vodafone's plan is the same as meteor's, 2c per KB up to 99c/50KB and then the flat rate up to 50MB

Using Vodafone, I'm getting error (-8) Precheck invalid response for about the past 2-3 weeks. Cabbage returns this error every time. Anyone else ?

Is this still happening? Is it permanently not working or on and off?

It looks like O2 have blocked access to my website and powermyphone.com but maybe it's something else. Can anyone provide a server running the cabbage scripts for Captain Morgan to test?

They've also blocked my website from accessing the O2 website to send the messages but I found away around that

niceirishfella · 15-10-2009 3:01pm

I'm having hassles........sorry.

I've removed the old version I had, and loaded up the newest you posted earlier Sam.
Did'nt work for me.
I then tried the new server you mentioned ; http://powermyphone.com/cabbage/send.php

but no messages are sending - getting this - Error: (-8) Precheck:Invalid Response

Any suggestions?

Using Vodfone btw as service provider.

Thanks,

NIF

Is it V1.96.1 that you have installed?

when you click more->configuration make sure "send messages via intermediate server" is unticked. Once you do this the server you have selected makes no difference btw because it's not being used.

Can you log into the vodafone site as normal?

What happens when you click more->extras->get number of messages left
and more->extras->Check for updates?

dnme · 15-10-2009 10:33pm

Cabbage 1.96.1 telling me I have 591 messages left. Is this correct ? I'm using Vodafone
