cabbage for android

If you start typing in the first few letters, the name/number of that person should appear in a drop-down list.

No nothing happens, i can go into recent and see the last ones i put in manually. But nothing happens when i begin a name/number.

Same here.

Hi Baza210,
They are two great ideas.
Ill add them to list of things to do. Just hard finding time to get around to this at the moment.

Hi boc121 and Darksaga87,
What type of phones handsets do you have?
Have you imported your sim contacts to your google contacts?

Im on the Desire. AFAIK, they are all inported.

Is there a way to check? Ive got my Gmail account set up and I have imported all contacts from the sim card.

ryderster

Em Sorry I dont have a Desire so I am not sure exactly how to check if contacts are imported to google contacts.

If they are imported it should work with you.

If you read earlier posts, they explain how to import sim contacts to google contacts on the desire.

Getting quite a few Force Closes in the last day or two.

Hero, Modaco 3.1.

I've noticed when I have Cabbage open, and I get an incoming message, I use Handcent, then I get the force close.

Not every time, but occasionally.

None the less, great app, I've ploughed through my texts this month in 2 weeks, and its really come in handy.

Darksaga87

After messing around for a bit, i got it working, although, now i have like 4 directories of contacts. Dunno what happend there. ah well, I got what I needed from it.

Thanks again for the app.

Great app, just installed it on the Desire, way better than jsms so far. Thanks!

What did you do?
I can only see recent contacts that I added manually

EDIT: btw, absolutely superb app. Kudos to the developer

I gave an explanation on how to solve this. Look for it within this thread...it's there somewhere

Darksaga87

It involved a lot of moving contacts from phone to sim to google contacts.

You need to have a google account set up AFAIK.

yabadabado

its a fantastic app.I have one question ,does it work if im abroad?

Cheers lads, worked a charm

Hi guys,

I hear great things about this app...

However, given I'm very new to Android/Smartphones, I'm clueless. I have a 2 day old Desire, and I've tried to download and install cabbage, but I have just got .jar/.jad files that I cannot open. What do I need to do? Do I need to root it before installing?

Thanks in advance!

Brian

I think you've downloaded the version Sam Vimes made for Nokia phones. To install Cabbage for Android you need to open up the Market application and search for "Cabbage". I believe it's called "Irish Cabbage Lite". Then tap that and install it.

You're a gent, working for me now...

However, all I seem to be able to see is "Recent", "Send SMS", and "Clear", with two fields, one for number and one for message body.

Am I missing something? Is there any functionality for contact import/selection etc? Or am I using a lite version or something? The changelog on the cabbage page mentions updates in these areas for the mobile version.

Thanks again, apologies for the ignorance!

The website you are looking at is a similar app, but runs on java and is not relevant to Android phones. If you hit the menu button you can set up your account (i.e put in mobile number and website password). The app uses your phonebook on the phone so tap the field and start typing a name and it appears.

I still have nothing in the way of drop down or appearing names. I've tried sending a message to my/friend's number by typing the name in the top box exactly as it is spelled in my phone contacts, but no message has delivered?

Have you set up your account? the menu button and then config account. there is no drop down, the top area you can type names in. BUt having said that some people have had issues and have to sync everything with gmail as far as I am aware to get cabbage to recognise the names in phonebook. it seems to be to do with how android deals with numbers and the apps access to the information. this might be your issue re numbers not appearing, but typing in the numbers should send a msg if the account is set up.

Thanks Eoferrall: Yeah, I have linked the app with my mymeteor login, and have sent messages successfully so far, but only when I manually type in the recipient number. It just seems that the receipient field doesn't autocomplete or offer suggestions.

No worries, we are all here to help!:) In that case then I reckon you have the same issue as previous posters, if you have a look at this post by bomber6 it will hopefully help you out, it has helped others afaik.

hi ryderster, again fair play on the app really really good

few issues I am having for your info! using desire.

1. sometimes after sending a message, the sent message gets put in a different sms thread in the internal sms app. I *think* this happens when the following happens:
1) you receive a message
2) reply via cabbage (sent sms saved ok in current thread)
3) receive another message in thread
4) reply via PHONE
5) receive again
6) finally reply with cabbage now saves the sent message in separate thread.

2. recent contacts isn't consistent - some contacts don't save to recent list and the default selected contact in the recent list is never the most recent used.

suggestion if I may - in landscape mode you could have the text boxes width set to fill the screen?

good work man, best app on the market for me!

S.M.B.

Has the functionality to automatically turn on mobile internet/wifi been added? Doesn't seem to work on my Desire.

ryderster

sorry lads,
no updates in last 2 weeks, just been on holidays, so Im going to try get an update done for the weekend.

Cheers for the info on the bugs ye have come across.. I'll do your changes for the landscape mode.

i just got my hero yesterday and am still trying to figure out how to get onto the market. i put in my google account and after waiting for about 2 minutes it just says the system has timed out. what am i doing wrong?

ryderster

_sparkie_

for the apn i just put in '3ireland.com' to pick up the wireless broadband. i am a complete noob when it comes to these things, should i have a different apn setting?

Brian

Do Vodafone UK block the Cabbage server or something? Getting an error when sending texts (Meteor) with the WAP over in London.

Your not trying to text and English number by any chance? I made that mistake when I was over in England recently

The APN should be 3ireland.ie, like this:


Name: 3 ireland
APN: 3ireland.ie
Proxy: None
Port: None
Username: None
Password: None
Server: 3ireland.ie
MMSC: None
MMS proxy: None
MMS port: None
MCC: 272
MNC: 05
APN Type: None

and for mms:

Name: 3mms
APN: 3ireland.ie
Proxy: None
Port: None
Username: None
Password: None
Server: 3ireland.ie
MMSC: http://mms.um.3ireland.ie:10021/mmsc
MMS Proxy: mms.3ireland.ie
MMS Port: 8799
MCC: 272
MNC: 05
APN Type: None

Nope, it was a UK SIM so texts to English numbers were cheap enough already.

Works fine for me on O2 UK with Vodafone Ireland webtexts.

where would i find the mms settings?

also i think the problem is related to my google account more then the internet. my google account is tied to my hotmail account and i dont think google like that very much. maybe its that i need a gmail account to get into the market?

_sparkie_

i got the market working! it took my gmail account but it wouldnt take my hatmail.google account.

cabbage is fantastic!

Sorry
It's all in the same section, you define one APN with the web settings and them another one where you skip to the bottom of the options and fill in the mms info

Is anyone having problems with sending more than 1 txt on cabbage? I'm on the desire with Vodafone.

May already have been answered but I had a quick browse and couldn't find an answer. Thanks

Great app btw

eoferrall

Feature request!:D

Is it possible to put a character counter in? just so you know when going onto 2nd text etc. would be helpful

most used app on my phone, apart from when I run out of webtexts!:( the counter would help this as often I have sent texts only one or two letters over the limit.

TheDoc

Installed last night and ran with minimal effort. Tremendous application fair play.

ryderster

Hi Gargled,

Cabbage Lite only supports one sending one message to one contact... this is being worked on behind the scene and should be a big update quite soon.

Just downloaded this today. Great app. Was previously using JSMS but the signature was annoying me.

Well done ryderster

Have been using Cabbage fine for some time on Meteor but now getting this message...

Info: Invalid response received (tried to parse a page and couldn't find expected text)

Any ideas?

BenG

Hi I'm just wondering if you have a smart phone device. Can you download Android 2.2 onto it and if you do will it work as there is another OS on it? Would I ruin my phone if I do put it on it?
Any suggestions would be great thanks.

Can you log into the meteor website normally?

And it is the android version you're using right?

Unless it's an android phone you can't put android software on it. It's not like a pc where you can put whatever OS you want on it

They have Android 2.2 running on the iPhone, but I'm not sure it has been made publically available...

But don't worry, you can use cabbage on a number of platforms...

Thanks!! I have never heard tell of Cabbage. Explain what it is and what you can do with it. Is it any good? Where can I download it from?
