i keep getting in the log error fetching dropbox folder metadata, errorCode: 406

Please help.. I got the mytouch 4g and the new samsung galaxy tab 10.1
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
cruse, 404 means path does not exist. Make sure u have sms_inbox and sms_outbox folders in the top level of your account, same level as public and private folders

As for the 406, update to v0.6.6
[Xoom Themes and Apps] xSunny:
So how can i get this working at the moment delete files from dropbox directly?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
latest release should fix problems for those of your getting 406 errors

v0.6.6

- Fix bug retrieving sms from dropbox when there are more than 100 on there
[Xoom Themes and Apps] crusecontrl:
Yep they are there.....I deleted everything in them, but still no joy.....could push be messing with it?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ALIASgirl23:
I emailed you the log.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
Push and interval polling both trigger same sync. The issue is the 404 error code when asking dropbox for the list of files because it is saying that the path does not exist. Can you please email me those errors above with your xda user name so we can take this discussion offline? Thanks
[Xoom Themes and Apps] BartJJ:
May I ask why exactly you aren't going to add Bluetooth support in the future? It would probably consume less battery and have fewer issues syncing. And I wouldn't need to have an internet connection on my tablet to get messages on it =P. I could understand wanting to get the normal syncing working right first as for me I still have a lot of messages disappearing and duplicates being sent but it seems strange to just blatantly say no to a feature that could do nothing but add to the value of an app.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] xSunny:
the app is working fine now but my text are showing up as incoming and outgoing from the same people in two different threads
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kevdog:
im getting a lot of errors fetching metadata for SMS inbox. I can include a log if you want. The resultant is that I'm getting a lot of messages listed as duplicateswhen they are not.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] s.morris:
Sorry its not working for me,

Installed the latest software on both phone and pad, setup push as discribed in the first post, and nothing at all, text received by phone are not being past to the pad, Everthing prior to this work ok.

you mentioned setting the sync to 1 to 4 hours, presume this is where you set the sync up before ?

Log sent via e-mail from steve morris

Thanks
[Xoom Themes and Apps] The-Kevster:
at the moment push is only used for tab to phone messages.

This is working really well and I'm looking forward to being able to turn off scheduled sync.

Great work!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] s.morris:
Well scratch that, some how, but not sure why thing seem to be working perfect now, got my phone and pad to sync at 4 hours and when I send my self a text they are coming to the pad straight away.

Not sure what happen but I have not touch anything :confused: :eek: other that setting it up earlyer, But needless to say its now working :D

Also the change number thing works great

Thanks d0lph1nK1ng for another great update

########

Ok An update tried again this morning and things seem to have stopped working again, having to hit the refresh button after sendding in order to get it to do anything

update 2

well after a bit of kicking and screaming :) it seem to be working again, but not perfect, text are a bit slower than last night, Could this be due to the Drop Box syncing ?

Steve
[Xoom Themes and Apps] juDGEY2k10:
How you getting push? What you have to do to get it ?

[Xoom Themes and Apps] Xephik:
Why Bluetooth? The tablet has to connect to the internet anyways to upload to dropbox. Lets say you're phone is tethering. It all drain both devices needlessly.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] georg.madler:
Hi!

First I'd like to say hat this is the most used and usefull app on my Xoom, even with the little problems I am having...

Problems hat I am having now:

* after some time messages written on the tablet don't get uploaded to dropbox, the window "Sending SMS" does not get closed and after some time the status of this message changes from "composed" to "error". Rebooting the Xoom solves this problem for some time.

* "Send log to developer" does not work anymore. I can select the button from the menu when viewing the log but then nothing happens (this used to launch mail with the log inserted)...

Greets,

Georg
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
bluetooth radio uses lots of power. when push is fully working, it will be the optimal way to go. there are also more possible imcompatibilities with bluetooth pairings and using internet is more universal.

duplicates have been minimized, but i am still looking into the root cause.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
the phone numbers are probably slightly different. you can long press on the conversation thread on the left side and choose edit number to merge the conversations together
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
make sure you are on the latest version on both devices (v0.6.6). if you are, then send the both logs to me and include ur xda username and the approximate time the message appeared
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
if push isn't working for you, then revert back to normal polling. i am not individually debugging people's push issues at this time. thanks for the notice that it isn't working though. i am already looking into a few issues with push that will likely solve your issues
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
push is used to send from phone to tablet and tablet to phone. there are some issues with it though that i will post in the original thread under known issues
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
the issue is likely due to android devices not waking up from sleep when they get a push notification. i am working on resolving this issue for push. as mentioned before, reverting to normal polling should work fine. enjoy!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
Georg, I am looking into both of these issues. Hopefully they will be resolved in the next update. Sorry for the inconvenience
[Xoom Themes and Apps] gbenj:
Something that I didnt know was possible that would be nice to see here is the ability to mark the messages on the phone as "read" once you've interacted with them on the tablet.

Texty, another app that has been mentioned here before just enabled this for their chrome notifications. (Click "close" or "reply" and the message appears as "read" on the phone.) Apparently theres no way to clear notifications, but thats a separate issue as far as I'm concerned.

Just wanted to suggest another feature for the backlog but one that I think would be a nice addition here.

Heres the description from their latest release notes.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
thanks for the suggestion, it has been added
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rdtshaw:
Hey there! Push is working wonderfully on Sammy galaxy tab and incredible. Great work!

Cheers,

Rob
[Xoom Themes and Apps] zehkaiser:
I've noticed that with a USB keyboard you can't hit the Enter key to submit the text. You have to hit tab, enter, then shift+tab to return to the box after it's sent. Any way a different text box type would fix this?

Also, is there any word on removing the screen dim and lock out when sending the message?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
you can change your settings, there is an option to make Enter act as Send SMS. the removing of screen dim and modal popup is high on the todo list.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] zehkaiser:
*Facepalm* Thanks...
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Darkstriker:
I'm so glad there is finally an app for this.

I should get my second phone today and hope to be able to report back soon :)

PS: Please keep the API level of 2.1+. I Don't think my Vodafone 845 would be able to handle 2.2 much less 2.3 ;-)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Smokexz:
Okay so I have to have both my Nexus and Xoom installed with this app, it worked too.... suggestion, could you group the text messages to make it as if it were a thread SMS experience? That would make it a little less awkward to use. Over all, thank you.... been waiting for something like this
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
no worries, a threaded UI is very close to being released =]
[Xoom Themes and Apps] AndyMan386:
thanks d0lph1nK1ng..

will we need to redownload the apk each time from here or will their be another method to update?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
unfortnuately re-d/l the APK is the only method until it becomes a little more stable. i would rather spend time on core functionality than update methods
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
Attached v0.2.5 with threaded view and long-press options
[Xoom Themes and Apps] gbenj:
Just wanted to update that I have had some issues today where I had to forcibly restart the service on both the xoom and the phone.

Again, using an incredible with CM7 RC3 on the phone, and xoom is stock unrooted.

Obviously this app is very nascent so I expected some bumps along the way.

Hopefully as this thing progresses it gets more reliable. Maybe some way for the user to see if the service is running or not, or see messages in an "outbox" until they actually send?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
the outbox thing might be tricky, i'll see what i can do though. the service status check is very doable. i have been having some FC issues, too. i think on boot the service is not starting properly. appreciate the understanding of the alpha/beta status of this app :-)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] gbenj:
Yeah, i definitely get the FC on boot on my phone, i just went in and started the service just to be safe after i saw it.

The text files the app creates in dropbox are deleted once the message is sent, right? If so, then could the outbox just draw its information from there? If the phone side app hasnt removed the text file from the dropbox folder, then it probably hasnt sent? Just a thought.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] wjfelibert:
great work

Brand new wifi xoom and evo. Love this thing. Get push option and try using gmail integration and definitely agree with widget option. You will have a homerun. Push to market and put donate version. Make amazing overhaul for tablet ui. Need some real honeycomb apps to help kill I pad. Very good work. Instant push very necessary.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jland22:
Nevermind original.

My mistake. I am going to try this out tonight! This sounds awesome.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
this is the apps/themes section =]
[Xoom Themes and Apps] davenukem:
Great idea dolphin... but I really think you need to strongly consider how important push notifications will be.

Just out of curiosity, is have seen many routes for creating an application of this kind but is it not possible to pair tablet and phone through bluetooth, create a phone side and tablet application, and have them talk through bluetooth?

Are the system permissions not there? This is a great thing here, only concern will be the delay in texts.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] 2JZ GZE:
has anyone tried doing a battery loss test polling the sync intervals at 1 minute all the way to 60? Preferably at different increments?

I would, but I am so busy working on my Xoom that I don't have time to do that.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
at 5min i have not seen sync sms appear on the list of apps holding a wake lock in Spare Parts or appear in native android 2.3 list of apps using battery. i checked after using it from 8am to 11pm.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
EDIT 4/2:

- Attached picture of new layout I'm beginning to work on
[Xoom Themes and Apps] bishop72:
What are the instructions to install this?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] 2JZ GZE:
Install the app on your phone and xoom. Make sure you sign up for a dropbox account. After install set the sync interval on both devices and whenever you receive a text, it will appear on your xoom
[Xoom Themes and Apps] phoenix2088:
This is very promising software! I'm having an issue where incoming texts are not syncing with Dropbox. However, texts sent via the Xoom are going through. Any ideas on why this might occur?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] StrifeSoldierVII:
Pretty awesome! Maybe add 15 and 30 seconds to the interval sync time list? I don't think the Xoom will have a problem with battery life if it syncs every 15 or 30 seconds if you tell it to do so. I think that would be better to be able to respond almost right away to when you receive a text rather than a minute later. Even though one minute is not long... it may seem like a long time to the person that is waiting for you to text back.

Texts are supposed to be instant, and 15 seconds is pretty instant when syncing between phone and tablet. Or would that mean the phone also has to be set to 15 seconds sync time as well? I'm guessing it will to upload to dropbox servers. My two cents. :)

Looking forward to the nice new UI.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] 2JZ GZE:
Anyone else notice the times listed on the threaded chat are incorrect? Also all the messages I send are on the top while the other persons text messages are on the bottom.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
shouldn't be a problem =]
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
I see lots of separate threads on this forum regarding sending/receiving/syncing texts from phone. If you don't mind, could you please click "Submit to Portal" in the on the far right in the brown title bar with the thread title?

[Xoom Themes and Apps] s.morris:
when I first send a text from my pad, after the texting has been inactive some some time, I allways get a problem with the first text, But when it sorts itself out text sent after that seem to go normally, if you can call it that :confused: Mesages sent from my pad seem to display uploaded all the time, is this normal.

could my problem be somthing to do with the network ?

logs where sent to Dev from steve morris

Issues logging in

So I noticed my tablet was not syncing so I reinstalled the application but I cannot log in I get an error that says:

Network error: com.dropbox.client.DropboxException: HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden

I have attempted:

- To use a different ISP

- Use a different account

- Factory reset my device

Things to note:

- I can login to dropbox on tablet's browser

- Phone can login to account no problem using sync sms

Devices:

- HTC Desire Z - running MIUI US 1.6.10

- Galaxy Tab - running Overcome 2.0 Hermes
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
steve, i replied via email, lets move the discussion offline

moadda, i saw this one other time, let me try to dig up what the resolution was
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
moadda, here is what the other person told me when they figured it out:

"Ok I figured it out the error was not in your app but in dropbox itself. The time and date strings for each device have to be synced to log into dropbox effectively. This is why I could log in on my phone but not on my tablet your devices must share the same time/date and because my tablet didn't automatically update like my phone the time/date was off. Thanks for your quick responses and great app. Hopefully this will help if anyone else has these issues."

let me know if you need me to find more information
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Darkstriker:
Well, unfortunately DHL in Holland seems to be somewhat slow so i didnt get my 845 today.

However, I have been meaning to make a suggestion (but it may be completely superfluous since i cannot test the app yet).

When you integrate phone to phone sync, could you possibly inject the SMS into the default SMS handler the way SMS Backup+ (and similar apps) do it? You may even be able to reuse their code for the injection (SMS Backup+ is open source Edit: see here)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
i wasn't sure if the tablet's still had the same sms content provider, but i suppose after all that there is likely no reason that there isn't. i will see what i can do here. i've added it to the list
[Xoom Themes and Apps] moadda:
Wow very fast reply, thanks that fixed it.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] moadda:
Some UI Suggestions

On my 7" galaxy tab the left column with list of contacts seems a bit wide in portrait. Would it be possible give an toggle option like an arrow on the top or side, which would hide and show the left side.

Also, in portrait to have the font size in the contact column become smaller and have it lined up with the left screen instead of display picture.

Thanks
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Darkstriker:
Appreciated. This way i can leave my 845 at home (once i get it) and still receive SMS from Portugal :D

Will spare me having to run around with 2 phones all the time. And besides i can't afford 2 SGSII's :P

Will buy your app as soon as i get my 845 (hopefully tomorrow)

Edit: I always wondered why nobody else has done this before. especially with the advent of android tablets (and now things like the Galaxy S Wifi) this is so absolutely necessary.

Edit2: If you manage to integrate push-notifications successfully, is there any chance you could also sync the read-status (shouldn't take that much more work)? I realize this may seem superfluous but it would be a nice touch once other things are finished ;-)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
I would love to sync read/unread states as well, but unfortunately I need to balance resources as well. I only have a specific number of push notifications allotted to me by Google. Also, it is extremely hard to predict how many SMS people send per day plus the app is growing more and more each day. So, this may not be feasible
[Xoom Themes and Apps] juDGEY2k10:
d0lph1nK1ng would u never think about making a mod for teh tablet so u can text direct from the tablets number rather than the phone?

I hope u understand wot i mean

[Xoom Themes and Apps] Darkstriker:
Well i have no knowledge of the way Google distributes/allows push notifications. Maybe you could use peoples gmail accounts for that. As long as they have sync on you could send mails to their inbox and then have those retreived when gmail gives the push update (that way you dont have to use your own resources and people would get the added advantage of being able to also read when new texts come while they're on their PCs). After that you can just wipe the mails and there is no harm done.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] moadda:
I wrote a message earlier giving suggestion to hide the left pane but it seems it was in your toggle list.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
there is no GMail API =] the best u can do is prefill the message but would requrie user to hit send each time
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Darkstriker:
Well I just installed the app on my phone and it seems i have already found my first problem. When i check "enable push notifications" the Login option doesn't become available.

Let me know if you need any more info.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] cc16177:
Did you click "Version" like 8-10 times? That's what I had to do.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Darkstriker:
I think that is where the issue lies. I don't have to click it at all.

PS: It works fine on my SGS II (running 2.3.3) but it doesnt seem to want to work on my Vodafone 845 (running 2.1-u2)

Yeah, yeah. Push notifications require Android 2.2.

Haven't had any incoming texts anymore but upgraded the V845 to CM6.2. Should work now...
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Darkstriker:
@dolphin: Any chance you would be up for some live debugging via IRC for the phone to phone sync?

Edit: I was reading trough the debug log. What seems to be missing is the check for SMS that are in sms_inbox but arent in the SMS handler (or the app itself for that matter).

So for now phone to phone sync doesnt seem to do anything.

Nevermind. I'm not sure what's wrong with my reading today :PPP
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
Dark, are u good with everything now?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] zehkaiser:
I'm having some trouble getting the push notifications to work correctly. I've enabled it on my DX running CM7, as well as my Xoom. No dice. It worked for about 20 minutes quite a few update ago, but since then it hasn't.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Darkstriker:
With the V845 on CM6.2 push notification seems to work without problems for me.

Just the tablet interface is a bit, well, not well suited for my Galaxy S II ;-)

But yeah it work for now.

I seem to be getting a recurring error on the syncing phone though:
[Xoom Themes and Apps] s.morris:
Hi

Why does it take so long to update my phone when i send a text from the pad ?

sent a text from my pad and it seem to take maybe 5 mins before the mesage appears on the phone :eek:

This only seem to happen with the first text after that thing speed up a bit

Honeycomb is on the pad could that be reason why its flaky for me, If I uninstall will i be able to install again from the market?

Steve
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
I am currently not supporting push officially. Your trouble is likely due to Google's push implementation. I am researching it further.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Darkstriker:
I'm not sure how difficult this would be but what I noticed with you app (several others have it too) is that the main activity gets launched over and over again if you enter the app via the notification and then when you want to properly close it with the back button you will be returned to the inbox (or messages list) a lot of times before you actually end the app. It isn't harmful but it is somewhat of an annoyance (so feel free to give this a low priority)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
Thanks I will add this to the list
