GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 495271
No custom configuration for phoney backend
Last modified: 2018-05-22 13:03:29 UTC
empathy-0.14-4.fc8 Using the telepathy-phoney backend (see gnome-phone-manager trunk), there's only a text entry. We should have a way to select the device, as in gnome-phone-manager itself. See: http://live.gnome.org/PhoneManager?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=prefs-2.png
You can easily do that by adding your own empathy-account-widget to libempathy-gtk
Sounds like an easy task for new contributors.
phone-manager doesn't seem to provide an external way to list the available phones, where can we get that information to use it in empathy?
phone-manager seems to use a gnomebt chooser widget to select a phone, so using this one would add a dependency on gnomebt for empathy, right? In the theoretical big picture, I guess bt addresses of phones are like accounts so maybe that's MC field?
I'd recommend using something better than gnome-bluetooth's widgets. We're still working upstream on chooser widgets for bluez-gnome, which should remove the need for gnome-bluetooth altogether. bluez-gnome's widgets would only depend on GTK+ and D-Bus.
So it would worth to make this bug depends on http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=495271 ?

oups I meant http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=455838
bug 455838 is only for gnome-phone-manager. There's no opened bugs for bluez-gnome providing those widgets externally. Feel free to file a new one against bluez-gnome.
Depends on resolution of http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=528558, feature request for bluez-gnome to provide the needed widget
AFAIK telepathy-phoney isn't maintained any more. Closing this bug for now.
I'd take patches if it doesn't work as expected...
Yeah but is actually maintained? Or even used?
Maintained, yes, as time allows. Used, I don't know given that it's not usable or configurable without help from empathy's UI bits.
Removing the gnome-love keyword. It doesn't make sense to work on this widget while telepathy-phoney isn't usable with recent versions of Empathy (bug #662012).
