Phonehook is a multi-purpose Sailfish application to enhance phone functionality.

 

Caller Lookup

Information will appear in an overlay on top of the incoming call screen. This information is extracted directly from different online phone number directories.

Call Blocking

You can block unwanted callers by adding them to the block list. You can either pick a contact from your phone or add a number manually. Support for wildcards means you can block calls from a certain country or region. You can also add a source for automatic call blocking. All numbers flagged as spam by this source will be blocked. Since this feature could potentially end up blocking calls you actually want, use with caution! Check your blocked calls history now and then, and if you notice some source blocking calls it shouldn't, please report the issue on gituhub.

Directory Search

With the search functionality, you can search for people or businesses and call them directly from the app. You can also bring up the maps application for the listed address or save the result to your contacts. Some sources requires you to log in before this will give results.

About Sailfish OS Updates

Sailfish OS upgrades recommends uninstalling phonehook before upgrading. If you are running a somewhat recent version of phonehook (0.4.0 and later), this recommendation is no longer relevant. Newer versions of phonehook do not interfer with OS upgrades. Version 0.3.x and earlier modifies the Sailfish homescreen, which may cause issues in some scenarios. 0.4.0+ does not modify the homescreen.

 

Planned Features

  • ✓ Contact creation

Hi, 

 

I tried the french source 'PagesJaunes", but unfortunately, when I tied to click "Install", application crashes and is closed :(.

 

omnight's picture

Hi! Try checking that the daemon is running before installing, it's responsible for creating the database. If that doesn't help, PM me.

Hartzi's picture

Fonecta.fi search doesn't work atm. It always displays "no results".

omnight's picture

Seems they have launched a new design for the site. I updated the scraper to version 3, you can test if that works better.

Hartzi's picture

Yes, it works now very well. Thank you!

Hartzi's picture

Current version breaks the connect to Internet dialog.

omnight's picture

Thanks for noticing this, I will fix it asap. If you need to access the dialog, uninstall + restart seems to do the trick

Update: Found the issue and made a workaround/fix for it. Will test it a bit more before release.

Update 2: Release 0.2.1 should restore functionality (I hope!)

Hartzi's picture

The bug appeared again in the current version.

omnight's picture

Still works for me (didn't change that code in 0.3.0), what Sailfish version are you using?

Hartzi's picture

1.1.2.15

omnight's picture

Alright, I'll install 1.1.2.15 tomorrow and try to work out what's been changed

anasyntes's picture

TACK! Funkar utmärkt. Super-app!

tobru's picture

It would be very nice to have support for http://tel.search.ch/ or http://www.local.ch/ =) Thanks

omnight's picture

Added them both

tobru's picture

Wow! That was fast... Thanks a LOT

I recall a similar program for the N900, which used the eniro services (as they are present in both Denmark, Norway and Sweden). Naturally I am particularly interested in the danish one :o)

omnight's picture

Hi! I've added www.krak.dk which is the provider for eniro.dk

jesseuitto's picture

Fonecta is now updated to version 2, which removes first field that is totally unecessary.

 

FIN:

Fonecta päivittynyt uuteen versioon, joka poistaa ensimmäisen kentän, joka sisälsi jonkin näköisen Fonectan oman tiedotteen.

Can you please give some pointers on how to create scrapers? I'd love to do a couple of Norwegian ones myself.

omnight's picture

The scrapers are using undocumented XML syntax (a C++ port from a .NET project I made earlier), and I don't have anything in place to create custom scrapers at this point. If there are sites you want added I will have a look at integrating them.

sandsmark's picture

what is the current list of supported services/countries? and is the source available anywhere?

omnight's picture

Currently supported countries are Sweden, Finland and Germany but it changes frequently. Check in-app for the updated list.

I plan to make the source available, but I need to get it a bit more organized first. This is actually my first Sailfish app :)

nightmare's picture

can you add a german directory like dasoertliche.de, dastelefonbuch.de or klicktel.de?

omnight's picture

I will definitely check out those sites!

Update: Added klickTel now. I noticed some encoding issues with the other two sites so they will be added later.

nightmare's picture

thx, working fine during test

BobTheBodybuilder's picture

Many Finns would probably like if Fonecta was added. Access to it costs 0.25 euros. But I don't know if you can order the password from outside of Finland.

http://www.fonecta.fi/

omnight's picture

Yeah, I tried to include support for that site in the initial version, but it doesn't seem to be possible for me to register an account there so I would need some help with that.

 

Update:

I got a test login (thanks Jesse!) so it should now be possible to use fonecta with the most recent version of the app. Might be a few bugs left though
