Operator name and cell info in today screen

[zimo]

Hi,
do you know any software, wich will show operator name and other cell info (like credit or location info) in today screen.

I did found PhoneToday (http://www.burroak.on.ca/ptoday.html) it shows operator name, but no other info and it's not free :x

thanks

I made something like you asked.

www.jgui.net/todays/ (http://www.jgui.net/todays)

but this is not working with all devices. XDAII users reported: isn't. Some users or XDAIII reported: ok, some: no. I made and designed it for original XDA. I plan to get newest devices on the beginning of new year and I will improve to fix problems.

Jgui, u can do something better,

1) Operator Logo (u put just one, and users can load anything)
2) Cell Info Local Info and Credit (dunno if possible, I never seen)
3) Power Signal (graphic and in %)
4) Power battery remaining in Standby
5) Power battery remaining in Conversation (doing some sort of calculation (if 100% of power battery = 10h of conversation then 50% of battery = 5h of conversation))

Maybe I said all s**t, but a lot of people wants these.

JGUI, I hope in a little sacrifice, that will be payed.

Best regard,

[JGUI]

there are at least few good today screen's plugins to show up the battery status and condition. why to do it again?

[JGUI]

about telecom logo: I don;t know is it a good idea? there is a so little space on today screen to read all necessary infromation. so I don't waste a space for any not too much important graphics, even don't want icons.

If I preffer and want to review just a list of last phone calls, last messages and only a few following appointments, the space is full.

... but of course I listen, if users want? I will add the image of telecom logo somewhere there. Beside the name?

Hey, I always whished there was a combination between My| Phone and MY | calendar, I love the big font on the time, but I don't really care for the Horoscope, or the population of the earth, if instead of that, it will show the operator, and the signal strentgh, that would be ideal!

[JGUI]

Yorch,

why don't you just hide the zodiac and population lines?

[Yorch]

I know I can do that, but I hide it and is just empty space, I would like to be in one plugin, the combination of the 2 plugins, the today screen is a very limited space, so every space is precious, I like the fact that the time is big, and also the calendar, but if it had the other readings, like the Operator and the signal strength, would be an excellent "all in one" plugin.

Dunno if u have Battery Pack, on this app there is a gif showing a classic 1.5v battery with a % of charge in it.
it would nice to take it as example.
Telecom Logo that is full or empty with % of signal

take a look

http://www.omegaone.com/images/bpp/BppO_Ani.gif

they should be 2 of them, one with GSM signal and another without GSM signal.
Colored when signal is present and Black&White when signal is off, or when xda is in flight mode.

Power signal in % is ok, but graphically would better

Cell Broadcast with Local Info (eg. Roma, Firenze)
dunno if is possible to do, it would be great

Yes, there are too many today apps that show battery status, but they dont say battery status of minutes of conversations

If I can help, I can translate in italian (I did it on last version of My|Phone but I worked hard on .dll)

ps.
Hey, what the hell is that skin ? I like it ! =)


We Hope in you :))

My msn contact is
franckotagada@msn.com
if u want, we could talk

[JGUI]

it's not a skin, the above are screenshots from my new upcoming replacement of the deault Phone program, it gives you the personalized anwering machine and caller/sender localization on the map. incl. text-to-speech engine inside to read you alerts how many missed calls you have every 5 minutes for example to remind you.

Hey JGUI

To tell the truth I've tried ALL programs I could find both as a phone replacement and a Today plugin. I didn't find one which I could say was worth staying with. They were all either imatured (didn't feel polished and stable) or they were laking other functions that other had, I mean there was no one complete solution I could stay with. Finally, for the phone app I decided to stay with the Interllidiale on my PDA2K as a phone replacement and Pocket Zen Phone as the profile manager.

I'm a CTO, my speciality is Web applications and human engineering/interface design. If you ever want some tips to make the ultimate today plugin or phone app drop me a line.

Just a quicky: I fantasize of a Today Plugin that would work like Pocket Zen Phone, but will also include missed calls, cellular provider, last call, new emails, new sms. That will also remind me of missed calls and SMS every X minutes. A one decent phone app that once and for all will include ring tones for categories and individuals (MTU RingX doesn't always work) and that will also include caller photos and that would maybe integrate with PI or Agenda Fusion. I hate associate a picture in 3 different apps: Pocket Informant, Caller Photos(the internal IA-styler of the XDA) and another app. seems silly. The ability to say the caller name in a senthesized voice would be excellent. Maybe the caller name in synthesized voice then a ring and then the voice again.
That's just what comes to mind, but I can probably write several pages on this issue, I feel 5% of the ability of my PDA2K as a phone is actually used.

merci Sorci,
very interest point of view.

I can only say, that the new version of Phone Profiles will have the caller/sender id photos and sounds in the new way of organize incl. groups from Contacts (and all numbers are connected to names in Contacts).

when new phone call is incoming, the PP will do:
1. check if the number of caller/sender has the compatible name of photo image or sound file (inside the specified folder, incl. storage card) - if found it will be displayed/played, but if not:
2. check if the number of caller/sender has the group name from your Contacts, if it has it checks if the group name has the compatible name of photo image or sound file (as above) - if found it will be used, but if not:
3. check if inside the above folder you have default photo and sound file for "unknown" number, if found it will be used, if not:
4. display the default photo and play the default sound

are the above descriptions a definitively useful organization for id photo and sound? I written caller/sender because it works for phone calls, sms, email messages the same way. I re-write the part of this feature, it recognizes caller number much more faster and much more faster looks through folder to find the image or sound file. of course I have tens numbers in my Contact, I'm afraid that for someone who uses hundreds numbers we cannot display id photo conveniently.

int the same way as I written above, the history log runs now: it sorts phone calls by groups, numbers, times, types.

in the same way as I written above, the answering machine runs: I can write a few different announces and specify which one to use with selected number or group from my Contacts. even more, it can sort left messages by groups numbers etc.

next: do we want a TTS engine to speak up the name of caller/sender? always? I'm not sure, because I can image that in the most cases I don't want that somebody near me will listen who call me. maybe I think wrong? The basic feature of TTS engine will be to announce me (remind) about missed phone calls and received messages. And do that permanently every 3,5,10,15 minutes until I touch the screen.

but: if we put more features we should expect more difficulties and dependiences> for example: I make Phone Profiles to easy and quick change all rings sounds and alerts.... when I go inside the cinema. but if I have the above spoken reminder of missed calls/messages I have to include such a function to Phone Profiles too. because I dont want to hear spoken reminder when I'm in the cinema.

I dunno, why you said, that it doesnt work on XDA II
but IT'S WORKING :lol:
XDA II, Wm2k3 SE (ROM 2.06, Radio 1.18 ).

Nice thing, i'm very happy about that, just one thing would be nice. Those additional cell info.

Thanks, you helped me much.

[JGUI]

I'm glad to hear it works on XDAII. I rather soundl said: some users of XDAII reported: it does not run, some others said: it works.

:D

[mephistodan]

It did run on myy xda II (i-mate 1.72 rom)
but only after 10 seconds my device did a soft-reset
after 10 seconds another soft-reset..
and the loop didn't end
so i could hardly uninstall it..

[lbhi]

MS VoiceCommand 1.5 does this.
You need to modify your ring to allow 1.75 seconds in front so the caller name (voice) doesn't speak over the ring itself.

I can't take credit for this, someone else in the forum made the change, but it works great.

myphonecalls works with my O2 XDA IIs with no problems so far (little over an hour) if you like I can report back in a day or two with an update. So far I am impressed this is exactly what I am looking for!!!!!

Thank you

:D

Is this app (I mean the callendar screen) compatible with Pocket informant or just with the original PPC callendar?

Primoz

[JGUI]

this is just a monthly calendar display, no connection to outlook or another calendar's like (PIM) applications. it is not showing any appointments or event, just the preview of one month.

by the way, the ccurent version allows you to preview the new upcoming calendar format, proposed by "calendar reform"

Thx for the informations!...it could be installed on the SD card or strictly on the phone/pda memory?
