Is there a call minute monitor program available for xda2?

[humayunl]

There are some nice programs to track cell phone usage... however it is surprising that they all completely ignore another important part of cellular usage that affects the bill... SMS...

I havent seen any program that also counts how many SMSs you have sent/received. This is also a major factor because sending/receiving SMSs are not free.

Is there any program that does this as well? or maybe the existing programs ought to include this functionality in them.

I don't know of any software that does this but one way around it would be to save sent messages in your sent folder. All sms folders show the no of messages in there.

You can then empty this each month...

Probably not what you are looking for but it might do till someone writes some software for it.

Hi,

I also installed dkot´s today plugin. Works very nice. Thanks for the work !

Only one minor problem: My month starts on every 22nd (elements -> options). But it seems that the "monthly minute counter" resets to the 1st after each softreset. The 22nd is still shown in the options but on the today screen I see all minutes for the month.

I then go to the options and type in 22 again. After returning to the today screen I get the correct minutes.

I am using "Phone Dashboard Minute Tracker" (find it on Pocketgear)
It is complete, no problems.

@Tekflow,

Phone Dashboard Minute Tracker seems to be a nice program, but it´s commercial ($14,99).

I like the little Freeware App :-)

hi dkot,
thanx for the plugin. nice work, however i found following:
When i click operator name, it will power off my XDA2.
Phone icon is too big.
When i set count 30 seconds, today screen is refreshed in 30 seconds interval. so if i run another program and then close it, i see garbage onscreen till next interval.

thanx

It show you: - operator name - signal strength - today call time ( outgoing only ) - monthly call time - missing call list Finally you can call back directly from this today This software is absolutely free of charge. Regards and have a fun Darek

Excellent !

A very nice, useful piece of software that actually works and does what it says in the tin.

As others have said the only other 'feature' would be an options tab that allows users to set the date their month starts, and maybe reset the call timers.

But as it is, it's fine, and it's one of my must have today plugins !!

Cheers

Marcus: I've already found and corrected problem you wrote about. Now monthly counter works correctly.

Buzz_lightyear:
It was my intention to turn off screen (it is not power off feature) by pressing operator name. I use it to turn off screen when I listen music. I forgot to say about it.
Screen is refreshed every 5 seconds. I know that the best way would be to refresh call counters after every call, but RIL doesn't send any message when call has been finished ( I tried it )
Icon size - I know that, but I'm not an artist and I couldn't find any other icon. If you have better (smaller) icon set, please send them to me and I will change them.

I'm really happy that all of you want to have dktoday on yours mdas. I will try to correct all errors you found and I hope I will show you next version before end of this year.

Thanx
Darek

hey Darek,
i like it very much... I wanted to ask, if it's a bug or feature, but it looked to me as a feature as well... that screen off...

Is it open source? I mean could you provide me with the source? I would like to change some stuff. Mainly face lifting...

Frankly say, I'm not ready for sharing source code with someone else yet. I have to make a lot of change in this software before. It is still in experimental state. Maybe in near future.

Here is my Christmas gift for all of you (see attachment). This is new dll with my today. To install it uncheck my today and simple copy it to windows folder. That is version 1.6. I corrected Marcus's problem, changed options dialog view and moved 'ok' button.
I cannot prepare full cab file because I do it from my pda.

Merry Christmas for all of you from Poland.

Darek

I cannot add attachment using pda!!! How can I do it?
