tmartin31,

I have no idea why signal strength is still 0 on your phone. I'm going to check once more how it works and what can cause this problem.

Microsoft probably know better then I how it works, that is why their product works correct :)

I'm going to allow user to select what should be displayed but I still don't have a time to make it. Maybe in a future....

Markimark,

I removed BT icon, but I can add it back if you want :).

I don't like this feature because to monitor BT state, I have to test bt state very often and it takes processor power.

Regards,

Darek

Signal strength optional?

I know a lot of folks use skins, etc and need the network, signal strength, etc indicators. Could you add options to show/hide those in the settings?

My CDMA phone shows 0% (same as an earlier person's post) but I am only interested in having that whole line go away as I use the SE default today screen with a theme.

*edit* I see you addressed this in your latest post. Please take this as another "vote" for the option to enable/disable parts of your wonderful app!

Thanks!

I've spent a lot of time to find why dktoday refreshes screen wrong and I hadn't found it since I found your post. I've corrected dktoday according your suggestion and it works for me !!!! Many thanks

DK Today on Qtek S100

I tried to install that application on my Qtek S100, and it works fine as today plug-in. But the Bluetooth switcher doesn't work. It switches on the bluetooth but it is impossible to answer with my wireless headset ( it rings but is not possible to answer by pressing the button ).

Then when I make a call the headset is not enabled.

I tried to hard reset the PDA and install DK Today only ( so the device was clear ). Same problem.

My bluetooth headset is a Logitech Mobile Freedom.

Thanks.

Hi

Just installed the plugin, and i have to say its very good indeed :)

Although when i first installed it, i couldnt see any other plugin on the today screen , signal strengh was displaying wrongly and operator name wasnt displaying, but after a soft reset it was all sorted.

Great work Dkot , and if you ever are releasing the source code for this i would be very interested in seeing it.

Posssible Provision for handling of free minutes time slots?

Dear Darek,

Thanks for a cool and useful program. I just posted a new topic asking if any call tracking software is available and DocteurN responded within an hour linking me to this message thread.

I have a request for an added feature but it might be asking too much. My US based provider provides free evening and weekend minutes. Would it be possible for you to provide user defined fields providing for which timeslots allow for free minutes and then either:

1. Display totals of just the Billable minutes we have to pay for or

2. Display 2 running totals, 1 total for "billable" and and 1 total for "free" minutes?

I am an ex-programmer so I realize i am asking for alot here but figured I would put it out there. I did not have time to read through all 9 pages of this thread so realize that this request might have already been requested.

Also, my XDA II running pocket PC 2003 2nd edition is showing 0 for SMS totals even though I have sent quite a few today,

Thanks,

Danny

Hi Darek,

I have been using your program since the beginning and I find it very usefull. Thanks for your efforts! I do have the following problem however: after installing the latest version (1.76), my outgoing sms is counted twice. As soon as the delivery notification pops up, my sms counter adds 2 messages instead of 1. Of course I can just halve the message amount stated by DKToday, but I wonder if you could correct this issue. I am using a Compact, previous versions worked fine. Don'tknow what's changed in your app that could cause this? Are there more people with the same problem out there?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] dkot:
Koksie,

I've found the same problem on my mda compact. I will try to find this bug.

I there anybody else who has found it ?

Thanks,

Darek
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Danny-B-:
Im using the latest version and it has never counted SMS at all, only noticed it the other day.

Call counter works fine though.

I mainly use the software for showing me the signal strengh as my signal is usually very poor :(

not sure if this is another bug but ... when my signal drops (which it does often) the signal bar indicates that i am still reciving a signal, i think it just doesnt refresh what the last reported signal was.

Hi Darek!

Hi Darek,

Have read through the thread, your work here fantastic. I just got an Imate Jam and will be installing DKToday but was wondering, are you considering an option to show the current cell you are located in? I've searched and searched and can't find anything apart from the rather annoying SMS that you can turn on Cell Broadcast Channel 050. If there was anyway you could add the current cell you are in to your fantastic program would be great (and I'm sure you'd be the hero of everyone!)

Thanks!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Koksie:
You can also try Cell Profiler, that gives a pop-up once you enter another cell and you can enable phone profiles for for instance your home or work cells. Furthermore you can execute apps as soon as you enter a cell. Pro version is quite expensive, I think 20 US$ or so, basic version is free, but has somewhat limited functionality. The developer is active on XDA DEV, so use the search option here and search for Cell Profiler. But I would also love to have the option in DKToday, since extra functionality is always great!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] dkot:
mitty,

I'm just working on it. Cell will be displayed soon.

How do you think, should I remove SMS with cell information after processing it or not ?

Darek
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] mitty:
Hi Darek,

Thanks for the speedy response! Yep, I'd say get rid of the SMS with the cell display info, just so it appears in your plugin instead.

Already loaded up the latest version and it works fine on my JAM. Will keep an eye on your thread for updates.

Thanks again!!! :)

I want to report about a couple of problems with DKToday_V1.76_WM2003 last version:

1. Why don't you back BT icon ?

2. it seems to drain battery

P.S.

A suggestion: why don't you allow to select what to display on today? IE only Network and signal...

..and a question: how can I delate missed call list?

I'm using it with QtekS100 ROM 1.06 ITA WM2003SE

Hi,

First of all DKToday is a great utility and I'm eagar to have the next release

:lol:

I'm a bit of overstrain about the real estate in the today screen, and in my personal taste DKToday uses more than it needs to. Since I'm no PPC programmer I had use Photoshop to mock the screen.

Compare to the original DKToday here:

which:

1) It uses 3 lines

2) The network operator's name got truncated (CHINA MOBILE)

3) A bit too many of texts :twisted:

So, here is the mocked one:

1) Reduced to 2 lines

2) Since I already got a singal strenght bar in the title bar, I think the singal bar in DKToday is a bit redundant unless it provide more scale. So I removed it here as well. The percentage of the strength is moved to the bottom of "telephone" icon.

3) Relocate the placements and change some texts to icons, hence more spaces available and cleaner.

Anyway... I hope you will think it useful and incoperate it into the next version. 8) 8)

sorry i am quite new to this type of file.

How do you actually set it up?

I downloaded and unzipped to folder then copied to my storage card but if i click on either icon it says it is not recognised.

DKToday 1.79

Here is a new DKToday

Changes:

1. displaying current cell information. Cell information is displayed after operator name.To get this information from network, you need to turn this feature on according to mitty's post

2. wildcards on free calls list. Use sign "-" as wildcard. For example, when you enter number 0800- on free calls list, then all numbers started by 0800........ will be treated as free of charge calls

3. added back BT turn on/off feature

4. long awaited ability to select which information, should be displayed on your today screen. Now, you can select, which line should be displayed on your screen. BT icon belongs to line 3, PHONE ICON belongs to line 2.

5. Because of points 1..4 I had to rearange dktoday view. I hope this new one will be acceptable by you :)

Thanks and regards,

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] mitty:
Hi Darek, yep I deleted dktoday.dll from Windows folder and then reinstalled. Got V 1.79.

I've turned on Cell Broadcast channel 050 again, but it doesn't show on the plugin. I've got the name of my operator, Telstra Mobilenet and a comma after it, but then it's blank. I'm assuming this is where the cell info should appear?

To all those who message me, what you need to do to switch channel 050 on is:

go to settings

phone

more

tick broadcast channels

tap settings

i ticked "receive channel list" though have no idea if this matters.

selected english

clicked new

gave it a name (I just said cell info, i don't think it matters what you call it)

channel number 050.

Normally once you do this, you'll get pop up sms's each time your cell changes. Darek has said he will get this info into the plugin and the sms will no longer appear.

Darek, let me know if you need to do more testing. Is it working for you?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] dkot:
Mitty,

Yes, information about cell is placed after operator name and comma sign, but to show it I have to get cell information from network.

Do you get SMSes with cell information from your network ? DKToday is processing those smses to get and show cell information.

Darek
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] mark.peters:
Darek

Possible problem with latest version, though it might be the Radio Stack version that I'm using ...

The display (1st line) indicates that I have (for example) 55% on the signal strength, yet the operator name appears to randomly display O2 - UK and just a , (comma) - almost as if the network has gone.

You had any other reports yet ?

Cheers

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] mitty:
Hi Darek,

Yep with channel 050 turned on I get pop up SMS's ever now and again with the current cell name. Could it be something to do with the fact that I'm obviously on a different network to you? Is it channel 050 anywhere you go?

Thanks...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Koksie:
Darek, thanks for your quick support and ecellent work, Mitty, thanks for your help in setting the broadcast channel. I had by now figured it out by myself, but received no info in DKToday. At least now I know I have the right settings, although in the broadcast settings, the channel number shows 50 although I put in 050. Nothing visible in DKToday, although I switch the phone on and off. perhaps it will work when I change cells, but I am not able to do so now. later today I will be travelling, so perhaps then I'll see changes. I'll be back sunday, so I'll post my results then.

I still get the SMS popups, and I do note that when this happens that the DkToday plugin on the Today screen does flash slightly as though something's happening, but the cell info still doesn't appear.

Could other plugins be interfering perhaps... I'll remove everything else and see what happens.

For those unsure of if your operator sends out cell broadcast or not, check with a friend who has a Nokia or something like that. Nokia usually has a cell broadcast option which you can turn on and works pretty well.

cell info

I've spent last few days on testing why you don't get cell information in dktoday nevertheless that you get notification in outlook. I found, here in Poland network where this occurs too.

What I found is that Dktoday doesn't report cell infos, because there is no any rill information, that cell has changed. I have no idea how outlook gets this information from network to show it you (directly from gsm modem?).

In normal situation (in my network), when cell has changed I always get specific sms with new cell.

Here nothing like this not happens. I have no idea where to go forward with this...

Darek
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] mitty:
So Just confirming Darek, on your Network you get the pop ups and they are able to be imported and show up in DKtoday, but you have tried on another network and it doesn't work for that network?

I would assume that each network has an individual code of some sort. Perhaps you either need to allow for that code when "scanning" the cell name, or otherwise ignore it completely.

As mentioned above, DKtoday does do something when the cell changes, as the plugin "flickers" on the screen when I get a cell SMS, but for some reason it can't get the information out.

Let us know if there's anything you want any of us to try as obviously we're all eager to get this working if possible.

Thanks again for all your efforts!

1) if i choose option round up 1 min it round up the today calls but not the month calls

just like moonbeam says:

2) when i miss or ignore a call the blutooth stays on and does not get back off and that drains the batterie

is there a way to control the bluetooth thingie

ex: checkbox for enable bluetoth headset oncall activation

it is a great option but it might be better if we were able to disable from time to time

2 - Cell info is still not working. I followed Mitty's instructions but it still doesnt work. Is there anything else I can do?

3 - I have installed the Bluesoleil Bluetooth stack so i am not using the default MS BT stack that came with my PPC. I am rumming WM2003SE. But the BT icon in dktoday doesnt work. It doesnt start my BT. This is i am sure related to the bluesoleil stack.. Any idea how this can be made to work.

thank.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] dkot:
Ad.1. This notification is free of charge

Ad.2. I have no idea, how to solve this problem. In my network everything works fluently, I get special kind of SMS with cell information and this information is showed immediatelly on DKToday's screen. If I didn't get this SMS I would not be able to show cell infos :(. Then only way to get this info is to ask GSM modem directly for cell infos.

Ad.3. BT option works only with M$ BT

I'm going to go on my holiday :) :) :), so please be patient. I will make all needed changes when I will be back ( probably in August).
