I am new here so please be gentle with me!

First of all, thank Darek for this excellent utility -very useful as the o2 XDA II seems to have a call counter that has just run since I bought this and is keeping a very useful total of calls made and received :roll:.

:idea: If this is getting updated (though I note DKot has not responded since August when he said he was switching to another PDA) then there is a slight typo in the settings - "Count incomming call time" should be "Count incoming call time". It would also be useful, if possible, to monitor GPRS use (in minutes and/or KB) to monitor usage.

:?: After I installed DKToday, it has up to date information on calls made (identical to my online bill with o2 - as I am half way through my billing cycle, where has the counter picked this up from?) but it has not picked up SMS information. I manually made the changes required in the registry but the count still has not updated (sent a few texts to test it but still shows 000). Am I missing something please?

:arrow: In response to the question above by thegeezer, to install:

1. Make sure that your computer is linked to your XDA (I use Activesync and a cable to USB).

2. Log in to this site and go to the message above by Othello and save CAB (installation version) 1.80 to your computer (DKToday-1.80.ARMV4.CAB - http://xdaforums.com/download.php?id=9224). If you have winzip installed on your computer, it shows as the same icon - DO NOT UNZIP.

3. Using Windows Explorer, copy the file DKToday-1.80.ARMV4.CAB and paste it into Mobile Device>My Documents.

4. On your Xda, go into Start>Programs>File Explorer>My Documents and double click on DKToday-1.80.ARMV4.CAB. This will install the program.

5. Soft reset your Xda (using your Xda pen, click on the button on the bottom left of the Xda - it is the very small black circle).

:D Voila - it should now be showing on your Today screen.

:!: To change settings: Start>Settings>Today>Items> click on DKToday then Options. Here you can change rounding up, what month start date you want etc.

Final point - on the Today screen, if you click on the network name it switches the Xda off (I found it is meant to do that after reading through all 14 pages!).

If you need to edit your registry as some mention on this thread (something to do with counting SMSs), Mobile Registry Editor seems to do the trick (works on your home computer to make changes on the XDA). Available free from http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1399.

Good luck

DKToday is really nice, however I have some problems on my Tmobile MDA Vario (qtek 9100, with WM5.0):

If I have been connected to my PC for a while throught ActiveSync over USB and I disconnect it. Everything on my PDA/Phone starts to be slow. Image refresh is really slow and battery is being drained. If I then go to the Today settings and disable DKToday everything is fine again. Even if I reenalbe it everything stays fine.

I am I the only one? And is there a solution?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] victoradjei:
Which version did you install? The cab file 1.80 posted above, or one from Darek that you have to do the 1.8 manually?

Victor
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] GroteBozewolf:
I used the one from Darek in which I had to copy the DLL file.

Is there a difference?

-EDIT-

just checked the 1.8 CAB, but it gives me the same result. After being connected for an hour via USB. A disconnect gives the problems.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Anon:
I installed DKTOday 1.79 cab then added in the 1.8 dll on Tuesday (they the 1.80 cab was uploaded :cry: ).

Anyway, I got round to upgrading the software from a hard reset today to bring everything up to date (according to the o2 website anyway).

New installation is now:

ROM 1.72.00WWE (from 1.60WWE)

ROM Date 15/3/04

Radio Version 1.17.00 (from 1.10)

Protocol 1337.28

ExtROM version 1.72.181

When I installed the other day, DKToday picked up the total call time for the past month from somewhere (o2), then started recording time daily from then on (apart from SMS - still not counting that despite changing the settings in Reg). After the latest install using the 1.80 cab (by Othello above), it is now not counting the total call time for the month and has returned to 0.

Is there something else I need to change? I didn't change any settings last week and it recorded the time (exactly as indicated on the o2 website for unbilled calls) but with the updated ROM and updated DKToday, something has changed that may require a tweak.

Many thanks

OK, I just checked this morning: something is definetely causing DKToday to become more and more CPU greedy during time. Yesterday night everything was OK, but in the morning: my PDA/Phone was slow again. After disabling DKToday all was fine again.

Could this be because of Windows Mobile 5?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Timewarp:
Looks an excellent program, I installed it yesterday.

O2 UK doesn't send true delivery notifications. You can get it to send a message back with *0# at the start of your text, but this only sends you a text back and not a proper delivery message. Does this mean that the SMS counter will not work?

Could I suggest that the app counts the number of SMS and MMS in both "Sent Items" folders, and calculates the number of messages sent on or after the month start date?

Thanks!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Othello:
I do have a better idea but no source code. Now if only I had the code, I would do something about it. One way would be to use the code in the wiki:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/RIL

Instead of counting messages which can be deleted, why not count events or notifications which have to be delivered anyway?

Just a suggestion, what I say may not make sense as it's past midnight here right now ... :arrow:

Re: Suggestion for round up option

It would really be great if the developer could add that! That's one of the greatest feature lacking in shareware software!

Kudos..
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Timewarp:
Very good idea.

Although I would be happy not deleting sent messages newer than a month if the plugin could count them.

Country Specific Versions?

First of all - Great Thx to DKOT !

I have installed the 1.80 version out of the cab posted above.

Seems to work great. The only problem was, that I had too many

items in my todays elements. After deleting some unchecked ones (max. 13 - I heard) in the registry the plugin appeared. :)

The next step was to pimp the dll with an HEX-Editor.

Please forgive me DKOT. :wink:

But I wanted to have german translation! I hope not to bless your authorship when I post this version of your dll here.

Wouldn´t it be nice, if you create an ini-file where the country specific texts can be edited by everyone? Another wish of me would be, to place the transceive-bar a little bit to the left. On a full desktop and a level of 100 % the "%" disappeares under the scroll-bar.

The possibility to count the first minute and after that every second, has already been posted. But it would be worth to push the version to 2.00 immediatly :lol:

I hope you will find the time to develop some more features in this great tool.

hi darek

thanks a ton for this amazing utility. i am using o2 xda atom, and am facing a little problem with line 1 that shows the network operator name and/or cell info. it just shows a dot and nothing else.

any idea?

Hi,

I started using DKToday yesterday and it is really great!

Now my problem is that my subscription (with italian 3G provider "3") includes 5 hours of outgoing calls, 5 hours of outgoing video-calls and 50 SMS per week. So now I have two questions:

-Is it possible to divide voice-calls and video-calls to have separate counters?

-Is it possible to restart counters every week (for me, counts start every sunday at 0:00)?

Thanks in advance.

O2 XDA Mini WM2003SE - still no cell info in DKToday!

Hey dkot,

I was just wondering whether you have made progress on the cell info display in DKToday. I'm running 1.80

I have subscribed to the 050 broadcast channel on my XDAMini, and every time the cell changes, I get a popup message with the details:

Msg From:

Info: Padstow Hts (the cell info)

but I don't get any cell info after the network name in DKToday

I also know there are XDA (NOT Mini users) who *can* get the cell info in DKToday and DON'T get the popup. They are using the same network provider as me.

Is there some registry entry or dll I need to copy over to make this work?

Hi Darek,

Newbie here. Great plugin you got.

Got some questions though.

Cell Broadcast - after installing DKToday, am I suppose to be still receiving the cell info sms? I'm getting them and it's kinda irritating.

In Line 1, it's suppose to show the operator followed by a "," and the cell info right? I don't seem to be able to get my operator displayed. I'm able to get the cell info. So my display will be something like this ",someplace"

*scratch head*

Hi Derek,

Thank you soooooooooooo much for your kind effort and willingness to share with us your hard work and such a useful software! :D I really love it and find it's so convenient to use even on my Dopod 818 pro. But I just find the following problems:

1. The SMS counter doesn't work on even I install the dorucenka.ARM.cab. Is it because I'm using WM5? :cry:

2. The missed call icon always in RED even if I return call to the caller, is it normal? Can it change back to normal after I've clicked on it? :shock:

Once again thank you very much for your kind help and I wish that you can help me on the above 2 problems! :wink:

Hello Darek, great looking APP, I have a couple of questions:

1. Just installed you program and it shows me 0 minutes, so I guess since I have not made any calls after the program was installed it does not check the database to see what calls I have made since the 1st of the current month?

2. Any way to add bold/larger font setting for us semi-blind people?? :oops:

3. Also the recently mentioned SMS count would be great if possible.

Looks good and certanily takes a lot less memory than PDash.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] humayunl:
Darek, one question...

I have a pre-paid connection i.e. i buy a card fo X amount and enter the code and it recharges my account. If i want to find out what the balance is on my card i have to call a number and an automaic message tells me my balalce.

is it possible, and it would be GREAT, if a today plugin, ideally yours wuodl also somehow fetch the latest balance and update it on the today plugin?

this would be the coolest utility for me at least...

what do you think guys?

Add an option to "Round Up Minutes"

Hi Darek,

Nice app. I just have a simple request. Could you add an option for the app to round up the minutes such for example:

1. If my call actually lasted for just 1 sec, it will count it as 1 min; or

2. If my call lasted 1 min 1 sec, the app should count it as 2 mins; etc.

Thanks!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Mythozz:
Re: Add an option to "Round Up Minutes"

But what could do you this?? When you have free minutes... You want to use them as much as possible. If you speak for 1m and 2 seconds you want it to look like 2 minutes? And lose 58 seconds of call time? :?:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] M4io:
that is how some operator rounds them off.

if you call for 1:01 min they will bill you 2 minutes

Proximus bills by the second, but a minimum of 1 minute per call

so if i call 15 sec => 1 minute, 59 sec => 1 min, 1:15 min => 1:15 min

Hi Darek,

great application, congratulations and thanks for your good work.

If you want to make a new version, please let the user the possibility to choose, which entrys are shown on today-screen. I don´t need the provider-name and the signal-strength in the today-screen.

Nevertheless it would be better to show the signal-strength in percent. Is this possible?

Perhaps it would be good to assign the options-menu to tap and hold?

Thank you again for your good work!

Hi Darek,

As you can see from the start of this thread, I've been using Dashboard for quite a while now, but I think your appliaction is great - keep up the good work. I agree with markimark about options-menu and ability to choose display options.

Do you have a website where people can donate to encourage your hard work?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] dkot:
Of course is possible showing signal strength as a number but my intention was to see it when I drive my car. As I see it, it is hard to see small number when you drive a car. That is why I did this this way.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] markimark:
Hi Darek,

thank you for your quick response. I agree to you to use the program in car. But we can see the signal-strength pictogram on top of the today-screen, so the more detailed info in percentage would be helpful.

Perhaps let the user decide and make an option??

Thank you again, and keep on!!

Hi dkot

Thank you very much for your cool tool.

I've been using phone dashboard for a while and I think I am switching to your tool.

Could you please add some more things:

1. I would need an option for 10 seconds rounding since German Telekom rounds my calls to 10 seconds. That is if I call 21 sec. they charge 30.

2.And Probably a predicted time tool that uses averages over the phone time and number of days this month until now to predict your monthly use.

3. an option to chose what to display on the today screen to make it more flexible.

I've also addes more fon icons. most of them are available in different sices like 16x16 and 32x32 also including the telefon which you used in 2 sices.

Thanks alot.

Dear Darek,

Tried your app again and no more repeat of the hard reset. A very nice and useful app it is proving to be. But seems there is a new problem. After a short while, the signal strength bar (and percentage) will become empty (or 0%). Then I need to remove and re-insert the plug-in into the today menu for it to work again, but once that happens, it doesn't register my calls anymore; thus the total usage per day and month are not accurate.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling you app, but still same problem. Note I am using SPB Pocket Plus, maybe it has something to do with it?

Hopefully you can find and fix this bug as I would really like to use this app.

Thanks.

Here is small patch for ONLY those people who has a empty signal indicator problem.

When it will occur just tap in % sign. It should help. I'm waiting for any information how it works.

I did it this way, because I still don't know what is the nature of this bug. I think that it is relevant with any soft you have installed or internal radio stack working ( to get this information I have to ask RIL module about signal strength level). I've never seen this on my mda2.

Does anybody know in which situation indicator stops working ?
