I've already found this bug. It happens when:

1. you have missed call from somebody who isn't in your contacts.

2. you have missed call visible as "Unknown"
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] markimark:
I have the same problem, which is mentioned above. It has nothing to do with spb pocket plus.

I never installed this program.

I recognized, that the program works ok when you go to options and than back to today-screen, untill you use the phone. After the first call, the problems mentioned begin.

Today I made more than 130 minutes phone calls. the program showed only 1h, 06m calls today and the same value the last month (I made more than six hours outgoing phone calls this month.

Something is going totally wrong!!

Please, Darek, can you help???
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] dkot:
I scheduled performing more tests before publication this version but I'm still very busy and I don't know when it would be ready so here is the latest version dktoday. It's still tested so I can not take you for a granted that everything is alright but I hope.

Modyfication list:

1. more flexible outgoing calls round up - alexball asked for it

2. corrected 00 % signal strength bug

3. new method outgoing call counting - it should solve markimark problem but should take care that new call acounting cannot collect all old calls data, bacause phone log collects only last 20 calls so acounting for this month could be different then real.

4. corrected problem with missed "unknown" calls

Other wishes:

I didn't have free time to change bitmaps - thanks alexball

I tried to add SMS counter. I made a lot of tests and I've had a bad news for you. RIL module doesn't report that SMS has been sent so there is no way to implement this functionality. Only soft which sends SMS knows that SMS was sent :(. RIL sends notification only for incoming SMS.

Instalation:

1. uncheck dktoday from today list

2. remove dktoday

3. check in windows folder for dktoday.dll. If still exist, remove it.

4. soft reset

5. install new cab

6. check it on today list

7. open options dialog and set-up dktoday's parameters

Thanks and regards

Darek I used your latest version. It runs more smoothly than the previous ones... Good job.

Still I have a small problem.I use the normal font and not the large one beacause my network is GR COSMOTE so when I use the large font the.... ...TE part of the name dissapears behind the signal meter. When I use the normal font, the laste letter of Cosmote the E is coonected almost with the signal bar...

Can you add the option to show or not show the Network name? Or if you have to show the network name... could you add a line break between the end of the network name and the signal bar?

Thank you.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] markimark:
Hi Darek,

it is so great, that you made a new version so quickly!!

Today, I am at least seven hours in car and I have to make many phone-calls. So I can test the new version in detail.

Again: thank you very much for your work.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] markimark:
Hi Darek,

I tested the new version yesterday and all worked perfect. No problems with signal-strength, no problems with counting of the call-duration, everything is working good the last day. Thank you very much!

Please take the alternative icon because of the height and width of the old icon.

Suggestion: it would be nice to give the option showing the new sms or emails too, similary to the missed calls.

And absolutely perfect it would be to add the function to go to the incoming mail-folder tapping on the entry and to go to the call-history tapping on the entry of missed calls.

And tap and hold opens the options-menu???

Thanks again for your work.

I try to do my best but your wish list is still longer and longer .... :) so I have to ask you for a help. What I need are small icons (16x16x256). I viewed icons I've got from alexball but I didn't find what I need.

Here is my wish list:

1. substitute for phone icon

2. substitute for phone icon with hand

3. icon for turning off screen

4. icon for settings

5. nicer signal strength icon or rather set of icons ( 4 elements)

Icons don't have to look like mine but as I see it, they should to associate with appropriate activity. It would be nice when all icons will be in the same style :lol:

When icons will be smaller then I will move network and signal left and it will be look better with larger font.

Great work Darek... the latest release is the best so far. Thanks so much for sharing your work with us.

Everyone, I think we should each do whatever we can to help Darek in any way we can. I am not a programmer or designer myself so my ability to help will be limited but what I am going to do is talk to Juni... He is an excellent graphic designer and makes the most beautiful icons/skins for some of the best software I have used for PPCs. (Pocket Breeze, Weather Panel etc.)

Let's see if we can get him to make some nice icons for this wonderful piece of software.

Personally as far as my wish list goes, the one featuer that would be excellent for this plugin would be an SMS counter which counts SMSs sent.

There could be MANY other things but i dont want to overwhelm Darek :)

Ok I'm gonna mail Juni and try to get him to come to this post and say something.

wish me luck :) and keep up the great work Darek!

Hi there, I have the XDAIIs and wheneever I click on the Icon of dktoday, it doesn't respond so I can't configure it :(

Any idea how I can do it ?

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] dave:
Thanks Darek, works fine on my qtek 2020

Only one question for a small "cosmetic" matter: where do you take the network names from ?

DKToday shows for me I-Omnitel, that is the old name for Vodafone IT

If you can correct, it will be perfect !
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] dkot:
Dave,

You overestimate my possibility :). I know nothing about your network name. I get it directly from phone. RIL reports long and short operator name. What you see it is long name.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] dave:

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

i've played a bit with your plugin... :o)), coz I was not satisfied with the icon size... :o))))

So here's the result.

However, there are few more things you might want to correct...

1. icon has no spacing on the left size

2. Text is indented a bit more than other plugins

3. There is a missing % sign on the right

4. The whole plugin is missing space indent from the line above it

Could you please fix those?

I can send you those small icons if you want them. I have the whole plugin with smaller icons ready as a .cab but i thought you night not be happy, if I will post it here... So if you say OK, I will post it here for download, otherwise...

THANX

Hi Darek,

Thanks for a great utility. I have followed all the development of this great program and have today installed the 1.69version i hv no doubt it will work great ( I have not made any calls since I upgraded to 1.69)

I also saw the long wish list by other members of the group.. Here is my wish list of improvements in this great utility... Hope u can do it.

1) Along with the time counter can we have the cost counter / calculator too.

2) Cost calculator with an option for home circle and while roaming.. ( the call cost differs a lot when roaming out side your home circle. )

3) While in roaming one also pays for incoming calls.. -- wonder how that option can be incorporated.

I have been using the sbp GPRS meter in the today screen and that has the option to set the data download cost ( not in roaming though)

But i am sure u can come up with some thing.

I am no software buff infact thats not my field at all so I cant help u much with programming ideas..however I felt - the way one has various modes option in PocketZone Phone.. u can device various modes like within home circle the incoming calls are not counted and while in the roaming u can set counter for incoming calls too both along with the cost.

I think in SBP GPRS meter the currency is picked up from regional settings and i am sure u can do that here too so that the cost is shown in currency of the respective country once call cost is set.

Guess its not too much to ask.. or am I..?

But i think if u can incorporate these .. this wud be just a hell of great progrm.

Thanks once again for your hard work till date and for this great utility. Keep it up.

Cheers and best wishes

Hi Darek,

I've just installed your plug-in and loving it! Thank you very much for sharing it freely with us!

I noticed there's been a lot of wishes, and I'd like to add my own too...it's mostly UI-based.

I noticed that the word "Signal:" is redundant in the plug-in, and could perhaps be taken out, so that people with long network names could see the whole network name easier? Also, how about putting the % inside the signal bar?

I'd like to learn how to create plug-ins for the Pocket PC too. Could you teach me how to start? What software do you use? Thanks once again for a great plug-in!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Cyber-mate:
Re: Try this one

Darek, 10 outta 10 :D

I just wonder whether the signal stregnth is 100% accurate?

On the other hand, I noticed when I delete the missed calls from the phone list and return to the Today screen, it takes about 5secs for DKToday to reset, is it normal :?

Ah, one more thing, as on the line of signal percentage bar, it eflects the %, but part of the % is hidden right at the edge of the screen on portrait mode!!

SMS notification

I have named the default string under Notification --> HKCU\Cotrol Panel\

and since then, every sent SMS, pops a message with envelope and sound and of course I could modify all this from the SOund Notification under Settings.

So with that, will you still find it hard to incorporate it?

Thanx Darek 8)

Hey just following the whole conversation, this app looks great. Well done for all your hard work!

Just thought I would join the crowd and add in a feature request. I would like to keep track of how many mins worth of calls has been before 7pm and how many after, as I have 1000 free off peak mins a month. Not sure how you could add this without taking up too much room. Maybe an option to set off peak times and then an option to display only on/off peak mins, or just the total.

SMS counter would be great too, but I know that you are already working on it. Still, this is a fantastic app, I love it!

new version - 1.70

Here is new version dktoday - 1.70

Changes:

- added sent SMS counter

- added free of charge phone call list in options dialog

- text moved - now you can see all "signal" text :)

As I've already written SMS counter counts in fact SMS delivery notification so you must first turns it on. Without this it doesn't work.

Also, when you send long SMS ( it is send as 2 smss) your counter will be incremented only once so you should remember about this.

Free of charge phone calls - for example when you call your voice mail. This call in my operator is free of charge so it shouldn't be added to call time. You can define up to 20 free of charge numbers. Remember, that number is compared as is so don't add for example any space(s) before or after phone number.

Regards and thanks for all yours impresions

Great software there Darek!

But could you please add a button for switching the phone on and off please.. (I didn't mean flight mode, just the radio on and off. Its different in my xda 2s because if i click flight mode on, it also switch on my wlan, and when i click off, it would also turn my wlan off...) If this function was incoporated, this would be the best today plugin ever...

Anyways, thanks for making such a great application free :)

Superrrrr programm however.....

I love this programm but I do have one bug which I noticed since v 1.66 (at least on my XDAII with 2003 SE)

It is possible to configure the start day of the month. My guess is to count the outgoing calls since that day, however.....I have my startday configured as "20", but it still counts from day "1". When the month changed at feb 1-st the counter was reset.

I recently installed v 1.70 and the problem is still there. Am I doing anything wrong here?

You are right !!!

I've already found this bug ( I forgot to read this switch in startup, it was read only in options dialog :) )

My startday is 1'st so it has never happend on my JAM.

Thanks and here is corrected version (1.71)

P.S. I'm waiting for any feedback, how it works now.

I REMOVED FILE, BECAUSE IT WAS WRONG !!!!

LOOK BELOW FOR REAL 1.71
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] AHSB:
Re: version 1.71

it looks like you included the same dll as in version 1.70. The date, size and time is exact the same as in release 1.70

In my case changing the date still does not work. I keep getting the same call time when I set "1" or set "20".

Some other things:

When I send a SMS I get the envelop and the message that the SMS is send. The SMS counter does not increase with 1. I even configured SMS to ask for a send confirmation, but is still doesn't work. Can you tell met what I should change in my XDA to get this feature working.

(I also added the @="System Notification" in de registry.

Finally: Today I made an call for almost 10 minutes. Those 10 minutes were not added to the total time. When I asked the time in "Call History" it also said I had called for 00:00 minutes. Is it possible that this is caused by the dktoday program? (no critic, just to be sure). Other calls after that one registered correctly......
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] dkot:
AHSB, thanks for your discovery :)

Here is correct dktoday v.1.71

To get SMS counter working you should install this

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=15524&highlight=dorucenka

I'm using "Call history" to collect call information, so when you didn't see your calls in call history log, I didn't see it too. I don't think, that it occured because of dktoday.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] rosco1011:
sms motification patch applied on my jam and apparently active (box is checked) - but just not functioning (and therefore nothing on the sms counter). an o2 problem perhaps?

also, having problems with today screen corruption unless dktoday is moved to the top. other plugins, such as pocket weather, are overlayed with a second copy of dktoday. not a huge problem i guess, but i would still like to be able to change the order of today plugins.

otherwise a big thankyou for all the work so far.

rosco
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] dkot:
rozsco1011,

Do you get notification, that SMS is delivered ? What is the title and who is sender this notification ? Do you see this notification as envelope or this is different icon?

Today screen corruption is probably related with other today plugin you have installed. I have this problem with for example OmegaOne Battery Pack or MBro Today Player. Try to uncheck your today plugins and leave only dktoday and embeded todays (inbox,calendar ... ). I'm almost sure, that then everything will be allright. I've already found this bug in dktoday and corrected it so version 1.69 and later shouldn't trigger screen corruption.

Darek
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] rosco1011:
only a notification that sms was sent (envelope at top of screen with balloon).

i get no notification for delivery, even though this is definitely selected on the sms option.

i have tried many times to rearrange plugins, disabling and re-enabling them. it happens in combination with several other plugins, but not the embedded ones, as you kind-of suggested. sometimes results in a crash recoverable with soft-reset. i tried again, disabling most thinks except dk, then enabled pocketweather, but corruption of pocketweater showing second version of dk. basically, if i have another plugin - pocketweather, batterytimeplus etc - above dk on the today screen it gets corrupted.

still, not a big deal :)

thanks for your reply
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] bravo2zero:
Same experience here w/ rosco1011. Installed the dorucenka filed before the latest dktoday and confirmed that sms notification is on. When i send out an sms, a small envelope appears on top and says "message sent". But the sms counter does not reflect it. Am running dktoday w/ spb pocketplus and scarybear quick calendar. No problems on their coexisting in the today screen.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] bravo2zero:
I just thought of something. Dk, if you can port your program to the sent items function then its built in counter can be the one to set off your sms counter. Don't know if this is possible since i'm not a programmer. If you've noticed, the sent items folder already counts the number of sms sent. All you need to do is to put this counter or a representation of it in front.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] rosco1011:
great idea bravo2zero (if it's possible).

this woud solve the problem that some of us are having getting sms notification to work (which is obviously a phone specific problem rather that a dktoday problem).

any idea whether this could be implemented Darek?

wondering whether you are also an o2 uk user bravo2zero (re: sms notification not working)?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] bravo2zero:
My XDA2 is using the Asian 2.06 ROM from ZeroXtreme. The sms notification functions erratically. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesnt so its not a reliable basis for counting the sms sent. If only Darek can use the existing counters built into the sms inbox function, maybe this would be more effecient. But as I said earlier, i'm not a programmer so don't know if this is possible.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] dkot:
bravo2zero,

You assume that everybody uses Inbox to send SMS. It is not true. For example Phone Plus allows you to send SMS too.

Your assuming is as good as mine, that every network sends delivery notification :)

All my hope in notification. Is there anybody who uses other software for sms sending? I use Inbox too so I don't know if other software sends baloon notification too.

Darek
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] bravo2zero:
I noticed that after installing darucenko, there are 2 sms notification balloons i get. One is the standard balloon that appears on top of today and says "sms sent" then i get another one that comes from "admin" also saying that sms is sent. This last one is the one that triggers your sms counter and it appears in the inbox folder. Is this the one your referring to? Btw, your program is really cool. I've been using it for over a week now and its stable under any conditions. Great job Darek and thank you for your efforts.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] ichilton:
Hi Derek,

Thanks for this great software!!

I would like to post my wish list though :)

- The signal strengh thing seems strange - in my garage where the signal is marginal - it goes in and out of service, DK Today shows 1 red block and 38%!. When the phone goes out of service, the network name dissapears but it still shows a % (eg: still 38%).

- The free calls list is useful but is it possible to either support wildcards (so I can do 0800*) or change it so it only matches the 1st part of the phone number dialed - i.e if you enter 150, it only tries to mention this against the 1st 3 digits of the phone number you dial. If you dial 0800, it only matches this against the 1st 4 digits you dial. I want this because in the UK, the 0800, 0808 and 0500 dialing codes are free (on some networks anyway), so any calls starting with those numbers are free.

- The free calls list is a bit clunky - an add, delete and edit function would be more useful than the current way.

- This is a bigger thing but it would be really useful to get it so when you click on DK Today, you get a list of missed, dialed and received calls with the call time next to them - like Phone Dashboard.

- Like some others said - it would be goog to be able to configure what is displayed.

- It should be "missed calls", not "missing calls" - if the call has gone missing then you dont know about it anyway :-)

- GPRS data usage tracking :-)

And some other things I thought of you could implement somtime if you get time :)

- Peak and off-peak minute tracking

- Call cost counting - you tell it how many free minutes you get a month and when you run out of them, it automatically tells you how much you are costing in calls (you tell it your peak and off-peak call charges).

Derek - It would be good if you could comment on these and say whether they are possible or not - then at least we know if these will ever get added :)

Thanks!!!!!!
