Call timer program

Hi all,
I've had a search for this but can't find any solutions.
Unless i'm being really stupid I xcan't find a way to make my XDA mini S count only OUTGOING calls. Basically, I get 100 free minutes a month and currently have no idea how many I am using. The only thing I can get the phone to count is a total of in and outgoing calls which is utterly useless.
Any suggestions?
Alex

DkToday is the app you need, it counts outgoing calls and sms. You can set the date you want to roll-over as well ( my minutes are round up and charged to me every 11th of the month.) I'll attach two files here. First install version 1.69, then replace with the dll in version 1.80. good luck!

Where's the setting options in dktoday?

Sorry, I forgot to mention that. Go to start-settings-today-items and tap the DKToday Plug-in. Then select options on the right side of the plug-in list, and the options menu pops-up.

When you say replace the DLL do you mean simply install the older version then copy and paste the new version into the install location?
Many thanks

Yes. If I remember correctly, the 1.80 cab only contains the .dll file and not the complete program. Simply installing the 1.80 cab should work, but not without having 1.69 installed first. So simply install version 1.69 and then install 1.80 over the old version.

Ah brill, have got it working. So if i tap on the phone icon is it meant to take me to missed calls? It doesn't seem to wor. The bluetooth one does. And what is the bar in the top right? battery? Is there a way to turn that off?

Downloaded this but cannot install on the Wizard.
Two files nether of which will install.
00CAB2BE.001
0DKTODAY.000
How do I get this on ?

the bar in the top right is a signal strength indicator, it shows you how strong your signal to the nearest GSM transmitter is, like the phone icon in the top bar. Clicking on it turns your screen off. Tapping on the phone symbol only works when you have a missed call. It then pops-up a screen, asking you if you want to call back the number you have not answered. It will not take you to the missed call section like the dialer does when you press the calls button there.
Disabling some lines in the plug-in can be done in options, by selecting which lines ( 1, 2 or 3) it should show.

@Nikko2: copy the cab files to your device using Active Sync or Explorer, than execute them from there, first 1.69, then 1.80. Choose Device as install location and it should work.

It doesn't count the sms. I have 150 and it comes out 000

Same here. App is not counting the text messages.

It first starts counting when you recieve an SMS. The only problem i have with that is that it counts my deliverynotifications as well. So it allways counts +1 when i sent a sms and get the notification. It doesn´t count how many sms you have in your inbox

Problem is, mine doesn't count in or out going sms. at all.

DKToday only counts sms delivery notifications. Be sure to turn that on. When you type a new message, go to menu-options and check the box. When the delivery notification is received by your phone, the app counts 1 sent sms. There is a way to turn these delivery notifications permanently on. I have posted this in a similar thread and it is also posted in the original thread on this program. use the search.
Be sure to verify if your provider charges you for these notifications, because some do. In Holland these notifications are free of charge, but that does not always go for other countries, so be sure to check this to avoid nasty surprises on your bill.

dktoday seems to make my wizard/cingular8125 run really slow. Anyone else notice this?
What happens if you don't install 169 before 180?

Use CalltimeApp - the perfect solution for keeping track of sent text messages, MMS and calltime...

Is it available in englis. Google only turned up german versions. I'd hate to have to learn another language just to track my SMS.

You may be right - I didn't know that...
But the program is very simple - I am sure you won't have a problem. I will email the developer and contact you in case he decides to make an english version - it can't be a big deal to translate the few menus...

Wow. This won't be helpful. If the phone had the above, I would have this list:
1. How to disable the SMS send notification.
2. Smileys in sms (Emojii). (ok, keep this)
3. How can I stop the repeat message recieved with sound.
4. Disable preview of sms direct on the lock screen.
5. Disable unlock Sound
Good luck on your quest

Ehrm?

Still no sent notification. However, the MMS sent notification works fine.

if you mean the delivery reports, they seem to be provider-dependent. for some they don't work because their provider doesn't support them

SMS notification works on my Diamond but not on my HD2 (same carrier). So I can rule out the "provider-dependent" notion. Oh well, it's not really a big problem.

No notification ie a reassuring beep to tell you its been sent and a exclamation beep if it doesn't leave the outbox (just like every single phone I've ever owned!!!)
successfully sent.....not successfully delivered!!!!!

sms notification. How have you done that?

Yesterday i wrote this to HTC:
Dear HTC, My Wishes for HD2:
1. SMS send notification (Sound and text).
2. Smileys in sms.
3. Repeat sounde when message recieved, but unread.
4. See sms and email direct on the lock screen.
5. Unlock Sound and vibrate when unlocking. 6. led blink with new email, sms etc.
They have written back to me:
It's possible that some of these things will be available in a newer upgrade, but it's not something I can guarentee.
If you have any questions, feel free to reply to this e-mail.
If you want, you kan write in Danish as I am Danish
So lets hope HTC make this

"SMS Sent" notification? Does the HD2 have it?

One thing I miss from my Touch Pro, is the little pop up confirming my SMS has been sent.
I can achieve a similar effect with delivery reports, but they make the same noise as receiving a text (which gives me false hope haha) and I have to delete them manually.

I believe some of the custom ROMs have this, but the stock 1.66 WWE HTC ROM doesn't.

Go to Messages section

Under SMS --> Tick Request deliver report.

Besides the explanation mark not being present, i dont believe it does. I havent tried myself but i remember someone mentioning it may have this but not in threaded conversation mode, when this turned off in the old message format (so you can see the sent folder etc).

ROMs based on 2.10 have it - and it's probably the most annoying notification ever! So glad Miri took it out of his...

If you need “SMS sent” notification, you can use “Zenyee Disable HTC Messaging 1.2.CAB” from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=631449
On my HD2 (official T-Mobile CZ ROM) it blocked conversation mode and restored it “SMS sent” notification.

Delivery report for SMS

Hi all! I've update the software & I enabled the delivery report for sms.
When I send a SMS, I did not receive the delivery report. Anybody encounter this?
How can I make the delivery report work? Thanks

Are you using regular message application?
If so double check on you have ticked for delivery report for SMS and MMS in the settings
And check with your service provider its already activated to your sim card (this has noting to do with what kind of phone ur using, ask service provider to activate such service, if its available with them)

the X10i does not notify you if the sms was delivered, you can check by tap and hold on the message (sms) you send and a menu pops up and you select view report, it will show you if it is delivered or pending. it is a pain in the a$$.

I just called customer service. They told me on the right side of the SMS, there's an envelope. If there's an exclamation mark on top of it, it means its delivered...

I haven't use the regular message from the beginning.
Try using Handcent Sms, its free. And I have made customized handcent sms for X10.
check this forum handcent sms Modified to XPERIA X10 GUI
Once you installed,
On Handcent, go to settings/sent notifications/pick notify when message is received.
and do a test msg to a friend. It should show you an indication and you can pick custom tone.
Note:
if you get 2 notification for one message its because handcent and regular message both alerting for same event.
go to regular message and setting and remove all the notifications. keep only handcent.
Good luck

If it is MMS, then Exclamation mark, else Tick mark for SMS.....

Hi all,
I think I'm having a similar problem -
When I send a message, it definitely is sent - my friends are receiving them - but in Handcent, I get the blue-turning circle next to the message (as if it is still sending) and in the stock messaging app, the same message has the envelope with the exclamation mark.
Yet the messages ARE being sent.
This has only just started happening in the last day or so. I have installed quite a few apps to help save the battery since rooting - e.g. JuiceDefender, SetCPU, TaskPanel and StartUp Manager, but as far as I can tell I've not done anything to the SMS settings. As far as I can tell...
I'm on R2BA023, rooted, on O2 UK.
I've had a look through all the settings I can think of but I'm stumped now. This is the final niggle in my otherwise great new rooted set-up...

Hey - just wanted to update as I seem to have fixed it...
Not sure HOW, but it's one of the following. Seems to be something in "Startup Manager".
1) I had removed "Handcent SMS" for "User startup". Under the basis of "if I need it, I will run it".
2) Had removed the default x10 "Messaging" app from "System startup". It had 3 entries in there. I removed them all...
So one of those things broke the Outbox. As I mentioned, messages would send (confirmed by friends) but still appear as "in progress".
So, having put them all back in "System Startup", and rebooted, the "stuck" messages finally stopped being "stuck". Fixing it seems to have sent the messages again, but they are no longer "in progress". They are, however, time-stamped with the current time (e.g. today) and not the time sent (e.g. yesterday). It turns out they have been "sent" again.
Oh dear, I just tinkered to try to pinpoint the problem and I've broken it again.
Further edit:
Actually, far from having fixed it, it seems that now the "stuck" messages only send during a reboot.
Trying to send them when the phone is "on" just leaves them stuck in the outbox. If I power off & on, they leave the outbox... BUT the recipient gets them again.
Damnit.
Any ideas?

I dont think your rooting or any other application will affect this.
tell us what settings are u on when you go to :
On Handcent, go to settings/sent notifications/"What option??"

I think it's not so much the "rooting" as possibly "things I have tinkered with after I got power-crazy after rooting", i.e. trying to disable things I don't need from running at startup. Un-doing that seemed to improve it...
Odd that at the moment it sends during boot. So something runs at boot that sends my outbox messages, but it can't run once the phone is on.
I just uninstalled Handcent and used the stock app. Sent a message first time with no problems...
I will reinstall Handcent and take a look at what happens. I can't not have that app now, I love it (until I broke it).

its exclamation for all....

Well, re-installed Handcent. Seems to be okay now.
It's a bit odd, I never changed the settings in there, as far as I can tell.
Shiwantha, I remember that initially "Sent notifications" was on "Disable" but I changed it to "Notify when sent" when I was having problems, and it made no difference.
Anyway, it's fixed now. Thanks for your help!

A quick follow-up... I like to give as much info as possible in these situations so anyone else who happens to find this problem may find something here that helps...
After re-installing Handcent, there are now two entries in StartUp Manager's "User" section. After my previous tinker-sessions, I could only see one to enable/disable, but I thought there were two before.
So I think that I "broke" one of those start-up entries.
For the record, it is working now and I have:
- Disabled ALL "Messaging" entries in "system" section of Startup Manager
- Left BOTH entries for Handcent SMS in "user" section of Starup Manager
The only conclusion I can think of is that by disabling the "Handcent" entries, I "broke" one of them, and so could only re-enable one of the entries. I assume the other one had some kind of SMS outbox functionality.
I'm just guessing though. But at least I can disable the "messaging" stock apps and it all still works.
FIXED. Relief!

Sent from my X10i using XDA App

In additon to owning the X10 I own the X1. The message delivery notification was driving me mad on the X1. With the X10 I noticed there is a red X if the message has not been sent. However, once it is send the red X is cleared away. I like it this way much better.

Sick of sending MMS

Why oh why does my phone send certain messages as MMS? My wife can send long messages without them turning into MMS on the same network (three). Is there any settings I need to tick or remove to combat this issue? Any suggestions welcome.

That's probably because you're using image-based emoticons (from the keyboard's build-in emoticons) instead of text-based System ones (Optionkey>insert smiley). The former inserts an image, which converts the message to a MultiMedia message.

That was my first reaction but going back to the 5 messages that it happened on, aand one this morning, there were no emoticons. I very rarely send any and when I do, I send the silly green ones. It's got to be character count problems somewhere. Tried looking in my wife's phone - also a Note 3 - for any settings difference, but no luck so far. It seems she can send long msgs without them turning into MMS.
Thanks for your thoughts.

Hm... Then we keep looking.
What's your Input Mode (Messages > Settings > SMS/MMS > Input Mode) set to? GSM Alphabet allows longer messages, Unicode forces them down to 70 characters.

ShadowLea, you are my shining star! :angel: Indeed, that was the difference between the settings between the two phones. I have just sent a long message and all was well, no MMS. Another thanks earned.
