Does anyone know if it's possible to look at the call history file so that it could be printed out from the host PC ?
Would be useful when filling out expenses claims to list all calls which were business related.
Thanks
Call history
Im looking for the same thing. A way to printout the call history, does anyone know a way or prehaps the Call history file name?
The file name is clog.db in the databases folder. Unfortunately it doesn't appear that the databases on the XDA can be opened.
here are some options as to which programs on pc may be able to open the file with the db extention

Thnx al lot crippsa and Rudegar, found the clog.db file and am able to open it with DBView.
Hi boeloe44,
I'm interested to know how you accessed the clog.db file with DBView. Is this the ARANAY DBView program ? (DBView V2) or another PPC application of the same name ?
I've tried the Aranay DBView which runs on the host PC and cannot seem to get it to connect to my XDA to read the DB files.
Any assistance you may be able to give would be appreciated.
Thanks
Alan
why not just copy the file to the pc that should make access a bit easier

Actualy dbview didn't help as i thought it would. I could only view the clog file with it and nothing else.
I found another program and this one did help me, its dbexlporer.

Here you can download a trail version
With dbexplorer you can export a database to a comma separated file. This file is accessable and you can copy the file from your ppc to a desktop pc and open it with Microsoft Excel.
This is my way for printing out the call history, hoop it helps you crippsa.
To Rudegar: I was unable to find a way to copy the database to my desktop pc. I think the databases are lock or something.
I use Phone Dashboard for this purpose. It also tracks usage overall with some powerful filters such as free mobile-to-mobile plans, night/weekend, etc.
Thanks boeloe44 - DBExplorer is just the job, exports all the fields including the contact name - just what I'm looking for.
Phone Dashboard is good, but you still cant print the call log on the host PC and also it does not show the contact name. It only shows date, time, number and length. Unless of course the trial edition I'm using has less features that the full copy.
I've noticed that the clog.db only holds 50 entries, does anybody know if this can be expanded ?
Thanks,
Alan
The clog.db file certainly will hold thousands of entries. You can change the deletion settings by going to the phone, then call history, click on the tools menu, call timers...
Thanks Carlos - I've since found that Phone Dashboard can export the log file but it still doesn't contain the contact name, which is a pity as having it saves time by not having to look up the number to see if it was a personal or business call.
Thanks for advising how to adjust the deletion time on the clog database.

I've passed a comment to Hudson Mobile Technolgies (makers of Phone Dashboard) to include the name field in future releases of Dashboard
That would be a good idea. Another idea I sent him was to include the contact's CATEGORY. Then I'd have "client" in the field and would know to bill it. Right now I simply sort in Excel and search on the known billable numbers. Not as accurate or quick.
Overall though, that product is a very nice one to have on my phone. It has saved me money when I've been close to going over my plan. I don't know how it is in Europe, but US carriers screw you on overage (35-40 cents per minute).
Dear Members,
I am working on an application in C# for WM which connects to saynoto0870.com website and fetches the alternative geographical No. to 0845,0870,0844 etc.
How this application works is as follows:
When user dials an 0844 or 0871 No. this application intercepts and provides with options to either go ahead or check for an alternative geographical (landline or 0800) No. from saynoto0870 website. (this option disappears after 5 second if no input is provided by user and tries to reach the dialled No.)
If user allows the application to connect and search for alternative No. it fetches the company's name, alternative No. and description of alternative No.
It then lets the user call the alternative No. by clicking on it
It also keeps track of retrieved numbers in history(application specific) and provides option to add the No. to contact List.
What I would require from respected members is to provide their comments and suggestions. I will be much obliged to receive suggestions to improve the application. I will soon post the screen shots. but first I need to make sure there are enough users to utilize this application. and no doubt this application will be free to use and redistribute.
Thanking you,
Ittar
P.S. Please do not forget to write down your suggestions.
Did you get anywhere with this ? i use the service all the time, would save loading up a browser and messing about.
I second that! I hadn't even noticed the first post!!
Definately a great idea!

Hello,
You may have a look at the HTML source code of the page where you have to fill the text field. Look for the FORM tag (to get the name, the method "post or get" and the redirection url), then find the text field and get its name, now find the submit button and take the name (be sure no JScript are executed for the "onclick"), look also for "input type=hidden" fields!
Now the idea is to send a request to the webserver to act "as if you clicked this submit button". For this have a look at the System.Net.WebClient classes, look the HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse objects also.
You'll be able to send a POST of data or a GET with a "long" url (?param=value¶m2=value2... where param is the name of hidden and text fields)
I tell you all this from memory since I'm @work I don't have all my source-code under the hands I'll have a look quickly tonight, I made this kind of thing ; for windows not mobile and in c# but the idea should be the same...
Hope this helps!
Dark
PS: have a look in google for "sample + HttpWebRequest + VB.Net" you may find great stuff there...
Thanks dark! Its working fine with httpwebrequest
I have made an application for my fire department where it will send a text message when we get paged out. The only problem right now is that I have to hard code the numbers of the members in until I learn how to do multiple contact selection and code it in.
For right now, myself and 3 other people have the program but I am constantly adding/deleting numbers. How would I go about adding a button that could check a personal server for an application update? I don't want to put this application on the market for the simple fact that it needs to stay private.

Why not just read the contact info from a web server? Just update it in one place and the clients get it from there.

I did that on my own app. It downloads the file from my Sourceforge site, takes the MD5 sum of it, and compares it to its own MD5. It's inefficient because it downloads the entire file before deciding if it needs to update, but it works and all I have to do to update it is change the .apk it downloads.
The relevant .java file in my app can be found here and the pertinent method is the update method starting on line 214. It uses the downloadAndInstall() ASyncTask on line 337, as well. Hope it helps!
