Hi all,
Does anybody know where the call history is being stored? I can't find it neither in the registry, nor among any of the files. I'm sure that rilgsm.dll stores it somewhere, but who knows where?
Thanks in advance!
As far as I know, the caller history is stored in a database equal to contacts, appointments and others. Until now I didn't try to access it, so I'm not able to help you any further...
HTH,

Hi xda2 users, I dont seem able to find a thread on this issue. Perharps I have wrong configuration.
The problem is this. Got sms-es, but unable to view the sender in the inbox. It display the sender's full phone number instead. It is not wise if we have to guess or find in the contacts.
Since we are in XDA2, anyone using photo contacts? I remove caller_id at startup and is it why it wont work? Hehe, try for fun. Thanks.
Well, I am able to see caller name from the Contacts (not sim card) when the person call. So, I dont think this is a problem of me removing caller id at start up. Could it be that the format for the humber in contacts and sms inbox is different?
For example, my contacts number format is (016) 123-4567. Tested that it can be used to call, too lazy to change all to normal number since this is previous iPaq format. Meanwhile sms inbox no is of +0161234567.
Please advise. Thanks.
Hehe, it is solved :lol: I type wrong phone number for testing. Hehe.
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.
Alan
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).
Does anyone know how save the call history to a file?
Some times it is very useful.
Thanks to all
use this freeware: CallUsage
I tried Callusage and it didn't work very well. Is there another program that does this?
I also want to edit my log. How can I do that?
best of all "Jeyo Mobile Companion"
so many things you can do :save SMS, export, import, save call History, import. export etc.........
see print screen :wink:
I'll give it a try. Tnx!
Hi,
I am quite new in the converged world
I have a TyTN and I would like to know it is possible to assign specific ring tones to some contacts as this is possible on simple phones. I have looked in the control panel but have not been able to locate such a possibility.
Sorry if I am missing something very obvious here.
Best regards,
Murat
PS. This site is just gorgeous in terms of the quality of the information (I mean it; I am a regular user of other information sites on PDA and none of them has the same quality of information as here - even if I do not always understand some concepts on the phone aspects of these tools since these aspects are quite new to me).
Not something I do but here are a couple of links to check out:

No need for an external program. You can assign individual ringtones to contacts directly in the contacts application. When you edit a contact, you'll see a "ringtone" field. (at least in WM6; probably also in WM5, but I'm not sure.)

Just to confirm - Yes this is available in WM5 edit contact menu.
Cheers

Thank you very much to both of you! Yes, this works with WM5 too but PI was hiding the field from the default display of the contacts and this is why I was not able to locate it. I have been able to add it and now I can change it.
Thanks a lot!
Best regards,

I'm looking for a way to make a link to a specific contact in poutlook. I've looked around but it seems it is not possible, but maybe someone here knows better. I know it is possible to access for example the new contact screen with poutlook.exe contact -new, maybe there's something similar for a specific contact. I made a little mortscript script for it, but it's just not fast enough.
Alternatively, is it possible to call cprog with a phone number without going through the confirmation screen?
This would allow me to create a menu with contacts in mobile shell (I don't like very much the cube).
Any help is appreciated.
