Counting and resetting sms & call minutes - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Does anyone know a program I can buy or freeware that I can use to count and know my monthly sms and calls that leaves from my HTC TyTN phone.
Any idea will be well appreciate. I want to be smarter than my operator

Check out www.Efficasoft.com I just remembered I was using one of their applications to monitor my data usage. I checked their site quickly and they have an SMS counter. Not sure about minutes. But I only took a quick look.
Hopefully this is what you were lookin for.

naa that one is a reatil app.
Get BatteryStatus, it will count for you and is freeware.

@ Knockz , sms counter is for Smartphone and @Radimu,I think BatteryStatus is meant for battery :O

BatteryStatus - http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_BatteryStatus_XDA_Neo_WM5_iM_cs.htm
It does: SMS, Data, Minutes. It also shows battery, remaining memory on storage card & device, and more.
It works on my 8525 w/WM6.

oh yes it does count but unfortunately I can not reset it...I would like that it counts on monthly basis because I want to know how much I am being charged every month for my usage

Dig a little deeper...it actually does reset on a monthly basis. You tell it the hour and the day of the month that you want to reset and it resets the counter for you.
Only problem is that there is conflict with Sleuth255's SIPchange software and freezes up my 8525 WM6. Can't figure out why and make both programs work together. So, I opted out of the BatteryStatus program for the ability to use pocketCM keyboard. I wish I could have all the functions!

hang about a minute...
here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297775 is a program to define the default sip hope this helps, i don't get any conflicts/incompatabilities

Is there a call minute monitor program available for xda2?

Hi
Is there a call minute monitor program available for xda2?
I mean a program that you can reset after each month and check how many minutes you are using.
THANKS[/b]
http://www.hudsonmobile.com/
I've bought this software, but I'm a little unsure whether it works ok or not.
The today plug shows, amongst other things, minutes used that day. I noticed that after I received a call lasting around 5 - 6 mins, my daily total had increased by that figure. Surely if it was an incoming call then it should not have counted those 5 - 6. If I had initiated the call myself then I would understand.
Any thoughts / contradictions?
Cheers
Anthony
Thanks for the link!
Try this one
This is my own today plugin (DKToday).
I wrote it because I havent found software with all function I need.
It show you:
- operator name
- signal strength
- today call time ( outgoing only )
- monthly call time
- missing call list
Finally you can call back directly from this today
This software is absolutely free of charge.
Regards and have a fun

In the US on TMo you can type in '#646#' and press TALK, you will get a notification that pops up on your screen in about 2 seconds that tells you how many minutes you have used. I was just in Singapore on singtel and it worked there, give it a try and see if it works for you.
Here is a link to the DKToday Plugin. A very nice piece of work for those looking for this type of tool.

Check the config options - two things are confusing - 1. by default it includes incoming calls which is weird and 2 - it 'rounds' up minutes by default too (so 30secs appears as a full minute). Other than that it's great
I have tried the dashboard before and it's just screwed up.
(funnysnake today phone) worked for me nicely. though i would love to try the one created by TD
Have used dkot's tool and it is pretty handy, thanks.
There are some nice programs to track cell phone usage... however it is surprising that they all completely ignore another important part of cellular usage that affects the bill... SMS...
I havent seen any program that also counts how many SMSs you have sent/received. This is also a major factor because sending/receiving SMSs are not free.
Is there any program that does this as well? or maybe the existing programs ought to include this functionality in them.
I don't know of any software that does this but one way around it would be to save sent messages in your sent folder. All sms folders show the no of messages in there.
You can then empty this each month...
Probably not what you are looking for but it might do till someone writes some software for it.
Hi,
I also installed dkot´s today plugin. Works very nice. Thanks for the work !
Only one minor problem: My month starts on every 22nd (elements -> options). But it seems that the "monthly minute counter" resets to the 1st after each softreset. The 22nd is still shown in the options but on the today screen I see all minutes for the month.
I then go to the options and type in 22 again. After returning to the today screen I get the correct minutes.

I am using "Phone Dashboard Minute Tracker" (find it on Pocketgear)
It is complete, no problems.
@Tekflow,
Phone Dashboard Minute Tracker seems to be a nice program, but it´s commercial ($14,99).
I like the little Freeware App

hi dkot,
thanx for the plugin. nice work, however i found following:
When i click operator name, it will power off my XDA2.
Phone icon is too big.
When i set count 30 seconds, today screen is refreshed in 30 seconds interval. so if i run another program and then close it, i see garbage onscreen till next interval.
thanx

Excellent !
A very nice, useful piece of software that actually works and does what it says in the tin.
As others have said the only other 'feature' would be an options tab that allows users to set the date their month starts, and maybe reset the call timers.
But as it is, it's fine, and it's one of my must have today plugins !!
Cheers

Marcus: I've already found and corrected problem you wrote about. Now monthly counter works correctly.
Buzz_lightyear:
It was my intention to turn off screen (it is not power off feature) by pressing operator name. I use it to turn off screen when I listen music. I forgot to say about it.
Screen is refreshed every 5 seconds. I know that the best way would be to refresh call counters after every call, but RIL doesn't send any message when call has been finished ( I tried it )
Icon size - I know that, but I'm not an artist and I couldn't find any other icon. If you have better (smaller) icon set, please send them to me and I will change them.
I'm really happy that all of you want to have dktoday on yours mdas. I will try to correct all errors you found and I hope I will show you next version before end of this year.
Thanx

hey Darek,
i like it very much... I wanted to ask, if it's a bug or feature, but it looked to me as a feature as well... that screen off...
Is it open source? I mean could you provide me with the source? I would like to change some stuff. Mainly face lifting...
buzz
Frankly say, I'm not ready for sharing source code with someone else yet. I have to make a lot of change in this software before. It is still in experimental state. Maybe in near future.
Here is my Christmas gift for all of you (see attachment). This is new dll with my today. To install it uncheck my today and simple copy it to windows folder. That is version 1.6. I corrected Marcus's problem, changed options dialog view and moved 'ok' button.
I cannot prepare full cab file because I do it from my pda.
Merry Christmas for all of you from Poland.

I cannot add attachment using pda!!! How can I do it?

I think you can't have all the work done with it (i.e. calculate the amount that I have spent based on the time and day of the day that I've used, excluding the free calls and the best-pal calls). It just shows you how many minutes you have used.
There is a shareware that can do that, forgot its name. I didn't install it because it doesn't seems to work on my phone with WM5
actually, since i installed it on my kjam, i noticed it refreshing the today screen every 2 seconds, which i couldn't find a way to change it, therefor i removed it from my system.

That's true ... it's almost impossible to set it up so that it fits your plan... I remember that on Symbian phone I had program Extended Log from Psiloc which was customizable in any possible way, very very good and well thought piece of software! Unfortunatelly for PocketPC Phone Edition I couldn't find anything close to it :-(

Unfortunately NOT any of this programs can count data SEPARATELY incomming and outgoing (there is may plans counting it that way).
I mean - you can not define a plan like this to watch your cost (you can only see the data on the chart).

SmaatoCost is freeware (in fact AD-enabled) and does monitor DATA cost (in and out) and phone calls & bills...

Sprite Terminator - GPS coordinates thru SMS, Wipe/Lock remotely!!!

Hey all,
I'm not usually a person who will just plug random commercial software, but I came across some software that I felt compelled to share with all of you, since we now have GPS, and this could be very useful in the event that you lose your phone, and aid you in having the local authorities get your phone back.
It's called "Sprite Terminator," and it's from the same company who brought you Sprite Backup, which if you haven't used it yet, you should buy it. It's the simplest, most effective backup solution for Windows Mobile I've ever used.
Anyway, on to the meat and potatoes as they say
Sprite Terminator will allow you to do many things with your phone in the case of loss or theft. the program installs, and runs in the background at all times. you can send it an SMS message with a special command, your password you set, and then the action you would like it to perform.
For example, if I send a text message to my phone that looks like this:
spritecmd (password) gps
it will reply to me with a CLICKABLE LINK that takes me to google maps and shows me exactly where my phone is!!!!!
The other options are that you can completely wipe your phone and storage card clean, you can lock your phone so that no calls can be made, you can unlock it, you can change the password, you can get your call log sent to you to see what calls have been made since you lost it, the list goes on...See the bottom of this post for an excerpt straight from the company.
Even better is that it's completely unapparent on my mogul. the program intercepts the SMS so you never see it at all on the phone.
Better yet is that having this installed has not increased my powerdrain (If you know me you know I'm very anal about how much battery power my mogul is using at all times) and it doesn't seem to affect my amount of RAM either, or else it's extremely negligible.
All in all, 15 bucks for this isn't too bad!!
***************************************************************
Here's an excerpt of the features from their site, which is located at
http://www.spritesoftware.com/store...MoreLink&utm_campaign=Terminator-HMP-MoreLink
When will Terminator save you?
* Find your lost phone using GPS - See exactly where your phone is and track it.
* Lost or Stolen Phone - Remotely Lock or Wipe it
* Decommissioning a phone for re-cycling or resale - Don't risk leaks or embarassment
Why should I care?
Personal or Corporate Data on Smartphones means you risk your privacy and/or your company’s confidential information. According to the Gartner Group, over 250,000 cell phones and PDAs are lost or stolen at airports every year, and only 25 to 30 percent of them ever make it back to their rightful owners.
Key Features
* Locate your phone using GPS - See exactly where your phone is and track it on via Google Maps, or Virtual Earth.
* Set and Forget – Once configured, Sprite Terminator is unobtrusive and can only be uninstalled with the correct password
* Remote Delete – Send an SMS message to initiate the wipe operation including all external storage cards
* Remote Lock-Down – Send an SMS message to lock all functionality or re-set the device master password
* SIM Change Alert – Receive a notification SMS message if the SIM card has been changed
* Activity Retrieval – Send an SMS message to retrieve call log entries
* Supports all Windows Mobile 5 & 6 Phones
is there a way to cook it into a rom, with password and settings already all configured? (that way a hard reset wont wipe it out)
ooh, that's an excellent idea!! I don't know if you could do that or not. I'll try to investigate a little

I'm certain you could, but it might take some fiddling. You can configure an OEM to drop into a kitchen that will put the files and reg tweaks in place, but you first have to figure out what they all should be.
Probably wouldn't be ridiculously difficult, though.

I haven't played with the Kitchen's yet, but I just might be that guy this time. We'll see what my week has in store for me. Anyone know if it's available on a trial basis? I'd hate to drop $15 on it just to see if this can be done. I like the thought of it, but if circumventing it is only a hard reset away, I don't see a need.
Update: NM on the trial, they do offer one. So give it a try if you're uncertain give it a try, but be aware "Don’t plan on hard-resetting your device as part of a trial?" is right there on the page.

I poked around their site, did a search, and didn't see anything regarding a its ability to survive a hard reset. I'd expect to test it with a hard reset. Is it that easy to get around or did they cook some magic into it?

Sprite Terminator Suvives On Hard Reset (Kaiser)
I spent hours working out how to do this but I have been able to cook a rom with Sprite Terminator installed and configured. Now when your device is hard reset, Sprite Terminator continues running fully featured and hidden! If anyone thinks this might be helpful let me know.
Here is a similar program if your pda gets lost/stolen
It's also free!
StealSafe (WM5, WM6)
by ZEDSOFT Hungary Ltd.
With this application you can delete all your Appointments, Contacts, Messages, Tasks and/or your Storage Card with a simple SMS.

I am very interested if you all can get this into an OEM. I just purchased both Terminator and Backup and would like to see Terminator survive a hard reset as well. I do use UC but if I wiped the SD card then a hard reset would not install it.
I have been using Remote Tracker for the last couple of months and it does practically everthing sprite does except it is free. check it out

So it works with CDMA and not just GSM networks? I like the Terminator as I can wipe the unit clean. I didn't see that as a feature here, but I do like that it is custom ROM capable so I can cook it in my ROM and it will survive a hard reset.

That looks way complicated. I guess we are just looking for an OEM folder to put in the Kitchen to include when we cook a ROM. Like the Chess game I have attached is an OEM folder in my kitchen.

So does this program enable gps to get a fix before it sends the location ?
Is it possible to send a sms to prime the gps ?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Answer to the first question is yes. It will not send an SMS with a GPS fix until you send it the GPS command. Then it will wait (and eventually timeout) until it gets a GPS fix. I don't know what the timeout is (nor is it configurable) but it is quite a long time. If it does not get fix, you get an SMS saying no GPS fix was possible.
Answer to the second question, there is no need since the timeout is quite a while.

[CONCEPT] SMS Counter

Hello Folks,
It’s been around a month since I’ve joined xda-developers and I have had a chance to get some of the best stuff for my HTC Touch Diamond from here. I think it’s time for me to return the favor and give back something to the community.
SMS Counter
For some time now I have been searching for a *FREE* application that basically can tell me how many SMSes I’ve sent. Thus, if I have a free message sending limit in my plan, I can know if I’ve exceeded it or not. Unfortunately, I could not find any. The only good application that I know currently doing this is the 'Efficasoft smartphone sms counter'. (Though, If there is such application and if I’ve missed it, someone please bring it to my attention)
And thus, I thought of making one!
Possible Features
I spent some thinking about it and I figured that I can add a few more features to make this application a bit more, well, feature rich. The next post lists the features that I have currently is my mind. Based on your suggestions/feedback, I will change the list.
Development Platform
I will be making this application in .Net Compact Framework v3.5 / C#. Thus, people wishing to use this app will need the Compact Framework installed on their devices.
Devices
At the moment I’m planning to make this only for the HTC Touch Diamond. Once the app is a success and if it has a good demand, I can plan on porting it to other devices as well.
Pricing
If everything goes as planned and if this application sees the light of the day, it will be available for everyone to download for FREE, ALWAYS!
So my fellow community members, please think about this and give me your valuable feedback. I want to know your suggestions, your ideas. Do we really need this app in the first place? Is there something better already available? If we need it, how can we make it acceptable to a wider range of audience? Do we add more features or do we just put the most basic features? Lot of questions and your answers are welcome.
Thank you!
[CONCEPT] SMS Counter - Possible Features
Below are the possible features that I am currently thinking of implementing:
Determine number of sent and received messages.
Filter options: Within a date range, to/from specific person, etc.
Trends: Whom I’m messaging most and who is messaging me the most.
Cost calculation based on plan but to be override-able for any given month.
Suggestions welcome!
there is hs++ wich, among many others, have option of counting sent and recived mesages
but i like your idea
to list of features i`d suggest to add
autoresponse (to contacts from adress book when i cannot answer or read message or recive call)
setting message to send at precise time
PowerSMS is one such software. But it is not a freeware.
www.trinketsoftware.com
of course i know PowerSMS
it also has a lot more cool features
but, as you mentioned, it`s not freeware

And it has it's own limitations too. For e.g. I would prefer a graphical chart when I'm seeing statistics, this is something which I would like to incorporate in my own app.
Yet, it seems the response for this is pretty much zero and people are not very keen to have this application.
I like the Idea of the statistics (with chart! ) sounds funny to know who gets the most sms from me (and to see who don't linke me and never or seldom sends me sms back )
I think the features are okay for now keep it as simple as possible
is it going to work in the background ? i mean consume memory and cpu power all time.
i am looking for a call time and sms counter, something simple that i can reset every month (maybe even with an option to reset automatically at a given date each month).
it was built in with my sony erricson T650 and maybe any other phone. but nothing simple at the diamond (havnt seen any sms counter built in).

No, it's not going to work in the background, the user will have the option to manually update stats after he starts the program or they will be calculated automatically when the program starts; whichever the user prefers.
Yes, I can add the option of resetting the stats manually or on a date specified by user, nice suggestions ice2k2, thanks.

That sounds good, just calculate when the user is ready to use, not always in the background more free Ram on our Diamonds! The reset on a specified date is also a really nice idea, yes!
Whats about a "constant" statistic, that shows the statistic from begining, and we can seperate in to monthly? So we can see in wich month we texted the most? And we could use the overall stats to calculate an wich (week)day we send the most sms

You mean maitaining the statistics cumulatively? I don't see how that's possible with the 'reset' option. When a users resets the data, all previous stats are lost and that's its exact purpose. Though, feell free to correct me if i'm wrong and explain what you want in detail, possibly with an example. Thanks,

Like in the car. you have a constant counter of your km/miles, and a "small" one for the time you go to refuel.
so lets say, I want to know how many sms I send since I load my prepaid card (but also a constant statistic )
small counter/reset function = time since reload the prepaid-card / refuel the car
background (full)statistic = overalltime statistic with monts/(week)day stats / km/miles since you bought the car
hope thats make my sugesstion clear

Thanks for the analogy tomoffel, it's much clear now.
Yes, this feature will be available, though I'll have to work out the exact mechanics of it. Thanks for the suggestion!
sounds good
If I can help you, let me know, I have a hermes(qvga) wit 6.1(crc) running on it, with around 6000 sms (atm not active) and a Diamond(VGA) with 6.1(Gen.Y) and around 600 sms.
Thank you!

I think its simple, just use two counters: one is "resetable" the other is not.
i guess it means double the data and double the reading/writing cycles but im sure there is a way to optimise it with simple procedure.

Great, thanks tomoffel. I'll plan to start development on it by the first week of September and have a beta ready by the end of second week. I'll keep you posted.

Yes, I've got the idea. I'll have to find out a way to optimize it, which I will.
Thanks ice2k2!
