hey...
first... i already used search function...
since yesterday ive got a 1 gb data flatrate for my x1... ... is it possible to monitor the traffic i use or to log the traffic or what else... i tried spb wireless monitor already but its too much, big etc... im just looking for a small tool
Hi,
I use SPB Wireless Monitor and haven't had any issues.
It lets me set the day my billing cycle resets, the data plan I have and alarms if I exceed a daily or monthly amount of data.
It also lets you see what apps are using data.
from my time here,, spb is the most mentioned.. prob there arnt any more good ones out there
homescreen++ has a data counter, also one for sms and call times, resets also automaticly on a preset data, no statistics which program used how much though..ah yes, its free

I have been looking everywhere for some software that will tally the total call duration, SMS use and GRPS usage within set periods so that I dont go over my allocated free minutes.
Preferably im after something free but I will settle for a paid up version if its decent and cheap...... and theres no warez alternative (joke - dont ban me :wink: )
The one I have been using since I purchased the XDAII is Spb GPRS Monitor, it only monitors GPRS but I have been very happy with it.
that rocks, thanks
Now just need to nail SMS and Calls and im an extatically happy bunny
Hi everyone - been doing a search for a small app that records the outgoing call duration and is resettable but can't find one anywhere. Does anyone know of such an app that will run under WM5?
It's just to make life that bit easier as O2 expect you to call (& pay) their Customer Services to get an update on how many of your free minutes you've used at any point in the month. A bit Dark Ages if you ask me!!!
Any help much appreciated. :lol:
the answer seems to lie in the registry....
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/shell/cumulativecalltimers/line_0/
AllCurrent
AllCurrentNumCalls
AllPhoneLifeTime
AllPhoneLineTimeNumCalls
IncomingVoiceCurrent
IncomingVoiceCurrentNumCalls
IncomingVoicePhoneLifeTime
OutgoingDataCurrent
OutgoingDataCurrentNumCalls
Now all we need is some smart person to write us an app that shows us how many minutes of calls we've made (with an option to reset) and how many bytes of GPRS data we've bought....

start -> settings -> system -> device information -> Call duration
Will give you outgoing and incoming call duration.
Have a look at MortScript if you want to make a "tool" to display/reset all the values from the registry.
I thing what you need is Phone Dashboard. Google it, download it and see what info it can give, its great
Regards
This (free) script displays the values from the registry and asks if you want to reset "current" counters.
I can't find the "OutgoingData" counters in my registry. So I can't help you with GPRS counters.
I haven't tested it much, but it seems to work on my K-jam, ROM version 2.16.9.1.
It does mess with the registry so I suggest making a backup first if you want to try it. You also need to install MortScript:
http://www.sto-helit.de/modules/edito/content.php?id=38
search for DKToday. It counts your outgoing minutes and sms and can be set to reset on a specific date. For me, my free minutes are calculated per the 11th of each month, so each 11th of the month my timer will be set to 0. The prog can be found in the forum, just do a search on it.
Show call and data timers (from registry)
a small mod from the great script above...
this one doesn't do a reset (as I didn't want to loose data) but does display the data counts from the registry as well.
don't know if it's specific to the i-mate K-JAM AKU2 ROM and only tested on my unit, but have fun!

I want data counters too!
Are you using the same rom as me (I-Mate 2.16.9.1)? I still can't see the data counters in my registry. And I DO use gprs every day.
Have you installed something else that counts gprs trafffic and updates these registry values??
I would like an SMS counter too. I tried searching for it in the registry but couldnt find any.
Maybe I have to change to something else, like DKtoday or something, but i really do not like today plugins or programs that need to run continously.
very strange.
I've not installed any other third party apps to count GPRS data (was looking for a freebie!) or done anything out of the ordinary that I can remember since upgrading.
Do you have your machine set for ActiveSync / Direct Push? I use that as well as browsing the web. On the subject of trawling the web it appears that the CumulativeCallTimers is one of the reigstry keys which can be controlled by OEMs but as the phones are the same I'm surprised if there is any difference
ROM is 2.16.9.1 WWE (ExtROM 2.16.9.101)
What happens if you add the registry entries (BTW - what happens if you run my version of the script that looks up the entries - I've never used MortScript before so wasn't sure... I love Terry Pratchet as well!)

I tried creating the registry keys, setting the values to 0. Browsed a bit via gprs but the values don't change...
Maybe its the push mail (that i don't use) that creates these values. Can you check if the values increase if you use internet explorer, or if it's only measuring the push-mail-data?
Your code looks good to me, I've just started using MortScript too, because i wanted an easy way to keep track of what i call "real" uptime, average uptime and total number of reboots.
Where does Terry Pratchet fit in?
the values increase with web browsing as well as the DirectPush mail (did a quick Google search and the numbers went up), only on GPRS not on WiFi (so although it says Data it's not getting confused)
The Terry Pratchet reference... Mort was a character (and the title) of one of his Discworld books. Sto-Helit is the name of a city on Discworld (where Mort, who becomes Deaths apprentice ends up as Duke). They are very funny books
I see. Thanks for testing it.
I dont have an exchange server that supports direct push, so i don't know how to get the counters "started" on my device.
Maybe I should read some of his books then - an ebook perhaps
I found a free pushmail exchange thing (mail2web.com) and set up an account, so now I have my push email set up on the phone too. But still no data counters. I've given up
how have you set this up? read the page, but it is not clear to me how it enables push email...
I didn't think the maIl2web solution was the new DirecgtPush email (as supported by the AKU2 ROM upgrade), more the 'old-school' SMS notification service.
The best (ie has a free 14 day trial and is good value) one I've found for small users without their own Exchange solution is 4SmartPhones (which is who I'm using - I push my normal mail to their hosted Exchange and it appears in my PC Outlook and on my phone by magic THey also have step-by-step instructions to make setup really easy

You are probably right, I will try 4smartphones as soon as their webpages start working...
"Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."
weird, they've been pretty well behaved in IE.
Try this link or just type in www-dot-4smartphones-dot-net and see if that behaves!

Don't work. Not in IE, not in PIE, not in Firefox...
it's weird... it seems on the first visit to the link it writes a cookie and then redirects to the wrong place, second visit works (at least that's what seemed to happen when I just tried in PIE)
the raw link (to the homepage) should work fine as that's not doing any redirects that I can see
I found something called http://www.4smartphone.no and set up a test account there. Could this be the norwegianified version of "your" 4smartphone service?
They say its "Direct Push", and i can start/stop it using the "direct push" button in the comm manager. Does this mean it's "real" direct push?
This did not do anthing to my data counters though. still at 0...
So there must be something else that starts these counters...
Have you set up the gprs connection by using the imate "select your provider" thing, or have you set it up manually?
Hi guys, recently I picked up the O2 UK Trion aka Hermes. On the whole I am quite pleased, however I'm missing one very essential application (which I've got used to on my previous Sony Ericsson K800). Namely, the ability to monitor how many text and picture messages are sent, how much data is being trafficked, and how much outgoing call usage has been made. The beauty of my previous phone is that I could reset the counters each month, when my bill had come through and my monthly allowance was re-started.
Does anything like this exist for this phone? Is it built in or does it require separate software installed?
Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated as at the moment trying to remain frugal in my use of this phone is going to be difficult if I can't monitor how much of each type of communication has been happening each month.
Anyone want to help me out here? Even just an opinion would be nice...
DKToday will sit on your home screen and show your call times for the month, the day and how many SMS you've sent, and reset automaticly each month.
SPB GPRS Monitor will monitor your data connection for you.
Ikarus's battery status will do just about everything you need it to, its a great app and its one of my personal favs that i cant live without..

Thanks guys, sorry if I seemed impatient, it was just really bugging me.
Gonna try out the Battery Status plugin, looks like it will do the job.
Hi All,
I've searched an searched, but can't find a solution for my problem:
I use Exchange at work, so I use Pushmail on WM^(HTC TyTN). But of course I use popmail for my personal email. I have Outlook Mobile set to send/receive every 60 minutes. And everything is working fine. Untill here, there's no problem.
However; more and more people are trying to sell me Viagra, penis-anlargers, Russian brides and all that sort of stuff. Normally I'd just delete them, but I'm receiving emails at night. I know I can switch the retreival to "manually" every night, and then back to "every 60 minutes" every morning, but there must be a better way.
I've seen a program as described at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316696, however, this is not a background-app.
Does anyone know of a way to alter the schedule for Outlook Mobile in the same way as ActiveSync? So I can use peak-times and off-peak-times?
Help is much appreciated!
Sometimes, I seriously wonder if these viagra business model does actually works.
Anyway, does switching off your phone (e.g. having it offline, no email, no calls, no SMS) an option? there are a few programs around that can switch your phone on/off on night times.

It would be, but part of my job is the "stand-by" service. In case one of our clients has an emergency...
If you can find some program that stop your data signal, you can consider using this scheduling program http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294575
I think there is a NoData software that stops your phone from having data connection.

My data connection usually auto-connects, so I don't know if that would do the trick... Is there no way of "hacking" the schedule?
Found a workaround
I use PhoneAlarm, and I just set the "night" profile to not do anything on new email...
That'll have to do for now.... But still looking...

I'm all for this too..
It would be nice to have a 3rd party app that can more directly configure your AS/Push schedule. Right now, peak and off-peak is just too limited.
Some days I want full Push, others I want every 60 minutes, night I want on Manual, etc. It'd be nice to do day-by-day with options for full-push, every 15, 30, 60, etc..
True, Phonealarm does this but if all you want is a more robust AS syncing scheduler, it's very overkill.
If someone could do make an "advanced AS scheduler" program, that'd be quite popular I imagine (I'm surprised it hasn't been done already. Bruce at pocketmax.net shows it can be done for most devices...)
Does anyone know of a simple sms counter for Pocket PC. I have been googling for a while an all I can find is Efficasoft SMS Counter for Smartphone. I just don't want to get caught going way over my texting plan limit. I'm not looking for a complicated sms app that has all kinds of bells and whistles, just a simple sms counter. Any help would be appreciated.
Will this do?
http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_BatteryStatus_XDA_Neo_WM5_iM_cs.htm
Please note that this program has many additional features, but will also keep track of your calls, SMS, data transfers, etc etc.
Pretty good in my opinion
LCMinutes

Isn't LCMinutes good for you ?
Basically LCMinutes is an application that keeps track of phone calls and text messages (SMS), calculates their charge based on user defined rate plan, and thus keep user informed of the up-to-date balance information: like current charges, used free minutes, used free messages, expire date for prepaid plans, etc.

Sorry, I should have searched here first! Sorry to waste your time! Thanks for the quick replies!!!
Efficasoft smartphone sms counter works on pocket pc and seems to be the most accurate for recording every sms sent. I would like it to put an icon and total on the today screen, but it doesn't have that feature. I have assigned it to the 2nd press of my internet explorer button and this works well. You set how many free texts you get per month and it keeps a running total and % remaining
I found battery status didn't pick up every sent text, so the total was very inaccurate
LC minutes looked messy in my opinion
Hope this helps
