Does anyone know of a good call usage monitor. I use to have Phone Dashboard but I can't add this to the HTC Homepage. The call timer in Windows Mobile only monitors all calls not just outgoing calls, as far as I can see. Any ideas

Ummm....have you checked under the call history button on the dialer? When you launch your dialer, click on the call history button. If its showing you all calls click on menu-->filter and select only outgoing calls. It should show you only outgoing calls now as well as durations for each. At least that's how it is on WM6....I don't know if they've changed if for 6.1
Nope. You can view only the duration of the calls when you open Call History and select specific person in it. Or through Contacts -> Click contact -> Menu -> View all calls.
It is very disappointing, because at least I want to know the duration of the last call. Doesn't matter if I end up the call or the other party. This dialer doesn't show last call time!
Thanks [email protected].
However, the Call History lists all the calls made or have come in via the filter. However, I want to know how many minutes a month I have used and unless I try and add all the outgoing message together, I'm stuck.
Under Call History there is a button called menu which gives the option "Call Timer" but if you click on this it gives you the total number of calls made since last hard reset (I assume) and the number of minutes used since last reset. Most people, I would think, with a contract want to know the number of outgoing minutes since last reset (with reset being since the last cut off date for calls on their contract). This appears to be missing. Can anyone help or know a program that does this that could be intergrated with the HTC homepage.

I'll second that, any way of\software for knowing how many minutes have been used in the monthly bundle?
Try Home Screen Plus
Have you guys tried Home Screen Plus? Its a great piece of software...and If I'm not mistaken it does have a feature to track call timers etc. Give it a shot. Its free Make sure you download the latest version. I know of a lot of other older versions floating around.
that is a real cool app but also a little heavy just for the calltimer. Anything with a small footprint out there?
Thanks Guys. However, I want to keep the HTC homescreen but I don't think you can add bolt ons to it, so any homescreen add-on won't work. I need a program that runs on its own that monitors the minutes and then being able to access it via the programs tab.
Found - LCMinutes
Not the easiest to configure, but once you grasp the concept it's a doddle (and elaborate).
LCMinutes :X
so i played around with LCMinutes and all it did was give me a headache! lol
i found this and wanted to share:
hxxp://www.hudsonmobile.com/products/phodash/index.html
is very very neat and a very easy to configure
ta
I had heard it didn't work on the HD but if it does, how about sharing it on the wiki
Can anyone comment if this works with TF3D?
Call timer on Dutty´s Touch HD 2.1 is missing?
Hi there!
Anyone having problem with a missing call timer on Dutty's 2.1?
Or should I do a hard reset?
Thanks!
I am using phone dashboard which I find is very good and should suite your needs. Without Today screen it is a pain to use but still possible. Goto settings->Today then highlight the plugin and options. There is one tab which shows you the usage. But you have to "regenerate" the data before viewing.
Alternative, why dont you just run TouchFlo + Today screen (using TFD or SecondToday).
I know phoneAlarm also have a call duration tracking but phoneAlarm is just too much of hassle to configure.
Whipped up a program here that should allow you to automatically dial from your GV number. The only catch is, I don't have my account switched over yet, so I cant try it myself. You need to install 1 file, then use the program to apply the Google Voice settings. If this program works, please let me know, as well as let me know the optimal values for pause1 and pause2 (will have to experiment a little). To then dial via GV, right click (click-hold) the person in the contacts list and select Dial with Calling Card.
For Windows Mobile Pro, version 5.0 or later
.net 2.0 or greater required

CAB File

Google Voice Dialer Settings Program:
[Link Removed]
-----
Install Instructions:
1. Install CAB
2. Apply Settings via GVD
3. Reboot
EDIT: It should be noted, pause 1 is the pause between the call and the auto-entering 2, pause 2 is the pause before entering the number. 0 will wait for the send key, and each number after that is aprx 2 seconds. So a 4 would be 8 seconds (4 *2).

What is it exactly?? voice dialing and google?
I just upgrade my Grandcentral today..I'll give this a try and report back....Do I juss need to install the cab or also grab the exe?
edit: just read directions directly below lol I shall report back soon..so glad they added sms
doesn't seem to be work? I install the cab apply the settings (add my number and 1 for each of the other fields) and soft reset. use file explorer to open calling card folder and click on only icon (CallingCard.dll) avail I get the message: There is no application associated with "CallingCard". Run the application first, then open this file from within the application. any help? Something missing in the cab? though I'm far from the expert here
using Raph 800 stock rom if that helps any

To make calls you have to right click (click-hold) the person in your contacts menu. Think of this as an "extention" to your Contacts application.

The idea is, to make a call with your Google Voice showing in the caller ID, you gotta call GV first, then call out. This allows quick and easy integration.
Another note: If you had a plan from a certain carrier that allowed unlimited calling to one number, theoretically this would enable unlimited anytime calling, anywhere. Just throwing that out there...
I love the concept, but I'm not sure about the implementation. I don't use the default poutlook contacts app, I run pocket informant. Will this add the calling card menu there?
Any chance of making the calling card dial the default option, so that all calls (including calls dialed using the keypad, rather than contacts app) would route this way?
ETA: Just confirmed, this does not work with pocket informant.

The reason for doing this is to mainly test and see if this approach will work with Google Voice (cant try it myself yet, waiting for feedback). The implementation currently is, like you said, less than optimal, but was the quickest and easiest I could get. I didn't want to wrap up a lot of time if this dosen't work. Can you check, and if it does let me know the minimal values that work for the pauses? I intend to leave this option out on the future versions.

Sure, I'll just disable PI temporarily so I can use the default contacts app. Give me a few.
Ended up having to uninstall PI, I couldn't find the setting to change the shortcuts back to default with it still installed. Oh well.
Pause of 1 in both instances works fine, actually seems like it could be shorter, but of course 0 doesn't work that way.
You need to insert a # after the contact phone number is dialed. Right now it just sits there and I have to push # manually. (Or wait several seconds and then it goes through without the #)
The Touchtones when dialing the contact number are also probably a bit slower than necessary, but I'm not sure you can change that.
This program plus iDialer make a good combo for dialing out. GVD covers contact lists, and iDialer covers manual dialing.
oooohhh ok...so I just tried it and it calls sprint 411? - Scratch that had to input my number with the GVD tool again...

You put in your Google Voice number in the GVD tool?
When you try to make a call, what number shows up in the phone app as the number it's dialing?

it's showing my GV number now...sometimes it calls like it's checking my messages....and sometimes I can hear it get all the way to the prompt where its asking for the number to dial...then once it attempts to autodial it says the number is invalid....I think I need to play with the pause settings. ok while typing this I've had success...my settings were 1 then 2
1 and 1 worked smoothly for me on several tries. I wonder why 1 and 2 would be needed on yours, the 2nd pause really should be the same across all phones/networks I would think.
Did you press pound manually after the touch tones for the phone number were done?

Second this. Can you modify the program to insert # at the end?
btw, It works pretty good on my TP with pause 1 & 1. Thank you.

As far as I know iDialer doesn't work with google voice (atleast version 0.42).
What do you mean by manual dialing? Do you mean dial GV number + 2 + and actual number?
Ok guys, still working on adding in the #, as well as some other modifications. It's kinda hard working blind, but I hope to have something new here soon. Its also kinda hard doing this coding in VB, when I've never really studied it at all. Language similarity ftw.

With me everything is working properly when the phone is locked only on the screen touch a send a message and that's all
Hmmm,...I have it checkd but I don't believe anybody ever received an sms from me when I reject a call. Weird,..
Try QSMS To Buddy:FullFeatured free app from android market
It takes care of the situation you have explained. It not only allows you to send sms during rejected incoming calls. But it also allows the same when someone else rejects your calls (outgoing rejected): a feature never seen before.
Interestingly you have ability to modify the messages right when you are rejecting the call and sending the sms. e.g. instead of saying "call you back later" you can change it to "call you back in a min"
Demo at youtube: search : "QSMS : Quick SMS To Buddy Android App by Onion Systems"

Reject++
If you are looking for an app to let you reject incoming calls with predefined or custom SMS and setup a reminder to return a call as well..

QText app has been on my Fav list
QText is the most professional application in the category. I tried many apps and none of them allow you to do below two things
1. Change the message before sending it: e.g. send "will call in a minute" instead of "will call you back later"
2. Send text for outgoing calls as well.
Auto text widget is also included.

Hi everybody,
I had this function before upgrading to JB 4.1.2, but nolonger now?
I wonder if someone can tell me how to get it back.
Thanks.
Works fine on WM6.5 & if need enhance the possible options further then Maicall is probably the answer as can handle sms replies as a whole & individually per number etc & rules can be listed in order of checking.
Far better than any of the Android options I have tried & reminds me why my daily work device is still an HD2 on WM6.5.x .
Hi guys, I've just moved over from iphone so still finding my feet with android.
For the most part android is far superior but the contact side of things is still bugging me. This is what I want to be able to do:
1. Have my call log as calls only, not texts. I know you can change this to view calls received, dialled etc, but it soons defaults back and shows everything. I just want my log to have dialled and received and nothing else? I'm sure i've read somewhere on the net that this was possible on the SGS through a hack??
2. I want to set up a favourites list of say best mate, gf, work etc and just be able to press their name and it dials there number, not opens another window that shows history, text option, dial option video call option, i.e. just direct dial. I also would like this to be the first screen that opens when I press my phone icon on the dock??
I've set my gf up on my desktop as a direct dial shortcut, but I don't want to be doing that for everyone. I've got a load of contacts but maybe only dial 10 at most on a regular basis.
are there any hacks or thrid party dialers that do this??
Cheers
Lee

I can help you with #2. Just swipe right on your favorite and you call that favorite immediately. Swipe left to immediately send a message.

hmmm, can't say i can see a way around No.1, other than using a new dialer/contacts app such as Go Contacts or Dialer One etc..
must say, i actually quite like the comprehensive log, coming from Sense and Stock roms with calls only, i like having it all in one place...
Dialer One would be my choice, but only as i used it on CM7 on my Hero for its smart dial feature... can't comment on Go Contacts
hope this helps
Dickie
I use loads off texts a day so within 10 mins of dialling someone their details are long gone
I'll check out Go Contacts and Dialer One though, thanks for the recommendations
This is a Samsung thing, regular android does not put texts with the call log. I don't think I'd like them to be combined like that.
it is the right thing to do

Been asked before, but no answer.
I'll be moving cities and will have to change VOIP number. I still want to be able to use the original number to be usable without having to log in and out to switch.
If i can run the voip app twice simultaneously, I'd be able to send and receive calls & texts from both (just have to switch application).
my best option so far is to use call forwarding to send the calls from one account to the second, but in this case I won't be receiving texts and i wont be able to call from the account I'm forwarding.
maybe there's a way to rename all the system files of one of the apps so my phone treats the two as completely different apps; allowing me to install and run both?
Thanks for the help

Unfortunately, this is not possible at the moment with stock Android. Unless you have a Galaxy S (3 and above with Touchwiz) device with has that split screen feature that allows multiple apps to run at the same time. Even so, there's only a limited number of apps (if im correct that will run like this)

I don't think it's possible even on multi window, where two different applications can be run on split screen. He wants to run the same application at the same time as 2 different applications. Currently ( and may be never ) there is no way of doing this.

i didnt really understand what you meant to say, but if you want to run 2 apps at the same time, use multiwindow/halo
if you wanna keep 2 copies of the same app,you need a rom with multiuser support
I've been able to install the same app twice but it needs to have a different signature than the original. Maybe try extracting the app and recompile with the generic signature and it might work.

This. Which means you are going to have to hack the app packages and fool android into thinking that they are different apps with the same name.
