Call timer program

Hi all,
I've had a search for this but can't find any solutions.
Unless i'm being really stupid I xcan't find a way to make my XDA mini S count only OUTGOING calls. Basically, I get 100 free minutes a month and currently have no idea how many I am using. The only thing I can get the phone to count is a total of in and outgoing calls which is utterly useless.
Any suggestions?
Alex

DkToday is the app you need, it counts outgoing calls and sms. You can set the date you want to roll-over as well ( my minutes are round up and charged to me every 11th of the month.) I'll attach two files here. First install version 1.69, then replace with the dll in version 1.80. good luck!

Where's the setting options in dktoday?

Sorry, I forgot to mention that. Go to start-settings-today-items and tap the DKToday Plug-in. Then select options on the right side of the plug-in list, and the options menu pops-up.

When you say replace the DLL do you mean simply install the older version then copy and paste the new version into the install location?
Many thanks

Yes. If I remember correctly, the 1.80 cab only contains the .dll file and not the complete program. Simply installing the 1.80 cab should work, but not without having 1.69 installed first. So simply install version 1.69 and then install 1.80 over the old version.

Ah brill, have got it working. So if i tap on the phone icon is it meant to take me to missed calls? It doesn't seem to wor. The bluetooth one does. And what is the bar in the top right? battery? Is there a way to turn that off?

Downloaded this but cannot install on the Wizard.
Two files nether of which will install.
00CAB2BE.001
0DKTODAY.000
How do I get this on ?

the bar in the top right is a signal strength indicator, it shows you how strong your signal to the nearest GSM transmitter is, like the phone icon in the top bar. Clicking on it turns your screen off. Tapping on the phone symbol only works when you have a missed call. It then pops-up a screen, asking you if you want to call back the number you have not answered. It will not take you to the missed call section like the dialer does when you press the calls button there.
Disabling some lines in the plug-in can be done in options, by selecting which lines ( 1, 2 or 3) it should show.

@Nikko2: copy the cab files to your device using Active Sync or Explorer, than execute them from there, first 1.69, then 1.80. Choose Device as install location and it should work.

It doesn't count the sms. I have 150 and it comes out 000

Same here. App is not counting the text messages.

It first starts counting when you recieve an SMS. The only problem i have with that is that it counts my deliverynotifications as well. So it allways counts +1 when i sent a sms and get the notification. It doesn´t count how many sms you have in your inbox

Problem is, mine doesn't count in or out going sms. at all.

DKToday only counts sms delivery notifications. Be sure to turn that on. When you type a new message, go to menu-options and check the box. When the delivery notification is received by your phone, the app counts 1 sent sms. There is a way to turn these delivery notifications permanently on. I have posted this in a similar thread and it is also posted in the original thread on this program. use the search.
Be sure to verify if your provider charges you for these notifications, because some do. In Holland these notifications are free of charge, but that does not always go for other countries, so be sure to check this to avoid nasty surprises on your bill.

dktoday seems to make my wizard/cingular8125 run really slow. Anyone else notice this?
What happens if you don't install 169 before 180?

Use CalltimeApp - the perfect solution for keeping track of sent text messages, MMS and calltime...

Is it available in englis. Google only turned up german versions. I'd hate to have to learn another language just to track my SMS.

You may be right - I didn't know that...
But the program is very simple - I am sure you won't have a problem. I will email the developer and contact you in case he decides to make an english version - it can't be a big deal to translate the few menus...

Vito SMS-Chat

Heey everyone,
I am using Vito Sms-Chat on my HTC Touch but i don't get a delivery notification after sending a message. Does anyone know if it's possible to get one and if so, how to do so?
Thanx a lot in advance!
Lau

Seems like this would be a better question to ask VITO. Did you check the manual?

I've seen this discussed in other forums and as far as I know there is no solution to the problem yet. Manually editing the registry to change sent notifications doesn't work. It's something in the program itself that disables the notification. You can, however, visually tell onscreen whether the message has been sent or not. As the message is sending, the icon next to the message is orange. Once it has been sent the icon turns blue.

Hmm, yeah i can only see if it's being sent or not. Well that's at least something! I contacted Vito about it but they just reply with 'download the latest version of the program' which doesn't solve the problem.
Thanx for ur replies anyway!

Indeed, and if it's not sent, it turns red

I have no problem sending SMS with my touch dual 16 key.
Im testing the Vito SMS chat now and I love it, there are a few problems though.
1.) Does not work with the slide out keypad
2.) Does not work with the software touch keypad
So I use the software touch keyboard, so its a two handed job all the time.
3.) It moves all the SMS to a different folder.
So vito needs to work on these three things.
and if they can add:
-SMS Predefined groups.

No problem. HERE you can find Vito SMS Chat!

It already has one but works differently. When you send your message, you will see the message "sending" icon by it. When it is sent, the icon will change to the "sent" icon. This is basically your delivery notification.
EDIT: whoah this is definitely an old thread... whoops.

SMS Delivery Notification

Ok, maybe this aint completely a pure Xperia Issue, more a WM6.1 Issue. But maybe the solution might be? .. if there is any
I'm a guy that like to get Delivery Notification on my text messages,
not to be confused with Sent noticed, which I find kinda useless, you receive a error msg if the SMS isnt sent anyhow.
But back to the Issue, SMS Delivery Notification.
As it is, you send your SMS and then get a NEW SMS telling you that your SMS was delivered.
(And it dont even bother matching the number to your addressbook, wtf?)
How I want it to work, and had several cellphones that did, is to just flag your sent SMS as delivered.
Does someone share my frustration? or am I just a whining sob?
And does anyone have a solution to this highly annoying(according to me) problem?
Some kinda SMS client for Windows Mobile, or for the Xperia?
The Sent Notification isn't an issue
I don't like it, but I know how to turn it off.
--------
What I would like... is to have the Delivery Notification /Report,
not as a separate "sms" that dont match against your address book.
But as a "green flag" or something that indicate that your SMS has been delieverd.
Had this feature on my earlier devices, then the SMS-icon was a envelope(as it is now)
and to see that it was sent you saw a "stamp-icon" and when it was delivered it was a
green check flag i the corner of the envelope. Hope you understand me now

I feel your pain.... then I installed advance config and disable the delivery notification... since then, that I am a happy man

i saw this:

I think your talking about the Sent Notification, and I despise it ... disabled this too ... but the Delivery Notification I really like, so I can verify that my SMS reach its destination.

I have looked at this prog too, not used it thou ... It might be a good idea, but still dont understand why they didnt just flag you excisting SMS instead of creating a separate "reporting SMS", especially useless when it dont match the number with you addressbook, or it just me that have stopped memorize ppl:s numbers?

Okey I don't know if this is your answer but I've got a swe xperia as well.
I can write my way in swe and translate to eng but
in messages view, press meny -- verktyg -- alternativ -- SMS/MMS (i listan) -- Begär leveransmeddelanden
(menu -- tools -- alternatives -- SMS/MMS (from the list) -- Demand report on delivery)
This is deliveryreport and it works for me...
I shut off "Message Sent" xith Xperia Tweak from cliffords.

What network are you on? I know some carriers don't support the delivery notification feature, but on O2 in the UK if you add *0# to the beginning of your message it will send you an SMS back when it's been delivered.. works for me (and *0# are all conveniently placed next to each other on the X1 keyboard, how nice!)

Hehe... I use TELE2 ... and I DO get a Delivery notification /report.
I just dont want it as a separate SMS! or as it say a msg from "System Administator" telling me my SMS has been delivered.
if you read the post I have posted above, I try to explain this a few times.
I do appreciate all you guys trying to help thou!
Cheers!

Same here - Again, the problem is NOT that the delivery notification itself annoys us, we know how to turn it off or on. The annoying part is just the way of presenting the notification. All other phones I had so far (as a matter of fact only Nokias) had a special way of treating the incoming delivery notification, they did not display the notification like a normal text message, but rather marked the corresponding sent text message as "delivered". If I turn on the delivery reports on the X1, I get a new text message for every one I sent. That is stupid
What we are looking for is a way of making Windows Mobile 6.1 read the incoming delivery reports and mark the corresponding sent text messages. Or at least they should not cause the X1 to notify us as the same way a normal text message does (i.e. same sound, same message dialog, etc...). I want to know that a message has been delivered without first having to believe "I got a text message" and then seeing that it's only a delivery report...

Yep, I'm looking for a solution to this issue too. Having recently bought an HTC Touch HD, this is one thing that I think my old Sony Ericsson K610i handled much better.
Would be great to find some tweak that makes the phone treat delivery reports as a status change of the sent text message (sms), rather than as a separate message altogether.

So what you're trying to say is:
Now: - You get a seperate sms saying the message has been delivered.
What you want: - The message in the "sent" folder changes icon when delivered.
Is there a solution for this that anyone knows of?
Thanks,

Another thing with the delivery report. I once got one when my ringtones were turned off, but the sound came anyway. So my theory is that its recognized as a system message, not a SMS. System voulme was still activated. Anyone noticed that too?

Nope, sorry, I'm not much of a win-mobile-developer... However, I did find a small app that actually fulfills my wishes somewhat. It's not perfect, but it's better than the default delivery reports...
Have a look at this site and have a go at SMS Delivery Recipt Fix. The author is active here on the forum, so you can find lots of info on this app in several threads (after all, that's how I found it). I just tried it on my phone (HTC Touch HD running Win Mobile 6.1) and it works brilliantly. The status message is still delivered as a separate sms, but now it pops up in a bubble, and the option to delete it is right there with it. In my opinion, that's a lot better than having to go into the inbox, find the report, and delete it from there. I think I'll stick with this solution.

That bubble with the "delete" option is how it works for me..but this just came with win 6.1, nothing special installed for that feature. Still it would be good to see wich contact is reported about.
But as i read that "fix" is meant to also show the contacts name, i will try that.

Yes, I do feel a bit stupid here, but I realised later that the bubble popup notification is a built-in function of WinMo 6.1... I just hadn't properly understood how to enable it, that only became clear to me once I had installed the sms fix. But, the fix still does a nice thing, i.e. link the displayed number to a name, which looks a lot better.

Yes but from the screenshot is moves the delete link from onscreen to menu / delete..that would be annoying again. Is that right?

Not at all. Look at the screenshots again. The one with a menu is the "new message" notification... There you have more options like "call sender", "delete message", and so on. The first screenshot shows how the delivery report is displayed, and this comes with two on-screen options: dismiss and delete. No menus to navigate here.

Three questions about SMS

After searching the forum without success, I have these questions for you:
- How do I turn off the "message sent" windows that appears after having sent away an SMS? I'm not talking about the message I get if the phone company has delivered an SMS.
- If sending a long SMS (usually 2 x 160 signs = 320 signs), my htc changes to the third message already after 302 signs instead. I don't have this error if I type long mails with Jeyo Mobile Companion (there, the full length of 320 signs for 2 SMS are used). How do I tell my htc to behave normally?
- My thingy is storing sent SMS in the "sent" as well as in the "in" directory. How to get rid of this strange behavior?
A lot to think about, I know. Still, I hope to get your very much apprecitated answers. Thanks, though.

1) Go to sms tab > all messages > menu > settings and disable message sent notification
2) Are you using unicode characters, i.e. èêāú as they take up more than 1 character when using sms/mms etc
3) Are you using threaded sms as your sms appears as a conversation so you know what you sent previously. You can always turn off threaded sms style in settings

On the SMS tab, there is only "in" and "menu" available... If a screen shot is needed, let me know.

I'm not, just regular Umlauts (I usually send German SMS), they don't take more than one character.

To my knowledge, I don't use threaded SMS. Where exactly would I find those settings?
Best regards to Ireland from Switzerland.

I've used so many roms so its hard for me to remember exact locations especially on stock roms. To disable message sent you need to go to message settings. In sms tab go to menu > accounts or settings

Or Advanced Config 3.3

"SMS Sent" notification? Does the HD2 have it?

One thing I miss from my Touch Pro, is the little pop up confirming my SMS has been sent.
I can achieve a similar effect with delivery reports, but they make the same noise as receiving a text (which gives me false hope haha) and I have to delete them manually.

I believe some of the custom ROMs have this, but the stock 1.66 WWE HTC ROM doesn't.

Besides the explanation mark not being present, i dont believe it does. I havent tried myself but i remember someone mentioning it may have this but not in threaded conversation mode, when this turned off in the old message format (so you can see the sent folder etc).

ROMs based on 2.10 have it - and it's probably the most annoying notification ever! So glad Miri took it out of his...

If you need “SMS sent” notification, you can use “Zenyee Disable HTC Messaging 1.2.CAB” from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=631449
On my HD2 (official T-Mobile CZ ROM) it blocked conversation mode and restored it “SMS sent” notification.
