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...

Soft reject software?

Anybody using a good soft reject software? Which can send an automated SMS back? I was using Call Assitant 1.0 but its gving me problem after the ROM upgrade. Anyone know or use a nice workable one, preferably free? Thanks.

this one works for me...

Try call sms blocker, i have it installed but haven't blocked anyone yet :|

Nice but...

Thanks for the prog. Works fine - as of now. Only that the Call Assistant had more options, like chosing which numbers to send eg some land line numbers here don't receive SMS so you could predifine those types of numbers, several "profiles". Anyway until I find a right replacement this should do.

yeah, i wish the same also.. it was something i picked up somewhere.. dont remember, but thought it was cool

yeah - but it will come back every time you exit and press Phone again, also, there is no option to display ALL Call Logs, either ALL or individuals....
We need to get rid of the SMS log entirely... or at least the option whether to log it or not...

i found a (kinda) solution, but you'll have to install GoSMS from the market. Anyway it's an awesome sms app, i used to use Handcent and Chomp but finally settle for this.
Under Settings---> Receive Settings , check "Disable other message notification".

check it out

This better as you don't have to install a whole new ROM:

Calls & Text Messaging WORKS

I just got my A500 yesterday and spent all night and day trying to figure out if it was possible to make phone calls, receive phone calls, send and receive text messages. Finally found the solution and it works great. Its a given that you will need to be on Wifi or 3G (tethering or Portable WLAN). Using a FREE app called Viber allows you to make FREE calls and text messages over Wifi and 3G/4G to other Viber users (Android and iOS), what sets this app apart from others is that it maintains your phone #, no need for a new #, pin or username. Only problem is that upon setup the app requires to send you a text message to verify your phone number to setup your account, which is NOT possible on the Acer. I found a simple work around this to problem, so here we go!
What you need:
1. Rooted phone (Android of course)
2. Viber App, its FREE (attached) (Phone ONLY)
3. Rooted Acer
4. Titanium Backup (Installed on both devices)
Instructions:
1. Install Viber on your phone and set up your account, very simple and fast.
2. After installation and confirmation (important: I would make a call or send a few text messages to make sure it's working),
3. Open Titanium Backup and make a back up of Viber
4. Transfer the back up of Titanium Backup to your Acer, make sue you place it the correct folder: sdcard/TitaniumBackup (or where ever you store your Titaniun Backups on your Acer).
5. Open Titanium Backup on your Acer and Restore the Viber app with data
That's it you can now make calls and text messages using Viber, the voice quality is awesome and the speaker is loud and clear!
Hopes this helps, it did for me
You can send invites to your contacts within the Viber app, once someone installs and setups Viber you will receive a pop up notice.
***Do NOT run Viber on both devices at the same time, it may cause FC and routing calls/text messages to the wrong device, simply shut down Viber (More>>Exit) on the device you are not using***

how can you do it?

Decent find on making an app work. Question, what's wrong with Skype or gtalk?

I still want an app that enables an android phone tether with the acer iconia via bluetooth,usb or wifi and you are able to text and call people on your tablet.

As for me... I have 16 family/friends on gtalk (only 4 sign on & more than half the time they never notice I sent them a message, "I didnt know") or they are NEVER signed on, either they dont know how to sign on or dont use it at all. Skype, I have 0 family/friends that use it and I not to crazy about it... I just like the simplicity of Viber and ease of use, when you get a text message a pop up appears (like HancentSMS) and you can reply right from there.
I guess what it comes down to is personal preference

would this conflict with google voice?

No not at all, thats the beauty of this app, it does NOT use your google voice number. It uses your actual cell number
I've been using Viber on my phone along with google voice and when people call or text me using Viber it does not effect google voice at all.

Awesome! Works great only downside I found is it will auto rout to the tab unless you turn it off when trying to call to the phone!
But that is minor compared to the awesomeness of the text and calling.! I love how I do not have to leave the app im in to reply.
Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for this tip. I just got it on my tab and placed a call and its great. The odd force close, but otherwise great

Yeah, you really shouldnt have both Viber services running on both devices... Turn one off when using another (guess I should add that to the OP)
The pop up is awesome, dont need to leave your current app to reply

The FC happens here and there, mostly when running Viber on both devices, close one before starting the other and you should be good to go!

Okay just so I'm clear on how viber works... The person i'm sending the text/call to must also have viber installed correct?

+1. If I can't get my friends and family to use Skype etc they're not going to use this.

Yes that is correct... The FREE app can be found in the Market (Android) and in the App Store (Apple iOS)

The difference is that this app runs in the background, your friends and family DONT need to log in, when you call from Viber the phone rings right away, just like your stock phone app does (its just purple). When you text someone a pop up appears on the screen... see attachements
(Yes I have a friend that's a d!ck head and a brother I call Monster)

perhaps a silly question, but it wasnt specified... does the phone need to be pluggd into the tab for this to work? r once its set up it will function as long as there is wifi?

No it does not ... You can leave the phone at home, car or wherever. As long as you have some sort of data connection, whether it be wifi or tethered 3g/4g

Had that happen to me. Goto Messages App. Top right settings, then More Settings, Then text messages, then Message center. Make sure theres a phone number there. Thats the ATT phone number for text. If you dont add this +13123149810 you must have the + sign also. Hope that helps

Ya that happened to me as well. Just went missing. Thats how i found out the missing number. Was comparing all my settings to my daughters s7 edge.

Similar thing happened to me, I was receiving text messages ok, but could not send them out. The AT&T number at the message center was there correctly. (+3123149810) If it happens to you, go to your APN settings and make sure all MMS Port numbers are input correctly, mine were missing, for some strange reason. All good now.
