I've been looking for a nifty gprs monitor application. SBP's is kind of cool, but it's got all that extra junk - the battery monitor and the brightness controls. Does anyone else make a nice one?
SBP is excellent. You can remove the "junk" in the Today Settings/Items/Options
There is a GPRS counter on the xda application disc. I have it installed, its great, can work out ur bill n stuff
counter
moonmonkey,
can U post that piece of soft here ? :roll:
SBP GPRS Monitor is amazing, am using it since a long time.
The most interesting thing is that, whenever you make a hard reset, you won't lose your data, since it stores the data files in the my documents folder.
It also measures the battery level & the connection speed & block size.. has cool interface

hello...
i am just in the process of buying an xda on contract from o2.
With the contract i get free txts's, minutes, wap and data.
But i was wondering is there a piece of software that allows you to track how many txts's, minutes, wap and data that you have used?
I ask this beacuse i wish to keep an eye on my allowences, so i dont go madly over them.
Thanks for your help

I guess you get a certain amount free, not totally free? So there is not an ALL-inclusive counter you have to do a little work on your end but can be done.
There are several data counting/GPRS counters online at any of the software vendors like handango & pocketgear. There is also a little app in the windows folder called ByteCounter.exe that does the same thing for free, but I can't figure out how to reset it between months, plus I don't count. So, that should take care of your Data counting needs.
In Inbox, make a folder on your main list in SMS account called SentReceived. Now when ever your billing period resets just move all the items you receive and send into this folder and it will keep a count at the bottom for you.
In the Setting, System, Device info the phone keeps track of your call duration. Simple note where you start at each billing cycle and count from there.
I know it would be nice if there was an all inclusive software that did this, but for now this is as good as it gets
Last suggestion make a text file and keep the totals of each data, minutes, & SMS for easy tracking or accounting. If you want to get fancy you can make an excel spreadsheet on the desktop with auto sum parameters and copy it to your XDA now when ever you need to update you minutes or GPRS or what not you just click the cell and input +whatever and it updates keeping a running log.
Anyway, that’s the best I can come up with if anyone else knows of cleaner way or of some fancy software please post
THANKS!
yeah i think i will have to do it that way....i still need to figure a way to count for wap...beacuse im sure that would be counted as call duration.
any way thanks
jay
I could be wrong but when you use a CSD connection (data over dialup/Wap) it will log as minutes in the phones minute counter, so you should be ok. If your wap is over GPRS then data will count in bytecounter or GPRS counter program of your choice.
Over the last two weeks the clock on my T-Mobile Pocket PC Phone has gotten a little bit behind and now it is about 20 minutes behind which is obviously no good! I can not just adjust the time because it obtains the time from a satelite or whatever, not from an internal setting on the phone. Any ideas on how I can fix this?
1. Make it synchronize the clock on ActiveSync connection.
2. Deactivate all other synchro options (internet, satelite...).
PS: I'm really interested in how you obtain satelite settings! :?:
How do I do the second point you made?
As for the satelite thing, it is late. You know how it is!
I mean if you use any additional software that has this function - weather Today plug-ins, gps, some web pages allow to do so... As far as I know OS can not do it by itself.

google knew
OS can not do it by itself...
yeah i know just posted an url to a program which would sync
then of cause one may want to make sure that it dont sync the clock with the desktop clock if thats not sync'd
By the way, the program you posted might be useful!
The inly disadvantage is it's size. I expected it to be 100-200kb, but it has almost a meg!
Any alternatives?

world mate but thats even bigger about 2MB

Thanx a lot!
Hi, Anybody knows if there is currently available a titanium panel for speedcam alerts?
If not, would anybody be willing to create one?
I have some ideas of how this could work, but I have no idea how to develop it..
here are some thoughts:
Condensed pannel:
- show the current speed and alerts from speedcams (when activated)
Activated pannel
1st page - on/off button and connectivity status
2nd page - current speed, speedcam proximity and alert, buttons to add and remove speedcam (2)
The speedcam information would come from a csv file loaded by the user..
something like this...
What do you guys think?
+1 great idea. Can't do it myself but hopefully someone can/wants.
Lets just hope that someone with developping skills take interest on this one..
Nobody interested in this?
up...
Would this be too complex to achieve?
guess not everybody knows what ur talking about ...
what is a speedcam? A camera to make highspeed videos (500 fps)?

I assumed this would be a known term.. This has nothing to do with the camera function of your mobile. It is related to the traffic cameras that takes pictures of your car when you exceed the speedlimit of a given street thus resulting in a traffic ticket.
Most GPS/routing applications (Garmin, Igo etc.) have the capability of showing alerts when you approach one (if you load the POIs for them). There are also some specific applications that also perform this function (RadarFree), however most are limited to a specific region and already have an automatic update function for the POIs of its speedcams locations which makes the app useless in other countries.
There are quite a few sites around the world that are currently tracking speedcam locations based on user inputs. These locations can often be downloaded on csv format (usually a few others as well) by everyone.
The idea of this pannel is to display the information you need straight from our homescreen without the need to open a different screen to load it, and also to allow the user to input his list of speedcams (this way it can be used in any country).
Let me know if there are still any doubts regarding this.
cheers.

whats the advantage of a titanium panel? This program will talk to you, and its worldwide, and FREE.

For one this application requires internet connection and you should have a reasonable data plan to be able to use it. Also this database isn't very updated in all countries.
The advantage of the pannel I'm suggesting is that it doesnt require an internet connection, the information will be easily displayed in your homescreen without the need to open an additional program which usually tends to lead to more RAM consumption, and you can use it anywhere you can download the information for.
Personally I see a lot of benefit in this when compared to the current solutions in place.
regards..
Another thing in comparison to trapster is that I don't need to see the map, I just want it to display the speed and the speedcam alerts. Such information would fit perfectly on a pannel in Titanium.
Try POI-Observer from navifriends.com
It's free, highly configurable, works standalone as well and will overlap any other window when approaching speedcam.
It's not however a Titanium panel but stays in background when no speedcam nearby.

Thanks for the suggestion SaBo, although it does have some of the functions I'm looking for it is not a simple tool to use. I actually needed to read the manual to understand how it works, plus I feel that you have put to much work to get it running.
I rather use something simpler, and would still like to see it in titanium..
tks
starting to loose hope here... really thought this would be a good idea for lots of you ...
Well... can't have it all can we?
refresh...
Added a poll just to see how many would be interested in such app...
Guys im looking for an app that detects stationary and mobile speed traps, is there something like that for my X1? and X10?
Ive got the speedophone app for my X1 that measures speed as u drive n shows HUD on windscreen as u drive, i need an app that detects speed traps in South Africa...anything like it available?
www.trapster.com
looks cool, hope it can be useful thanx.
yes it is very useful. And android have the same app.
I tried tfapster but it was too heavy draing resources & battery..
I found Waze to be far better, faster, lighter & has more funtional options.
So I made the switch & love it!!

cool...is there an app to alert me when i am driving over the speed limit in a perticular zone? i know iphone has such app but for x1 and x10?
Hi,
I've been experimenting with removing low quality technology time from my day to day to improve well being and simply make more time for other things! I find it easy to end up on youtube or browsing for hours aimlessly.. especially when I am burnt out after a days work.
I previously put my laptop and cellphone in the garage and that worked fairly well but also cut me off from phone calls which was the trade off. I found this great, especially if I did it the night before.
The main sources of distraction I see are a result of Data. If I don't have data I can't browse, I also can't go on YouTube. Yet I still have the benefit of using maps (offline), journaling, evernote (offline), photos, alarm clock, music player.
I've tracked my time on my cell phone weekly and I think I waste somewhere between 9 - 18 hours browsing or watching youtube. My issue isn't the time, but the fact that none of that left a mark on me as something I loved doing.. and that I think is a sign of life truly lost!
I thought if I put my SIM into a non-smart phone I can still call and text and use my smart phone for all the benefits I listed above. My only concern is WiFi... having a simple on-off switch on wifi makes it too easy to use. Do you have any idea of how I create more barriers to WiFi?
For my laptop I've uninstalled the wifi driver and keep it on my screen in a zip file for re-installation if needed. (it's too much work if I'm lazy... and yes this does work.
My goal is to increase the barriers to doing the lazy short term gratifying activities (which I don't enjoy but do out of shear habit) and to make it easier to do the things I value- friends, family, cooking, reading, ect... I find I enjoy these activities once I get into them, it's just the initial barrier.
I don't know if I am the only one that has these thoughts, if you do and have ideas for solutions please share!
Thanks.
Format your system partition by using a custom recovery
I have a custom recovery installed already, what would that let me do?
