Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

Tested the SMS counter now with two separate devices from extras-devel and the UI issue seems to be fixed.
My apologies again for the non-working 0.2.0 update.

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

Thanks a lot for this great app. It works perfectly for me.

No problem ;).

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

Installed the new one from Devel (upgraded) 0.2.1-1, all is now ok.
I don't need this tool, but i can see the potential for many users. Great work.

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

hmm I reported a bug yesterday, but I found the problem myself..
It had to do with the game 'sensitive motion', the sms counter turned into the black box again, when I uninstalled the game it worked great again!

Wonder why the sms counter gui doesnt work when the game isnt even running... :S

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

peternl, sorry for the delay + I was out skiing for a couple of days.

Off the top of my head I do not know why "sensitive motion" and "SMS counter" do not work well together. I'll get back to you on that.

Thanks also for reporting the bug. I did not get any notification on that, so now I additionally know that I need to check my project settings at garage :-)

Hartti

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

I installed the Sensitive Motion app myself, but I did not experience any problems with the SMS counter.

Did you install / uninstall any other applications during around the same time?

Hartti

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

Hi !

I had found the "bug" causing this problem, so i would like to report it to you to help to fix it :

Your great application is dependent on : maemo-python-device-env 1.0.0-3.

This is not an issue UNTIL an other application installed which is ALSO dependent on the same package. As soon as it happens, both application fail to operate.

If you wish to test this, simple installe e.g: espeak caller, and here you go.

May I ask to check how you can compile or such WITHOUT this package ? I am not a programmer, but there are tons od python applictaion does not using this, so surely possible.

Many Thanks for your soonest answer,

Andrew

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

Thanks Andrew,

I'll look into this.

As a short reply off the top of my head:
I created the required application packages with PyPackager and then submitted them to extras builder tools.
For the PyPackager I do not specify that specific package, so I am guessing the extras bulder somehow creates a dependency for that package based on the dependencies I list... Hmmm.. I am wondering how to exactly (troubleshoot/)fix this issue...

Hartti

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

Any Time Hartti,

I would like to made an update on this. This morning, Arto (eSpeak Caller application) made an update to versiobn 0.4 and its became independent of this package. So :

- If you wan to test this bug, you MUST use earlier versions the 0.4.
- You might could ask him how he did it, as developer from developer.

All the best,

Andrew

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

I have the SMS widget installed but its ashame you cant reset the counter or add simple custom settings for it. Just show you the total.

Nice idea though, hopefully with some updates it will improve in time

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

Any update on this? It is really useful as I need to track sent messages! Many thanks for that, but there is a problem.
If I set it to count from day nr. 9, I need to do that again each time I reboot as it resets to 1. Sometimes when I set the day to 9 again, other shortcuts on the same desktop page dissappear and others move around!
And also, I dont know if it's related, but yesterday i installet Siggy and the counter widget went in an empty square shape! I dont know if there are some packagedependencies, but I uninstalled both and only reinstalled the counterwidget which works again (except the moving icon thing)
Again thanks for this great widget!

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

wheatbisc:
Ok, I realize now that there is an issue with the reboot and the setting resetting itself to 1. I did not take the reboots into account. Stupid me. Luckily changing that is simple to do, I need to utilize gconf and read the setting from there during reboot. I'll add that to my to-do list.

I have not experienced the disappearing shortcuts when changing the settings. I have seen the widgets and shortcuts disappear sometimes on my device as well, but unrelated to my widget (on that device the widget was not installed). But I have to check that as well.

I have to install the siggy widget widget myself to see what could be the cause for this. Dependencies is a good guess.

Now the bad news.
I will not check these out until next week when I get back from my skiing trip. Hopefully you can wait... Pretty please...

Hartti

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

badboyuk:
You want to completely reset the counter? For the totals or for the current "month"?

(There are simple setting to change the start day of the tracking period. I could add the total counter reset in there as well - and add that in the gconf as well to keep that reset in force even during reboots, see my other response to wheatbisc. Is that something you are looking after? Or do you want to reset monthly stats as well)

Thanks for the feedback!

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

I checked again on the disappearing icons, and after the second or third reboot, I don't seem to have lost any, only been moving - but again it is actually recreatable every time!

And if you are busy, just take your time dude. The widget needs some caring, but it is working and doing its job! :D

Wheatbisc

EDIT: Disappearing icons again.. It is random icons on the same desktop page. After reboot, they are on another desktop page...

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

Hi Harti !

Allow me to sum up few thing if you could consider please :

1. While in settings, and trying to choose the day of the month, the interface got unresponsive, making it impossible to choose the the proper day. Especially after freshly added the widget to desktop. this is BIG problem as makes it nearly impossible to choose day.

2., Are you sure, that the widget counting sms messages from chosen date of the month till the same day next month than automatically reset itsef ?

3., All time numbers are always the same at least in my case, so it is must be a bug, I guess.

4., Would be so great, if possible to choose of the format it shows data, like : Only sent / only received / with or without all-numbers / all complete like now /etc.

5., 2 Reset buttons inside of settings, which makes all time number and month number reset separtely if user wanted.

6.,Are yopu reading out sent messages number form system settings, or you count it while widget is active ? (I am asking to recover a possible bug)

7., Correctly reboot option to keep widget visible.

8., Store widget desktop position, so even if it close but re-added, make sure to not need to replace it to original position.

Sorry for this extended list, but it is a great application, woudl be great to make it perfect, if you agree.

Many Thanks for your time and reply,

Andras

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

ok, this is strange: sms counter widget is showing that i have 836 SMS sent and received messages, and widgets for the conversation is telling me that I have 800 conversations ....
??????????????????

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

Does this work, even if I delete the SMS from my conversations?

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

hey guys,
i love this app, so i always know if i still have free sms and so on.. but i have a problem :( after updating to pr 1.2 the counter stopped counting on 13804 sms :(

any suggestions how to solve that?

thanks in advance

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

after the new pr 1.2 update it doesnt display anything. I can add an remove the widget from the desktop but its just blank. Ive uninstalled it now. I hope someone can fix not only this issue but also the configuration on the sms counter widget. As it doesnt tell you from which month or period it is counting, a reset button would be nice (idealy for the month) or it could be a complete 1 or just give us both options :-p Changing of background colour or having it transparent would also be a good option to have. It would also be nice if there is another new version then if an MMS counter could be added in as well which would have to link up via fMMS app, don't know if that would be possible but just an idea.
Overall more options would definetly make this widget amazing, currently the info it displays is unusable and the ways to go around it to do things are inconvenient to do all the time.

I look forward to a future update on this widget :)

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

+1, this widget is broken now.

Please fix it.

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

Ah, I was searching for this app!
Unfortunately I'm reading it is broken, please can anyone make an update for the PR 2.1?

I'm looking forward to this app!

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

It would be nice, if the author would fix the actual problem with the blank window of this wonderful widget. I was that happy when my flatrate for sms was activated and more than disappointed that i wasnt able to watch how the counter reaches the 1k mark for the month. ;(((

pls fix it

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

Yes please update it :))) I would also like it so much on PR1.2

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

Is there any news about an update for this app? I really need this one :(

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

so help me understand there was one but is not working anymore?

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

After PR1.2 the widget stopped working!

@dev
Really sad about it actually, it was a great widget ;)

Any idea on when you'll continue your great work on it?

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

Isn't there any developer out there who is able to get this widget to work under PR1.2? I'm missing this one badly :(

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

works fine here, make sure you do apt-get -f install to install the hildon python desktop after dpkg'ing the .deb then run dpkg again

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

Well , hildon python desktop is installed, and still black box :/

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

only black box!!
any ideas or help for me?
cheers

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

no ideas? need urgently help

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

Hi harti,
i installed your ap on my nokia n900, and i got the error message. with the details; you need python... and python...
what do i have to do now? i haven't got a clue.. i don't know what apt-get-f install is. also, the language of my device is dutch, so i hope it's still possible than..

MDV

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

Replace the sms_counter_widget.py with the attached one.
I rewrote the script to account ONLY the sent SMS , since these are what i really pay for :)
I hardcoded the reset date to day 10 , so if you want another day , change the variable resetdate inside the script.
Hope it helps someone.

it only works with PR1.2

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

thanks for the script , its working!
i want to ask a thing.. i don't know use python and i want to know how i can put the reset count of sms every day..
like to get a daily count of SMS then ended the day the count will reset and restart . It is possible? :D :D :D

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

actually i tried to do that , but i was having toi much trouble with the timezone ... so i gave up. Actually you will see the counter be reseted on the UTC time , and not the localtime. And i have no idea how to fix this. I am no python programmer.
For me the monthly sms even with this timezone problem is enough.
Lets hope the real developer fix the black box.

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

ok ok , thanks!!

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

Thanks a lot! I've been missing this very much :D

First I thought I changed the wrong variable, "resetdate=17", because it said "Sent SMSs: 554", but I guess I've just been sending a few..
The script had "resetdate=23", you said it was on 10? Maybe I've got the wrong variable, but it seems to be the right one.

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

sorry , i changed my resetdate to 23 and updated the script :)
It is the right one...

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

Nice, thanks again ;)

I think I've set a new personal record, 554 sms's in 14 days, and today is still counting, I might reach a historical 560! :p I'm glad I have a 1000 sms per month deal :D I would have to request a mortgage without it..

Re: SMS counter for N900?
 

im now working on getting the script to work, i think of the original one...
my problem atm is, that i dont know how i import 2 .db files (cause i've got 3 .db files, but the el.db is with 0kb, so i think i dont need to load it.)
the two others are the
el-v1.db and
el-v1-before-restore.db
.
Would be nice if someone who knows how to text the syntax exactly could help me, to now ive tried something like
rtcom_database = rtcom1 * rtcom2
rtcom1= ...el-v1.db
rtcom2= ...el-v1-before-restore.db
*ive tried it with +, &, &&
nothing worked...
or isnt there a possibility to load 2 dbs with one connect argument?
