Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

self explanatory, just checked it out. took a few kbs on rootfs not a biggie. phone app lacks a detailed call log especially when the same person calls. it also can arrange it in dialled, recieved,missed calls. worth loading

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

hi

what does this program change exactly?

• the way data is logged in the ~/.rtcom-eventlogger/el.db database?
  • if yes: what additiional data is logged, and is it done with the API or by accessing the database directly?
• the way data is displayed in the phone-app?

I just used the hack here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=42624 which modifies the database, and I would like to try it out a few days before rolling back the changes ;)

thx
hcm

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

wow this was great.
killer app!
the only thing missing is duration. but maybe in future release?

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

I'm the developer of extended call log. Basically it's just a different front end for the rtcomm-eventlogger-ui library which is used for most of the maemo logs. I just display all calls instead of the grouped list in the phone log.

In this version, I only display the last 30 calls. This is configurable via gconf and I'll add a UI setting for it in the next version.

Also, to view extra details of a call (contact number, account) you have to double click on the call. I've to do some work to figure out how to make it work on single click.

For people that asked about call times. As this isn't available by default in the database I can't display it. Enough votes for this bug might make it possible after the next update.

It should be optified to take no space from rootfs, but I'll take a look to make sure I'm doing the optification properly.

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

I've released v0.2 of extended call log today and pushed it to extras-testing

The changes in v0.2 are

* Added a UI to set the number of calls to display
* Fixed an issue with the icons


For the number of calls I recommend to keep this kind of reasonably low unless you specifically need to look at older calls. If this is a high number it can introduce a delay when loading the calls

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

okay, so how does this work? i installed it then went to my contacts communication history and all i see is my out-going calls and out-going text. And that has always been there. No incoming calls or incoming texts shown.

So i went and made few calls from my phone and called my self from my house phone, hoping that it will show up multiple time instead of showing only the last call.

Am i doing something wrong here? is there something i need to configure inorder to see this. please help me out with this. zhow do i see multiple calls on my phone instead of the "last" made or recieved.

Thanks

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

Did u click on the default call log icon or the extended call log icon which should bee there after the installation?

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

i think im doing something wrong here. Its installed for sure but im getting confused where to go and check this. Maybe, you can post couple of pictures? please

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

If detailed "call duration" is added then this App is what the original call log should be.

Great job by the way. Kudos

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

I agree, the communication history only shows limited info after inastalling extended call. I am uninstalling mine.

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

Is it possible to integrate received/sent sms in this? I really miss the N95's call log :X

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

so can anyone show me how this works? im still waiting for someone to tell me step by step where to go and see extended call logs....

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

any screen captures ?

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

okay, since no one was willing to take some time and show people who are getting confused how to check extended call log. I decided to keep looking untill i found it.

For people who are getting confused: Install the application then all you do is go to your "MORE" folder where all your applications are, for example: wormux, coin toss, bounce, e.t.c.

Or what you can do is, go to one of your desktops and add it as a shotcut. And thats what i did, its much faster and easier to acess.

preas thanks if i helped

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

That's right. It's a seperate application that shows under the "More" folder.

It would be possible to add a filter for sms, if there was enough call for it.

On screenshots, I'll put together some, hopefully on Monday and then upload them here and try to upload them to the downloads page too

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

Actually, here's a quick screenshot. I'll look to add more later

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

This looks a nice app. I wonder if you can hook it in with CallBlocker? Someone in the thread for that app suggested that a number could be added to CallBlocker by choosing something from the context menu while viewing the call log. http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=46333#31

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

hi guys,
does extended call log solve my problem which is:
with my old E90 i used to set the call logs to be saved for 30days which i basicly use in my work as sometimes i got calls from customers not registered and i forgot to register their numbers and i need to go back to the log and check by date of call to try remember the number.
with the N900 the log is too small and i need to extend the number of calls to be saved and displayed.
please help and if the extended call logs can solve my problem i apprecaite if you can post a link to download the application.

regards

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

It should solve your problem. The log database on the N900 will store the information, however the default UI doesn't display it. With Extended Call Log you can choose how many calls to display therefore going back as far as you want to find the number.

The downloads page for extras is available here

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

I've uploaded a new version of Extended Call Log to extras-devel today

The changes are

* Added call type to filter by GSM, VoIP or all
* Added default call type to settings
* Added a done page to the settings wizard to improve UX
* Changed uuencoded icon in control file to 48x48 image

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

I want an integrated extended call log with the default call log

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

Very useful app, but I have one problem - it takes like 20 sec. for it to open and become operative. It loads fast, but then first 20 sec it is not responding to commands. I have tried it with different number of entries to be shown - same result. Anybody with similar behavior?

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

That made my phone useless. I could't call or receive calls when ecl was installed. And yes I did reboot my phone. =)

Think I will test newer release someday.

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

The delay could be caused because you have the limit of calls to be shown set too high. I'd recommend setting the limit to about 30 unless you need to find a call further back.

If you have tried a small number and are still getting the error I'm not sure what might be causing it, maybe something to do with your database? Do you see any delay when loading the standard phone log?

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

This should have no effect on calls as I don't touch anything around that.

Does it happen only when you have it running or anytime you have it installed?
And what have you set as the limit?

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

Yeah - I put 50 and it is OK. For me "small number" of entries was 200 ;-)
I furst started with 1000(30days X 30 calls=900) which s one month back. Then after experiencing these lags, I reduced to 800, then 500, then 300...still lagging :-)
Now with 50 I am OK, will increase only when need arises.
Thank you for your time and effort to create and maintain this app!

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

Thanks for confirming. I want to look at the lag when loading to see if there may be something I can do to combat it.

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

phuongymy - how rude and unappreciative you are by saying "okay, since no one was willing to take some time and show people who are getting confused how to check extended call log. I decided to keep looking untill i found it"
developers spend a load of time creating applications and helping people .... you should have done what you ended up doing and SEARCHING FOR THE ANSWER.
(im not even going to mention that you only waited 22 minutes before leaving an arrogant message)

and for your info the question was actually answered for you the first time on page 1 on this thread by rahulg247 4 mins after you asked the question the first time on 03-06-10 , 09:44 AM!

some people eh!

Problem updating
 

First let me say I love this app. Really helpul. Now my little dilemma. I am trying to update the app and it tells me there is an update availabel, but it is missing dependencies. Application packages missing are:

librtcom-eventlogger-ui1 (>=1.4-2+0m5)
librtcom-eventlogger-1 (>=1.3-4+0m5)

Any idea how I get these?
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

Bump and echo the above post by slotti..

My librtcom's are of the 0 variety, not 1 (ie, librtcom-eventlogger0, librtcom-eventlogger-ui0). Are you working off of a test/internal build of PR1.2 which the "lower classes" ;) such as ourselves don't yet have access to, or is something else going on?

EDIT: forgot to thank you for your very useful app and your time and dedication to both Maemo and the community/this thread. So, thanks! :D

Re: Problem updating
 

hopping for reply for this, having the same problem ..
thanks guys ..

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

With this app, can I see the number the person called from ? Currently, if I have multiple numbers saved for a contact and the person calls, all I get is a name in the call log without the actual number, which makes is impossible to know whether the person called from home or cell.

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

x2 please. This would be really helpful!

Shame that the same happens in Conversations.. There's a bunch of people in my Contacts for whom I have several numbers. Sometimes, one has been dropped and I'll only know about it long after. With Conversations, as long as you reply on the same "thread" you'll know the message was sent to that number, but if I want to call them, for example, I'm stuck trying to trip the name-resolution code and hope I get that one time where it resolves the name for the number slow enough that I can read at least a part of it and know which number to call.

The reason why Extended Call Log is so useful is that, well, it "extends" the firmware's built-in call log.. So if I'm looking up a call from someone who's no longer on the Phone app log, it'd be really helpful if we could visualize the number too.

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

Is it possible for to make extended call logg to display call time for each call?

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

See comment #4 in this thread.

Re: Problem updating
 

I have the same problem too. Just downloaded an upgrade yesterday but cannot install. Please help. Thanks.

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

First of all, I'm an idiot.. :D Yes, if you press (or doubleclick) on the contact you wish to see more details on, it'll tell you which number was used and the time and date the call was made, received or missed.

Got too obsessed about the way Conversations works that I didn't remember about it -- had been using it for a while now, though, so yeah, I'm dense. :cool:

One thing, though, and I don't know if the poster you replied to was referring to this (as opposed to the time and date when a call was placed): is it possible to know the call's duration? I mean, for received and (especially) outgoing calls, of course. Don't know if the system stores this info too..

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

i m trying to install it but getting the application packages missing .. how come? it iz there in application manager .. and extras-devel nd extras repository are enabled.

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

You should have looked at the "Details" tab, it explains which dependencies are missing.

Since other apps have had auto-builder issues, prompting the dev to revert changes, I'm guessing some code/packages are being built with system libraries which will be made available once the next firmware update comes out (PR1.2), and until such time -- since those libraries aren't available for normal download, they come as a full "suit" (firmware upgrade) so as to ensure compatibility -- apps compiled against those are uninstalable by anyone who is still running PR1.1.1 (3.2010.02-8).

Though it'd be really nice if matrim would comment on the matter. (btw, matrim, must have missed your first post -- no call duration on the database, eh? that's a real shame and a huge thing that the devs overlooked)

Re: Extended Call Log - extras-devel
 

Sorry for the delay, I didn't see the updates to the thread.

I think the update \ install problem is related to the SDK \ autobuilder update to PR1.2. But TBH, I'm not sure what is causing the problem as it was working fine and then without any change by me it stopped installing for some people. I also have the same problem with another app that uses the rtcom-eventlogger librarys

For not I'm putting the problem down to the update and when PR1.2 is out it should hopefully fix the problem.
