I don't think that this is a step back. For consumer this might look like that because you don't have that call logger program now, but this is probably not going to be so for long. The database file is there and it has schema which can be read, so now any coder with editor and free time can create some kick-*** call log presenter. I think this is a good thing.

Well I bought the device based on statements on this site that any deficiencies can be corrected. I hope this is so. The call log needs definite improvement and there is a definite need for custom ring tones along with other things we are accustomed to from symbian

Anybody knows why the Events.end_time is always 0 for RTCOM_EL_SERVICE_CALL kind of services ?

There does not seem to be a way to get a duration of a phone call, is there ?

I've found the following to be quite useful for figuring out where calls
and SMS messages actually came from:

Code:
sqlite3 -line .rtcom-eventlogger/el.db 'select service_id, ET.name,
datetime(storage_time,"unixepoch") storage_time,
datetime(start_time,"unixepoch") start_time,
datetime(end_time,"unixepoch") end_time, is_read, flags, E.remote_uid,
remote_name, abook_uid, group_uid, channel, free_text from Events as
E, EventTypes ET, Remotes as R where E.event_type_id=ET.id and
R.remote_uid=E.remote_uid and E.local_uid=R.local_uid order by
storage_time;'
(I stuck it in a shell script that I can just run as-needed until it is better in the OS or until there's a better app for it.)

I've just made a simple application that will show you a list of all the received, dialed and missed calls, without filtering or grouping any of them.

It shows the date and time of the call, the phone number of the other party, and their name. If you click an entry, it dials that number automatically. Since I was worried about battery usage, it doesn't refresh the list automatically after calls are made, you need to click the Refresh menu option. You can select in the settings how much history to display, default is 30 days worth of calls.

I don't really have time right now to create a proper package and upload to extras-devel, but I figured other people might need this.

Here's a zip file with the application, it's just one python file, and a shortcut. Put the calllog.py file in /home/user/, and the pycalllog.desktop in /usr/share/applications/hildon/

P.S. This is my very first mobile device app, so be gentle.

Regarding the call logs, one thing I've noticed is that when I recieve a voicemail notification the timestamp on it is hours off from the timestamp of the missed call. For example a friend called me at 9:05 pm and left a vm, the timestamp on the vm was 4:06pm anyone else experience this problem?

I noticed this problem is not FIXED in the currently released FW. Is there a bug log for this that we can vote on? This problem is very annoying.

Beautiful tool! One note: you must install gnome-python in order for it to run:

Code:
apt-get install gnome-python

Question... Is there any way someone can think of to script logon to my.t-mobile.com and get current balance for prepaid account? I'm not very familiar with python...

I don't have a T-Mobile account so I can't write it, but it shouldn't be terribly difficult. I believe python-mechanize is already avaiable in the repos and you could either include BeautifulSoup in the app or just parse with SGML. Look up Mechanize and you should find examples of how to log in to web pages if you are interested in trying to build something.
