Not poorly, but rather without any more options.
I wanted to make a brainstorm, but i don't know how to actualy do it.

What i'm trying to say here is that by making this widget the way i described it, i think it would become usefull to a lot more members.
To bad i can't code it, i would have made it myself.

1. Go to the desktop upon which Dataplan Monitor is running.
2. Tap the desktop.
3. Tap the gear icon that appears near the upper right corner of the screen.
4. Tap the wrench/spanner icon that appears on the upper left corner of Dataplan Monitor.
5. In the "Personal Dataplan Monitor Settings" window that appears, tap "Use compact layout".
6. Tap the "Save" button.
7. Tap "Done" in the upper right corner of the display.

Thanks. That wasn't very intuitive though..
It looks better now, although I could still imagine a much smaller one, permenently up there in the status bar!

Bytales, is the information here coming up short?

Hi all,

I am the author of Personal Dataplan Monitor. Starting threads isn't really a good way to get the app author to notice that you want changes - and getting the app author to make the changes you want rather than forking development is probably a better way to go

Brainstorm is a good idea, but filing an enhancement request through bugzilla is probably a better idea (if you have a concrete description of what you would like to see). Plus, that nets you some karma!

To make it easy, here is the direct link to the new bug page for PDPM: https://bugs.maemo.org/enter_bug.cgi...GPRS%20Monitor

All that being said, I am pretty pressed for time just now (5-week old baby in the house) but any enhancements or bugs filed will at least be commented on for feasibility and whether or not the will be likely implemented.

Thanks

Andrew, you are just flat awesome.

I like the way it is implemented. Simple and useful.

I like the Personal Dataplan Monitor widget since I can just scroll over to the desktop it's on and have a look.

Though it is very handy I was thinking of a couple of additions that could make it even more so:

Warning and critical usage for instance where you set your plan's maximum usage and threshold for when usage is close. Something like a colour change in the text or, since this could be awkward depending on theme, a teeny indicator light.

It would be very nice as well if you could enter your monthly roll-over date as set with your contract so that the monitor resets automatically at that time (x of the month for instance).

Yes. Because remembering your data cap, reading some numbers and doing a simple subtraction in your head is just so hard...


But I do agree with the roll-over date implementation. I don't need it, but it's a good idea, IMHO.

Please file an enhancement bugreport or/and contact the maintainer(s) directly, Moved.
