the widget shows up as a black box?? help please!

smscounter widget appears as a black box? help please?

The application being discussed in this thread is another one: http://maemo.org/packages/view/smscounter/. I think you are referring to smswidget. Last time I tried it, it had the same problem.

There was a fix/hack I posted on that thread, to make smswidget compatible with PR1.2 and later, did you follow those steps? I was able to run it on my N900 6~ months ago, so it should work okay.

SMSCounter 0.4 available in extras-devel
New Features:
* Added desktop widget, source adapted from SMSCounterWidget package: http://maemo.org/packages/view/smswidget/

anyone interested in a patch that adds calls counter to this widget?

I'm working on that

has anyone encountered random powering off the phone every few hours after installation

OK.. Awesome app. I have a question and a feature request:

I'm not seeing and call durations listed. It's telling me I've made and received X number of calls, but durations are all 0. Is there something I'm missing? Is there something else I need to install? Or does this not work with calls made before the app was installed?

As for a feature ideas:

• It would be great if this could also integrate with fMMS to do MMS counting.
• Having it pull data usage would be great as well.
• Having it setup to indicate a start date and a period, and then having a drop down for period would be super awesome.

For example, new cycle starts on the 12th of every month, or starts on the 10th and the period is 30 days. Then you could have it default to the current cycle, and have a drop down for last cycle, cycle before, etc.

If you do a widget, you could use the cycle info above to offer an auto-save and reset of the data counters, since widgets are "always on" and can get time-date notifications. You could also store that data use per cycle info in a database so it can be seen historically instead of the snapshot of total usage and "since date X" we have now. You could also use the cycle information to show historic use (plot last 12 cycles as an x-y line chart, etc.)

Again, this is all just ideas. I would love to see any of them implemented, but certainly love what you've already done! Would love to see a widget version of this too.

Oh, one major request:
Have it remember the last from/to dates between launches? That would be really nice.

Does this happens having the SMSCounter desktop widget active?
