nueMinutes - Monitor your sprint minute usage today plugin
 

Hello,

I developed a new today plugin that checks your Sprint minute usage. Its (slightly) rough at the moment, so it might not work if you have some plan type that I'm not aware of. It's written in c++, but the part that checks your minutes is written in .net. It's beta software, so it might fry your device, although its running on my titan just fine.

Update - 0.6 fixed sprint issues

currently only works with wm6 and wm6.1

To install, download the cab from my website:
http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/pos...es-Update.aspx

Go to the today screen and enable the plugin, then press the gear on the today screen to configure it. You MUST save your username and password for My Sprint for the today plugin to check your minutes. If you would like to reconfigure the order things appear on the screen, go to data, press refresh, then go to today, and configure as you please. To force a refresh, press the internet icon.

Basic instructions:
Download cab to device.
Install cab.
Go to Control Panel -> Today
Make sure nueMinutes is enabled, press OK.
Go to today (Start -> Today)
Click on gear.
Click on settings.
Enter your username and password. If your username is your phone number, you only need to enter username and password. If your username is not your phone number, then you are probably on ensemble and need to select new billing system and enter your phone number. Press save password.
Now go to data, and press "refresh". It will try to get data, once it is done, you can customize the home screen. Go to the today screen, and you can set what data you want to be displayed. For example, if you want "mobile to mobile" to be displayed first, select it from the list. Under "short" is the name for it that appears on the today screen. The Vis. checkbox selects if it is visible on the today screen or not. Be sure to press save settings and not populate!
Then go back to your today screen, and press the internet icon to force a refresh. Your usage data should appear on your today screen now.

Let me know if you encounter any problems, or any feature requests.

so what is wrong with calling *4

um, it takes time, and.. its a call?

Looks useful i'll try on my Treo later

This should be a neat today plugin, tryin' to run it now. Sprint 6700 with Kirvin's C&S, D/L it to storage card, installed it in Ext Rom, not showing in programs or today screen options. Running it from Ext Rom, get error code (how cool, you even included error codes-GREAT programming!!) InvalidCastException


at nueMinutes.Form1loadSettings()
at nueMinutes.Form1.ctor()
at nueMinutes.Program.Main()

Reload, get error msg:
nueMinutes.exe
NullRferenceException

at minuteLibrary.Minutes.getdata()

Sweet looking app. Thanks for the hard work and sharing with us all.

I keep getting "unknown error" message on Touch. Perhaps the recent migration to new billing system caused the problem?

I am also getting "unkown error" when it trys to log in, (Apache running WM6)

I'm on the new billing system (ensamble)

Where do you get this error message? Actually, I think I figured out the error you're getting... Try reinstalling, and don't press save settings before you press refresh. I'm updating the plugin so this bug no longer occurs.

is this a wm6 only? i tried to install on my treo 700wx and it says it has installed successfully, but i cant find it anywhere...any help would be appreciated

Install to device, does not show as item on settings>today>items list to add as plugin
Open file explorer>program files>nueMinutes, tap to run, tap second screen to run, touch big button "refresh", error message in nueMinutes.exe. Details show at NullReferenceException at minuteLibrary.getData().

reinstall, run as above, except go to settings, enter user name and password, hit refresh, nothing happens, go back to data, tap buton 'refresh', it goes thru the motions, and unexpected error occurs at nueMinutes.exe, details as above.

Stil sounds like a neat program, any advice?

I haven't tested it on wm5. It's one of the things that I want to do once I get it working on most wm6 devices.

Thanks for all your input and beta testing work. I posted a new version that should fix a lot of problems. Are you pressing save password after you fill out password?

Try this:
Install
Go to today in control panel, enable "nueMinutes"
Go to today screen, press gear.
Go to settings
Enter user name (phone number) and password for my sprint.
Go to data, press refresh.

let me know how that works.

Also, does anyone know how to check if you are on the new billing system?

The new billing system screen is totally different from the old one so if you get migrated you'll know. Plus the new one no longer allows you to use your phone # as your login. I just got migrated Friday.

ok, must be a wm5 thing; no 'control panel', just 'settings', and it's not showing as an item to choose.

I'll send this link to a friend who has a Mogul and see what he gets. Thanks for all your hard work, anyway; it is appreciated.

Hmm, guess i'll update it to work with both systems when i get upgraded. Until then I guess theres not much I can do.

Yeah; I've been on the new system for a while--there's an extra security screen that has to be agreed to before one can get to the usage screen.

Mogul Settings
 

I installed on my Mogul. I am on new billing system. I get thru login into getting plan, every time it gives error. I have read all you posted but nothing helps

Yeah nothing working here either.

since I don't have access to an account on the new billing system, I can't really do anything until I am... sit tight ..

I am also on the new billing system (everyone will be eventually).....could you explain how your plugin works? then maybe we can figure out how to make it work w/ the new system. thx

It pulls data from the sprint usage page, you'd have to see the source code to figure out. Might just release it sooner or later...

no2chem, this plugin looks freakin' awesome.

right now i'm using Phone Dashboard but I would love to use yours. However, i'm on the new billing system.

You're a valued and trustworthy member across this forum and xda so i'd give you access to my Sprint account to figure it out. Let me know.

no2chem, this plugin is AWESOME!
Thanks so much for it!

Although there is a few bugs, such as the updated usage not coming up on the today screen, but other than that, its really good,
once again, thanks!

hmm, PM maybe, I would love to get this working with the new system so more people could use it...

so... it works for you? If it does, you can force the today screen to update on the today screen by clicking on the internet icon. I know it doesn't update automatically sometimes because I didn't account for the time the phone was asleep, on my todo list though =)

no2chem, check your PMs, I sent you the source code of the usage page for new sprint customers. The link to the page is: https://manage.sprintpcs.com/Manage/...rceAction=true where the X's are the cell number

plugin updated, let me know how it works out for those on the new billing system

I get a file not found :/ or are you still uploading it?

The requested URL /nue/nueminutes.cab was not found on this server.

I fixed it, forgot it was case sensitive.

I'm still getting this message too.

oops, forgot to save.. fixed now

Man it must totally suk to have to keep track of your minutes all the time/
i feel for u guys.

titan 6800 running on the cricKet network, now with evdo =)

Still a no go for me. Getting the "unknown error" message still.

Installed on my Treo 700WX, couldnt get the today screen plugin to work. I also got the error message nullexception or similar to that

same here. NullReferenceException. doesn't seem to be saving name, password or phone # either.

Not saving my info when I close on re-open and I get unknown error coming up... But it does say login in, goes to finding minute usage, then "An Unkown Error Occured", with that NullReferenceException on the bottom........

Same issues - NullReferenceException - An Unknown Error Occured... It seems to login, but once it tries to pull the info, it errors.

**EDIT**

Using 2.17 stock rom on my Mogul.

It's not actually logging in. I believe the nullreferenceexception is a login error because if you just put it anything, you'll get the same error as when it said you had 'logged in'. Obviously it's having trouble logging in. When inputing various information, it still claims that you have been logged in.

I'm getting the same error too and it's not saving my data. At first I entered the wrong password and when I went to Sprint.com to logon it told me I had to wait 20 minutes because I'd exceeded my invalid attempts so I guess it was trying to log me on.

I'm taking a look at these issues... When you press save password it actually saves your password, it just doesn't save the information on the screen for security purposes.

It logs me in New Billing System then goes to "finding minute usage" page then says "getting usage" and then goes to "logging out" and gives "An Unknown Error Occurred"
