nueMinutes - Monitor your sprint minute usage today plugin

[no2chem]

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.

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()

[1oddmanout]

Reload, get error msg:
nueMinutes.exe
NullRferenceException

at minuteLibrary.Minutes.getdata()

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.

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.
