The Big News: Phone Dashboard 2.0 Released!
We know it has been a while, but Hudson Mobile is very pleased to announce the availability of Phone Dashboard 2.0, the leading utility for Windows Mobile-based phones.
Phone Dashboard helps save you money because it keeps you from going over your monthly minutes. Phone Dashboard also saves you time by allowing you to easily view, sort and export your calling history for expense tracking.
A recent review in Pocket PC Magazine called Phone Dashboard "darn near perfect" and we think you'll agree!
Phone Dashboard allows you to:
Keep track of your phone and text message usage at a glance on your Today Screen
Configure alerts based on your cell phone plan so you are warned of potential overage charges
Simplify expense tracking by exporting your phone's call log to a spreadsheet
Easily review your past call history through graphs and a flexible call log
Check the current network status and signal strength
See if you are headed for a large monthly bill with projected usage statistics
With release 2.0, we extend Phone Dashboard to track SMS and MMS message usage as well as call usage - a feature that has been in popular demand. Other new features include more options to customize your phone plans including flexible weekends and call rounding, and improved logging, usability and performance. Now more than ever, Phone Dashboard gives you a complete picture of your phone usage.
For a limited time, Phone Dashboard 2.0 is available at a 25% discount from the already low retail price of $14.99. Just put Phone Dashboard in your cart on Handango (link here) and enter promotional code 88ABC493.
If you are a current, registered user of Phone Dashboard, the upgrade can be downloaded for free and your existing registration code will continue to work. We recommend that all users upgrade to the latest software version.
If you are a user of IP Dashboard, and have since purchased a Windows Mobile phone, now is a great time to trial Phone Dashboard. You can download a risk-free trial of Phone Dashboard here.
We'd like to thank all of our reviewers and loyal users for the wonderful feedback we've received on Phone Dashboard. Please keep your suggestions and product ideas coming!
The SMS sent and received is not updating properly on my HP6915. I have sent a few SMS's to test and received a few SMS's but the counter just stay at 0. I have not deleted the messages for the last 24hours. The minutes update properly.
I just responded to you over email - we had one other user have similar issues on the HP 6915 as well, and we have sent out debug versions of the software to learn more.
We should get some answers shortly and will post a fix.
Thanks,
Hudson Mobile

The fix did not work on my HP6915. I sent two messages and received 2 messages. It only updated one sent message after a few hours. I installed the debug version but it has not yet created a debug file. I sent 2 messages after running the debug version and no debug file yet!
New user here, any solution yet to resolve the duplicated call log and sms
counter not showing correct sms sent/recvd ? I am using HP6818 and facing
the same issue. Thanks.
Yes I am using v2.0.1 and still having same duplicate call log recorded issue.
Even v1.9.4 also having above issue but after soft reset, call log back to normal. However, with v2.0.1 no matter how many times I reset the device,
duplicated records still there.
I am also experiencing problems with the SMS counter after sending messages - not counting sent messages.
I am using the 2.01 Registered Version (if that makes a difference).
Another problem I am having is when I go into the settings for any reason, my minutes seem to roll back to where they were since the last time I was in the settings - ie:
I had 87 minutes logged after being the the settings.
A few days later I had around 128 minutes and I went into the settings to show someone the features of the phone.
When I exited the settings, I seen that it rolled back to 87 minutes.
Hi
I am also experiencing problems with the SMS counter sending and received messages - not counting messages.
I am trying Phone Dashboard 2.0 and 2.01 trial.
My PDA is T-Mobile MDA Vario with T-Mobile firmware version 2.24. (WM 5)
Are you using 2.0.1? That seems to have fixed the duplicate call issue for most people, although some are still having issues with SMS counting.
Regading the duplicate entries in call log file, after using the command under
Usage --> Options = Rebuild Log Files... and so far call log entries looks ok.
As for sms counters, still same issue as what the rest having.

Have you tried rebuilding the call log from the Usage | Usage Options screen? This should restore the program to match your phone's call log.

The SMS counter works for me if I leave a message for at least four hours in either your inbox or your sent items. It is frustrating!
Serage - what "refresh interval" are you using in the Plan | Advanced tab? PD should check the SMS folder approximately every refresh interval (although if the phone is sleeping it may not happen). If you use a lower refresh interval it should update more often. We will look into this as well.

Well I thought I was the only crazy one but it is nice to see it isnt just me. I have a XV6700 with WM5 and using Dashboard v2.0.1 (registered). I also am not seeing where it is tracking SMS (I dont use MMS). Everything else works great.
However, one thing I may want to add is that I do not use the default SMS app in my phone and have installed a Palm threaded app but then went over to the contact manager used by PocketCM Contacts & Keyboard and this seems to not place the SMS in the same place as the default app would do.
I have provided some screen shots to maybe better assist the support we have here. TIA everyone,
Here is screenshot #1 you can see in my Today screen menu I have an Inbox and a Messaging box. This is because the threaded app is different from the OEM app and they seem to be relocated to someplace else. I do know all the data (SMS's and the numbers in the drop down of numbers past numbers that have been used) are stored in the Windows directory and the file is PalmMsgV001. So although I can manually delete whatever SMS I want, if I want to delete the number history that I have sent msgs to I can browse to this file and delete it. When I do this I will delete not only that number history but also any SMS stored in there.
Screenshot #2 simply shows the Today screen with both the Inbox and Message box
Screenshot #3 shows the default Inbox directories. Normally (without the threaded app) this would have MMS, SMS, Other and Outlook. But when you install the threaded app it moves this folder somewhere else.
Screenshot #4 shows the directory of the Messages box. Notice that there are 2 msgs over 24-48 hours so whereas someone else here on the thread said it took theirs well over 4hrs to show up, mine does not work this way. But I am willing to bet they are not using a threaded app.
Screenshot #5 shows the dropdown menu for the folders to choose where the SMS are at. Note: this looks as where the default Inbox would be located at. Is it possible we could get a "Browse" button to specify where the SMS are at?
