Working call duration 'fix'? - Treo Forum

Socialism · 07-04-2007, 03:28 PM

Hi all, sorry to make this my inaugural post -- but man I'm frustrated. Tried getting every single "call duration patch" out there to work on my (relatively) new Treo 680, all to no avail. German phonecallduration.prc. Aqua skins. Shadowmite's overlays. Nothing : ( Pushed the .prc files to SD card, moved them to Internal with FileZ with no effect. Read so many of the success stories out there, so it makes me bleed inside.

As we all know, the *evil Treo 680 (god, I miss my 650) hides call durations (presumably because they've teamed with networks and are trying to get people to not monitor their minute-usage so they spend more...) for individual calls. *This functionality was clearly available in the 650's call log; its removal was implemented to frustrate Palm's customer base: what other possible motivation was there?

Phone was purchased off of eBay around May-ish; typing in the serial # at the palm website indicated that I did not need the camera battery patch, if that's a telltale sign as to how old this thing is. Think Palm actually patched the patches?

Firmware: MW01.50
Software: TREO680-1.04-ROW
CC-Cap: ROG-ROG-013

It's an unlocked Treo 680 (originally Rogers) that's on Fido/Rogers networks in Toronto, Canada (Rogers bought Fido). Can't seem to get call durations at all. I don't care about graphics, I don't care about icons... I just want to know my call durations in my call log or call log-->call details! Anyone out there have any ideas? Any workarounds?

I don't want to have to resort to getting a 3rd party program for even MORE button pressing since it already takes 20493280948 clicks to get me to my call log page...

Thanks,
Socialism

People seem to be quite baffled by this particular predicament. Does anyone have any solution to the missing call duration information on the Treo 680 Call Log?

Someone suggested picking up TAKEphONE 7.0 - as it has call duration++, apparently. Has anyone here had any positive/negative experiences with that program?

Thanks,
Socialism
