Mobile data usage monitoring (dataMonitor app)

[geekvine]

i do pay as you go so this is invaluable for me, thank you.

[Giiba]

For the life of me I can find no /build/app folder. Am I missing something obvious?

[AppLee]

@Giiba
You need to install and run clickable to build the app
The /build/app/ is then created

I just tried a clickable build but failed with "install" in Makefile, so I guess installation of the daemon is done whithin the Makefile and the client is installed using clickable.
I'll try tomorrow to plug the phone and see if I can build and install the app on the PinePhone.

[matteo]

@AppLee and @geekvine and @Giiba you need to build the binary first before to compile the clickable app.
So, once installed the dataMonitor folder into your local directory, you first need to run clickable build-libs to compile the file Actiondaemon.cpp. Only after that, you are ready to run clickable with your phone connected to your PC to compile the whole project.
Thank you for your interest BTW. Any feedback from you on the app behavior is highly appreciated

@AppLee and @Giiba since you are trying to build the app from source, it's worth to inform you I made slight modifications to the two .conf files used for the daemon functionality. Those will be included in the next ver. 0.1.7. The reason is that I'm tring to find the most functional code for the daemon. Just to briefly explain, the mattdaemon-service is only meant to get triggered once at the purpose of switching the first boot code path to the after-boot code path the Actiondaemon binary shall follow. I recommend you to change locally the two .conf files according to the below reported new files. If you already built the app before, then you need to go first to settings and to push the "remove daemon" button; after that, you need to exit from the app and you can rebuild it (this time you only need to build the qml part, since the C++ library remained unchanged) and in the end to reboot the phone. You can find the two .conf file in the dataMonitor/daemon folder.

EDIT: sorry, I needed to remove the previous attached .conf files for the daemon activity, since I find out there is still some improvements to give to those. I will report back as soon as possible, when I'll find the most convenient way to express those. In the meantime, the 0.1.6 version is working for me to test the app.
A recommendation: test this app only on a secondary device, not on a daily driver, since it is still experimental (even if widely tested by me) and in case of any undesirable occurrence you will not lose any data and you can safely recover from scratch. Thank you.

ricardo65 a day ago

i have installed version 0.1.6 in oneplus one and the data consumption via sim does not appear, you can only see the consumption via wifi

[geekvine]

@matteo don't worry i tested a REALLY early build, i'll provide some feedback within a few days when i get a chance to compile the latest source.

[matteo]

@ricardo65 Ricardo, thank you for providing the log. What I noticed is that regardless of the connection type (SIM or Wifi) you got that strange error related to Error: no such table: chartYdata Unable to execute statement. This sometimes happened to me also, but a reboot fixed that without additional troubles. Did you try to reboot?
Also, I need to ask you to type the following command in the terminal, after your SIM connection is fully working: ifconfig -a and report the log here.
Please follow the discussion about this issue reported in my dataMonitor Gitlab page ---->Issue #1
to understand what's going on with your phone and why you don't have apparently SIM data reception.

@ricardo65 please next time use either an external service to paste such long reports, for instance Pastebin Ubuntu is what we usually prefer to employ, or you could embed your report between code tags (the symbol </> you can find above the text field during message composition). This because it's easier for anyone to read and following these simple rules we avoid too much noise in the present thread.
To come to your output, it seems similar to my Pro5 output....but I don't see any ril_0/ril_1 gsm connections....are you sure you have your SIM card inserted and proved working? Please show me also the output of: nmcli device status both when the SIM is inside and after you pulled it out, if possible. Thank you.

@matteo That should help

[matteo]

@Lakotaubp great! Thank you...much better now

@Lakotaubp great! Thank you...much better now

I beg your pardon, I don't know how to do as many things as you do, I like this whole world and ubuntu touch but I don't know half as many commands as you all

@ricardo65 No worries we all start somewhere and learn as we go.

@ricardo65 apparently you also have a ril_0 gsm connection, so how strange, it should work. In the next days I'll make some verification with my SIM in to see if something changed during the time I worked exclusively on the wi-fi connection. For now, thank you Ricardo, you have been so helpful so far

[ricardo65]

@matteo Thank you very much for your patience with me, whatever it takes.
