TMobile (USA) Minutes Used version 2.1
the new version fixed a bug from the previous version. it also dumps error messages to the "error console" in firefox which hopefully will help debug any issues.
it doesn't work with prepaid plan yet because i am not sure what kind of data the extension is getting prepaid plan. but the error log might help.
You can download it here.

It works!
Really appreciate the effort.
Thanks, v2.1 works great with my family plan.
still no worky for me.. does anyone with a prepaid account have this working?
where is the debug to diagnose?
I've got a Prepaid account also, and the extension still isn't working for me.
When double clicking the extension in the status bar, it takes me to the TMobile site, but says "Sorry, this information is unavailable Please refresh". However clicking the "account balance" on the Tmo site brings up my current usage and minutes left.
I've tried uninstalling it and re-installing with no luck. The error console shows a "No element Found Line 1" error.
I can send you the "Page Source" of the Account Usage page if you need it to debug. -dave-
as i said in the release note, it doesn't support prepaid account yet because i don't have one.
the error log message is in "tools->error console" starting with "failed to parse...". that might help me find a solution.
HEY!!! It works, and works with the family plan, all is well! WOW thanks for keep developing this one. thank you sooooooo much! Perfect! So helpful.
After clearing the error console and then Checking usage on the extension, i only get the "No element found" error.
i see that under no element found, it gives the web site address that it is having trouble with "Error: no element found
Source File: https://my.t-mobile.com/Services/account/accountservice.svc/GetAccountUseData
Line: 1"
double-clicking the extension takes me to the site "https://my.t-mobile.com/Billing/Default.aspx" where i get the "sorry, information is currently unavailable, please refresh" message.
It is different than the website i have to access for the prepaid site. "https://my.t-mobile.com/account/"
don't know if that makes any difference for the extension and i don't know much about the code or how to code, but i thought it would be worth mentioning. -dave-
No joy here. I have a family plan with 5 lines.
Firefox 3.0.12; Minutes Used version 2.1, installed, uninstalled, reinstalled to no affect. When I hover the pointer over the T area, I see lots of text starting with "failed to parse minute usage ...". Nine (9) lines show with one partial. Opening the Firefox Error Console does show errors. Not sure how to capture those errors for you.
Clicking on Check usage just yields "checking usage..." Navigating to the T-Mobile Billing Site works with pre-fill of phone number and password, but does not go any further. Need to press Enter to get any further.
Thanks in advance.
Here is what I was able to capture using Console2:

I could not paste the offending html here, so I substituted the braces for the angle brackets.
Thanks
Partially works for me (5 line family plan).
However, I have to right click and select "Check Usage Now" to get it to update. Won't do it on it's own. I've tried different checking values with no luck.
Thank you Winston!
I was unable to get it to work on Firefox 3.5.1. I inputted the necessary data and it hangs on checking usage... When I mouse over it reads failed to parse minute usage. Are there any other Firefox add-ons that would cause a compatibility issue with this add-on? Keep up the good work!
I got it working, but I had to input the username / password and then uninstall the add-on and then reinstall it. Thanks!
I have to force it to check by right clicking and selecting "Check Usage Now". It doesn't seem to want to check every "X" minutes as per the setting in the options.
Other than that it seems ok.
Thanks Winston!
I also have to "force" the check. It won't automatically update.
Winston, any chance you can address this?
getting "failed to parse minute usage". Any advice?
Won't automatically check minutes. Have to manually "Check Usage Now" each time I need to update.
I fixed this to support prepaid accounts. Let me know how to get you the patched source.
can you post the diff here? (assuming it's not too big).
The diffs are somewhat large. You can download my dev version of the package from https://webfiles.uci.edu/jromine/firefox/tmobile_usa_minutes_used-2.1a-fx.xpi
only the minutesTicker.js file changed.
Jromine,
Nice job on the patch! it works on my prepaid now. I'll post here if there are any issues.
thanks again to the author too.
-david-
Very nice! I noticed when I search in add-ons only a very old version comes up ( from 2006 ). Could you get the stable version up on Firefox addons to make it easier to find the current version?
PS. I'd like to do an short article on your plugin once I have it working. My site is here -
http://answerfactory.blogspot.com/
Still no fix for the auto check? I still have to force it to check if I want an updated used minutes count. :(
Hey,
Google Chrome supports extensions so if it's possible to adapt this for Chrome I believe many people would be very appreciative.
Thanks.
This isn't working for me in FF 3.6 RC1. I don't see any icon in the status bar. When I open Add-ons and select Options for the add-on, it shows no dialog and I have to kill FF using Task Manager.
This is the error in the error log:
No chrome package registered for chrome://tmobile-minutes/content/tmobile-logo.png
Is anyone supporting this addon? Can we get a fixed release for 3.6? Thanks.
No longer working for me, firefox 3.6.x (fairly current(via portableapps.com)) and 3.5.(current, today .8) Linux.
It's been broken for a while, a month or two at least.
(and I need to remember to donate, this has saved my bacon on occasion).
Chrome support would be great, as I use that a lot now.
I'm also getting the "failed to parse minute usage" error, using Firefox 3.5.8 on Ubuntu 9.10.
Hmm. Doesn't work with my "Even more plus" family plan. "failed to parse minute usage" Other people reporting the same I see. 2 lines on the plan.
I updated this again to work for my prepaid account (it wasn't showing minutes used). You can download my updated release. There are some issues related to Firefox 3.6 that still need attention.
If it's broken for you on Firefox 3.5, and you know how to use Firebug, check and see what URL gets retrieved and what the JSON response looks like.
Have you tried changing the phone number? I have a new t-mobile account and when I try to enter the options in the bottom right hand corner, I can change the phone number and password, when I close out, the options aren't changed. I can change the minutes it turns red and stuff, but I can't seem to change the phone number or password. I've tried disabling the app and trying it again, no dice. I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it, but then when I go to add-ons > t-mobile extension > options it locks up the add-ons window and I have to END TASK to close it. Thoughts?
Try going to Tools > Options > Security > Saved Passwords, and removing the account information. Then enter the phone number and password into the add-on.
No longer works with Firefox 3.6.10 or Firefox 4 beta 6.
No T-Mobile version no longer works with Firefox 3.6.10 or Firefox 4 beta. :=( Any chance for an update???
T-mobile version no longer works with Firefox 3.6.10 or Firefox 4 beta 6. Any chance for an update?
I updated this again because T-Mobile fixed a typo in their server response, and to make it install on Firefox 3.6. I'm calling this version 2.1.6.
I'm on a Prepaid plan, and can't easily test the other plans' responses. If it's not working for you, and you're willing to help troubleshoot the JSON response, post a comment with your plan type and what's not working.
Hi, not working for me, just sits on 'checking usage' on FF 3.6.13, TMobile "Get More 1000 Promo" using extension 2.1.6
however it does show up on the bottom of the screen like it used to, which is an improvement :)
Please let me know if there is anything I can supply you to get it working and thanks very much for taking the time to share your work
Take a look at the instructions for dump() in https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Debugging_JavaScript
The extension writes some debugging info in the console and maybe that will help narrow down the problem.
Thanks very much for the reply John. Here's what I see in the error console:
my.t-mobile.com : server does not support RFC 5746, see CVE-2009-3555
Hope that helps!
Paul
Just to add to the information, I get the same error as listed immediately above. I have a T-mobile postpaid account.
That is, Paul's comments.
Great! Thank you so much. This is just what I'm looking for.
