Ivan,
Sorry I have missed responding to this in awhile. Can I ask if you had both date and mileage set? I'll need a little more information to fully help... reminders should be working both ways.

Hey Zeigh,
Sorry for the slow response. There should be no upper limit on import - how long of a field are you trying to import?

Very strange - have you tried restarting your iPhone by holding the power and Home buttons simultaneously for a few seconds?

Tap the $ sign on the New Gas Fill entry screen. You can then change the currency to £ or any other symbol or group of letters.

karlbecker replied on August 13, 2009 03:08 to the question "How do I add more oil types?" in KB Productions:

To add more oil types, tap New Service, then tap Edit in the top-left, then tap Oil Change, then tap Add New Subtype. Now you can name any oil type at all.

Thanks for the response ADent. I will consider adding that as an improvement to the existing functionality in a future version.

karlbecker replied on August 02, 2009 23:12 to the question "Can't get reminders to update" in KB Productions:

Maybe a quick explanation of the reminder logic is in order:
* A single reminder will automatically repeat forever. There is no need to change a reminder, unless you want to change the interval with which the reminder will repeat.
* The only way to stop the reminder from being active (either by reminding you after adding a gas entry, hiding the red number on the app icon, or making the little orange symbols by the names go away) is to enter a service entry of that type.
* So if an Oil Change reminder went off, the proper course of action is to tap New Service, select Oil Change, and tap Save.

(You can also delete the reminder completely, but then you won't be reminded)

Does this explanation help?

Sorry for not replying sooner. Unfortunately, there is no way other than jailbreaking to get those files back on your iPhone, as far as I know... did you try it? If so, what happened?

karlbecker asked a question in Microsoft Hohm on July 12, 2009 19:50:

How to encourage my energy company to sign up

How do I get my local energy companies - both gas and electricity - to supply data to Hohm?

I'm in the second largest city in Iowa, so certainly not rural, but not in a large metropolitan area.

Has anyone successfully petitioned to get their company to sign up for this or a similar service?

Yes! It is fully iPhone 3.0 functional right now. Future updates will include new functionality exclusively available withthr iPhone 3.0 developer toolkit.

karlbecker replied on June 28, 2009 22:56 to the problem "entry data MPG incorrect after partial fill." in KB Productions:

Thanks for the thorough report on this bug. I will be sure to address it in the next version of Car Care.
If you could email me directly the data around this error, by doing an email export from the app, to my carcare@karlbecker.com email address, it would help me troubleshoot this bug.

Thanks,
Karl

This is a limitation with the iPhone in general - there is no easy way to pluck files off the device or from a backup. A quick Google did turn up one way, but it will require a bit of effort:

With some work it looks like you can get it directly from the restore files on your computer. However, I have not done this, and I don't think Apple really provides an 'official' way to access or decode these archive files.

Sorry to not be more help, but eliminating the primary and secondary ways to recover data - email export from the app or restoring your entire iPhone from an iPhone backup - makes it very difficult. Perhaps the google link will help?
