It is understandable that, InitVol is located in the system registry, but the registry is only loaded once when the system is soft-reset.

During any call, user can change the speaker volume by hand. The system remember the changed value in RAM, so the PZP can not touch it or didn't know how to touch it.

It might be possible to set the speaker volume only when a call is in progress.

If PZP want to set speaker volume during a call, it must have a chance to know when a call comes in (be triggered). But there is no need at all for PZP to do this. Set a InitVol is good enough.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Anubis:
Thanks Waladany for your kind reply, I will try the option you mentioned and fee you back :wink:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] iggy:
exactly huanggx, that was my main concern I would like\need the speaker volume on full all the time (who knows, might be going deaf in my young age). It was a real problem because the V4 had each mode set to a different level Mode 2 = 2 mode 3=3 etc. So I am having a conversation one minute the next I can't hear the person I was speaking to, big problem for me. The main thing is I never change my volume unless I am using a headset which does not mess around with the initvolume.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] j_metselaars:
Thanx Huanggx for the clear explanation! That is the problem Zendrui had to do this! Just the problem that it would only change at a softreset! Good job!

I indeed think that it is not the idea of PZP to change in call speaker volume, although it would be nice to some!

But nice to have this clear!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] huanggx:
Hi

What I think is, the speaker volume can only be changed when a call is in progress. The changed value for speaker volume is stored in RAM. The system will never read the volume setting for speaker volume from the registry, unless you committed a soft-reset.

That is why you can only set the initail volume for speaker.

I think it is unerstandable. The system need not retrieve the registry again and again to change the speaker volume.

If speaker volume changed by hand while you are in a call, and then it is changed by some program without notice you, when next call comes in, you will feel annoying.

The possible way to change (not to set ) the speaker volume is to find the lvalue in RAM or fin an API to change it.

By doing so, you have to get a chance to do it. I mean you have to be triggered when a call is coming....
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] echapeta:
Zen,

How you can increase the font you see when you have an incomming call ?

Sometimes the phone is ringing and you are driving your car and you can't read the name and / or phone number with only a glance.

Congratulations for your job !

V 4.0 and ROM 1.72

Hello Folks!

Has anybody problems with V 4.0 and ROM V 1.72?

I want to try the new version but dont want to damage my installation because i had to install everything new after ROM Update.

what problems are possible?

does the problems come imideadly after install? is everithing ok when the software runs after install or is there some problems during use?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
I still know that there sometimes trouble with volume. And that the version 4 beta 2 worked well on rom 1.72. I will check that when I will come back.

But if some people have feedbacks (good or bad) about PZP 4.0 and rom 1.72 please give them :)

While talking feedbacks is there trouble with the version 4.0 (bugs ...) on other rom ? Please do not hesitate to tell me :)

And after if all is ok, I will look for the speaker volume and ask for what could be done in a next release...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] GumbErculeS:
I have been having problems with my alarm with the last to versions, beta 9 and v4. My PZP settings are switch to mode 1 (radio off, BT off) at 1:00 and then back to mode 3 at 7:00 (radio on, BT on). The problem I have is that the alarm doesn't make a sound, the alarm popup box comes up, the led flashes and it vibrates, but it doesn’t make a sound. :shock:

I know there are issues with the alarm in WM2003 and I have changed the registry entry that controls the amount of time my device wakes up to perform maintenance. The problem only happens when PZP is installed, the alarm does go off but there is no sound (and yes my device isn’t muted at the time the alarm goes off either).

Has anybody else experienced this???
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] pystein:
Hi!

I am not able to fill in the security code for SIM-card in the PocketZenPhone, because the keyboard is not available. Am I missing something?

Ø :(
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] GumbErculeS:
No you aren't missing anything, its just because you tried to enter it by accessing the config screen from the today screen, and for some reason the bottom bar doesn't get drawn so you can access the keyboard.

The way to get around this is to access the screen using the other method. Go to Start > Settings > Today > Items, then highlight PZP and tap Options and enter the code from there.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
When the alarm comes ? When you are in mode1 ? if yes in mode1 system volume is 0 by default ...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Well keyboard display works well for me even from today screen... :?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] GumbErculeS:
No I meant to say it changes back to mode 3 (which is medium sound level) before the alarm activates. And this should be a problem because i have set mode 1 to have medium sound as well...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] GumbErculeS:
Hmmm... It doesn't for me. I am using WisBar Advance though, maybe it has something to do with that. :?:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Could you check that "settings->phone->other settings->enable sound" for programs/notifcations is enabled ?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] GumbErculeS:
Yeah this is enabled.

Its a weird problem, some of the earlier betas worked fine, I had no alarm problems, but then this verson doesn't want to play the actual sound. :?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
I will check.

For now I'm in mode3 middle system volume level ...

And I hear my alarm the morning ...

Well whatever I will check the diff between betas and the v4 ;)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] GumbErculeS:
Ok great :D

The problem got weirder this moring... The alarm worked! It went off without a hitch. Ill keep testing it for a few more days and see if its stuffs up again.

Hopefully it won't :wink:

Dear Zendrui,

Sorry, but I found a bug in Time settings of PocketZenPhone 4.0:

My profile: Mode 1,2,3,4: Radio-On, Bluetooth-No Change. Mode 5: Radio-Off, Buletooth-No Change.

When I setup time settings in Mode 5: :switch at ... and then back at ... to Mode 3". It works well. I can see one in-active event named "WakeZenPhone.exe" and I understand that it carry out the schedule automatically. But when I also setup time settings in another Mode, "WakeZenPhone.exe" event is disapear so that time settings doesn't work.

My device: O2 XDA II, Windows Mobile 2003.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Hello,

Don't be sorry for finding a bug ;)

When you say "whe n I also setup time settings in another mode" what do you mean ?

That if you set switch at.. then back at ... to mode 3 for the mode2 it doesn't work ?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Rabia:

Weekdays scheduling

Hello zendrui,

Are you thinking about weekdays based profile scheduling? As there was written before?

I think that it will be much clear for understood to schedule profile switching in some dynamic (unlimited) list where I will specify for each row: time, weekdays, profile to switch to.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
I wait (and check) to be sure the version 4.0 is "bug free" and stable on any rom, but after that why not a week day scheduling ...

Hello,

I tried to check differences between beta 2 and the release.

So here is a version 4.1.1

I changed some little things but not sure it will have an impact for those who had trouble with PZP 4 and rom 1.72.

But if 1.72 rom owner could try .... thanks (please make sure to backup your xda2 before ...)

I also have a look at the speaker volume.

I enabled the speaker volume slider as it was previously.

So as says upper in the thread it doesn't set the speaker volume dynamically but only set the initial speaker volume after a soft reset.

Hi,

it seems to do exactly what i want, without a lot of other crap getting in the way.

Havent stumbled on any bugs yet, but it seems that you guys are all working hard on improving this piece of software.

Well, i'm off again, have to tweak the settings to exactly how i want them :-)

On which device did you try ? Which ROM ?

Did you set a different ring mode for each modes ?

If yes what are they ?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] nickpope:
Hi Zenduri,

I found the problem last night - I had not been making any settings in the 'Ring Settings' tab.

The issue I have now is with assigning the ring tone - is it possible to leave this as the default?

I use V2R Calller2Picture for assigning different ringtones to contacts. Assigning a ringtone in PZP overrides this. Is there any setting I can make to prevent this or are the two applications not compatable.

Thanks for your time!

Hi Zendrui,

fantastic work.

Over Night I had no Problem with the Timesettings. Early in the morning it changed from Radio off to Radio on.

Securitycode, SIM Pin Code and powersaving were on.

Till now, I found no bugs, with ROM 1.60.00GER!!!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Just could you tell me with XDA (1 or 2) and which Rom you use ?

Because on XDA2, ROM 1.72 it seems there could be problem such as phone volume always to 0...

About software to assign specific rig tone to contact, it is not incompatible with PZP.

PZP only sets ringtone such as you could do using the standard settings.

It doesn't handle calls so shouldn't interfer with such program...

Personnally I tested with phonect and no problem..

Thanks to te help of Willem Ditters from www.pocketpc-club.nl ;) it seems that the problem comes from a bad initialization of PZP.

And mostly the ring mode. So could you try to re-set for each mode the ring mode ?

And after selecting one mode (mode1,mode2...) could you tell me what you see if in settings->phone when you click on 'ring type' combo ?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] coercri:
I know there is alot going on in this thread but I wanted to add two 2 pence.

What I would love is for each profile to be able to run a program, so it would change all the volume etc then run the specified program.

Examples of the uses for this are -

1 Change to BT profile, then run Tom Tom Navigator

2 Change to a lower volume for use with headset (so as not to blow your head off whilst listening to music) then start Media Player or other MP3 player, but there are other uses.

What are the chances zendrui?

can't change settings anymore

Hi folks,

First, I want to say that Zendrui is a genius and above all a gentleman, and we should all give him credit for that.

I have installed version 4 and everything worked fine for 2 days. But since yesterday, when I go to "settings", I get blank fields: ie no more "mode1", ring tones and all the stuff. So I'm totally unable to change the settings. I tried uninstall/reinstall, soft reset, install v4.1.1 but nothing works. I still get the first settings I did, and blank fields unable to change anything.

Can anyone help with this?

Thanks and regards to Zendrui

Hi Zendrui, if u can remember me, i am the one who told u that i had a hard rest when i installed V4 with 1.72 ROM. Kindly note that it happaned again to me, but with V4 Beta 2. What happ exacltly is that:

1- I found out that the bluetooth icon disappear sometimes after soft rest,

2- In addition, when i tried to do a softreset, I found that the reset takes too long, and it keeps on the blue IMATE startup screen for a minute or somthing.

3- Sometimes the windows starts, and sometimes it could not start, so I had to do a soft reset while it is still on the blue startup window.

4- One of times, when it could not start, I made a softreset again, then I found it doing a hard reset.

5- I downgraded the ROM to 1.52 version with V4 BETA 2. So far so good, and i tried many softrests and the bluetooth icon still there. (hope to stay like this) heheh

I will keep u updated if somthing happ.

PocketZenPhone - 4.0 - new idea

Hi Zendrui, first of all :idea: it's a great program runnung without any problems on XDA/MDA with WM2003, congratulations .

However during the use, some improvement ideas are comming up.

Here my point : In case that you are for some days out of town, not taking the device with you. During the absent time the device will switch according to the settings, but you wanna have the radio remaining switched off complete( overriding all time settings in other modes).

Presently you have to take off PZP from the "today" plug in. Would it be possible to add a mode switching off the radio and it remains OFF without touching the different modes ??

This feature would be valuable in that case you're using 2 SIM-cards with the same number but different mobilphones. (by T-mobil called twin-card)

Always the last one switched on, is booked in the network.

The other one is blocked.

So, if the MDA/XDA switches on at home, the other mobile is fu......:oops: no calls, no sms comming in and you don't get any notice.

Best regards

cimber

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Re: can't change settings anymore

Well like this no idea. I'm curently adding a export option in PZP to allow to see if all is well installed and well set. Waiting you could just look if you have this key \HKLM\software\microsoft\today\item\pocketzenphone well filled.

First time I hear that... No problem for me but I will look

Well all the indications make me fell that there is some differences in the rom 1.72 :( Did you try the version 4.0 on the Rom 1.52 ?

Why not just disabled the time settings to keep PZP in a radio off mode ?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] tadzio:
Re: PocketZenPhone - 4.0 - new idea

I agree, but let me rephrase it a bit more genericly:

I would like to have a switch called "suspend automatic mode switching" or something similar. When turned on, no automatic mode switching occurs. Of course, the settings of the five modes are not changed. If that switch is later turned off again, normal automatic mode switching resumes.

While this switch is ON, manual mode switching should still be possible.

Of course, the state of that switch (especially the ON state) must be displayed very clearly on the Today Screen. Otherwise, Zendrui will get many, many support questions from users who think PocketZenPhone is broken and does not switch their modes any longer. :-)

As for the implementation: currently, if you tap'n'hold on the Today Screen, you are taken to the settings page directly. Why not insert a menu there that has the entries

Suspend automatic mode switching

Settings...

The first entry would change to "Resume automatic mode switching" if mode switching is currently disabled.

Cheers

Daniel

For the next version

Hello,

for now I'm looking to add Import/Export Settings.

This will help to to find why PZP has trouble on the Rom 1.72.

But for the next next release I noticed :

- add the possibiblity to disabled time switch

As PZP is supposed to be used to set Phone modes.

So the 'run a program' is it really needed ?

What think all the people ?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] j_metselaars:
Re: For the next version

Don't think that there is really a need for, because I really don't have a program started all the time when enabling a mode! It really is a phonemode switcher, not a programswitcher, please don't implement this...

Re: For the next version

I agree with you
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] BRosenow:
I have to agree as well.

I'm sure that the list of additions to the program could go on endlessly - but at some point it becomes so complicated to configure and use, and becomes so HUGE because of all of the functions, that it begins to slow down the operation of the phone AND the PDA. I believe that the additons we have seen this far improve on the original idea of the software - which is executed exceptionally well I might add - this new suggestion changes it into another program altogether.

Just my .02
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Yes I agree too that's why I asked ...

PZP is here to allow to switch easily before modes for phones ... and I want to keep it clear and easy to use ...

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] huanggx:
Hi there

I agreed that a software should not include too many functions, especially those beyond the main goal.

But I have a suggestion - a tiny function needed: netwarok connection settings should be associated with PZP modes.

If it is in Home and Work mode, the network connection could be in "Enterprise" setting that the PDA can access the Internet through PC.

If it is in Out-Door mode, the network connection could be in "Internet" setting that the PA can access the Internet through GPRS....

It is not hard to do, isn't it?

Hi Zendrui

a tiny bug:

when change between modes, sometimes, PZP unchecked the Program under the Start Menu/Setting/Sound & Reminder. It will make no sound reminder for notifications.

It happens quite often and I am sure it caused by PZP.

I make it clearer:

tap on Start/Settings/Personal/Sound & Remonder, on the screen, there is a checkbox prior to "Progeam". This checkbox wwa sometimes being unchecked when switching between modes.

Version 4.1.2

Ok,

so here is the version 4.1.2.

With one major thing : the export/import Settings buttons :D

So for each mode separatively you can now export/imports/reset to default all the settings.

I will ask you later if you want an automatic save when clicking on the export button but for now you have to save before export.

For all and particularly for those who had trouble with volume level always to 0, they can get the export file under "Program Files\PocketZenPhone\PocketZenModex.txt" (for the english roms, for the other german... please confirm me that it is ok), and check (or send me) if something is missing.

I also add a TimeLog.txt to log each time settings happening to see why some people does not have switch when then allow 2 switch times (this one will be disabled once the version 4 will be bug free)

As always all the comments are welcome ;)
