zen, please let me know what's the actual released version and what the beta... i somehow lost track on all released versions here at pocketgear, handango and your site. sorry, but i'm so busy at the moment that i couldn't follow your releases one by one... and do i have to purchase again (i donated before) to get the newest version with all the new functions. just let me know and i'm over at pocketgear/handango...

Hello,

right, time menu doesn't work. I think I put the wrong .cab in this forum :oops:

I will correct that tomorrow. For now I removed the 4.9.1.

This version is time limited as I think to buy only this new one.

The version 4.5.x will stay free for those who don't want to buy.

Of course for those who still bought or donated the updates will be free
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] j_metselaars:
Ok, that was something I already was thinking of! But maybe there is a good idea to give everybody their own serialnumber and with their number they can log onto your site to download the program. That helps you to keep away from lots of emails.

Another idea is to register PZP with a personal serial when installed and that it would be kept in the registry after updating! And maybe it could be hardware linked, so everyone gets its own locked code!! Like with Phone Plus or something.

The first idea is still the most easiest way I think, just make a website with some normal information and a part for people to log on when they have a serialnumber (and a password) like any other membersite (like XDA-developers)

What do you think Zen?

And I still support the idea that you would like to get your XDA2
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] david beckham:
hi zen

I hope you will still keep everything free...its because PocketZenPhone is supposed to be a freeware all along, if you comes out with something that needs to pay, we will be very sad. It should all the while be remained a freeware as you first stated in your first post.

Why the next versions will be saved

I will try to explain why I decided to buy the next versions.

The goal is still still the XDA2, for my personnal use and to help me to test PZP on it.

If I don't sell PZP, I won't be able to buy a XDA2 before I can change my phone operator (a sim free XDA2 costs too much). And I cannot do that before october/november (I don't remember well when my contracts ends)

I personnally don't buy many softwares on Pocket PC but if it can help and if it is usefull I do. I did for Crazy Kart to help french game developers, I do it for SPB finance as I use it every day, and I think I will do it for weather panel.

I will never buy a software 30€ but 5 to 10€ it is nothing if the soft is great...

I did hope that the people who use PZP will donate (at least 1€ as I worte in my web site 16000 connexions... if I got 0.1€/connexion) but it is not the case. So buy is the only way.

Moreover the version 4.5.1 still stays free and it is not a light version. It has the standard functiuns and I guess is usefull. This versions is now stable, no bug reporting yet, no rom installation problem (just maybe conflict with pocketskype for Avalon99 we are currently asking why)

So if people doesn't want to buy it they can use the 4.5.1

... I hope you all don't think I take the bad decision...

Zendrui
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] k_kirk:
Zendrui, I think this is a very fair decision! Keep up the good work!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] ednap:
OK, understand.

PS. In my view I have no problem with your selling your application, if people want to use it then it's only fair to pay for it.

Re: Why the next versions will be saved

And what do you think about the idea I described a couple of posts above? Saying to lock your site for downloads with password and serial? Or lock it at the hardware configuration (every phone another serial)?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Yes I think I will put a protection.

And for sure it will be usefull to allow people to get the updates with the key they get the first time they bought.

I will see if it is complicated to put in place.

Version 4.9.1

So the version 4.9.1 comes back.

With the good .cab ;)

Still time limited to 20/07/2004.

(rename the .zip in .cab)

The menu.zip is some examples for the duration icons
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] BRosenow:
Zen - I also agree that PocketZenPhone has evolved to such a point that charging for it is perfectly reasonable. The important thing will be to make sure that those who have purchased a prior version or donated already will continue to recieve free updates.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] j_metselaars:
I made some new icons for the Time Menu. Have a look at the screenshot below to see if you like them.

Only thing to Zendrui: You see that everywhere there is a little small purple bar next to the icons (I think 1 pixel width), but between 15 and 30 there is no little bar, and at the left of 15 there is a wider bar (like 2 pixels). I know it is just a little thing, but to have it perfect..... (Maybe move the 15 icon 1 pixel to the left)

Or maybe you can make sure that they all will be perfectly next to each other, no purple line.... (maybe make the icons 34 or 35 in width or so)

problems with 4.5.1

I have been using PZP on XDA I for months with no problems, last week I got my new Imate and flashed it with ROM 1.72 WWE and RSU 1.14

I installed PZP 4.5.1 and I couldn't use it coz it doesn't save its configuration no matter how I try ... also, it keeps the phone volume to silent all the time.

any known issues with this ROM ?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] j_metselaars:
Zen, at last I'm activated too to pay by Paypal, so donation is on it's way! Keep on doing the great work!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Yes of course those who still donated or bought a version will have unlimited free updates !

I didn't notice that. I will correct that no prob ;)

brightness also in PZP?

There is one functionality that I think might be handy to add to PZP, and that is to change the brightness of the display through the PZP profiles.

I often read an e-book before i go to bed, and i always change the telephone to the quiet-mode through pzp, and then i have to manually change the brightness as well.. would be cool if it all worked with the press of a button.

are there others that would also like this function?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] j_metselaars:
Re: brightness also in PZP?

I think that has absolutely nothing to do with the main function of PZP. Plugins as Battery Pack and SPB Pocket Plus have these features in their software, so, we can ask to enlarge the software with anything! (Turn on the coffee machine when setting your profile to "at home") But the main reason is, I do think it is not usefull to add. Through Battery Pack or Pocket Plus is a very easy way to change backlight!

:D Greets :D
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] j_metselaars:

Errors with PZP (4.5.1)

Long time no problems... its time for some :oops:

yesterday after a scheduled backup, I made Soft Reset. The system didn't come up again, and was stucked on the blue i-Mate screen (why the error scrren are always blue??) .

I had no choice but to hard reset the unit, and then restore it. I did so and it was stuck again. I suspect PZP is the problem..... and it was true. I made a restore, just without PZP, this time everything was OK.

Another minor problem is that when I try to rename he mode names I cannot get the keyboard up, so I cannot type anything.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] k_kirk:
j_metselaars said :

I totally disagree with you and think there is merit to Koesper's idea.! One could use this function in other situations where phone volume / ring patterns are changed. I.e. when you are at the movies etc.

Lets allow ideas to prosper and Zendrui to make the ultimate call on what he chooses to implement!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
I looked that. I corrected the difference between icon 1 and 2 and reajust the coordinates.

But to avoid purple line, icons must have 34pixels width ...

So I allowed me to resize yours :oops:

Looks what it looks like and tell me if is is ok for you ;)

Simply replace PockeZenPhoneMenu on your Pocket (in the PZP installation path)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Re: Errors with PZP (4.5.1)

Well I didn't look yet :lol:

I wait that the 4.9.1 will be well tested and validated then I will look for that just before the release.

Damn :cry: Do you have any clue about what changed ? If you restored then install PZP -> problem ?

For the keyboard you mean it doens't appear at all ?

Re: Errors with PZP (4.5.1)

For the keyboard to popup, you have to be in the first page, (volume settings) and then click on the button with the ...

For the hardreset problem, I can hardly believe that it is PZP on its own. Do you have PocketSkype or PocketWinC installed?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] david beckham:
very very very disappointed at the decision of you selling PZP since you mention from the start that PZP will stay forever a freeware. Since you maintain your stand that selling PZP is because of you wanting to get an XDA 2, so does it mean that after you got your XDA 2, PZP will revert back to freeware again???
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] j_metselaars:
Really like that, but I also like the little purple line between the icons, so I don't know which I like more! I like the purple little line to let it show that it has separate icons. Maybe I will add a black line some time.

Thanks Zen for the change made in PocketZenPhoneMenu!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] amir77a:
Nothing was changed... the problem just came out of the blue...

I do not have skype or WinC installed at all.

I found out that when I restored my old settings, the problem occured, so I manually configure it up again.

BTW the export or import buttons do not seems to respond at all.

This must be PZP problem, as I described above.

The Keyboard problem is OK. I did as I was told... it's OK.

BTW what is the purpose of the Notif setting screen?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Well I understand and I think about that a long time but as the version 4.5.1 stays free I think it is a good deal.

The 4.5.1 includes, I think, all the important functiunalities with no limitation : volume/ring/notif/radio/switch/sounds/time menu/icons custom...

So you just have to buy PZP if you want to help me or just if you absolutely needs the latest features.

Moreover PZP doesn't cost 30€ but just 8€.

8€ it is a price a maxi best of in McDonald with an icecream ;)

PS : By the way if you want to buy PZP, the donation is still the best way as handango or PocketGear keep 30%.

Yes I think that the best way is to add a black line in the icons ;)

Glad you like the modifcation.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] BRosenow:
Zen -

If I am not mistaken, the function of tap-and-hold then pressing no buttons and tap-and-hold then pressing the X button perform the same function. Right? They both switch to the selected mode with no return time set? I propose that if no button is pressed, the mode is not changed. It seems to me that this would provide for leaving the mode as-is for accidental tap-and-hold action.

Make sense?

Yes - a lot of, actually. So I second this suggestion. :-)

Could you try with the 24*24 PDA Device pictures provided on the web site ?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] j_metselaars:
Yes Zendrui, it works for me! And I can tell you that you did an excellent job again! Making the fifth icon myself, I'm not that artistic!

I think that the option for a small popup menu doesn't make sense, because switching it just by one fingerclick, when you are in a car or walking into a meetingroom, is very usefull. I don't think it works to get your stylus just to switch profile before a meeting! Takes to much time.

Zendrui, excellent job!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] MrMacMax:
I already use the ones from your page. But I still have the blue phones instead of the PDA icons :lol:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Sorry I don't see what could be wrong ?

Did you click on a blue phone picture to see if no pictures is taken in account (I mean checked or unchecked) ?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] MrMacMax:
I found the mistake: at the older version we (german) had to install a special folder. now it's fine just to copy them into "Programme \ pocketzenphone".

All functions are running perfectly. We only need more sexy icons :lol:

Hi Zen,

Would it be interesting to have the opportunity to set a ring in the "Notifs settings" zone instead of just a basic sound just like alarm1 and so on ...

On my previous phone (a NOKIA one) i set a special song in case of SMS so that i always knew which type of event it was because a single bip ... sometimes i don't hear it !

Is that a stupid request or not :?:

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Avalon-99:
Hi, back from Austria and found one bug:

For Example,

Mode1 - sounds -

Events - checked

Programs - checked

Notifs -checked

Mode2 - sounds -

Events - unchecked

Programs - unchecked

Notifs -unchecked

When I change to Mode2, all Sounds are not disabled, I hear Systemsound and so on.

Then I go to Start - Settings - Sounds & Notifs and I see, that events, Programs and Notifs are unchecked.

When I leave settings, it works, all Sounds are deactivated.

This means, when I change sounds with PZP, it has no effect on sounds.

But when I open and close without changing Start - Settings - Sounds & Notifs it works.

I hope you understand, what I mean.

Times switch from menu works good.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Yes I understand.

In fact I tested by doing same as you.

select a mode with all unchecked and look if it was the same in the standard sounds settings and select a mode with all checked and verify too.

But I didn't try to select a mode with all uncheck and without going to the standard sounds settings, look if the XDA had really the sounds were disabled.

PZP vs caller2picture

Dear Zendrui,

I have one question. I have used Caller2Picture, a utility which can assign specific ringtone to specific contact. It worked fine before I installed the PZP.

Do you know how to solve this problem ? or could you recommend any other similar software similar to Caller2Picture which can be compatible with PZP ?

4.5.1

I dunno abt you guys but ever since i downloaded the 4.5.1 the Headset enable/disable just wouldn't change on the Today screen (I've set an Icon to off both BT and Headset). Have to manually tap on the headset icon.

But after trying out a few senarios, it works OK after we select the phone screen, I mean the headset enable/disable will change automoticallyafter we select the phone.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Re: 4.5.1

It is just a refresh problem. I didn't find a way to refresh the today screen yet (and so the BT headset profile plugin)

This means that even if you configure a mode with headset off, click on this mode (assuming the BT headset was on), the icon of the profile plugin is not refreshed. But the headset is well turned off.

So just make some tries to be convinced that PZP turns well on/off the BT headset and do not use any more the profile plugin ;)
