I don't understand what j_metselaars means here. On my XDA2 there are three Bluetooth modes: Off, On and Discoverable. When BT is On or Discoverable there are no other settings - BT devices just work with the machine. What is this 'bluetooth headset profile' that you mention, j_metselaars? I've never heard of this, and I use a Bluetooth headset all the time.

IMHO there is a danger here that PZP will get too complicated and its original purpose will be lost. (This is what happened to MyPhone|Profiles and look how far that got! :roll: ) PZP was originally a great, simple little tool to easily control the ring mode and volume and alert settings of our phones. There is a huge hole in the market for this, as you've found, zendrui ;) but in my opinion you should draw the line here. Turning BT on and off is beyond the core requirements - we have a little BTIcon on our Today screens which does this very well already...

I would beg that you add more functionality to the modes themselves, including timed mode-switching ;) before worrying too much about controlling Bluetooth. I can't use PZP until you do this.

Apologies if I'm the only one who feels this way! :) Great work, though.

Zendrui

i myself had some problems with my xda and the combo of PZP and RTX to the point i had to hardreset to get back to a working xda2. i took the chance and updated to the latest rom version and now have a great working machine running PZP, RTX and others without problem. so it was some other crap that screwed up my xda2. so i don't think that PZP and RTX are the problem here, must be some other program...

zendrui

take your time, don't hurry, be happy ;) great job so far...

sublimatica:

good point about getting to complicatd, but with a developer being this responsive and helpfull it's easy to ask for new features that someone would find helpfull and no doubt that radio/bt on/off would be helpfull for some ;)

btw. i never had issues with Phone Profiles. the latest version is working fine on my machine and no bugs so far. ok, it's one of the few today plugins that don't refresh properly when used within dashboard, but there are others that have the same problem...

sublimatica:

or depending on the status in outlook (free, busy, ... like SmartFilter does) :)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
I don't forget and it is my goal that PZP stays simply to use and user friendly.

So if people think that it becomes too confusing to parameter let me know...

PS : I tested the BT on/off on the XDA2, it is very fast :)

PS2 : Radio on/off works on XDA1 (not on XDA2 ?) but takes time to switch ...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] j_metselaars:
Sounds great zendrui! I am also with the point to don't get it too complicated, but bluetooth on/off and phone on/off, would only help the functionality from this tool! trying to turn on bluetooth with one hand orso is impossible for the small icon! Same to phone! It would only help... But indeed, don't get it too far! Keep with the core competence.... And in my vision, the on/off features are indeed in the core competence, because it has only to do with an extra option in profiles....

The headset profile---> go to start --> settings --> today --> items and switch on profile! that should work and that is the way bluetooth headsets should be used.... less battery use.

By the way, for people not using bluetooth on the road, don't use the option in PZP!

Zen, phone on/off is always slow, could hardly be optimized...

And does Xda 2 use other registrykeys for phone on/off?

Hope to see bluetooth and phone support soon!

Keep on going Zen...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] rc:
not sure if we have discussed this earlier ( :oops: the thread has over grown and is impossible to be read thru to see of this is already asked for)

but would like to see how ppl think if we can enable speaker phone thru one of the profies...

in the car it sometimes gets a pain to hold the button down...

Version 3.4 beta

Hello,

here is the version 3.4 beta of PZP.

I tested it on XDA1 and XDA2 no crash or somethiong like that but simply as phone on/off doesn't work on XDA2 it is a beta.

So if you want test it I post it here (simply rename it in .cab instead of .zip)

It includes

- possibility to custom the mode name

- BT/radio on/off

- display custom icon on the settings page

- ask to save if something changed when you quit or change mode
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Tekflow:
I couldn't open this file, it is not valid

Or is it just me ?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] j_metselaars:
I Could!

Zen: It's working great! The Bluetooth on/off works very smooth and no problem at all.

But since I installed the new version, the bluetooth icon in the taskbar is gone! I can't switch it on and off with the icon!

Anybody else has this? Or is it just me..... How to resolve this?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] j_metselaars:
Just a little add to zendrui:

I tried out to disable PZP :cry: and then softreset, that caused the bluetooth icon to return!! So, enabling PZP :D still left the icon right there, but softreset made the icon remove.

So PZP causes some sort of removing of the bluetooth icon in the task bar. Is this possible to resolve?

By the way, Phone On/Off on the Qtek 2020 (XDA 2) I can turn it off! all signal sign are gone and calling me is not possible right then, but turning it on right then is not possible! Only a softreset will help!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
I will try that. For the bluetooth I only use the BT API from microsoft, no registry tweaking or something like that so if It causes the icon deasapears :shock:

Yes that the trouble I mentionned Phone off doesn't work on the XDA2 ... and don't know why for the moment ...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
If enable speaker if always possible when a call is received and if it means that PZP should handle incoming call this will not be possible ....

How can you enable speaker with the standard settings apart to hold the green button while calling ?

Is there a standard way to activate it for each incoming call ?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
I tried on the XDA2, I configured modes with BT on/off/discoverable select one of them then soft reset and this for each BT combination ...

The BT icon is still here ..?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] j_metselaars:
Pretty strange! I had some trouble with it, but now, since I changed the settings a couple of times as described above, no porblem at all! The icon stays there with everything I do!!!

So no problems at all!! Good job again zendrui!

Only thing which keeps it from a normal release is the phone on/off thing... Otherwise it could be a normal version!!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] j_metselaars:
Nope, only way to activate is to push and hold the green button during a phonecall! Also automatic enabling isn't possible. So it could be that there is a registry tweak for it, but normally just hold the green button.... Which is not that ignoring I think....
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Tekguru:
Ref the disappearing BT icon, we've been investigating this on Tekguru, and a common cause we have found which will give rise to the problem is if an alternate SIP like FITALY is used and it is set to be the default SIP instead of the regular keyboard. If the keyboard is set as the standard device the BT icon reappears. Weird.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] j_metselaars:
I have no idea if this is a problem with PZP, but having some looks at my device and the installed software learned me the following:

I have Omega One's Battery Pack 2004 installed on my Qtek. I think this causes a little problem with PZP and bluetooth! Because after a softreset with both (Battery Pack and PZP) enabled on the todayscreen, the bluetooth icon disappears!! So something happens right there! If one of both is disabled (PZP or Battery Pack) nothing is wrong! So there should be a little conflict between both regarding the bluetooth! Regard that I just use the battery bar, not the program bar.

Zen, do you know what this could be? If you need the full version of Battery Pack, please email me, so I can provide you (although it's shareware....) But in the case of a investigation, we should all cooperate :lol:

So, that is the thing I found out, anyone else???
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Panja:
Hey Zendrui,

I recently purchased a copy of your excellent software!

Thanks for bringing us this great tool.

Can you tell me how I can set a custom message sound.

I have a file I would like to use as sms sound.

I ofcourse know how to change the sound but I cant seem to find my custom file in list of sounds.

Thanks in advance.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Normally you simply have to copy it on your windows directory to see it in PZP...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Panja:
I tried that...

I have a midi file I copied there. Didnt work.

So I converted to WMA, still no luck...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
If you go to start->settings->sounds&notifications do you see it ? if not this means that wma or midi are not supported as notif tone.

I also don't remember if wma or midi are supported by Wince/WM2003/WM5 as notif tone ..?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] agiorgitis:
zendrui i have a small problem. Suddenly, from yesterday, it stopped showing me the little "V" to the selected profile. When i change from one profile to another, it changes (i see that from the different light intensity i have assigned the screen in each profile), but i don't get the "v" next to it... :?

Using beta 11

GPRS

Somone else reported me that with GPRS option he had trouble with the connections :cry:

So I think I will removed it for the 5.5. definitive...

I will post a beta 12 without GPRS soon
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Version 5.5 beta 12

The version 5.5 beta 12 is on web site

Real VGA display support

PZPSettings opening problem corrected

Truncated icons problem corrected

GPRS option definitively disabled (someone else reported that with beta 10 GPRS had trouble)

...

EDIT : Seems VGA icons are not well displayed. I'm checking that.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Wifi ?

I'm a little frustating cause I found some code to maybe turn on/off the wifi but I cannot test :x

So in the same place as the GPRS I replace by wifi and hope that someone could tell me if it works or not ... (english version of the settings only as a first try)

Pocketzenphone Beta

Thanks Zendrui
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] mlk:
I cant seem to access the WiFi option - I have downloaded Beta 12 & woudl love to test this for you... is there anything I am missing?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Sorry there was a mistake in the package

So I put in the beta page, the beta 12 only with the english package but with correction for the VGA display support and Wifi option.

Both things I cannot test so please give me your feedback.

Thanks :)

beta 12 today screen refresh

Hi

I just installed beta 12 on my M500 (Magician) and noticed that on the today screen if I open programs or other windows, when I go back to the today screen the PZP icons are not shown. I either get the background of the today screen or some of the screen from the window I was previously in.

I had beta 9 on before and didn't notice these problems.

Also what is the difference between this version and the freeware version which seems to be 4.5.1

thanks

Re: beta 12 today screen refresh

I did notice some other posts on here regarding it. Anyway I uninstalled, did a soft reset and installed it again and it seems to be working ok now. I'll keep my eye on it

beta 12 today screen refresh

I get this same problem. The today screen doesn't refresh and then Settings no longer works. Timed mode switches still work though. I'm using a T-Mobile MDA Compact which I think is also a HTC Magician and the same as an Orage M500. Maybe device specific ?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Mr.P:
GPRS problem with PZP on JAM

This problem seems to be difficult to overcome particular for JAM even in this Beta 12. When I use this beta 12 the GPRS has difficulty to reconnect but when I revert to 5.3 there is no problem.

The problem may or may not involve with GPRS connection code directly. It may include some other codes that you have to find out why there is no problem with V.5.3 at all for JAM user.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
For GPRS I don't know. GPRS code is disabled but maybe there is something ... I will check

Same for the display problem. I have a S100 (eg Jam) but whatever I try display is correct so it is hard for me to find why this can happen but I will check again and again until it is fine ;)

Just to remember that beta 12 with wifi modified and a try to support real VGA is on the site. Let me know for those who have wifi ;)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] happyhiker:
I have just gone back to 5.3 version on my i-mate jam, but still get lockup on display and settings don't work. the PZPTray still works fine(except settings) So maybe its not due to code change between 5.3 and 5.5, or maybe I'm doing something very stupid :(
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
No I don't think you so something stupid (apart if you didn't install the tools ;)

Some user reported me the display problem so there surely something or that interact with PZP or that I need to correct in PZP. I will find I will ;)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] mlk:
WiFi

Bad news, I'm afraid... on first install, setting WiFi to on lost a whole bunch of settings data from the PocketZenMode4.txt file, so I had to do some dancing to get all of theat back (actually lost the Wifi Setting and about 5 states after that). Once I had everything set to go, changed the state and unfortunately no cigar - no movement on the WiFi at all, I'm afraid. I am using an iPaq 6365 (same as all the other 6300 series) running 1.11.10 BIOS, WM2003... hope this helps, let me know if you need more.

5.5 beta 12 last step

Ok time to stop to play and release this 5.5 version ;)

So new web site published :D wth the beta 5.5 beta 12 multi languages.

No GPRS, No wifi...

I modified a little PZPToday to see if the display refresh is better.

Apart that point I won't modified 5.5 anymore (if there is still real VGA support problem, and wifi, GPRS issues... all will be looked in the next version just after the 5.5)

thanks again for all the tests and feedback you give me :)

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] mtbsoft:
Now here's an interesting observation...

I just installed beta 11 the other day and then soft reset. The device was already in a phone on mode (mode 3) when I reset and, because I'd installed all three components of PZP, the Today plug-in was now displayed.

What surprised me was that the phone automatically re-enabled - I presume that the Today plug-in ran the mode 3 settings and that this was the reason. This doesn't happen with the task bar interface which is the normal one I use, I generally have to turn to a phone off and back to a phone on mode after a soft reset.

Can anyone else confirm this behaviour, has it always done it (I don't always install the Today version)? If it is the Today plug-in doing it, is there anw way to make the task bar versoin do it too?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Avalon-99:
Hi Zendrui

can we expect a new version of PZPtraypatcher which supports 7 Icons?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
There was a bug about this point in the beta 11. I corrected and re-updated the beta 12 package this morning.

So actually it works like that for both PZPTray and PZPToday : when they are started, if mode selected was with phone off, it applyes mode settings and so turn phone off.

If mode selected was with phone on it doesn't force phone on (it created trouble in a previous version) but it will be done automatically by the OS.

So to resume when you restart if you had a mode with phone on the phone will be on if you had a mode with phone off, phone will be off...

I asked that author but didn't get an answer from now...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] romix:

Yes right the main pages are designed for Desktop display.

But I made the download page to be PPC display compatible PZPLogin

I could maybe make also PPC page for the beta ?

Re: translations

Sorry no I didn't look that :?

I can try to look but with GPRS option disabled I don't see what in PZP could make trouble with GPRS again.

Well actually I didn't test to install PZP on a storage card.

Best try would be you install it on a main memory to check if all is ok until I validate that installation on storage card works ;)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Docdiver:
Ok i try to reinstall PZP on main memory and i saw if error messages stop. Do you think to install pzp on storage card is not a good think for save memory.

i like to do a shortcut to stop all progs and come back on today page when i choose a mode could you give me the command line i have to write.

thank you for help and excuse me for my bad english but i don't find french forum
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Well I think that normally PZP would run on storage card but first today plugin are not often welcome in storage card and two I need to check more in details ;)

But that's sure that install on storage card could save some memory so I will take a look.

To stop all the progs and come back to today screen I don't know how to do sorry :(

Do people that use beta 12 and custom icon (32*32) for example have the problem of cut icons ?

Yeah Actually I did get that problem on my i-mate jam when I tried to make custom icons, I just shrunk everything to 24*24. It might have been me doing it wrong though. I think I only had the first icon as 32*32 and some of the others were 24*24, but if someone else reported it too....

Re: translations

There are some news about this issue that seems to involve many users; I read right yesterday that it looks like an interpherence made by the Caller_ID application.

Make sure you disable it and soft reset.

On some devices it is enough to remove the Caller_id.lnk from the Startup, in other devices you also need to hack a bit the registry to avoid caller_id to startup, but nothing dangerous.

I did it and I can connect with GPRS as much times as I need without SR.

Try it out and let me know; PZP is not responsible for this.

Cheers

Personnally I always had the problem from my XDA1 to my S100 with or wihtout PZP. Iread that thread here about the fact that CallerID could cause that but even by installing an old version as described I still had the problem.

But that doesn't mean that PZP could cause some trouble too. But apart the the option to check incoming call to turn on bluetooth if needed I don't see what I added since 5.3 to have this trouble... I keep looking

First: did you delete the caller_ID.lnk (the name could differ a bit depending on the ROM version but you should recognise it for sure) from your windows\startup folder ?

Then soft reset and make a call to your phone to check if it is disabled.

If this works there is no need to go into the registry. :lol:
