Ok I have THE big question :P !

What about the settings window color ?

Someone told that the purple was really not a god idea ... :?

What do you think ?

Don't really have a problem with the colour it currently is. The screens are readable, clear and well laid out.

Stick with it as it is otherwise I can see every colour under the sun being suggested. :lol:

Hi.

Request if i may and apologies if already requested but this thread is HUGE :wink: .

Anyway, i like PZP and all the options it gives you for its various profiles but i couldnt see any options for altering the power settings within a profile. BTHTools allows you to have only 2 profiles (no bells and whistles) but allows the recording of power settings under each profile so that you can conserve power under normal use (turns off if left on accidentlally, dim the screen etc) and then allows you to have a profile suited to GPS navigation (doesnt switch itself off and screen is as bright as it goes etc). i also like the timer feature for the BTHTools as it disables BT if no signal is received within 60 secs.

Is it possible to have the power features implemented into PZP?

if not, is it possible for yourself and Tobias (email: tobias.waldvogel@realtech.de) to combine your packages as it would be an awesome package offering just about every configuration option within the profiles.

Again, apologies if this has already been requested and if already available, which tab are they under?

i look forward to your reply.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Hello,

the idea to have a power setting in PZP is not excluded.

I note it but for a future version :wink:

- Avalon99 : I'm sorry but I don't see why it freezes on your MDA2 ... a program conflict ..?

I tried on both XDA freshly har reseted and on XDA2 too but no problem :?

- Hawk : I looked but seems I cannot flash the Qtek2020 to have arabization... :( Don't know why it couldn't save settings when arabization is enabled ... will look if I can get more information.

- To all : I will try to see if there is an alternative but it seems that it is not possible to take in account the reccurrent appts.

Because the start date of all the reccurences is the start date of the first occurence. And as I only look for appt with a start date >= current date ...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] mtbsoft:
I use both these packages together. I don't use the power settings but do use the BT timer setting of PBT - set to 4 minutes. I have all except mode 1 set to BT connectable, so changing to any mode (except 1) turns BT on then PBT turns it off after four minutes - works well enough for me.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] manimal666:
Zendrui - Thanks for the reply and thanks for a great product that gets better as time goes by :). Keep up the good work!

mtbsoft - Yeah, i like features of both products although I would prefer to have just one program installed that does it all rather than 2 progs. Zendrui is the man who can and has the perfect product to integrate both packages :).

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] mvsmith07:
They relate to the number of minutes the PDA will flash the LED relating to the last notification encountered, e.g. New SMS Message - 15 = flash LED for 15 minutes. The warning is because if you leave it at 0 the PDA will flash until you acknowledge the last notification. Hence, running the risk of draining the battery.

Hi zendrui, hello everybody,

I’m a new PocketZenPhone user and new to the forum. I came to PZP because I searched for a simple program to switch on and off the radio unit in my Xda II. PZP offers much more than I was looking for (initially I hoped for a program which I could integrate into PocketPlus just to turn on or off the radio). Anyway, now I’m trying the freeware version (4.5.1) just to get familiar with the concepts of PZP.

Since I need as much space as possible for my appointments on the today screen I tried to create small icons for the time, options and setting icons.

Finally my question: since I had difficulties to arrange the icons I tried to make visible the amount of space every icon needs. (On your website I found that the time and setting icons are 20 pixels wide, the five other options up to 40 pixels and therefore PZP uses the hole range of the PPC screen).

As you may see on the screenshot the time-icons starts 3 pixels to late and runs into the first option-icon.

The option-icons are on the right place.

The setting-icon again starts 3 pixels to late leaving a gap of 3 pixels between the 5th option-icon und itself. Therefore 3 pixels to the right are missing at the setting-icon, there are just not visible.

Is this a thing you can fix (or have fixed in an later version) or have I to deal with it?

Thank you for that nice program and your help!

Cheers, Klaus
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] powerppc:
Holy mother of 88 pages. I just read all of it in one day.

All I can say is, much better than other Phone Profile. With this, it actually works without a bug. I hope it stays that way. I tried the free version for a day and I liked it, no bug. Then after reading 88 pages worth, I decided to try the Beta Version.

I customized the icons to a big one 32x45 so my big fingers can just step on it.

Much props to Zen, this is what I've been looking for, since I got my XDA last month. This program so far hasn't been a disappointment. I will be endorsing you the 8Euros as soon as possible.

How many days does this Beta program has until it expired?

I am very glad that someone like you which is the designer/programmer of this software to be highly motivated to support the software since the day it was out. Now that you're in version 5. I hope you have enough donation to support your second XDA, those things aren't cheap.

Great job once again, I respect your hard work and support for the community of XDA.

Hi, this is a bummer. I can see the challenge from programming sense but recurring scheduled meetings are an integral part of how most organizations use Outlook today. Is there really no way to support these meetings? Thanks for all your efforts.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] BRosenow:
Zen -

I'm not sure how you are programming this, I'm not sure if you are poulating an array or a stack with the upcoming appointments or checking for the next appointment, etc. - but I would most likely do it like this . . .

Search for all appointments with an end date after "now" and plop them in an array (or stack or similar structure). Either traverse the array or do a binary search (or pop the stack) until you find the first event >= "now". There you have it.

This is a simplistic description of a complex process . . . but it would get you all events >= "now" irrespective of their starting date.

It would also most likely cause the tap & hold appt. refresh to take longer (based on the number of appts and the number of recurring appts), but that is a small price to pay to have this critical function.

Just another set of eyes on the problem from a fellow programmer. :wink:

Don't know what you are doing wrong GTOT... For me it works perfect! Maybe try this one, hard reset and then just install PZP, it should work properly then... If so, it could be one of your programs causing this hang...

Please try if you would...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Yes but the mode registry keys are not deleted when you uninstall. This is the only thing I see where this problem could come from...

If you want to test that, restore your backup uninstall PZP 2.6 then delete this key

Phone not vibrating!

Help!

I installed PocketZenPhone v3.0 and now my phone isn't vibrating at all :( I unchecked the icon in the Today screen so it is unloaded from memory and then went into phone settings to have the phone vibrate when a call is received (where the phone icon changes from a speaker to a vibrating rectangle), but nothing! It just displays on the screen "call from xyz - answer / ignore" but no vibrating.

It looks like other users have it working okay with vibrating...

When setting "ring and display", or "ring and flash" - it all works okay - except for vibrating... Anything that has vibrating in it no longer works with or without PZP loaded in the Today screen.

One thing I am doing: Under Notifs; Phone: Incoming call - there is usually no data in this entry. I have put "vibrate flash ring and display", 5, tjingle. Is this correct, or do I leave this blank?

Can someone post their PZP and phone settings for each mode, and I'll try them on my phone?

Help!

Icons changer back to default?

Hi, zendrui - thanks for all your effort. Great and useful program.

I installed the latest version from your site tonite and it all works fine with the exception that the icons do not stay customized. They (the custom ones) load and I can make one profile change. ON the second change, the icons change back to the little phones you used originally.

Soft reset does not make any difference.

I have the dll installed on the SD card. The icons are in that same folder. Am I doing something wrong here?

Re: Icons changer back to default?

Hello, I have no idea what could be the behaviour when you install PZP on a SD card ? Could you better install it in the default path ? The dll only takes 60Ko and the custom bitmaps ~4*10 = 40Ko.

Re: Phone not vibrating!

When you install PZP by default mode 3 is short vibrate and mode 4 vibrate then ring and mode 5 vibrate and ring. Did you try to tets that without changing the notif ?

Making profile changed based on in/out car use

I would like to see a feature in PocketZenPhone that makes a certain profile active whenever I put the MDAII in my carkit.

And to make another one active when i take it out obviously.

Hello all

There are two things :

- The time icon is placed 3 pixels from the start of the screen to aligned with the other today plugin.

- The settings icon start 3 pixels after the last mode icon to be sure that even if you create a icon 40pixels wide for the modes it won't be any overlap with the settings icon ...

The probelm that if I don't do that the time icon won't be aligned with the other today plugin ...

What I can change is the fact that is the icon is smaller than 20pixels I place it 3 pixels from the start of the screen. If the icon is 20pixels wide I place it form the start of the screen. Same way for the settings icon.

What do you think ?

The beta 10 should expire the 10/09/2004

Thank you. Thnak to the donation I can now have the XDA3 ... I just have to wait that my phone contracts ends (end of october) and that Orange sells it :?

Yes thanks I was thinking to something like this, I just have to look if there is a way to get all the reccurences of an appt ...

Yes don't worry ;) there is surely a way ... I look for it :wink: but I think that I will release the version 5.0 before and add this in a next version.

I didn't play with the 4.5.1 since a long time but I have no bad feedback about that. For sure as I use it, it wxorks on the version 5 beta ... I will try on the 4.5.1

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
I think you simply just forgot to refresh PZP by tap&hold the settings icon.

I mean when you create a new appt you have to tap&hold the settings icon, hear a bip, to allow PZP to see and take in account this new appt.

You have to do this the first time you install PZP and each time you create an appointment with a start date previous to the first appointemnt that should occur.

Hi zendrui,

You asked for the icons I'm using. Well, here they are. In the attached icon_n_skin.zip-file you will find the skin and all of the icon files.

They are 20x20 and 20x40 pixels wide. Around the border 1 pixel is not used at the "checked", "enabled" and setting-icon. As you can see the time-icon and the 1st-option-icon are running into another. The setting-icon is missing 3 rows of pixels on the right.

Icon position

Ok Klausi look to that :wink:

Now the icon are centered in their area

switch icon (0->20 pixels)

mode1 (20->60)

mode2 (60->100)

mode3 (100->140)

mode4 (140->180)

mode5 (180->220)

settings icon (220->240)

So this means that if you want to have the switch icon aligned with the other plugin icons you have to make an icon 16pixels wide (this is the most case in the custom icons that still exist such as avalon icons ...).

Or to have an icon 20pixels wide but with 3 or 2 pixels wide line with the transparent color on the left.
