The 5.1 beta 3 is on the site.

It corrects the problem from of the temporary switch from tap&hold menu and also the fact that a custom time icon wasn't dsiplayed.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Re: no

Add that is not difficult. But I have to test that it doesn't slow down the performances because this means that both PZPversions have to look every n seconds to see if the mode changed...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] SiliconS:
Re: no

...and also make sure that they don't interfere with each other when they notice that the modes have changed. :)

At 10:30pm every day, PZP changes from my daytime profile (4) to my evening profile (2) (lower volume, quieter SMS notification etc.). I had already switched to silent profile (1) while I lay in bed last night but at 22:30 PZP correctly switched me back to profile 2 (quiet) and my XDA started beeping at screen taps again. I quickly chose profile 1 (silent) again, but until the end of the whole minute of 22:30, PZP kept jumping back to profile 2. This isn't a problem (I understand why this happens :) ) but if you have two software processes changing profiles they might start arguing with each other during the changeover minutes! :)

Just a thought.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Re: no

Yes, when XDA is on every 20sec PZP looks if a switch should happen. So let's say between 2 and 3 times at 10:30pm PZP will try to switch to your mode 2.

If I synchronize both PZPtray and PZP, they will together check the whole minute if the switch should happen, so it should be the same result in fact, because they use the same registry keys...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] mtbsoft:
Re: no

Naturally there could be a slight performance hit but that can be a documented impact of using both together.

Regards the inter-process interference, it could be that a master-slave arrangement could be used if both are running where one is responsible for all the changes and the other polls the first for updates and also sends through any changes received by it itself, this way the slave would have a short poll cycle polling the master and would push any menu/manual events to the master, the master would do all the heavy outlook/schedule processing.

This is, of course, presuming it doesn't entail a full rewrite of PZP(!).

Bloody alarms don't work!

Hi there,

Hope you can help. Since installing PZP 5.1 beta 3 none of my alarms works. I know WM2003 is bad with alarms anyway, but I've never seen this: I have my XDA II in the cradle, powered on and charging. A reminder just triggered but made no noise at all. The on-screen notification appeared and the LED is still flashing after 20 minutes :roll: but there was no sound. Below are my PZP settings for this mode. When I test the reminder sound (alarm1) by clicking the > button, it works just fine.

I've had problems with alarms not sounding if the XDA II is off, but I've never ever had an alarm fail when the XDA II is switched on already.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

I haven't tried removing PZP yet. If nobody can help I'll try that next, but I don't want to! :cry:

PS. Just had a thought: I'm talking about alarms set through the Clock CPL applet - not appointment reminders. Have I specified the wrong thing here in the settings? Which notif controls the clock alarms? :?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Re: no

Well I don't think to all rewrite will be necessary :?

I will test to synchronise both and see what it will do...

-For the black icon no idea what it could be :?:

-The red flash until you disconnect should be here beacsue in the mode you have the notication for "connection established" is set with flash and the value 0 (unlimited). Am I right ?

- I don't understand or see what you mean by "are followed by ringtone boxes, not by notification boxes..." could you send me a screenshot ?

Received and validated ;) Thanks.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Re: Bloody alarms don't work!

:? Well I don't think that reminder notifcations and alarms from clock are linked. I mean that even without PZP I think you can set reminder notifcation to be silent, but clock alarm to vibrate and ring.

-I tried the same settings as yours with an alarm set with vibrate and ring and I heard it.

-I tried also to set my reminder notifcation to silent (no options set in PZP) and I heard my alarm set with vibrate and ring.

Sorry to ask but did you check that your clock alarm was well set with play sound :D

Could it be the fact to reinstall above an old version ..? Did you do that ?

Well automatic refresh is done every 45sec, this means that if you create an appointment and turn off the XDA just after it won't be refreshed.

Maybe I can reduce the time ..?

Re: Bloody alarms don't work!

Thanks for your reply, zendrui. I had a play earlier to try and fix this. All other sounds were working, including previewing the alarm sound in the clock/alarm settings, but for some reason the alarm made no noise when it went off.

In the end I exported all my PZP profiles and then uninstalled PZP. After a soft reset I reinstalled PZP and imported all the profiles and now everything seems to be working again. Weird. I don't know whether it was just the SR which fixed it - I can't remember when I last did a soft reset.

So, I'll keep an eye on it and keep my fingers crossed. :)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Re: Bloody alarms don't work!

Thanks I check.

I cross my fingers too then but bet me know if something goes wrong and you think it is Pockezenphone relative.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Klausi:
Hi zendrui,

I have one problems with the just purchased version 5.01 of PZP:

If I tab and hold to any profile I expected to see the time menu. But all what I get is a black line over my PZP plug-in (left screenshot) which disappears after a while or after tab on it or after I tab the X at the upper right corner. I turned off my other two today plug-ins because I thought there could be some overlapping but no change.

If I run the program PocketZenPhoneMenu.exe than I get the time menu at vertical middle of the screen. (right screenshot).

What’s wrong?

Thank you,

Klaus

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] SiliconS:
Re: Bloody alarms don't work!

WM2003 is crap with alarms anyway, but I fixed mine (touch wood!) by uninstalling PZP, soft-reset, install PZP. My alarms have worked this morning so I guess it's working again. Well, I guess it's working as well as WM2003 can handle. :roll:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
If it is the tip, I should advice for a new version to uninstall PZP, soft reset then install new version.

But I'd like to know why this happens ...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] SiliconS:
...and that's why we love ya, zendrui. :) You care! :D

Don't worry too much - it may have been my old profiles (imported into Beta 3 from Beta 1) or just WM2003 getting in a muddle. Let's wait and see whether we're the only two people with this problem.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] :
I'm so stupid :roll: . After sleeping one night about that problem I came to the conclusion that the pixel hight in those 0.bmp to 180.bmp files have to match the size of the other icons - and that's it.

Sorry about the confusion I may have started

Klaus
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
:oops: Well I'm just aware that a software can have bugs :evil: , the only thing is to try to correct them :wink:

Let's see then because I don't have the problme myself :? but I'm not a blind user, I install/unsintall so many times...

No problem at all :) I'm glad you found the solution because I would not have thought to look this way.

Yes the menu if placed into the today plugin so icons must have the same size. I will add that in my site.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Klausi:
Hi zendrui,

maybe you can add than some information about how the time menu works. I download a example skin and found each of the *.bmp files 24 pixel wide. Since seven files are needed thats only 168 pixel.

How do I define the remaing 72 pixel? Or since there are no gaps between the icons where comes the information from?

And, sorry for another question: There is a flashing/ redrawing or blinking of the today plugin every 15 sec. or so. Where does it come from?

Thank's a lot,

Cheers, Klaus
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
The menu works as the today plugin in fact

Each icons can be maximum 33pixels wide.

If an icon is lower than 33pixel then it is centered in its area.

33*7 = 231 + 1pixels between each (8*1) = 239. I can't do better.

Same in landscape display (45 pixels wide)

For the flash/redraw of the plugin I don't know if it is normal or not. I never take a look of that. I will. Is PZP the only plugin that do that ?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Klausi:
All I could say is that Version 4.5.1 did not do so. I thought that it has something to do with the time/ outlook functions since I understood that PZP is kind of 'scanning' once a while if it has to switch modes - but I may completely wrong.

PZP is not the only plug-in. I just have three: first comes PZP, than PocketPlus 2.1 and the rest of the screen is left for

PocketBreeze.

May that help?

Klaus
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] SiliconS:
Zendrui, I've just been playing with my profile icons (and just made some, if anyone wants a copy - see below) and noticed that PZP is reloading the icons every time it blinks on the Today screen. I didn't need to manually refresh the icons when I uploaded them.

Only a suggestion, but is this necessary? Could PZP maybe only redraw/reload the icons when a user holds down the Settings button? Would that save any processing time, or stop the blinking that we see on the Today plug in?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Hi guys,

I found why it blinks. I made a not needed refresh in the same time I looked if a switch should happen (even if no switch was needed)

I corrected. I check one little other thing, finish to validate and post a new beta.

SiliconS : to answer you the refresh doesn't take many resources.

It just updates the icons if needed.

But it seems that when a today plugin refreshs, it blinks (if you look well when you click on the start icon then click again all the plugins blink)

So now I have removed the refresh not need it is ok, it will just refresh and blink when a mode will change.

About resources : it is hard to monitor CPU under wince but I really think that PZP doesn't take resources. Because apart when you click to change mode, it only looks every 20sec if a switch should happen. This is just a simply functiun without high calculs. The only thing that can take a little more resource is the outlook refresh. I'm looking to find if I can optimize that more.

Do you all feel that PZP causes the XDA to be slower ? I don't feel that even when I play Crazy kart :P but maybe I'm not objectiv :wink:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] powerppc:
If I have a registered version of PZP and then installed the beta version of the task icon, will the beta version of the task icon expire? What if I download the beta 5.03 eventhough I'm registered, will that expired too? Just curious, thank you.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] SiliconS:
I'll look forward to giving that a try, zendrui. I'll also get myself in gear and sign up with PayPal... ;)

:oops: I feel bad now for criticising this excellent software and suggesting it's not efficient. My only source of this is the feeling that my battery life is not as good as it was before PZP. :? Really, it's not a problem for me. I was just giving feedback. :)

However, if you're looking for ways to optimise things :wink: perhaps the refresh/mode check interval could be user-selected? I would be happy if PZP refreshed once a minute. I don't need it to check every 20 seconds. My brain doesn't work that fast, anyway. :)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] iggy:
No Zen, actually since you added the backlight function my battery lasts longer.

One problem I am still having is the automatic refresh, for me it does not work. If I set an appointment for one day only. The switch happens without manual refreshing but does not switch back.

If I set a reoccurring appt. the switch never happens whether I do a manual or automatic refresh. I am going to uninstall, reboot and reinstall to see if this helps.

Update uninstall, reboot and reinstall, the reoccurring switch worked automatically but same as the regular switch it did not switch back. Icon stayed in outlook mode.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] mtbsoft:
Hi Zen,

Remember the perculiar problem I have with the beeps when switching modes if the selected mode had the PIN set (even on a clean device)? Well, just to add another ingredient to the mix, I've discovered that it only affects the today plug-in, switching modes via the tray icon doesn't have the problem - how bizarre is that?!

Anyway I'm happy now, this works for me!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Klausi:
Hi zendrui,

I'm impressed! That fast fast! I do not have the feeling that PZP is slowing down anything. tAgenda was the last plug-in wich I canceled because it made everthing on the today screen so slow.

Since 5.0.1 offers these time and outlook switches I started to create new switch mode icons but I have two more question concerning the time menu. So far I only made a test with the 15. bmp to 180.bmp files.

1: what does the file init.bmp does? Do i need it?

My test file contains the yello pieces you see on the screenshot and 16x24 pixel high x wide (so far).

2: Can I define another color for the background?

Thank you,

Klaus
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] SiliconS:
Another weird observation

Erk! Sorry zen - I seem to be bringing you problems at the moment...

My PZP is one mode out in its little brain. :) When it switches modes at the preset times it chooses a mode one position too far to the left. If it's set to jump to mode 1, it chooses no mode! See screenshot below. A soft-reset didn't fix it. Before I try uninstalling PZP and re-installing (again ;) ), is there anything you'd like me to try?

Choosing modes manually works fine.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Don't worry, any feedback is welcome bad or not. I received a mail once from someone telling me that PZP was great but that he removed it because it slowed down it s pocket. I ask more details but never get answers. So I take advantage of your remarks to ask the feelings about PZP performances ;)

In the next beta, display refresh will only made when a mode changes. By clicking or because an programmed/outlook switch happen.

What beta version do you have ? Because I corrected that in the last one.

Yes bizarre. Sorry I don't remember well this problem :oops: Could you remind me...

init.bmp ? oups it was the sample of the picture I used. Not needed.

For the background color no you can't change it sorry but you can create icons that takes the whole space of the screen.

No prob it helps me to improve PZP. Thanks for that.

I check if adding the landscape support I didn't make something wrong in the coordinates.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Klausi:

Hi zendrui,

To create icons I use a software called Pixello, made by Rasoft and I run it on my XdaII (if you know a better software, please let me know).

If I enter the given values RGB140,165,200 I get a much lighter blue colour than I thought it should be. The RGB value I mentioned above was shown to me by Pixello from one of the examples on your customization page. Please see screenshot for referenze.

I do not know how the RGB system works but I'm a bit confused by the different results.

Any ideas?

Oh yes sorry I changed the color in the last beta, to have the same between settings and time menu.
