Re: PZP 5.5 Beta7 caused Mini GPRS reconnection problem

R U sure? I thought the same. I uninstalled and still ahd problems. I have always had problems until tonight.. I booted in to SPB Pocket Plus "Safe Mode" then renamed the \windows\startup folder to somethign elce and then I only left these things in it and everything is working great. I can switch between WIFI and GPRS and no problems and things are faster.

Maybe late, but in time for the New Version

Here is a bug i found in the 5.3 version.

Mode switch on bleutooth (Widget)

Connects to the headset.

Pick up after 1 ring, and this doesn't work.

I have a Car mode, and i use my bleutooth headset. (Jabra 200)

But when i call my mobile it doesn't pick it up.

I tried it also with Bleutooth off, and it still doesn't pick it up.

Cheers.

It is not a bug, I think it is a Restriction of Windows Mobile

AutoPickup after 1 ring works only with a wired headset plugged, not with a bluetooth headset.

Hi Zendrui, nice Holidays.

I'm sorry, I must read from German users, they could download Full Version of PZP 5.3, but the Zip-File is damaged.

I could confirm that.

Edit: With Internet Explorer, Zip is damaged, with Firefox Zip works.

GPRS Reconnection Problem

Hi

I am getting the GPRS reconnection problem after installing the latest beta 7 of PocketZen. However, after reading hundreds of posts and doing my own tests, I don't think PocketZen is solely to blame.

I think if you have too many applications that are "hooking" into the phone functionality, such as being notified of phone calls etc. then this causes the GPRS reconnection problem (you can connect once to GPRS, but after you disconnect you cannot reconnect). During the 2nd failed connect, I clicked on the pocketzentray icon and clicked Exit and after 2 seconds, my GPRS reconnected. I disconnected GRPS and reconnected instantly lots of times, I then ran the pocketzentray program again and GPRS immediately would not reconnect.

My reasoning for thinking it is an OS problem with too many programs handling events, is that after a hard reset, I put a trial of pocketalarm and my GPRS also failed to connect more than once. This was before pocketzen was even installed on my newly reset qtek.

I am now residing to the fact that I will not be able to use PocketZen :( Which I dearly love, but I need other features such as custom SMS sounds per contact and full screen caller ID more than I need to be able to switch profiles.

I hope the developer can provide a fix though, maybe making any phone integration optional so it doesn't handle call events or check GPRS connections etc.

Thanks

Darren

Hi,

a little word from Espana :)

Right this is a wince limitation. It zorks only with wired headset.

They can download it from my web site ? :evil: Or someone put the 5.3 version on a forum ? I guess it is time for me to put a protection .... :cry:

Strange :? If you don't set 'turn on GPRS' PZP should do nothing. Same for handle call...

I will check that as soon as possible.

hi zendrui,

the feature "bluetooth/headset on call" is really great! thanks

i think i had found a little bug:

the switch "run a programm" under misc will not work correctly if the path

to the exe will contain a space (sample: \programme\phm tools\regedit.exe)

maybe you can help me with this:

i had found a way to enable/disable gprs completly over this registrykey:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ConnMgr\Providers\

{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\T-Mobile GPRS

enabled = 0 (=disabled)

enabled = 1 (=enabled)

how can i import this with the run programm switch? i had tried it with a *.reg-file. but this will only the registry...

maybe you know it.

Today Refresh Problem

I’m having problems with the refresh of the today version of PZP. By that I mean some message boxes corrupt the display over the PZP area of the today screen leaving the text behind and obscuring the icons for PZP. I’m currently using Beta 7 (although it has happened in all the previous betas), and I’m using an XDA2i on windows mobile 2003 second edition. Any ideas please? :roll:

I will check in details but normally I just set Bt or GPRS if you set the option for... but maybe there can be trouble I will double check that...

Should be ok now. My FAI provider seems sometimes makes strange things...

Great to know :)

I will check this

Seems specific to T-Mobile phone. About the fact to set the registry using the run program don't know. I guess that it needs that the registry key program support cmd line and option ...

:? I will check that it is not normal...

Someone had the empty problem with the last beta ? I have corrected some points and will check the other for a new beta in some days
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] mtbsoft:
Hi Zen, welcome back and I hope you had a great break.

This is more of a general question to all users because I don't think it is a PZP problem specifically but more of a software clash.

Has anyone else noticed this behaviour...?

If I allow the modes to switch by themselves (schedule or outlook) the phone volume changes and all other settings change correctly but the device volume always goes to 3 (0 at bottom, 5 at top). However, if I tap the taskbar icon and change the mode manually (or even select the same mode), both the phone and device volumes are correctly adjusted by PZP.

Am I the only one seeing this happen? If you have, perhaps we could swap notes on what we have installed that is the same. I'm reluctant to list all my app's here since I currently have 105 (yes, not a typo., I do mean over one hundred!) entries listed in the Remove Programs screen.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Well on my PPC I only have few applications installed so maybe I don't experience conflict like some of you can have...

What I'm sure is that PZP only set settings when you click on a mode.

Apart that it only checks if a switch must happens. It doesn't intercept calls or SMS... or check the system to see if a setting has changed...

The only thing in that way is to turn on BT on call. PZP is notified that a call is coming but doesn't do nothing on that call...

But as always PZP cannot be bug free as all programs so I stay aware to correct any problem that can come from PZP

PS : I finished some corrections in the beta 8 and will publish it soon
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] mtbsoft:
No worries, like I say, it has to be something recent on my device but with that many programs...! I'm fairly sure it isn't PZP specifically because I regressed the version to one when I knew it worked fine and that one misbehaves now too, so the finger is pointing elsewhere - just hoping to get some clues from any other users.

I suspect I may have to do another rebuild to try and tidy things up a bit. I even had a new notification type magically appear two days ago - the description was "0" and it stuffed up all my sounds until I found the associated registry entries and deleted them all. God alone knows where that one came from, I hadn't installed anything for days!

Welcome back Zendrui,

Well, I'm still having the same problem I mentioned earlier, PocketZenPhoneTray.exe is "eating up" CPU time in a 12 second interval (approx. since I'm using Supertasks to read this info). This didn't happen with the 5.3 version, but as been a problem with version 5.5. If you need any more info just tell me what you need to know.

There seems to be another problem since PocketZenPhone crashes when changing from a Bluetooth w/ Headset mode into a NO-bluetooth mode. But I'll have to test this further to present you a more accurate reading on the problem.

Cheers

I can add lnk but it is really usefull as now you can browse all your PDA to find exe ?

For other special file what do you mean ? I can add the possibility to search them but how I'm not sure I will be able to execute them from PZP...

Well like PZPToday, PZPTray checks every 20sec if a switch must be applyeed. But this normally don't use a lot of CPU and when the PDA is off it don't do that anymore. But I will check to be sure there is nothing ...

Yes please let me know as for now I didn't encounter this problem...

BT on call failure

Hi Zendrui :)

the BT on call started again not to work properly on my device :?

It worked until yesterday (but had few calls...), this morning had some calls and looks it is not willing to work.

No change at all in my config and I am in a good signal area.

Starts the BT, but after few secs (let us say 2s) it stops. The call is detected but BT is closed a bit later.

I got this log immediately after the failure.

I have seen that it happens more often after the first call, even if this morning it happened with the first call of the day :x

This morning with about 10 calls, 70% failed :cry: :?

Now I made some tests and I am having continuous failures

I am a bit lost. Can it be related to some language localization or to my setup ?

Am I the only one with this behaviour ?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Re: BT on call failure

I read your log file (the one where nothing worked) but I see that each time you received a call the good option was send to turn on the BT.

There is 6 calls where BT is supposed to be turned on, then I see the line where the call ends and the BT is turned off. So all seems ok.

But I will add the date/time to see if the 'end call' notification is not bad received... maybe it is received whereas the call is not really ended ?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] dave:
Re: BT on call failure

Hi Zendrui, surely I was not clear enough.

The call is not started yet :!:

Still ringing, just makes a couple of rings, and the BT is turned off before I can answer; there is no time enough to engage the headset.

If you add time stamps, you will see how fast is this.

Thanks for investigating :D
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] mtbsoft:
Just though of another thing to add to that nice, short (!) to-do list of yours, Zen.

Meetings, appointments (the stuff we switch modes using categories and/or status) never run to time! How about adding a 'buffer' to either end of the switched time - user configurable (of course!). This way you can have that 5 minutes before the meeting to prepare undisturbed, and that extra 15 minutes (or perhaps a percentage?) after for over-runs.

What do people think? I hate my schedule to reflect the wrong times so end up scheduling a parallel earlier to later switching task (which I delete later) to cover the normal state of affairs.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] macrinus:
Well, besides the CPU usage problem I've already mentioned, I found this:

- When changing modes in the Tray version, using the stylus, changing into the same mode repeatedly will freeze the application.

I have all 7 modes enabled and can upload the configuration files if you can't reproduce the errors.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Just to be sure to understand. You'd like that for example 5 minutes before your appointments (for PZP is supposed to switch to another mode), PZPZ switch 5 minutes before and 15 minutes after (5 and 15 minutes being configurable) ?

I suppose that change you appointment to start 5 min earlier and stop 15 min later is not possible ? ;)

I will try this and tells you if I have the same problem and correct if needed. I'm currently checking if there is way I mesure the CPU used by PZP but I'm still confuse about that...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] mtbsoft:
Correct.

I prefer to keep the entries accurate if possible. What I do at the moment for those meetings that I expect to overrun is I either add another 'buffer' task from the '-5' to '+15' time or at the end which maintains the PZP profile and which I delete later when I adjust the actual meeting entry to reflect the correct time.

It's like when you go to the doc. and he's running late - you've set your device for the actual appointment time but by the time you see him, it's switched back. Naturally, when two appointments meet, the buffer time would be ignored but otherwise...

Just sounding out the idea to see if other users think it has value. Don't want to see you getting bored and having nothing to do(!!).

BTW Current beta (5.5.7) is working sweet for me, BT on/off is great and the multiple category switching is just fine.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
I understand... if it can be usefull I will add that in my to-do list ;)

Never bored. I'm always happy to see that PZP is usefull and get any idea to improve it. So do not hesitate.

:) Good to know. I'm just checking a little point and will publish the beta 8 with just some little corrections... a log file with date/time for Dave ...

OK, while trying to make the movie I had 5 calls with a different type of failure than before: the BT did not switch on at all.

Do you need also some tests with outgoing calls or it is the same for you ?

Attached there is this log, just cleaned before the tests so you should find the 5 calls and few (or nothing) more.

I got it :D I found a way to make PZP working only once for the switch and no more looking every n sec if a switch should be applyed.

So the CPU will be only used some sec if a switch (programmed or calendar based) must happen. Apart that PZP will be quiet.

I also found a way to refresh PZPToday from PZPTray so now both will be synchronised in the two ways. I will make test and add that in a next beta

Very interesting tests

Hi Zendrui :D

while waiting for the time stamps I thought what kind of tests could be useful.

My only fail after you fixed expiration :wink: is the same than before: BT turns on but off before I can get the call.

So I made two types of test calls:

1: let the BT turn on and manually close the call when I see that BT is off in fail.

2. let the BT turn on, let BT off in fail and let my voicemail automatically close the call later after a fixed time (my voicemail is about 20 secs).

The results are very interesting and they are in the log; please look at it. I marked the calls after every test.

They tell us that the BT is NOT turned off by widbtonoff when the call is closed, but it is turned off by something else after a fixed time of about 8 secs. Maybe pzptray applies settings periodically every x secs...???

In fact all the manually closed calls have 8 secs timestamp. This is the real BT on-off time.

On the contrary the "voicemail closed" calls have all a 20-21 secs duration time between the timestamps, that is the whole call duration. But the BT was already off about 12 secs earlier. I checked with a watch and again the real BT on-off time is always around 8 secs.

So, pzptray correctly detects incoming call, turns BT on and writes the first timestamp.

Moreover it correctly detects call finish, sends the right option to widbtonoff, widbtonoff applies it and then writes the timestamp. But BT was already off about 12 secs earlier.

Still I cannot explain why sometimes it works, but when it fails the times involved are always the same and repetitive.

I hope I could help you. :)

Thanks again for your efforts :o
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:

Re: Very interesting tests

I tried with PZP beta 8 and all seemed to work.

I checked in details and if PZP do anything on th eBT a log message should appear in the log file.

But for other reasons I installed SPB PocketPlus 3 to try because someone told me that he had trouble with both PZP and spb pocket plus 3 installed and then the BT stopped to work :shock:

When I received a call BT was turned on then some seconds after was turned off. Exactly like you described.

I also had message each time I tried to use BT saying "you have to turn off flight mode before" (something like that it was in french on my device)

This even without PZP installed.

I hard reseted my device (because even with spb3 removed I had this message again), reinstalled only PZP and my other applications without SPB3 and all works as expected when I recieve a call ...

Did you have SPB pocket plus 3 ?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] mtbsoft:
I use Pocket Plus 3 and the BT switches on and off just fine, it's just the Outlook events that have stopped for me. I'll PM you my modes this evening when I get home.

Edit: Just checked the notifications database after setting an Outlook event and doing a forced Refresh - no PZP event is in there until the next scheduled (time based) one. It is either not writing the event to the database or not seeing it in the first place.

Note: Mine are all category based.

I will try today to uninstall it and see what happens (I will take care to clean the registry, too).
