Re: Current beta expiry

Nice one Zen. I'm assuming this version hasn't got that "Recurring Outlook Appt over midnight imported from PC" fix quite yet. I've recreated those recurring appts on my XDAII now, so for time being all is well.

Zen, Can u add feature to start & stop Ringtonex?

Hi Zen

i think this would be a great addtion by automatically starting and stopping ringtoneX with each profile. like starting and stopping bluetooth. this feature may start or stop ringtoneX..

what do u think?

by doing so we can control everything with a single switch.

An option to run an application on profile switch would be great. So if you select car for example it would fire up tom tom etc…

Change mode at meeting not working

Pardon my ignorance and not wanting to read 96 pages to see if it has been discussed already....

Using 5.1 B1 on WM2003FE, which is the only version that has ever been installed. I have PZP configured to change to Meeting mode when in Office mode and my status is Busy. But this isn't happening. The scheduled changes work fine. Is this a known issue, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks.

Scott.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Re: Change mode at meeting not working

No this is not normal. Did you refresh your outlook appt by tap & holding the settings icon fater having created your appts ?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] sbueffel:
No, I didn't

No, I didn't do anything to refresh how PZP knows when I am set to Busy. When and why am I supposed to do that? For example, my next meeting is tomorrow, and it has been scheduled since last week. Is there anything special I need to do to make PZP aware of this? Does it matter when the meetings is created?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Re: No, I didn't

:cry: Nobody reads my web site : http://zendrui.free.fr/switchs.html :wink:

Here is what you have to do ;)

To validate, or refresh, the new appointments you create, you have to tap&hold the settings icon. you will hear a bip meaning that the refresh is done.

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 appointment that should occur.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] sbueffel:
Bad me

Uh, I guess I missed that info on the web site. But I tend to not read manuals anyway; I like to see how good apps are by only referring to them when I can't figure anything else out. Oops. In this case, I had never done as you suggested until yesterday, so I will see how it goes with my meeting today. I am having difficulty, though, understanding the last part of your last sentence where you explain when you have to do the refresh again. Could you elaborate? And on a totally ignorant side note, if refreshing is something that has to be done periodically, etc., is it something you can have scheduled...say every day, or every 2 hours? Thanks.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Re: 5.1B1 expiration

I released a 5.01 version, so you just have to download it ;)

Great :)

To explain my last sentence : "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 appointment that should occur."

For example we are monday :

- You created an appt for wednesday, so when you refresh, PZP will program a switch for wednesday at xx:xx

- If you create another appointment for thirsday -> nothing to do because wednesday when the appointment will end PZP will automatically look for the next appt (so thirsday at xx:xx)

- But if you create an appointment (we are still monday) for tuesday you have to referesh because PZP doens't know that this appt is earlier than the one programmed for wednesday.

Not sure if I am clear. Am I ?

SIM Code function

Hello,

I am using a Dual Sim Card Adapter with two SIM Cards of the same provider, one for business and the other for private use. I asked the developers of PhoneDashboard and PhoneToday, if those softwares are able to show which SIM Card is activ (e.g. provider and phonenumber). Unfortunately actually not, may be in a future vision. :(

My idea or question is, if it would be possible with PZP to switch between the two SIM cards by switching on and off the flight mode and have the correct SIM Code in.

So it wouldn't be necessary to show the provider and phonenumber but simply choose the correct PZP Mode.

Anybody an idea? :?:

Sorry if may be already discussed, didn't found something up to now.

suggestion for another tool taking care of the messages

your excellent Pocketzenphones is far ahead of "Phones Profiles" (not mentioning the issue round his designer)

I'd like you to envision the possibility to have a tool enabling us to check easily all messages from the Today screen directly, with minimum use of scarce Today surface, "à la " MY|MESSAGES : SMS, ActiveSync mail, OP3 mail, etc... relying on the standard Outlook Pocket features but displaying a summary of the new messages

that would definitly further enhance the usability of any PE device and I'm sure you could design simply and rapidly !! .... and give you some break from refining only your PZP stuff

Appt. refresh..got it

Zendrui, thanks for your explanation of the need to refresh PZP. Your example explains it just fine. But it still begs the question of can this process be automated, e.g., can PZP refresh itself every so often?

In your example, it is Monday. I refresh PZP for a new appt I create that occurs on Tuesday. I already have an appoinment on Thursday. Now my appt. on Tuesday is over..PZP looks and Thursday is my next appt. But I add an appt. on Wednesday just now and I need to refresh PZP. Sounds nice and simple. But if I start having multiple appts on multiple days, I now have to keep track of whether an appt. I create is occuring after an appointment that is already in my calendar. If not, I need to refresh PZP. I hope I am not overcomplicating it, but that sounds like a pain to me.

I know nothing about programming, but is it feasible to have PZP refresh itself every hour?

Scott.

Re: Appt. refresh..got it

Hi Scott

It used to be that PZP did refresh itself regularly (each time the today refreshed I think it was). However, this caused problems with certain other Today software, tAgenda in particular which can take a while to refresh. Zen has it on his todo list to make refreshing this way (or similar) a user option.

BTW. For those who use tAgenda, if you also use Pocket Informant then take a look at PIToday. I've switched from tAgenda because the Today screen repainting was just taking too long and PIToday has some really nice features. Note: it only works with PI installed.

MDA III and BT settings

OK, first the new betas seem to function ok for me, but..

after installing the latest beta (tray or plugin), when I connect my XDA II to my PC to sync, activesync fails to start and the XDA displays a message window with the message: CeReadRecordProps failed to read database

I can only get rid of the window by soft resetting. If I disable PZP and then attach to my PC, activesync appears to function correctly. Prior to installing the latest beta (b5), I didn't have this issue running the earlier betas.

One thing that I haven't asked with PZP is whether it can specify notifications for MSN Messenger messages in the way that MyPhone|Profiles 3.1 (but not 5.0) can. Here's hoping so!

I have been using your free version for a long time and it's a really great tool, but when I saw that you have now released a beta with backlight controls, I will definitely buy the full version when you include this function in the release version.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] SiliconS:
I don't have that problem, Ian.

On another topic:

I'm just about getting the hang of the Beta version (5.1?) with the full setting options and I'm using PZP properly for the first time. It seems to be working well, although I've noticed a significant drop in battery life since installing PZP. Between midnight last night and 7am my battery went from 80% to 67%, which is a huge drop considering the machine was just switched off, no Bluetooth, next to my bed. Has anyone else found this? Every few seconds (10 secs, perhaps) all the PZP icons on the Today screen flicker, as though they're being redrawn. Is PZP taking processing power every time it does this, even when the machine is switched off? If so, it's using a significant amount of battery.

Other feedback:

- I don't need the PZP backlight control, but I can't disable it, which means I can't have a backlight auto-off of 30 seconds any more. :(

- The Outlook Settings page: It's inconvenient having to set the 'Switch to' control to put PZP in Meeting mode for every other mode independently. This should be a global setting, no? I.e. tell PZP that whatever mode it's in, switch to Meeting whenever an Outlook meeting is scheduled.

- Similarly with the programmed time switches: these shouldn't be set in the individual modes' settings - these are global settings. Could there be a single page on which we can set the schedule for the whole program? E.g. enter a list of times and the mode to go to at each of those times.

- I'm confused by the 'Sounds Settings' page. Why is it there? Surely if I want those things to make a noise, I turn the volume up, but if I don't then I turn the volume to 0. I'm not sure what extra this page offers me. :?

Generally, though, I'm very happy with PZP. Thank you Zendrui! (Did you get my PM?)
