you mean you'd like a 'switch to mode5 tuesday at 7h30" for example ?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] jwealthall:
Something like that yes .... For example I'd like my phone to switch to office mode between 8:45 and 17:45 each weekday - Saves any embarrassment (due to a really sad SMS notification :oops: - like happened this morning) when I'm sat quietly working.

I suppose the other option (which you might want to consider :wink: ) is changing profiles if your cell id changes to a certain number - I've seen this for some of the Nokia phones.

IMHO: I think this is an excellent piece of software and I don't know why O2 or M$ couldn't have added something like this in the first place! I'm interested to see if you can get the Headset to switch on automatically too
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Tekguru:
The new version seems to be working well for me except that the pop-up to the left of the 'BT off / on' setting is blank for all modes except mode 4 where it states 'Radio On'.

This was with running the applet from the Today screen on top of the prior 3.5 pre release beta.

What is the best way to correct this? To completely remove and reinstall from the start again?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
The radio on/off combo is displayed but not activated as I didn't find yet a way to have this option working on XDA and XDA2

So even if the combo is blank this has no effect on PZP ;)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Tekguru:
Thanks Zen, I'll stop panicing then ;-)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Yes you can ;)

For all I updated the 3.5 version on the site. Only one change the save pop-up is now display on the top.

I don't know if it is because I install/uninstall many versions ... sometimes I had trouble with the pop-up.

With this correction no more problem ...

Congratulations & Speakerphone

Zen,

Again, congratulations for your job !

Some ideas:

1 - Could you add a speakerphone icon on the today screen in order to permanently enable or disable the speakerphone, sometimes you want to have it allways on.

2 - Could you add to the profiles a field to auto answer after some rings, this is useful when you are driving a car.

Brest Regards,
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] j_metselaars:
Zen, indeed, option of saving is working right now! Everything is perfect right now!

Indeed an option of adding weekdays and an end function could be a good add.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] izeman:
hmmm i'm no programmer at all - but i think it should be possible to use the ppc's standard colors. as some ppl use different themes they themselves decide which color combination (fore/background) is best readable for them.

for me this is very light grey as background and black for the fonts.

btw. i find it VERY complicated to set every setting correct and totally get lost in the "notify settings" ... there are SO many options that it occured that i missed some calls because the phone was not ringing at all and only vibrating AFTER i missed the call ;)

so i'd suggest adding a RESET button to reset every setting of that section to default values (eg. the values that are set for the ppc by default). - what do you think?

and yes, bt on/off works now - great. but you already know that ;) if now turning headset profile automatically would work everything was perfect.

many many thanks for that great program

Hi! Perfect software according to everybody here, but I haven't started using it because I too often accidentally tap one of the icons, with sometimes not so good results. :(

So my question is, what about programming the icon buttons so that one have to hold them a couple of seconds before they change?

Then I would adopt it straighforward, I think. :lol:

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] danielalvers:
zendrui

The installation and overall program works really well.

The Notifs (Notification) section is a little unclear. I have played with the options, setting rather outrages things like Ring, Display & Vibrate on Active Sync connect but it never seems to work.

If I make changes to the current profile do I have to switch, and switch back, in order to make my change take effect.

In the volumes, what does -1 mean? Could you instead have a slider from -1 (Vibrate) to 5 (Loud).

To be honest I am really just using the 'Lite' version of your program by wanting to change the System and Ring volumes.

And I appreciate you checking the SMS Sent notification as well. I am sure there is a registry setting buried somewhere that will re-enabled it.

Regards

Daniel
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
I rather make my tests by changing the reminder mode and see ifit works but maybe the others notifications are differents ?? I will try to check.

Yes I have to change that. If you change the settings for a mode, you have to reselect the mode to take the changes in account.

-1 seems that no value is entered and so It will not be taken in account.

I check that too.

To Flash unlimited you have to set the Flash duration to 0.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Urosh:
Zendrui

Yes you are right... I mean the the ring mode.

I would like to have also an increasing ring mode in combination with vibrate.

Thanks,

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] bodstrup:
Excellent service

I am looking forward to the update.

Maybe you should put it on Handango and earn a few bucks. I would personally pay 10-20 USD/Euro for this program.

One business idea: If you have the time and skills, how about making the profiles time and presence aware.

On the Symbian platform, there is a very useful program called mini-gps. This program allows you to collect GSM transmitters into named groups (by telling the phone to add all cells to a group while the search is active) and then assign events to groups.

The result is that you can collect all cells around your workplace or home automatically - just by walking around the building - and then specify that whenever you enter or leave the group of cells, an event should happen.

This could be:

- Change to another profile e.g. 'pager' when you go to work.

- Change to 'Loud' when you leave work, driving in your car on the highway

- Change to 'normal' - and maybe turn bluetooth off when you reach home

- Send an SMS when you enter or leave an area (interesting possibilities).

Also, setting a profile for a specified number of minutes or hours would be nice.

But - don't get me wrong. Once I can specify both Flash and some sort of ring/vibrate the program is very good.

Regards

@Zendui:

1. Still Excellent prog. No bugs whatsoever. A few small new features would be very welcome, but adding many new unrelated features would defeat the purpose of having a small, bug-free utility.

2. The icons were included in the attached file on the first page, with my settings. Anyways, I am attaching only the icons here. And I have no objections to posting them on the website.

@Everybody:

It seems that some people have confused the freeware utility discussed on this page "PocketZenPhone" , with the very bugy commercial application "Phone Profiles Seriously". Several comments stated above are directed to "Phone Profiles Seriously", not "PocketZenPhone".
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Hello all and thank again for your comments.

First of all I agree with many people : the main goal to this software is to stay simply to use and bug free (that's why I appreciate that people try it)

For the moment I won't add complex features, I just optimize it, add little features, correct problem if there is one and see if it is useable by the majority :)

Thank for the rectification.

For the moment it seems there is no really bug :oops: :D

Just some details to adjust.

But be sure I test all myself and I make a point of honor not to release a version not tested. But of course as I do it myself I could miss some points :wink:

So now the updated version is on the site:

It adds

- the 'Increasing Ring Mode and vibrate' and 'flash' Ring mode

- the 'ring and flash' notif mode

Reinitialize automatically the settings for the current mode selected when you change its settings (you don't have to re-select it anymore when you close the settings window)

I also re-draw a little the settings window

Then for the user who will install it for the first time, the 'SMS sent' pop-up will no more be hidden.

For danielalvers and the other I will try to make a simply software to restore the correct settings to allow the pop-up to be weel displayed again (sorry for that trouble)

I test that thing. And in fact the notification 'ActiveSync: Begin sync' is not active when you plug your XDA on the craddle and when it connects but it is active when you click on the window menu on your XDA, then you select ActiveSync and click on the button sync. If I set 'vibrate' when I plug it on its craddle it simply play a sound but when I go to activesync ... and click on 'sync' it vibrates ... Hope I explain clearly ? Are you agree with that ?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] danielalvers:
zendrui

A very neat update. I have tested the Notifs and they seem to be working well.

I appreciate you developing a fix for the SMS Sent Notification error. I really didn't want to have to hard reset to correct the problem.

I hope we are not annoying you with all our suggestions? :?

Rather than the long list of Notifs what about instead having check boxes for Ring, Flash, Display & Vibrate, with boxes to enter the duration for Flash and Vibrate. This will save you having to create lots of different options.

And one final item. On the Settings page could you have two save buttons. One called 'Save Settings' and the other called 'Save to all Modes'. That way if you want to apply the same setting to all modes you can select it once and then save it to all modes. What do you think?

Again, thanks for a great program.

Upgrade

To upgrade to the new version what shall I do?

Just install it over the old one?

Thanks for the answer,

Urosh
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Yes you just have to install the new .cab file.

But before you have to disable PocketZenPhone (because the dll is used)

(To uninstall a today plugin you have to disable it before uninstall it.

So to uninstall or reinstall PocketZenPhone, simply go to Settings->Today->Items, then uncheck PocketZenphone in the list.

After that you can uninstall/resintall)

Then reinstall the new .cab file it will replace the old dll by the new one.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] bodstrup:
Looses setup after a soft reset

I installed 2.2 and found a problem:

If I do a soft reset, the settings go back to the defaults:

Volume 0 at Mode 1

Volume 0 at Mode 2

Volume 3 at mode 3

Volume 5 at mode 4

I also miss Vibrate, Display, Ring, Flash for notifications as well as Vibrate, Flash, Display for 'silent' notifications.

I can not roll-back to version 2.1. I removed 2.2 and installed 2.1, but there is no entry in the 'Items' list for PhoneZenProfiles. If I re-install 2.2, I do get the entry but the volume values are still reset every time I do a soft reset.

Update:

I installed 2.1, set some values and did a soft-reset. I can confirm that the registry values for the settings are reset to 0 (for Mode 1). The value was 3 before the reset.

Something is overwriting the registry values at reset, it is not a matter of the settings not being written to registry at all.

Thanks again for your effort.

Regards

Michael
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Hello,

Hi there,

I'm watching the development of this app with interest - it's changed a lot since the orignal screenshots and features. zendrui, could you provide a new summary of this app and what it does? Maybe a couple of new screenshots?

I have a list of the features I want from an app like this, but I'll hold back until refinement of the first version is complete. They're nothing major, but might change its direction slightly.

At least zendrui is willing to listen to his audience, fix bugs and add the new features that we suggest, unlike someone else who posts about their similar software in these forums... :roll: :wink:

Well done zendrui!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] bodstrup:
Appears perfect now

I have tested a range of combinations, and the program appears perfect now.

The missing features I requested (Flash, Vibrate) etc. is not a problem, I have found that editing the registry notification settings using the settings posted earlier:

---------------------------------------------------

Notif Mode

---------------------------------------------------

8 = NOTIF_DISPLAY

4 = NOTIF_FLASH

2 = NOTIF_VIBRATE

1 = NOTIF_SOUND

3 = NOTIF_SOUND_AND_VIBRATE

11 = NOTIF_SOUND_VIBRATE_AND_FLASH

---------------------------------------------------

Ring Mode

---------------------------------------------------

a = Alert

p = Play Sound

v0 = Vibrate 0 (Vibrate when the sound is played)

vx = Vibrate X (Vibrate x sec)

wx = Wait (Wait x sec)

r = Repeat (In the end of the sequence)

f1 = Flash On (Activate fast LED)

f0 = Flash Off (Desactive fast LED)

makes it possible to create any combination I need.

One of the silent notifications I wanted was vibrate, Flash, Display for use when I need the device to be silent but want to be alerted about an SMS -and having the LED blink in case I missed the vibration.

Perfect, Thanks a lot

One very small request. I often find, that the LED gets stuck blinking if I cancel notifications in the wrong order. Can you add a LED off function/button or even separate application - you obviously know how to manipulate the Red LED.

Regards

I was wondering...

is it possible to have a vibrate + (ring for a specific duration) and keep vibrating...

I would like to have a "meeting" profile
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Re: Appears perfect now

Ok I misunderstood you :oops: I was thinking that you want the mode flash , vibrate (which still exist)... whereas in fact you wanted the combinations (flash + vibrate) and (flash + display + vibrate) ...

So as you find (it is not a secret of course :wink: ) the ring mode could be customized as it is a combination of options ...

Maybe I can ask people their best ring mode and add the most used ..?

Or make a tool to create custom modes ..?

I will look for the led .. I don't know today how to have it red ... but it will be a good think for a mute mode
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
I don't know if it is possible not to have a repeat ring mode.

I mean that all the ring modes are a combination of options annd once done it repeats... I will look if it is possible.

To have a meeting mode you simply have to configure it ;)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
The major things which changed since the 1st version is that I made a user-friendly configuration window instead of the manual configuration text file.

Then I only added some features and correct the problems...

Has always Zenduri, beautiful.

I ran into one not so nice bug. If you are in the time selection of any profile, click to set time and try to switch profile before saving settings my xda hangs every time and the only possibility is to soft reset, no buttons work (work around at this point !!remember to click save settings before switching profiles!!. Also, I don't see the check to set a profile as default??? Keep up the good work.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Re: Congratulations & Speakerphone

1- Speakerphone I don't know if it is possible because you cannot do that through a standard settings so ...

2- Same question how do you do that normally ?

1- The problem is that once you set a mode using pzp there is no way to retrieve the initial notifications settings.

On the last version for all the modes I set default values for all notifactions ... so it will be possible to reset these default values for a mode

2- It is in the to-do list but I have to look if it is possible

Sorry but for the moment personnally I want to select a mode fastly and easyly. Apart that with a cooked rom I enabled 'lock all button except power' so it avoids to click by accident ;)

Re: Time Save Bug Corrected

Dear Zen,

Just downloaded the newest version from your site! But I think there are still little problems with it!

Found out the following! The problem described above about the hang when the savings pop up shows up is still there, I found out that it is just when you enter the settingspage from the todayscreen! Then changing anthing and try to move to another profile and a hang occurs!

Next is that when you change a setting and then without saving you move to another profile, the savings pop up comes and when you press no, it doesn't save changes, but when you press yes it also doesn't save changes!! By the way, this is only occuring when you enter the settings page through start --> settings --> today --> PZP Settings

Another one is that when you change the volume and forget to save, changing to another profile doesn;t cause the pop up to come and savings aren't changed! So, system and phone volume doesn't pop up the question!

Sorry bothering you this much, but apart from these 3 little things everything is perfect!

Did you find this out too??

I will check tomorrow in details the save system and the bugs running.

One thing sure is that when I wrote 'please download the last version' the update on the site failed but I didn't see that :(

So the last version of the dll must be dated from today at 14h31 (the real last version on the site)

This version normally avoid freeze but may still have some trouble with save (particulary when you pass through settings->today->item ...)

Another thing is I know that if you change the volume (phone or system) you won't have the pop-up. But I didn't find yet how to catch the change event on a slider. I will try to find a solution :wink:

So for the moment try to save with the save button ;)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] k_kirk:
zendrui,

Please have a look at a new beta product called Phone Profiler at

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=38761#38761

Great concept but very weak on the profile management part which you have obviously mastered at this point.

It would be great if you could collaborate with the developer of this product to merge the PocketZenPhone & Phone Profiler. If this is not possible could you look at either introducing similar, location based profile changing capabilities?

Given Phone Profiler allows execution of commands when a cell is logged on, a simple path forward might be to offer a command line option in PocketZen Phone.

If I could run something like PZP Mode 1 at command line and get Pocket Zen Phone to do its magix then I could simply trigger it from Phone Profiler when I reach the cell of interest.

To put this into a clearer picture, Lets say amongst others, I have a home profile in PZP and one for office. What I am looking to achieve here is a way to automatically switch between them when I arrive home or office.

Thanks once again for all your commitment and contribution. Regards

Prebuilt settings

Hi,

I'm currently working on putting together a custom extened rom for the XDA2 to roll out to 15 devices that we are using within our company.

I have managed to add this tool to the rom and also edited the cab file to include a set of icons from your site. This works perfectly.

What I'm wondering is if I can preset the profiles using registry entries stored within the CAB. This way I can setup the profiles for the users so that if they hard reset their device they won't have to spend time setting them back up.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] JaToAc:

First I'd like to thank the 4 people who donated :D

PZP is freeware because I won't personnally pay 29$ for such a software.

But donations are welcome and maybe one day I will be able to replace my XDA1 by a new XDA2 (if 100 people gave 5€ each... :P )

These 4 donations gave me about 22€ and will send 10€ or 20€ for XDA developpers as they do a really great work and as I use their forum for PZP support.

If you give me a XDA2 I give you all the information to do this :D What do you think ?

More seriously (but seriously if you give me an XDA2 ...) I'm not against the fact you include PZP in your business ROM but maybe you can ask your society a little budget to donate before :wink: ?
