I went from 5.5 to 5.51 Beta. I have it set to change to mode1 during any Outlook appt that is flagged as busy. This worked fine. but after the appt was deleted, I was having a hard time with it.

I can change modes, but I cannot change how it works... meaning I cannot have All Enabled. It is stuck in the disabled mode (the tray icon is the little red square). I tap for the menu and can choose any mode, exit and even get to the settings. but if I select All Enabled, it does nothing.

I removed and reinstalled 5.5 (without deleting my settings) and the problem remains.

I restored my settings from when it was working and noticed the text file "PocketZenPhoneTemp" was less than 100b while my backup was 3k. Restoring this file fixed the problem.

Also, while changing the mode settings earlier today, I found one other file went from approx 3k to under 100b...but it was the mode1 file. Again, restoring a backup fixed the problem. This was also 5.51 beta.

.mp3 or .wav

Hello,

I've got little prob with PZP :

I've put my .mp3 and .wav in /windows/rings folder.

In the PZP setup, I can select them but when the phone rings, I hear the default one. ! !

Have I to soft reset to confirm the changes ?

Thanks.

P.S. Voyant votre drapeau français dans la signature, ne peut-on pas poser des questions aussi en français. Je pourrais être plus précis. :)

Hi zendrui!

Tryed your software, excelent work! Just what everyone needs. I specialy like settings for vibrating alert (short vibrate and ring).

Here is one suggestion; can you make 2 combo boxes for ring settings? One for ringing and another for vibrating? Then there would be more choices to choose... I have mp3/wma ringtones, they are long and if I select 'vibrate and ring' vibrator is vibrating continuosly, but I would like it to vibrate in short 'pulses'. If I select 'short vibrate and ring' phone is first vibrating and

then

ringing, but not vibrating

and

ringing.

If two combo boxes are too much work maybe 'just' rename current 'short vibrate and ring' to 'short vibrate THEN ring' and make another 'short vibrate AND ring' with functionality I described.

Keep up good work!

Regards

robinio

Re: pocketzenphone

Bonjour,

je repond en anglais car la reponse peut interesser d'autres gens ;)

Il faut telecharger la verison 5.51 qui corrige ca normalement.

This problem is corrected in the 5.51 beta you can get here wwW.pocketzenphone.net/PZPBeta.htm

Thanks for your message :) The problem is not to add two combos the problem is that ring modes are a combination of codes allowed by microsoft.

This means that every combinations won't work. All the ring modes in PZP were tested and I think there is no other combination possible :(

Re: wav rings

Thanks for the info. I get a M3000 so I will be able to make test on it.

My first impression is that PZP on M3000 is really very slow (to open/close/navigate in the settings mainly)

Whereas on a Qtek2020/WM5.0 it is fast enough.

for flight mode I will see I have the same...

I confirm it's very,very slow (comparing with v5.3). Even in tray.

Calendar Freezing

Zendrui,

I am having the same problem with the calendar freezing on 5.5. Only a soft reset will return it to the Today screen - although I notice that it is only "returning" that is a problem - if I want to look in more detail at an appointment it will happily go "forward"

Otherwise this is a great piece of software, well done!

desktop setting

I have a suggestion: how about some settings that are activated by cradling teh PPC phone?

For example:

- when cradled, the desktop computer will also ring (my cradle is in another room and I don't always hear my phone ringing)

- when cradled after x PM, then go to sleep mode (my sleep schedule is not always the same, but if it's night and cradled, then I'm surely sleeping)

- when cradled, forwards call to specified number (may be difficult to interface with Provider side)

Just some ideas...

GPRS re-connection issue.

Zendrui, and all, my apologies if this has already been covered - but really cant see a resolution for this in this enormous thread :D

With PZP installed (tried 5.5 and 5.51) on XDA2 with Buzz's 1.60cWWE WM5 / radio 1,08, Once the GPRS connection is terminated (e.g. after sending / recieving email) it will not reconnect without either doing a reset or switching into, then back from, flight mode..

Re: GPRS re-connection issue.

I tried on a hard rested Qtek2020/WM5.0, S100/WM2003, 9100/WM5.0 and when PZP is the only app installed no GPRS problem. But as soon as I install other app I have the same toruble. So maybe when more than one app manage the phone calls it creates trouble ? I'm checking that. Here is below the test made by Jim a PZP user

XDA Exec hard reset

Create GPRS Connection in connection manager

Connect to GPRS from connection manager OK/Disconnect OK

Install PocketZenPhoneTools

Install PocketZenPhoneToday

Connect to GPRS Fails with Modem not answering message

The only thing I didn't do in the above test was soft reset!!

XDA Exec hard reset again

Create GPRS Connection in connection manager

Connect to GPRS from connection manager OK/Disconnect OK

Install PocketZenPhoneTools

Soft Reset

Connect to GPRS from connection manager OK/Disconnect OK

Connect to GPRS #2 from connection manager OK/Disconnect OK

Install PocketZenPhoneToday

Soft Reset

Connect to GPRS from connection manager OK/Disconnect OK

Connect to GPRS #2 from connection manager OK/Disconnect OK

Further Testing

Change profile using PocketZenPhoneToday..

Connect to GPRS from connection manager OK/Disconnect OK

Connect to GPRS #2 from connection manager OK/Disconnect OK

Check mail allowing autoconnect on send receive OK/Disconnect OK

Alter PocketZenPhone configuration and save

Re-select profile

So, everything seems fine here now, with a soft reset after installing PocketZenPhone Tools & then another after installing PocketZenPhone today... I haven't been able to recreate the GPRS connection problem...

Well normally it should work. I will check again as I just saw that even if I put a mp3 for a PZP mode, select this mode, go to the phone settings, I see well that this mp3 is selected but when I get a call I have window default ringing ??!! Maybe it is the same problem ?

"Return at" will be applied only if the mode is selected. I mean if you set 'return at 22:00 to mode3' this for the mode4 and if at 22:00 this mode 5 that is selected it won't switch. Is it your case or not at all ?

Skin for Time Menu and some minor tasks

Hi zendrui,

I'm running PZP as a today plug-in on a HTC Wizzard (A German xda mini s w/ WM5). Everything works great with some minor problems. Sorry if they are mentioned before:

1. Time Menu is not working. If I tab 'n hold on a mode, no menu to choose from appears. The files MenuSettings.bmp and MenuQuit.bmp are there, is there a *.bmp file missing for the menu itself?

2. WiFi on/off is not working at all.

3. A Mode change switches to the windows standard ring tone, I had to deselect the option in the setting menu for each mode and use the phone option to define the ring tone. Since I always use the same ring tone it's no big thing.

4. Is there a connection between alarm and PZP? I defined a daily alarm in the Start/ Settings/ System/ Clock/ Signals settings at 8:00. If I do so, a timed mode switch in PZP (switch phone on at 6:30) is not working (no mode change). If I switch the mode manually, the alarm starts immediately.

Any ideas?

Thank you,

Klaus

This is a GREAT app, and it's amazingly well supported! I'm a user and evangelist, and I have another one for your features list I'm afraid...

As a bluetooth gps user, I would love it if it were possible to have my wm5 device automatically pair with my gps receiver on profile change.

As say tadzio :) Is the fact to turn on BT using PZP and turn on your GPS won't do what you want ?

Possible workaround for GPRS issue

Thanks for your efforts and reply Zendrui.

The only major application I have installed on my PDA is Tomtom5, perhaps this is causing a conflict somewhere (although the connection issue happens when not running Tomtom).

However, I seem to have stumbled upon a solution that works (for me, anyway). I have now installed SPB GPRS monitor - I discovered that it has an option to connect via GPRS and STAY connected, regardless of whether POP messaging, Tomtom, or I assume any other program, tries to drop the connection.

This is good for me, because not only does it make GPRS reliant work quicker, I can now use PZP again!!! :D
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] tadzio:
Re: Possible workaround for GPRS issue

Hm - I am not sure this is the same situation I see. There is a registry setting that decides if GPRS gets disconnected after some time of inactivity or not. I set it so that GPRS stays always on. However, if I manually disconnect, I cannot reconnect to GPRS unless I switch into and back out of Flight Mode.

So, what I mean is: there is no other program (TomTom, Messaging etc) involved in this problem. However, I will try to install SPB's GPRS monitor and see if that helps.

Cheers

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Hyperbaric:
Don't get me wrong, my own solution is not a proper fix. If, whatever reason, my GPRS connection disconnects, then I have to reort to switching off the radio and back again in order to use GPRS again.

Hi Zen,

Great software but I have a few requests / suggestions that I would like to see implimented if you could....

Ok I think Zenphone does a lot of this already ... The functions I'm looking for are..

A profile option to prevent the backlight going off / standby mode ( ie when Tomtoms running )

A profile option to go 50% or other level back light after a set period with out going to standby

A option to start a profile when a specific bluetooth device or profile is activated ?

Why am I suggesting this ? Let me best explain using this profile...

Currently - get in car - have to start phone software, even on power it goes to standby after a few mins, to make a call I have switch on - start the software and then dial - and this is with a BT carkit...

With the above I could get in, plug in - turn the car on - when the Carkit profile is found Zenphone starts the right profile, which starts the software and gives the back light options above... I say this as some one whos in the car a fair bit..

The Phone is also always on display what ever when in the car with out having to fumble about trying to dial out... and I dont just mean pre programed numbers...

What do you think ? Any body else ?

Re: Possible workaround for GPRS issue

No I aggree this not the same. I just wanted to say that waiting I can figure out what happens it can help ...

That's exactly what I wanted to say ;)

Actually with PZP you can have a mode that prevents backlight or power to go off, turn on BT to connect GPS, and start tomtom automatically.

The only thing is that the plug/carkit detection doesn't exist yet ;) But detect and switch to a mode if plugged to the external power is in my to-do list ;)

Detect a GPS/karkit... connection will be harder I think but why not...

Screen Rotate Icon

Zendrui,

I have read all 202 pages of this post, but I can't remember whether this problem has come up before.....

After a hard reset and a fresh install of PZP (I am running 5.51B on a WM2003SE Alpine, Today version only) I have no problems, but as soon as I am forced to do a soft-reset I lose the screen rotate icon from the system tray. This does not happen with PZP not installed, but is repeatable after every hard reset and install. It's not a major problem, since I hardly ever rotate the screen(and I can rotate it elsewhere) but is an annoyance!

Have you or anybody else got any ideas?

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] tadzio:
Re: Screen Rotate Icon

This is the first time I hear about the screen rotate icon getting lost, but losing the Bluetooth icon is quite common. Maybe it is the same issue.

The problem is not with PZP, it is with how Windows Mobile boots the phone. It seems to do quite a few things in parallel, and having a Today plug-in that takes some time to start disturbs this timing. In the case of Bluetooth, the DLL responsible for displaying the icon seems to get loaded before the Bluetooth stack finished initialising, which of course makes the icon DLL fail loading. I can reproduce that effect by loading PocketBreeze (a plug-in that has to scan the Outlook database, which is a rather lengthy process) or Microsoft's Voice Command.

So, maybe you have a similar situation. Try to find out what programs and plug-ins you run at boot time (SKTools can help you with that), and try disabling the ones you suspect are "fat".

If you happen to run Microsoft Voice Command, let me know - I found a trick to work around the problem it causes. :)

If you don't run any such programs at startup, well, at least it was worth a try. :)

Cheers

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Jargon:
I don't know if this is the same problem with version 5.5 that the others are experiencing. I have been having problems ever since I upgraded to version 5.5. My XDA IIs even crashed right after I upgraded. So I uninstalled PZP 5.5 completely and then reinstalled it. But then my XDA IIs would hang every morning especially when I have set an alarm to go off in the morning. If I have not set an alarm, the device becomes less likely to hang.

I noticed something that is present whenever the device hangs. After the device hangs and I soft-reset it, I run CheckNotifications and notice a strange notification event in the list. One notification event has an argument of AppRunAfterRestore and yet the Application field is blank. I've never seen that kind of item before. So I would delete the item in order to find out if it would come back. So I noticed that whenever the device hangs, that item is there. I think that it might have caused the device to hang. The question is "Where did that strange blank notification event come from?"
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Re: Screen Rotate Icon

With PZP you simply have to go to the last settings tabs. Uncheck "turn on backlight off after" and backlight will enver go off again if you select this mode. Same for power, go to power settings and uncheck "turn off device if not used for..."

See here http://zendrui.free.fr/PZPPower.htm

Wow ! Respect ;)

Same I never heard about that nor have such feedback.

If this si right, this means that PZP can disturb this load as it is slow to initilaize actually. As I'm working on make PZP be faster maybe next version will help in that way.

Actually I almost finish to modify the way PZP reads/writes settings. As soon as I get back my M3000 I will be able to make some bench but it will normally improve a lot the fast of PZP...
