Okay I think I really need hollidays ...

The version I posted early had the timemenu disabled for tests ...

ok just this point changed
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
:? Sorry for this

:shock: the only thing I play since some betas is the algorithm of time ...

I don't touch about installation ...

I tried last beta on both XDA1 and XDA2 and XDA2 hard reseted before ....

You do not have to thank us anything. It makes fun to test PZP, because you are so engaged.

Till now, I have no Problems.

I will test over Midnight.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] amir77a:
Zen,

We wrote quiet sometime ago about adding an option to let PZP autodial a certain number while choosing a certain profile.

When I come near my home, the cellular reception is bad, so I dial a number to divert calls from my cell phone to my home number and vice versa in the next morning. I will be glad if PZP will do this for me.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] BRosenow:
I too will be on holiday for a few days and wanted to do some time-based switching (specifically as it relates to crossing midnight) before I leave.

I set PZP to switch to mode2 (headset off, BT off) at 23:55 and back to mode4 (Headset on, BT on) at 00:05. I set the time on my imate to 23:50 and waited.

The switch to mode2 worked on time and as expected - the BT light ceased flashing. At first look, it appeared that the switch back to mode4 did not occur as the BT light did not begin flashing at the appropriate time. After turning the device on, I noticed that the mode4 icon was indeed selected, but the BT light was not flashing and did not appear to be on. Tapping the mode4 icon did turn on the BT light, so I'm not sure if BT functionality was on, but I suspect not.

Strange . . . :?

I will continue my testing and report back as time permits.

PZP 5.Beta4 Bug with 180 Min. Switch

Hi Zen,

thanks for your new Beta.

So please look at my picture:

You have a Problem with Time-Duration with the Temp-Minutes Selection

The Entry in "StopMinutesTemp" will greater than 60!!!

So the Mode will not changed to original Mode... :cry:

Look at my picture.

-- And so on,

after one day testing. At First day, the Outlook Switch is great...

At Day Two, Outlook not switch... :(

...

New Test:

But after a SoftReset Outlook Switched...

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Found why 180min error ... corrected

I tried switch over night only with programmed switch not with outlook switch ... I will try

You said after a soft reset it switchs ... strange ... I have to test more deeply over many days to see

Can you post your timelog please
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] k_kirk:
loaded b4 last night before going to sleep. correctly performed the morning time based switch and all my Outlook meetings so far today generated correct behaviour. I did not test the tap & hold etc but seems like the wakeupzenphone issues and occasional refusal to outlook switch are gone. Well done!!!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Just to explain a little. PZP calculs the next time to switch and program WakeZenphone to wake up the ppc if needed, to allow the mode switch.

The message "wakezenphone notifications"... was due to an incorrect calcul.

I think now that all the calculs are corrects and so WakeZenPhone is well programmed (you can check that in the time log)

But it seems that sometime the PPC sleeps too heavy or something like that and wakezenphone cannot start ...

I have to find what...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] JaToAc:
i set pzp to switch to mode 1 at 21:30 and back to mode 3 at 06:15. switch to mode 1 worked, but didn't switch to mode 3 this morning...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Could you post your log file please ?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
I forgot to answer you sorry.

Well PZP is focus on set parameters ...

I think that deal with phone calls (such as handle phone call to do something ...) is not really it goal ... sorry ... maybe in version 6.0 ;)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Version 5 beta 5

Ok the new ... again ...

Version 5.0 beta 5

I corrected the 180min prob

And thank to the log you sent me I corrected the switchs missing problem

I will try over a real night but I set my device to 23h50 and set a switch for 00h05 then another to 00h10 and a end hour at 00h20 and all was ok

Since this morning I made about 50 switchs and all happend well ... so let's see if it is the same for you ;)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] mtbsoft:
Devil 's Advocate here, stirring up trouble as usual...!

Another idea for the future regarding Outlook switching - the ability to switch modes based on multiple statuses and/or categories.

In other words, much like each mode has it's timed switching, each could also have it's own Outlook settings. This way you could have a meeting category or status which switches into silent mode and another for switching the phone OFF completely.

Just an idea as I say, no urgency, I just think it could be useful - e.g. when I donate blood I have to turn the phone OFF not to silent because of the medical equipment around.

Have an excellent holiday Zendrui and try to forget about us and relax for the time you're away!

Re: Version 5 beta 5

OK, I finally got around to some testing.

Started at Mode1

23:55-00:25 Mode4 then to Mode5

23:57-00:15 Outlook Appt. switch to Mode2 then back

23:58-00:13 Mode3 set for 15mins.

Ended at Mode5

All worked perfectly and ended in Mode 5

Started Mode1

23:55-00:15 Mode4 then to Mode5

23:57-00:14 Outlook Appt. switch to Mode2 then back

23:54-00:09 Mode3 set for 15mins.

Logically if the Time/Outlook switches were to happen at 00:09 I would have switched to Mode2 (for rest of Outlook Appt.) which it did but instead of switching to Mode Mode4 at 12:14 for rest of time Appt it stayed in Mode2 where it chaned for the Outlook Appt.

So by starting a menu switch after the time/outlook switch(s) all switches work but starting a menu switch before the time and/or outlook switch(s) disables the time switch.

Anyone else with the same results. (although Zendrui for me it works good enough, because I don't use the menu switch).
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Well I tried your schedule two and wwhen I turn on my PPC I am in mode4

I will retry to eb sure and also look if from 00:09 to 00:14 I'm well in mode2...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
I think it is a good idea too ... What the other think ?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Avalon-99:
Yes a good Idea.

Yesterday with PZP_5_beta_4 the switch over midnight works. This Night with PZP_5_beta_5, it doesn't work.

But, it could be also caused through the alarmbug of W2003 mobile.

I think, you publish a Beta which will be deactivated after your holidays. :D

We could test it for two Weeks and if you return, you are fit and rested, to remove founded bugs. :lol:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Yes, the beta 5 has the time limit to the 24/08/2004 so I will let it available here and I will see your comments when I will be back :)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] iggy:
Hi Zen, for both of these scenerios you shoud end in Mode5 at 12:15 and 12:25, end of Mode4 switch. Busy day today, will try these scenerios again later.

Also think the multiple outlook categories is a great idea.

One question which others apart from Zen may be able to answer....

When in the options and going in to set the PIN for the SIM lock I can tap into the area, but the SIP does not pop up which means I can't input the code for the SIM.

This may be because I use FITALY as my default input method. Does anyone else have the same problem, or a work around?

Cheers.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] mtbsoft:
I have a similar issue with Calligrapher sometimes, I simply switch to another application that causes the SIP to appear then switch back, the icon usually remains active and permits you to activate the input method.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Tekguru:
Cheers - managed to perform your trick from within Pocket Informant - apprecaited!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] JaToAc:
Hi Tekguru,

the field with the "..." brings up the keyboard. i'm using resco-keyboard and it works without problems...

@all:

i now tried the third time under real conditions and PZP doesn't time-switch thte profile.

set switch to mode 1 at 09:45 pm works, but back at 06:00 (next day) doesn't work...

after first installation of the latest PZP beta it seemd to work, but i forgot that PZP doesn't import the sim-code, so i thought that was the problem (mode three was selected but no radio was on due to missing sim-code).

the second try did switch to mode 1 but not to mode three, the third test didn't switch too..

anyone with the same problem?

cu
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] iggy:
JaToAc, I had a similar problem this morning, Mode3 switched but did not switch back. Curious question is your Mode1 set to turn Radio Off because my Mode3 is. I noticed when it was switched to Mode3 the disable time switch (red) icon was showing. Tried switch again for 5mins and it worked correctly but the icon was the green- all switches enabled while in Radio Off mode. I am going to try again this time setting Radio Off for a longer time.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] JaToAc:
yes, my mode 1 is radio off... so it switches at night to phone off and in the morning to mode three whith radio on. in all three tests i have the green icon for all switches activated on (i guess) and it didn't turn to any other state while switching to mode three (i believe). i will test that again and have a look... thanks for your reply...

cu
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] iggy:
Thanks JaToAc, I just did some more testing and the green enable all switches was activated. so why it had a disable switch this morning I do not know. One thing I want to test is that StopTime alarm woke me up this morning and maybe that somehow cause the disable when the time switch happened after (talk about grasping for straws). I will test now.

Update: Tested without a problem. I am out of ideas, anyone else????

Possibility of Power / Backlight Settings

Hello zendrui,

Why you do not insert the possibility of Power / Backlight Settings?

It watches this application: Power / Backlight Settings (Schemes) Switcher

for Pocket PC - http://www.s3ven.freesurf.fr/index.php
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] amir77a:
OK, I found it.

So just to be sure, if I need in the future to import from the text file, I just put it, in the same folder right?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] ilvanni:
Yes! and then click the import button for any profile.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] amir77a:
Good, Thanks.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] mtbsoft:
Another one for consideration when Zen gets back (don't want him to be bored!!!).

The tap and hold on a mode brings up the timer bar with times of 15,30,45,60,120,180, that's fine for me and others here, but what if someone wants a different period?

So... how about adding a config screen which permits the user to define the six periods themselves? Obviously the user will have to provide their own icons but it's another element of customisation to make the product even more customisable.

Just a thought.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] k_kirk:
Great idea! This one probably is not that hard to do for Zendrui either... Lets see what he says when he comes back. Cheers
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] talisim:
Hi everybody,

I have a small problem with the refresh of the screen. I explain. PocketZenPhone is activated on Today screen. I go to program folder by taping on Start and next on Program. I scroll to down to lunch a programm. Less than 5 seconds, the screen go to the begining of the program folder. I think It's due to the refresh method of PocketZenPhone. Few months ago, OmegaOne Battery Pack has the same problem. But they resolved this fact.

This is realy disapointed because you are looking for an icon and sudenly, the screen comes at the begining and you must scroll again to go down. I disable PocketZenPhone and the phenomen stops.

Otherwise, PocketZenPhone is the must have for PPC Phone Ed. Bravo to Zendrui.

Bye.

Ringtones

I just heard about this program and bought it for my Samsung i700. Exactly what I was looking for, and not buggy like PhoneProfiles. One question (and forgive me for not looking through 84 pages of replies)-- I noticed that all my ringtone options that are in my phone settings are not in the options for each Mode. For example: I want to use the Windows default as my ring. It is not an option under the pulldown menu. Any thoughts?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] cnson:
Hi,

I've never got the outlook switch to work in my XDAII. I'm now using beta 5, I installed it by:

- uninstalling the older version

- deleting relavant registry keys

- installing the lasted version

- importing the modes / or recreating the modes

but regardless how I change the outlook seetings, the start/stop times under the mode0 keys in the registry maintain at 0 value (see attached image).

Hope I did something wrong, could someone show me how to fix that.

Thanks

After setting outlook appt. did you tap&hold PzP settings button (right of profiles icons)?.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] cnson:

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] iggy:
Sorry, I know these are dumb questions but sometimes they are the problem. Did you remember to set the category in your outlook appt.

If yes, maybe a screen print of a test appt. and your screen after tap&hold of settings button would help.

Hate to say this, but, seems my outlook switch also does not work anymore. Anyone else?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] cnson:
Yes, I did remember to set the appt to an appropriate category, and a correct staus as well. See the attached images, see also the time for the sequence of my steps.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] schen:
This is because since timelog recording being introduced from version 4.9.1 or 4.5.x something get written in time log over and over again every 5-10 second. Everytime the timelog.txt file get updated the program folder reset itself to the beginning again. I know that 4.9.1beta has this problem. Not sure other release after that. Never tried the new beta as I think PZP has too much right now it slow down the system not to mention the new bugs. I think release 4.9.1 is the best release so far provided that the time log problem being fixed. All other features after 4.9.1 is pretty heavy to use on today screen.

Anyway, I remember I created a nice Time Menu icons for 4.9.1. Dont use it right now but I think I want to share it here. You will have to use the released commercial version 4.9.1. The beta does not display the bitmap correctly.

Best use 45px height standard icons though to have it display nicely.

Hi Zen, I've always followed the discussion on your product and all the hints and recommendations made by the other readers. Its just fantastic how people worked together :D

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] iggy:
Cnson, very interested to see if this is the cause. I orginally had my date format set to mm/dd/yy recently switched to dd-mmm-yy at which point outlook switch did not work, reset to mm/dd/yy and outlook switch works again.

Please advise if this is the same for you.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] JaToAc:
that would clear the fact why this is not working on my german xda2. in the region settings i only have dd.MM.yy no other setting possible (except d.MM.yy)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] cnson:
Olala! It's the same for me!

Further I found:

1. If the date format set to Month first then Date, for instance mm/dd/yy, outlook switch works,

2. but if it set to Date first then Month (dd/mmm/yy or dd/mm/yy), outlook switch works (but wrongly) for dates lower than or equal to 12 and doesn't work (at all) if the date >12. Same if you set Year first then Month

3. So I guess that PZP consider the date is ALWAYS formated as Month then Day then Year, hence it takes the 2 first figures as the month, 2 next as the date and 2 last is the year. If you set your time format another way, PZP will take a wrong date or even will not understand.

iggy, you are brillian! With your discovery I think Zen will easily fix the bug.

Back

Hello guys,

I'm back in France :)

Thank for your patience, for your tests and to keep the forum alive :)

I read your posts fastly with my xda and will look them in details sunday on my PC.

But I have to admit that when the sun was too hot I worked a little on PZP :D

I totally rewrote the time scheduling, and add some functiuns ...

In 1 week of tests I didn't miss a switch... day after day. So I hope you will have the same results when I will post the new beta ...

From your posts : Normally dates and outlook dates are regional settings independants. I tested in german, us, french settings ... Will look more in details...

Previews of the things I added :

- outlook settings are now mode dependant

- new states for the time icon (when a outlook is running, a duration is running...

- possibility to display the end time of the duration (when you set a switch from the menu)

- possibility to not set the ring tone, hoping this will allow pzp to be compatible with ringtonex...

...

See you saturday or sunday for more details when I had read all your comments

Best and kind regards

New Beta

Hello,

I read all the posts and most of them are about the time switchs

So here is the new beta: The version 5.0 beta 7

As written above (3 times :?) it has :

- a all rewritten time switch process (so sorry but other tests for you ;))

- new icons states for the time icon

green : all switchs are allowed

red : no switch is allowed

blue : only programmed switchs (start/end hour) are allowed

brown : only outlook switchs are allowed

brown and black : a switch due to an appt is running

black : a switch from the time menu is running

- now you can display the end time of a duration when you set a switch with the time menu. For that simply tap&hold on the menu currently selected when the time icon is black (see pictures)

Maybe instead of the end time I could display the minutes remaining ... I let you see ...

it desapears after 6 seconds. Click on the corss will abort the time duration running

- outlook settings are now mode dependant (so mode0 does not exists anymore)

It normally gets the regional settings for the date and deal with. I tried with french, us, german date format and it worked so let me know for you

- you can now allow or not to set the ring mode when you change a mode. I cannot have phonext working on my xda1 so if people that had ringtoneX or phonext that were in conflict with PZP can tell me if it now works ... thanks

- I add the time log but now it doesn't not write every time ... it only writes essential information.

Well I think this is all.

So the main goal of this beta is to validate first that all the switchs work, and that all the other still work too

After that I have to find nice looking s for the time icon (so if you make some post them ;)) check that the performances are still ok, update the doc ...

If I didn't see a post about other problem that switchs problem let me know ...

Re: New Beta

Sorry Zen, the to switches work but does not switch back to original mode even through the black icon switches back to green it stays in the switched to for Outlook or Tap&Hold. Also I do not get the timer showing how much longer I am in that mode.

Update: will only start outlook switch if date format starts with Month (mm\dd\yy or m\d\y), tested starting with Year and Day switch does not happen.

Also Zen, if you don't mind I(we) need some larger icons for settings\switches.

Re: New Beta

1) With with regional settings is the date formatted with year first ? I tried swtich in bulgarian... and the year is always at the end
