Re: bug: scheduled profile switches

Ok, apparently its not a UI bug cuz my XX profile did not switch back this morning. Here's what i did and what i expected pzp to do:

i have the night profile set to auto switch at 10pm and back (to home profile) at 8am the next morning and my current profile was home. I decided to go to bed early at 9.05pm so i figured i will set a timed profile (night) for 60 mins thinking that the scheduled night profile will kick in after that and i'll get my home profile back at 8am the next morning.

however, thats not what happened. when i checked at around 11pm, the night profile was indeed still set but a tap and hold reveals that pzp will only switch back to home profile at 10pm! I assumed it was a UI bug but in fact, it was not. at 8am this morning, its still showing night profile and a tap and hold still shows that it will switch back to home profile at 10pm.

what gives?

Re: Notifs settings

i'm experiencing this as well (ipaq 6340) - but i have 5 such items present in the list. my guess is that PZP is writing to a wild pointer somewhere. other application (Ipaq profiles) have that list of event correct.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Re: Notifs settings

Just to give you an example

It is 13:00 I am in mode4

My mode5 is programmed to be selected at 13:05

If I tap&hold mode3 for 10min

Before 13:05 I will see switching to mode4 at 13:10

At and after 13:05, PZP has noticed that normally it would have switched to mode5 and so display switching to mode5 at 13:10

At 13:10 it switchs to mode5

So in your case after at 10pm you should have stayed to mode night

And the morning 8am you should have switched to home

Don't know why it stayed in duration even after 10pm ??

I think I found the problem and correct it. I have to make some tests again but I hope it will be fixed in the next version.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
For the 5.2 version

I added the possibility to customize the time for the tap&hold menu

First what do you think of that ?

By tap&holding you still have the menu, but the left button display the following setting window...

Then if you like that do you think I should let icon for the tap&hold menu. this means that if you set another time you have to create the appropriate icon (for example if you change 30 min to 38min ...)

Or should I removed the icon and see if I can display directly the time

30min 1h30 2h00 5h00 ...

What do you think?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] xda-rocks:
Customize the time for the tap&hold menu is a brilliant idea.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] fuf:
Re: For the 5.2 version

hello,

i think that the use of icons is not good in the long term. displaying a text over an icon in the background should do the job quite easily. it'd also make the customization of the time usable (ie. i can't imagine i'd see 45min icon which would mean 1h15 in reality, or to create an icon for every little change - ugh...)

the same applies to the modes/profiles - again text over an icon (which could be disabled to conserve the space).

Auto Answer & Buttons

Hi

Like all the others in this forum, thanks for a great program.

I must say, if i'm getting into the car & juggling with all the other bits that I,m carrying, the last thing I want to be doing is messing about with a stylus to switch to BT headset, that why I grabbed this program. At least as it stands it's a single tap.

However, I would suggest that a button assignment that cycles a pre configured set of profiles to suit the user (thus not necessarily all of them) would be a godsend. So, I hope that you get progress on this one Zen.

I have a problem with the auto pickup not working while in BT Connectable MS & in Headset mode. Should it work in this configuration?

Lastly on the subject of an appropriate icon for the main bar, I would suggest a simple border ajustment representing the status, but with one all important addition, like you have done with the other Icons, show people how to customise it & effectively let the users come back with some designs.

Thanks again

Re: Notifs settings

ok, so your example works. However, its different from the scenario i've described. I will try to describe it as best as i can again here:

It is 21:00 and i'm in mode4.

My mode2 is scheduled to switch at 22:00 and back at 8:00 to mode4.

At 21:05, i decided to tap&hold mode2 for 60mins

At 21:10, i see switching to mode4 at 22:05

At 23:00, i still see switching to mode4 at 22:05!

i've just tried it again tonight and its still showing the same result like the last time. My guess is that at 22:00, pzp sees itself to be in the right profile already (in my example is mode2) and didn't do a thing.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] guyperkins:
Re: Auto Answer & Buttons

Zen

No, I was referring to earlier posts requesting an indicator icon "in the main bar at the top", to show current profile & status switch etc & your understandable response given the physical size & single colour issue.

Personally, so long as there is either an icon at the top OR in the tray that shows current profile & I can just use a button config in the next tray version, I'd be very happy indeed.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] zendrui:
Re: Auto Answer & Buttons

I just took a look and find why it doesn't work.

In fact if you try with another to tap&hold on another mode it will work.

I will correct that.

Do you say that with wired headset it doesn't work ?

Use the tray then ;)

Because in the main bar of the top I don't think I can add a colored icon.

NO not at all. I am saying, thanks to Microsoft, It's something that we all should be able to do on BT Headset & can't. :evil:

PocketZenPhone uninstalled-notifications settings screwed up

Because I had the problem that my alarms didn't go off anymore, or just flashed while there should have been a ring too, I have uninstalled PocketZenPhone. That problem is gone since.

The problem is that now the app is gone, the notification settings are screwed up a little. Like with "ActiveSync: End sync" and "Beam: Autoreceive" I must suddenly choose a Ring type and Ring tone.... :?:

How can I fix this?

Outlook setting: Automatic profile switching

Hi Zendrui,

would it be possible in the outlook settings to change the condition

"When category is" <selected category>

to

"When category contains" <selected category> ?

Reason: in my outlook appointments I use several categories at the same time (list of categories seperated by ";"). Therefore the automatic mode switching does not work for me.

Thanks in advance

Keep-alive mode

Hey,

PZP is a really great tool! Nevertheless Im still missing one feature: When Im using GPS Navigation with TomTom my device turns off after the duration given in the windows configuration :cry: . Could you implement a function to keep the device alive in a certain mode regardless of the preset time?

Thx!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] tadzio:
Re: Keep-alive mode

There is a switch to do exactly what you want in the TomTom GPS(!) program settings. Start TomTom's GPS app, and go to the second ( = GPS) tab. In the middle of the screen you should see two small sliders. The left one has an icon next to it that symbolizes a PDA. Move the slider so that the icon changes from showing "Zzz" to the TomTom Red Hands. With this setting, your PDA will not turn off as long as TomTom is running.

However, the backlight will still turn off. But there already is a setting in PZP to keep the backlight on for a certain time. Just set this to indefinite length, and you should all be set. :-)

A little more info.

Backlight settings:

Unfortunately, the only way to fix the problem is to un-install PocketZen. I am using the latest version (5.1). I have tried both: Today plug-in and Tray.

I didn't have any problem with the older version (5.01).

Some issues I am having

Well I have a pda2k with the newest ROM and here are some of the issues I am having:

Auto switching of profiles does not work.

The time-switching where I can choose between 15 min and 120 min does not work. It just does not auto switch back after the time period is up.

For some reason the icons don't show up on the today page after a soft reset. I don't have a specific time period when they do come on. Just random time period then they show up.

Also I cannot export or import any settings. When I click on either button, nothing happens. No errors just nothing.

Any idea why this could be happening or any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Oh one last thing. I didn't see anything in the start up folder in windows to call the program to start on restart etc. Am I missing anything?

You talk about PZPTray? Because this is for PZPtray that a shortcut is created when you install it.

You mean your mode off is programmed to be selected at an hour then to switch back the morning. And if you set this mode before the programmed hour then the mode won't switch back the morning?

Hi,

just a feature request to support ringtones in storage cards. it has been found that if the registry keys are changed, the default app can pick up ringtones even in storage cards. i believe all the PZP need to do is to read the reg key for the path to the ringtones rather than hardcoding it to \windows\ring.

Of course :D Here there are :

- PZP Tray can now be assigned to a button. By clicking it will switch to the next mode.

- Time for the Time Menu are now customizable

- Time menu is now displayed with the duration in hh:mm (and so icon are just for the settings and exit)

- Power Settings

- MP3 ringtone support for ImateJam/XDAmini/HTCMagician

- Correction for the little squares in the notification list (you can import from a buggy exported file)

- Ring Tones are now get from the folder defined in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\Directory (by default \windows\rings)

- Now during an outlook switch, the manual switches are impossible. To abort an outlook switch running you have to click on the left icon.
