@tadzio:

I can reproduce the problem you describe, exactly.

My machine:

O2 XDA2. Original (Nov 2003) ROM version 1.03.00 (USA) 09/24/03

I don't have much non-standard software on my machine. I normally use the transcriber, so I hadn't noticed this 'bug', but it is 100% repeatable for me.

Hope this helps.
[General Topics] tadzio:
Yes, indeed. This effect sounded so strange that I wanted to verify that others can reproduce it before I alarm the PhonePlus developers. :-)

I guess it is now time to ask the PhonePlus folks to have a look at this.

But maybe one or two of you could confirm this effect - just to be sure.

Cheers

The same for me!!!!

I didn't undertand first why this happend.

I have Qtek2020 ROM version is 1.60.00 (english).

I think it is important for the Phoneplus developers to do something immediatly.

Now I mapped the hardware key to another button and is back OK.

Thanks,

i had to switch back to PhonePlus 1 since PhonePlus 2 stil does not work on my I-Mate, even afer full reinstall with reset and registry cleaning :(

Any thoughts from ME Software about it?????
[General Topics] Grill Oven:
Guys,

What you have just said was very interesting, and though i have never used the block recognizer, i took the liberty to check it with the mobi software (which i think is very poor on features, accesabilty, usabilty and speed...did i forget something? :) ) and the same thing you have described here happens in that software too when the green button is assigned.

very strange indeed, it seems like there is a problem with the green button in every software that collides with the block recognizer, maybe an MS limitation or something. :?: :?: :?:

[General Topics] michar:
Hi,

Again, let me start with warm thanks for you feedbacks.

As some of you know, ME Software has kept a close relationship with its target users since the very beginning of PhonPlus v1, we have been trying to be as attentive as we can to users request and demands for new features and thus when we set out to code the PhonePlus v2, we had a pretty solid list of what the audiance demanded as well as our own understanding and piece of mind of how it should be. On the top of that list was the green button assignment.

This task was tedious due to the fact that Microsoft went to great length to hide the this perticular API (=the developer way of "talking" with the OS) for thier own reasons, and thus preventing us from accessing the XDA HW button. After some very long research (and some heavy reverse engineering... :roll:), we found a backdoor of completing such task.

The bug you described is indeed reproduced in our lab and was very interesting to debug, but unfortunately a solution is not yet at hand.

Seems that going where MS has explicitly did not want us to go has cost a price in some other areas.

I will not go into full technical details, but for now, we are still pouring a lot of resources into it hoping to fix the problem and again giving PhonePlus another nudge toward its perfecting goal.

Meanwhile, we released another version (v2.02) with fixes for the non-consistent Green Button behavior:

1. When in PhonePlus and not in the main screen - pressing the Green key will not dial.

2. When in a different app (e.g MS default dialer) while PhonePlus is running - pressing the Green key will bring up PhonePlus instead of dialing.

That's it for now guys, have a sweet weekend (and go get that 2.02 thing!)

Best regards, Micha.

[General Topics] Urosh:
Michar...

Thanks for the explanation.

I have just one request.

For me (and I saw also for a lot of other users) it is more important to have implemented the possibility to send SMS (more than the green button option) - at least like in D9.

When do you think it should be done?

Thanks for the answer,

Urosh
[General Topics] sublimatica:
I'm starting to think that PhonePlus2 is not for me. Again just now it took 15 seconds to start up from pressing the green button. No other buttons worked during those 15 seconds. The whole machine was frozen. :(

After the soft-reset to try and get the thing working again I had big problems with my HBH-65 headset. First it didn't get activated. So I ended the call (before the person answered) and tried again. Just after I ended the call the headset beeped and the screen bubble came on to say the call was being handled by the headset. Yes - the call I'd just terminated. The headset icon stayed in the top bar of the screen with no call active.

This happened several times just now. Closed PhonePlus2 and went to the normal phone. No problems. Bluetooth worked perfectly.

Another usability bug: using T9 to access a contact. Pressed 32843 to type 'david' and dialled the number. Bluetooth didn't activate, so ended the call and pressed green button again to redial the number. But guess what? It didn't dial my contact, it dialled the number 32843... :roll:

This is a pity because a T9 dialler is an excellent addition to the XDA2 - I just wish PhonePlus2 worked for me in the way the developers intended.

(PS. just had the 15-second hang-up again, so I'm definitely going to uninstall PhonePlus. This time my machine had been reset only 5 minutes ago, and no other programs were running when I pressed the green button. This is completely unacceptable.)
[General Topics] Grill Oven:
This happens to me too, but i dont think it is related to phoneplus.

I get it a lot on different softwares (the slow start up), and it had began even before i installed phoneplus.

Im starting to think it is because the rom upgrade i have done.

Boy, those OS are NOT stable...hope they had improved it in the SE version. :P

PhonePlus v2.1 is out

Hi again,

We have realsed v2.1 which fixes the following bugs:

* GPRS connection causes PhonePlus to behave has if it's in a call.

* Some Speeddial bugs caused by wierd contact names and/or maunualy edited or corrupted speeddial.ini files.

In addition, few minor features were added:

* Note link in main dialing screen.

* SMS link in main dialer screen.

* Default MS Phone link in main screen for quick access to the dfault app when needed.

Urosh: SMS is considered now, as are other features.

sublimatica:

1. We did not encounter your problems, save for the some delays on an old beta ROM, furthermore, plz try our new version, it's a good chance we fixed some of the issues.

2. As we don't currently own a Headset, your seocnd/third reported bugs are very hard to reproduce here for the moment.

You can all download the new version now from

http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=13354 now,

Best regards, Micha.

Hey Michar,

I've downloaded the lastest version of phneplus II versio 2.10.

But they is still a bug in the softwqare has I wrote to you support team I now trying on this forum for an answer.

Why is it when the PhonePluss II is running and you receive a call you answer the call it activates the old dialler.

What would be the point have you dialllker if it cannot take over the old dialler when your dialler it is active.

It sime like you dialler is only good for dialling an number waste of money and space on the memory of an XDA II if you software cannot act as a proper dialler then in my opion it is a waste of time.

Has this bug been addressed (=solved) in the latest version?
[General Topics] michar:
No, unfortunately as I explained, it seems to be Microsoft related problem, originated in the OS mechanism of captruing hardware keys, and for now let me assure you that we are still working out the problem.

If you are using graffiti you may need (for the time) to disbale the green button.

Hi

FULL ACK

I use it for DAILING... and I guess that is the intention of the program ;-)

It would be nice, if PhonePlus would open also by incoming calls, but it is definitvly not a must !!!

Still some of the best money I spend for my XDA :-)

PP2 on SD

With XDA with 32 MB RAM one have to watch carefully what to install to main memory. I install all software I need in SD card and almost every program works fine (even SIP software as Calligrapher or Tengo).

The only problem I have is PhonePlus. Point is that programm works fine from SD but Green Button function does't work at all.

As stated before link to ppcap.exe is hard coded to /program files/me Phone Plus and that's a first problem. As a workaround i did proper shortcut in windows/startup manually. After soft reset green button seems to work but after pressing there is short info that phoneplus.exe cannot be found and device hangs up.

How to change location (which is called by ppcap.exe when U press the green button) of phoneplus ? In registry there is correct information about exe location so where's a problem? When I do assign another button to Phone Plus everything works just fine...

First thing first:

Lets see....

1. First post - check

2. Joined today - check

3. Links and ScreenShots - check

:) :)

Dude, at least if you want to advertise your own software - open a new thread or something...manners my friend, manners...

As for the issue at hand:

Yes, i have checked this software long time ago (again, i was testing this one too) and was testing it again few weeks ago (before phoneplus came out with their second version),

there are many bad things in this software and phoneplus for my opinion is the nearest as it can get to a default dialer. (where is green button? where is DTMF? where is mute? etc. )

Even in the new features you have added (and it is nice to see that softwares keeps developing) there arent any good improvements.

I think I will stay with my phoneplus for now... :)

Have the best of luck.

Re: PhonePlus v2.1 is out

OK...

I've installed the 2.10 version, but the SMS feature is not what I was thinking.

I mean that when you find the contact you can choose (with a button near the number) to send an SMS instead of calling him tapping on the phone number.

That's the solution.

You just added an additional button downside to go to SMS default client where I have to take my stylus out again and find the conact in the classic way.

Please look ad the old D9 how it is solved and you will understand what I mean.

Thanks,

Urosh
[General Topics] markimark:
Re: PhonePlus v2.1 is out

Why do you want to have this feature? If you tap on the sms-button in phoneplus and then in the "to..." - entrie, all entries of your contacts are shown when tapping the first characters of the pre-name, last-name or the phone-number.

What do you want to have more than this.

For me the application is just great!!!
[General Topics] Urosh:
markimark:

In this manner I have to take out my stylus (to find the contact in the SMS client).

With D9 I don't have to.

I just find the contact without stylus (like in Phonplus) and than I tap the SMS button near the gsm number and than it opens the SMS client (like Phoneplus) with the contact already selected. Now I have only to select a My Text (predefined text) and to send (all these thigs without a stylus).

With Phoneplus I have to use two hands to do this (with a stylus).

Do you understand now why I need this?

For me is very important that I can send an SMS on the go (and not to stop all the time and take out the stylus and bla bla...) like with my old GSM.

Poeple cant understand that no software will be perferct for everybody.

You cant buy a ferrari and claims it cant fly ("for me, flying a ferrai is crucial, i cant live without it").

Like markimark, I think that the feature they have added is just the thing i need.

I wish there was a software company that will develop a software for each user individualy, suited for everyone needs specificly(like : "PhonePlus - John edition" :) )....but there isnt any company that does that and i dnt think there ever will be.

("Do you understand now why I need this") - users are starting to demand their own versions of software.

I think that we, the users, are too demanding sometimes, even beyond reasonable critisism.

"With D9 I don't have to" - And with my coffee maker in my kitchen i can make ....coffee. :lol:

By the way, Michar, I have sent you a mail today about skins.

I think we will sure want to see some more skins, I know that we can do it ourselves...but still :wink:

Cheers all,
[General Topics] surur:
Everyone has the right to complain. Its called valuable feedback to the developer. You know most people dont complain, they just try the software, and choose not to buy it.

The more bases a developer can cover with his software, the more people will be happy and buy it.

You ferrari example is obviously very wrong, cars cant fly. But how about saying my Lamborghini had a triptronic gearbox, Im not buying a ferrari until they make one with one. At least ferrari will know there is a segment of the market that demand that feature, and if it is large enough they may provide them with the option.

Maybe whats really needed is a thread by the developer requesting comments regarding the features people want, and then a poll listing those features, so the developer can know what people consider important.

Of course you cant make all the people happy all of the time, but with software (through the use of preferences) its possible to come much closer than in other fields.

Missing feature in phone plus. In default dialer, u can cut n paste a number n press green button to dial, but not so in phoneplus. Think is quite easy to implement this feature n important (as least to me :-) ) ; cause i often recieved phone number thru sms. Otherwise phoneplus will b a perfect phone dialer ;-)
[General Topics] Urosh:
Surur understood prefectly what I mean. I agree exactly with him.

With my post I answered to markimark, because he didn't understand why I need this feature (which is very important for me).

I also asked to the developers (when I tested it) for this feature and they said that they will add it. I've also BOUGHT it becasue of this.

I asked again if what they added in this version was what they mean with SMS feature and they confirmed me (very kindly) that they are working on what I asked (not only a shortcut to the default SMS client).

You see... the thing is more complicated than you mean. I'll never ask for things that are impossible to do.

Just another thing... I can give you the example of PocketZenPhone to say you how perfect a user support could be (also for free).

OK, this is really an extreme support, but...

ive installed phone plus 2 and what i see so far is a pretty good software i would however like to be able to send sms from the dialer mabe a little icon at the bottom apart from this i think we should give the developers a chance to fix the minor bugs keep up the good work p.s. mabe the could work on a dialer skin software drag and drop pictures you like to make a skin :wink:
[General Topics] iggy:
I agree with Urosh on this point, this would be the better solution.

I have not tried this app for a long time but this version is damm close to exactly what I want and at the stage it is at now I will buy it.

But it would be great to have the SMS button.

Also, would be great if Michar if when you go to another option (i.e. Speed Dial, Call Log, Notes, etc.) that their was a back button or could use the Red button\D-Pad to go back to the dialer.

Great job, it has greatly improved.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
it could be because the csc on the phone is not matching the csc of rom you installed. use *#272*IMEI# and select the correct CSC. this will WIPE the phone. so be sure to be on a safe kernel. If this code doesnot work, then use CSC changer from the play store ( root access required)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyCr15:
I've been using a Galaxy S3 LTE version on 3 in the UK for the last 6-10 months. I've recently bought a HTC One 2nd hand, which came with an O2 stock ROM.

I remember when I checked initially, in 'Network mode' there were 4 options, the last one of which mentioned LTE. I did a speed test and got somewhere in the region of 10 or 11mbps.

I've now flashed two different custom ROM's and neither had those 4 options, just 2, neither mentioning LTE or 4G.

Now, I know 3 doesn't have LTE yet, but they do have DC-HSDPA, which is usually available on phones that are LTE capable.

I've just done a speed test on the HTC One and then my S3 LTE, the One score 7 mbps, the S3 10 mbps.

So, any ideas how I can get the LTE option back?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sean.trinidade:
Since you know the speed that you are getting now, have you tried flashing your M7 back to a stock rom (there are plenty of links available for you to do this) and seen what speed you get with that? If the speed is the same on a stock ROM, then you know it's not a ROM issue.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyCr15:
I have found a RUU that will take it back to stock, which I was thinking to try, but then as I say, I know I could get 10mbps already, is there really anything to gain doing this?

I may anyway. If I can get DC back, I would stick with that ROM and root probably.

Any links for the O2 stock ROM though? That's what I know had it.

2. I was getting download speeds on 3 of 12-15 mbps.

3. The phone is advertised as having DC-HSDPA.

All One models sold in the UK are 4G. The difference appears to be that some have the 4G option disabled by the operator, but I guess this can be changed easily by a sim update by the operator.

Sorry to be a pain, but one thing I realise is H+ can give you speeds up over 10mbps, surely that's not proof that you're getting DC-HSDPA? Can you remember what Network Signal Info said in the connection type?

I was getting 15mbps on speedtests with 3 (without 4G/LTE option in settings). It's unlikely to get 15mbps on just H+, because the theoretical maximum is 21mbps (EE on H+ only gets 2mbps on a speedtest). I can't remember what Network Signal Info said the network type was, but the speed next to it said 42mbps - which is DC-HSDPA.

What speeds do you get on a speedtest?

Edit: Just seen that you say you get 10 or 11. I don't think you will get higher than that in London on DC-HSDPA. In a city centre I was getting 8-10, and 15 away from the city.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyCr15:
I'm just back from work, where I scored a 11mbps whilst I only had an H connection, so I was thinking maybe I am getting DC... then I've read this -

It definitely doesn't say 42mbps as my max in the app. If it switches to H+ it jumps to 21 max, but I've not seen 42 while I'm on the custom ROM.

10 or 11 is (was) on a DC enabled phone, with the LTE option. On a custom ROM I hadn't gotten above 7, until I got the 11 at work. I'm rather confused though if you say the app knows when you have DC. I think I need to do a bit more testing on my S3 LTE...

**EDIT** Interestingly, on my S3 it says 'HSPA (14.4Mbit/s)', so it doesn't mention DC, but has doubled up the maximum speed. HSPA+ still shows as a maximum of 21Mbit/s though.

Also, the S3 does list LTE in the 'Network mode' options.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sean.trinidade:
I can't imagine it being specific to O2 (given O2 doesn't have LTE). Just flash any stock ROM.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyCr15:
So using the O2 stock Nandroid I got from this thread I have the LTE option back, although only 3 options in all, I recall there were 4 on the original ROM I had.

I just clocked a 12 Mbit/s download, which I think is the fastest I've seen from home. Check that, second run and I've just got 17.28 Mbps!!! That's FAR better than I've ever had before!

Network Signal Info still only says either HSDPA at 7.2 or H+ at 21.6 though

Now I just need to figure how I can apply the 1.29.206.11 OTA. I think I need to go back to stock recovery to apply it, then I hope I can come back to CWM and then root...
