Hello Matterhorn,

yes today i feel better ! thanks :)

As soon as there is more time, the screensaver will be enriched hehe

It sounds like 0.03.000 is very closed to release :D

For those using the german provider O2 and want to try HomeZone on Today-Screen: beta-project-site

This does only work in germany !!!

You need at least 0.03.000 from this thread for the HomeZone !!

Any feedback would be nice.

Testing pre5 build 0077

Looking good, only thing i could find is that on the third line, the physical and ram memory values do not update on tap, there is a couple of seconds lag where the wrong value is shown :(

Also over the past few versions i have noticed that the battery drain value does not seem to be reporting correctly, if i overclock the cpu to 260MHz the battery drain value remains exactly the same, this may be normal but i find it a bit strange. Actually the battery drain value does not update very much while operating the device (may be an issue on the Wizard) in an earlier build there was an issue with the wizard displaying a + all the time but the reported drain value seemed more accurate?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] nastassja:
you should go to the windows directory and execute the bsscreensaver manually so that you can press "yes" and agree to the warning.. then it works as a charm :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
hello niall0s,

next build updates this value on tap. I've read somewhere that the batterydriver updates the values each 5 seconds, hence the refreshrate is set to 5 sec, but i'm not sure about that.

You can try setting the refreshrate to 1 second.

Which version was the last reporting accurate values?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] jugulator:
I found the problem! The thing is Battery status only excludes the first number listed on the exclude numbers box! For some reason BS doesnt detect the other numbers. So, if you have more than 1 number to exclude BS chooses the top most number and ignores the others. Ikarus, you may need to look into it. :roll:
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
very good. That's a bug. Thanks a lot ;)

fixed in pre5 build 0079

testing is so important...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] jugulator:
My pleasure 8) Working fine :D

By the way what does this antenna sign and 100% next to it indicate? sorry, I missed it.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Matterhorn:
That's the phone reception signal strength.

Ikarus,

I have been able to get the Calltimes line to be the second line and the battery drain line/signal strength line to be invisible. In this configuration, it is possible to do a quick tap on the battery icon to hide and unhide the calltimes line. I have not been able to do this with the battery drain line/signal strength line. It seems that it is only possible to toggle between 2 lines and 3 lines. It would be nice to be able to hide and unhide the signal strength line in the second position also. I think this worked on a previous version.

Cheers,

Matt

Homezone

Hi Ikarus,

thank you so much for this plugin! I was really looking forward to trying the Homezone extension but unfortunately as of now I can't get it to work.

I downloaded and installed the latest version of BatteryStatus. I also downloaded the Homezone extension and tried starting it from my laptop with my Prophet connected and ActiveSync running. However, the message I get every time is (I know you're German, everyone else please excuse this):

BSEnHZ

Diese Anwendung konnte nicht gestartet werden, da die Anwendungskonfiguration nicht korrekt ist. Zur Problembehebung sollten Sie die Anwendung neu installieren.

Am I doing something wrong? I'd really loooooove to use this feature.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
yes, matt's right. It's signal strength not in db but in %.

I think show/hide of rows worked since the first pre like the last one. But it's a good idea though ;)

--> try pre6

you can hide the last row by tap on the left-most icon of the last row. If there is only one row ( the first one ) visible, then a tap on the left-most icon will show the last hidden one. hm... maybe this is too complex but try it. If it is not good useable, we can look for another solution.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
Re: Homezone

Hello Jayxz,

thanks for your feedback. btw. i'm not german ;)

You did everything right. There could be some reasons for this.

1. (Maybe) You have a virus scanner or any protecting software active which blocks or made BSEnableHomeZone.exe unusesable. You know, virus scanner mostly block any exe downloaded from the net.

If this is the case, then i will move from a exe to another solution.

2. The installer BSEnableHomeZone.exe has problems on your laptop.

Temporary disable virus scanner (if there is one).

Please try using winzip (or any other archive-app) to extract BSEnableHomeZone.exe (it's an self-extracting zip-archive).

This archive contains the extension-dll and an installer.

Go into the folder BSEnableHomeZone and execute BSEnHZ.exe manually.

If the message appears anyway, please make a screenshot from the messagebox (Print-Button, open Windows-Paint, Paste the clipboard, Crop the area, Save as jpeg) and give me :)

I could also provide an executable (or cab) for the device, but i don't know why the installer does not work.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Matterhorn:
Wow, you do fast work! Thanks. That is exactly what I meant. I only need to check the calltimes a few times a week. On the other hand, battery drain is something that I check from time to time just to see if the processor is heavily loaded. It works now, but there isn't a left most icon, it is just open space...it doesn't bother me but I doubt most would find the feature.

Happy rainy Sunday!

Thanks again

Re: Homezone

Oh sorry, didn't know that. So, where are you from then?

Anyway, I did what you instructed me to do but it still ain't working. I tried a lot of things but I can't get it to work. I also used the file you PMed me. Still, the same message box appears every time:

[Message.jpg noframe]
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] RuuDt:
This is the same screen (in English)I always get when I try to update with bsupdate.

I always have to use the cab file.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
Re: Homezone

Not a problem :)

my roots are asian.

I'm afraid, it's visual studios library linking, but you don't have to bother this.

Try updated BSUpdate.exe or load BSEnableHomeZone.exe (from project website) again. I moved back to Visual studio 6 and this worked in the past.

Any feeback would be nice !!

Thanks a lot :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] RuuDt:
I tried to update with the latest bsupdate pre 6, but still get the same message:

BSUpdate.exe

This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Maybe I'm missing some requiered dll files. (Using XP pro SP2)

No big deal though as long as long as there are cabfiles.

I use a wizard and I have the same problem mentioned before by other users. BS always reports 247 mA or another very high value. It doesn't change when I change backlight setting or open a few programs.

Update is set to 1 sec.

All other options work great.

Thanks for your hard work.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
thanks for this report :)

so now i suspect the remote api hehe

Which ActiveSync-Version do you use? <4.0 or >=4.0?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] RuuDt:
ActiveSync 4.1.0 (build 4841)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Jayxz:
Yaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy! It's working! Awesome, now I got that little house on my screen which is exactly what I've been wanting for some months.

Now another question: The icon is white while all the rest of the font on my screen is black. It's not a big problem, but I can't see it quite as well as everything else.

Other than that: You are still the man!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] niall0s:
Have you got a .cab installer for pre 6? The link to the updates has two BSUpdate.0.03.000.pre6.exe files?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
hm.. i guess, it must be something with the library linking.

ActiveSync >4.0 should do...

good hint hehe ;)

the "Häuschen" isn't fontsize-aware and not theme-aware. I must think about a solution, but can not guaranty this for 0.03.000.

indeed, i've touched the wrong button.

cab-file back again :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Marx2:
Hello

i was finally able to activate broadcast messages with location (it's channel 50, the trick was to recieve english channel list, not polish)

Now i'm receiveing those messages in form of SMS. DKToday plugin is able to read them. I've also read on MS webpage that there is API to read those messages and switch in registry to allow read those messages and not display them as SMSes.

So in short are you interested in programming of showing actual location(brodcast message from channel 50) in your plugin?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] the-ti:
@ikarus

Thank you for the great tool. You're fantastik.

I have a quastion:

So i live in germany and all providers have pulsing options it meens that when i call someone and speak with him under 60 seconds so the call will cashed for 60 seconds, after 60 seconds it will be cashed intimately seconds.

Can you try to include a billing option ??

I hope you have understand what im trying to tell.

Billing

60/60

60/10

etc..

Sorry for the bad english

Hi ikarus

I have a bug in Pre 6 to report.

I have set up OnTap: windows\cprog.exe, to bring up the phone when I click on Orange, rather than the default CommManager.

This works fine until I select, On Wakeup: DeviceLock, once this is selected, no OnTap settings will work, CommManager will always startup.

I like the screensaver/devicelock feature but it disables the OnTap feature.

PERFECT ON Qtek 9100

Hi Ikarus,

I have installed the version 0.02.403 of Battery status but i would try your 0.03.000 Pr6 Build 0081.

This version work perfectly on my Qtek 9100 but i would know what can i make in the Lang ?

I try FR for french but it dosen't work.

And i don't understand the indication near the Mobile operator :

D:......, M:.....,

I'm sorry for these questions if you haved often answers.

Thousand thanks for your software.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Nostramo:
Re: PERFECT ON Qtek 9100

Hi poisson

By default, if you have selected the option "show mobile operator", when the signal is unavailable, the plugin shows the word "Unavailable" in your today screen. With the Lang option, you can re-write the word "Unavailable" and the plugin will show it in your own language. (f.e: you could write "Non disponible" or anything else in the Lang option)

D:......, = Day/Daily = Incoming or outcoming calls in the current day.

M:......, = Month/Monthly = same for the current month.

Regards.

Nostramo
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] poisson_rouge5:
Thanks for yours answers.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
great find :)

fixed in --> pre6 build 0083

0.03.000 bugs are getting less and less :D

yes i understand. I'm not sure of implementing this. Actually BatteryStatus can create a logfile with all call-times. An application take this log and a billing-rule-file (depending on provider) as input could show or calculate such things, but i've not enough time for such an app. The xml-file has enough information for doing this.

Maybe i can add such modifications to the calltimes, but at the earliest in versions >0.03.000 ... maybe 0.03.100 hehe

There is also a good hint given by desmoloch, who proposes to overclock automatically when some specific apps were detected (e.g. skype, tomtom, ...). I think this is a great idea. Comments about this?

btw. any user is welcome to answer questions here hehe
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Nostramo:
A really great, great idea.

Perhaps the best solution for that could be the possibility for each user to choose what application overclock and what frequency clock for that application.

Regards.

Nostramo
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] niall0s:
I agree, letting the user choose the app and the speed to overclock to would be a great addition, also having the device set back to default speed when the app is closed is another consideration.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] John-Wu:
hi Ikarus

i would like to test the homezone app, but i cant find the files on your website.

did you take them away now? Where can i download the homezone file?

thank you

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] desmoloch:
if i get time, i will code a little tool to show how much freeminutes (denke mal du hast T-Mobile relax so wie ich? ;)) are left depending on the xml file. I´m familar with handling xml files, so it should be no problem ;)

I talked to Ikarus about the counter for sent sms. If you choose not to store sent sms, batterystatus can´t count them. Microsoft implentet an event for incoming sms, but not for outgoing... I searched the MSDN library for days, maybe i can find a workaround for that.

But i need time... :/

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] stred:
yep i agree,especially in video and games there is a massive difference.i also have to add that i completed a week permanent overclock to 286 with no issue at all.. i think to be on the safe side that 274 is a perfect and reasonable setting. :wink:
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Nostramo:
Test your camera and photos with that settings.

You're making an overclock of almost 35% from the original speed. I think that could be too much for our little machine. Be sure to have an extinguiser near you :P

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
that's bad. i just tried it several times and had no problems.

Actually this message pops up in the final update stage, when some values of the BatteryStatus-Registry-Key are being updated.

You can try disable BatteryStatus by Start/Settings/... and use BSEnableHomeZone.exe again.

Screensaver ( device lock ) Problem

Hello,

I have found a little Bug if use the Screenblanker in BatteryStatusPlugin.

I activate Device Lock . All seem to work fine , but in the Backlight settings page of the Power Settings Control Panel applet, on the "Battery Power" tab, the setting for "Turn off backlight if device is not used for:1 min" resets back down to "10 sec" after the screenblanker comes on .

No matter what I choose, 1 min etc... after the screenblanker comes on , that setting forgets whatever I've previously chosen and goes back to "10 sec."

I comunicate with ikarus, and he has found a solution for the problem .

The Problem is DeviceLock.exe from armstrom (xda-developers).

The screenblanker use DeviceLock .

here you found the solution : (http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=351967#351967),

and it work fine .

Bye Martin
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Jayxz:
I've been playing around with the homezone extension for a couple of days now and I'd really like to hear from other people what they think. Mostly because I have a huge problem. Most of the day I kept the "learn" function enabled while I was moving around through the city by foot, on my bike or in a car. I only switched it off at home or at work where I don't move for several hours.

Now concerning the problem: BatteryStatus displays the home icon all the time, no matter where I am. If I'm at home, at a place where I know I'm not inside my homezone or 100 km away from my homezone: there's still the little icon on the screen. As I said I kept the "learn" function enabled whenever I was moving.

As always my question now is: am I doing something wrong? That's why I'd also like to hear from others if their extension is working.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
yes the experience of user are also of intereset to me.

there is now build 0085 with better integration of the extension.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] nighty:
i use

- SPB GPRS Monitor

- SPB Pocket Plus

- SPB Time

- SPB Backup

- Chi-Tai Dang TD-Plugin Battery Satuts

- Navigon|5 v5.2.6

- Lightning Network Scan Tool's

i have no problems with one of this aplications. in combination with the Plugin from ikarus.

i tested this afternoon with GPS navigation, blethooth/cable headset, sms, mms, e-mail, WLAN, Edge, network scanning.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] John-Wu:

what else can i do?

I wonder if its possible to include an feature to view the "cpu" temperature?

xBar claims to do that, but since theres no demo i cant test it.

It the manual it sais
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Mad2:
Hello,

Last Time i also have some problems . I get the Message "failed to enable/disable Homezone!" . Then i get no fail message but the homezone button isn't preset . I try it 3 or more times , no homezone checkbox . Then i try it once more, and get the message "failed to enable/disable Homezone!" . now I look for the homezone checkbox , it was present . I don't understand it , but the homezone work for me .

Bye Martin
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
i can't reproduce it, so there is not a chance for me to solve this.

I will make a new build today or tomorrow with some improvements to the integration of HomeZone and maybe i can provide a cab-installer for the extension.

btw. can you give details about your operating system version (windows xp/2000, which servicepack), ActiveSync-Version and maybe Firewall-Application?

BatteryStatus will show the battery-temperature in one of the next releases, but it's not the cpu-temp. If you can tell me how to retrieve the cpu-temp, then that's not a big deal...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] John-Wu:
hi,

now i tryed many many times, but always i´ve got the same message :-(

my system ist WinXP with SP2

Firewall is Sygate, ActiveSync version is 4.1

on my XDA Neo: Dopod Rom WWE, no CABs from O2.

Programs installed on my Neo are: PhoneAlarm, Magic Button, Resco Explorer, CoolCamera, TodayAgendar, TomTom..

hope that helps, but it's great if you can make a CAB file for the HomeZone

Thanks

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] niall0s:
I've found a bug

I have the counters set to reset at hour 0 and day 23 (midnight last night)

The incoming sms count did not reset, everything else did

If i click reset in the options this resets the incoming sms count to 0

Also just thought of something, if the reset day is set to 30 what will happen in February?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] stred:
well i first i thought that too,so i tested a lot,like having bt on,wifi on,286 speed,playing games etc etc... with or without charging.. yep it gets warm.. but thats the wifi (highest power setting) not the cpu.. my personal experiance shows that in 286 the cpu works much less cause it completes the various todays tasks in less time..

also video and camera and all these works perfect. :D

also i recommended 274 not 286 for all.. i just share my experience in 286.:wink:

again great job Ikarus! i think its time for version 3.0! :D
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Homer-S:
Hello Ikarus,

I installed Pre6 version and the same bug appeared . I can not change the position of the plugin. It always appears on top of all others.

I know you fixed that problem some pre's before.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
thank you for your information. With this system it should not produce any problems.

I've updated BSEnableHomeZone.exe to show the last error-code. Please download it again and post the error code if any.

Hello niall0s,

great great :) Indeed the line to reset incoming sms count was commented out. Don't know why. fixed in -----> pre7 (maybe the release candidate)

Very good thought ;)

Also this is resprected in the formula.

thank you for share your experience :)

whereby 286 is really much hehe (almost 100MHz upon the original cpuspeed)

Yes pre7 is considered rc1...

less bugs reported this week.

Hello Homer-S,

yes from BatteryStatus-View it is fixed. This happens when two plugins sits on the same order number, mostly caused by a fixed order number given in the cab-file for installation.

Hence BatteryStatus has no order number given in the cab anymore. The operating system gives BatteryStatus an order number on its own. So i can't do anymore about that.

Did you installed another plugin afterwards?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] niall0s:
Testing pre7

My observations

The battery brain value does not seem to be updating or displaying the values correctly. For example, the value when idle is 42mA (battery 50%). I turn on Wi-Fi with power save mode set to best performance and connect to my wireless lan, leave for 30 seconds and the value still reads 42mA (battery 50%). Now i overclock to 260MHz, leave for another 30 seconds and value is still 42mA (battery 50%). Now i launch skype and make a call, value still 42mA (battery 50%). Now i shutdown skype, set clock speed back to 195MHz and turn off Wi-Fi, the value now reads 100mA (battery 45%), leave for 30 seconds and it changes to 76mA (battery 43%). 5 Minuites later back to 42mA (battery 42%).

This is also apparent when the battery is charged to 100%, the drain value is always very high (120-240mA) and only changes after a soft reset until the battery goes to 99% then it drops to the standard idle on my device 42mA.

What seems to be happening is the battery brain value only changes when the % charge in the battery changes.

GPRS data value is not correct, i have done multiple tests using both Spb GPRS Monitor and comparing to my billing online, battery status value is always much more than the actual amount of data being used. Spb reports the values much more accurately.

Still love this plugin tho, keep up the great work ikarus
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Nostramo:
Right, stred !!

I see you've tested all kind of options/combinations. So, tell us about possible unexpected resets, hangs or malfunctions with that settings.

And, most important of all: what's about the battery drain? How much could that settings reduce the battery capacity since it's completely charged? (may be you could post values in mA or total time of use in one charge, or whatever thing you think important/significative).

Regards.

Nostramo
