Testing pBa 1.5

About pBar 1.5

In Qtek s200 with WM5, wifi on/off is not working; telephone and bluetooth, sometimes sometimes work, sometimes not...

The other options are OK.

Thank you a lot for this great work, nncuong!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iiiox:
i'm second to this^^"

NEAT is probably the most adventage for pBar; anything makes it bigger without practical purpose might "assimilate" pBar to all other similar apps.

Simplicity as well is what makes pBar very attractive; two lines of tiny colorful icons might make pBar less visually compatible with various today themes.

--------------------------------------

I love pBar. pBar 1.5 is especially wonderful. the 'ok' problem is virtually solved by adding a link to the setting page of memory where every application can be terminated.

Thanks very very much! wait impatiently for the final release!

--------------------------------------

for whom thought the wifi on/off doesn't work: run Commmanager to activate wifi first, then try the funtionality of wifi-on-off of pBar again^^"

Would you please release a "Lite Version" without "Running Programs Shortcut" & "Remove Programs Shortcut" ?

Or more less Shortcut (remove some shortcut like WiFi/BT) and mono icons ? Please!

There's some report shows some shortcut con't working. Lite version can remove they and the program can be more slim.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mikhe69:
I don't know why but when I use this app my WM6 Trinity became unusable, everything becomes so slow.

i already checked CPU usage but found no issue.

I love this little app, but like this I cannot use it:( :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] steveweb:
Ok, the 1.5 version is more heavy than previuos release... but it's faster almost 2 or 3 times than before. I could tap on the top right corner and pBar appears immediatly.

Yes... maybe the colour icons, the shortcuts and the memory and battery status arent necessary... (we have many other software does this).

Maybe a lite version would be great... but I dont know if nncuong has time to develop another version.

By the way, pBar, is a great and must have software.

bye

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wizzzard:
I'm loving the new 1.5, as others have said it is much faster to respond to taps and presses. For me the coloured icons are clearer to read and worth the larger exe. A massive thanks to the Author.

I have one feature request, would it be possible to put a 2g/3g toggle with the other radio toggles. It could replace the Home icon which is redundant in my opinion as the hardware hang up button is the quickest way to the Today screen.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Same here on my WM6 Glofiish X500+ (vga). Whole machine grinds to almost a halt. Can't do anything. Had to revert to 1.4. Suggestions anyone?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nncuong:
You can use 1.1 lite, no icon but only 10kb. If use upx, it's 5kb

Thank you for your instantaneous response again

BTW, i think pBar 1.1 is also a beauty to try^^ could you please be kind enough to upload it here as well for all of pBar's fans to experience or collect it^^?

Wow!! how kind!! thank you very very very much!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chompy18:
After a few days of usage, 99% of what I can say about 1.5 is good if not great. It's very very stable, it actually made my HTC Trinity faster, battery life longer and bigger storage space, since it replaced 4 apps I had installed to do the same thing. Simply amazing.

It's light wight, dosen't consume resources and very fast. As soon as I press the mapped button, the popup menu is there. Very responsive.

I don't mind the colored buttons, though I too would prefer the B&W ones.

There are a few minir bugs I noticed though:

1. When using the Dpad to go over the bottom buttons from left to right (shut down, restart, etc) it does not go all the way and after the add shortcut button it goes back to the beggining. From right to left it works perfectly... Strange...

2. When trying to add a shortcut, it sometimes works and sometimes not, I'm not sure why since I wasn't able to pinpoint the exact circumstances.

besides that, I only have a few requests:

1. Please add the option to close running apps from the popup menu - the two ways I can think of are selecting the running app using the Dpad and then a. pressing right to close it or b. being able to select the "X" with the Dpad and selecting it to close. This alone would make this app perfect.

2. Please add the functionality to re-order the shortcuts. Currently we can only remove added shortcuts. This is only cosmetic and not that important to have.

Thanks a lot for all the hard work you put into creating this app. Your hard work is evident in the great quality product to created. keep up the great work! ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nncuong:
Yes. I'll fix in next version. Thank you

good soft, but i can't add favorites.:(

(using e dell x51v wm5)

Any idea ?

Thanx for your reply.:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
indeed, this is strange. i have it too.

(btw, please, old icooons..)...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chompy18:
How did you try to add favorites?

The proper way to do it, is run the app you want as favorite, and while in it execute pbar and from the popup select the icon to add favorite. That should add the app to the favorites.

pBar 1.5 refreshing problem

First

Thank you for a great program.

I have an ipaq hx4705 running on WM5. I have Pbar loaded in main memory. When I close the last of multiple running programs or the only running program the pbar task manager does not refresh at all it just stays hung up. I have to tap on the pbar activation button in the taskbar so that it can refresh properly. Then and only then the program refreshes properly and then shows no running programs. I tried soft resets and still have this issue.

The phone and bluetooth buttons do not work for me either. Are these known issues. Everything else works well.

Would you consider having an option to place the activation button of pbar on the far left of the taskbar or an option to make it movable in the taskbar? This would really be appreciated.

Can you look into these issues and request for the next release if possible for me please? Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] grit:
you are amazing!

nccong is among the few in this world bringing people real values but free of charge.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chompy18:
Found a couple more:

1. When selecting the battery icon with the dpad, the SMS ?/? numbers disappear, only to appear again when you deselect the battery icon.

2. Sometimes, the system clock changes from HH:mm:ss to hh:mm:ss:tt. This didn't happen before I installed pbar, so it's most likely the cause.

Any chances those will get fixed for next ver.?

Thanks ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Noonski:
Running great.

So have you thought about pointing the close down option to the original PowerOffWarning.exe?

Or is it pointing to another Native App, that can be replaced byt psShutXP?

Sorry for no English site.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mccune:
Great work. Just tried your Beta2.

There is a small bug. When you press the D-Pad to the left on the lower part of the program it swithes between all options. But when you press D-Pad right to switch between the options on the bottom bar it skips the last two options: Close Program and Remove Programs.

Using this program on my Treo 750. Don't know if anybody else has the same problem.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nncuong:
I've fixed it in beta 2. Some fixed in 1.5 beta2:

- Fixed number of Toolbar button to 9 (Use right d-pad move to Close Program and Remove Programs)

- Fixed Date format in Option.

- Fixed Close with some programs: Sim Manager, Comm Manager,...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iiiox:
thank you very much! trying it!

updated: as fast and responsive as beta 1^^" other than the unidentifiable favorate icons after soft-reset, and the failure to move favorat items on the setting page up and down, everything works great!

This version, 1.5beta2 of 28 Oct is not working at all for me on my Glofiish X500+ (VGA, WM6). I get the triangle on the top bar, but it does nothing. After poking around a few minutes the whole machine hangs.

I installed it in main memory (not SD). I had to go back to 1.4. Is there any data I can provide to help diagnose the problem?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nuropa:
Great program, one problem I noticed that others have mentioned but i do not see a solution. Some programs put [OK] button where [X] is on the top right corner, the result is if you click on the OK button, instead of returning to the program, it will either minimize or close the program depend on the [X] button setting. I'd like to see an option to remove change to [X] button, so only the drop down triangle will be used to manage programs and that's really all I need.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] indrastrid:
(sorry my english not good)

maybe i miss something, but i used ROM with pBar 1.4 too

and has no problem to remove it and upgrade to 1.5.

once again, sorry maybe i miss somethings ...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ujr:
Hi,

thanks for this great app!

FWIW, I'm observing this:

as well.

Haven't been able to reproduce it intentionally. However, it happens every now and then if working or "playing" with pBar. Normally I notice it probably some time after it actually happened - every time I check when doing things all is well... BTW, this is not new with 1.5Beta, I had it with 1.4 too.

Another little, cosmetical bug: if I set the date format to, say, dd.MM. (note the trailing dot), this works but isn't correctly set after restart.

Finally a suggestion: would it be possible to omit the phone icon if the device isn't a phone but an ordinary ppc?

Regards
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chompy18:
Aye, the clock settings changed is still happening in 1.5b2.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zaidam:
Great software. I used it but the issue is signal strength and volume icon on top of the PPC screen was covered by the clock & date. How can I resolve this issue. I need the date & clock on top bar. This is meaningful for me.

P.S: I've made a strong recommendation of this software in my blog as well as PPCSG News.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vicott:
Found a little bug, but not really so annoying. Whenever, there are background applications which cannot be exited, there will be problems with the menu.

1) Open Start Menu=>Programs or the default Phone application.

2) Go to today screen.

3) Tap & hold on the "X" button area for menu to popup.

4) Tap on the same point again.

5) Screen switches to Programs or Phone application, which is unexpected.

6) Exit Programs or Phone application to go back to today screen.

7) Sometimes, the softkeys for the Phone application has overridden/overlapped (went on top of) those on the today screen. This is also unexpected.

Nevertheless, this application is still my favorite task manager at the moment.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] digifan:
Good Tool

Thx.....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] woo:
Great task manager. Thanks.

The OK button does not work properly if I set Tap [X] button to Minimize instead of the default Close.

1. Set Tap [X] button to Minimize.

2. Tap on Start -> Programs -> Games

3. Tap on "ok" button

4. Instead of closing Games folder and returning to Programs folder, Programs folder is minimized.

Using this on Artemis and realise that in landscape, the battery indicator length is the same as in portrait mode. Don't know if it is only with my device. Otherwise no big isues with mine.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vicott:
This is what you have to do:

1) Run a program. Do not minimise/close it.

2) Launch pBar menu.

3) Click on the 2nd last icon from the right at the bottom.

4) Voila! The current (active) application has been added to Favorites list.

Assign to hardware button

nncuong - Thanks for making a great application, the best that I have tried so far. I was wondering if there is any way you can assign the "smartclose" function to a hardware button, such as by passing a command line option etc. At the moment, if I assign pbar to a hardware button, it just brings up the menu.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ngkchome:

Thanks.

thank uuuuuu

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eshaham:
Great software, I've been looking for something like this for a long time.

- It would be nice to have the ability to change the order in which the favorites appear.

- It would be nice to be able to hide certain programs (some kind of exception list that doesn't show programs like ActiveSync) in the list at all.

Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nncuong:
It has Close All button.

Has some bug:

- incompatible with WM2005 AKU 2.0.

- Minimize Today Desk top.

I'll update in next version
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] panzer:
thanks. good job...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mzpx:
one more request

Thanks for the software, it is really nice.

I second the request for configurable date format.

Also please consider how the rotation works. Right now it seems like every time I press 'rotate screen' it goes to the NEXT position, e.g. from portrait to right side landscape then to left side landscape and then back to portrait.

It would be nice if the 'rotate' would toggle back and forth between portrait and landscape and the side (left or right) would be a configurable option.

Even without those, it is really useful.

Thanks,

MZPX
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nncuong:
More Option in next version

I'll add some Option in next version:

- Option Date format: dd/MM , MM/dd, dd.MM, MM.dd

- More option for Favorite: Can change Order, Icon...

Love it!

Seems really solid so far, but just installed it. Only one minor suggestion, the stacked indicator (time/batt life) seems to replace the background image with a solid color (so my shading on the theme goes away under the time/%). Also, this thing seems to lie on top of my speaker (volume icon)..., can that be fixed?

Hello, i have a similar problem with the application handyshopper. When editing details of a item the "ok" buton should just close the detail form. However, it minimize also the application...

Moreover, the little arrow to open the popup menu is overlaping the time display (the system one, not the pbar one) on the menu bar

Any suggestion ?

Problem with GSFinder+

Hey there,

Love your program, but am having a little issue with GSFinder+ (a file manager program), or rather the way pBar 1.4 handles it.

If I open GSFinder+, I can close it with pBar - no problem

BUT

If I open GSFinder+, then double-click on a file which is associated with another program (for example, PocketRAR for a ZIP file), clicking pBar's 'X' button to close the ZIP program will actually close GSFinder+ and leave the ZIP program open!!

This behaviour occurs with other files types, not just with PocketRAR.

I have searched, but found no solutions.

Maybe this could be fixed for final release of v1.5?

Thanks so much for this wonderful program!!!

Hides the volume icon and part of the signal strength icon!

I love this app and have very high regard for the developer for making things easy for us. I am using Windows Mobile 6 on a Cingular 8525.

I think I screwed up! I started the app WITHOUT disabling the HTC X button app. Maybe that is why my signal strength and volume icon hid behind the pbar. Then I went ahead and deleted pbar.exe, deleted pbar from the registry and even disabled the HTC app. But my signal strength and volume icons are still hidden.

I know there are some great experts on this forum. Please advise- I am mute and bar-less. :)
