Uhmmm... can't remember actually, it was the version you posted on page 37. By the way: I use Push Mail, and I have never used the 'close idle connections'-feature.

Oh and if you need beta testers for CommMgrPro: I'll be happy to assist!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
hehe thanks.....Very soon you will be needed.....:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Good news

Good news.

Why? Finally I am able to generate the problem in my device. I ve disabled push mail ,activated "Close idle connections." and mail refresh each 10 minutes. At the beginning all worked ok. But when bandswith closed the connection number 16 then It was imposible to reconnect until soft reset. By now I dont know why It happens. Maybe windows doesnt like too many "manual hangs up". But the good new is now that I can isolate the problem I will fix it (i hope).

Greetings
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mikkelnl:
Good luck :) Still seems weird, because my situation is opposite to the one you described... I don't use the Close-Idle-Connections-feature, and I use Push Mail all the time... :confused:

Anyways: good luck again ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi mikkelnl. Do you hava problems with V1.1.9? (not v1.1.9b)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mikkelnl:
Can't remember, but I'll install 1.1.9. right now and let you know a.s.a.p.!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] weinson:
I too was having issues.. just installed 1.1.9 and I will report back. Thanks for staying on top of this.

One question ... what is supposed to happen when I choose "Check Update" .. I can not readily see what is happening (button lights up, but that is all)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
It invokes a servlet on a server, that was down (Thanks weison) that returns the last version so Bandswith knows if it is the latest version or no. Now works again. The check lasts 5 or 6 seconds...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] weinson:
Now it is working!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Please, those who has problems, could you post your aku and radio version? I am doing exactly what some of you are telling me by mail for trying to see the error and I have only seen it once in the morning......I have rom 2.05 and radio rom 1.18
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi again. I ve removed a issue included in V1.1.8. It was executed at startup and is related with tapi and maybe is causing your problems. I have uploaded a version without it to www.commmgrpro.com and its V1.1.9c. Its very important if someone with problems could install it. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Some of you with many problems with versions > 1.1.6 have tested 1.1.9c some hours (Thanks Jeremy for your support) and has reported the problem isnt present. I hope It's gone......for ever.

conclusion for developers: Dont call LineOpen (tapi) concurrently,
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] weinson:
So, is 1.1.9(c) going to become 1.20.0?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
If its confirmed that the problem is gone then it will be 1.2.0 and the wish list will be open again.:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] robbiekr:
I tested this program on my P3300 / MDA Compact 3, but I'm not 100% sure if it works because I tried many software apps for what I want.

What I want is basically this:

GPRS off, but when outlook periodically checks my email GPRS should switch on. After this GPRS should swich off again. Many apps I tried could not switch GPRS off when I had not read the email I received. I only use the app for this option, which I believe is called "disconnect when idle".

Please keep developing this nice piece of software!

OK what I note so far:

- I have to start the program twice to see it on my screen

- The time limit for connections does not work correctly. If I set it to disable GPRS from 1 to 6 am it does not work outside this time window too. In the time window I have not been able to check yet.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
1) I dont know if it is your case but when the app is closed you must wait 5 or 6 seconds before start again. Its because really bandswith needs 4 seconds on background to shutdown and if you start the app before then it shutdown simply transfer the control to the previous instance, but it is shutting down so nothing happens.

2) Its strange. Programatic schedule hasnt been modified since 1 month. Now its 23.20 and my schedule is from 00.30 to 07:50 and currently is connected. I ve done other tests a periods seems to work ok here. Does somene noticed the same issue? Have you seen if your connection is disabled in connections screen? Dont forget to press "save" button when you enable/disable or change the schedule
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] armedmetallica:
Using 1.1.9c -- and the connection problem has gone away!

Good job!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] acesgoplaces:
Hi Daniel,

Were you able to resolve this yet?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Theses days I ve been trying to solve the connections problem. Now that i seems solved I will fix the "unknown status" little bug
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] robbiekr:
1) I haven't shut it down before I start it. When I just click on the shortcut it does not pop up. When I click again on the shortcut it does pop up.

2) This night it did not work, I received several emails which cost me some sleep :D

- I have noted another issue, I can't enter my pin, there is no keyboard popping up!

- disconnect if idle does not always work, I set it at 20 seconds but sometimes my connection lasts for a few hours, any clue why this is?

Do you have other P3300 testers for your program? If it functions it is great software!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi robbiekr.

First of all thanks for testing bandswith :D

The problem is bandswith was designed to work in HTC tynt, HTC trynity and HTC Universal. I downt own a p3300 so I cant fix the problems in this device. Do you want to send me one? :D hehe
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi. V1.1.9d ready (http://www.commmgrpro.com/).

Sim Status Unknown Window removed.

Greetings
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mikkelnl:
I'm going to give this a try ;) I'll let you know it this works!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Ok, Dont forget to enter the sim pin again after reinstall.....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mikkelnl:
Hehehe, after forgetting that the last 5 times, I won't ever again ;) ;)

Anyways: just did some tests, and it still works. I tried switching grps > umts > gprs... Worked fine. And the programmatic-feature (which started the problem with prior versions) works (for now, I will try again later today).

Great work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] robbiekr:
hehe you're welcome.

My P3300 is also a HTC, so maybe it's nice to make it compatible for this device too.

Maybe the time limit doesn't work because the clock function of WM5 really buggy. I will keep testing your program and hope for nice updates :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Time limit function and Close idle connections are based in Windows System queue notifications based on time. You know there is (or there was) a well known microsoft bug in this system. The bug was caused when there was a lot of notifications (> 200 or so) and produced than programs time notification based didnt work properly. Because of it was borned great utilities like "CheckNotifications" or Memmaid. I use memmaid quickclean at startup to clean this queue. When this queue is full of notifications this system doesnt work correctly (alarms doesnt works correctly, PI events, and so). So for the correct operation of BandSwitch (and the incoming Comm Mgr Pro) is essential to keep this queue clean. Maybe your problems are related with this issue (or maybe not) :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] andreasfuntastic:
Hi Daniel,

I installed your great program vers. 1.5 one month ago.to storage card. It really helped to save batterylive. I used programatic to disable connections during the night from 00h to 07h and iddle conn. after 60 sec. Do not use your sim pin function.

I am polling mails every 60 min.(not pushing mails).

My problem: suddenly the standby bug apeared (charging over night and tytn don't wake up). I learned from this forum not to install app. which apeare on todayscreen on storagecard.

Bandswith icon is on the bottom program tray,

so I thought your prog. could be the reason for this bug and uninstalled and inst. back to mainmemory.

This was a big mistake!

Now my device is messed up.

Programatic not working,

SPB gprs monitor not showing correct data,

after each softreset device try to connect (only shortly for 3 sec.),

hardwarebutton for messaging not working

Tryed to uninst./inst several times but only hardreset helped at the end.

Read in this thread that later versions than 1.5 make some problems so I did not dare to install vers.1.9.

What do you think:

Can bandswitch cause the standby bug when installed to storage card?

I do not need the features of the later versions than added in vers. 1.5, is vers. 1.5 bugfree?

How to uninstall correctly? I thing that when uninstall (switch off bandswitch, wait 10 sec, uninstall) still some settings remain.

My Tytn has Rom 1.18.257.2 and Radio 1.03.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi.

I dont really think Bandswith can cause those problems. Bandswitch had a bug in versions v1.1.7 to v.1.1.9. But Its solved in v1.1.9c and 1.1.9d. The bug caused problems to stablish RAS connections because of concurrent use of TAPI manager. But that's all. Bandswith doesnt modify registry data except "enabled" field. I dont know what kind of problems you are having but I recoment you to delete all your connections, reset device and set up again your connections. And if you want to install Bandswith choose v1.1.9d. No problems have been reported until now so It seems the bug is gone. Anyway the bug(or functionality documented but not supported by windows mobile) couldnt generate those problem, sure.

Good luck and contact me if i can help you to solve your problem

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BigBen:
@andreas

I may be wrong, but I have recollection that the application should be installed to the device, not the storage card. A search of the thread may show that.

Ben
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] robbiekr:
Ok I now use memmaid, thanks for the tip!

I also installed version 1,9d of your software, on my device instead of on my storage card. Let's wait and see what the night brings
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] robbiekr:
hmm, is there any possibility I can download a stable earlier version which has gprs idle function and timer?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] patatmeister:
I searched but didn't find anything yet ... hope I'm not wrong ...

Have it installed on my TyTn .... works like a charm ... did somebody already installed it on the XDA-live WM6 roms?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] research12:
Yes I did and it works perfectly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] barrr:
1.1.9d fixed the problems. I also updated my Radio to 1.27. My GPRS connection does not fail anymore and I can leave Bandwidth program installed on my TYTN.

Thanks Daniel.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Applestar:
Ok, I had some issues with Bandswitch 1.17 - Second GPRS connection establishing after a reset would not work.

Now with 1.19d no problems. System: WM6 (XDA-live 0.10) & 1.27 radio ROM.

and no freezes since 96 hours heavy use. AFAIK its the SD card reading that could stop your device from waking up.

Finally a stable & fast device :)

Daniel, what about beta-testing the CommMgr? ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Nice to ear the problem finally is gone.

I am in the last steps of the developtment of the first version of Comm Mgr Pro. Its nice to see how the program recognices your favourites places and set the states bluetooth(off, connectable, discoverable), wifi (on-off), sound(mute-vibrate-on), phone(on-off), connections(disabled, disconnected, connected), band (3G, 2G, auto) depending on where you are and what time is it (diferent time frames for each place). Very soon there will be a beta version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] barrr:
looks sweet Daniel. Can't wait to try it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mikkelnl:
Sounds great Daniel! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] armedmetallica:
sweet!

Looks very very nice. you rock!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sassenach74:
I presume closing of idle connections will not be implemented into this again?

I intened to try this neat little program out, but idle connection closing would have been my main reason for that, since i dont always remember to close my active connection, which really is the biggest problem for battery drain issues is it not?

Neil.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] acesgoplaces:
Excellent daniel. I don't get the pop up any more. Nice work!

Let me know when you need beta testers for your CommMgrPro app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Its implemented in the latest version (1.1.9d)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Sure :D .............
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Applestar:
Daniel,

forgot why we are all here? ;) Location & time are great triggers, but you probably need at least one more trigger: AC/DC = Is the device on battery or in the cradle/connected to the power cord. I would love to be able to switch on bluetooth, WiFi or 3G the moment I know my battery will not drain to zero in an hour. What do you think?

One little issue: I realized that sometimes I need two times of switching to 3G (UMTS) with Bandswitch to get the connection to work. Could it be a problem with WM6 and caching the the registry settings? The device will not connect the first time, will connect for sure the second time I choose UMTS. Version1.1.9d.

Regards,

Apple*
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi Apple. Very very interesting suggestion ¡¡. I will be included in the first version of Comm Mgr Pro.

I didnt notice what you tell about "second time in umts" but I am using rom 1.35. Anyway I will install WM6 XDA 0.20 very soon (tomorrow, isnt it) and will test it deeply in that new OS version.

Greetings
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] doul39:
Thank you!

Thanks Daniel, this is a great application and installed perfectly!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Applestar:
Well, I am runnig XDA-live 0.10 / without any problems. Had to install a video-call skin to be able to use video calling again. And I had to put in all Vodafone settings. But since 5 days not a single freeze. And BandSwitch running perfect, except the one issue I mentioned:

AFAIK you change some registry keys and re-start the Radio, right? Probalby there has to be something else to "flush" the new registry settings from cache in WM6. Read about that issue with other threads.

Regards,

Apple*
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi Apple. I was waiting to get other 3G device before flashing WM6 in my TyNT. Anyway, What you tell is true. I do a change in the registry and then I reset the radio hardware. But it's strange because I use api RegistrySetDWORD(...). Microsoft tells about it...."Every time RegistrySetDWORD is called with a string value for the key, the RegOpenKeyEx and RegCloseKey functions are called, so passing a handle instead of a string value can avert a potential performance problem over mutltiple calls" so when I change the registry (It happens only when you switch the band so Its not often) theorycally this method writes the value and close the key, flushing the registry.

Apple I know other simple way to change this value and then flush the registry manually. Would you like the test this way if I post a new cab?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi.

Version 1.1.9e out.

1) Write registry calls are explicitally flushed and closed to ensure its instant persistence.

Someone with WM6 could test it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BigBen:
Wonderful app, Daniel, and great willingness to make fixes and improvements that your "customers" request! Nice job!

Daniel, once in a while, when I "boot" my Cingular 8525 with your 1.09d on it (and perhaps earlier versions), I get a message "Cannot execute banswitch.exe" or words to that effect. I cannot reproduce this error message, and in any case, bandswitch opens on bootup, in spite of the silly error message that my device gives me.

I haven't seen this problem in the thread. If I missed it, my apologies. It's just a minor annoyance. Have you seen this complaint before from someone?

Best regards

Ben
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] robt2379:
Got it installed and testing . . .

Will report back shortly

Rob
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sassenach74:
Am I being daft, cos i can't see where the e version is, first page still says d,

Many thanks, Neil.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
sorry.

As It isnt official I uploaded to www.commmgrpro.com
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
mmm, nop. Have you installed bandwith on Storage Card?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BigBen:
Nope, it's on the device. Let's not worry about it. It hasn't behaved like that today, maybe it is cured :confused: If no one else has seen it, it's unimportant.

Now, last question (for now, ha, ha): Would it be interesting and possible for your program to have an option we could tick if we want to switch automatically from GPRS to HSDPA when we open an internet browser? Presumably, everyone wants to be on HSDPA when they surf the web, right?

Take care, thanks again.

Ben
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Goog suggestion. bandswith could ask you if you want to switch to 3G....

Added to "to-do list"....;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BigBen:
Very cool. Thanks. I won't bug you any more (for a while.)

Saludos atentos.

Ben
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cogi:
hey everyone, i found this site today searching for stuff for my new 8525. this program seems like an awesome app. but i had a questions; since the three functions are auto, umts, or gprs, does that mean that it wont use edge? is it either umts or gprs or does gprs also include the edge network? thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tony.wheeler:
Daniel,

Have seen the same problem on quite a few ocasions but not recently. Simply dismissing the warning led to no noticeable problems. Sorry cannot help any more - I too saw the warnings displayed at boot-up just after a reset.

Regards - and keep up the good work:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] robbiekr:
The connection timer (version 1.1.9d) works with a HTC Artemis as well, the "idle" function also works, but not with the time I entered. Quite strange but at least it shuts down GPRS sometimes.

I keep following this program and hope for nice updates!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi. V1.1.9f out.

There were some problems with HTC Universal and HTC Hermes running WM6 switching the band. I ve done some changes and now it works in those devices and SO.

Tested in :

Tynt with WM5

HTC Universal WM5

HTC Universal WM6

so it should work correctly in hermes wm6. Could someone with hermes Wm6 try it and do the next test?:

1)Switch the band (2g).

2)Stablish connection

3)Switch the band.(3g)

4)Stablish connection

5)Switch the band.(2g)

6)Stablish connection

Greetings
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Fixed universal wm6 hangup and reuploaded
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] slpro:
Hi Daniel! Tried and all went ok!

And by the way, i use this since your first "Connection Manager" for the Universal!

Saludos de Portugal!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LuckeeLou:
Daniel - The app is great.

I have a Cingular 8525 (Hermes) running XDA Live 0.20 on Cingular/AT&T's network.

I am still having problems switching from GSM to UMTS. I have to select UMTS twice for a data connection to initiate. This problem does not exist going from GSM to UMTS.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Glad to hear in runs on WM6. Didn't know 0.20 was out yet...I will probably take the plunge once I am certain all of my "required" apps work. This is one of my required apps so this is GOOD!.

--Mickey
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Applestar:
Well, you menat UTMS to GPRS works, GPRS to UMTS not. Yes, I had the same problems with 1.1.9d/e and WM6 (it was no problem with WM5).

Daniel, sorry for this news: 1.19f does not correct the problem. Its time for you to try XDA-live .010 ;) (cannot speak for .20)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
hehe, yes, I know it. I was waiting for a stable version of XDA-live :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Applestar:
Trust me. It is very stable. No freezes since 6 days. Just make sure you run everything important from RAM :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
other question. I seems each week is released a new version of XDA-live (you know, reinstall everything, bla bla bla). When It has been sheduled next release?:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] acesgoplaces:
Daniel,

Remember the bug when you press ok on the main window that the program does not close but minimizes? The problem is fixed in the main window but when you press ok on the connection page, it minimizes instead of closing the program. Running in the background is the connections page. Same problem with the about page.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Thank you. Fixing....:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Fixed. V1.1.9g out.....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] acesgoplaces:
Thanks mate. Still eagerly awaiting the beta version of your commmgrpro. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
hehe I am 100% concentrated con Comm Mgr Pro... Some screenshots for you:D

Managing places and locations...

Choosing the image for some place...

Creating diferent time frames for a place (my home, :D ) to assing diferent actions depending on the current time.

beautiful dude! just beautiful!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Karl der Käfer:
Hallo Daniel "Blacksmith".

Put your new horseshoes on my trinity as you recommended in private eail. Running very good.

Found the following special issues that might be interesting even for the pro-version:

I have a dual chip (Provider: Movistar Spain). That is, two numbers on one chip that switch by closing fone and giving the other PIN. One is calles "empresa" that's the main no. being a sim on my employers contract, the other is "particular", what is my private phone number, added to the employers SIM.

Problem:

Banswitch only uses one PIN. Could you use 2 pins and apply the correct one according to active line before your pgm activates modifications?

Imagin activated phone line 1.

Bandswitch has the PIN for line 2.

Will it switch my phone "on the go" to line 2?

How often does bandswitch try to reactivate phone when switching? Imagin, I gave bandswitch the an erroneous PIN and I won't care. Could it happen that bandswitch would block my phone until the point of needing PUK to unblock?

Keep on, Daniel, it's a great work you've done.

(how old's your son?)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] skenobi:
Hi Daniel.

First off, thanks heaps for all your hard work on Bandswitch!

But I'm still a little confused.

If I set Time Limit to 5 minutes, and then the "Switch to:" is set to AUTO, what will that do?

What if I had the following settings:

(clicking on the UMTS button)

Time Limit: No Limit

Switch to: AUTO

No SIM PIN (because I disabled the SIM lock)

Close Idle connections: Unticked

If I had the above settings, is this as good as not having Bandswitch at all?

Essentially, I need to have Blackberry Internet Service (BIS) on at least 5 days a week. Occasionally I surf the net, at which point I'll use the UMTS. It would nice to have idle connections turned off automatically, but I use SPB Plus (among other things) to Close Inactive apps anyway (e.g. like PIE) so not much of an issue.

I think BIS is piggybacking on UMTS but I'm not sure.

I'm using a Dopod 838pro.

Can anyone point the way? Is this something your CommMrgPro is more appropriate for?

Thanks in advance, and Cheers!
