Hi karl.

The boy of the picture is my godchild. My first daughter will be born on August. :D

Banswitch tries to unlock the phone once if it is blocked (and only one). Maybe I could let enter two pin codes and i will try to unlock the phone with botch codes. Only two tries so no PUK needed....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi. I dont know if I understood your question correctly but I will try to answer you. If you press UMTS button and then time "No limit" then bandswitch wont switch back to GPRS. If you select "switch to auto" and you switch to UMTS chosing time limit(1, 5, 30 min....) then bandswitch will switch to Auto mode when the period expires. In this mode (auto) the radio hardware tries to attach UMTS band but if there isnt coverage then It switches to GSM band automatically. If you are using any push mail technology (Direct push, blackberry..Its may situation) then dont select "Close idle connection" because it will close your connections because of the very low data traffic. I recomend you to select GSM mode and when you want to surf the net switch to UMTS for some minutes.

Comm Mgr Pro (latest days of V1.0 developement stage) lets you schedule the behaviour of your device (connections, band, bluetooth, wifi, phone on-off....) depending on your current location and let you define frames of time for each place. In this way you can say..."If I am at job and current time is from 09:00 to 17:00) then stay in 3G, bluetooth on,..., but after then switch band to 2G and set vibrate mode". Or, for example, If I am at home then turn off all the communications from 23:00 to 07:00 and then It begins a new time frame and I want a mp3 song wakes me up and all the communications capabilites ON and send automatically a mail to my boss saying I am going to the office.:D

Hallo Daniel

I think it should be the following way: check which line is active, say 1 or 2, or perhaps /w and /m (work and private mobile), reset phone unsing the corresponding PIN.

In my registry I found that there is also a /H for home. No idea ...

Here what I found. It could be interesting for you in order to find out which line is active.

hklm\software\oem\simmmgr\ contains the following items:

Home_Tel_Flag = 0x1

Home_Tel_MArk = /H

Mobile_Tel_Flag = 0x1

Mobile_Tel_Mark = /M

OwnNo_Record1 = Voice Line 1

OwnNo_Record2 = Voice Line 2

OwnNo_Record3 = Data

OwnNo_Record4 = Fax

Worl_Tel_Flag 0x1

Work_Tel_Mark /W

If you'd needed more specific data, let me know. If you feel it's off topic here, you've my private mail.

Bye, Ralf

P.D.: crossing the fingers for your daughter. Mine is 3 1/2 and if I don't put away my ppc at time ... Most important function for her: notes for sketch drawings.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi Karl. Those are exactly my registry settings but I only own one line. Let some time to research what Windows API is available (or hidden) to manage this situation because I havent found it until now.

PD. Try this for your daughter. I will try it ;)

Hermes and WM6 bug

Finally I installed WM6 and I could see the problem that many of you reported:

When you switch from GSM to UMTS It is done correctly but you cannot connect. You have to switch again to UMTS to be able to stablish connections. I ve tried to do anything. I unassambled CommMgr.exe (and, hehe, it doesnt use tapi but ril). Finally tried to switch using classic way. This is, go to phone, settings, band....and surprise¡¡ This way doesnt work too ¡¡¡. So official microsoft way to switch from GSM to UMTS needs to be done twice to connect. So It seems a WM6 bug or radio hardware oem driver bug or bad integration between those. Probably (I hope) this problem will be solved if HTC releases WM6 for Hermes officially. In the mean time I will spend a little more of time trying to find a direct way to solve it but if I dont find it I will release a version with a way I know works: When switching GPRS -> UMTS reset the radio twice. I ve tested and works.:D

Greetings....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
HI.

V1.2 out.

Now switching fro GSM to UMTS in Hermes-WM6 works. So not need to switch twice. Now it takes 5 or 6 seconds more for switching bands so be patient. I hope this WM6 bug will be fixed when HTC releases an WM6 official Rom.

Greetings.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] OdeeanRDeathshead:
I have been too lazy to try your program until now. It is great, I was getting so tired of switching with all the taps in settings. Today I changed sims and it forced my band tab to hide. Instead of wasting my time with the tab I just downloaded your app and everything is good.

Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SANDMAN1080:
Awesome!

I was pulling my hair out with the switch back to umts. Thanks for the fix...and more importantly the terrific tool! I look forward to giving Com Manager Pro a try when it is available!!

Good luck with the Baby-on-the-way. How can I shoot you a pay pal donation?

I'm sure it is stated earlier...but I am tired of searching for anything. XDA's forums are consuming me! Besides it will be good to have the info for others to see further down in the thread!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
hehe, thanks. First beta of Comm Mgr Pro will be ready in one or two weeks.

You can donate in my paypal account ( herrero_daniel@hotmail.com ) :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Karl der Käfer:
Hallo Daniel,

Pa' ké te digo ké significa Herrero ... mejor mirar antes de donde eres ... hahaha Saludiños desde ourense ;-)

just to repeat it: your fantastic.

Question: double refresh only for WM6?

Do you check device and OS-Version before switching twice or does the pgm double swicht generally from now on?

As I'll stay with WM5 (still) I'd apreciate quick-simple-once-switch to UMTS.

I think I'll have to "echar un ojo" to the pay-pal ...

Best regards

Ralf (if you like keep on calling me Karl).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
hehe, HI Karl....I mean Ralf :D . If your re going to stay with WM5 then keep on v1.1.9g because this version needs less time for switching UMTS bacause It switches once, not twice.....

Greetings (Saludetes desde Madrid....)

first paypaldonation in my life done. Give me a short recibí. Go and buy a rattle and some sweet for the future mammy ;-)

off topic: Can you recommend a rom for WM6 and GPS for trinity in spain?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
I ve just received your gift. Thanks :D

I havent a trinity but a friend is going to let me its trinity for testing Comm Mgr Pro so I will give you my opinion very soon....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LuckeeLou:
I installed version 1.2 and it works perfectly. Great work Daniel.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ghawi:
Please help.... I am very inexperienced and new to this... How do you install it? I have HTC8525 by cingular. Sim and CID unlocked, running WM5. I downloaded the files Ver. 1.2 to a file on my PC. Thats all I did so far.

Like I said, I am not experienced at all with this but i would love to learn.

Thanks to everyone here... You guys are the best.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi ghawi.

If you are using WM5 download previous version here

http://commmgrpro.com/db5/0045/commmgrpro.com/_download/BandSwitch.V1.1.9g.CAB

V1.2 fixes a Hermes-WM6 bug but swithes from GSM to UMTS are done twice so more time is needed.

Simply copy the cab to the device. Using file explorer (in the pda) execute this cab. Finally resets your device. Thats all...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Matterhorn:
Daniel,

Thanks for the great app it seems to be working ok on my Trinity so far. I did have to change my gprs setup from My Work to My ISP for some reason. I tried to load the above version since I'm using WM5, but the link seems to be broken.

I have a question for you...My Trinity works in UMTS including HSDPA. Unfortunately, when I'm using data in 3G, which switches to HSDPA, I can not receive calls, it just gets forwarded to voicemail. If I use HTweakC to disable HSDPA and just use normal 3G, I can receive calls with no problems. I think it might be a problem with my Swiss network. Have you heard of issues like this with HSDPA with the Hermes?

Thanks,

Matt
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ghawi:
Daniel, Thank you very much for the help. I do appreciate it. I have installed it successfully ( I think) I got the "A" at the bottom tray. When clicked a screen opens. Please pardon my ignorance; What does it mean in the connection tab, My ISP GPRS is green in both Enabled and Status, and red in Cingular GPRS, both for Enabled and Status? I have WiFi for all the house. I guess I do not understand GPRS...If I shut off Cingular GPRS ( I assume I click on the green box to turn red), would that be sufficient to avoid Cingular connection charges? Please bear with me... again thanks for all the help.. rest assured on my next pay check I will donate some. Your time is valuable.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi.

Sometimes if my device is connected and transfering data and in this moment someone calls me then I get a miss call for phone off. I think It is a operator network issue....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
HI.

If "Enabled" red: This connections isnt availabe for any application. Set this mode if you dont want any program uses this connection.

If "Enabled" green: This connecitons is available for all the applications.

if "Status" red: This connection isnt stablished

if "Status" green: This connection is stablished

Hope it helps.....:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Matterhorn:
Daniel,

I have setup your app and input my SIM pin number. Thanks again, it is working great. I know this is a Hermes forum, but I thought that I'd let you know that on my Trinity the virtual keyboard didn't pop up when I tried to input the pin. I had to trick it by opening up notepad and then switch back to get it in. I guess it would be the same issue for all devices without a hard keyboard.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Thanks Matterhorn. Added in to-do list......
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Applestar:
Can confirm the SIM-PIN keyboard issue since early versions. No problem on a Hermes with hardware keyboard :)

WM6 and 1.2 working fine, GRPS to UMTS (2x) does work. Daniel, probably you should just offer 2 installers: 1.2-WM5.cab and 1.2-WM6.cab Same for CommMgr Pro..

Well, just being curious, how many donations did you get so far?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Yes. GSM to UMTS switch would be the only diferent thing so maybe I only do onw version that recognizes SO version.

8 donations apple....:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Karl der Käfer:
Olé, frío que pela en Madrid, I was told.

Daniel, after days of much travelling and working with the trinity and 1.1.9g I found following issues. Might might be special for my 2 phone lines SIM or not:

Switching over from one line to the other, on the next activity of bandswitch it comes back to the first line, obviously for having the first line's PIN in bandswitch or just got stuck and I had to soft-reset until investigating more.

Then before changing line I tried to change the PIN in bandswitch.The result was that after checking off and on the phone in Comm Manager (WM5 original), the phone stayed stuck without conection. I could check several times phone on, but it always returned to off. After some tries I found that configuration\personal\Telephone came up with the PIN-check instead of the configuration screen.

So I tried by erasing the introduced PIN first then deactivating it (close). Strange efects: after phone off/on by Comm Manager, as before, and looking for the PIN-screen in configuration\telephone. I used line 2's PIN and started band switch again and found that there where 4 asteriscs where I deleted the PIN before. I activated GSM and observed phone reset's caracteristic icons in header line and then checked which line was active: Surprise, surprise, the phone went back to line 1.

¿With a PIN stored, which action exactly forces bandswitch to save the change or deletion of the PIN?

¿Could you give us a "save" button in your main screen too?

¿Could you bring to front screen (eventually together with a beep) the PIN screen if it's not succesfully terminated by bandswitch?

¿Could you find a way to save 2 PINs for 2 lines? (remember, the SIM distinguishes the lines only by using its respective PIN)

I'm really concerned about all this for tree reasons:

- business data costs in my private invoice

- private calls on my employers phone bill

- phone inactive without knowing

Vodaphone also uses 2-line SIMs and promotes Hermes for "autónomos". Perhaps you might have an opportunity to get a 2-line-SIM to test.

If you where able to resolve this, your future daughter shall have an extra gift.

Regards

Ralf

Last version 2007-03-44 13:45(V1.2.1)

Hi. New version ready.

Changes in 1.2.1:

Buffer overrun bug in devices with very long radio manufacturer name (caused bandswitch fall).

Bandswith now detects if is running on WM5 or WM6 so now only switch twice if switching from GSM to UMTS band in WM6 devices. So now one only version for WM5 and WM6

Dual line support with two pin codes.

If the password(s) is/are incorrect the device will sound and vibrate and show Pin Page.

Pin enable user: remember to enter pin(s) again after reinstall.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi Ralf.

I hope V1.2.1 solves your problems. I cant test it in two lines device but it should work. Let me know if It doesnt work.

Save button isnt needed. Being in main page the options are saved when you press any button (hide, close, gsm, umts, .....). Do you really need it?

Best ragards :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hekenberg:
Option window hidden ?

Hello,

I'm using/testing Comm Mgr Pro and more than once the option window disappear/hide.

So when I try to change something nothing happens.

I need to go to "memory" under setting and activate the window.

After that I can change settings again.

Feature or bug ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Bug. Its fixed in v0.9.0.6 that will be out today.

and thanks for testing;)

Its better to discuss about Comm Mgr Pro here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=299070 for no mixing products :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Karl der Käfer:
Hey Daniel,

been between Mad and BCN for several days in hotels without wifi or with prohibitive fees (Catalans...) and at work I had no time for testing tweaks.

I'm happy to read that there is a dual sim support. I'll have a try at once. I'll let ou know.

Yes, I need it. I do not switch only on 22.00 and 8:00 but also occasionally because my employer is looking from time to time my phone bill. One point is that he sholdn't see abusive private use (international calls) but I also do some work for another company and my employer shouldn't find out the phone contacts.

Hi.

Download from www.commmgrpro.com

I recomend you to give a try to Comm Mgr Pro because it has all the bandswitch features and many things more.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joef:
It's so cool!!!! Thanks!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Karl der Käfer:
I installed 1.2.1., then I put both PINs according to dual SIM phone lines, business line as primary PIN, private line as secondary PIN (the main SIM the business line and the private one is the additional number) and finally I activated GSM as default.

I then made a soft reset and put the PIN for the first phone line. The phone activated as desired on the correct line and the correct band.

Switching to UMTS for a limited time, p.e. 5 min. does switch to UMTS correctly.

Issue: After 5 min the tray icon shows "G" but it does not switch back to GMS. The phone shows "UMTS movistar" so it stays with the UMTS band. In my last try it stayed there for 24 hours.

Then I switched back manualy to GMS and it did the switch correctly.

Then I changed the phone to the second line by MS Comm Mgr, switching off and on the phone icon. The phone showed up the PIN introduction screen and accepted PIN for line 2. Phone line 2 ok and band GSM ok.

Issue: Then I switched to UMTS for 5 min. Showed up the PIN-screen for a moment and connected automatically to UMTS band. But checking the active phone line showed that it fell back to phone line 1.

Five min later it fell back to GMS correctly but kept on with phone line 1 instead of line 2.

Next test: I activated line 2, using the secondary PIN, activating UMTS for 10 min, with fall ack to line 1, reactivating line 2 again, then waiting for switching band back to gsm automatically.

Strange behaviour: The bandswitch icon says "G" but the phone says UMTS movistar. The active phone line is still line 2. Then I switched back to GMS manually. The icon stayed with "G", phone says only "movistar" which means GMS, and phone line fell back to line 1.

My impression

- the fall back to GMS from UMTS does not work right. It just changes the icon, but it doesn't change the band really.

- on manual band change, the application always uses the primary PIN without recognizing the active phone line.

Other settings I made:

Idle 300 sec.

Connection traffic sceduled for off-line between 22:00 and 8:00.

but this shouldn't affect the issues

Last issue: I feel that the swithching procedure is getting stuck somewhere when switching to UMTS where there is no coverage. Then changing phone line as well as band switch causes big problems, some times staying in flight mode, some times having to repeat the band or phone line switch several times and some times ending up in phone radio off and no more able to switch it on, and there fore having to soft reset.

You'll surely understand that I prefer to test all this with bandswitch and not with CommMgr PRo, just for not messing up issues, as the version 1.1.9 worked pretty fine, but just with one PIN = only 1 phone line.

Besides this: great work that is saving me much battery life, and looking forward to trying CMP finally.

Best regards and enjoy Santander. Hopefully sunshine from tomorrow until sunday.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mikkelnl:
Hi Daniel,

Since a few days, BandSwitch ánd CommMgrPro are not working correctly anymore. I've tried finding out what and when this happens, and I found this info. (I tried CommMgrPro to see if that would work, but BandSwitch is better for my situation, so I'll mention BS from now on)

When I start up BS, everything works fine. I can switch bands, and the programmatic feature works OK. But after some time, I found out that the programmatic feature would stop working (the connections would not go disabled).

I found out WHEN bandswitch works, and when it stops working: it will work fine when the version checker on the bottom of the screen says: "Latest version not checked". BUT, after some time that text will disappear and it will show some HTML codes in red. Untill a few days ago, it would mention that there is a newer version, but now it just shows (what seems to be) red html codes.

Everytime those red html codes appear, bandswitch stops functioning correctly...

Like I said; CommMgrPro also seems to have a simmular problem, but I can't find such a specific sign like BS gives.

I tried using the latest version of BS, but it seems to be acting the same...

Any ideas?

Thankssssss :)

EDIT:

Just tried to install the latest version of BS again. When I click 'CHECK UPDATE', the text at the bottom of the screen turns red, I can see some of it and says:

ML><HEAD><STYLE>a:link{font:8pt/

To sum it up: as soons as this happens, the SCHEDULE feature stops working...

Hope this helps...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi Mikkeln.

It happens in old version of BS and CMP when the update server is down. (now is down and I am out of Madrid). But V1.2.1 shouldnt have this problem. What you should see in the botton line of BS is "Latest version not checked:1.2.1". When you press "Check Update" nothing should happens. I ve just done it with three test devices and no problems. What do you see in botton line?

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mikkelnl:
When I press CHECK UPDATE, it shows this line:

ML><HEAD><STYLE>a:link{font:8pt/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
I dont really know wich version you have but ve just pushed "chech update" in latest version(1.2.1) and this is what appears:

Could you check your version? It must be in botton line. If "1.2.1" doesnt appear then It isnt V1.2.1....

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mikkelnl:
I'm running v1.2.1, same as your screenshot. But after I press CHECK UPDATE it shows these red html codes... :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
hehe that is very misterious.....Since server is down It cannot return HTML code. Can someone confirm? (in the meantime reviewing source code)

Could you post a screenshot?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Maybe you operator is redirecting when host is not found. Let me upload a new version (5 minutes)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mikkelnl:
:) I have no idea what you mean, but let's hope a new version helps :) :)

I'm sorry, but I don't know how to make screenshots... :eek:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Ok V1.2.2 uploaded. Please install and let me know.

Some GSM operators intercepts http not found requests and redirects to help pages. It can cause unknown effects on bandswith who tries to look for the version number in the response stream.....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mikkelnl:
Thx, I'll go try this on... I'll let you know asap..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mikkelnl:
No luck yet... this seems very very strange! I still get the red html code after using BS for a few minutes.

I also did not install any apps or change anything, so it seems very weird that this is happening, anyone else experiencing this issue?

thanks for your time daniel!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Strange. In the worst case the problem will dissapear when I turn on the server on monday. Next version of BS and CMP will have an option to enable/disable automatic check for updates...

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mikkelnl:
ok, maybe that helps. Since when is the server down? maybe the date will sound familiar to me (and when I first noticed this issue)

thx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Last sunday or monday...so 5 or 6 days ago. Its murphy law. Everything works until no one can reboot if it fails (holidays)

Oh well, we'll find out when the server is back up, enjoy the holidays!!

Hi daniel,

Having a bug on 1.2.2. After install I booted up to GSM. Bandwidth switch detected this ok. But if I switch to Auto, the software just changes the plugin icon to A but does not switch the band to Auto. I noticed this on 1.2.1 as well.

BTW do I qualify as a beta tester for your commmgrpro? ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
ooooops, you are right. fixing it right now. It seems you re a nice tester. commmgrpro is waiting for you :D
