Hi,

Thanks for developing this application.

Couple of questions;

1) What does the info on the first screen mean i.e. 0-188-2[28-11:09:08] ? Part of looks like the time...

2) On the Options:Actions screen what does 'On AC Full Power' do?

3) On the Options:Conn. screen does the 'Close Idle Conn.' setting apply to all Profiles?

Also, it would be nice to have 'Next check' time info also.

Is it possible to turn WiFi off on idle connection?

4) When setting the time on the Options:Schedule screen I had difficulties changing the minutes after I changed the hours. Got there in the end but took longer then it should.

5) Is it possible to assign a locked mode to a profile permantly? For example, the Car profile should always be in locked mode.

6) How can I get it to quickly/automatically select the Car profile if this is not based on location? I know I will be doing this several times a day.

Bil
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Yes. The next step is to include a xml file for each theme where you define colors, fonts, sizes, etc.....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
1) 0-188-2[28-11:09:08] Debug info tha will be removed soon(in release V1.0)

0: 0 pending tasks for the worker threads.

188: 188 asynchronous tasks executed for those threads.

2: Two time notifications scheduled.

28-11:09:08. Next notification will be in day 28 at 11:09:08

2) 'On AC Full Power'. If you check this option for a time frame then if you are in that frame and plug the device then BT and Wifi will be on, speaker on, band 3G......I mean, maximum battery usage if AC connected.

3) Yes. In this tab you can control the connections regardless of the current profile. This page only apply to Telephony connection, not wifi or PAN connections.

4) yes. I ve the same problem. Many times I ve to switch to the other time control and then come back to be able to change minutes. I will try to change it but Its windows ce controls matters...

5) Well, when you lock a profile (fe, car profile) this will be locked until you unlock it explicitally selecting "Unlock". This kind of profiles have meaning when you are moving but dont want to change the states.

Remember that if you create a 24 hours time frame for the "default" place It will be applied when you enter in a unknown place. For example: " If I am in a unknown place I want BT off, speaker ON......

6) Create a "Car place" and a default 24 hours for it and set the options (BT on, .....). Obviously it isnt necessary to assign lacs or cells to it. Then when you are in the car simple tap the "Current place button" (the one with the current location image), select "Lock mode" and finally select the "car" profile just created. So three clicks and you can use the finger because the buttons are very big.....The profile will remain locked until you unlock it.

Greetings.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kismat1970:
Thanks for the reply to my questions. Just a clarification...

You said....

>>2) 'On AC Full Power'. If you check this option for a time frame then if you >>are in that frame and plug the device then BT and Wifi will be on, speaker >>on, band 3G......I mean, maximum battery usage if AC connected.

So does this setting detect the device is connected to AC power? or does it always run at max battery usage for the selected time period?

What then happens when the AC power is removed. Does it automatically revert to your current profile and its settings?

Bil
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Exactly. CommMgrPro detects when is connected to AC and when it isnt.(In Battery bar you see a bettery icon if the device isnt connected or a plug icon if the device is plugged. Verify this putting your eyes on that icon. Then plug and unplug the device and you will see how the icon changes ) So if you unplug it then It will detect the change and will apply the current settings for NO AC.

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Just trying out the beta. After uninstalling BandSwitch, I installed CommMgrPro and reset. Upon startup, the application is automatically started but I get a popup error message from the EXE. It says Error cargando followed by six boxes(I assume uninterpretable characters). What gives? Not sure how to diagnose.

Please advise.

--Mickey A
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Try to reinstall. It seems CMP didnt find the images. I can be because they arent there(strange) or (more probably)you have uninstalled bandswith after installing CMP (You ve to do it before....)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
I actually did that in the prescribed order before posting. First time I noticed upon reboot that Bandswitch started again. So I uninstalled both and then reinstalled only CMP. Then rebooted one more time and here I am. But the sport that I am, I uninstalled one more time, rebooted just to make sure and then re-installed. Unfortunately the same thing. One thing I didn't mention was that the VIBRATE goes off right before the message.

Thanks.

--Mickey
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Misterious. Did you close bandswith before uninstall it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Let's table for now unless you are too curious to find a solution. My Palm 750(intentions are to replace my 8525) should be in tomorrow(Thurs). Will plan to install on that device. It will definately be a clean install w/o Bandswitch interfering. What do you say?

--Mick
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Ok, Keep me informed :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
As a side note the install created a folder called CommMgrPro underneath Program Files. There are two files plus one folder called THEMES. The two files are CommMgrPro.exe and Comm_mgr.db. Under Themes folder another folder exists as Default. Underneath default, numberous PNG files exist.

If there is anything else to look for, I can certainly do that too.

--Mick
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Yes. Could you verify the in the registry exists a key under KLOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Daniel Herrero/CommMgrPro with many values?.

Sometimes when you uninstall bandswitch then CMP registry keys are removed. I ve to research about it....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
yes it is there...about 14 or so entries.

--Mick
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
:confused: and...what happens exactly when you start the program?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
I get a long vibrate followed by the popup with a title box of CommMgrPro.exe with the contents Error cargango followed by 6 boxes.

Weird hugh?

--Mick
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Long vibrate is a signal of error. But you already know there is a problem.... Wich device, operative system and language you own?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
hehe. Wellcome to murphy law. I ve always TaskMgr running and spying......Anyway good luck and hope next time you ve problems then task mgr is running. (In my case....Next time I ve problem then debugger is near :) )
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Testing Call Forwarding. Seems to set it self at defined time(2135). It turned on CF however, it didn't override the number that was already there. I configured CMP to forward to my home phone but it was my work number that was in there. I actually had this set earlier today but disabled earlier.

Question. Would really be nice to have CMP show that the phone is CF mode. Also the only way to turn off is to use standard phone functionality. Should CMP have an button for that? Don't know since it may be too busy for us "square" people.

Also - added new timeframe of 2135 to 2135 - CMP offered to split default so I said yes. Noticed the sort was default(split 1), default(split 2) and then new time frame.

I am also noticing that I have 2 HOMEs listed in the PLACES and in SCHEDULE pull down. I also have a blank entry too that has a default entry. Exporting the XML to see what is actually in there.

--Mickey
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
1) Call Forward. Its strange. It worked in my test devices. Coud you do a test? First of all set CF using standar way (start/phone/settings/call forward) to a number to ensure that your operator allows you to forward toward that number (Not all numbers are allowed. Some number gave me error "out of range by operator. I dont really know the meaning). If it works then disable CF using standard way again. Then go to CMP and in main screen select menu/test/call forwarding/on. It opens a dialog then you have to put the number. In my examples I dont write any international prefix. I finally go again to settings/phone/call forward to verify if It worked. If not I wil try to find other reasons. Is more people can do this test would be nice.

2) CAll Forward Button. You are right. CMP was designed initially to control a limitated number of options (bt, wifi). But now Its necesarilly to control CF, Beam, and soon other features. I ve to think how to do it in a simple way. I ve thought about removing the "hide" button and then, clicking over the new "More" button would appear other windows with new buttons to control the new options and their status. What do you think?

3) Could you send me the db file?. Id_Place is primary key so isnt possible to insert a new place with same key. XML file is exportated using a memory cache of the registries. I thing the problem can be there, not in database. If you restart cmp do you continue seeing two home places?.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
DB was just sent. Will test the CF a little later today.

The MORE instead of the hide sounds good to me.

Thanks

--Mick
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
No doubt. There are two "home places" one with id 1 and other with id 2. Anyway, It will be imposible in next version(to create a new 24 time frame if there are more periods)....

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dirk L. A.:
I have installed the latest pre-release yesterday evening and had a planned power off/on this night: no problem. Everything was normal today also, but I haven't tested CF. Still the display issue with the today plugin, where most of the time the name of the schedule is missing next to the place.

One question: what does exactly do the power suspend mode?

Dirk
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi Dirk.

Fixing now schedule text in today plugin. Suspend action turns off the device....I thing the most interesting (for CMP user) power actions are reset, power on and screen on...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
1)Schedule text in today plugin fixed.

2) Today theme(tsk) selection action finished.

Next actions:

1) Specify volume level when choose speaker on.

2) Set screen bright level
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Ok tried it - manual settings worked fine. Reset CMP to trigger to home phone at selected time. Well it worked this time. Not sure what happened the first time. If you can somehow display I am in CF mode, that would great.

Question: When entering a Phone Number to CF can default to number mode? I know my Treo could stand it but I think the HTC devices could use that too. I find my self banging letters instead of numbers.

Thanks.

--Mickey
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Opps. I spoke too soon. Call Forwarding has only worked once. I have tried 5 times. I wonder if my Internet Connection(push email) may having something to do with it. Hopefully others are testing this.

Do you use a standard WM5 call or other way? Just curious if there was another way to fire of a Call Forwarding.

--Mickey
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Another CF observation...it appears if I use the TEST option of CF, I can set a number each and every time I try. I can tell it is doing something as the CLOCK is ticking while busy. I go into the Phone->Service->Call Forwardaing and whamo, it is set with the correct number. It just doesn't work consistantly via the scheduler for some reason.

CF Feature Request: I can have a need to enter different numbers depending on the day and time(place). Looking towards the future at being able to manually invoke CF, it would be really nice to have a DB of numbers that I can choose to invoke. It would definately reduce the data entry especially while testing.

Another topic:

I have also noticed on the timeframe screens, that the default is not Numbers(see previous post). Wonder if we can have this defaulted.

Possible Bug:

Noticed that on my today plugin's 2G/3G/Auto Icon goes to an exclaimation point for no explainable reason that I can tell. It's almost as if CMP thinks it isn't running only for this one ICON.

Thanks for listening.

No me aparece el CELL/LAC

Hola tengo una HTC Universal con W6 OS 5.2.1413 y radio 1.15 y no consigo que me salga en numero CELL o LAC.

por que?

JUAN A.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] OdeeanRDeathshead:
I just wanted to say that your program is a big help for the dopod D810. My wife has a D810 and has noticed that the band can't be switched without first turning off the radio. This is a problem because the band tab on the phone settings can't be shown when the phone is off. Using your app she can now easily switch bands. Thanks again :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
mmm. I ve tried it with connection on and worked. Anyway I will continue performing tests....

I use standar way. Windows provides a TAPI (Telephone API) to do it: lineforward (name says all). I dont know more ways to do it and I ve found on internet and no one uses other way....

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Mickey I didnt understand the first thing (timeframe screens). Could you explain me);

The today band icon problems is truth. I saw yesterday but I thought I was strange. Now your porst confirm it. Fixing it.....

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
HTC Univesal Radio ROM doesnt provide Cell and LAC info. API function always return 0.

La Radio ROM de la HTC Universal siempre devuelve en mismo valor cuando se le pregunta acerca de la celda: 0. Supongo que HTC no implemento esa funcionalidad para la HTC Universal...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
I upload this version for testing pourposes. Changes:

1) Fixed power actions (didnt work in V0.9.0.28)

2) Fixed 24 hours new time frames problem.

3) Today Theme selector action finished

4) For "speaker on" now user can set the level.

The last thing I will do before V0.9.0.29 is screen bright management.....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
When you go and add a new timeframe, you have to enter a Description and a start/stop time...correct? So when you tab(move) into one of the time fields could you force the device to enter numbers only? This technique would also be of help in the CF screen. Alpha characters are of no value in these screens. Only numeric. I have noticed on some of my PALM screens(and maybe on my HTC) that when I got to the call forwarding screen manually via SERVICE, I can only type in numbers which implies that the Number Lock key is forced on. Hope this makes more sense.

Thanks for looking at the call forwarding. I see a new version posted, I will grab it and check it out.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chatty:
Hey Daniel,

your app seems great. As you can see from my sig I own two devices - one still equipped with WM2003. Have you thought about a compatible version? Wouldn't mind if for a start not all functions would work (I know, a lot of APIs differ or are even lacking under the older WM).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Ahhhhh, Ok Mickey :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi Chatty.

Cell info api is present in WM5 althought some manufacturers implement it and other not (always return cell 0 or strange values). But in WM2003 this api is not present so cmp wont start....:o
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dirk L. A.:
Hi Dani,

Based on previous pre-release version: the digital display of the signal strengh is not always updated when needed, for example when turning the phone off (flight mode) it remains on the last value instead of 0.

A question: when choosing (forcing) a profile the "on enter" action of that profile is executed, but when releasing the lock the "on exit" action is not executed. Is that the normal behavior?

I have now been playing with CF, I had a strange behaviour at the first use but couldn't reproduce it... I had to reset and set the numbers with the codes (**61/62...), even the phone interface was unable to change the values.

Dirk
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dirk L. A.:
I think that I'm wrong: it's when entering a locked profile that the "on exit" action of the previously active profile isn't executed. But could be finally both where "on exit" isn't done.

Dirk
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi Dirk.

On exit actions are executed when unlocking a locked profile (or should be executed). I ve just done a test and worked here. Be aware that if you are in a known place/schedule just after are executed the "on enter" actions of that schedule and they could override them.

But Its truth that when you select a profile then "on exit" actions of the current profiles arent executed. Fixing.....

...Did you tried test option menu CF?

Ok Fixed "On exit" issue. Very good observation Dirk ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ixtana_ran:
Turning on push e-Mail on exit

Would it be possible to turn on push e-Mail with the start an application, on exit feature? What file would need to be chosen? I hope it's something in the windows folder, any info appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Activate/Deactivate pushmail and Send/receive for any mail account is in to-do list and will be ready very soon:)

Now concentrated on Backlight because there isnt a official api and I ve to fight with the driver but Its OEM dependent......:(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dirk L. A.:
OK I have installed the latest pre-release and done my CF testing again after a reset.

0/ the profile is lock before the reset to an other profile than the one associated to the current location

1/ install and reset

2/ check the CF status with the phone application: no answer and unreachable are forwarded to my voicebox

3/ unlock the profile, the profil of the current location contains forward "on" to my fixe line on "on enter" action and forward "off" on "on exit"

4/ check the CF status: permanent forward to the fixe line ok, the two other are display inactive with the right phone number display light gray

5/ back to the first locked profile, forward isn't switched off (but bug is already fixed!)

6/ turn foward off with the test menu

7/ check the CF status: caramba! permanent foward is off but the "no answer" also and the phone numer field is empty. The unreachable setting is on but the phone number display is unknown to me!

I switched off the phone and called it, I got the standard message "unreachable, call later".

The only way to get everything back to normal was to use again directly the code **61 and **62, the phone's application couldn't manage to set or change the number.

Anyone having seen the same (strange) behaviour?

Dirk
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Ops, hope It isnt regional settings. Continue researching it (and backlight ¡¡¡¡, that Its killing me because microsoft says Its oem dependient, so no api available, only hacking.....)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Does CMP remember if CMP turns off the phone via set Action? I was wondering because today at a said time CMP fired off(had vibrate on enter on) but the PHONE didn't turn on. The only difference today was that I manually turned off the phone since I was in my PLACE for the TURN OFF ACTION to occur. Not sure why not. I am running your latest revision to .28. I think this may be the 4th revision.

BTW...its ok to run the versions up in Beta so we can help tell you which release we are running.

--Mickey
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Well. I ve tried the scenerie you describe and the phone turned on. Please tell me if you can repeat the sequence.....

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
remember to remove the time request when objects are deactivated (i.e. wifi)

...leave only the phone time request & audio

Latest v.28 Pre-release w/ Today Theme

Hi Dani,

OK. So I've done some extensive testing on the today theme switching.

It seems that some themes do not display at all correctly. They show up as just small images in the middle of the screen. I'm assuming this is due to the fact that maybe the theme was not a true QVGA theme?

Others do display the image correctly, but don't change the color scheme to match the theme. The color of the top and bottom bars stays whatever color was used by the previous theme (executed via the Today item in Settings).

Any thoughts? Have you noticed this?

BTW, I'm using Cingular 8525 (TyTn) (I should be using the QVGA version of CMP, right? :) )

Thanks,

Phil
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Trying to repeat...Noticed the first time I got into an UNKNOWN place, so I didn't trigger. I did hit the GET and LOCKED UP while the phone was off. I had to reboot. Not sure I have tested for that before.

Trying again. The phone vibrated at the set time. I also had PHONE ON and that still didn't work. Wonder if it is something in this release?

--Mickey
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dirk L. A.:
I haven't found any theme? Is there any included in the package?

Dirk
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PayableOnDeath:
Hi

is there anyway to temporary disable the on entry items( maybe a feature request) for a location

as I have set my phone to go to vibrate while am at work, but when I am working weekends a listen to MP3s but CMP keeps muting it so I have to change the on entry action from vibrate to been on to speaker on so that it doesn't keep muting my music lol

also just thought of another feature you could add, maybe a learning mode, so say if you are at work and you know your going to be there for the next hour or so, it will pick up all the Cell ID's,etc for that hour (or some other time frame) and add it to the work location, so that you don't have to walk round the office looking at your ppc waiting for your CID to change so you can add it to the location

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Of course....:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Yes. you are right. Some themes are showed correctly only after soft reset. I dont use themes so I had to look for information on internet. Many programmers (some of them are authors of populars and commercial theme managers) were asking how to do it in WM5 and WM6 because the estandar process(call to wceload and then two windows message broadcast) doesnt work in all cases. I will continue researching.....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
No. But there are many sites with free themes......:)

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
1)Using last version (28) you can enable/disable actions and set which days should be executed. So you can set your "mute action" to be executed only from monday to friday.....:)

2) Well, there is a similar process to do it. Switch to LAC mode and add that lac to your place. From that moment all the cell that cmp finds inside that lac are automatically added to that place. (on lac is muche bigger than a cell). But dont rememeber to switch to "Cell Mode" again. (I forgot to do it in my home and my lac home was builded with 15 cells...).:o
