Well I was experiencing this in XP too..not just Vista. So I tried changing a couple of things in CMP...lile turnin off my net connection ALWAYS setting. Bottom line is that my EXCHANGE settings would want to connect anyways at it's predermined PEAK times. I thought this was going to help but it doesn't appear so.

Looks like I will uninstall and re-install .22 - I see .24 is out but will wait to see if I can isolate before moving forward.

This irks me but NOT at YOU. I just like being able to put my finger on what has caused me the trouble so that I can work around it.

I will report my findings.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Ok, report me...

On thing, did you tried to sync in other pc?.....and....Did you try to sync other device in that pc?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
i will overwrite my skin files with new one (in v 0.24)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Nice. Few things to do. End of skin engine and skizzo skin is near. One thing. Its necessary to do the today plugin images. The size is 20x20. Only for 6 buttons, not for place button. Current look is:

Dani

Ahhh, for place button text. I ve removed the tag font because these text take the font of the button font.

So before :

<ButtonText id="lock">
<position x="127" y="30" cx="52" cy="24"/>
<font family="Tahoma" fontsize="12" fontbold="700">
<rgb r="0" g="0" b="0"/>
</font>
</ButtonText>

and now:

<ButtonText id="lock">
<position x="127" y="30" cx="52" cy="24"/>
</ButtonText>
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
ok fixed but..... :o :o 20x20 icons??

i hope they're too small, i've ready a 28x25 iconset... i can convert them but it's too small!

...i can make they 25x25 due to the unused horizontal space... or you want directly they of 20x20?

...and.. due to the missing alpha channel, which color must have the background?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Well for me dont problem but maybe the people need much space. Any way skin.xml will have a entry for the height of the plugin...:rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
ok... for now 25x25 icons :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi SkizZO.

Now when you lock a profile you can choose time limit. For example, I choose "Silent" profile when I go to cinema and I can choose two hours. But now I am preparing the option "Custom Time". This button will open a dialog where user can select how many hours and seconds so I will need other of your nice images like 5 min, 10 min.....Something like "Custom"....:D

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
ok, now i put a background near today images + a transparent background set images.. give me 30 minutes.

I hope 5,10,30 are enough
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
Finished... but i've added the td_ images into the qvga dir & today images are the same. However i don't like the background, and images size nedd to be fixed..

this is an alpha version for your beta today stage :D there is also text.png
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
nice. on monday or tuesday new version with today plugin, locked profile with time limit and posibility to enter a custom number of hours and minutes in time limit dialogs.... :)

ahhh dont forget the image for custom time button....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Good job SkizZO. Next release will include today plugin with your skin...

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
...remember that today icons has a size of 25x25.... i see they stretched on the today (maybe the low quality of the screenshot you've posted?

...here are the buttons you need.. made into 5 mins (square is nearly illegible)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Yep, you are right:o I forgot to modify the size. Tomorrow all ready :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Fixed.

Dani

ps for SkizZO. If the today theme of the user has different colors It may be a little uggly. What about transparent version of your today icons. I mean, without background....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turt:
Hello, any update on the ability to monitor traffic per time? Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi. This feature is in "to-do" list but hasnt been developed yet. I hope soon...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] uniqueboy:
Hi Dani, will this eradicate the need for SPB gprs monitor? I really want the least amount of today screen clutter possible.

I can't say how impressed I am with your work to date.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi.

Yes. Its a main target. CMP already monitors and manage RAS connections so will be easy to limit the use of data traffic (per Kb and time) and draw statistics for usage (like SPB Gprs monitor)... :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
Sorry but in this week i have *A LOT* of work to do... between university Lessons, study @ home & completing a website urgently for the end of the week (www.ambsal.it) i haven't a free hour to fix the icons...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
This feature will be ready in few days. In each directory theme there will be a xml file where you can set colors, fonts and font sizes
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Applestar:
Well, since you got only a couple of people donating for BandSwitch I firmly agree on charging money for CommMgr Pro. So I thought you may give the betas a expiry date - otherwise the last beta will be kind of freeware ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
ahhhhh, hehe right. But the first release will be out in one month or so ( I wanna be very sure It hasnt bugs and It has all the wishes (if I can) of the people so if somene like these version he will like much more the first release.

Now I am in a iterative cycle:

Bug fixing

Develop new features. (Right now dynamic locked places (to lock a behavior, for example, when you are travelling in car and you want to fix the behaviour) and cpu and battery real time graphic usage)

Take new wishes and suggestions and include them

These versions are beta and are free so bandswitch people can replace it for Comm Mgr Pro because It includes all the bandswitch's features and much more :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Applestar:
Understood - fair!

Ok, new feature:

Only on entering or leaving a specific location:

1 - Open an file (application/link/music file/script)

2 - Send an eMail/SMS (this could be done with third party apps as well if suggestion 1 works)

I used http://www.cell-profiler.de/screens.php on my old PPC2003 device and this is the only feature I am still missing in CMP.

//

Another idea: Logging of all Cell-IDs (every change of ID writes a new line with "date - time - Cell-ID") - So you can use this information to set up your locations later. Helpfull to create a "location" for a driving route.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
1 - This option is included. Developed partially. I thought only to open music files but I can (easily) to allow open other kind of files .(Finished and working in V0.9.0.8. 2007-03-27 15:15)

2 - This was in the initial features list and will be included very soon.

3 - Logging cells and Lacs: Nice suggestion:D Added to to-do list.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] davw:
Cell-Id's

Another suggestion:

The possibility to import (or use) a database which f.e. contains all cellnames of a certain operator (as it can in celltrack Symbian version).

This is very handy for GSM-Operatortechnicians or other interested people to see the name of the cell (Basestation name & Sector ID).

What I mean is that in my case we have a database with all Cell-ID's each linked to a name.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turt:
Hello, this app looks very interesting!

I'm getting an O2 XDA Atom Life next week, do you think I can risk installing your app on it, or is it only designed for HTC handsets?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Is there any standard format for such file?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Of course you can. The only thing related to HTC is the way for switching bands but other manufacturers do it in the same way....

Of course you can uninstall it without problems if It doesnt work properly but I use three diferent devices in the development process and no problem in anyone.

pd: In old devices I have some problems turning on wifi adapter but I am researching about it (NDIS, .....)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Version V0.9.0.8 out (2007-03-27).

1) Inteligent LAC mode . In LAC mode, all the Cell's id found on current place are associated to that place

2) Dual Line support with 2 Pin codes.

3) Option to show/hide tray icon

4) Locked place Option. In this option the place selected is locked and the device behaves according to that place. No current location (LAC and Cells) are considered.

Tipical use: When you are in car and want to force a profile not related with location

5) New action available. Open any file (music, video, program, link....) when entering in a time frame of a known place.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Applestar:
OMG, this is becomming my dream tool ;)

Daniel, close the feature list for some time and lets concentrate on debugging (I never had a corrupted DB anymore)

But one more: Automatic updates! ;) So when there is an update (lets say a "Update" button on the About screen) you could start-up a download page for the .cab via Internet Explorer by pressing the "Update" button. Should be quite easy and would speed up beta-testing progress - since you could do this without a PC in reach.

And please: there has to be someone with some cool-looking tech icons for the application :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Yes, I was thinking about "download cab" button and It is easy to implement. In next release :D There are few things to include in the first no-beta release.

1) Help System.

2) Page to monitor CPU and Battery usage.

And you are right, my idea is waiting and working for make very stable the program before adding more features......

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] davw:
@ daniel:

This database in fact is nothing more then a textfile (converted from an accessdatabase) and looks like this (only a few CI's are shown, in a standard GSM Network there are some thousands):

CI	NAME

11703	16KES1

11704	16KES2

11705	16KES3

CI = CellID

NAME= Name of the cell (makes it more recognizable)

When extracting this list from a very detailed database more columns can be added like the full name of the Base station (in this case KES = Kessel-Lo), GPS LAT/LON Position, LAC, streetname etc...

In celltrack this database can be imported (and converted) so you'll see the CI and the name of the cell on your display.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Thanks Davn. I will research about it ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi again.

Three different people int one hour have reported the same doubt, confussion. Until now, when a new place and time frame are created then default actions are associated to them (BT off, Wifi off, 2G) and It was confusing it the current state was different. So now I ve upload V0.9.0.81. In this version when new actions are created they take their values from the current states. So If the current values are BT On, WF ON, 3 band, ....then the actions will have those values
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SANDMAN1080:
Connections Matrix

Great work Daniel! This is coming along nicely.

If this was covered elsewhere please excuse me. I haven't had any luck in either this application nor in BandSwitch.

Under the option to view all available connections in Daniels app. - the connections matrix displays which connections are enabled/disabled and if any of these are currently active. It also allows you to turn on or off the connections etc.

Here's the issue:

If you have a certain connection enabled in the main \settings\connections\connections\advanced\select network...menu and choose to enable a different connection (i.e. ISP vs. MediaNet when MediaNet is chosen via settings) using the BandSwtich or CommMgrPro connection matrix - it is not activated properly. The connection icon will change to show that it creates a connection but for whatever reason it no longer detected by any applications that require the data connection?

Any ideas? As importantly...Does anyone understand what I just said? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Ok. Let's see If I understood you. The default provider usually is My Isp. You can create other providers (networks) and create connections for those networks. For example I can create MyIsp2 network and then create connections for that network. But be aware about the text "Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using:". So, for example, if you have selected MyIsp network in the list but you stablish a connection that belongs to other network (MyIsp2...) then CommMgrPro, or bandswitch will be able to stablish manually the connection but the Connection Mgr (Kernel process of windows) will not use that connection because It doesnt belong to the prefered network. In this way the applications that use Connection Manager to get connections wont be able to use it. So if you want to be able to use the connections created for MyIsp2 (for example) you will have to select manually "MyIsp2" in that combo box.

Does it solve your question?

sorry by the looooooong text

Maybe I can do a hack so if you stablish a connection (using CMP) that doesnt belong to the current default network then CMP change "on the fly" the default network so all the applications will be able to use that connection.....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moisha:
Good stuff !

Gonna give it a try.

Suggestion - make it skinable.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moisha:
Good stuff !

not sure how easy to implement the skinning, but the current graphics is ... could be much improved.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Thanks. By now All the there are themes (one default theme) and you can create more themes with your own images. Soon a XML file will define too colors, fonts and so on for eache theme....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Dont worry SkizZO. Tomorrow I will upload V0.9.0.25 with several features/improvements and will continue will to-do list....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi

Version V0.9.0.25(2007-05-10)

1) User can export/import data to/from XML (places, cells, lacs, schedules and actions). In this way the user can see this data in readable format, update it (by hand

or using other program) and import the updated info again into the application.

2) When a profile is locked (selected) you can do it with time limit. When the period expires then the profile is unlocked again.

3) When choosing time lime now there is a button for "Custom time". It opens a dialog where you can set how many hours and minutes will be the limit.

4) Main panel shows percentages numbers for battery and signal

5) Download button works correctly (download correct version) for VGA and Square devices

6) Today Plugin included (Basic version)

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Thanks Daniel - will be checking it out. Time to go play...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:

Today's plugin missing

I installed the .24 version of comm Pro and then after testing, attempted to use the check for new version option. I was able to download .25 directly to my SD card and successfully update. Once .25 was on my 8525, the today's plugin for comm pro went missing. I was unable to switch to the comm pro or start from the programs menu. Under start--->settings-->today, i tried to use the options button while comm pro was selected. It did not work. So I was left with what I guess was the unknown profile running and no service to my phone. I've gone back to .24 and it seems to work. I search the this tread and saw some previous issues with the today's plugin but thought they were fixed. Any thoughts?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi.

Try this.

1) download this cab in your pc choosing the correct resolution (maybe cmp dowloaded a installer for incorrect resolution. In this cas cmp doesnt start).

2) Backup your database (menu/data/backup).

3) Uninstall cmp and delele directory \program files\commmgrpro

4) Copy the cab and install.

5) Reset device.

It should work but if dont please tell because many people can have same problem.

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bigdriver4u:
Which version should I use.

I've tried both qvga and vga .25 installs without any success. They installl without problem but I get nothing. No today's plug or can't launch the program. I see the todays plugin in the programs--->settings>---->today's and the options button is there when i put a check mark. But when I select the options button, it does nothing. See my signature below about my phone and ROM.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Can you add volume control? Typically I turn off the sound notifications to SMS(MMS) and EMAIL but leave the phone volume and general sound set to LOUD from 10PM to 6AM. My thinking is that if I need an alarm set or the phone rings I want to hear it but if I get email or sms in the middle of the night I don't want to hear it.

Also - It would be nice to see what place is invoked from the TODAY plugin. This is would be nice but not neccessarily required.

Your list is very extensive and I can't think of much more than you have already covered.

--Mickey
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Ok no problem. For the alarm issue I do this:

1) My alarm is set at 7:00

2) I ve a day profile from 6:59 to 23. (volume on).

3) I ve a night profile from 23 to 6:59 (volum off).

In this way the device stays muted all the night but recovers its mouth one minute before alarm sounds :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bigdriver4u:
It works daniel

Danile,

I have no clue what the differnce was this time but I followed your directsion again about removing the previous version of com pro and manually cleaning out /program files/comm pro. It works now. The today's plugin works.

I did follow the install with a soft reset before touching anything esle. Maybe 3rd times a charm.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
I hope volume & SMS/email/MSN/phone/ Ringtone choice is A MUST

also .. don't forget the BEAM :D

i'e noticed a little battery drain when the today plugin is active..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Sure. When Today plugin is activated cmp know it and sends changes on hardware (bt, wifi....) and cell/location. While not changes on this then today plugin doesnt execute code so theorically should waste cpu cycles but keep your eyes on it to detect problems....

Thanks Dani, for your excelent job,

Nor

:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Daniel - I thought of a couple of more features today...looking back I wish I would have had them.

Ability to log where I have been for the last 24 hours or so...namely have an entry for each cellid(different) and the time recorded.

Ability to enter cellids into a PLACE manually. Hope I am not missing this if it is already there. This would supplement the LOG above by going back to where I have already been.

Thanks

--Mickey
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Thanks Mickey.

The first is a good idea.

I dont know if I understood the second one correctly because in places page, selecting menu locations\assign you go to assignation page. If you uncheck "Use current place" then you can enter any number (cell or lac). Are you talking about this?

Dani

ps: Actions on enter and Actions on exit are almost finished :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Ah...I will have to try that technique for manually entering CellIds. That was what I was looking for but I just didn't understand it was already available.

--Mickey
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Found it under the ASSIGN when in Places.

One thing that I have noticed since I am having to rebuild my DB is that the ICONs for places don't look representive of what I would want. Not sure if this just because I am using the SQUARE resolution or what. I don't have an ICON that represents HOME or WORK like I used to. Maybe my eyes are just

bad too.

--Mick
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Yes, you are right. There are too many images for that dialog in square devices. I will add a scroll bar....

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
A scrolling window is needed also for QVGA devices... not all places images are shown;

I've deleted my old database, and i remember that the old database has a lot (12-15) cells to my home location..

Now i have assigned 2 cells to home and when i look at the interface, that is showing "unknown", i try to add the cell but... it say that the cell is already assigned and asks me if i want to move the cell; i choose "no" and when i return to the main screen, it shows me that i'm in a known cell...

Is how when i am assigning the cell, this changes rapidly to a known one..

It's happen 3 times consecutively...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Well. Before deleting DB is a good idea to export it to XML. It lets you see the cells assigned to a place. Then you can export your current DB (to XML), add the cells and import again.

There isnt a fixed reason for that behaviour. It could be:

1) Casualty. In your place the cell change constantly but warning, if truth then It could drain your battery quickly.

2) When you say "showing unknown", are you talking about the image or the botton text?. The image is refreshed quickly but the botton text sometimes last many seconds to be refreshed (by performance reason).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
i'm speaking about the image, i've deleted the old database because i hope isn't credible that i have 12 or more cells near my home!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Its possible. Thats my case. But It isnt telling 12 towers but 12 cells-id because one tower can have several cells-id....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Found a new bug today on my 750. If manually EXIT CMP and wait a few minutes, typically the Today PLUGIN will go whacko and blank itself out. But later I will attempt to restart CMP. Nothing happens. I ultimately have to reboot in order to restart. This is easily repeatable on my device.

--Mickey
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Thought of yet another feature request. It is probably on the list though. Can you add the ability to specify days of the week for a given timeframe? My home profiles could be setup seperately for days Monday through Friday and yet different for the weekends. I could also so this for my Work profile as I spend my Monday's working in a different city with UTMS and the other days are barely GSM.

Thanks.

--Mickey
