no, spanish. i'll try out others.

then i understand some strange readings on batery, having it set to 999 sec, without intention.

stays the issue that for file size i can put whatever, next time i find it reset to zero kB.

no, i put it into the next schedule "waiting" but on enter, because they are adjustments after soft reset.

is there no file browser to find .exe, .dll and .lnk-files? to find

the exe or dll related to opened file type would be users responsibity, opening .doc and closing word exe or dll ...

and finaly i wished you would stop autoload of the .xml file, and give posibility of naming it and browsing for it, just as for .db backup and restore....

many thanx.

Memory card dissapered

After uninstalling old (unregisterd) version of CommMgrPro, I made a soft reset. After it, I installed new version of CommMgrPro, but the PDA cannot see memory card now. This card is seen and is working if I put it into my card reader device. Maybe this problem is due to soft reset, but what shall I do to solve it? New soft reset attemts do not help. May be hard reset, or there is any other solution?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi. I answered you by mail :)

I ve been busy last two weeks with other issues. No I am back. I will begin to check and fix all the issues that you ve been reporting this time...

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi again.

I ve talking with a user that needs more features in GPS/GSM tracking. I paste the mail. Suggestions are very appreciated

Hi Cal.

First of all thanks for your help to improve CMP :)

Lets see how works CMP. Then we will see if there is a problem or not and finally (and more important) ideas and suggestion for traking tool

How CMP works?. Current CMP stores known and unknown cells. Those cell may have GPS coordenates attached. When CMP finds a cell that hasnt GPS info It tries to find it. So CMP opens GPS and try to get the coordenates. But this process can take 1 minute or more so the coordenates finally got can be far of the initial point. When you enter again to that cell CMP doesnt get GPS coordenates again but It sends to the server the previous GPS coordenates. In this way, after some days, all your known cells will have GPS info attached and will be sent to the server but your gps wont be used saving battery.

How can I know whitch cells have GPS info attached, the coordenates and how to remove it?. You can know the cells that have GPS info attached and what coordeantes. Look at the first photo. The red coloured boxed means cells with GPS info. You can click on "Remove GPS info" and you will see the coordenates. Then you can remove the gps info or cancel. In the cell history dialog you can see the cell you have been in the last hours and if thoses cells had gps info or not.

CMP works correctly?. In my tests CMP is working according to previous points 1 and 2. Let me know if you think there is a problem

Ideas and suggestions. As you know the is GPS mode in CMP called Discovery mode. In this mode CMP keeps running the gps. I ve thought about change its behaviour and "forget" gps info. In this way CMP would refresh GPS info when chaning a cell even that cell has GPS info attached. Other complementary idea is to send gps info not only when changing current cell but sending it each x seconds or minutes or when GPS position changes, for example, some meters or kilometeres. Your opinion will be very appreciated. These two weeks I ve been very busy with others matters but next week I come back to CMP to fix bugs and add new features, like these ones.

Best Regards.

Windows refuses to open commmgr applet (2)

Hi,

I tried CMP on my Eten X500 and everything seems to work fine except when I try to turn the Wifi On/Off or set it up. ON/OFF doesn't do anything and Set Up brings the following error message "Windows refuses to open Commmgr applet (2)".

On more question : how do I make my phone switch from Wap connexion to GPRS connexion (profiles already existing on my connexion settings in WM6).

Thanks,

Pebrok
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi pebrok.

Wifi management isnt standard so I used the most common way to manage it (programatically) but It may not work in all devices.

I didnt understand the last question. If you mean how to setup cmp to set the connection to open,close or disable using the actions or buttons then Its done from connections page(see the combo box). If you are asking a action that switches between wap and gprs connection then it doesnt exists but I could add it if its insteresting...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pebrok:
Thanks for your reply,

so it means that I won't be able t turn wifi on/off with CMp on my Eten X500 ?

Is there something i can do to correct this (modify the registry, anyhting else).

I'm using WM6. What info so you need to be able to analyze the problem ?

Regarding my second question, I' like to connect through wap when I open Internet Explorer and through GPRS when I open Tomtom (traffic).

Pebrok
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi

I will try to get a eten a device to make cmp fully compatible with it (do you have a spare device to let me research during a week ;)).

Regarding to connection question I will add the action you need. It seems interesting....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pebrok:
Great !

Thanks.

Keep me updated, I will wait for the compatible version.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Karl der Käfer:
it seems that using faman's mw6 ver. 4.02 cmp defintly cannot close any pgm. :-(

and there is still a bug messing up the default and unknown profile:

4:04:59 ... acciones final para desconocido

4:05:00 ... entrar para -(0)

4:05:00 ... final para desconocido

4:05:01 ... entrar para -(0)

4:05:01 ... final para desconocido

actually there are 2 schedules for "desconocido", one terminating 4:05 (marked as "always"), the other starting 4:05 ("always not marked), and in the xml-file desconocido is tagged as profile "0".

As these enter and exit codes seem to be multiples, may be "0" and "desconocido" are a bit messed up still.

BTW, please could you use a txt-standard format in the log files, so we could use copy + paste to show it to you. by now every 2nd symbol is special and pasting to this forum only shows the very first letter.

And a cuestion to all forum users:

is there any one using wm6.1 with cmp?

cheers and happy easter holidays

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

I cant do now deep tests because I am in holidays (Santander,jeje). It seems that import xml files can corrupt in same way the database. If you create a new database and use v 1.3.3 it seems to work. I repeated the test many times (export,change,import) and unknown issue wasnt there. When I am in Madrid again I will play with your db but maybe the solution is create a new one and import your profiles using xml.

Talking about close progrmas. I ve created right now a test profile. On enter opens iExplorer,windows media player and calc and on exit it closes them. I repeated it many times and closes them ok althought It takes 6 or 7 seconds. I have to say that I ve htc kaiser with 128 mb ram and closing processes requires much free ram and sometimes could fail if memory is low. In Madrid I will test with a TYNT that only has 64 MB.....

Happy holidays!!

pd: Si Dios quiere el miercoles por fin firmamos la compra de un terrenito cerca de Ribadesella jeje. Mi vida en el norte esta cada vez mas cerca :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Karl der Käfer:
that is what i did. i have a edited xml, just to assure that "deconocido" has the tag "0".

import seems ok. export y reimport and it's spoiled...

yesteerdaay my car's profile started tt6 twice. yes, two times, but the schedule only has 1 start action programmed.

so i deleted all open file and all close file actions in all profiles and entered them again: wonder wonder, all "close pgm"-actions now are working fine.

next try is export xml, reedit in a txt-editor, just to see the desconocido's tag number, reimport and try ...

results by tomorrow, i hope.

is there nobody who tried cmp with mw6.1 yet?

regards, ralf

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi.

After import a xml file the system gives new id for the id profiles. This is how works edb engine from microsoft. The important thing is that the id for unknown profile is the same that appears in the registry, called "default_profile". So watch this value and export the xml and check if unknown profile has that value....

Dani...

pd. Mañana firmamos el terrenito, jejeje :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Karl der Käfer:
i'll give it a try. what happens if i change this value? can i "choose" the default profile? priblem: if it is the reg-entry that determines the defaukt profile, what happens if between export and import this reg-info changes?

regards

cell differences

What does it mean in the cell history tab under GPS when all listings show "No" under GPS. I'm trying to figure out if my device detected new info to database.If i can tell the differences I can feel better towards knowing I have a fair shot of getting that free license since I travel a lot.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi.

It means that cell hasnt gps info attached. You can extend the time to let gps get coordenates on gps settings. Or you can use discovery mode to let cmp open the gps all the time....

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dyetheskin:
how to

How do I do these since I'm more familiar with bandswitch. I also would like how to receive that free license since I think I uploaded a lot of new cells and LAC's.

Hi.

Send me a email to herrero.daniel@gmail.com tellling me your device owner name (license dialog in CommMgrPro) and I will send you the license....

problems with app

I thought the idea of this app was nice so I downloaded the app from the author's page. Once installed it kept telling me it was not the current version. I left it running in background on my Hermes and when I tried to open it again the only thing that I could see was the upper right hand corner x and the soft keys, the screen did not show. I rebooted and got the same thing. I checked the manual, but it said nothing. I tried to uninstall it, but it will not uninstall. I close it and try to uninstall it but it says that the uninstall was unsuccessful. How do I clean this off my unit!!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Some people have reported corrupt uninstall process. I couldnt repeat this issue in my test devices but I am preparing an explicit uninstall process instead of rely on windows uninstall standard process. By now you can:

1) Remove links in /windows/startup, disable today pluging and reset.

2) try to uninstall again.

3) If doesnt uninstall remove directory /program files/commmgrpro and registry entries under hklm/software/danielherrero/commmgrpro.

4) To make disppear it from installed program list search on the registry for commmgrpro. I dont remember the places but windows build this list looking in 2 or 3 registry paths.

Regards.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] birdheh:
hard removal

Needless to say, just stopping it did not solve the problem. I had already made sure that the program was not running before I tried to uninstall. I deleted the program folder, but it very upsetting that if I am willing to pay for a program that I have to go into the registry to remove it. Without doing that I am getting an error every time I reboot. I would expect this from a shareware, but not from a commercial product.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi.

Sorry for the problem but I think you didnt understand me correctly. What I told you is a standar system to remove a program that had a problem during a uninstallation. Not only for cmp but for any winmo program. CMP uninstall correctly in 95% but some users has reported that problem. I couldnt repeat that issue in my test devices (4 htc) but I am building a explicit tool because now I dont rely on microsoft Windows uninstalll process. Again sorry for the problem...Probably some "commercial" program wouldnt have answered your first answer like I did but "Please, we will contact you" instead of trying of solving a problem of a non licensed user like I did.:D

Freeze

Daniel,

Installed latest version yesterday (no longer on call/guard hehe) & using the today plugin:

And again 2 freezes within a few hours (one when adding an appointment in calendar and one when in Sound & Notifications menu).

After the 2nd freeze I even had to perform 2 Reboots..

So disabled the today plugin.

This morning again a freeze (while doing nothing..) & after a reboot Wifi was on (is always off) & 3G (instead of 2G)...

Without commmgrpro I almost have no freezes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
its very interesting the conflicts between cmp and your device. Its a pitty I havent your device and install debug tools to see the source of your problems. Anyway I would like to know two things:

1) how much time lasts the freezes? in this time you cant interact with the cmp or with the device?. Yesterday I had a freeze in my jobs device(tynt wm5) but no cmp installed there, during 10 secs and when I was going to reboot then All came to live. I hope to see that problem in the other pda because I ve installed many debug tools on it. So finally i ve installed cmp and tools on job's device

2)device and so version

3) you say after reboot wifi and band changed of state. It seems when the device freezed a new period or location was happening and the actions were being executed. It would be very nice if you could upload your database to let me examinate it. It should be there althought you ininstalled it.

4) I will post a debug tool. After a anomalous situation or hang or freeze or crash then you can export a text file from this tool so I will know exactly what was doing cmp before and after the problem. This tools is ver easy to use,very low footprint and resources and hasnt impact on device's performance.

5) now 80 per cent of the work is executed by worker threads to avoid blocks (what you call freezes) because of periferical that responds slowly like band manager or wifi and leave the device blocked for a while So I will change it and will process 100 x 100 of tasks in background. I hope it solves those situations..

I will notify you if I find something...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] davw:
Daniel,

1) The 2 freezes were not ending and nothing was possible with the device -> so rebooted my device. I also had a freeze but after about 30 seconds all became normal again.

2) Device: HTC Tytn WM5 / ROM 1.18.255.3 / Radio Version 1.03.03.10 / Ext ROM 1.18.255.9642

3) I don't use the option Actions to change settings location based (in fact no option (schedule/connections/actions) at all is used, no places are defined).

Today, I didn't started cmp yet, also had no freeze yet.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Ok. No actions then . thank you very much for the information. Your feedback is very important to improve cmp.I will analize your db.

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] davw:
Maybe this is also important to know:

I have 2 today plug-ins installed since a while:

1) Device Status (DevState_1_5_bld547). This one is always activated on my Todayscreen.The main reason of use is that it shows the programs which are still running in the background and the possibility to close them all at once.And the indication of Memory in Use for programs.

2) Batterystatus extended version (1.04.201 beta 3). This one is installed but not in use (desactivated from the todayscreen options / items) since several weeks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
davw

If you select menu/data/check integrity you will be reported your database is corrupt. Next time delete the database before start(cmp will create a new one from scracth) or select menu/data/format to delete it. I hope your problems are because of it.

Its recomend(in beta stage) to backup the database (menu/data/backup) frequently and check the integrity (menu/data/check).

greetings
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Version V0.9.0.12(2007-04-03)

1) Double buffering for antiflicker in today plugin and panel buttons. It will be improved but its one step

2) Actions are created by default with value "Dont change status" to avoid use confussion

3) Minor bug fixing.

4) Skin engine in progress (not finished yet).

It cant be download from CMP because server is down and I cant upload the installed to CMP server . It must be download from www.commmgrpro.com.

Greetings

.... "today finished" ... need some adjustements... (resize the distance/extension of the shadow) here is a preview (two sets for speakers)

...just a question, for transparency of the shadow into the today skin... i hope i need an alpha channel... am i right?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] davw:
Daniel

This afternoon cmp freezed (so not the device this time) while running in the background.

Couldn't re-open the application, and couldn't stop it (via settings-memory-running programs).

Had to reboot Tytn again.

Check Integrity Data -> Ok this time, no errors.

Tomorrow I'll install the new version (V0.9.0.12).

Once you posted the debug tool, I'll install that also and export the txt files after freeze problems (and post them) as I also want to know why I'm having these problems.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
wow they look nice

well alpha channel not necesary if you want. keep in mind I take pixel x=1y=1 as the trnsparent color but I will research deeply about it ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Applestar:
I WANT THESE PNGs :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moisha:
Same here. Had to disable CMP. :( Either freezes on it's own, but most often the complete device. Leaving the main screen opened and letting the device to timeout into the sleep mode - sure way to have a freeze.

After CMP hickups, I am unable to do start - settings - phone. Clicking on the phone icons does nothing. Unable to start dotfred's task manager - task manager freezes collecting the device info.

CMP seems to have mind of it's own. Insists on setting my band to WCDMA, when I have "no change" defined.

@SkizZO

icons are very nice !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
dont panic,seems a problem in today plugin. Fixing it....

its anoying not see this problem in my device. Could you disable today today plugin and tell me if the problem is there....??

in the meantime I will do the interaction between today plugin (shell32.exe) and cmp asyncrhonus because now is synchorous and it could freeze shell32.exe,critical process of the system. Later I will upload v13.Please install it and keep me informed

thanks again in the bug fixing process of cmp :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] davw:
My latest freeze (see previous post, cmp freezed not the device) was with the today plugin disabled.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
thanx guys... you're too gentle :D

...are thoose icons good for places images (i've cutted it to view all imgs) ?? after that, miss only close buttons, battery & signal :D :D

...or give me some ideas of "common places photos"...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
I know it. I expressed incorrectly. Even with plugin deactivated cmp tries to look for it. I wanted to say "uninstalled" plugin (using registry editor). Sorry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Version V0.9.0.13(2007-04-04)

1) Asynchronous comunication between today plugin and cmp to avoid blocked shell32.exe

2) Concurrent notification system queue could result on device hanging in some situations. Fixed.

3) Please deativate today plugin before upgrade.

Ok. Finally i saw the device freezing. Watching log files it was because of diferent threads in the same process were iterating the notification system queue. Theorically It is allowed by microsoft documentation but in this case it caused a freeze. So now all the threads uses a mutex to only one access this queue concurrently. I hope this was the problem. If it isnt I will continue looking for it. Please people with freezes could you install it?

PLEASE-------> Deactivate the today plugin before install.

Thanks a good night...

You are working really hard on this project, aren't you ?

I disabled excellent and trusty PZPPackage ( www.pocketzenphone.net ) I had installed and working just fine in order to continue testing CMP.

Hi. Not compatible with smartphone version, by now. Only Pocket pc....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jeffrey.jansen:
I had high hopes on this program, but it still doesn’t do what I want it to do.

On my Artemis P3300, CMP only disturbs all communications instead of managing them.

I’ve spend a lot of time trying to get it right, but now I give up.....

With the last new feature (GPS) it messes up my navigation system (TomTom) as well.

It’s a pity that I spend so much time and some money on this program.

Every time I crossed the border (every day ) , my PDA started to Internet instead of turning the communication off. (I paid a lot of roaming costs, much more than I spend on the program)

After I upgraded from WM5 to WM6 and uninstalling CMP, WM6 itself stopped all communications before roaming.

So for me CMP acts as unnecessary balance. (It causes the same problems under WM6)

Sorry Daniel.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Thanks for your help jef.

As you know and was described in this thread there are problems with artemis (3300)managing communications using RAS Api. I continue waiting for a device like yours and solve the problems. When that moment arrives I will notify you.

Changing modes/Bluetooth during a call

Dani,

Any chance of NOT turning off Bluetooth if I'm in a call and a profile change occurs which is supposed to turn off Bluetooth? My Car profile turns on Bluetooth so I can initiate calls from my headset. Often when I'm only going to be in the car for 5 or 10 minutes, instead of setting Car for an unlimited amount of time, I'll set Car profile for 10 minutes. Sometime I end up in a call that goes beyond the 10 minute mark and, when the timer expires, Bluetooth turns off and the call disappears from my headset. I realize I could always set unlimited time in that profile but I'd really rather set a time and have CMP behave intelligently :) when the time expires.

What do you think? Maybe postpone turning off Bluetooth until the call is over?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Thanks.

Dont turn BT off automatically during a phone call is a easy issue and Its already in my todo list. I wanted to say I am not missing but with much work in my "daily" job because we are finishing and releasing a project (High Speed Rail Signaling) during these weeks but Its finishing and I will came back with CMP very soon....

Dani
