Hey Daniel

First off, this app is awesome, definitely worth the subscription... :-D

After playing with it for most of the day today... testing all the features I needed and re-creating my entire database after deleting the wrong file... lol, I have just one issue, and one possible feature request...

Firstly the issue...

I have a profile called "Holiday" which has the same schedules and settings as my weekend profiles, but for cases of a public holiday or being on leave, I have a schedule to run weekend hours and settings on weekday, with a calendar entry.

The holiday schedule is from 00:00 - 00:00 and should be triggered but an all-day calendar entry called "Leave" or "Holiday".

When I was testing it, having the calendar entry set to all day... doesn't work...

but if the calendar entry is set to 00:01 - 23:59, it works... so maybe something to look into there...

Secondly, the feature request...

Would it be possible to implement the changing of the phone's wallpaper as one of the actions?

That way instead of looking at the profile name that replaces your operator name, you could see what profile is active by looking at the wallpaper...

copy schedules with bugs

Hey dani.

No solution at all. with start up delay 25 sec. CMP didn't even start at all.

When starting it manually 5 min later, the batery statistics showed no data during theese 5 minutes. So I think CMP really didn't start after manual soft reset.

Then I unchecked "start as service" with the same result.

When starting cmp manually, it starts apearently, but doesn't enter the cmp-screen. To open the program, I had to start it again.

To monitor the reset a bit better, last week, on wednesday, I changed the schedule of my reset-schedule.

old:

03:59 schedule start

on enter: no action

04:00 schedule end

on exit: do reset

New

07:00 schedule start

on enter: no action

07:01 schedule end

on exit: do reset

Procedure to change the schedule:

I opended it on wednesday.

I changed the hours

I confimed the change

I copied ONE period

I Pasted, marked all week days

¿You want to past the reset to reset profile 7 days? yes

Puede durar (dale a esta ventana unos segundos y que se cierre solo, please)

¿Delete al schedules in destination or only those which are in conflict with the new one? Yes, for deleting all.

Copy finished (please also this window should close automatically after some seconds)

Result:

wednesday until sunday with the new schedule, but without action

Monday and Tuesday with the new schedule and the corresponding action.

Today I tested again, modifying hours in "tuesday" schedule, copying to all days as before. Now only monday kept the action. The rest of the week with schedule, but without action.

Then I checked with "copy ALL periods", with the same result.

I got beware of this bug only by yesterday, wondering since a week why, devil, the reset isn't executed any more ....

Please check the copy utilities (just remembering that I reported such a strange behavior in winter already)

Regards

version 2.6 crash?

Hi

Yesterday I decided to try out your program to see if it is usefull (on a HD2). I filled in my home location and a basic schedule.

Today I tried to add my work location. It works fine until it asks me 'would you like a default 24 hours schedule'.

I answer yes and then the program crashes telling me:

"There was an error [Error filling record.Error_NO_MORE_ITEMS,259]."

:confused:

After closing the program and restarting the program does not respond anymore. A reboot of the phone helps until I try to add my work location again, crash and burn like before.

Any ideas?

It seems the db was corrupted. Close the program. Delete the file \CMP-DATA\comm_mgr.db and try again..... mmmm :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Partach1:
I can not remove it, windows won't let me.

Is there some kind of mobile process viewing app / any way to kill hidden apps or processes?

I am however able to rename it?! But still not remove.

Guess it is a very corrupt db....

Windows refuses to open Commmgr applet (2)

hello

i have a samsung i780 SQUARE screen, and i have been trying to fix the problem of not being able to keep wifi alive in standby mode.

i found a possible solution on thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=446175&highlight=i780 which lead me to this thread.

i have tried several versions of CommMgr, and when i try open wifi setup i get this error.

CommMgr.exe

"Windows refuses to open CommMgr applet (2)".

i searched the thread and one person had same problem, but i couldnt find how to fix it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Karl der Käfer:
I exported the xml and had a look. The missing actions, indeed, are missing.

Monday and tuesday, just after <place> I find <schedule> and actions, but wednesday to sunday just the <schedule> with start time, end time, workday etc and then </schedule> and no actions.

another annoying issue, lately: I need to start CMP serveral times until it comes up finally. It's set to service and 25 seconds delay to start up.

This start up delay affects only startup on reset, or also the startup clicking it from the menu?

Bid for the wishlist:

when driving my car, I must tell CMP the time for BT, or I have to switch on BT off manually after leaving the car.

My motorola R3... has allows a temporary BT on, whith a lead time of about 60 seconds.

Without chatching BT-connection whithin that lead time, BT switches off.

If the BT-connection dropped and there was no reconnection whithin the lead time again, it would switch the BT-connectivity off as well.

This is very usefull: I don't have to estimate the driving time, respectively I don't need to remember to switch BT off after disconnection.

Best regards

Hi

Close CMP (menu / close) before deleting the database....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi

There isnt official api to open applets, just unofficial documentation and It may not work in all the devices. Anyway I will take a look at it....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi Ralf.

Yes, I ve to fix xml export/import :)

....and very good sugestion related with BT. I ve to research a little about BT api to receive events about connect/disconnect with a headset but is a nice way to disconnect :)

Dani.

pd: Hoy me voy a Asturias¡¡. Pero vienen mis suegros :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ULI22:
Yes, very good idea. In addition it would be very nice to turn BT on when ever the device gets connected to power supply. So I would never again have to turn BT on or off driving to/from work.

Manila Today

Just installed your fine software today to test, looks nice. Only issue i have is that it doesnt show up on Manila Today (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=508102) as a Today item - any ideas?

I use TouchFlo3 and use MTP to provide access to my today plugins and it would be great to have CMP showing there too!

CommMgrPro light

Dear Daniel,

I have been using CMP since early times. I bought it because it was able to control comunications and sounds according to the localization of my PDA or manualy.

Since then, CMP has evolve with many other functions, that makes it more complicate, heavy file and slowly.

I am sure that many CMP users are very happy and interested in the new functions. But probably some other, as me, are only interested in the original idea of CMP.

I wonder if it is possible for you to produce a light version, stable, fast, adapted to the new screen sizes (HTC HD) and fingerfriendly, but with the basic functions only.

I would like to point out that I own an htc HD with a cooked rom. Latest versions 2.5 and 2.6 do not work properly in my machine. Some time block the machine, some other I can select manually the profile, etc.

Please comments.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Martinhdk:
Hey D

Is our license only for one device?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TrueTenacity:
Daniel... Would it be possible for cmp to have a profile that is activated when the phone is plugged in as an ActiveSync device?

Then we can have a different profile with all the power using things turned off so the battery charges faster... and other peope can use it to turn on bt when plugged into a car kit...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Karl der Käfer:
I do agree completely.

Perhaps the further functions may split up in proper programs just when selected by the user and thus only be loaded when needed. If there ist no need for secretary, just don't load it. If I don't whish to track my movings by GPS, just do not load this utility at all etc.

Daniel, please resolve the time turnover at 0:00

First of all: I have my default set as 4:00 to 4:00 because I'm active at 24:00 and it's annoying (in spanish I'd use stronger words) that CMP is doing things in the mid time of my work.

We need to be able to fix the hour when the new "CMP" day will start.

And then there is an issue that I cannot understand at all:

My profile "USB modem" (3G+Internet Share) for tethering is set for 0:00 to 0:00. I lock on it on 23:00 for 4 hours or without limit. On 0:00 CMP some how "resets", the shared connection gets lost, the f***ing Active Sync starts up... Then I have to reactivate the Internet Share utility manualy.

I think there should be NO NEED to stop and restart a schedule just because it's the end of a day. Please, let the default schedule time (24 hours) be a continuous schedule, that only performs it's actions on entering or on exiting, but not every 24 hours.

Please put into the next beta as well that the start up delay will only be active on first startup after reset. It's quite creapy to wait 1 minute on every activation of CMP only because I want it to wait for 1 minute to start, after reset.

Regards, Ralf

AARRGG.... CMP does not seem to run on WVGA devices. I have Diamond2 and it wont load....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TrueTenacity:
Hey...

I've just installed the new WinMo 6.5 rom from BSB and now when i open up CMP, the option for Bluetooth says "NO"... any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi

Sorry for the delay. xda stopped to send me notifications so I didnt read them until now. Profiles activated by other events than time and location will be part of the new cmp based on rules. You will create rules and everything can trigger profiles, this is, location, time,battery level, ac plugged and others....

martin I use cmp in my x1 (800x480) so that isnt the problem. I will try to get a touch pro 2 and will test it.

And I am completly agree about cmp based on plugins that can be activated or deactivated so you can run your own customized light version of cmp.....

Should I buy touch pro 2 or wait for xperia x2? ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TrueTenacity:
Daniel, you tease us... When will we see the new version of CMP?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
soon.

The work is in progress. I am upgrading thre database to contain the rules engine. Of course the rules can be used with AND OR clauses. First I will convert current system to rules with location and time. Then I will add a few events like memory and battery to check all works ok. Then will be very easy more and more events to trigger profiles (incoming call, bt connected to headset, etc,etc). Of course, current calendar appoinments system will be converted to the new system....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Martinhdk:
Damn - my lovely Diamond2 - I find as good as any new device. In DK you get for 100 euro on a six month contract 60 euro a month = 48 hours talking time....:) Its so neat and snappy. WOW.

BTW - do I have to renew my registration (get a new licence), that might be causing it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
mmmm, what happens exactly when you run CMP?, a license dialog appears?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] igor_puchkov:
Hi!

I have a problem with your program.

My goal is disable ringtone and vibration on specific location and on specific time.

I have tried just to setup speaker volume to 0%, but in this case I can't listen music in my headphones.

Other way is to change a ringtone.

I have made a rule that change ringtone

Menu -> Add action -> On Enter -> Misc. -> RingTone -> Change Settings

Type: 'None'

Tone: 'None'

Volume: 5

Change:

Type: Checked

Tone: Checked

Volume: Checked

You know, HTC Diamond touch have 2 volume controls: first is for speaker and second one is for phone.

In this case your program set the volume of the phone to 0% and I can't hear an opponent durring call.

I don't know if I doing something wrong. My idea is change ringtone to 'None' on enter at specific time/location and then restore it on exit.

By the way, in ringtone selection dropdown, no way to select custom ringtones. How can I do it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi Igor.

Did you try to let the type to none but dont modify the other settings?

The ringtones dropdown is filled by windows with available tones. I guess windows uses the directory \windows\rings and others under \mydocuments...

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] igor_puchkov:
> Did you try to let the type to none but dont modify the other settings?

Yes, I did. Same result: it switch phone volume to 0.

> The ringtones dropdown is filled by windows with available tones.

> I guess windows uses the directory \windows\rings and others under \mydocuments...

It seems to be a bug.

My custom ringtones are situated in

"\Almacenamiento Interno\My Documents\Mis tonos de timbre\"

In windows configuration I can assign custom ringtones, but they does not apear in your dropdown.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Ok I will take a took at it. I use a standar api call to get the list of available tones. But I will take a deeper look at it...

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Martinhdk:
Hey - yup - I get the license popup, so I guess thats why.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eckki:
Hello,

What is my Problem? How get I CMP working on full screen?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Martinhdk:
When reporting issues or having problems is VERY important to know what your device is, settings and more if any relevance to find the proper answer.

I guess you have a VGA device and you are not using the VGA skin, but a QVGA skin==?

So try VGA :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Exactly :)

By some strange reason xda only notifies me 20% of the times a person posts here...... :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eckki:
sry. My Device is an HTC Touch Pro.

I had tryed all Skin,... but allways the same. I will try it again....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi

download only the vga cab file for the theme and install it or reinstall it. Then restart.....

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Martinhdk:
Do as me - stay around - hehe:D

BTW - has any reported bugs when CMP is in service mode. As I see things CMP wont start locked schedules if phone is turned off. ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Well

I usually use process system for a week, then service system, etc trying to get bugs. Some people have problems in service mode...but I havent detected any problem in my test devices......
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] igor_puchkov:
I have solved this putting ringtone "None.wav" (have no sound) into "\windows\rings". Also I have changed a rule just to switch ringtone and disable vibration, but leave intact a volume.

Hope, you understand a trick. Anyway, it is not expected behaviour.

There are two issues:

1. If I put custom ringtone in "\Almacenamiento Interno\My Documents\Mis tonos de timbre\ folder, it not appear in dropdown list, but it appear in windows configuration dropdown list.

2. When I change type of ringtone to "none" it change phone volume to 0, but expected just disable a ringtone.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Ok I will take a look at this. Have you tried (for testing) to set type to none in Phone program/options?. Probably the behaviour will be the same....

cmp popping up every 3 seconds

hey Dani

lastly cmp main screen came up every 3 seconds. Even when I was in the main menue. i tried with every thing, reinstall, allowing windows to kill cmp, etc.

then i made a decision: Hard reset. then i installed everything as before, with cmp being the last pgm to install.. everything ok. then i couldn't send mails and I remembered a patch that I forgot: the oficial wm6.1-smtp-patch, that resolves issues with smtp servers that remit to an alternative server. in fact, the 3 second cmp pop up came back. After deinstalling that patch, everything turned ok again with cmp. just no smtp mail send possible with terra.es and some other provider.

the strange thing is that I haven't had any problem whith this patch with earlier cmp versions, and until some weeks working on the actual beta.

regards

ralf
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Ops that is magic....mmm...I cant see any relation between the patch and cmp. I am going to search my old htc hermes to repeat your environment....

Error Opening Volume

Dear Daniel,

After taking backup from CommMgrPro and rebuilding my TyTn II, I decided to restore the old backup but I'm getting the following error:

I'm attaching the comm_mgr.db to check it.

PS: Please note that this is a serious issue for me because I did a lot of customization and it will be very difficult to do the customizations from scratch again.

Thank you,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi

I ve debugged the program with your database. Windows throws an error (87) when trying to mount the database. It seems the file isnt valid. Maybe there was some conversion when you copied from you storaga card. Do you ve any other database?

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lovebabyjing:
thanx,good job:p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] himatech:
Hi Dani,

No I don't have any other databases!

Is there a way for fixing the current DB?

Please note that this is not the first time that when I backup CommMgrPro it doesn't get backed up correctly and I had to repeat the action many times to make sure that the DB is not corrupted.

Is there a way to verify in the future that my DB has been backed up correctly from the first time?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi

Lets see. When you perform a backup cmp simply copy the current one(/CMP-DATA/comm-mgr.db) to other place. Maybe the destiny place has any problem (sd card). You can backup by your own closing cmp and copying the database to safe place (pc, etc). It seems the copy process failed.....

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] himatech:
So no way to recover the corrupted DB?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TrueTenacity:
Hey Dani...

Any news on the new version?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Probably not. Its like a exe corrupted. The system refuses to load it
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi

Working on it. Its a big change and no too much time with my regular job :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TrueTenacity:
No worries Daniel.... I'm sure it'll be worth the wait... :-D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] himatech:
Well, I do suggest fixing the "copy" function for the backup and restore features or remove it because it will be misleading.

Thanks,

Should CMP monitor and keep that state? / The interface

Dear Dani,

What is meant by the question "Should CMP monitor and keep that state?"?

I keep getting it when I configure an action that I want to be taken in the selected days of week.

In my opinion having this question in check box beside the delay in seconds will be better.

Another thing, the following scenario happens to me a lot:

I go to the actions section in the profiles screen.

Click on an action

About 4 buttons pop up to choose one of them

When I click by mistake somewhere else in the screen, they go to the back of the current window and I can not retrieve the buttons back and I can not close the window because it is waiting for my answer. In this case I have to reset the device.:confused:

Is there another way to change the interface of these buttons?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi

"Should CMP monitor and keep that state?" applies to some actions, like Wifi, bluetooth, speaker. So for example, if you set BT On and this option is selected then CMP will monitor BT state so if windows turn BT off (some ROM do it to save battery) then CMP will active it again. I agree to you about the check box instead the popup. The popup is the way used in the main screen and I use the same way to unify. But maybe would be better with a check box.

The bug you talk about is known. Thanks¡. Its in my bug list and will be fixed very soon. (Its no simple because in my test devices I cant repeat the issue but I will find a way to do it)

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rezzahuz:
Hi,

This is my first bug testing after using it for a few days. I'm using HTC Kaiser with AthineOS cooked ROM WinMo 6.1

1. After every soft reset, I have to exit CMP twice (Menu--> Exit) when it pops up automatically after a few seconds. Then only I am able to Hide/Minimized. If I don't do it, it will hang my device

2. In Secretarial section, there should also be an option to choose White List (I think currently it has Black List only). This would make it easier to just choose those that may be accepted e.g. esp. during roaming

3. Service mode doesn't work for me. When soft reset, it doesn't autoload CMP. What are the differences between it and process mode?

4. Changing profile manually from Today plugin doesn't work (yellow padlock icon). It only shows the various profiles but when I select, it doesn't change. The other thing it does is to default back to effective location-based Profiles when clicked if I previously changed it from Main scrren. What does the icon really do when clicked? Changing profiles only work from Main screen.

5. Why is there no option to choose places or profile after clicking the yellow padlock from Today plugin like the one available on Main screen? It only shows profile selections and time to activate.

6. Is there any possibility to include missed calls and message notifications reminder in future version?

7. I hope future version would also include detection of charging, cradle/sync and headsets/BT in auto-detect mode.

Hope the list is not too long.

In my night shcedule wifi is off. as phone. But sometimes windows decides to turn wifi on because there is a connection request. I ve debugged many times and has been discussed before. This was the main reason to create the option "keep state" so if windows decides to connect wifi then cmp turns it off again
