ALPHA Testing -> So far so good. I did notice that if I wanted unassign(Deallocate) a LAC entry, I had to choose that mode or it would get an error deleting message record.

Now - since my scenerios are getting complicated and multiple settings are set, what is the easiest way to see what is actually invoked. I am getting so eager to have a "Settings currently invoked" screen. Maybe I already have that now I just not used to seeing meaning that I can click CMP, then the ICON(place) in the middle and then ACTIONS from the popup. As long as I am not drifting out of this place, I think I can see the intended actions that should be turned on.

I like it. I hope Tony is looking at too since he got this design going for us.

Hi. Very soon there will be a log plage where you can see the last actions executed and Its result. This results will become events in the "event-rule-actions" system that I will begin to program very soon :)

Hello Dani,

tonight i had a download issue.

I activated download/install in the "about"-window.

CMB worked aparently ok, but downloaded the square-sheme-file, and not the qvga-sheme-file.

As there is no chance to choose the file, I assume that .29 had a bug identifying the corresponding download file.

Now I'll look for it on cmp home page.

Saludos

Ralf
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Thanks Ralf. I'll take a look at this. Download latest version from forum because that version has usability changes.

Really cmp doesnt choose which cab has to be downloaded. cmp opens a URL (servlet)sending its version, device name and resolution and server answer with the download link. But this night server was down from 02:30 to 7:45 (microsoft automatic update -> shutdown :mad: )
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dirk L. A.:
Running latest version since yesterday evening, so far no problem. And yes, the new layout is easier to use.

I'm still a lucky guy running a Trinity without problem (still no need to press On to have it apply the actions, it's fully automatic).

The issue with the Today plugin refresh seems solved on my device.

I will wait a bit for the stability because with previous version after 1 day CMP was a kind of "freezed", not updating cell/LAC anymore. To solve this issue I had just to exit CMP and start it again.

Still great piece of software and very usefull.

Hello, any update on this? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dirk L. A.:
Hi Dani,

I had this afternoon the USB error (dialog box asking for a driver). I switched off the phone using CMP. About 1 hour later when I wanted to switch it on again, it was displaying this error. I had to soft reset to get the phone functionality back.

That's the 2nd time I see this since I have installed CMP, I never had this before installing/using CMP.

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

When you saw the dialog box ...then you turned off the phone using cmp? or when you were turning off the phone using cmp then appeared the dialog box? :D . Anyway, while I try to repeat it, if you see again please check you memory status and cmp memory usage and try to remember is which state was your device. I am sure Its a very easy thing to fix. The problem is to find how to repeat it.

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dirk L. A.:
Hi Dani

I turned the phone off using CMP. When I wanted to turn it on again, it was display the USB related message. The phone was runing for more than 24 hours without reset. I tried again this evening, but no error this time.

Dirk
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Karl der Käfer:
hallo dani,

three items for the whish list for Reyes:

first:

could you reduce the clicks to lock to a favoutite profile/place?

When I start driving and forgot to lock on "car" profile, i'd really apreciate a one-click-lock.

p.e. a clickbox on the main screen that will activate and lock a favourite and if already activated and locked, dislock and come back to the earlyer profile?

second:

when locking to a profile comes up a warning. could you implement a "don't show this warning again"-check box?

third:

perhaps it would be interesting to have a selective "on enter/exit enable/disable radio data comunication" as per the different connections defined, as for ex. internet, vpn or mms.

estaré la semana que viene en gijón. siiiidraaaaa ;-)

Hi Dani,

I couldn't reproduce the USB error so far, my device is runing without reset since thursday 6 pm.

A question: is the today plugin restarting automatically CMP? I shut it down (exit in the menu) and after awhile it was back again!

Dirk
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
HI Ralf

1) Yes. I want to use "hide Button" as "shortcut button". User will associate any action to this button, for example, lock a profile or any other action. I had thought in that action "lock profile". Any ideas for more shortcut actions?

2) Yes, of course.

3) Good idea. Right now cmp disables "all" the connections but I will add a dialog to select which connections should be disabled.

Que suerte¡¡¡¡ Me encanta la sidra, mucho mas que el champagne :)

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

No. But probably bofore you exit cmp there is some schedule planned (Windows Time Notificacion) so when the time arrives windows awake cmp, and if cmp isnt running then windows starts cmp. If this is a problem I can try to do something to avoid it.

Now I am working in "auto refresh" option. It will very useful for some trinity user (those whose devices doesnt refresh if suspended) and some gigabyte user (location is only updated if the user press refresh button). If user select "auto refresh" option then will have to select the period, in minutes, and "awake if suspended" check. If selected the last option then cmp will awake device if suspended. But only to idle cpu mode. In this mode cpu runs to very low speed, screen keeps off and device suspends again when the "awaker" thread is blocked.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ULI22:
Hello Dani

Just tried your software and I'm very impressed. I'm shure this will be a "must have" !

There are two issues I found:

1. I'm using "SPB Pocket Plus" and I don't see CMP on my Today screen. I entered it in SPB PP but of course I get the "start Icon" only

2. Your application is opening the input-keyboard as soon as I enter an options-dialog (very convenient) but it is not closing again when coming back to Main-screen...

Hi. Version 0.9.0.9 out.

I wasnt going to free this release so soon because I wanted to include more features but some people have emailed me requesting this feature. Its the posibility to download and install the latest version using the device. In this way pc connection is no needed to install latest version.

Version V0.9.0.9 (2007-03-29).

1) To avoid confussions, when a new place and time frame are created then the actions associated to them take the current values of Bluetooth, wifi, speaker, band.....instead of taking default fixed values (BT off, WIFI off, 2G and connections off)

2) When a new schedule is created you are prompted to customize the actions. Many user didnt know you had to do it.

3) Option to download and install latest version. In about page you can see the latest version and can dowload and install it.

Greetings
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] V J:
I have downloaded and will install it later today.

Just curious: is it possible to launch a program (or a mortscript) as an action?

The reason is that I have my my own profile system with call filtering based on MortScript. It would be nice to be able to launch a script (and thus activate my profile) using your application. :)

Jörg
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Sure. You can launch any file in the same way you click a file in file explorer. So you can open mp3 files, exe files, links, scripts..........
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] skyhook8:
Don't know if this has already been covered but I was noticing that my WiFi kept turning on and wireless would switch to 3G on it's own. Narrowed the event to plugging into USB. Then, I got my new wall charger and it did the same thing when I plugged it in. Weird. I uninstalled and it quit. For now I'm running BandSwitch since that's really the only functionality that I need (or know that I need). :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi. This can be caused by two reasons:

1) In the current place and current time-frame you ve selected (in tab "actions") the option "On AC full power". This option will turn wifi on and will switch to 3G when the device is plugged.

2) You ve assigned a time frame to the place "Unknown" and have selected the previous option. When you assign a time frame to "default" place then this profile is applied when the current place is unknown.

Hope it helps...

Well...I got my 750 today. I copied the latest(v0.9.0.9) cab over to my 750 and attempted to install. Unfortunately the installation indicates that this was unsuccessful. I didn't even get the option to choose where I wanted to store(Device or Card)...ha...I don't have a card...that explains that piece I suppose. I am not sure how to debug from this type of message. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

--Mick
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
That is good ;)

It closes many "error ways" because windows didnt try to execute it. Windows simply couldnt copy it in your device or create the registry values. Two questions?

1) Is bandswitch installed ?

2) Could you tell me the size of the cab installer?

Thanks

I'm making some icons... maybe if U have an idea..

However when i install Comm Mgr Pro on my hermes WM6 LVSW, the phone cannot start.. it asks me the pin & doesn't attach to the network.

idea!! : maybe i have a new version of comm manager (8 buttons?)

Ps: the icon doesn't go well... it have to be made in another way..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Basically this is a FRESH install on a FRESH(second app installed). First app was Phone Alarm. The sized of the .CAB is (1,289,457 bytes).

I used it for a week and it was fine, I liked the ease of use. Unfortunately it started crashing randomly and I had to uninstall it. It showed an error about memory.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
No problems now, i've inserted a wrong pin into it and blocked my SIM!!

However i don't know why the pin is needed... now works.

4 the graphic i can do something... but:

You have to consider to resize all images removing the one-color-area around the image which contains text (the text can be included into images). So or images will be bigger, or the windows that contains it must be smaller (and possibly all WHITE)

In this way i can create an "icon mosaic", putting the icons near between they, i (and other skinners) can compose the background image/shading with icons on the top (like phoneAlarm)

Try to overwrite & show the icon of precedent page into the program... it's not continuous with other icons...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi.

Did you enter you pin code in options page?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
I hope latest version are "memory errors" free. I havent seen anyone days ago.....But please, If someone sees one then report me to fix it
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Nice idea.....:D

Size images will be configurated for each skin using a XML file. A Layout manager will distribute the icons on the fly knowing the buttons size, sreen size, etc

Hi.

Version V0.9.0.10 out(2007-03-30).

1) Simple today plugin show all the information in today window and cell-lac information.

2) Change in wifi controller

3) Please reset after install to activate the plugin

4) This update needs to be downloaded to the computer and then copy it to the device (so dont download it over the air)

5) SIM Pin users. Please remember to enter it (them) again

Today's icon are the same that the ones used by the application but smaller. (I know it, uggly). But next version will be prettier....

By now the pluggin isnt customizable by I am working on a new version than allows choose witch elements to include.

App. Idea?

Hi Daniel and all else in the thread. I understand the priority is on wrapping up a stable release; however, I had an idea.

Sometimes I find myself wanting to charge my phone for a few minutes. It would be nice if it didn't switch to the AC connection settings.

Instead of tying AC to a location what if there was a separate AC profile?

Perhaps there can be a toggle box included on the main screen...or replace the "hide" button (I feel this a bit redundant as the x button hides it no?)...with a function to activate or deactivate the AC Profile?

While I am wishing...:D...as you can choose a time limit for other items (i.e. 3G, WiFi, etc.) perhaps the behavior for the AC "switch" can be the time selected...after you are off AC power?

What does everyone think?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Yes, you re right. If the check is selected then 3G is switched and It takes some seconds (double in WM6). So I was a thinking about a page, accesible for example from "Hide" Button, witch push state buttons, that is, buttons than can be pressed or unpressed (on / off). And It would be usefull for many aspects of the program. Any idea?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi Uli.

Thanks for your comments. Integration with pocket plus and spb shell are some of the "to-do" items and will be done soon.

Talking about keyboard you are right. In my obsession to allow "no-keyboard" devices to be able to write I think I ve exceeded it :). I will remove keyboard when coming back to main screen.

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tony.wheeler:
Dani,

Following on from Ralfs suggestion and my earlier ones on this I would suggest that you amend the main screen so that on selection of the place icon/image a pop-up appears as below. This would show the current profiles available (but you might need to limit this display for usability) with the current active locked profile with a border as below - in this case 'Car'. The top 'Auto' mode would allow CMP to run in Location Mode according to Cell ID/LAC. The bottom icon/image would not change the selected mode but simply take the user to the settings tabs (Main, Profiles, ....).

In all other regards CMP would work as now. This would provide simple 2-click mode/profile change capability as requested - and be easier to use. Of course you could simply provide a pop-up text menu of all the current profiles displayed purely as text - this might even be more usable because there are so many icon options that it is not easy to know which is which and many are really not all obvious. Users might forget what the 'green eyed monster' icon actually meant - whereas if you displayed 'Mother-in-Laws House' ;) (for example) then it would be obvious!

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi Tony.

Thank you very much for these nice source of suggestion. I ve wrote down all of them and will be implemented as soon as posible.

Thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi.

New Alpha version solving some problems.

1) Some devices have problems dispatching location updates. (ie, some htc trinity devices doesnt update locations automatically if device is suspended. All gigabyte devices doesnt update update locations automatically, suspended or not). I ve prepared a solution with two modes. For both, user must specify "refresh timeout". When cmp refresh locations is similar to push "Refresh button". CMP request RIL to update this information

a)Dont Awake device. This solution refreshes location while the device isnt suspended. Basically Its a "while loop" with a "::sleep" inside.

b) Awake device if suspended. The system used is the same like other cmp notifications. CMP tells Window to be notified each x minutes to refresh the location info. If device is suspended then device is set to "idle state". This a low cpu level, screen off. When cmp refreshes the location info ( < 500 ms) device is suspended again. To let you "know" your device I ve put a new test menu option called "Location Report". This report shows information about location updates:

1) Manual Refresh. How many times cmp has refreshed this information explicitally. (push refresh button or "auto refresh" system).

2) Automatic notifications: How many times the radio rom has notified CMP about location updates spontaneously. keep in mind that this counter is set to 0 so only will be increased if you move away. If you see a value > 0 then your cmp gets ril notifications.

Please dont use these systems if you havent those problems because It isnt necesary.

I ve fixed too a problem downloading new vesion. (wrong resolution cab)

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Karl der Käfer:
I love to hear that my ideas do find friends.

just for instance: I feel 'code' is too generic and isn't saying anything. 'code' means just 'sequence of symbols'. I'd apreciate calling things by its name. Say 'pan al pan y agua al agua' ;-> . Stay calling it place, or perhaps location or perhaps antena, and therein place/location/antena may be identified by lac or cell. Just saying 'code' won't transmit this idea to a new user, so it will not be too intuitive.

for all the other items I pretty agree with you.

by the way, referring to profile lock: what you call 2-click is 3-click, because first I have to launch cmp's main window and that's already a click.

best regards to all of you

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Landy_2002:
-Great, great Dani... at the end, in this way my Trinity can awake after suspend mode, and then update cell and make action related to that place.-

i was afraid about a big battery drain for this, but for now and with 1 min. refresh time battery is ok. I need testing with a few places more but your soft is getting better every second.

A big, big thanks to you Dani.-

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Happy to listen it, Landy. Report me any issue about it (battery live, etc.....)

ps. If there is a problem and one refresh isnt done then isnt scheduled next refresh so I am doing a change to make this system very robust
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tony.wheeler:
Dani,

Noticed that my Vario II fails to recognise when I have reached the place 'Home' when I have been elsewhere. The device had been placed in the suspend state by me pressing the power button as usual (not fully off) and I noticed that the 'one enter' action (Vibrate) for Home did not trigger till I turned on the device. Is this a general issue for CMP? Do I need to install the new version?

Are there any devices that can send notification of cell/LAC change to CMP when device is suspended?

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ULI22:
Hi Dani

just another suggestion:

in Time Limit dialogs I got the choice of custom where I can enter individual durations. I want CMP to remember at least my last entry for future reuse.

Optimum would be CMP would remember, let's say the last 8 entries... :)

Hey Friends,

just wondering about LAC and cells ....

Are cell codes uniques all over a country or only within one specific LAC?

Are LAC codes uniques all over the world, or Europea Union, or only nation wide?

Are cell codes and LAC codes uniques all over the active providers, or do they give these codes individually without regarding the codes of other provider's antennas?

Best regards

Ralf
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Good idea. Added in "to-do" list
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi.

I am not completely sure but I thing these codes :) are operator dependent....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Karl der Käfer:
So we should perhaps have the posibility to say:

LAC 3021 / Cell *all* referring to a location by LAC and

LAC 3022 / Cell 1024, LAC 3022 / Cell 1027 etc. for all specific cells

LAC like prefix, and *all* for LAC orientated places.

Thats just to avoid that the cell 1024 in my home town and home cell would coincide with any other cell 1024 in any other town.

Regards

Ralf
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
the question is......one cell can be present in two lacs?:D I ve two sims from diferent operators (movistar and vodafone) and codes are diferent...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Landy_2002:
-The cell is only network dependent, ..., renember the old times with Nokia "Net monitor", all the neightbourg cells was different with one or another operator.

-The operator assigns the cell to the network for each zone, in the way that each operator´s antenna works with that cells for every area. In the same way if one operator have more cells in the same area this will do that the coverage be better than other with less.-

Cell Spotting

Dani,

Are you aware of any websites that provide a mapping guide to match Cell IDs to location? I found this one and wonder if there are others? http://www.cellspotting.com/webpages/cellspotting.html If we had a database of the actual location then it would of course be possible to identify your actual location. I know that this is nothing new and there are web sites that already allow you to plot the location of a cell phone on a map (see http://www.mobilelocators.com/how.php) I gather that the UK and Germany are perhaps the only countries to allow web use of this technolgy. If these companies are able to plot the locations of phones then clearly someone must have a database of Cell IDs matched against locations - if you could get that then CMP could be used as a basic navigation and reporting device.

I am sure you have considered this but I'd welcome your thoughts. Perhaps someone out there has access to the databases used and could share it? Orange in the UK clearly advertise there database here: http://www.business.orange.co.uk/servlet/Satellite?pagename=Business&c=OUKPage&cid=1135953584929

Note: Just found this: http://client338.lab.telin.nl:8080/wasp/jsp/CellStats.jsp - wonder if there are more?

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi Tony.

On march we talked much about it. Moisha was specially interested on it. There were many ideas. Even make a "virtual CMP" comunity. Very soon CMP will allow to send changes of location to a server (URL) so you could, for example, register your friends so you could track them using a web browser or even CMP. The problem was he didnt find a "universal cell map". So, for example, depending on the operator the cells are different. But any suggestion will be very appreciated :)

hi

I got the last night

It shows a Notification error with CMP then behide that was a USB Message, it also had the backlight off and i couldnt get it to show untill i had closed CMP

might be to do with not resetting my Hermes for a few days, i will keep an eye on it might be a bug that only shows after a few days with out a reset.

seems odd that i couldnt get the back light to show up till CMP was exited
