Hi.

I am making some changes to avoid the "Uninstall process incorrect". It seems Windows Uninstaller fails when there are many files. Its really incredible and documented in internet. Next vesion will be installed as a new program. If you cant uninstall current version please use a trial mode of SKTooks. I ve tested that It can uninstall it correclty. Using this program select "Not standard" system to uinstall. This way always works. Its incredible that microsoft dont do a decent installer/uninstaller that works for their cab rules:confused:

Hi

I've got two other issues:

1. I've got a cell which is sometime used where I work and where I live - do you see any chances that commmgrpro is checking the neighbour cells too to figure where it is (so it's more acurate) At least in theory every GSM phone is able to do that. But I've no idea whether you can get this infos.

2. Because of the problem with home/work I used the the unknow profile with time settings. So I've got something like:

00-07 hr On Enter Silent

07-08 hr On Enter Speaker on

08-17 hr On Enter Vibra

17-00 hr On Enter Speaker on

but somehow the phone doesn't not seem to switch on time - at least it's not changing the settings - in CMPs Main Screen (not settings) it's says the right time and place ("unknown") profiles...

Thank you

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi.

I ve changed the mobile operator (vodafone to movistar) and I ve the same problem. One (big) cell is shared between job and home. I ve to think about how to solve this situation. I cant "see" other tower cells because Its particular for each radio hardware and I would stick CMP to one OEM.

Talking about the second point. When CMP pass to a unknown cell It waits some seconds before perform the transition. Why?. When you hang a phone and in other situations you can see strange unknown cells (really virtual cells provided by operator) that would make cmp change the profile. Because of this CMP ensures that the new cell isnt virtual and waits some seconds to check again the unknown cell.

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CHfish:
Hi

"Nice" to hear that you're thinking about that problem with the big cell...

I don't know what to say about the 2nd problem... I just know the following (as an example): I had CommMgrPro to set the phone to vibra (on enter) from 8 to 17 o'clock - and on 8:30 I "heard" an incoming SMS...

I checked that CommMgrPro had the right profile (Unknown/Daily) - and that the settings in the profile (On enter: Vibra) are correct!

Thank you

Square Screen for 320x320

Hi,

I would like to know if there is a possibility to have the program in 320x320 Square design for devices like Samsung i780 !?

@danielherrero: It would be perfect if you can offer us a version with 320x320 square screen!

Warmst regards and thanx,

Tika

PS: I purchased "CommMgr Pro" last year and I still love it :) .
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi Tika.

There is a version for square devices. Just download the cab file CommMgrPro_V1.3.3_Theme_SkizZO_SQUARE.zip and install it :)

Greetings.

Dani

ps: But I dont know if samsung has implemented the localization api (cells, etc) in their devices....Could you check it?:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tika:
Hi Daniel,

the localization works fine with Samsung i780 ;) .

The Square-Skin works but it is too small (just the half of the screen). I think beacause i am using RealVGA!

Regards,

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

I didnt know there was RealVGA for 240x240 devices....Very interesting :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zhuyu_1981:
good this si good
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tika:
RealVGA works on Samsung i780 with 320x320 just perfect.

the device has native resolution of 320x320 but a System with 240x240 :rolleyes: . With RealVGA you can really use the 320x320 screen and it works just fine :D .

Regards,

Tika

Hi Daniel

I own a Samsung i780 and I would like to test you prog on my phone.

But i'm experiencing a problem similar to post #1777 page 178.

When I start the application I can see a red cross on the high right corner , but nothing more.

If I try to uninstall it I receive error, so I have to uninstall it disabling today plugin and removing the prog from autorun directory.

I installed spb mobile shell, cold be it the reason ? other people are using this software with spb mobile shell ?

Thx

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

Its possible because there are users with your device and using cmp without problems but its known the problems between spb products like pocket plus, who lives inside shell32.exe and other programs like cmp. you can google something like spb pocket plus lookups and you willl find more info. Maybe some kind of intereaction because both programns monitors the connections and other shared resources. Try to disable spb shell in your today screen to do a test... :)

Beta 1.4.0

Beta 1.4.0

1) Connections management has been ported from RAS api to IPHelper API. It should give compatibility with HTC touch, artemis, and others (i780, etc).

2) Minor.It has been detected the problem that caused corrupt unstall processed. It was caused when the uninstall process saved the registry settings. It was caused by policies. Because of it this happened only in some devices. This version hasnt that issue.

Regards.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] short/y:
W00t! When will this 1.4.0 available for download, Dani? Does it have the Bluetooth change/fix I requested? Just in case you don't recall what it is :) it was to NOT disable Bluetooth when in a call, even if a profile change occurs which disables Bluetooth.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Not availalable in current 1.4.0 but I am testing that request and will be out today or tomorrow(in a phone call dont turn bt off or switch band)...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
V1.4.0

This version already include when I talked before. If there is a call in progress and CMP tries to turn bt off or change the band (because of a delayed action) then the action isnt executed and will be performed 5 minutes after. Then the call status will be checked again, etc, etc.

Greetings
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pdagenius:
Am new to this thread. Have done a search looking for ways to change to a different profile depending on an appointment in my calendar. Possibly selected by a keyword such as "meeting" for instance.

Does v1.4 add any of this functionality. Do you have a longer term plan to add this it not?

Thanks for a great program.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
HI.

Yes. Change automatically profiles based on calendar (and other factors, like event (memory state, incomming call, get a email) is in the todo list and will be the next "big" step to be developed.

Re: V1.4.0

So, I installed 1.4.0 yesterday and have been running it ever since. Some unanticipated benefits: 1) PocketWeather now updates quicky and 2) I'm not losing as much memory as I used to.

In the case of 1, PocketWeather used to take as much as 45 minutes to update 11 cities. Now it takes somewhere between 2 and 5 minutes, depending on what else if going on. I'm assuming this has something to do with the connections management change?

For 2, I used to lose somewhere between 3MB and 6MB of memory per day. I've had to reboot at least once per day, sometimes twice. Since last night, I've only lost about 512K of memory.

Oh, yeah, the Bluetooth issue is fixed, too, Dani. Great job!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Nice :)

Keep me reported if you see any issue....

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
There was a memory leak with the memory helper api so v1.4.1 out....

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] short/y:
She's a beauty, Dani! I downloaded and installed 1.4.1 on Friday and it's been working fine ever since. And the Bluetooth change works just fine, too. Thanks again!

Hi Daniel

Since a soft reset, my registred version of commgrpro doesn't want to start, it keeps asking me to enter the licence and when I restart the application to check the licence, I've got a message like : "your version is registred but not activated, please contact the support for activation."

This is happening on a 1.3xxx version, I tried to install the new 1.4, but the behavior is the same.

any tips for this issue?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi.

Which is your owner name and password? (send it to herrero.daniel@gmail.com)

It means that the activation code is correct but the server doesnt recognize it as a valid license....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TROTAMAR:
This is happening to me as well, :)

As I have change my ROM last weekend, I was thinking that it was due to the new ROM, and I have done many HardReset and ROM changes since the weekend, but as says Vietk, it CMP keep asking for the reg code, although I have upgraded to 1.41 and downgraded to 1.3.... many times also.

Waiting for a solution, Daniel
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi.

I ve sending you your unlock file. CMP needs two things to be fully activated.

1) Serial number acording to your owner name.

2) Crypted unlock file. CMP tries to get this file automatically during one month connecting to CMP server. The server contains all the registered owners and will send the correct and only crypted file to each device. If this file continues missing then you will see the message "registered but no activated. Contact support". If you see this message and you are legal owner then contact me sending me your information and I will send you the crypted file that works ONLY for your account.

Sorry for the problems. The war against crackers is hard. I ve to change the system with each new version ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
New system for "Close Program" action....

Hi.

Some peope was having issues with the action "Close Program", specially if CMP had to close several program at same time or very big programs, like TomTom, Sygic, etc. I ve changed the way to do it and now works correctly in my HTC and samsung devices. I would be nice if some could help me to test. The test would be very simple.

1) Install 1.4.2b1

2) Create a test profile. On start add many "Open program" actions (for example, for IExplorer, File Explorer, calculator, etc). On end add the same "Close Program" for those programs.

3) Lock the profile and finally unlock it. All those programs should be closed in 5 or 6 seconds....

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kssxs:
Daniel,

I'm using v1.4.1 and have found a couple of issues/things:

On the 'Cell History' page, if I try to 'Assign' an unknown cell ID, my Home profile doesn't show up in the list. I have 2 profiles, Home and Work, and Work shows up, but Home doesn't.

As a suggestion, you might want to rename the 'Main' menu item to 'Options', because the word 'Main' is kind of misleading. Selecting it just takes you to the Options pages anyway, and you could rename those pages within the Options called Options(1) and Options(2) to Misc(1) and Misc(2).

Also, the word 'incomming' is misspelled... it's supposed to be 'incoming'.

Just a couple of things I noticed so far... :D

Thanks for a great program!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:

CMP and calendar events

Hi.

I am developing the integration between CMP and calendar. Ideas are wellcome.

1) General filters. For example, lock a profile when occurs a calendar event with a word, like meeting, and unlock when It finishes.

2) Integration with Pocket calendar with a new menu item. In this way you can edit any calendar event (using your calendar progam) but there will be a new menu entry called "CMP" that will allow you to lock a profile for any calendar event.

Greetings.

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

no functional requests this time, ... :)

but for me it's very important to have a small and effective program. So, if possible try to implement such additional features as "plugin" or something like that. The user should decide if he wants to install additional functionality or not.

Another solution may be to offer different versions of the program:

1. a lean one with optimal speed and minimal memory consumption

2. a full blown version with all features

best regards

ULI
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Thanks ULI. I ve this things on my mind. In fact latest version are divided on DLL binaries. For example, if you dont enter on the option dialogs then CommMgrProDLL.dll (1 MB) isnt loaded. But if enter and exit then is unloaded on runtime....My intention is to reduce memory footprint at minimum. We will talk about it soon :D

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kssxs:
Hey I couldn't find this file, until I found the CMP_Data folder and found comm_mgr.db instead, lol... I'll e-mail it to you...

Thanksss, Analyzing.....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Problem detected and solved. Thanks for the info¡¡. I am working in the integration between CMP And Pocket Calendar but I will post a version with this issue fixed today later....

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

This change should fix the issue. I ve tried it with your database and works correctly. I wasnt detected before because It only happens in a few situations, when CMP changes the unknown place from 0 to other value, 4 in your case. Its tipical if you use the export/import xml feature. Please try it and tell me if you see any problem.

Greetings.

Integration between CommMgrPro and Pocket Calendar

Hi.

The first part of the integration between Pocket Calendar and CMP is complete, this is, general rules.

You can define rules setting words to find in the subject of an calendar appointment that will lock a profile. The profile will be unlocked when the appoinment finishes.

For example, I can define a rule with the words "bed,meeting" and the profile "Silence". In this way, the next calendar appointments will lock the "silence" profile:

1) bed

2) I go to bed

3) My BED is white

4) Meeting with Mr Smith

5) Prepair the meeting

..and so on.

If some needs a special request this is the perfect moment.

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
And this is the cab.....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TROTAMAR:
Could you do the same but working with categories instead of Subject?

It is a nice idea, anyway.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
No problem....I will add a radio button to set if you want to use the subject or Categories field....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wookienow:
Hi,

Is it possible to have a feature to set the phone volume as an action. At this stage it only allows you to have on or off and not a % as with other options.

Cheers Wookienow.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi.

Do you mean PDA volume or phone ring volume?

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Now you can set if CMP should search on "subject" field, "categories" field or both....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
....and this is how the integration with Pocket Calendar for individual appointments is done. I ve added a new menu entry for Pocket Calendar and a COM server so you can define which profile lock for a specific calendar appointment. Obviously this system has preference against general rules....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dirk L. A.:
Hi Dani

Is this integration OS version and language dependant? On my french WM5 nothing is showns in the calendar menu.

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

No, but I havent upload this version yet. I am testing it. I will upload it today, probably :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Ok. The beta is ready.

To attach a profile to an appointment open Pocket Calendar and open the appointment. Then select menu/CommMgrPro. Then you will see all the available profiles. Finally select one. Once this happens you can see it on the Calendar tab con CMP and the user can detach the profile using the "detach" option in the calendar tab.

Next official version will be 2.0 because of the big number of changes added on 1.4.2.

Please test it and if there arent issues I will make it official in two days.

Regards.

Hi Dani,

I have possibly found (an old) bug, at least on my device:

When you delete one by one all the cells associated with a profile and at the end there is only one entry in LAC left. This entry becomes strange characters and unreachable.

Also one question: why when I haven't set active refresh, I still get some red entries in the locations and not only blue ones?

Thanks

Dirk
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Thanks Dirk. I am going to check the cell issue right now.

CMP refreshes the current cell althought you havent set "automatic refresh" in some situations. For example, when CMP is starting, or when you click on refresh button, or other situations when CMP refreshes all the component's state....

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Thanks Dirk. Issue fixed...

Rules to activate profiles

Hello Daniel,

it is a great idea to activate profiles depending on calendar appointments. I think it would be a great improvement if you can also select the status (busy, free, tentative, away) of the appointment. I think 4 checkboxes for the 4 possible states will exactly do what I mean. Maybe there are others who will find this feature useful.

Best regards,

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

I think Its a good idea. I suppose you talk about, for example, to activate a profile if the current appointment is busy, for example, isnt it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] misch:
Hi Daniel,

that´s exactly what I mean.

Michael
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Ok no problem.....:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] short/y:
Dani,

Hae you ever considered saving the current setting of WiFi/Speaker/Bluetooth/etc when an action changes it and offering a "Restore" action? Right now most of my exit actions for things like meetings and movies restore the speaker to what I usually have it set to -- 20%. With a "restore" capability, I could set my "Meeting" profile to select an exit action of "Restore" for speaker, Wifi and even radio and have the phone go back to the state it was in before entering the meeting.

Make sense?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Thanks!

Not only makes sense sense but its a nice idea.Someone in the past suggested it only for the ring tone but now I am going to do it for all the all the actions. Its the next thing that I will do so It will ready in a few days with other few actions (sync exchange server, auto reponse call phone, etc

BT not on when calendar causes switch

I've got a Car profile that turns the phone on, turns Bluetooth on and raises the speaker volume. If I lock that profile manually all actions are executed but if that profile is locked because of a calendar entry all actions are executed but Bluetooth isn't turned on. The log looks like this (from most recent to least recent)

06:45:10 Changing Bluetooth manager to Off state

06:45:10 Changing Speaker Manager to On state

06:45:10 Executing end actions for Car-Default(5)

06:45:10 Changing Phone Manager to On state

06:45:10 Changing Speaker Manager to On state

06:45:10 Executing begin actions for Home-Weekday(2)

06:45:09 Executing end actions for Home-Weekday(2)

I've got a calendar entry whose subject is "Commute to work" that starts at 6:45AM and ends at 7:25AM and a generic CMP rule that sets Car profile if the word commute is in the subject. Prior to 6:45AM, CMP is in the Home profile. Like I said, manually locking the profile to Car executes all 3 actions.

Suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi. I am going to check it. Can you send me your DB?. The only feature related with disable BT Changes is when a phone call is in progress but I suppose you werent calling. Please send me your db to use exactly your schedules....:)

Hi. I ve done two tests without luck.

1) Selecting the profile manually. It works, like your test.

2) Creating a appointment commute and letting execute it.

ps. There is a issue I ve found. If you create a appoinment that will be executed in less than 5 minutes then Windows doesnt notify to other programs about that appoinment....althought if you create a appoinment that will be whose initial date is before than now then the programs will be notified correctly

MainWindow Title and nothing else...

Hi Daniel,

I was working on your application and then left the mobile for a minute, so the screen went off. When I turned it back on, the CommMgrPro stopped responding.

I tried to press the assigned hardware button or running it from the Programs menu but nothing happened except the title "MainWindow" in the top of the screen beside the start button. I had to soft reset...

I think this is a bug.

I'm using TyTn II.
