Dani - I installed 1.1.2b a couple a days ago. I noticed yesterday that my Call Forwarding has stopped working. I don't see in the Log where this is even being triggered as it should be when reaching a certain time while I am in a specific profile. I did try the TEST function of CF and it works fine if that helps. Just the Aujomated piece doesn't work for me anylonger.

On the other side of things, I have not had any lockups or USB pop-ups either since upgrading to the latest release posted in this thread.

Hi there Daniel. I'm using v1.1.2b and I've just got a "Notification Error" and a "USB" popup. These popups happened some time after I switch off TyTN's phone function.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Blowfish64:
Hey Daniel,

Any answer to my question?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kdx200:
hey blowfish, i think dani is working in something like you are looking for...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Ok. Other parameter to include : Space between the image and the limit of the button (and can be zero)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thineight:
Hi there, Very very nice job!

The "learning time" feature is very useful! Sometimes phone discovers new cell (I already configured 4-5 cells) and switches to unknown profile :(

* Another useful feature would be a week schedule of the task, e.g. simply checkboxes (Mon, Tue, Wed, etc), in order to exclude certain behaviour in some days.

For example, I set the device to do this every working day (before I found all 2G and 3G cells and placed as "HOME")

h 6.40 -> switch to 3G

h 6.43 -> connect to internet and check if my work train have delay form Railway site

h 6.46 -> disconnect and back to 2G again to save battery

I want to do this all days except Saturday and Sunday :D

* Bug (?): on exit program, It doesn't save the connection configuration (enabled and disabled), when I start the Commmgrpro all connections are set to enable (green)

Bye, have a good weekend :cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi. Yes, I know it;) Apply different schedules according to week day is a "to-do" item. In my case I ve scheduled a "day frame" at 07:00 playing a song and today It woke up me :mad:

Sure, I will develop it :D

Connections issue. Maybe this is the cause.

1) You set connected or disconnected to "Connections" item for the current schedule

2) You go the connections tab a disable some connection (turn red "enable" column).

3) close the app

4) Open the app: If the current schedule has the item "connections" on connected or disconnected state then CMP will enable any configured connection.

Maybe the people like a different behaviour for this feature.....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
oops hehe i've seen now that the "ON" is not alligned in all the images... and also the font size need to be fixed.. !!

However.. danielherrero, what do you mean with "_dis.png" & "_des.png" ? des=disabled and dis=unavaiable?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Yes but dont worry about it because in the xml file identifiers will be numbers and you can put any name. For example

<!-- 6 bluetooth ON image ->

<image id="6" filename="mycustomBTOnfile.png"/>
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] OdeeanRDeathshead:
The today screen utilization is not good. Your item flickers violently when redrawing. Also it forces the today screen to scroll back to starting position. You should double buffer the items window and draw it yourself.

(I still love the functionality and this version has not been crashing:) )
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
I've finished nearly all images... miss the "places_img" & all those < 48x48 px.

Stay tuned!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
yes yes...As I told It was a first attemp that I did in 2 hours....because someone needed "urgently" to see cell id in today, Any way very soon double buffering "antiflickering" will be ready soon .

pd: OdeeanRDeathshead your criticism is good because make CMP better. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
place_... are the images that appears when assigning a Image to a place....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moisha:
Very nice, Daniel !

Just got a chance to install.

notes/suggestions:

Having more granular settings like in CellProfiler would be nice ( including the exit profiles )

text entry fields focus does not active the keyboard.

Would be nice to have a "quick mapping mode", where/when I could single click and enter just a name for the place/cell/lac

@SkizZO

your theme looks very nice
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Thanks for the suggestions:rolleyes:

These items are up in my "to-do" list and will be ready very soon:

1) Send sms and mail

2) Volume of speaker (not just on/vibrate/off)

3) Ringtone

4) Execute not only one file but more (ilimitated)

5) More ideas are wellcome.

Tomorrow I go holidays one week to Santander but I will try to continue developing some time each day.

Today I ve developed double buffer system (anti flickering) for today-plugin and CMP main panel buttons but I will include it in the new version that will have the first version of skin engine (Be ready SkizZo :D ). This will be in few days.

Greetings
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
... 44 icons into 300 KB (307.200 byte) on the disk.. now missing only the place icons, and have to fix an issue with shadow into numeric icons & close button.. it is cutted.. so or i change the light point (the shadov goes down) or the image size.. (i hope the first)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Nice. To make transparent buttons CMP takes the color of the pixel x=0,y=0 and uses this color as "transparent color". One thing more. Windows CE dont use "Alpha transparent" feature...... Microsoft doc says...

"If the hSrc parameter is a HBITMAP, then that bitmap must not be selected into a device context at the time TransparentImage is called.

The TransparentImage function supports all formats of source bitmaps. However, for 32-bpp bitmaps, it just copies the alpha value over.

If the source and destination rectangles are not the same size, the source bitmap is stretched to match the destination rectangle.

TransparentImage does not mirror a bitmap if either the width or height, of either the source or destination, is negative. "

SkizZO, Hope it helps
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moisha:
So I am in CELL mode.

I have a 3 rooms and each room seems to registers a cell. All 3 somehow got associated with my Home profile ( the only one I have so far ).

Would be nice to have phone switching to quiet "bedroom" profile, when I'm there sleeping, loud profile when I am in my living room watching TV or listening to music and Wi-Fi or BT to auto sync-up with the desktop in my office.

This app rocks. The possibilities are endless ... loving it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Daniel...lastest roll out installed on my 750. Not sure what was wrong with the previouse CAB. Now to go play...More later.

--Mickey
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Couple of observations with my 750. I believe this has to do with the 240x240 screen. The CMP screen seems to want to overlap pieces and parts. The Place description(HOME as I call it) covers up 0-101-0(not sure what this is) but after the numbers change, then it is ok..So this is only temporary.

Also when on the DIALOG tab, the screen is too big for my device. I can see buttons below that I cannot get to. Need to resize for smaller devices or add a scroller.

Next...No WIFI on this device so it would be nice not to have the button. I am afraid to see what it does as it could potentially crash.

Next...The scheduling of PLACEs...I am assume this to be like a profile(settings like 2G, sound, etc?) should probably have the ability to set by DAYs and TIME. That way I can set a WORK profile for just the days that I plan to work. CELLIDs may cover this situation but not sure yet since I weak coverage in certain places.

Two requests: One for changing PLACEs/Profiles based on Calendar entries...if for example I am in a Meeting from calendar then I set it to <busy>. would be nice to have a MEETING place for that(ie. vibrate, etc).

Second request is for having different volumes for places. Night time, I like to run off notifications volumes like SMS and EMAIL but would want the PHONE volume the highest(to wake me up if needed).

--Mickey
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ahlok_hk:
Just to remind you in case you forgot. As you said in the previous post. there should be a 6) call forwarding(unconditional, no answer, busy, unavaliable) in your todo list.. :p

Thanks. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi. Nice to see It finally worked in your 750. Its very important for me because I dont own a 240x240 device so your feedback will be nice. I only cant test over square vga emulator. I ve to adapt the screens to this resolution, dont doubt it

It doesnt matter 750 hasnt wifi. CMP should detect it. Is your wifi button gray?, my old s200 hasnt wifi and this situation is detected so button turns gray and disabled (Band button too).

One important thing in the "to-do" list is be able to select the week days where a schedule has effect...

For the first request you can use the "Lock place" feature. So you can create a "Busy" place (no need to associate cells or lacs), associate a 24 hours schedule for it and then select if before the meetings (place button->Lock place->Select "busy place"). After the meetings select "unlock" place again....

The second request is already in my list :D

Best regards.

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
hehe dont worry, It is in my list :D .

Now I ve to go but later a will add in the first page my "to-do" list. As I told you I think your request is a nice idea :D

Best Regards.

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] davw:
Hi daniel,

Didn't tried the latest version yet to see if I no longer have the freezes when receiving/making calls.

I'll do that tomorrow because this weekend om on duty (on call guard) and can't take the risk my HTC freezes and I'm no longer reachable (my boss won't be happy I guess :D )

I guess that on your todo list also the possibility to import cell names from a database (or textfile) is still present ?

Btw enjoy your vacation at Santander.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Blowfish64:
That'd be pretty freaking sweet. CityID doesn't really do it, because it only matches the call by the prefix the number originates from, so they could be anywhere and it only tells you where they originally purchased their cell number from.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kdx200:
since im not an expert, ill wait for dani and his knowledge, but the truth is that the usefull information "must" be in a "human-redeable" format :)

dani, ive this problema: i create an action that sends sms when i getting home. it works great, BUT theres a thing that i coudnt "fix".

For example the app sends sms when leaving the "travel" between my house and office. If i like to an action that sends sms to home saying "leavin the bus, in ten minutes at home..now walking", the action operates two times.

1 its ok and its when im getting home (leaving the "travel trip") BUT also (2)operates when im getting work beacuse im getting off the "travel trip"!!!

how is the best way to "fix" this? i think i can create a time-based profile too? (to avoid the app send a sms saying "leaving the bus" when im getting work :D )

the app is so great man...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi

Alex I ve answered you by mail. for example I ve scheduled a sms exiting job to my wife but only in a special schedule I ve created called "finishing work" from 5 to 6. And that action is only enabled from monday to friday.

How much activity in the forum on august;)

I ve to say I have been father by first time yesterday at 11:45 am. Her name is Maria del Rosario. So this week I won't work on cmp but I read the messages from time to time :)

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nukem:
Congratulations Dani! You deserve a break. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] casouzaj:
Congratulations, Dani!

My first child was also a girl. She is 22 years old now. But I still can remember that indiscribable emotion of being a father for the first time!

Cheers for your wife and little Maria!

Carlos
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jeffrey.jansen:
Congratulations with the birth of your daughter !

I wish you and your family lots of luck in good health.

Enjoy !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Thanks to all :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MikeChannon:
Congratulations - but you've done a bad thing:D

I remember the sleepless nights:

But take my advice - this is a very gooood idea!

With luck you may get your freedom back in twenty years and work may restart on something you vaguely remember called Commgrpro and some antiquated thing that was known as windows mobile. :D

Mike
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kdx200:

Congrats!

Congrats Dani! enjoy the peice & quiet while it lasts ;)

So I guess with you not working on cmp this week Maria will be ??? ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tony.wheeler:
Dani,

Congratulations to all of you:). Enjoy the family and forget about CMP for a bit. You can always come back to us but your new daughter will grow up fast - mine is 19 now but it seems not long ago.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jeffrey.jansen:
Hello Daniel,

First of all I don’t expect an answer from you on short notice.

Just enjoy the birth of your daughter and bother with CMP when it suites you.

When you do, I have some issues that I came across when using CMP witch maybe you can look at.

Situation 1:

I drive daily between Belgium (home) and the Netherlands (work)

My provider is T-mobile (Netherlands)

When I’m in the Netherlands, my MDA should connect with Internet (GPRS/EDGE).

The MDA then automatically retrieves my mail (interval = 10 min)

When I’m in Belgium this connection should be terminated because of the roaming costs.

The profile changes automatically based on the LAC

What happens 1:

When driving from Belgium to the Netherlands, the profile changes and the MDA instantly connects to Internet using GPRS/EDGE (Actions on Enter : Phone = ON; Connections = Connect)

When I drive back from the Netherlands to Belgium, the profile changes but the connection will not terminate. (Actions on Enter : Phone = ON; Connections = Disabled)

In the LOG file you can see that CMP tries to disconnect but the MDA doesn’t respond to that.(I have to disconnect manually.)

Situation 2:

In the evening when I’m at home, I charge the MDA

What happens 2:

When charging the MDA, the screen pops on when another schedule is due.

It stays on all night.

It should be executed in the background (the screen should not be turned on)

When I was on holiday in your country (Spain) I had created a 24 hour profile.

Every night at 0.00 hour the screen turned on and stayed on all night.

My device :

MDA compact 3 (ARTE110), WM5
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jeffrey.jansen:
Future option

Suggestion:

Maybe you could implement a profile change based on provider or roaming. (Instead of LAC or cell)

You can then use internet as long as you are in your own country and disconnect when entering a foreign country were you have to use roaming.

Now I have to frequently add new locations when driving through my own or a foreign country.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi.

I only wanted to say that I read all the posts and very soon I will answer one by one and cmp project will continue :)

ps: My new child is nice but I sleep from hour to hour :cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jeffrey.jansen:
Oh, don't bother.

As I wrote before.... I don't expect an answer soon.

Just enjoy.

P.s. My youngest boy will turn 4 this Wednesday and he still keeps me awake almost every night :eek:

I hope you have more luck :D

ETEN X500

Hi Master,

I tried your great software and I experienced that it's not working properly. I have WM6 on the PDA and always show the same CELL ID and LOC except for I'm going by car because in this case it shows an other ID. I read that you wrote in this forum about the ETEN ROM which doesn't support this feature but I can't understand that why the Phone ALARM software is working . That is true it can not show detail Cell ID so it can change the profile only between cities. (I think it's still unusable but a good sign) I would like to ask that you will work on this problem because I would like to buy and use your excellent program.

Thanks in advance,

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

There are two ways to get cell id.

1) Using official WM5/WM6 api. This system should be implemented by every OEM but only a few ones have implemented it currently (HTC, HP). Others hasnt implemented it in his latest RIL version. For example, toshiba hasnt implemented it in his new device pertege G900 (I could test it days ago). When cmp calls this api simple get NOT_IMPLEMENTED. Same happens with ETEN. Hope they fix it soon because this api is Official and should be implemented. It doesnt work in wm2003

2) tweaking. Its is used by programs that works in wm2003 too (phone alarm and others) This system is oem dependent. Basically is to spy some memory positions in ril driver space. It works in wm2003, wm5 and wm6 but developer must do special code for each device and so version. Even code is different for same device, so but different rom version. So five devices need 15 different fragments of code or more. I could do it but I didnt want to start a endless road. I ve read many forums of phonealarm users saying that program didnt get correctly in their devices. I prefer to wait for RIL developers do their job.:D

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jimkz:
Thnx

OK, I will wait :(

Thanks again,

Jimmy
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] presilha:
Some suggestions.

Hi Dani! I’m new to the forum, but I’m very enthusiastic about CommMgrPro. So, first of all, I’d like to congratulate you for this magnificent piece of software, and also for the attention you give to its users.

I must admit that I’ve tested several other applications with profile managing capabilities, but none so far has even got close to CommMgrPro. I think it is a must have, really!!!

I’m afraid I haven’t red all the forum posts, but I’ve red some, and I’ve seen some member’s suggestions too. Based on my experience with CommMgrPro, I would like to make some suggestions myself (only three, actually :o).

I’m aware that some of my suggestions have been made previously, however, I’m sure they would improve so much the interface when you drive (and I drive a lot…), that I think they’re worth to be emphasized. After all, when you drive, you must pay attention to the road and to the traffic, so… I guess splitting too much attention with the pocket pc is not a good thing to do.

1) The warning dialog when you lock a profile should be "hidable" with an option. This would dramatically improve the usability (one step less when you lock a profile!!!), and for the experienced user, this warning is not necessary anymore.

2) When selecting the profile to lock, the icons are too small to easily be selected with a finger/thumb. I think that, in this case, the best approach would be an interface like TomTom. For example: big buttons, maybe 6 per screen, with one bottom-right button leading to the next screen (if there are enough profiles for another screen, of course :rolleyes:), where you would have another set of buttons, and so on, until the loop completes and the last set of buttons would lead back to the first screen.

3) Use the battery charging as a trigger. Many people have a cradle in the car, where the pocket pc rests, and charges… so, if it could be possible to trigger a profile whenever the battery charging is detected, then the profile change would be absolutely automatic. Basically people can charge the pocket pc on 3 major occasions: at home; at work; and in the car… If the “battery charging” trigger is used together with “Cell/Lac”, and “time frame”, it becomes very easy to prevent the car profile to be activated when you charge the device at work, or at home… :cool:

Thanks in advance Dani. I wish you the very best!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi

thanks for your suggestionsI have wrotten down all of them months ago Cmp detected when the device was plugged and executed some actions. I had to remove if because many users was confused about it Now Cmp Simply changes the battery icon when the device is plugged but J could assign that state to a profile automatically Or a similar approach. Next Monday I Will come back and the project Will be resummed after summer holidays :)

I don't know if anything has transpired with respect to this post, but I have similar problems with vgsmail. Mine seem to occur when the phone is in standby mode. For some reason I do not get new email notifications until I power the phone up.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
I couldn't repeat that issue in my devices but I will try it harder.

thanks:)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] calbee:
I wonder if anyone can point me the instruction to achieve the following:

1. On enter profile

2. switch on wifi

3. Without a schedule (i.e. automatically) do an activesync.

4. switch off wifi

any help would be great. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dirk L. A.:
Hi Dani,

I have also a request for an additional feature that I had on a SonyEricsson phone and that I’m really missing today:

A SMS reminder: if there is an unread SMS (and only SMS, not MMS or email) a selectable sound is played each xy minute(s). For me this is very important as I do receive alerts per SMS and it happens that I miss the arrival notification.

Another (small?) request: would it be possible to display the last boot date/time? I’m regularly wondering how long my device is running without a reset…

Thanks a lot, regards

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

ActiveSync execution and mail account Purge actions will be included very soon as well as delayed actions.

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

Good idea. Maybe I could extend that concept to other events that could require user attention. Boot time can be seen in-the events log page but I can include it in other page

Hope you had a good holidays:)

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dirk L. A.:
Yes, thanks! It was just perfect: 3 weeks! I haven't had that for a very long time...

Boot time: my buffer setting is probably too small, I loose this information very quickly there.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jeffrey.jansen:
Update :

CMP disconnects communications, but the MDA reconnects when retrieving mail (every 10 min)

This doesn't happen when I disconnect manually.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
hi Jeffrey.

1) Do you try to disable connections or you try to close them? anyway,, cmp tries to disable connections but It cant?. Maybe because of roaming?

2) Uncheck the option "wake to execute actions". It will avoid cmp wakes up the device. If the device is plugged depending on your configuration then the screen could keep on. Or maybe you could add action "cpu screen off". This sould turn the screen off after executing actions.

3) the action "Connections disconnect" is executed only once. So if other program tries to open a connection after then cmp wont do anything. If you want a block any connection then choose "Connections disabled" instead of "Connections closed".

Best Regards.

Dani
