Hi Dani,

Thanks, I will no longer mix them... I tested only the power state change without phone action (schedule 9:15 - 10:00). A few questions about the log:

1/ why are several actions repeated (logged) twice?

2/ I planned power standby state but logged is off. Is that the same?

3/ On exit, I planned power "screen off" but logged is Idle State (the one that is not translated). Is that the same?

I will now try the same without enabling "Awake to execute actions"

Hi Dirk

1) Yes. It is something I ve to research. I dont know If Its a log problem or there are repeated actions. It could cause problems so I will take a look

2 and 3). Yes, these are the same state with different name :)

off = standby

screen off = idle.

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

Same test but without "Awake to execute actions". After on exit at 10:40, the phone was blocked with a black screen. I was unabled to turn it on, I had to reboot. But the phone was running because there are other items listed in the log.

So power actions needs probably definitely the "Awake to execute actions".

Feature Request: Auto in and out of flight mode when a lost signal is regained

I am a big fan of BandSwitch. ComMgrPro is awesome (tho exceeds my personal needs)

I've been running into a WinMobile prob that has been long reported, though appears to be quite inconsistent. I am hoping that a clever fellow like Daniel could add a feature to fix this into one of his creations.

Issue: Data not reconnecting after signal loss (sometimes also noticed when auto-switching from GPRS). Requires a soft-reset or going in and out of flight mode before data can connect again. I have found reports on this going back to WM2003SE using the old vgsmail/ppc IMAP IDLE client. I currently get this prob in WM6 on ATandT using Direct Push.

Seems to be an underlying WinMobile system/phone problem that people more often notice when using a form of push mail.

My quickest solution at present is BandSwitch. I tap the tray icon to open it and then re-tap Auto. Just 2 clicks, the result is the phone briefly drops in and out of flight mode and then reconnects.

It would be great to have a program that did this automatically (i.e. detects a signal has just been regained and responds by taking the phone in and out of flight mode to ensure a robust data connection.

Please would it be possible to add this feature to BandSwitch (or Comm Mgr Pro)??? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
HI.

I ve detected it in my hermes from time to time. Do you think It happens always when this situation happens? If so It would be easy to implement it. Does it only happens the signal disapears or there is other way to reproduce it? (for helping me to test the solution....)..

ps: I ve remembered I had to do trick in WM6. When swithing the band it must be done twice or wont impossible to connect. I implemented this solution for both bandswitch and commmgrpro WM6
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] flamingcrumb:
Hi Daniel: Not always but very often. Most recent mention is in this thread but I also found a post abut it on the old vgsmail/ppc forum re an older device. So it seems to be an inconsistent but long recurrent system issue.

I don't actually change the band. I stay in auto and when the problem occurs I simply open Bandswitch and click Auto again. Phone drops into flight mode then resumes and connects properly. I never have to do this twice, just the once.

The best way to block a signal to recreate the situation on your phone (other than going to a basement or something where you know you can't get a signal) might be this...

Pop phone into a small box. Cover box with lots of aluminum foil. Put boxed phone into a disconnected microwave oven (when it is most definitely OFF!!!). Unless you have a super strong signal this should virtually eliminate anything getting to your phone.

Take the phone out again and your phone will search for a signal. The problem is most likely to be seen if you use an always on connection as with Direct Push etc.

Do you still develop BandSwitch or is your time focused on Comm Mgr Pro now? I just like the low overhead and simplicity of Bandswitch, but I realize that programming can be an awful lot of work for a very small return!

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

I continue with both projects. I will try to simulate it and I can do it (simulate) I will do a fix. When I told I implemented a "twice phase" solution is because if bandswitch or commmgrpro are running in WM6 (they detect it) then when swithing from gsm to auto or umts internally the programs make it twice (Unregister line, power phone off, power phone on, register line).

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] flamingcrumb:
Daniel Herrero, you ROCK! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
HI.

In order to detect CMP bugs, windows interactions, etc, I am using a little program I ve created to "stress" cmp. This programs simply enters a loop where advance clock 1 hour, wait 1 minute, advance clock 1 hour, wait one minute, and so for ever. In this way 24 hours occurs in 24 minutes and schedules are executed continuosly and its easy to see if cmp is doing what has to do without have to change schedules, etc. NO GUI so It must be finished using a program manager tool (taskMgr, memmaid, etc). Simple and addressed to stress and debug CMP. The device should be plugged because if the device is suspended then CMPStress will be suspended too until device is resumed.

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Dani - a few posts back, I had reported that when I had CMP stop and restart the phone radio, the phone's radio would "LOCK UP" and not reconnect to the network when CMP would turn on the phone. WELL... I have discovered what was causing it. It is indeed with CMP. I had recently changed OPTIONS(1) REFRESH LOCATION checked. Well apparently(I am just guessing) that CMP must have still been trying to update the location forcabily even when the radio was off. Anyhow, I have disabled this option and the problem has gone away. I do lose the functionality that it offered but certainly this is much better than having to reboot the phone due to the radio not re-connecting.

So my question is whether or not you can detect the radio being on/off and pre-empt things such as Call Forwarding, Radio OFF, Forced RIL updates, etc..where the event doesn't make sense?

--Mickey
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi Mickey.

Good empiric discovery. There isnt any reason why a program cant request location position with radio off but maybe this can be the source of some problems. And in your case it fixes it. In fact when I am writting these lines I ve just modified the code doing what you do (at least in with refresh location option). If you need I can upload it.

Using the stress program I ve seen the black screen problem, with icons and texts windows missing....:confused: Probably some operation over RIL in a very concrete situations makes RIL behave badly. But now I can reproduce the error (well, It takes me one hour with the stress program and the device plugged to the debugger but finally I can test it). So I hope soon I find a fix for many problems.

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Ok. Just discovered the usb error problem. CMP refresh very often the connections configuration(RAS, USB, ....). It must iterate over all of them using RAS Api. Finally detect which are RAS connection. In some moment RAS windows component gave a error. The number of availables connection was 0 and then the message "USB....." appeared and light was off. Maybe I can solve It if CMP enumerate all kind of connections when It is initiated. After this just refresh each connection status. We only loose the the feature about if a user configures a new connecition then cmp recognizes. Using the other system CMP should be restarted to recognize the new connection. But our problem should go out......:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Sounds like you are on to something...Looking forward to your next revision. Your new stress too sounds like it saves a lot of time in replicating issues.

--Mickey
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Yes. It is helping me a lot. Now I ve different devices running schedules once, and again, and again. No need to wait days. It stresses CMP, RIL and Windows forcing problems. Then I do some changes to walk arround the problem. Soon I will publish a beta version. The current objetive is to remove all bugs we find before starting new features.

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PaulG:
Yep, I have this problem from time to time as well, I've noticed there is no pattern to it or specific function being used.

I have a dopod 838 pro & this has only started since I upgraded to WM6 (official HTC release)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi Paul.

I ve seen that screen some times since I ve upgraded to WM6. Fortunatelly the stress programs I ve done are helping me to reproduce those errors. (Now I can repeat those situations in 20 minutes stressing CMP). These days I am changing many componenets in CMP to solve thoses issues (that screen, usb dialog, black screen, etc). I will upload a new version very soon, when all the stress test are ok. Then It would be nice testing help to check all is ok. (you know, when fixing some things then others can fail).

Dani.

ps: Problems are related with TAPI fails working concurrently. Because of It there isnt a defined pattern. Fixing it....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MooCan:
Amazing

Hi,

I have discovered CommMgrPro and it's an amazing tool!

I have just a request ... If possible ... could you add an action to activate and another to deactivate "Direct Push" ... as if you use HTC CommManager button.

What is the upgrade policy ?

Thanks in advance

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

Yes, "Direct push action" is in to-do list and will implemented soon.

Free upgrades for, al least, two years.:D

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi.

After one week debugging I upload a new version:

http://www.commmgrpro.com/db5/00454...ad/CommMgrPro_V1.1.2a_Theme_SkizZO_SQUARE.CAB

http://www.commmgrpro.com/db5/00454...load/CommMgrPro_V1.1.2a_Theme_SkizZO_QVGA.CAB

http://www.commmgrpro.com/db5/00454/commmgrpro.com/_download/CommMgrPro_V1.1.2a_Theme_SkizZO_VGA.CAB

I coudnt repeat the "password box" issue in my hermes since It hasnt official WM6 rom but unofficial. Today I will upgrade. The option menu/test/ric(what I ve used to debug) turn on/off the phone 4000 times quickly. One week ago the "usb missing" dialog appears at 80-90 time. Now appears at 500-600 time. It is caused by an internal crash of the radio driver. Then when CMP tries to turn on the radio with the api function "lineSetEquipmentState(_hLine, LINEEQUIPSTATE_FULL);" the popup dialog is shown. It means the windows cant find the driver (because It is down) so It ask for the driver. I suppose any other function that tries to talk with radio hardware should bring the same dialog in this situation. I dont know why It happens. Maybe It isnt ready to support too many requests. Anyway, I ve changed (or rewritten) much code to minimize the access to radio and connections api so now I hope you never (or almost) see those kind of issues. I need your help for testing because much code changed.

Best Regards.

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tony.wheeler:
Thanks Dani, I will get testing straight away. Sounds like your stress tester helped you isloate a number of issues.

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Ok Tomy:)

I ve changed too much code of schedule manager to avoid duplicate executions of "end-actions" (and Its consecuences)and other issues related with phone being off. In the same way any use of location, connection and phone api is conditionated to check that phone is on. (problem reported by Mickey with automatic location refresh and phone being off). Trying to remove those issues maybe I ve done some mistake so I am ready to fix them :D

problem report

CMP 1.1.2a is no longer able to enter Phone-Pin. Just Pin-Entry dialog is opened and nothing else happens. I cancelled this dialog and opened Maindialog: CMP shows Phone-status as ON and even shows a CELL code!

Thanks Uli. Tomorrow will be fixed :o

ps: Pin code allows to register phone in operator network but before this step the cell id is already available ;)

Hi.

v1.1.2b uploaded.

1) sim code issue fixed.

2) Good news for WM6 users :D . It seems that official HTC WM6 roms solved the problem that required double time to switch from 2G to 3G. So this tweak has been removed and now switching from 2G to 3G takes half time that before.

The bandswitch application in your website is no longer free. However, the most annoying thing is that there's NO TRYOUT (demo).

When one download the application and reset the PPC, it immediately asked for the license. If none entered, it'll quit right away.

The MOST annoying thing is that it is DAMN HARD to REMOVE the program. Using the Add/Remove applet just give an error that the application can't be removed and just remove Bandswitch from the Add/REmove list. When the PPC is reset, the application IS STILL THERE and started again, asking for the same license key.

I have to dig through the registry to remove it completely. This is really annoying for majority (i.e. non-tech user) of user.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
BS is 15 days shareware. But first time BS connect to BS server to check version. If server detects that your IMEI is known for more that one month then you will get the message and BS wont work. So if you use BS for 15 days, then hardreset and then install it again It wont work because server knows you used the programa before for more than 15 days. I will take a look to uninstaller because there wasnt problem uninstalling in test devices. Do you really think the program is on sale without installer or It wasnt tested?. Anyway this is CommMgrPro thread, no Bandswitch.

Using good ways all the people will help you. But talking as you do you wont get any help.

cellular location?

hi dani,

first of all: your app is GREAT!!

ive been reading about 125 pages of this tread and did not find what im looking for.now im exhausted..it took me about hours reading it!

the info that receive the phone (cellid + lacid) is the "full" info? what about the latitude-longitude? is there any aditional info like the place that the cell is installed? for example "corner of 10 street and 5 ave"

ive been searching in the net, and i think that this info is availble (not always, but its ok).

So, with this info, id like, for example, the phone sms to another (ie son to father, friend to friend, etc) the "lat lon" or "the place". No in "cellid code" because is not "understandable" by a person.

well, my english is very bad and im so sorry for that.

Puedo escribir en español pero este es un foro en ingles!!!

thanks in advance!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
hi

If you prefer information on spanish send me an email and I will explain you in spanish.

1) cmp uses cells and lacs but associated to profiles or places. In this way you will manage concepts like home, job,beach,cine aaa and you will associate cells to them. So yes, its possible to send emailss or sms like "I am arriving to home" or I am leaving job.

2) broadcast information channels will be available very soon with cmp. In fact I am already doing tests with those channels(50 should give location name,like streets) but It seems that spanish operators(at least v odafone) doesn't provide this info.

Best Regards.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Blowfish64:
Speaking of your location info, is it possible to know where geographically a call to the phone is originating from?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dirk L. A.:
Hi Dani,

Everything fine with this version so far. No problem found with standard use.

I tested yesterday the "RIC" function with 1.1.2a, the usb dialog box didn't show up but at the end (?), meaning after nearly 2 hours, the phone wasn't able to turn on and all the device was responding very slowly. Seems to be a terrific test!

2 questions about the log texts:

1/ what is FireStatusChanged disabled meaning?

2/ I have a (0) at the end of the Place-Schedule display, is that normal?

And finaly, is there an easy way to test the 3 new texts?

Kind regards

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

Firestatusdisabled is an old trace that I forgot to remove. Now as you can see in the regisitry each hardware manager of cmp can be disabled,like hall 9000 ;), to allow more accurated debugging processes.

2) If your referr to (0) in debug trace It means that there are zero actions scheduled for that profile and schedule(adding start and end actions).

Once the version is verified I will translate the texts I could forget.

Dani

Today Theme

Hey Dani,

I think I found a bug. I'm using v1.1.2b.

I'm trying to choose a different today theme for each day of the week. I can choose a theme for say Monday, but when I attempt to choose a different theme for Tuesday, it overwrites my Monday choice.

It was working, but I decided to remove all my existing ones and re-add new ones. This is when I discovered the problem. If you currently have themes selected and they are working, try removing them and re-adding them.
