Pocket Internet explorer tries to open the cab files as text files....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ruppia:
Thanks Dani... i will try this night...

Rups
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DR400:
Well thanks for your quick reply ... The most difficult is to come : execute script ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Well maybe you could (using cmp) send a email when entering / exiting thoses places so you would have registered all your movements......
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DR400:
yep ... I work on it ... your soft is opening so many opportunities !!!

Hi

verison 30 seems to have some bugs, its missing the skin for QVGA, just installs a skin called square

also when changing from Unknown to Home/Work,etc it wakes up the device, so more and more now i taking my phone out of my pocket and its loaded up some other programs and normaly has pocket IE loaded too

any chance of fixing it so it doesnt wake up the device, as it will only be a matter of time before it starts dailing out,etc

Regards

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

1) Be sure to install correct cab. There are 3 diferent installers: SQUARE, QVGA and VGA. So download correct one.

2) Passing from unknown to know place execute its schedule actions and It wakes up the device to ensure all the actions are executed correctly( I works in this way since V0.9.0.16). You can include the action "Power off" or "Scree off" when entering those known places. In this way you wont have the risk you are talking about.

Dani,

There is obviously much more that can be done with CMP so that users can define 'ON EVENT' actions. These actions could be triggered on almost any event - entering a place (cell id etc), entering a pre-defined time period (Independant of place), starting a meeting (according to Pocket Outlook) calendar appointment category, on activation of activesync (docked), on connection of external power (car) without activesync, etc, etc... The list is endless and some other apps have already started down this route - phoneAlarm is one I am familiar with a great many aditional settings that can be defined per profile.

Where CMP is ahead is with the places definition (auto profile trigger) and so that is the area I think you need to initially concentrate on perfecting - it's almost there now and just needs some usability issues to be addressed.

How many features you can pack into a particular size of application whilst also maintaining ease of use is the issue. You might want to consider an expert mode as the app gets more complicated - less popular settings/actions might be an extra button/screen press away so that screens could be less complicated. I have some ideas which I'll post over the weekend.

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Well, by now working in the new pages. Tomorrow will be ready a first version. The problem with adding those new features (events -> rules ->actions) is the increased memory size. But I ve thought in dll modules that only are allocated if used. So in each moment the memory program size is exactly what the user needs. If the user hasnt scheduled a kind of events then there arent loaded in memory. But this will be for the feature....Before current CMP should be finished. Before going to market I will fix bugs, improve usability and I will add multilanguage.....

nice to have: click on icon in today plugin will open that specific setting

Hi,

Wouldn't it be nice that when you click on one of the icons in the today plugin that it would actually open only the settings part for that specific icon. So if you press on the WiFi icon, then it would only open the pert where you can specify the FiFi settings. (on, off, setup, cancel). Preccing the cell/profile buton will then still open the normal setup screen.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi.Yes, this feature is included in usability items...;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DR400:
I just realized that under 'action', 'open a file' there's no possibility to open one located in the SD card ... strange, isn't it ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tony.wheeler:
Problem?

Dani,

Working away here on CMP ideas and a warning just popped up: titled: CommMgrPro.exe, it says: Backlight dialog not foundi. Try backlight driver mode.

If I dismiss the warning I then get "Unidentified USB Device" and it says: "Enter the name of the device driver for the device. For information, see the manufacturer's documentation." this has an edit box under it.

Cannot say why this came up but my Vario II was just docked and sync'd with my laptop and no CMP changes had been made.

I do have an action in CMP for backlight control but it should not have just triggered because that should only happen on schedule change at 2200 or 0600. Will report on any other problems - this is the first problem with .30 version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Thank you Tony. Report me if you see it again. Have you unchecked in options page "Backlight driver". This message appears when cmp tries to change backligh settings using "dialog way". For hermes and trinity is better to check the option "Backlight driver".

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Well, by now I will continue working on pages of post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1299920&postcount=906

Separate profiles, places and locations and associate actions with profiles instead of places has many benefits but I have to do a very very very deep change on the structure (database, main screen, internal engine) so, by now, I will finish current work and in the future I will try do separate them. So now we have profiles with actions associated to them and locations(cells/lacs) associated to those profiles that activate/deactivate those profiles. They can be activated manually too. The "extra step" for separating profiles, places (group of cells and lacs), and individual cells/lacs requires a very strong change. I think, by now, having profiles with cells associated and the posibility to automatically switch profiles using them is good (but not so good as separating profiles -> places -> locations). But soon, when I ve to do a big change that needs a database change then I will include this feature.

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tony.wheeler:
Thanks Dani - I look forward to that and seeing all the features coming together. I can see, though, that you need to get a product out for sale so appreciate the need to baseline the program versy soon.

All the best
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Karl der Käfer:
halo dani.

with every release cmp is working smoorther and the options become even smarter. great work.

i have some doubts about priority of compeeting scheduled actions.

1. schedules on trinity with wm6 don't work as expected. evening schedule with wifi on, night schedule with action wifi off. but mostly on entering into night s hedule wifi stays active.

2. driving car with locked car profile [data connections on] i come home, cancel the place lock, cmp identificates home place and activates home place. all home places do have set 'connection off' in 'on enter'. as i have wifi in my home place, i whish to avoid gprs or g3 data costs. but frequently after switching obviously to home place, activating wifi and desactivating data connection as shown by cmp full screen info, actually the device opens a gprs or g3 data connection.

3. suposed that i am in a certain place with 'on entry wifi on' like work place. Then i set 'wifi off' manually for 60 minuts or for inefinit time. After 10 minutes y happen to change place, p.e. arriving in home zone where i set before 'on enter wifi on'.

now my cuestion: which command has priority? manually 60 minuts which still has to keep wifi off for 50 minutes more, or the last scheduled action switching wifi on?

4. suposed that i locked to a place with wifi on, then i switch off wifi manually for 60' or indefinit time. then after 10' i arrive to my home zoon [on enter wifi on]. priority for 50' left in wifi off mode or priority for last programmed schedule 'on enter wifi on' action ?

5. pda is set 'wifi off'. i switch 'wifi on' for 60', but after 10' i switch the pda off [battery change] and 2 h later i switch the pda on. will there bee the 50' 'wifi on' or does cmp come back on 'wifi off'?

saludos

ralf
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi Ralf. I can see you like wifi ;)

1) Can you do a test?. Create a test profile. Add "On enter" wifi on, and "On exit" wifi off, and let me know the results.

2) CMP closes the current gprs/umts if "Connections off" scheduled. But if you dont disable gprs/umts connections its posible that any program or the windows connection manager component (the internal core component of windows that decide which kind of connection should open if needed:gprs, wifi) opens a gprs connection althought wifi is on. I suggest you to set "Connections disabled" instead of "Connections of"

3) Any action over a component(wifi, bt, connections, etc), scheduled or manually, should remove any old "time scheduled". So the "60 min" limit should be removed

4)again, new action should remove old limits.

5) When you say "i switch the pda off [battery change] " what do you mean?. If you talk about switch off wifi then old limits are removed. But if you only turn off the device then the limit continues active....

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

What you suggest is what CMP has to be. Now cmp is "place oriented" but in a near future must be "profile oriented". In this way, changes of location will be only some of the events like can trigger a automatic change of profile. But there can be other events that trigger this action, like low memory, etc. Even more, "change of profile" is only one action to be executed (with all the "on exit", "on enter" subactions) because of a event (in this case, change of location). But there could be other actions that not require change of profile, like send mail, log action to txt file.....All these things makes me think very seriously in "EVENTS(change of location, memory states, missed call, incomming call, sms received) are filtered by RULES(If memory change and < 20%, if new location is associated to a profile, if missed call is from job) and may trigger ACTIONS (change of profile, send sms, etc). This will be the next step for cmp. But this step must be built over a very stable and "usable" version. Because of this I think now is very important to finish debugging cmp and make it "usable".

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

I have space problems with the new pages suggested by Tony. As you know it creates two new pages but remove 4. But Its very complicated (even imposible) to fit all the controls in square screen devices. In the images you can see that It is very complicated for square devices. BUT in the second page(that fit schedules, enter an exit actions) the problem is even bigger. I cant image how to enter all the information in 240x 180 (180 because 50-60 pixels are occupied by botton bar and tabs. In first page I can move the "Profile change Mode" radio button to "Options" page but I dont know what to do for schedule-actions page. Any suggestion?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Well, finally I think theses layouts are valid for square devices....but if someone think arent valid please tell me before tomorrow because then I will start to program them.

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
I probably should have read the next post but I have the 750 which is a SQUARE device. It s 240x240 is it not? Anyways, one thought that I had was what if you could move Location Mode to a different OPTIONS tab. Now my perceptions and how I use this, is pretty much set one mode and forget it. I don't find myself going back and forth between modes at all. Would that give you the room that you need? Not sure what control you have over pages that scroll either.

Hope that helps some.

--Mickey
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
I see that you moved thed Profile Change mode moved. Where did that go to? Just curious. That should work none the less.

--Mickey
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi Mickey. It was moved to Options page. If manually mode is selected then automatic switch (by location or time) is disabled.....

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PayableOnDeath:
it downloaded the cab via the program with the update on the about page

i didnt notice it doing it before, maybe its since i started using it more
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi.

I ve received a interesting mail from a Gigabyte user(Thanks, Mal) so I post here the problem and the solution that I will try to include in the next version (this week).

Daniel,

hi there, I have been evaluating your beta of commmgr pro, currently

trialing 0.9.0.30. I have a bug to report and a suggestion for new

action.

1. The bug I get is that my LAC and CellID do not update automatically,

only when "Get" is pressed, I would have thought that is would update

periodically or on cell change (configurable period maybe)

2. It would be good to have an action to make an HTTP request to a

webpage (selecting appropriate connection in options) to post LAC /

CellID / Place Name / Description in an HTTP request query string,

enabling the build of some customer serverside applications. So when a

user reaches a specific place it posts a message on a website etc..

Note: for info I am using WM5 5.1.195(Build 14955.2.3.0) on PXA272 -

416Mhz on a Gigabyte g-Smart i128.

Regards,

Mal Hubert

Hi Mal.

Thanks for your information. CMP (CommMgrPro) registers itself to RIL so It should get automatically changes of location even with device suspended. But this hasnt been tested on your device and It seems those notifications hasnt been implementedor or doesnt work correctly. So I am going to implement what you say, lets say, an "autorefresh" option where user can select the time in minutes and other option, setting if the device must wake up, if Its is suspended, to refresh this information. I am going to post it in the forum( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=299070) in a few minutes. Server update is a nice suggestion and I ve added to "to-do" list so will be ready very soon

Thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Karl der Käfer:
done. works fine and inmediately. but then coming home it stayed 1 abbout minute in home place yet, until wifi finally switched on.

good idea. i'll give it a try.

just what it says: open battery tap, remove battery, i replace battery perhaps 1 hour or even 8 hous later, then i close the tap and switch power on.

that is what i do when i go for some vinos y tapas. i change the sim card to my old phone, so if someone would rob it, it was just the sim card and a crap phone. and who will rob a year 2000 phone?

saludos. tengo que preparar el bibe :->

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:

PD: Madrid is the best in "tapas".-
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] km4free:
Server Side would be nice.

If the post LAC /CellID / Place Name / Description in an HTTP request query string, could include

time and date

as well it would be nice.

I am still searching for a SOFTBANK (japan) LAC database. Anyone using this in Tokyo yet?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
hehe, you are right, especially in "tapas" issue:D

ps: As you could read I am going to implement a system for devices that has problem getting ril notifications(change of location) (in suspend system or not). I will do a special action that can be turned on/off. In on state, it pools ril for current location so It can be usefull for you. Anyway we should know why your device/rom has that problem in suspended state.

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
yes, no problem. The question is....this action should be executed for change of place? or change of cell/lac?

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] km4free:
Both cell/lac

I would say both(cell/lac):) if you are asking, LAC might be enough to start with. Thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi.

I was talking about report cell's change or places change (you know, place in cmp is a collections of cells)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moarph:
trying this program quite a few versions but on all the same problem: it wont show cell-id and lac-id.

I'm using an Universal with DarkForce's WM6 in Germany on ePlus-Network.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Yes. It has been reported this problem on HTC universal before. Its a radio rom problem
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moarph:
My Radio-Version is 1.15.00 which is by far the best radio-rom for the Universal. Any possibilty this will work on it? I'm willing to help anyhow
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Well, all the people with htc universal has the same problem. It seems the htc universal radio roms doesnt report cell/lac information...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Landy_2002:
OK Dani, a big Thanks to you of course.

In another side i think that this issue is not only for my device because i tested wit WM5, WM6, radio 1.29, 1.35,1,38, 1.41... with hard reset... and always the same. The real thing is that many people is not testing the soft in the right way,..., but this is another history....

NP anyway, in the fact that your soft works today in my Trinity is very useful for me... I explain: I go to work, and then i only push "on" button, and phone do "work" state, and then vibrate "on", wifi "Off", etc, ..., after i get home, i push "On" button and then i get volume at 60%, wifi on, etc.... in this way is better than i had until your soft, and it´s very usefull for me.-

Greetings from Torrejón de Ardoz.-

Saludos.-

PD: Actually the ram needed in my device is 4MB, be care with this, i guess....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
wow, 4 mb for CMP in your trinity?

In VGA devices I only have reached 2.5 MB showing all the images.....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Landy_2002:
Sorry!---> 15.4 before and 12.6 after..... then=> 2.8 . Ups....

Or with soft reset.... -> 23.8 before and 20.9 after... then 2.9 Ups again...

BR Landy.-
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Ok, but too much. This is because of the cached bitmap images. Current skin is beatifull but It requires very deep colors (24 mbits) and CMP stores bitmaps in memory to increase performance. I will put an option to choose between cache or not cache. If no cache then memory size doesnt goes beyond 550 KB....

Dani

Problems

Dani,

Having a couple of problems on my Vario II that seem down to CMP. My screen backlight has now turned itself off a few times it would not easily turn back on despite changing settings on device, I had no on enter or exit actions that changed backlight although have tried it. I have also seen the previously reported USB warning a few times (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=1304677#post1304677) - Missed your previous advice on 'backlight driver' option which is now unticked so will report back on any further issues. Seems rather strange though because I had no actions to change backlight so why would CMP be messing with backlight and cause this error :confused: .

I also woke up this morning (CMP place unknown) and my radio/phone was off. This is the normal profile for my 'Home' place from 2200 to 0600 but it was off here at 'unknown' place at 0700. I believe this is down to CMP as I have no other software on the device that turns off the radio and it was working OK last night here.

I have also noticed that when the phone automatically switches itself from 3g to 2g (and back) that CMP is sometimes initially confused and decides location is 'unkown' before it has got a valid signal to confirm location onces again. I am aware that I need to capture both 3g and 2g cells and LACs and have done so but this still occurs when device itself switches bands when near to edge of 3g coverage. The problem is of course that this activity would trigger the 'on exit' and 'on enter' actions.

Another Idea on Creating Places - we discussed provision of button to add current cell ID and LAC to list of codes for a place. How about also asking if user wants to capture Cell ID and LAC for other band (not current one)? CMP could (on yes answer) simply switch bands to 3g/2g capture details and then switch back to original settings. This would improve ease of capturing all possible cell IDs and LACS for a given location.

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

1) Well. Usb warning is a mistery for me because I havent never seen it. If you find a way to repeat this problem please tell me. If I can see it and isolate it I will fix it. But now I ve not idea how to repeat it.

2 and 3) Do you switch the band when you go to sleep?. I ve noticed too a couple of times that when band switches sometimes the cell is unknown. It can be problematic if the phone is going off because if the last position is "unknown" then the phone wont awake. (because "phone on" is associated to your "home" location, not to "unknown" place). By now I cant do anything to avoid it because these are valid locations that RIL reports. There is something you can to. Swith to LAC mode. Then switch from 2g to 3g and back sometimes. I suppose LAC wont change and It will register those "hidden" cells that only appears switching between bands to your place. That is what I did when I saw this and havent seen the issue again.

4) Good idea. Added to "to-do" list.

5) Your pages (main and profiles) are almost finished. I will post today an alpha version for testing.:)

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

New pages are finished. I ve had to do many changes so I am going to upload it for testing. Places, Schedule, On Exit and On Enter pages have been removed. Main and Profiles pages have been created (Thanks Tony :) ). Please test it and report any bug.

I will continue with pending items and fixing bugs in these new pages (when found). Pending items:

1) Cache images optional.

2) Option to force cmp to refresh cell/lac info. Some devices doesnt notify cmp about these changes (some of them if suspended, others never (like gigabyte)) so there will be an option to choose, for example, refresh location info each x minutes,

3) Option to send locations changes to an URL, sending current cell, lac, profile, schedule, user name, time. This will enable server side actions. I will create a servlet in my web page so you can test it and this url will be default.

Dani
