Hi.

First of all I am waiting for a new Kaiser rom since Its has many failures. For example, radio rom doesnt notify to programs insterested on it about changes of location when the device is suspended. Because of it Its needed the option "Refresh location each x minutes.". The same issue happened in old HTC Trinity devices. I ve noted too that sometimes the rom provides strange cells when refreshes the location id. For example, my job is at 10 km from my home and suddenly , being at home, the current cell belongs to the office. Even refreshing It (radio) continues saying the same cell. Maybe It causes you second error. It happens ocasionally, but It happens.

the text "Skipping repeated schedule" appears when cmp is going to execute a schedule (start or end) and a few seconds(or when the schedule is being executed) after tries to do it again. It avoid duplicated executions. I recomend you to leave one minute between schedules: from 07:00 to 21:59 and from 22:00 to 6:59

The text ""The element Connections Manager changed its status from Off to On" mean that CMP detected that a new connection (GPRS/UMTS) has been stablished. If the previous message says "The connection manager is going to change Its status from x to y" then was CMP who initiated the connection. But If you dont see this message then simple the user or other program requested a connection to windows.

Time notifications doesnt work correctly too. For example, one each three days my daily alarm doesnt sound. I can see in the notification queue the the alarm was scheduled but windows skipped it. This problem has been reported too in other xda threads ("periodic mail check doesnt work¡¡" or something similar). This is very frustrating for CMP because Its based on time notifications. (cmp says to windows..."please, notify me at 06:00 (because start current schedule) and sometimes windows dont do it)

Anyway I continue researching about all this issues althouht I guess HTC releases soon a new rom more robust, like the final Hermes rom.

Asks for Key at startup

When I start the CommMgr PRO it asks for a key now..it did nt use to do that previously...

Does that mean its a license key..and I have to buy license from somewhere?

When I enter any digits in it...the app closes and says - restart program to verify code...

Not sure whats wrong..

Using version 1.1.1 on Cingular 8525

Ditto on the license key, but I was just using an older version of Bandswitch.

hi guys.

i m sorry but the comm manager pro looks like crap. never seen such a ugly piece of an ppc app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
1)Everyone is free to express Its opinion. CommMgrPro design is based on skins and I personally think that the current skin, made by our fellow SkizZO, is really pretty but for tastes are colors.

2) You should know Its possible to express opinions being polite. Pleease dont be rude. Its enought saying you dont like it.:cool:

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] instinctless:
u are right, sorry for my diction.

i dont like the design of the comm mgr pro ;-)

Daniel,

Does current version of CMP work with Smartphone devices ?

And do you plan to make your upcoming version of CMP more accessible for blinds as me ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi Claude.

CMP works Windows Mobile, by now but I plan to extend it to smartphone platform. Textual skins are planned too. Now I am building the web site but soon will continue improving cmp.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jonc:
Morning Daniel,

I tried doing what you suggested, even leaving 2 minutes between the end of one schedule and the beginning of the next. I'm still reguarly getting this same message, that a repeated schedule is going to be skipped. Could it be related to the structure of my schedules and the fact that one of them wraps from 23:00 to 07:10? When I initially created the schedules it wanted to split them into 3, one 00:00 --> 07:10, one 07:10 --> 23:00 and one from 23:00 --> 00:00. How is the "repeated schedule" detection done?

I've also noticed that the end actions for the various schedules is often run several times, sometimes a couple of minutes apart, sometimes a large amount of time apart. Probably not an issue, just thought I'd make you aware of it. I've started logging to my storage card so that I can give you the logs if you're interested.

Cheers Daniel,

jonc
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Thanks Jonc. Could you send me the log files and your database? (commmgrpro.db). It seems there is something strange in your schedules....

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] clauderenaud:
Very good news. So waiting ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] clauderenaud:
Concerning accessibility.

Just an idea ....

Before trying to create new skins, what about adding an option letting the end user the ability to choose among themes already present on the Windows Mobile system : Windows default, HTC default (for those having a HTC device) and so on ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi Claude.

But anyway the skins must be done. Currently user can choose which skin wants in the options page althought currently there is only one. A skin is compound by a xml file specifying images, colours, text, sizes, coordenates of each button, etc, etc.....

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] clauderenaud:
As I said, it was just an idea ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Its a good idea to replicate standar skins line like windows default, htc, etc...:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] clauderenaud:
At first, it would be simpler for you before trying to create skins from scratch

Hey Dani

Qué tal la peque?

I am back again. Now with WM6 4.0 by Faman, flue, amigdalitis and other bad things behind.

Having problems with the key you sent some time ago. Is it void?

I think you should revise your the priorities for the actions:

I am in my home cell, obviously BT off, because at home there is no need.

I enter the car, lock to BT-Profile, BT activates, every thing fine.

But as my BT-Profile also starts G3 and tt6, some times I just switch on BT.

Now what happenes: Leaving my garage and driving around the block, I leave my home cell for a second and then I reenter (for rare antena distribution).

As soon as I reenter into my home cell, CMP activates the home profile and cuts off my BT.

That is wrong.

I think it should be like this:

Prio 3: manually made activations

Prio 2: lock to profiles

Prio 1: changes because of enter/leave cell/lac

All manually made actvations,on deact. should come to what the next less priority step indicates.

If you want to I give you some examples of what I mean.

To all the guys who donnot like the skin (I dont like it, not for beauty but for reasons of daily use):

Either you shut up and learn to live with it or you sit down and write a new skin.

No Idea about writing skins, so I bluddy shut up and learned to live with it, with a lot of respect for the lot of work Skizzo has done.

Best regards

Ralf
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi Ralf

My daughter is nice II love her :)

I think Its a nice idea what you say about priorities. I Will implement it. very soon I will continue improving CMP -I've finishers what I wanted to do in the Web Site paypal integration) and backend system. Now I only have to include Aforum so in a-few days I will continue with cmp

If you Have any problem with the license mail me with your owner name and I will create a new one ( I have had some problems migrating the license server) :o

Multiple schedules per profile

Hi, Dani! Excellent piece of work you have. I own PhoneWeaver, PocketZenPhone and have tried PhoneAlarm and am currently trying out CommMgrPro. The other programs are very good but they all still miss a couple of features that I'm after.

I keep a different schedule on the weekends so I have my phone's radio powered off/on at one time Sunday through Thursday and a different time Friday and Saturday. While you can enable actions for given days, it's not currently possible to have different schedules for the same profile. I think I may have found a way to deal with this, though: I set up the schedule so that times are defined for both weekdays and weekends. I then define the actions that I want to occur at those times and select the appropriate days for each action. So, if I want my phone's radio to turn off at 10PM Sunday-Thursday and 11:30PM on Friday and Saturday, I define the schedule so that weekday-night starts at 10PM and weekend-night starts at 11:30PM. The "enter" actions will turn the phone's radio off but different days are selected for each of them. It makes for a messy looking schedule but I think it will do what I need it to do.

(Dani, this is what you and I discussed in email earlier today. I hope this is the forum you wanted it posted in.)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi Tony.

Thanks for sharing your sugestions with us :)

In these days there will be a new version. The beginning of this programs was oriented to save battery. I ve added a component that monitors the battery activity and represents it in a 2D graph (battery vs time). It allows, for example, to turn on/off suspected programs and see the battery activity, specially angles of increment/decrement.

As you say there are ways to simulate diferent schedules for different days (for each profile) using the option "allow/disable executions for week-days". But you are right, It would be easy to allow create diferent schedules for diferent days. I ve wrote down it and I will develop it in future releases.

Greetings.

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

Tomorrow I will upload a new beta version oriented to learn about our batteries. It allows to see graphically the consumption of power in diferent scales (total, day, hour, 10 minutes). It allows to export and import data so you can see two statistics at same time. In this way you can, for example, compare consumption between 2G and 3G. Sugestion about it are wellcome...

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
V1.2

Hi.

I ve uploaded the new version. If you click in the graphic and then click in other point then you will see statistics between those points, like speed drain, etc.

One curiosity. Look at the last image. Last week I bought a 2800 ma battery. When I went to sleep I turned on HSDPA, GPS, Tomtom to do a test. As you can see the speed drain until 03:00 is 18 units/hour but then It keept on 15%. I thought it was an error of CMP but I could see using other programs that the battery level was at 15%. In fact has been until now (14.30 in spain) at 15%. Now has dropped to 14%. So It means that this battery has the half of its power in the last 15%.

Greetings.

Re: V1.2

I've installed it on my AT&T 8525 (HTC Hermes) running the stock AT&T WM6. I find the battery graph quite interesting in that it looks like the battery spikes up to 100% when I suspend the device. The other battery monitors that I run either show a battery drain of -1 or "n/a" when I take it out of suspend mode. Sorry, I don't have anything to take a screen shot, otherwise I'd post a JPG. Are you interested in an export of the graph, Dani?

Locked profile needs to be locked after reset

Hi This application is very good indeed. I need to have a profile for all occasions so I have looked to use the manual selection of the profile and this seems to work. However if you reset the device then you have to reselect the profile again. This can be annoying. Can it be changed so that if you select a manual profile it remembers it after a reset?

Thanks:)

Good idea Jowey. Added to 'to do list'. It will be included in upcoming release (very soon,with batery tool improved) :)

Yes I have reset after the two installs before. I did have an old version of Bandswitch when I installed the first time - so don't know if that is significant. I am installing onto the Storage card? Should I uninstall and put into main Memory and see if that resolves it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Yes. Today plugin doensnt work if installed on sd.

1) unselect the today plugin

2) uninstall

3) reset

4) Install on rom

5) reset

It should work

Manually selected Profile does not fire actions

Hi Dani

I have been using an Automatic profile that works fine and the actions trigger and work correctly. I had thought that selecting the same profile manually was working. However when looking in to the event log it seems it does not work when in "cell lock" manual profile selected. No events are recorded. I am doing things such as band change from 2g to 3g and back. I have other actions such as connect and disconnect internet connections but none of this trigger. This same profile however works fine when in the automatic cell movement mode. Please can you suggest what may be happening. I have included my Database as this may help.

I have an HTC Kaiser

Also as a possible enhancement an internet time sync schedule would be really great as an action.

Many Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jowey:
The database

Here is the zipped database
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi.

I ve created a test profile. on enter changes to 3g and on exit changes to 2g. Defaul schedule 24h. Worked ok and all events were logged. I ve watched your database.a few hints.

1)Actions like switch band or releated to conections only are executed if the device isnt in that state. For example, if band is aready 3g then if the profile has on enter 3g it wont be executed and logged. Same for connections.

2) Isnt good idea to mix actions for band and connections because switch the band involves to close connections. Future versions will allow to set the order of the actions and delay. In this way you may mix these kind of actions.

3) Locked profiles only aply to current schedule for that profile. so if there are many schedules only will be executed the one active when the profile was locked.

Please feel free to make sugestions to change this (or other) behaviour. If there isnt people against them then will be included on next release.

Daniel,

Battery chart

Daniel, OK, you've convinced me. I just purchased CommMgrPro. Excellent piece of work!

Question: with 1.2, do you keep the battery graph data in memory until the user clears it? I ask because something's eating up my phone's memory and eventually I run out and the phone locks up.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi

No,battery activity is stored in log_battery.txt and isnt stored in memory. It was done in this way to make graph persistent to resets and spend memory. You can install any free memory monitor, like task manager, to discover which program grows and grows....

tray icon

is the tray icon always going to be a globe

with bandswitch you had 'G' and 'A' to tell you

can you change the skin:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jowey:
If Possible could this be done

Hi Dani

I like your interface over Phonealarm and also the fact that ComMgrPro can run as a tray Icon and Phonealarm cannot. However to have time based schedule as well as a location schedule would be really good like Phonealarm. If the Profile could contain many schedules that are tripped by date and time this would be ideal.

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

Yes, thats and old wish and Its the moment to do it. When I finish with battery tool I will do it. But we must think about it carefully. There are two main aspects.

1) Its must be intuitive and easy for the users. Many users dont know many features of cmp, althought they use cmp every day

2) weekdays option will be removed and there will be schedules for each week day. (with positibility of copy schedule and paste).

3) A user can mark a schedule like "independent of place". for example, profile work, schedule monday, from 07:00 to 07:05 will be executed always.

4) Positibility the specific date/time schedule. For example, the day 23 july, from 12:00 to 14:00 will be applied profile "Silent", time-frame "morning". IN same way associate a profile to a calendar item.

5) These features brings situations where two or more profiles should be applied. For example, I am at home and must be applied "home" profile BUT today is scheduled a special day and was scheduled profile "Silent" from 12:00 to 14:00. Which profile should be applied?.

All these questions should be clear before start programing....:)

New Action

Thanks for quick reply. Also would it be possible to have an action to switch radio off and on again in one step. The Kaiser I am using has the problem whereby the radio gets hung up if a data connection is active as I board my train to work. When I arrive the data connection is open but I cannot get any internet so my Push Mail stops. I need to reset the radio when I arrive at work so the push e-mail can start again. Ideally if another action to push a sync on active sync could be called that would be even better. I have changed the Kaiser for a new one and the problem remains so just a feature of this device. I am using the device on GSM to preserve battery. Can you suggest a work around? I need for the radio to reset when arriving at work and then when getting home.

Thanks

Ok. Action added to "to-do list" :)

Hi.

Today plugin sometimes causes corrupt uninstall because Its in use. Version 1.2.1 will fix it. By now you can reinstall, deactivate the today plugin and then uninstall. Or remove the links on \windows\startup, \windows\start\programs. Then reset and then remove the directory \Program files\CommMgrPro.

Greetings.

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

Talking about last post now is fixed. I am going to include more features before release a new one (V1.2.1).

Items done in V1.2.1.

1) Fixed a situation that caused problem detecting orientation of some devices showing incorrect dialog templates

2) Size of the battery history is customizable in options(2). When the file is full is created and filled with 30% of the old file. In this way the history continues althought the file is full.

3) Option to export battery graphic to bitmap file.

4) Uninstall process fixed. Sometimes this process failed. Now works 100% (this custom installer first kill cmp process and unregister today plugin. Then lets Windows do Its job).

Items pending in V1.2.1:

1) Reset radio action

2) Delays for each actions (In this way the user controls the secuence of actions).

3) Diferent schedules for different week days. This action requires a deep change and maybe will be delayed for V1.2.2.

Greetings

Won't recognize cell until exit/restart

Dani, I've been powering off my phone at night after it's entered the "Night" profile that turns off the radio. When I power it back up in the morning, CommMgrPro starts automatically but it never seems to recognize cell locations until I exit and restart CommMgrPro. Yes, I've tried turning off the phone's radio and turning it back on, both automatically (hit the "phone off" icon on the skin and select 5 minutes so it'll turn off the radio for 5 minutes then turn it back on) and manually (hit the "phone off" icon on the skin and select "no limit", let the phone sit for a few minutes with the radio off then reverse the process).

I'm running V1.2. If you need anything else, just let me know.

Hi. Have you tried the option "Refresh location" and "Enable Ril" of page "Options(2)"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] short/y:
I don't usually need this setting -- my device usually tracks my movements quite well -- I latch on to at least 3 different cell towers from different places in my house.

But, when I encountered this problem this morning, I turned it on and, interestingly enough, it didn't seem to have any effect. Indeed, the cell location didn't change from 0 on my drive to my work which takes me across about 20 miles, all of which is covered by cell towers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi and thanks for your collaboration :).

I cant repeat the issue in my two kaiser devices.

Two tests.

1) When the issue happens again click on "Get" button. (right lower button) on main screen. This button forces RIL (Radio Interface Layer) to refresh location info.

2). Ensure option "Enable RIL Notification" on Options2 is checked. Restart CMP to ensure all is fresh. Go to main window and you will see cell and lac. numbersTurn off radio (using today plugin or mail window) and you will see cell and lac to 0. Turn on radio again. I can see the cell and lac numbers again. If you see 0 again please tell me your device model, ROM and Radio ROM version....

Dani.

ps: It would be nice if someone more could do this test too.... :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] short/y:
I'll do this as soon as I have a chance tonight or tomorrow and will post the results. I don't usually have RIL notification turned on since my phone usually seems to track my movements just fine. Recently I've noticed that there are sometimes fairly large gaps in the entries in the Cell History page. This morning, for instance, there were only two cells listed between my home location and my work location even though I've traveled about 20 miles.
