Thanks

Dani,

Thanks I'll give that a go at work in the morning. Have you considered providing something to assist with this? I assume that if I use this technique that I might hit on cell IDs already defined for another location - in which case I can see that I need to keep trying till I find a unique one. Perhaps you could provide a tool to automatically offer up a unique (and appropriate) Cell ID for use to identify a location by?

As there are many Cell IDs per location does CMP use just the one that is actually selected by me within the application or does it consider all the options of allowable cell IDs. Can you also confirm that I must (or should) provide both a 2G and 3G option for each location in case the phone cannot see the band normally used (eg: 3G) and has to use 2G?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi

1)each time the current cell or lac changes CMP looks for a place that has assciated that cell or lac(lac mode or cell mode). So yes, each place may have many lacs and cells associated to it but one cell (or lac) only can be assigned to one place

2) lacs and cells numbers are different in 2g and 3g so you must train cmp in both modes to recognize places in both bands

in addition to the precedent list:

ToDo ist :

a) <TopTextSate> string is missing into the <!-- Place button (Big centered button)--> (portrait & landscape);

i have problems to move it into landscape.. Into the portrait the text is shown well because it's into the original position.

b) text coords for percentages

c) OPS ALREADY WORKS: transparent rgb values for overlay images (used as focus).. i've created a different state for focused/pressed.

d) fix problems with PRESSED state on buttons (try to keep pressed)

e) borders on Big place centered button

..then it's Ok

Soon i'll pm you the last skin files.. so you tomorrow can test all (i have no time tomorrow 4 the PC)

Ps: the actual theme size (complete of images) is 342Kb! i am surprised :eek:

..here is the actual situation.. pm sent ;)

GoodNight!

Finally got back to playing w/.16 on my Cingy Palm 750 - I installed with no problem. However, I am not able to create my initial location per the instructions. Here is how I got to my problem. After installing, I immediately checked the DB intergrity and found 4 errors. Formated and rechecked. No errors. I next stopped CMP and recyled the radio ensuring that my BAND was on AUTO. Next I started CMP and pressed the GLOBE from the Today settings.

Notables: Unknown location, overlaid screen(I suspect due to 240x240 screen). Signal is 64 and power is 53. Looks like it detecting a new version but is partially covered up message. BT is off. No WIFI. The BAND icon shows a handshake symbol. Not sure what that is all about. I don't have UMTS where I live so I can see that my phone is on a G signal indicator.

SO...now to my problem. I click on the ICON(yellow exclaimation) and I get a long vibrate with a popup of Se ha producio un error[Error cargando...]

Looks like I am dead again in my testing. I can stop and restart the app but the same thing happens each time. I am at a loss.

Please let me know what else I can provide to help troubleshoot the problem.

Thanks,

Mickey

wait for this week-end ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi Mickey.

Sorry about the problems. You are missing files becouse of square screen device. I will try to publish today a square version with all the files....

The message "error cargando" (error loading file)" and vibrate is because of a missing image skin file....

Found the SKIN.XML posted on CMP. Will go and try it out now...

--Mick
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
ok but may not work. Many users have emailed me with same problem (vga and square devices).skizzo will finish soon both layouts.....

dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Bad news...I took the SKIN.XML and replaced the one in ..\program files\CommMgrPro\themes\default folder. Rebooted and tried once again. No success. Same message as before.

I did make sure that I went back in a REFORMATED the DB before I rebooted just to be sure there wasn't anything left over from the previous crash.

--Mick
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Yes, I supposed it. I ve removed that file from cmp. This file is old (2 days). I am sure that SkizZo will finish his skin in one or two days and then the skin will work in vga and square devices.

Sorry for the problems it caused to you.

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

V0.9.0.21 out.

It has very important improvements in memory and speed of Microsoft XML Parser used by Skin Engine. I ve uploaded too a VGA version. Its the same that QVGA but workis in VGA.

This update is very important¡ :rolleyes:

Dani

Download from www.commmgrpro.com
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Greetings, I downloaded the SQUARE(VGA) version. Just to be safe, I uninstalled any previous versions plus deleted the CMP folder out of Program Files. I reinstalled plus reset the device. Upon starting CMP(aujomatically), I received a message that it could not open the skin.xml file. I was looking in a sub-folder called SQUARE. Path that I have installed is ..\CommMgrPro\Themes\SkizZo\VGA. It sort of made sense to me to attempt to rename this VGA folder to SQUARE...BONK...I reset one more time and got all kinds of program abends starting with DEVICE.EXE about 3 times and the CommMgrPro.exe. Now I am really stuck. I was able to uninstall and will delete the CommMgrPro folder and wait for instructions or the next fix but wanted to share my experience with the group.

I am guessing there aren't any other SQUARE(what a name for myself) users testing CommMgrPro?

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

You are right. in www.commmgrpro.com there are two version:

1) QVGA: Almost finished.

2) VGA. REally Its qvga but It works although panel appears in top-left quarter.

3) There isnt square version

Currently there isnt square version because SkizZO is finishing it. I could copy qvga version on square version but being smaller some buttons would be out of screen. There are other square "users" but they have older version. Wait a couple of days to square version is finished.

Thanks again for your insteresting. Your help will be very appreciated when square layout is finished :)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peuter202:
First of all, I have to say, the application is great! The last version looks very good and the speed has improved since version 16.

I have a few problems with CMP:

1. In all installed versions my blacklight turns off after using it for a while. When I look to the screen I see an messagebox, which says:

"Unable to identify USB device, please enter name"

There is a text box under it and when I enter a name, I get a new error message. There is no way I get the backlight back on, the only thing I can do is softreset.

2. After I do this softreset, the phone is getting a hard time booting. I found one way, how it could work. Immediately after the phonepad has loaded, I need te enter the PIN code and hit ENTER. If I do it a little bit to late, the phone hangs.

After uninstall CMP all problems are gone.

I use the following programs:

SPB Diary

SPB Time

SPB Pocket Plus

SPB Weather

TofClock Todayplugin

SBSH.net ilauncher

TomTom Navigator

Fit4cat HTweakC 2.0

I have some time this weekend and I am willing to test untill I have to do a hardreset.

I hope you are able to use this information.

Best Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi and thanks to help testing.

What device you have?. cmp doesnt control backlight and anyone hasnt reported a similar problem.

Weeks ago some spb pocket plus users reported hangs and freezes. I installed It and had the same problems but when they uninstalled pocket plus (for trying) the problems went out. I suppose there are problems between them. After researching about it I searched about "spb pocket plus freezes device"(google) and there are thousand of entries talking about it and how these kind of today plugins that run in shell32.exe critial processs could block this process causing a general freeze...

Thanks again for testing :D

In this post you can see the conclussions....

Thanks for this quick response. SPB Pocket Plus is removed and CMP is installed again! I hope this solves my problems, if not I will let you know.

Thank you again!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Thanks to you;)

And dont forget to install latest version (21) ......

Which device you have?

Skizzo Square skin is near....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peuter202:
Sorry, it is a hermes.

I still have problem 2 after uninstall SPB pocket plus and installing CMP. I will remove the programs, one at a time, and try to analyse which program is causing the hangs.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Ok, keep me informed. and, again, which version have you installed?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peuter202:
I installed the latest: Beta V0.9.0.21 SkizZO Skin QVGA WM5-WM6 (2007-04-26))
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peuter202:
After uninstalling SBSH.net ilauncher, the booting problem was gone. For some reason ilauncher doesn't work with CMP and the other way around. For now, I leave the ilauncher of me Hermes.

Thank you and good luck with CMP!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
i have ilauncher & CMP and all works well
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
YEAH...I have downloaded and installed. Seems to work well. Initial observations are good. Some of the cosmetic things that I notice is that using my 750 with one handed operation by using the d-pad controls, the tab sequences aren't in the proper order. I notice going for input to input opportunity is not left to right or top to bottom. Nothing major so far.

I noticed my connection keeps dropping, having Exchange/Push enabled, it keeps connecting. I am now trying to click the ALWAYS box on the COnn. tab and see if that resolves.

On the Dialog tab, I can't see what is below the BOX outline...looks like there may be a button or so. I can still set my location timeframes to specific actions though. So I am not sure I am missing anything too useful.

The test feature for setting a bugus location is cool so I can test through the actions before I get to my set locations. Might want to leave that functionality in after the product goes live.

The skins look really cool. Awesome icons..they are a keeper.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peuter202:
I don't know why my phone hangs, but when I install both programs the Hermes definitly slows down. I will do a hardreset this weekend and then try again.

danielherrero:

Is het possible to create an automated disconnect when the Provider Name changes from your default providername to an other networkname? I live near the border and I do not want to use datatraffic in foreign countries.

Now I do this by hand via CMP or Bandswitch.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mthomas:
startup issue

sometimes when I do a soft reset, either by power down or button on bottom of unit, I get a message at the windows screen that wm5 cannot load CMP. I do not have the exact wording, but it is something like ' cannot open something/something else/commmgrpro.exe. Basicly the path to CMP. Once I acknowledge the message, it continues to start up, and cmp is right there in the sys tray doing its job.

So, in summary, wm5 stumbles over the program on start up, then continues and loads it anyways, and everything is fine. This does not happen everytime, and I have not noticed a causative factor (other than turning off the unit) and I did notice this with band switch as well.

In a commercial product I would be concerned. Am I the only one who has noticed this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Nice to listen it. As you know square layout isnt the final one. Dialogs in square devices need some adjustments too. Today I will try to upload a a new version.....

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Well, I think you can disable connections on roaming. other way is create a new place, for example, "Other country", and assign to it Cells and LACs for the other country. Then create a 24 hours schedule and choose action "connections disabled".

Dani
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi. Did you install cmp in rom or storage card?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
I have one bug report and 2 how-to questions.

Bug

When selecting CELL ID in the PLACES DIALOG, I choose to remove it. I am prompted for confirmation, I click yes. I next get an error message saying Error: Error deleting record in cells. Interestingly enough, I have duplicate CELL entries which perhaps is a bug in itself. I had to add(readd) this cell so my work profile would invoke. I did exeperience these same messages when trying remove a legitimatment cellid in another PLACE defintion too.

HOW TO

1. I am wanting to setup a timeframe(typically at my HOME place) that will cause the device to turn off the CONNECTION between lets say midnight and 8 AM. I have my activesync PUSH turned off at this time so, I don't need email polling either so therefore I don't need a CONNECTION. Do I simply just add a time frame for this time range and turn off the connection? And what happens when I try to manually connect to the internet(or manually poll my email) during this time?

2. At work(by CELLID), my signal is quite weak. I have the device setup to go to 2G and that seems to be working. What I notice though while having my Treo 750 on my desk, is that the device wakes up occasionally and cycles the RADIO off and on. It is almost like CMP is going to a blank CellID back to my WorkCell ID and going through the motions of cycling the RADIO back to 2G. How to prevent this from happening. Is there way I can configure on my end? I guess this could also be a bug too since perhaps CMP should be able to detect let say going from CELLID 44444 to 0 back 44444, perhaps CMP shouldn't do anything as this would be a in and out of cell coverage scenerio.

By the way, Is there a published list of CELL IDs for the US(and other countries)?

Turnning out to be a really cool product now that I can play.

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

1) There are some problems with cells and lac management. It is confirmed. Sometimes there errors removing them. (very strange database errors). I ve to fix it but I wanted to finish skin engine before. (one or two days). I am going to allow export and import the database to XML so you will be able to edit your data "by hand" and import it again.

2) This is my case. I ve set up a schedule called "night" associated to my home where connections, bluetooth and speakes is disabled. But you can in that schedule select connections button and connect internet (breaking the current rule). But rememeber when finish to disable connections again...

3) I recommend to associate a default 24 hours schedule to "unknown place" and set all actions to "not change". In this way if your device looses coverage or enter in unknown place it wont change states.....

Dani.

pd for all. Always keep in mind there are muuuuuch work to do and sometimes is difficult to fix bugs and develop new features at the same time. Thanks again to help me debug and improve cmd. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Thanks for your prompt reply. I think part of my next question is in your future feature list but will repeat for clarity.

In response to #3. My intent is with a DEFAULT 24hr UNKNOWN place is to allow my device to grab a 3G signal whenever possible. This allows me to cruise through my home city/region(3g) and not have to supply cellids for each every location. Changing to "not change" would defeat this logic. Maybe there is another way to handle this scenerio too. What I could do is invoke business hour restrictions to the UNKNOWN place that would be defined as an action of NO Changes. However, no having the DAY selections on the TIMEFRAME would cause this same rule to apply on the WEEKENDS.

I am guessing on your todo list is to include DAY selections for the TIME frame. IE...I want this rule 24 hours only on Monday through Friday. If this isn't on your list, it would be a great one to have to offere the utmose usability.

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

1)I think you could select action "Band auto" for unknown place and 24 hour schedule. In this way phone will be in 3g when Its possible and current place is unknown. But if there isnt 3G coverable then band will be 2G.

2) That is true. To allow selecting week-days is in "to-do" list and will be included as soon as posible :)

Dani

pd: My intention is upload today a new version with latest changes: Memory and size improvements and QVGA-VGA-SQUARE adjustments. In this way you will be able to see all the dialogs correctly. Tomorry I go holidays until wednesday and I wont do "hard work", only important bugs..... (hope zero:))
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Thanks...I will have to work on something similiar. I created an ANYWHERE location and waited to lose my signal. I then immediately assigned the ZERO cellid to this location. I set the actions as appropriate to keep from changing. Doesn't seem to work though.

As a side note this is how I "had" my DEFAULT UNKNOWN setup up. Work was 2G and UNKNOWN was auto. It appeared this switch from WORK to what I was assuming UNKNOWN was causing the RADIO reset from 2g to auto/no signal.

What I was watching just now is that when I lose my signal, the WORK profile was still there even though my phone was showing now signal...Now I am just starting to confuse myself.

Perhaps I should go back to work and do what I am getting paid for? :D

--Mick
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
hehe Your boss would be happy :D .

Well, there is a little confussion about unknown place. You cant create it. When you format or delete the database the only place is "unknown". But you cant create other. It is like a wilcard. In terms of database It has ID 0. This place means "When I am not in known place ". The normal way to configure it is:

1) Create a schedule for it from 00:00 to 00:00 (Strange, I know, but It means 24 hours)

2) Go to actions page and set all actions to "no change" (question icon). In this way the status of your device wont change in not known places

3)BUT, for example, if you want a special behaviour when you arent in a known place then use this schedule. For example, in your case, set band to auto in car. But be aware that switch bands requires reset radio. Because of it you "loose" signal. Really radio is resetting to switch auto band. When you come back to your office cmp will switch to 2g (If you set this action for work place). Again It requires reset radio (so loose signal for some seconds).

Hope it clarifies the term "unknown" place.

pd: In your case I think there is a better solution for car issues. Do you know the locked places?. This is how it works:

1) Create a new place, for example "Car" and accept the creation of a new 24 hour schedule.

2) Set actions as you want the pda behaves being in car. For example, band auto, blutooth, etc.

3) Later, when you are in the car, press place button, then chain icon and choose car place. In this moment settings for "car place" will be applied and wont be modified althought you change the location, time, ..... When you go out from the car press button place and Unlock place.

Dani.

pd: Please dont doubt in ask me all your questions. ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
I hear what you are saying...scratching my head...I just have to figure out how to make an "action" change when I leave work. My intent is for the device to go back to Auto. This WILL occur if I go HOME but if I get LOST(basically I don't go home first), then I will need to remember to manually set to AUTO or whatever actions that I really want. So ...

What I would like to do is paint a CIRCLE(new location) around my WORK CELLID. That is the cells adjacent to WORK would invoke another "rule" that would reset me to some default actions. Maybe this is a request for future feature being that I hope to find a list valid, documented CELLIDs and manually create a place without have to drive all over to map the cells.

Thanks for your patience with me. Sometimes, I try to my phone TOO smart.

What does PD: _______________ in your posts mean...pardon my ignorance please.

--Mickey
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
ahhhhh. Yes, I understand...

Well, dont worry. In the "to-do" list there is a item: "Execute actions when exiting" a known place. So you will be able to associate actions to the exit event of your "work" place....

To create a circle arround the job....well...I imagine you walking arround your office with the Hermes in your hand searching for new cells...:D

pd means, I dont know in english. Well, when you write an email, sign it but you forgot something and you write it on the bottom....

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Well then - thats all my questions for today. An EXIT Action..that will do it.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
I guess I told a story...But this post is for a bug or at least a display descrepency. When displaying PLACEs, I noticed that you only show 4 of the left most characters of the CELLID. I kind of made an assumption that the last character might have been an insignificant digit so to speak. What I noticed driving home was that my CELLID did indeed change from my work CELLID to another number..about 1/2 a mile or so from original location. Problem was that it went from, example, 40241 to 40247. Since the cell id was only showing the first 4, they displayed exactly the same....which(going back a few posts) displays as a duplicate.

--Mickey
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Thanks Mickey.Written down....

Confirmed. The LAC/Cell list only shows 4 digits (bad formatting mask). It explains the issue of duplicated items. Really there arent (cell and lac id are primary keys so Its imposible) but they are shown incorrect. So cells 10000 and 10001 are shown as 1000,1000. This is only a issue of representation but can cause problems deleting or editing cells because the number are taken from the list. It would explain too the message "Error deleting record" that some of you have. Internally cmp manages the complete number.

It will be fixed inmediatly and will be included in next release, probably tomorrow, with final version of skizZo skin and other improvements.

Thanks again :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SkizZO:
final... don't exagerate hehe

There are problems with the popups in the vga version... if you're online connect 1 mom to msn (i speak about the old version yet) and tomorrow you can work on it (ehhe)

problems are that they're cutted...

also "band" button is skipped into focusing

and... see with your eyes :D

Attached are LAST version (for build 0.9.0.21 of CMP) of square, qvga & vga landscape & Portrait skins... delete the old resolution skin subdir before copying the new one.
