Hi thanks for replying..I Have dotnet 3.5 on my pda running WM2003SE but when i tried to run ur application...its says not a valid cab file...

can u check into it if u find time..plz
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
This version will not run on WM2003SE. I will see if I can support it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
I am currently working on a C++ version and it is progressing nicely. However the bad news is that my Touch is dead and I have to buy a new phone. You are welcome to help me a bit by doing a small donation.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sathya:
WOW Thank u so much..will be waiting for WM2003SE version...thank u once again
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alfibus:
on Mio A701 works very well, thanks for sharing this!

I'm not exactly good at this, is there a way to launch this app from the volume keys? Otherwise it will be an app (which need a launcher).

As far as i know, the best use could be with Wisbar Advance Desktop
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MasterOfDesasters:
Actually it is planned to not use a background picture anymore. With C++ and transparency we will be able to display the circle directly on the today screen. So far Marc is facing some difficulties with shadows but I promise you, it looks quite awesome.

Stay tuned.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ultravox:
I hope that VGA can be supported !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MTM:
Just commenting to make the thread stay alive and say that this app is really great. I hope you can make it start faster and implement the vibrate function. I always switch between vibrate and normal mode, so my preferred way for this program to work would be to have the button in the middle to switch vibrate mode on/off and then maybe the silence mode could be triggered by pressing and holding the middle button for a second or two.

Just my thoughts :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] delawaresace:
thats a great idea. i like the two or three second feature for the toggle between vibrate and silence.

i came across this app over on the ppcgeeks and love it. i will be keeping an eye on this for further developments.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
Just a short update on the C++ version. It is almost done :). I still have to clean the code and do some small optimizations but the speed is amazing compared to the .Net version.

If all goes well I will release it early next week.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MTM:
Sounds good. Have you altered anything or is it just a port to C++?

Looking forward to early next week ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
I added some ideas from the thread.

Be patient :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
I want it!!!

What's new to drool over?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] J0nas:
I hope that Close Button and Vibrate mode can be supported and maybe landscape compatible.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
Hi,

I released the C++ version a little earlier then announced. I hope you like it.

Have a great weekend!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MrHarm:
Whoa...the new version is really fast! Now the app is truly a good tool and not "just" eye candy.

Great work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
Yay!!!

Liking the timeout feature already :D

I'll test it more intensively now, and I'll test beta versions if that makes up for the loss of your Touch... (I would donate, but my paypal account and my bank account aren't really talking to each other! :mad:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] J0nas:
well... on my HTC Wizard (qtek 9100),

hardware and software volume buttons, not work with program.

Landscape mode - Work

Todo:

* open when clicking the volume icon - not work

* open when using hardware buttons for volume - not work

* transparent background - not work

* Lanscape mode - work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] azzambm:
Great Update...

Thanks a million...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bonzai15:
Very good program, works perfectly on my Wizard.

I think a great addition would be that the program closes when you click anywhere outside the circle instead of the right upper corner only.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] J0nas:
Maybe my fault? :o

Where are this buttons?

* open when clicking the volume icon - not work

* open when using hardware buttons for volume - not work

thnks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
It's an icon in the start menu...

It doesn't take over from the windows system...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
These 2 features are not created so far. Thats why they are in the Todo list and not in the Features list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] baldeagle:
Works on VGA device, but dial image is small. Is the graduated background an image? if yes then you need to add some noise to it to stop the banding in the image.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
I'd guess from that that the background is not an image, as the top and bottom of the band line up with the top/bottom of the dial on QVGA, rather than being away from the dial...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] J0nas:
ups...:o:o

Sorry!!

Keep good work!! :D:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] baldeagle:
Ok I've answered my own question, the background is an image, so I've updated the image and it's a lot smoother (see attachement). The first is the original, the second my tweaked one.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sneeuwtijger:
Great !

Wauw - thx for this update :cool:

Can not wait for more to come ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Synned:
Awesome update! How about when you hit vibrate, the phone gives a short vibrate. Much like Vibra.exe

Thanks for all the work

Joe
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bassjam:
very great work

thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] EnsconcE:
Very nice work, thanks!

The landscape mode works, but setvolume exits when i change back to portrait. This happens after a few seconds, i think it is a bug...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Blowfish64:
I agree that having it exit when you tap anywhere other than the circle would be excellent as soon as transparency is added.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teocell:
Hi, it's a nice sw but on my LG KS-20:

* open when clicking the volume icon - not work

* open when using hardware buttons for volume - not work

* transparent background - not work

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JR_de:
It's not a bug - it's a feature: :)

"closes after 5 seconds when doing nothing"

Read the updated first post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JR_de:
Read the first post carefully - these things are in the "Todo" list. They will be added sometime later...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teocell:
Sorry, I read too quickly... So I'll waiting for the new release ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Blowfish64:
Any chance of putting a button on there to toggle between main and ringer volume circle? That way we wouldn't need the default volume bubble at all.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] S.V.I:
wizard

not working with my wizard. :(

the hardware slider buttons do not activate the app.

and it does not turn the volume back on from vibrete.

alsò question:

does it control the main volume or the ringer volume?

Looks really awesome and a great concept unfortunately I CANT USE IT. because by the time I find the app I may have as well used the builtin vol changer.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
That is not implemented yet, but it may be if the developer can!

What ROM and device are you using?

AFAIK, it only changes the Main volume.

You can always assign it to a hardware button... I've got it assigned to a long press key instead of Voice Recorder.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tft:
so basically the phones built-in hardware volume slider won't work?

i don't want to install this app if i have to launch the program manually or by assigning it to a different key.. can anyone clarify?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JR_de:
This is in the "Todo" list in the first post and will be added in a future version of the application.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] edkmho:
First of all, it is a very cool application. Thank you and keep up the great work.

I am not sure if it is a bug or just my phone. I am using FinixNOver 3.4 WM6.1 OS and whenever i reset my phone, SetVolume will mute it. That mean after reset the phone boot up with the volume is zero/muted.

Please help. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
I can't say it for sure but I would say that this is not releated to the program as it doesn't run on startup.

What are the volume settings before you do the reset?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
As my touch is still dead I need someone who owns a phone with dedicated volume buttons to help me testing a new version.

Please respond to this thread and not by sending me private messages.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oseven:
I'm here if you need me ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
I can test it on my Prophet (it has a slider rather than buttons, but they function in the same way as the buttons on other devices).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gerazzo:
Very nice software but unconfortable to use for me.

I think than when you will add all the features you list in "to do:" section (opening when clicking on the volume icon first of all) it will become a very very usefull and goodlooking plug-in for our devices.

Thanks for you work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FInixNOver:
I can also test it in a Prophet with volume slider.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
I've been testing it on mine, and so far, it's awesome! :D

Keep up the good work MarcLandis!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JukEboXAuDiO:
Does this have a vibration control yet?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alhuang69:
I had tested the SetVolume on my elfin (Touch), it works but cannot activiate it by sliding the hard key " can't open when using hardware buttons for volume"............
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aguas:
my vibration works fine when set through the program.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] naser404:
how about having it Vertical like in touch Diamond ? Also the problem with Diamons is that System volume & Ring volume is separeted , it would be nice to have them in one page, just a suggestion.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bigbest:
hi,

i've tested on my BA (qtek 9090) with wm6. It works but only the volume of the ring doesn't work: for example if the setVolume is 40%, the sounds of the phone are at 40% (it's ok) but the volume of the ring remains to 100%.

Instead it works all if set the vibration and the silent mode.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
The current released version does not have this feature. Please read the first post carefully.

I am planning to release a new version soon.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Z3rO`:
I can test it on my kaiser.

It has a jog wheel for volume control.

Greets

Z3rO
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
The wheel on the Kaiser are no dedicated Volume buttons. It will already work if the application has the focus.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] open_source:
if u still need testers i can do it on my wizard.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
New version out! Read the first post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oseven:
Very nice. Auto-close feature was a good idea. Could you consider making a skinnable version if/when you release a new version?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
Basic skinning is already planned.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
Excellent! Is there any form of customization (timeouts etc) in this, or a planned version?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Blowfish64:
I know you said you can't change the increment already, but I don't understand why not? Other programs are able to do this, plus the default windows volume control has 10 steps rather than 5 as on this program. Any chance of making it 10?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
I don't think WM will actually be able to use more than 5 stages, I think the 10 or so stages use an intermediate system for the sound before sending the output to WM...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
The next version will have some customizable settings like the timeout.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
When you click on the volume icon in the task bar how many steps do you have on your phone?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JR_de:
Other programs don't touch the windows volume control - they have their own gain function built in.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Blowfish64:
10. Plus the last one which is mute. The ringer volume has 5 steps, but the system volume is 10.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ufufu:
This is getting perfect! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
What device do you have? All WM phones I know have 5 steps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Blowfish64:
Ah, my mistake. I'm using Wisbar Advance, which gives the extra 5 intervals. I've had it on all the time for so long I'd forgotten the OS's default limitations. Ah well. Nonetheless, if you are just TOTALLY bored someday and have the time to implement your own gain function into this, it'd be awesome.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Z3rO`:
Sorry, my bad. I don't use that wheel too often. :)

Is there a way to assign your program to the Wheel?

I didn't find an option to do so.

Thx in advance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
Do you want do use the wheel to change volume while the application is hidden?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Z3rO`:
My plan was to assign the wheel completely to volume control. So even if your app isn't running, scrolling or clicking the wheel should start it.

I don't need the scroll features of the wheel since I use the d-pad for scrolling.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JR_de:
support for hardware volume slider is in the latest version
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tom108:
great job with the updates. i love the hide feature that allows me to reopen it with the volume rocker. only issue i see wit this is the in call volume control. if the app is hidden and i need to raise or lower the volume while in a call i have to use the icon at the top of the screen. if i hit the volume rocker while in call it just brings up the phone and device volume. ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MarcLandis:
This will be fixed with the next version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tom108:
Thanx! Great work. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FInixNOver:
Thank you so much for this nice app. I'm loving it, and it's great that you have included the ability to change the ringer volume.

But...:o There always have to be a but...

I'm still missing the ability to mute the device with just one press (or two)

Let me explain.

To mute the device completely (system and ringer volume) we have to lower the system volume, switch to the ringer volume and lower it.

I know we can press the center button for 2 seconds and it will mute the system sound, but the same doesn't apply to the ringer volume.

Wouldn't it be easier if, when pressing the center button, it would cycle between the 3 major states - Sounds ON(system+ringer)/Sounds OFF(system+ringer)/Vibrate?

Everything else seems just great.

Sorry for this and I don't mean to complaint. It's only a suggestion, and with it you could simplify the usage a bit.

Waiting for your reply.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] extraducksauce:
awesome app. looks and works great!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] franjorge:
Sortinchkey compatibility

Hi,

Your work is very interesting as I have been waiting for an application like Setvolume.

However I have noticed that the new version volume hooks are not compatible with Sortinchkey (freeware to assign keys to actions), eventhough I do not have any hook defined in Sortinchkey for the volume

keys.

A possible workaround I have thought of is to control Setvolume via Sortinchkey, but to do so I miss the option to pass parameters to Setvolume. One parameter would be to increase volume and another to lower it.

Maybe you could add either the compatibility with Sortinchkey or the parameters option in the next release.

Thanks,

Fran
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
I've just thought of one thing that isn't planned, that for me would make it even better... Is there any way that tapping on the screen (other than the buttons and the actual volume control) could be made to minimize the app...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emil290305:
another great work man. :) Look pretty well.

You will get a free Coffee next week.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ljinsane:
ive been using this for about a week now...love it...good work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] drunkbastard:
First off, this is a great looking app.

Now, to the issue: I have noticed that every time SetVolume is activated and used, it gobbles memory. I am using the Tilt 6.0 ROM (my phone is still under warranty, I don't wanna run the chance of screwing it up, when the warranty runs out it's game on... but I digress), and the more I change the volume, the more memory vanishes. On a soft reset, I have 68.0 Mb of memory available. I lose about a meg or so every time I adjust the volume using SetVolume. Question: am I the only one experiencing this? Only asking because heretofore no one has posted this symptom. This may be something to address in the next version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] brol1k:
first of all great app, i luv it and i am using it on my touch, but one problem is that when u start the app, it automatically maps to the voloume rocker/slider/jobg dial, and then when u tap on the upper right corner to close it, the app isnt mapped to the volume button anymore and we have to let it shut off by itself, if not we have to go under programs and open it again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ixtana_ran:
Smartkeys bug

Great app, Just noticed that when it's running it maps the softkeys for up/down volume, this interfears with the ability to close programs by holding down the right soft key? Could this be changed in your next release please.

Just found reason for this, it's only the app in the SmartKeys.ini exeption list. Will close them another way. Not a Bug sorry.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] woehrl:
nice, but if i press the Hardware "OK"-Button it wants the change the volume
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TweakMyDevice:
Very nice looking app, however there is no vibrate funtionality. I downloaded the cab in the first post and tapping/holding the middle button only mutes, no vibrate. What gives?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TweakMyDevice:
Disregard previous post...I got it working. Thanks for a great app!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gundalbert:
Hi,

it's nice to see how this app is growing, I like it a lot.

The only thing that's bugging me off is the beeping sound when changing the volume ;) I know this is the WM standard sound but it beeps really often, at least at my artemis.

Could you provide a possibility to

a) change the sound played

and/or

b) disable the sound when adjusting the volume?

Keep on the good work.

PS: Sorry if this was already requested in some way, I was too lazy to read all pages this early in the morning ;-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aguas:
the earlier versions had no beeps when changing volume.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gundalbert:
I know, but they also had less functionality, that's why I don't really want to downgrade ;-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TweakMyDevice:
It does that to me too. Not all the time though. This app is great but that is an annoying bug. Anyone know how to get around it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dan1967:
I have a permanent script running (mortcsript) and I added 4 lines in it to check if the process exists (procexists("setvolume.exe") , waits 10 sec and then kill it.

Saves memory too.

Nice little app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jsanta11:
If anybody has the Previous version of setvolume ( which is 0.2) could you please email it to me. I rather have the previous one and set it to one of the hardware keys , The new one just clings onto the ok button and it's a problem. I would greatly appreciated it.

Thanks :D

Jsanta11@gmail.com
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gregoryx:
I removed it for this reason.

If I could just launch it at MY preference - and leave the other buttons alone if I want - that'd be preferable to me.

Can I?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bluber:
really nice app! i really like the concept behind it, cuz i was looking around all the time to have a volume changer that is fingerfriendly.

but :-) there a still some little minuses for me

- i would like it to change both, system and phone volume, and not just on of them.

- i would like to have two small separate buttons to faster and easier switch between the 3 different states (sound/mute/vibrate), cuz i never know if i just have to tap oder tap and hold to get where i want. if there would be two mal buttons that show the states that are not selected it would be way easier to swith with one button press.

- i also favor to have an option to map it to a hardware key, perhaps same things to chang with a little option menu.

- last i like to have a button or just the behavior to close the app by ether taping the upper right corner or just let it go of by it self :-) so it would be kind of self determin if i want to wait till it closes or if you want to push an other button to move on faster :-)

perhaps i could give you some input for further development :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LivinOne:
good input... for one of the most useful apps!

I'd like to mapping it to start using Long Press of one of the keys.. like the IE key, something used less often.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bikertibi:
Memory problem

This app have a very big bug. After several uses, the memory of my phone is filled unexpected, without explanation.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bobcio:
Hi Marc,

I was trying to use your so promising tool "Setvolume" on my HP iPaq Pocket PC H5500. Saddly, I have got WM2003 on it and your tool seems to only work on WM5 or higher. It is a bummer! Because I'd love to have a wonderfully slick volume tool like that of yours. Is there any way to make it work for me on WM2003?? Or any other version of it that would make me smile???

Hoping and thanking for your help!!!

Tomasz in Düsseldorf
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Blowfish64:
1) You already can.

2) I personally like it the way it is, but ok.

3) You already can.

4) You already can.

Have you tried this program?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bluber:
oh yes i tried it, that is why i can say i like it.

but when i say it doesnt on mine then it doesnt.

1) i can change to what ever value i want, but only the phone volume is going up and down (left of the sound sliders from original sound control)

2) it was just an idea and a preference of mine, doesnt have to be yours too :-)

3) yes i can map it to a hardware key, by using other programs :-) but i ment to map it to the volume up and down key, that could be kind of handy but does not have to be. its probably also just personal perference tooo.

4) i can press on the screen where ever i want, but the program is not closing from that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Blowfish64:
There's a button on bottom center that toggles between phone and ringer. And if you press on the top right corner, it closes. At least it does on mine. That doesn't work for you? Or did I misunderstand you and you wanted it to close if you pressed anywhere besides the wheel?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dinoalbert:
same problem here.

where can I find the older versions?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bluber:
:D took quite some practise to finde the wright spot, but after soooooome tries i managed to get it to close.

thanks for the advice concerning the icon bottom center, i thought that is is just showing the state of the phone, like the additional option changing with the - and the +.

but i am really struggeling to get the wright volume settings, one time i have to switch each volume separate and mess up just dont get to mute wright a way.

seems i really need some practise with the handling :D

still would be nice to have 2 small extra buttons to switch directly to one of the states not choosen befor.

might it be possible to add an 3rd icon, besides the phone and system sound, that it is possible to change phone, system or both volumes at once by that?
