[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Zentom:
I've seen a thread for Adreno Drivers for the Mi A1 that enable Vulkan support and make supported games look and run better, but supposedly it only works on Android Oreo.

Are there any driver updates out there for the Snapdragon 625 that add that vulkan support on Android P or Android Q ROMs?

[Realme 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Bertimor:
Hi Everyone,

I have just been checking the smart assistant and all the widgets appear or disappear by going inside of the smart assistant menu and turning them on or off .... except for the photos.

It doesn´t matter if I turn it on or off it never appears.

Is someone else having this issue?

Any solution to that silly problem?

Greets!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xd1936:
Awesome, nice work! Will test soon
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MPIIIMan:
Very useful app!

Installing this right away.

Thank you for sharing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
Thank you! :)

New version added in 1st post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
v1.4 update:

- code optimization, so now you can see results on fly

- added up/down buttons for changing hops value
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stifiling:
no offense...but what would this be useful for??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] open_source:
it's very useful for me, just checking my WLan connectivity or to gathering some information about the network.

i like it

great work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
No offense at all, but I didn't knew that someone will ask what is ping and when/why I should use it when I post this treat here in Development and Hacking.

The ping command is useful for determining the status of the network and various foreign hosts, tracking and isolating hardware and software problems, and testing, measuring, and managing networks.

Anyway, feel free to click on next links for more useful information about ping and what it looks like :)

What a fantastic idea! Thank you very much!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dcat:
Another good program http://www.cam.com/vxutil_pers.html
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
@dcat: Nice tools at one place, but I like my programs fast and clean. And when we talking about speed:

v1.5

- added time statistics for minimum, maximum and average results

- separated errors [destination unknown] from [destination unreachable]

- improved speed

cheers :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
v1.6

- added statistics for sent, received and lost packets

- bug fix
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
It's work as intended. This behavior, can only be USB advanced network functionality problem. To be sure about your IP/gateway address: unplug your USB cable, fire up ping with empty IP/name field. This will return your local IP address: 127.0.0.1, if you are not already connected via WiFi or 3G/CSD. Now, enable WiFi(connected to pc-pc or AP) or 3G/GPRS/CSD connection. Do the same "empty" ping and you will see your WAN/modem assigned IP address. Now type that IP or the one of your gateway in this subnet, and results will be there before you even blink. PingBox can ping itself for sure (much much more), but you have to know your network to start from somewhere...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
v1.7

- correctly show up the keyboard on start or focus text fields

- click on result window will export it in PingLog.txt file in install directory
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] VictorC666:
nice app, but doesnt work for me, when i want to enter ip in dialog box app dissmiss...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
Thanks for reporting! Have to be OK now (check 1st post)

Happy pinging :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
v1.8

- cleanup ip/name field on focus

- fixed application crash when double tap on ip/name field

- on install will check for already installed v1.8 or later(need to remove manually v1.7)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] VictorC666:
thanks, working now i can enter ip but not pinging ;[ nothing happens when enter ip and press ping button
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2385695&postcount=14

Do you have connection with internet or local network via WiFi (not USB/active sync)? Try to ping with empty ip/name field - this have to return your current IP address (127.0.0.1[localhost] if not connected). Also check your firewall on machine you are trying to ping or tell me what kind of error code you receive.

There is no option for "nothing happens" :) After ping, you will see something like this:

- Reply from host (package returned with reply time in ms)

or

- Destination host unreachable (most like firewall or network problem)

or

- Destination host unknown (DNS lookup fail)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] VictorC666:
no, it really does "nothing" :-( no text error, no response at all... But other ping soft like wxUtils works-pings ok

http://rapidshare.com/files/129689152/pingbox_video.avi.html
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
I can't simulate this behavior from your movie... it's really strange. I noticed that you have only ActiveSync connection, but this tool still cant pass trough it. You need something like wifi or csd/gprs/3g modem connection to fill the power of PingBox. Can you try to unplug USB cable and ping localhost or 127.0.0.1. If it's still doesn't work, will post tomorrow some kind of debug version for you.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] VictorC666:
Thanx lot, for you interest, i tried wifi connection too, but it behaves the same way as with activesync connected/disconnected, nothing appears on screen after pressing ping button
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
Hi,

Extract this exe from attached zip on your PPC (no matter where) and run it. Try to ping yourself (127.0.01), google.com and somthing unknown like ggg for example. Please report back what kind of exception you receive after each try. Note, that the hopes field is ignored, so it will ping once at button push.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] the 0ne:
Hi aDEO,

This application is amazing but I do have one request/complaint. Do you have any plans to add an option to automatically connect to "The Internet"?

Side note, I really like the keyboard you are using in the screenshots. Is it available as a CAB?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
Hello mate,

Don't really have time, but maybe I will add this feature in next major release v2.0 when this tool will be totally rewrited in VS2008 (already started, but.. don't know when it will be even in beta). Just for info next one will scan 255 IPs for <5 seconds with all the info you will need about this subnet... and so on :)

I like CRC's HERMES Roms, because there are always only things that I want on my PPC + the fact it's with UC option, so I customize it during install for about 2 mins :) With others words, I don't have that keyboard on cab, so sorry.

See you later
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] VictorC666:
thanks for help, and here we go...

- 64.233.187.99 = nothing

- ggg = nothing
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
Think the problem come when trying to convert Unicode using WideCharToMultiByte which have too much dependences.. Anyway, I hope this will solve it, otherwise will be fixed in next major release, when this tool will be moved in visual studio .net

Thanks for your effort
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] VictorC666:
v1.9 not working... no response, nothing happens when trying to ping anything ;[ "nothing" again...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
This mean that the fix will come in v2.0. See you there :)

Best regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
v1.9

- fixed crash bug on some new cooked ROM builds (like 20270 one)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] VictorC666:
oki, thanks lot :-)

Looking for an iPerf client

aDEO,

I am very interested in your versions 2.0 of PingBox and look forward to it with interest. :)

You seem to be very interested in Internet performance and the Windows Mobile interface programing. I would like to ask if you have any interest in creating an iPerf client for the Windows Mobile client.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/iperf

I have installed on my PC, a Java client called JPerf, but I am hoping that a native WM client could be used, (I would like to stay away from Java performance issues). I would like to use my XV6800 (WM 6.1) for basic iPer testing instead of needing to pull out the laptop.

PM me if you think this might work for a new challenge.

--Bill
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
Hello Bill,

Thanks for your interest about my PingBox and hope soon my PingBox2 :cool:

Actually version2 is more like brand new tool, because it's totally rewrited in VS2008, which give me more freedom to decide how to increase the performance (my primary target here), and also its fastest way to add new features:

- network information (ready)

- mass ping (need some tuning)

- port scan (only idea for now)

- check shares and more...

Oh, too much ideas, and too little time for that.. But will try to upload some beta these days.

Because "iPerf" is a little bit off topic, I will PM you about it :)

Best regards,

aDEO
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stooby:

Dear aDEO

Thank you very much for PingBox (V.1.9). This program is very usfull for me but I have found some problem.

I have test on Asus P535 WM 6.1 Prof.

I can ping by Domain Name but could not ping by IP

[wifi] ping google.com --> OK reply from 64.233.167.99

[wifi] ping 64.233.167.99 --> Destination Host Unreachable (code#3)

[gprs] ping google.com --> Destination Host Unreachable (code#3)

[gprs] ping 64.233.167.99 --> Destination Host Unreachable (code#3)

Waiting for PingBox 2.0 and hope you fixed this problem.

Best Regards.

Jakkrith
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
Hey jakkrith,

Thank you for your comment! I really appreciated structured feedback like yours!

I know about this issue and will fixed it in v2.0 as I've promised. Jest need more free time these days.. Like the peons in Warcraft II: "work! work!" :)

Best regards,

aDEO
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jakkrith:
Dear aDEO

Thank you very much for your reply. I love your project so much. Hope you enjoy with Warcraft II and don't forget to release Version 2.0 that fixed the problem. :)

Best Regards

Jakkrith
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
Hey again,

With Warcraft2 I mean, that I'm feeling like a peon these days: when you click on them, they start to mourn aloud "work! work!"... Even my rogue from WoW suffer from this "no time" syndrome. Too much work, so sorry if I didn't reply quickly.

When I finish the work, I will need someone like you to take a look on v2.0alpha (which is ready for alpha version I think). PM me if you want to see it 1st :)

Best regards,

aDEO
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
Just to announce: PingBox v2.0 alpha is ready and already have testers. I will upload screenshots in 1st post :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
Thanks for all alpha testers:

v2.0 beta

- public beta of v2 released
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
Well it's a little bit hard to continue this project if no one giving me any feedback about this BETA. I perfectly know that this isn't some new fancy tool, giving you new shape, background or brand new skin of your dialer... and that's why no one care about it. So here is the last one from me:

[beta-2]

- added ARP on Scan (retrieve MAC address if the destination is in your local network)...

- added up/down elements in the settings

- added few optimizations (need more work)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Hiero:
could it be possible to include the functionality to auto ping a host in a scheduled periode of time?

and also if theres a bad ping that the tool gives an alarm...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
Yes, its possible and I will include it in some beta..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
[beta-3]

- added <ARP> scanner (only local networks)

- added <Follow> functionality, which give you ability to auto ping a destination host in a scheduled period of time

- added audio notification if destination host didn't reply on time using <Follow>

- close button now will minimize form, allowing you to start <Follow> and just continue with your work

- some settings are cleared up

- moved hopes field in <Settings> tab
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Hiero:
thx for this implementation!!! ... but, on a normal ping the are some replies but not on the <Follow> Ping: "Request timed out". whats wrong?

And the background work needs lots of memory :(

maybe its possible to improve the efficiency?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
Thanks. Will take a look about this later tonight, but can you try to increase ping timeout value from settings tab?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Hiero:
ok i've tried it and increased the ping time out to 750 and more ms and its working now....

tried 250 and 500 ms in different combinations.. => time out
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
With PING command parameters, you can adjust the way the PING command performs its test of connectivity.

The PING command includes various parameters, such as packet length and wait time for a response. The wait time of 1 second (1000ms) allows the remote system enough time to respond in most networks. However, if the remote system is far away or if the network is busy, increasing the wait time parameter can improve the results.

I will set for now on the default value of timeout parameter to be 1000ms.

Still looking for way to fix memory hunger when <Follow> work in background. Stay tune :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Hiero:
ah ok thx for the information.

would be great if you can do something to reduce the memory hunger :)

if there are some new "questions" or if you need some tests, feel free to contact me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hotrod101:
I've got a question

I've got a question. Do you think that this Pingbox while running could be used to keep my devices wifi connection established (Keep wifi from shutting off and going into standby). Presently - If I am listening to music from my WIFI home network, the device goes into standbye and I loose my wifi connection as this goes into standby as well. As soon as the current song is done playing, it won't play the next song as it can't find the directory because connection was lost.

I use ping on my laptop for work to stay connected to a VPN Network ( if I am connected and am not constanlty saving or loading new pages it disconnects me from the network within a few minutes) Using Ping allows the system to see constant activity resulting in me not loosing my connection to the server.

Do you think that this would work for connecting to my home network and keep me from loosing my home network connection.

This would need : that Pingbox does not also disconnect upon the phone going into powersaver mode -

It would also need to be not too heavy on the devices resourses as it is i guess also

How is the Battery consumption while using Pingbox?

Can it be set to just continuously send and receive unlimited pings

I don't know much about this subject - I was just told to do it and how to do it with my work laptop and it works for that so I am wondering will it work with this problem as well.

if it works it might be another useful tool people might be interested in.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
Will need some tests on version beta4 (incoming in next 2 days I belive) about this memory issue. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
Hello hotrod101,

Thanks for your comments!

The <Follow> functionality in PingBox2 is the way to keep your connection live. All you have to do, is to set up destination and hit Follow button. I'm ready with the power management by preventing device to enter in stand by mode(which will stop your connection) if <Follow> is executed, but will include it in next version (in next 2 days I believe). Just check your PM to get the latest build with this power management.

aDEO
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Hiero:
no new version?

what about your updates?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jakkrith:
Dear aDEO

I have just test PingBox 2 Beta 3 on my Asus P535 WM6.1 and would like to report the result for you.

1. If connect via Wi-Fi ---> PingBox work fine it can ping by IP or by Domain Name.

2. If connect via GPRS ---> PingBox not work. it can not ping any IP or Domain Name.

Best Regards

Jakkrith
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jakkrith:
Dear aDEO

I have test PingBox 2 Beta 3 on my Asus P535 WM6.1 again.

1. If connect via Wifi PingBox work fine. It can ping by IP and by Domain Name.

2. If connect via GPRS PingBox not work. It can't ping by IP and by Domain Name.

Jakkrith.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] neborkia:
Maybe your internet provider block the ping through gprs?

Nice app, it would be great if it will include also the WHOIS command... but i know that it's a little bit out of the scope...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
Sorry about this waiting! I really wish to have more free time for this project, but as you all noticed, there wasn't enough these days.. So here we go again:

[beta-4]

- preventing stand-by mode when <Follow> is active

- code optimization, to allow disposing some resources
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
Hi Jakkrith,

Please be more specific about this "not work". Does this mean, that PingBox2 rise some application error, or just return "Request Timed Out" message, or you see something else?

GPRS is a little bit slower for the default value of the TimeOut parameter, which is increased to 1000ms(1sek) from the latest beta4. In most cases this value will be enough to allow PingBox2 to retrieve information about each ping, before timeout on each packet. If this value is not comfortable for your needs, you can always increase/decrease it with just few clicks in settings tab. Please know, that this values are for the current session, so even you change them, they will reset to their defaults next time when you start this tool (they will be savable soon).

Best regards,

aDEO
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
Thank you, neborkia! This tool started from just one ping command, and take a look now... I will try to keep it as clean as possible, but still with everything you need to check your connectivity.

Best regards,

aDEO
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
Please report back in order to continue this project.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
[beta-5]

- added functionality to save your current settings

Please report back in order to continue this project.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rwertz14:
As a suggestion, I would update Post 1 to reflect the new update with date so people know this is still being worked on. This is such a great tool, and I sure hope you continue to develop it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
Thank you!

It's actually updated, but with date mask dd/mm/yyyy (04/11/2008) :)

Seams that its a little bit confusing, so I will update it in a minute.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
Announce:

I'm working on WhoIs functionality, which you will be able to try... very soon :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
[beta-6] (17-NOV-2008)

- added WhoIs functionality
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xplode:
Awesome tool aDEO, nice to see bulgarian developers for PDA in this site :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ArunOnline:
Thanks aDEO, the whois functionality is working fine. If anyone is unable to use it, make sure that you enter the domain name in the format: domain.com
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
Thanks!

It is a pleasure to read comment from bulgarian, taking into consideration this forum :)

Best regards,

aDEO
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
Thanks for this remark, ArunOnline!

The best way to receive correct information from this, is to querying by using domain names, but IP addresses are fine for PingBox2 also.

I don't have really time to fully test it, so any comments about this are welcome. :)

Best regards,

aDEO
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
[Final-2.1] (24-NOV-2008)

- added <Follow> alarm mode settings, which will help you to choose when to trigger the alarm sound

- added installation cab file

- added shortcut in Programs

- uninstall is now possible
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
Still working on this project, for some performance improvements. I will be glad to hear, if someone have suggestions or features requests. Thanks!

Best regards,

aDEO
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kosmarnik:
Nice little bundle of tools.

One feature I'd love to see implemented is copy-paste. Maybe a list of recently used addresses?

It's hard enough to type ip addresses, so once should be enough.

Even on a Tytn II with hw keyboard it's still a pain in the butt, as as you can't get numbers and the dot in the same mode :(

Keep up the good work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alt236:
Hello!

I Just stubled to this useful project (I really like the follow capability).

Just a number of suggestions:

1. It would be great if you could add traceroute in the toolbox. No network toolbox is complete without it :p

2. Add the ability to change the Whois Server you are querying.

3. Copy and paste would also be very usefull (although you can achieve the same effect by using ctrl+c and ctrl+v on the soft keyboard but it's not very practical).

4. DNS lookup / Reverse DNS Lookup

5. Adding a bookmarking capability to keep often used addresses.

6. A list of recent addresses.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iRiKi:
the bookmark is definitely a plus! that's why i still use Pocket Ping - v1.6 alonside PingBox2.

i love the whois feature, many thx aDEO !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jpmatrix972:
hi

i was looking for a light tool to keep my internet connexion up on my pocket and i just found pingbox !!!

testing in progress , i'll report back here soon :)

thank you !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jpmatrix972:
hello again

it seems PingBox succceed in maintaining my hsdpa internet connection :) great ! i've set a 30s follow rules on www.yahoo.fr

can you tell me if the log automaticly cleans itself ? it seems it can get bigger... could you implement a no log-setting, or a 10 lines wrap-up for example? i think it's not really helpful to have a so long log for that follow function.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aDEO:
[2.1.1] (01-FEB-2009)

- added bookmark context menu in <Ping>, <WhoIs> and <Follow> tabs. Hold your stylus over the text box, to use this feature. The bookmarks are saved in "bookmarks.txt" file, which can be modified easily if needed

- added limitation in <Follow> log window, to hold maximum 15 rows (FIFO)
