I have been in contact with your tech support. I am having issues with the weather auto update. I have installed v 1.5.1 and still the timestamp on the weather detail popup does not show the latest weather update. I have the weather set to update every hour, however, several hours may go by and the timestamp is not updated.

I am using an HTC Touch Cruise with WM6.0.
[General Topics] HTC-Master:
Touch cruise also freezes when I multi-touch it.

Could have more options (search based style)
[General Topics] dvdtech:
Hello, in my opinion, can improve contacts:

1) use photos of contacts

2) if I do not know the photos to show the name

3) if I have several numbers by holding down slightly to show the other numbers of contact.

thank you

fab

p.s when tap the alarm in today freeze my phone (htc cruise original italian rom)
[General Topics] FInixNOver:
Same here!!

If I could have weather support for "Viana do Castelo, Portugal", this plugin would suit all my needs. The rest is very, very nice. It rocks!!
[General Topics] abienguyen:
Thanks you all for your idea, sure with version 1.6 you will feel the fresh air of Hinavigator,

Well, i am quite impress by this software so far, still using the old version 1.5 and looking forward to have the update version, besides the stability (react pretty slow on my device sometime), the rest are working flawlessly on my Asus P750 VGA..

Way to go, worth to try.
[General Topics] voxid:
still freezes though uninstalling nice touch. still don t know when it happens. but find out freezing with the alarm settings also.
[General Topics] voxid:
would be great to have seperated ini-files for eg the settings of the weather, to get more cities, for the settings of the programs and for the other links in the home screen... (alarm, mail, messages etc.. (also for keeping settings at updating)

greets voxid...

ps: it s the best homescreen i found till now.

pps: i could help you in translating to germany.
[General Topics] abienguyen:
Many thanks for your compliment, :)

we highly appreciate your kindness, sure we will send you files to translate to germany.

Currently:

Fixed - freezing with the alarm settings

added more time-stamp for weather update

Photo contact support name if image is not available

Save/Load configuration is nearly completed

[General Topics] tomasW:
OK, very simmilar what happened to me in past days.

1) demo licence expired in less then 24 hours, not after 14 days.

2) I decided to use the special 50% discount and purchased HiConcept, but later realised that they charged me full cost. One e-mail and they promised to return the overpaid 50%. OK. May happen.

3) After installation of HiConcept discovered that today revolution in this package is not the same as been visible as sample screenshot in many reviews and is not possible to use features from today revolution as visible on another product HiNavigator. OK, not major investment - so I purchased it. Just as entered card details I discovered that they charged me triple times !!!

I was ungry. Sent them e-mail and their shop provider replied almost instantly that it´s mistake and will credit me those 2 extra charges back. AGAIN problems with their webshop application.

4) Key generator works but when I tried to download full version, there is page filled with error code as you mentioned. Same thing.

I downloaded demo version and unlocked it with generated code. I tried to setup weather for my location and few mods on main tab settings. Worked until first restart. Then the device appeared locked, slider does not react, phone (i780) just click and beeps but no responses to anything, impossible to connect it. Damned...

Looks like big problem. Did not hard reset yet, but if I will have to - it would be warning to everybody to even test it on i780

UPDATE:

I got it working after many restarts - key was to connect it on PC and try to get access to files in device. Between about 100 restarts with and without SIM card happened that I was able to open the device from PC and finally able to rename the PPCLink folder. Even when it constantly hangs on PC after attempt to rename, it happened once and after one restart it reported missing PPCLink files and it was OK. I removed it totally to get system working fine and now playing with it again, but now without LOCK application. I´m sure that it happened after I added our city (Prague) in the weather tab with automatic update. Somehow it does not work with the screen lock.

UPDATE2:

OK, on i870 (WM6) is not working ALT-TAB, task manager and NiceTouch.

[General Topics] typeadam:
I just want ONE thing fixed and ONE option added:

FIX:

The battery meter. On my Treo 800w the meter ALWAYS stays the same and only updates when I plug in to charge. Basically it will not change unless I change its power source.

ADD OPTION:

Clicking either the 'alarm' icon or the clock will allow me to open the alarm program of my choice. The WM6.1 alarm that it defaults to is a sad joke.

Other than that, the thing works great!

Thanks!
[General Topics] tomasW:
At the moment it´s even worse then before. I am at situation, that version from HiNavigator (today revolution 1.1) does not update the clock at all. Simply I see the clock as is there after restart and that´s all. No animation, nothing.. Version from HiConcept (I had it before) works, but the clock looks horrible and it does not highlight new messages as the other version. Did anybody experienced such problem?
[General Topics] Physboy:
I am having the exact same issues. Also, the weather does not work at all either, it causes the device to freeze when attempting to update. This developer is just sitting back creating substandard work and collecting as much as possible from individuals foolish enough to support him.

I have since uninstalled it completely and am using SPB Mobile Shell. At least everything works as advertised with SPB's software.
[General Topics] naguz:
Installed this now, on my Samsung i780. No RealVGA or other stuff running, just clean Samsung 6.1 rom.

Three major problems:

1: The today app doesn't take up the whole screen. It only covers the top part of the space between the top and bottom bars.

2: The task-manager plugin said it was expired, right after install.

3: After soft-resetting, and making sure no other todayplugins was selected, I tried to reinstall the todayplugin. Result: Both the todayplugin and the lock screen was suddenly expired as well. All thre apps expired in less than ten min. Impressive. And the only one that ever worked half decent during those minutes, was the lock screen.

I was really impressed by what i saw (screens and vids) before I installed, and I really like the customization options and how they are implemented even after install. But the bugs are rendering it totally unusable, and it is quite clear that this should never have been a 1.8-release. 0.8a, maybe...

edit: Adding to the list of problems: The task manager would neither uninstall or reinstall.

Looking at more sreens now, it seems like it's not supposed to take up the whole screen height. Any way to change that setting? Wasting good screen real estate.
[General Topics] mgw_atom:
Why bother?

After reading the last two pages of messages I am honestly wondering why anyone would bother to install this software...

I came here after watching some of the videos on the PPCLINK homepage and also thought this was a nice piece of software, but after reading the last few messages here I won't even try and touch it. I'm not masochisticly inclined.
[General Topics] Physboy:

We have just uploaded version 1.5.2 with bug fixed:

# Fixed - freezing with the alarm settings

# added more time-stamp for weather update

# Photo contact support name if image is not available

Save/Load still need to develop since version 1.6 needs more parameters so we not include the feature in version 1.5.2

Hinavigator for WM 2003 still version 1.5.1

have you changed the device owner name? if possible give us steps to reproduce the problem.

Phone Profile... Bluetooth keeps "unchanged"

Hi everyone. I'm very happy with HiNavigator. Very user friendly, easy to use, and nice to look at :)

I'm trying the 1.5.2 release on my samsung i780. I've discovered under the Phone Profile editing form some parameters to modify Bluetooth and Phone Activation. For these both parameters, my modification doesn't affect my mobile, and when editing back their status remain "unchanged".

For example, i'd like to turn off Bluetooth for the "normal" profile and to turn it on for my "car" profile. This will help a lot my battery :D

To validate the form i've used the "Done" and/or "Ok" button, without any effect on the bluetooth activation when I change my phone profile from HiNavigator.

Thanks a lot for your help and advises,

Lionel

I am using the 1.6 beta and the bluetooth option in the phone profiles still does not hold the setting. Otherwise I really like this product. It has very clean graphics and is very configurable. I can't wait until the final version of 1.6. I think the slide to unlock will be a very nice option.

Same "problem" with 1.6Beta as described some posts before. Bluetooth option remains "unchanged". Congratulations for your "now screen" capture, but how to use it ? When i lock my device nothing changes. Where to activate now screen displays ?

Thanks again,

[General Topics] JNGold:
I really like this application and find it much more flexible than the HTC Home app. However, I am really disappointed in the weather component which does not seem to work as advertised. I find that the auto update does not update anywhere near the setting in the weather settings.

As I understand, the developer has not gotten any complaints from any other people regarding this issue. I refuse to believe that my Cruise is the only device this happens on. Apparently, the weather update does not use the notification queue but instead relies on some internal application timer. Regardless, it doesn't seem to be working well.
[General Topics] abienguyen:
@ Anyone can test weather Auto-Update for us, we have tested at our site and the updated time is correct but do not know why JNGold always got wrong, manual update is OK.

@ About Nice Touch Engine, we are working very hard on this module, as you know there are many apps use the same Hook technology so it will cause the problem if there is one software used this before Nice Touch,

Anyway we will try our best on the next release,

We will try to support this feature as soon as we can.

The Beta version with full features is available at:

http://www.ppclink.com/?ppclink=product&do=view&id=64&type=trial_download

But only have EXE file to install from Desktop, we are having a short trip so we will upload other version(German...) on the next Monday.

About Task manager, we are working on the Finger Friendly version, and sure it will be more useful than the current version.

If you have any idea about Task Manager, please sent the comment to abienguyen@ppclink.com

Have a nice weekend to all

[General Topics] zenkinz:
hi abienguyen,

I like the plugin, it's simple enough for me. but I have a problem with the photo contact. Can you use the contact photo that's assigned in the default contact application? It's very unproductive having to assign new photo file (plus gif not not accepted) to all my quick contacts when i had already assigned that in contact app.

also, when hitting the lock icon, it goes to the device lock, instead of the pin lock. Can you support this pin-lock?
[General Topics] JNGold:
Can anyone verify that that the weather component is indeed updating itself based on the auto update settings? I even set the auto update to every 10minute but the time stamp does not reflect the update.

I am not running any other componentjust the today plug in.

"the best Home-replacement so far"

Post will be updated as needed please re-visit (For a clutter-free XDA-Devs)

This is truly "the best Home -replacement so far".

Just now, setting up the 1.6Beta and I'm really liking the sleek looks and nice configurability of the app.

You're seriously getting me to consider buying this piece - which is pretty unique i can assure you. -

However I would really like to know whether your app will allow me to configure a seconds display in the clock - preferably on both home-screen and lock-screen. Is this an option?? and if so, how would i go about this?

(Possible) Bug Experience:

-Autoupdate of the weather only seems to be working via activesync - 3G/HSDPA still fails, thx mate.

-experiencing overlapping incoming call screens

-had to remove "nice touch", as sugested in an earlier post, due to repeated freezing up of device (funny that slide2unlock part still

seems to respond while rest of software freezes.)

Post will be updated as needed please re-visit (For a clutter-free XDA-Devs)

Please continue your excellent work...:)
[General Topics] JNGold:
May I ask how often do have HiNavigator set to autoupdate? Have you checked the timestamp on the weather detail window to see if it is indeed updated?

New version doesn't work with WM2003.

And my magician still freezes several times a day with this program. The lock feature doesn't work. When you access alarm via the today plug in you loose the "OK" Button to confirm your changes. And meteo only wants to display night weather cast. I'm running a french magician with the latest official ROM untweaked.

Too bad to see that the new version supports only WM2005 and 2006 although the 2003 version has still bugs in it...

Once again WM2003 users are left behind. I had hope with this program that wm2003 users could finally get their version of touch interface to have a better usability of their current devices.

The thing I don't understand is that there are plenty out there solutions to bring "Touch experience" to WM2005/2006. But none seem interested to develop any longer for 2003users that should represent still a big number of PDA still working.

Just my two cents...

Addining contact list still have the form of "Last, First". The added contact also has "Last, first". Is there an option to list contacts as displayed in the contact's database. Still not able to show embedded photo from contact's database.

Previous bug from v1.5.2: Tapping on the Weather icon (next to the temperature display" brings up the full details. However, it does not display the current day if the update does not happen to be on the current day of the update.

Suggestions:

Tapping on weather icon would bring up the next 7 days forcast.

Uses embedded photo.

Add more locking features for event suck as timeout, wakeup, backlight off.

Now screen on Samsung i780

Unfortunately, the now screen is not working on my i780 device. The screen turns off - black screen - only.

The only way to update weather for me via GPRS, is first to launch IE or Opera in order to activate a GPRS session, then to press "update".

And still the same for the Bluetooth "unchanged" option.

Otherwise, I ENJOY your software !!!

Thanks for your development guys ! :)

Hi Abie,

I can't try it out anymore given that the trial has ended (despite me installign and using it only for 3-4 days?) , so I'm not sure if I can continue to try out your official version, or even an improved beta version. I definitely am not going to purchase hinavigator if I can't test out the newer version against those points that I had mentioned. CAn you extend the trial period for me or folks here?
