Hello Raftbone,

I have downloaded Version 2.0 M3 and it looks Great! no problems with thus far, will keep you posted, I'm sure when charts are ready, it will be sweet!!!!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
@Zurichhb

Glad to hear that it's working now for you :)

Hopefully I will be able to implement the charts download soon. Unfortunately I'm still waiting for a third-party control to be updated :(

@uzer_23

Thanks for the compliment. It's great to hear that so many people are using my software :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
Prepare for BETA TESTING :)

Beta 1 (Build 14) of EasyShares 2.0.0 is available on www.easyshares.ch and YES, charts downloading is implemented...

Looking forward to hear from you guys...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
Hello

Sorry for the inconvenience with the new build. I was now able to reproduce this error on my device and I'm searching for a way to fix that.

Hopefully there will be an updated/corrected version until tonight (swiss time :)).

raftbone
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FoneBone:
hi raftbone,

any news from the latest build? :D

Thx.

FoneBone
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
Hi FoneBone

Indeed, there are some news :)

It seems, that I was finally able to fix the bug. But the Beta 2 is in private beta testing by a translator of EasyShares. As soon as I have feedback of him, I will release the Beta 2. Hopefully already this evening (swiss time).

In the meantime, here's a video, which shows the features of Beta 2 (of course including the ability to download the charts).

Video

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] samaruf:
Very good app to keep track of my miserable stocks :(

Here's a feature that would be nice to have: the ability to move the stocks up or down on the main screen using finger slide instead of going into "Details" section.

Right now when I add a new stock, it goes all the way to the bottom and then I have to keep on selecting "Move up" to raise it to the top.

Thanks for the effort.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
The new Beta 2 is now available to download at www.easyshares.ch.

Please be aware, that this is BETA software. Please report any error here at the forums or over at the EasyShares forums.

Make sure, that all the functionality shown in the video at EasyShares.ch is available for you.

raftbone
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
Just before someone else is posting it :)

If EasyShares is already started in landscape mode, the fullscreen display of the charts will rotate the picture again 90 degrees clockwise. This is a know "bug" of the Beta 2.

The next version will include support for the HTC G-Sensor and rotate the fullscreen chart as you rotate your HTC device :D

Hi,

it's a very nice application!

But i have a small problem, i installed the app in the Storage Card, mine is called "Tarjeta de almacen." (ending in a dot). And when i start the application it shows the following:

Cannot find "\Tarjeta de Almacen\Archivos de Programa\etc...."

So the path is not correct

Can you fix that?

Thank you!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
hi pirolta

thanks for the compliment. unfortunately i cannot fix this error. let me explain you why...

i'm using a function of the .net compact framework to get the installation path of easyshares.

Return System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName( System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase)

if for example easyshares is installed in the path \programs\easyshares. (with a . at the end) this function only serves \programs\easyshares (without a. at the end)

there's no way to get the path in any other way.

also, using . at the end of a folder is never a good idea. windows (even windows mobile) always thinks that there are some more letters after a . (for example a file extension).

i'm afraid you have to rename your storage card or install easyshares on the main storage...

raftbone
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FoneBone:
Maybe the easiest way is to change the name of your storage card, but you have to check all of your shortcuts after this.

Use a Reg Editor(like Resco Registry, PHM RegEdit, etc.) to find this key:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory\Folder

Change the default value to the name you want.

Soft-reset your PPC

btw thanks for this update :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xwaiz:
This is a great tool.

any chance to increase the update speed? It takes very long time when I have many symbols.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
hi xwaiz

thanks for the compliment.

compared with version 1.0 of easyshares, download speed is simply amazing. but that's of course not, what you would like to hear :)

i am indeed already working on a way to improve download speed. and it seems that i have even found a way. but the first priority is now to release an almost perfect final version of 2.0.0 with most bugs fixed.

after that, the download speed will be the next thing to do on my list, which probably gives a build such as 2.0.1...

raftbone
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] noeta:
hi raftbone

seems to be a great app but everytime i try to download it from your homepage - EasyShares_Setup_v.2.0.0_Build_16_Beta_2.cab - i get the message - internet explorer cannot display this webpage.

is there another way to download it ?

many thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
hi noeta

could you please try it again? my server was down for some minutes, but the download should work now...

i've just tested it right now with my mobile...

raftbone
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] noeta:
hi raftbone

works perfect now. thanks a lot.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zurichhb:
V 2.0 Beta 1

Hi Raftbone,

I'm using V 2.0 Build 14, and its GREAT!!! I especially like the charts, very cool, as well as the color options, no problems thus far....... :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] noeta:
hi raftbone

this programm is really nice.

just the total gains bar cannot be removed whatever option i use and it is quite useless if you hold equities in different currencies.

also the possibility to distiguish between different portfolios - holdings, wachlists,... ,perhaps a bar to insert would be perfect.

keep up, wonderful app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
Hi everybody

Thanks for all the compliments. Right before the last trading day starts, I've just released a new version.

It's the build 20, called Beta 3. I decided to release a third beta version, instead of a release candidate, because I have completely redesigned the whole charts stuff.

The fullscreen view of the charts now support the G-sensor of any HTC device. And a new zooming feature is also included.

Please test the new beta carefully. I'm not sure, if the zooming feature will work good on any device, especially regarding memory issues.

For me, the version 2.0 is now feature complete. I would like to do only bug fixes and some code optimizations until the final version.

But, of course, that's not the end :)

There are a lot of ideas for future versions.

raftbone
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] coolguy949:
I've been watching this thread since it started. Just downloaded build 20 beta and I noticed a couple things.

Firstly, if you want to edit the custom name of a stock, it won't save. It will remain whatever it was before.

Also, it runs pretty slow on my HTC Touch Pro. I know its a heavy app at almost 3MB, but the menus seem sluggish.

Other than that, I'm loving this app because I can put how many shares I own. I think this will soon replace TickerTape for me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ultravox:
I've just downloaded and installed. Runing OK, including charts :)

Tomorow I'll post some comments about the interface.

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rock4mayo:
Thanks for this app,really helpfull for my works

i hope on the futures release,we can see candlestick bar for the chart......

again thanks for this:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pirolta:
thanks

Thanks both for quick response.

I renamed storage card and now everything goes perfect!

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zurichhb:
Hi Raftbone,

I've notice a problem, not sure if its with your software, since 2 March, I couldn't download any data, the error is "could not establish connection to network"

Now I've always used Wi-Fi to connect, and I don't have any problems with sending email, or other programs that use the Wi-Fi connection.

Have you experienced this problem??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hanackin:
Hey raftbone,

This app seems promising :cool:

I'm gonna help you with the french translation :D I will download the lang file on your forum and sens it to you ;)

cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] leobox1:
1) do u have plans for including forex or oil, gold?

2) where do u get the qoutes from?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hanackin:
Here is the French translation guys ! :D

Please let me know if I made some mistakes :cool:

cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RJonesUSC:
Thanks for the app. I installed the latest beta 2 version and it's been working great so far.

A couple feature requests/suggestions:

1. Auto-refresh interval - Allow the user to choose a length of time in which the stock quotes are automatically refreshed. Also allow the user to set this to Manual Refresh so it acts like the program does currently.

2. As suggested above kinda, bring up the menu (details, edit, delete, move up, graph etc.) when a stock is pressed and held. Same as the standard press and hold within Windows Mobile (copy, paste, etc.)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
Hi everybody

You maybe have asked you, what about EasyShares? First, sorry for my long absence here. But the great news are:

I have not been sitting around doing nothing :)

While I was waiting for feedback regarding version 2.0 Beta 3 I have decided to completely rewrite EasyShares for the next major version 2.1.

OK, I have not rewritten the complete app, but at least 80 percent. This was due to some design errors made in earlier versions, which were making it impossible to implement some features.

The major changes and improvements are:

- Added an auto refresh function.

- Added the ability to create own lists.

- Last but not least, again greatly improved refresh speed.

In short, here's a preview video, which shows the features of EasyShares 2.1. Remember, it's still not available, it'll take some more weeks to completely finish coding.

EasyShares 2.1 Preview

Feel free to let me know, what you are thinking about...

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] noeta:
Looks very good. Makes this great app lightyears better.

EasyShares 2.1 looks extremely promising, I am currently using TickerTape but 2.1 looks better overall. Can not wait!!!!!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xwaiz:
I'm using ver2.0 Build 22, and found the "Update" and "Details" crahses the app. I am now back to Build 20.

Watched the preview of ver2.1, it looks very good! Hope you will release it soon.

[Feature request] Currency. It works so far, but it doesn't have day "change" info. eg: USDJPY=X .

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
Hi everybody

Sorry, for the error in the final build 22. This is now fixed. Please update to the new build 23.

A first beta of the overall new version 2.1.0 will be released in the next few days. I just need to do some testing myself...

Cheers, raftbone
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xwaiz:
Thank you raftbone. Build 23 works good.

Can't wait to try v2.1!

Cheers!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Laxe:
Just wanted to chime in and say "Well done!" for making such an amazing app!! Seriously I was thinking there wasn't any decent stock tickers out there after numerous google searchs!

After 5 minutes playing around with it I was so impressed I had no qualms clicking that 'donate' button! ;) Keep up the good work my friend! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xwaiz:
just tried v2.1 build 34, it is great!! Very good work! appreciate it!!

i noticed this version is missing total gain/lost info in the status bar. I bet you will find a good place to display that info in future versions.

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Laxe:
Agreed, 2.1 is very good indeed. Especially the allowance of adding more stock into existing holdings at different dates. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
Hello everybody

First of all, I would like to thank for all the compliments and especially to all the contributors, who have support my work with donating some bucks.

You definitely have support me in creating version 2.1.0. There was a lot of coffee needed, to completely rewrite all the code.

Some of you have already figured out, that version 2.1.0 is available since last week. Please don't forget to read through the version history on www.easyshares.ch because it contains some important information on the new saving location.

Due to a little bug in the update check routine, the new beta 2 (which I have released right now) will not be shown. Please go to the download section on www.easyshares.ch and download the newest build. This version has some minor bugfixes and will correctly display all the new version released in the future.

Also, I'm still looking for some good translators. EasyShares is available in english and german. If you would like to translate it, you can download the english.lang file in the download section on my website. It's a simple XML file.

After translating it into your language, please upload it on www.easyshares.ch and I'll include it in a future release.

If you find any bugs in version 2.1.0 please report them as detailed as you can, so I can try to fix them.

Cheers, raftbone
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ed33:
Hi excellent app. Best share app i've used.

Ive noticed new version dosnt show the overall portfolio loss at the bottom right of screen, the older version used to show overall gain or loss of full portfolio in percentage.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
Hi ed33

Thanks for the compliment. The overall gain/loss feature was removed intentionally. If you have shares in different currencies, the overall gain/loss cannot be calculated.

That was my thinking of removing it.

Maybe I'll include it in a later version with the need to activate the feature in the options dialog. Then the user has the ability to display it or not.

raftbone
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gibbers:
Trying out EasyShares and it seems to work pretty well.

I did have one suggestion: have you considered allowing a user to toggle the details panel for a stock open and closed with a single click.

I think it would be more natural for the first click on a stock to open the details window and then another click anywhere in the open details panel to collapse the panel.

Currently, the second click navigates to the finger friendly menu. It would seem to me more natural for a click and hold action (either on a stock in the main list or on the open details panel) to bring up the menu.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Hi raftbone, Appreciate you great work,

Is it possible to add option to logon to yahoo, since the quotes obtained logged in would be real time(well - 3 min delay) and not logged in - 30 min in most cases... which would be like missing a train.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
Hi everyone

The new Beta 4 has just been released and is available for download on www.easyshares.ch. It has just some small improvements.

For example, I have readded the option to show the overall gain in statusbar.

Please test this build as good as you can. I'm planning to release the final version of 2.1.0 soon, if there are no more bugs in it.

Any new features or changes in EasyShares will be made in the next version. Probably 2.2.0.

Thanks to anyone who tested EasyShares and of course especially to everyone, who already donated and supported my work.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lit2fly:
i tried to install the beta4 version but it shows "installation failed" as soon as I double click the cab file...... any hints?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
Hi

Sorry, no idea why it did not work for you. I've just downloaded myself on my Diamond2 and installation went without problems.

Please download it again and try a second time. Maybe the download went wrong...

raftbone
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lit2fly:
I used chrome to download and now I switched to IE8 to download and problem solved.... guess should be some caching problem......

anyway am going to try your new beta now. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
glad to hear the download is working you :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lit2fly:
very nice........ have been using tickertape and guess I will switch to your program as it seems tt won't be updated anymore....also love your program that allows me to save my stock transactions.....

just some "wish to have" functions for your consideration:

1. add some icons in the expanded stock area for a quick launch of charts..... currently it's a bit clumsy to click several times before showing the chart.....

2. field to add "transaction cost" in addition to quantity and price per share? of course, the program should consider the transaction cost when calculating the gain/loss

3. enlightened by your current presentation style, be able to "sort" the list by e.g. "top gainers/losers" per current share price or my portfolio?

thanks again for the program, it's great!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aaanant:
Hi...raftbone...this is excellent program and i jsut wanted to reg few things..1. can you put quick quote somehow so if i just want to get quote without adding in to list...2. can you put back arrow or return icon into you delete,detail screen menu....3. please see if you can have option to change font size that would be wonderfull...offcourse this are just requests and again your programm is so far the best i have seen...also when you go to detal menu the fonts are too thin and small thats what i was talking abuot...dont take me wrong for my req....you have done greate job....thanks...andy
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aaanant:
hi..raftbone...i wanted to know how can i make single letter stocks work such as citybank-c also why otc stocks doesnt work like mtlqq(gm)etc...also can you make default page where dow,nasdeq,nikki,s&p500 etc will show on first page as soon as your app is loaded....thanks...andy...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aaanant:
hi..raftbone..after trying your software..i think refresh works but it brings 15-30 delayed quotes, i have it set up 10 second auto refresh and i have also tried manual refresh ...they both only bring delayed quotes any ideas...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
Hi Andy

For me, single letter stocks are working. The only thing is, that you cannot add "C" as an item, if already other items are in a list. You can only add it to an empty list. I'll test it tonight and trying to see, if I can fix that bug. Sorry for my late reply...

The reason why the quotes are delayed, is that Yahoo is not delivering realtime quotes without logging on the their website. All quotes are normally delayed by 15 minutes, this is normal... Sorry

Regards, raftbone

I'm having trouble using EasyShares over a proxied GPRS/3G connection. I keep getting "Retrieving data from web failed. Please make sure, an internet connection is available". Browsing the web with Opera and IE, downloading weather data with SPB Mobile Shell etc. works fine.

The proxy only accepts http(s) requests. Might that be the reason?

Thanks, steam_john

Anyone else been getting an error with the EasyShares app in the last few days? I seem to be getting an xml error message that is causing the app to crash on startup. I'm not away of any changes to my phone that may be causing this. Thanks.

Great app. I moved my quote to this app already.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
Hello everybody

It's true, I'm in fact working on the version 3.0. It's still in beta but you can of course try it. My website www.easyshares.ch is up again.

Anything seemed to crash my webserver. I have just fixed...

So, happy testing :) Any feedback is greatly appreciated...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emmarbee:
hi raftbone, does this support NSE and BSE (Indian Stock Exchange)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raftbone:
hi emmarbee

it should. if you go to http://in.finance.yahoo.com/ and search for any share you always see the symbol for the share.

for example hfcl.bo (http://in.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=HFCL.BO). you can add this share to easyshares by entering the symbol hfcl.bo and you get your quotes...
