Hi,

Does this mean that it does not affect APN names and such? This is what was happening before and it was stopping me from buying the app.
[Desire Themes and Apps] honoluluteam:
Yeah,

in the next release you can select between 2 different options:

APN Renaming

Enable/Disable Mobile Data

obviously, Enable/Disable Mobile Data option doesn't touch APN Settings.

Furthermore, we provide a original method to save batterylife ;)

What is that "ECService" service that is running in the background?

Just wondering, why a toggle like app need background process?
[Desire Themes and Apps] honoluluteam:
EcService is the Code of Extended Controls :)

Extended controls is a widget that allows a lot of controls. To do that is necessary a Service.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Nosrulz:
Love this application and look forward to the data on/off fix. :)

Problems with the Widget

Hi everyone!

i've installed this great widget, i realy like it! it has everything that i looked for, i think that it is great that i can modify the appearancee settings !

- BUT -

im runnign a Android 2.2 on my Desire... i use LauncherPro as a home, and after installing this great widget my Wifi-Hot spot stoped working! witch is a huge bummer because i use it daily!

even after uninstalling the app my hot-spot did not work! - even bigger bummer! i tried everything i could to get it back running = no chance! only after a software reset!

i tried it again, only installing the widget and once again it some how damaged my hot-spot so i had to reset once again!

is anyone els having this problem? any idea's?

thanks

tranquillo83 :D
[Desire Themes and Apps] 123schiff:
still waiting patiently for the latest updates...

Really want the mobile data /apn to work properly ...
[Desire Themes and Apps] DAE_JA_VOO:
Same here. I'm not going to buy this app until this works...
[Desire Themes and Apps] oursoul:
You should buy it IMO, it's ****ing awesome even without that function.

An absolute MustHave app.

:)
[Desire Themes and Apps] honoluluteam:

[Desire Themes and Apps] DAE_JA_VOO:
So, I finally bought the app tonight, and the APN now simply doesn't work. I went with the new APN method and it just doesn't work. I checked the APN to make sure it's right, which it is.

So, looks like I'll be refunding :( I'm bitterly disappointed :(
[Desire Themes and Apps] honoluluteam:
What is your smartphone?

Do you have to try uninstall and reinstall?
[Desire Themes and Apps] DAE_JA_VOO:
HTC Desire.

I didn't reinstall, no, but I'll try now.

My APN isn't working at ALL anymore. Even if I disable EC completely, my APN still won't work. I'll reinstall and let you know.
[Desire Themes and Apps] honoluluteam:
I have HTC Desire and APN Methods works correctly.

Let me know, I'm curious ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] DAE_JA_VOO:
Okay, got it working. I think I know what the issue is, and you guys might want to address it:

I use PowerStrip, and I had the EC widget on powerstrip, and I think that this is what caused the issue. The moment I uninstalled EC and powerstrip, restarted my phone, and then reinstalled EC, it worked.

Anyway, seems to be working fine now. Thanks Guys, looks like I wont be refunding after all :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] desire888:
Is it possible to disable automatic switching between Wifi and Data Network? If I have both controls in the widget, the moment I disable Wifi, it automatically switches on Data Network. Then I have to turn off Data Network manually on the widget
[Desire Themes and Apps] Exlo:
Had the same problem :(

Luckily i had a backup with APN Backup, and it works fine after restoring APN :)

So, backup APN, install Extended Controls Widget and restore APN :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] DAE_JA_VOO:
Yeah, I didn't know about this, and then my phone downloaded a few MBs of data as soon as my wifi connection dropped.

This is not a feature I want at all :(
[Desire Themes and Apps] nihilist_:
Anyone got any issues with the autolock widget on version 4 it would not work after the update so I had to restore my old 3.9 and bingo it worked.... anyone else had this or is it just my desire / ROM

thanks

Lee
[Desire Themes and Apps] 123schiff:
Yeah.. have the same problem. If I configure and select Mobile data instead of the renamed APN, once I turn off wifi it will automatically turn on mobile data.

Regrds,
[Desire Themes and Apps] DAE_JA_VOO:
It's pretty disappointing for me that it takes so long for the Dev team to reply. I've posted here, I've tweeted them (twice), nothing.

I'm really regretting supporting this app.
[Desire Themes and Apps] desire888:
I have a feeling that extended also uses up more battery than switch pro.

Switch pro does not have the problem with the mobile data switching on if wifi is turned off. So that is a bit plus!!!

Only downside is that switch pro is not skinnable.....so no translucency :(
[Desire Themes and Apps] honoluluteam:
Sorry guys,

but we have several problem with internet connection in these days.

Please, can you report me all issues on http://extendedcontrols.googlecode.com?
[Desire Themes and Apps] ruleamsterdam:

[Desire Themes and Apps] honoluluteam:

I have some news.

You can partecipate to a contest called "Extended Controls Awards".

You can find it our website: http://www.honoluluteam.net/EC2/?page_id=102

[Desire Themes and Apps] mlj11:
I've experienced some difficulty with the v4 autolock on my Galaxy S too. For me it would normally work for a while after the widget is first placed on my home screen, but after some time it'd just fail to respond. Removing and re-loading may fix it, but not always.

The older version worked perfectly, so I've rolled back.
[Desire Themes and Apps] nihilist_:
Glad its not just me lol. :-)
[Desire Themes and Apps] honoluluteam:
Hi,

the battery drain problem is caused by certain controls of ExtendedControls, like the Battery toggle that is activated every time changes the percentage of the battery.

The data switching control of SwitchPro works only on certain phone model, Nexus One excluded and so many others.

ExtendedControls provides more controls and customizations than SwitchPro, there is no comparable :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] dirkw01:
Can you please provide a list of 'battery draining' controls?

For example my configuration is

WiFi

Bluetooth

GPS

Brightness

Data network with 'Switch Type' set to 'Disable/Enable ...'

Best regards

Dirk
[Desire Themes and Apps] honoluluteam:
Controls that use a lot of battery are as follows:

- Battery without "Disable update";

- Data Network with "Rename APN";

- Brightness without "Auto"

But the Battery with percentage is the one that takes more resources because it needs to be always updated.
[Desire Themes and Apps] dirkw01:
THX.

Cheers

Dirk
[Desire Themes and Apps] RevoWution:
Hmmm... I never knew the Battery widget would be a juice drainer. Might remove it and give it a go and see if I get better battery life. Thanks for the tip :D
[Desire Themes and Apps] honoluluteam:
Battery widget (any battery widgets) to work needs to check frequently battery status level.

If you use a single widget of Extended Controls (for example, battery) this doesn't drain a lot of battery because the Home doesn't refresh list of widgets.
[Desire Themes and Apps] honoluluteam:

I cant find the app in the market w/ VanillaEclair 5. Whats wrong?
[Desire Themes and Apps] firsthippy:
Has anyone used this with the Desire HD?

I notice it only says 2G/3G switching and doesn't mention HDSPA which makes me think I should perhaps wait for an update?

Thanks.
[Desire Themes and Apps] noobandroid:
HSPDA is similar to 3G, it does not matter how the button describes it, simply put it this way, 2G=Edge "E"; 3g = HSPDA "H" on the data symbol
[Desire Themes and Apps] Phantom1275:
I bought this app yesterday. Of all similar paid apps I have tested (SwitchPro, Power Control Plus), this is the one I prefer most, specially because of different toggle skins and backgrounds.

But I still don't understand why it needs a service (ECService). Is there a specific control that needs it? The other apps I have tested don't use a service.

Does ECService drain battery?
[Desire Themes and Apps] honoluluteam:
Hi Phantom,

first of all thanks for your good opinions.

We use a service because there are a lot of controls that could be speeded up and optimized the battery energy.

The service doesn't drain battery because is always in stand-by and it's activated only by request.

We take advantages from the post to say that soon be released a new version of Extended Controls (with more feature and a big surprise).

You can follow us on twitter (http://twitter.com/honoluluteam).

Extended Controls v5.0 is now available.

Please, uninstall it before upgrade!
[Desire Themes and Apps] Madeli:
Thanx!

But.... i uninstalled and then installed the new version. Got alot of FC! Uninstalled and tried again... same same.

The only solution for me to get it to work was to use titanium backup and wipe it too... NOW it works!

So if more ppl have problems.... try to wipe extended controls too.
[Desire Themes and Apps] berre:
Haven't purshased it yet but I noticed on your site you've added a function to "lock screen" as well... does this only lock the screen or does it put the phone in standby?

Cheers

B
[Desire Themes and Apps] wasabah:
No FCs in my case. I uninstalled and installed as recommended.

The new UI really gives a clear arrangement.

Downloading more backgrounds worked fine.

I also like the new tooltips that appear and give you hints what else one can do like dragging the toggles around to change their position (awesome!!).

The profile feature also seems to work as intended and really is an improvement.

One thing I noticed though: touching the right down arrows does nothing (in Theme tab). One has to touch more to the left. (example: I want to change the icons. Intuitionally I would touch the arrow to get more options. But the options will only open if I touch more to the left.)

This is only a minor thing, altogether this update really makes extended controls perfect. Thanks a lot!

Edit: I found a little bug concerning the new App Shortcut Toggle. Whenever I start an app via the toggle (it doesn't seem to matter which app) a message appears "unable to launch this activity", but the app will open.

Also: why does the Force Sync Toggle need Auto Sync activated?

I would like to use Force Sync sometimes because usually I have Auto Sync disabled.
[Desire Themes and Apps] honoluluteam:
Thanks for your comment.

About arrows you've right. We'll fix it very soon.

About shortcut app: there are some activities there are impossible to launch and we have to force Android system. This is the max we can do ;)

Force Sync Toggle uses some feature of AutoSync to works correctly.
[Desire Themes and Apps] honoluluteam:
Lock Screen put display in standby ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] honoluluteam:
Extended Controls v5.0.1 released!

Changelog on our site!
[Desire Themes and Apps] Laban:
Don't know if this is the right place for suggestions.

But what I would like is the possibility to set the opacity/transparency for active icons. If I click the BlueTooth icon it turns (on my theme) bright white and I would like to be able to set it to maybe 50% transparency. Do you follow me?

Great app btw!
[Desire Themes and Apps] honoluluteam:
5.0.3 is out.. batterylife and torch fixed ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] gogol:
I have issue with this, please help.

I rebooted my phone and the widget cannot load.

Then I deleted the widget.

But, I cannot add the widget anymore because they are not in the widget list!

So, ok, I went to the Market application and tried to UNINSTALL from there.

It took a very long time and the Market cannot uninstall it :(

I closed the Market, reboot the phone again.

Back to Market, I can now try to INSTALL it. The purchase authorization was successful, download was successful, but NOT the installation :(

I tried to install the old version 3.9.9.1 (I made apk backup), but it did not install either (error message: Application not installed).

Now, what should I do?

I cannot install from Market, I cannot install manually either!

I have never had this issue before, but since the major UI changes I experienced a lot of problems :(

NOTE: I run Android 2.2, stock ROM from HTC.
[Desire Themes and Apps] gogol:
I think the problem is that Extended Control was installed to SD Card!

Well, you should PREVENT that.

You can set your app so it cannot be installed in the sd card.
[Desire Themes and Apps] reznorfan0:
I absolutely love this app, but have one issue that I can't seem to get around. The owner has tried helping me through email, but apperently i'm just too stupid. I want to have a plain dark transparent background to match the revolution them I have with all the other widgets I use.

The stock backgrounds can be set to transparent, but I do not want the gradient appearance they have. I have also downloaded the custom backgrounds, none of which are what I want, so I tried creating my own, but the customs lose the ability of setting a transparency.

In editing my own backgrounds in gimp, I try to create png files with transparency changed in the layers, that doesn't work. I also tried adding transparency in the brushes, that doesn't work. All i want is a simple black background that stretches the width of the screen, doesn't go too far beyond the height of the toggle icons, its killing me that I can't make this work....
[Desire Themes and Apps] M3RK:
If anyone else uses FancyWidget I made a custom background for extended controls to match and I thought I'd share :)

I have changed, because I found a better alternative:

It is much better with more customizations and more widget sizes & variations.

And it is FREE !

Is there another widget or way to have text instead of a Extended Control look for a widget, e.g. I want to have the word silent and have the same control with it as you would with an Extended Control silent widget, if that makes any sense.

I tried to do it with Minimalistic Text but could`nt get to down to just, when you hit it once it silences your phone....
[Desire Themes and Apps] honoluluteam:
We have fixed it within next release.

I don't know mate.. Maybe a compatibility issue with Gingerbread if you're on it?

I have an issue with the data on/off with Extended Controls. The issue being it says "Network APN Deactivated" yet it doesn't deactivate it.

Contact the developer to inform him/her of the problem :).

Hello! I've bought ECW today and i have found one issue: when i try to click on the battery toggle it doesn't show power usage; it shows info: "The Tablet version does not allow to view Power Usage Summary". Can it be fixed somehow?

Before purchase i used Power Widget app. and this feature (battery toggle) works just fine.

Maybe this problem is related with my custom rom, which i have now (Onecosmic's ICS Port 4.0.3 RC3.1 for Galaxy S), but even if it is, Power Widget works when Extended Controls Widget don't..

easy cyanogens cm5 build test 7 is damn near perfect you need danger spl on a g1 wich there is a thread on here about how to get that but just make sure you install correctly as it can brick your phone if its done wrong but cm5 is really the only true stable ecair rom right now. any recovery will work but amon ra version 1.7.0 is my preferred recovery of choice
