Hello Michel,

about subdirs in wallpapers I was thinking about "randomly all". By the way, if you want only /MyWalls/Nature pics you can choose simply this folder :)

About problems. I didn't was more specific because I recognize there are a lot of variables involved and I don't know if everything is a real CHTS problem, and I know you would need xml but I can't just now.

However:

- I've seen huge battery drain. Still testing this, maybe is RAM indicator, or RSS Feed Widget, or Analog Clock with second hand or... CHTS switching? I've this huge drain even in manual mode, only wallpaper changing was set.

In this moment I've a very simple layout, only one page with standard Flip/meteo, notification, calendar widgets and some shortcuts. If drain continues even in this condition I'll try to uninstall CHTS and see if something change.

- When using wallpaper switching, it seems it stopped to work. I mean I found always the same wallpaper in home page. But in the same time, Alltabs wallpaper was changing correctly.

- Just now I'm using a "In Car" layout, however the icon on home page is the spare time one. In practice, every layout profile I choose, the icon is always the same now.

- This morning I found phone frozed with clock at 7.24. I use G-Alarm to wake me at 7.25. Never had a problem without CHTS. Wallpaper changing was active (even if didn't really work during night)

- In a case I've lost tabbar, solved after a soft reset.

- Don't really understand how switching wallpaper should work, even I've read the manual :D I mean, if phone is locked, wallpapers change or not? I've read you can choose to change or not for layouts, but for wallpapers? In case doesn't change, when start next? As soon as possible or you simply reschedule the change 30 minutes later last try (if 30 minutes is the interval)?

Just to understand when I meet a bug or a "feature" :)

Ok for now it's ok, in this moment CHTS would be perfect *for me* if it changes wallpapers without problems and let me choose manually some profile :)

Let me know if I can be more helpful (probably this weekend I'll not be able) :(

CHTS and Stock ROM SPA 1.66.xx

Hola,

just wanted to let you know and confirm that CHTS works fine on Spanish Stock ROM (HTC) 1.66.412.1 (76641) ESN; radio 2.06.51.07 (win 6.5 pro) manila 2.5.19211619.0 :D

Now flashing and testing with next ROM :p

(Storage Card is called "Tarjeta de almacen." and settings saved to device, not to SD)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
OK - now I know, how you meant it with the wallpapers. Ok - I will look (after first final) ok? :)

Battery drain because of switching the profiles - only possible if you would switch it each minute :) The powering is only for the switching - and "very smooth power" is the best option, that no side effect can happen and you won't get any drain. But also Full Power is only for the switch - so also minimal drain is possible.

So I think it has another reason - which is not CHTS. Could you make a log-file with chtstate108f?

Also the other things will be checked, sure. Have you already attached your CHTSSettings.xml somewhere? No, I don't think - so could you do it, please (SD-Card -> _CHTScheduler)

For wallpaper switching there's no option.

But sure I can answer it - it is switched if all these requirements are fullfilled:

- NOT an winmo alarm is around

- NOT locked

- NO Call is active

- Battery-Level is > 10%

- Device is NOT suspended (to be more technical: it must be "on" or at least only "backlight off" (D0, D1 in BKL1 alternatively) like e.g. it is mostly in ActiveSync-Mode)

I think all requirements doesn't need something to adjust - all protects you against unwanted changes

I hope it helped a bit so far

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Fine :) I hope all CHT v2 -users have soon this fix, that some major issues are past now :)

So also no more stranger interfering with CHTS,too.

Thanx for your feedback.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dagosjt:
Hello Micha,

fast answer, tomorrow I'll try to send you the log file you requested if still needed. I wasn't sure about nothing because I was experimenting a lot of things, now I'm more sure about what I write:

- CHTS DOESN'T DRAIN BATTERY :D:D:D It must be a widget like Mail, RSS, State indicators. Now I use a profile without any widget such this and no problem at all :)

- About wallpapers question was: if at schedule time CHTS can't switch, when will it try next? I mean, if I set every 30 minutes, and at scheduled time switching is not allowed, next time CHTS try is after 30 minutes?

- I think wallpapers doesn't switch automatically because I'm quite sure CHTS is "fighting" with PhoneAlarm. Some time phoneAlarm process stop (crash) and then I see wallpapers switching. However I've found a good workaround for me. I can't substitute PhoneAlarm because at this time is much more complete than CHTS, but I find you can put a shortcut to change wallpaper inside "CHT" shortcut groups. So when I want to change things I simply click :). Simply it seems strange to me it works only if scheduling for wallpapers is active.

- Finally, generally CHTS profile switching give always "strange" problem, often Sense doesn't even restart, another odd behaviour was I could activate WiFi etc. The good thing is everything go ok after a soft reset, meaning you never "destroy" nothing.

- About "new features" mine are only suggestions, if you think they are possible, do when it's better for you :)

I'm a programmer too, even if for different kind of job, and I'm amazed about your piece of software ;) Congratulations!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Hi Dagosjt,

thanx for feedback

The chtstateLOG would be anyway of interest. So I see perhaps some things to improve, too

Fine that you found it. The most problable widget is at the moment the weather widget, the second probale cause the RSS-widget.

If you see something, that could help to know, which widget is the cause, it would be helpful for CHT

That's different, but quite intelligent :) :

- if it's around alarm time, then approximately 5 minutes after alarm

- if it's locked, then around 30 seconds after unlock

(I set special notifications for this cases)

Yes - I know. But as long there is no scheduled wallpaper-directory, CHTS can't know which directory is to be used for next wallpaper. So the best idea is to set schedule time to maximum (23:59) and assign a directory and then you can use the button.

Could you tell me, which PhoneAlarm-Features you use mostly? There are much things planned for CHTS, but for priorization it's good to know experiences.

That's sometimes CHT, because CHTS does only some steps while this Restart:

- Switch Sense off

- Copy Layout files to windows

- Apply all Sense-/CHT-/some other Settings and Registry entries

- Switch Sense on

- Set Changes which are needed after Sense Restart

New suggestions are always good! :)

Thank you very much! Really appreciated

Regards

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dagosjt:
Hello Micha,

I think I didn't activate log, I'm sure you wrote somewhere how to but I didn't find in first page and in past 4-5 pages... However. The good news today is that EVERYTHING is working like a swiss clock :D Wallpapers are changing exactly as expected and I was able to successfully manually change a profile and everything was ok without soft reset.

Only thing I confirm is that one time I found phoneAlarmHost process killed. But now it's active and still wallpapers changing.

For my experience weather widget isn't draining battery at all. I use it just now. I'm afraid state icons like RAM usage are big cause, and about RSS Reader probably the way text scroll uses a lot of resources. Could you add an option to scroll or not?

Ok thanks, now I can say before wasn't working, while today is :D

Ok thanks again, I understand why you made so and i agree. Using the button for me is a sort of acceptable workaround :)

Yes, that's interesting. The main features I use in phoneAlarm and totally missing for now in CHT are:

- Profiles based on conditions. For example I've a profile to start when I'm in certain location (home, work) looking at Cell-ID or GPS, and one starting when I'm connected (battery charging but not active sync on)

- Reminders. I use phoneAlarm because it's the only one giving me the chance to have a different wav/mp3 file for reminders. So that if I miss a call or I received an sms I'll have a different sound, repeated "x" times every "y" minutes

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Nice :) I can't believe, that ALL is working - because there I found some things, which will be fixed in final - but most of them are device-dependent, but I think together with the help of CHTS-beta-group, we will have quite soon a very stable first final Release.

All inside Manila of CHT is Co0kie's work, not mine. So RSS-Reader is something, which I have nothing to do so far (and if I would, I would make an own widget for it, because I think the default sense Reader isn't so good. But there I have a lack of time to do. So I hope any other developer will care for something like that)

Will come as one of the features after first CHTS Release version. Already planned and prepared.

Mmh... nice idea. I have planned for later something in this way, but in a little other way. I will think about it (after Event+Location handling)

Thank U 2

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dagosjt:
Of course, EVERYTHING FOR ME was working :D:D:D

Automatic wallpaper changing & manual profile change.

I'm the kind of person who simply appreciate and recognize all the work behind projects like this, and instead of bashing the programmer happily accept a reasonable workaround :)

As I said, having phoneAlarm the rest isn't so important for me, but I promise I'll test all the new features that will come.

About the RSS Widget, mine was only a sharing experience to improve the whole product, wasn't addressed at you as your fault :)

Bye!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Santa-Claus:
I have - a minor - problem switching wallpapers with chts. I have predefined special layouts for day and for night - workoutfit and private outfit.

I use CHTE to show the wallpaper´s background in the transparent taskbar and the transparent softbar too. When CHTS changes from day- to night-profile, the wallpaper itself changes as wanted - but especially the taskbar remains showing the "old" wallpaper. Not really a perfect design. The softbar changes o.k. - but if I go from softbar to the sense-tabs I find again my "old" wallpaper not only in the Taskbar but in the bottom-bar too.

I´m sure, I am doing something wrong. Can someone give me a hint?

I´m not sure, where the problem comes from. When the change of profile has taken place, CHTE shows the right profile for taskbar and softbar. But it is not triggered, instead of that the "old" profile shows in taskbar and softbar.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
no, you didn't something wrong.

chteditor makes sense restart. if you would do also one after changed wallpaper, it would be also fine. it can happen sometimes (mostly with not exact suiting wallpapers) and is something in CHT.

I wanted to look for refreshing softkey bar, but there is something, which I must to talk at first with Co0kie.

so never mind, mostly it should work also with softkeybar.

thanx for your feedback.

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
All: I would need a little simple feedback of you:

which "powering mode" in Settings do you use for profile switch? also please tell me, if this switch is mostly with or without Layout changing?

thanx in advance

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anubis.genix:
been playing around for a while now and all i have to say is ... i love it! :)

i've a feature request if you don't mind. is there a way to get an option to toggle between 3g and hsdpa in data connections?

closing internet connection on idle doesn't work for me at all :(

device hd2 rom artemis v37

thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
thank you :)

and yes - feature requests are welcome, sure.

1. 3g - I try it (need some help for it,it's not easy and it's long time to investigate)

2. data on idle... it should work, but sometimes the WinMo-system has a different opinion, what "idle" is :)

I think, you are a little experienced with registry editor.

could you extract

hklm/comm/connmgr/planner/settings

as .reg-file for me (rename it to .txt to attach it) ?

set it before to 5 min and activate it by the 3-state-toggle. so I can see, if there is allright.

Later (after first final) I will add another possibility to do these (and more) things. because that the winmo-internal idle is not always reliable and flexible. e.g. together with wifiondemand-settings, it sometimes disconnects immediately or not at all. I think the are 100ds of different settings combinations in winmo, which makes this function possible and as much, where it's not possible.

so I will come up later with something reliable, which doesn't depend of the good will of windows mobile :)

could you also tell me, which powering option you personally prefer? (see my post above)

Regards

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dagosjt:
Hello Micha,

to answer your questions:

1- I activated both "very smooth power for switch" and "smooth power for switch". It seems a bit strange for me (I thought they was exclusive) however I confirm I can see both "on"

2- I always switch everything.

I want to discuss about a "logical" bug in friendship :)

I can choose to switch or not quicklinks when changing profiles. With surprise I've discovered (and reading better is well specified) the options is valid both for quind and for free links!

The "logical" bug is that I use quick links for general purpose, so I generally want them for every profile, while I use free link for specific theme purpose, example Office links for work profile, or Radio - Mp3 Player - Photo Viewer etc for Spare time, or GPS - Bluetooth - Car Management for car.

So usually I wanto to define only once quick links (valid for every profile), and this means I don't want to change them switching, while I want to switch free links at every profile. But it seems not possible just now...

I hope I was clear :)

Regards,

Francesco
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anubis.genix:
here are the extracted reg settings

powering mode is set to smooth ... didn't play around with those settings tbh :)

thanks for investigating on this issue!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Thanx Anubis!

Yes, that's both very logical, what you've said :)

so:

- in final Release it won't be possible anymore to use "very smooth" and "smooth" at the same time :) I have found out, that this combination makes no sense.

- also in Final you can advise CHTS only to keep the Quicklinks. the Freelinks can be scheduled independent of it

it's good to have a beta group and users here, who tells me, that this could be useful :) thanx 2 all of you!

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] s2007:
Is it possible to move to another place "little state icons"? Or eventually disable?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
moving not possible atm, but you have the same as resizeable Freelinks... these are movable :)

switch 'em off is a settings option in CHTS.

@MichelDiamond

hello again my friend :)

i just want u to keep in mind my suggestion

I wanna suggest a way to start certain theme with certain layout triggered by inserting the headphone jack " i mean by the chts"

this option would be very great

thanx alot for ur great effort

goodluck :)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zimas:
NoData profile not working

Idea is very good :), but I can't manage it to work

It's not working NoData profile, maybe you can help me...

I generally would like to use this app to control GPRS connections, so this is my setup:

Manual Mode - set to NoData profile

All other profiles is OFF, only NoData is ON (Active)

NoData profile settings:

Change Data Settings - ON

GPRS en/disbled on roaming- ON

GPRS enabled (NoData) - ON

Disconnect GPRS if Wifi - ON

GPRS off if Idle Data -5min - ON

everything else is OFF

Two problems:

1. So when I enable this NoData profile, and wait 5min (even after 10min) GPRS connection is still working, and it's not droping, why?

2. I even try to block at all GPRS, put "GPRS enabled (NoData)" - OFF, so when I switch to NoData profile it disconnect from GPRS (seems it's working on this stage), but still if I open weather page and press update it will make GPRS connection, why? I suppose that it should not alow to make any connection when "GPRS enabled (NoData)" - OFF

How to fix this?

Thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Hi, thanx for your feedback.

to 1. : it's a winmo setting, perhaps an app prevents it to be idle. CHTS cab only set this system counter. therefore I will make later an iwn more flexible feature to CHTS, which doesn't depend on WinMo's good will.

But you haven't told me your WinMo/Rom-Version, why?

to 2: I need your chtssettings.xml from storage card/_Chtscheduler to compare the settings.

The first final of CHTS will come quite soon, there should be all checked, so if possible gimme the .xml and Version-Infos the next 1,2,3 days, if possible.

thanx

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
this thread is one of my (re)minds, so thanx for the suggestion. will come together with event triggering, and I will consider it, when I start dev it.

thanx friend

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
"soon" depends on my time and some other factors, but I plan to begin with it soon. the preparations are done for it already.

Before you will get a very well tested final of CHTS, which has other important things (most to mention: support for all languages and renameable profiles and very good stability) - and then will come step-by-step the announced things afterwards.

thank you for the nice words - you can be sure, I try my best to get it in my free time (I personally want it, too :) )

Regards

Peter
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zimas:
I'm impresed how fast you reply :)

forgot to mention ROM, my ROM is 3.14 (RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_EastEurope_3.14.479.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe), CHT v2.0, CHTS v2.0.2

My chtssettings.xml attached.

A few suggestions:

1. there is in CHT Data switch, witch works very well, so maybe you can triger this switch in some time frames (when device is in IDLE for some minutes)

2. there is some nice program with name NoData :), it changing some registry settings so that GPRS connection is imposible at all, maybe you could also implement some registry change which will block GPRS permanent (this is very useful when roaming, then I'm sure that GPRS is imposible at all, and no surprise in my mobile invoice).

Keep good working, your app will be killer :), I already put this in MUST HAVE list ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zimas:
My device is HTC HD2 (forgot to write :))
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
he mate,

ok, thanx, I will check it.

the "nodata", which makes GPRS impossible at all, is already in CHTS (the option is in permanent data settings part) - exactly that what you mean. it's a little bit confusing that nodata is a profile as well as a data option, but in final the profiles are anyway renameable.

for check each xx minites, I will come up with another solition later, which will do this quite similar like that, what you suggested.

I also think I should add options for power settings quite soon, I have collected much experience now because of chtstateLOG and the power settings are very tricky (e.g. gwes power handling) and the registry keys alone can cause indeterminate suspend states. but it's useful to make them adjustable, to get correct idle feedbacks. some devices have indeed quite wrong settings there because of Rom or other apps, which switch the wrong values. I think it will get higher priority in Roadmap.

thanx 4 feedback.

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zimas:
Hi,

Yes, I see option in CHTS: Permanent Data Connection->GPRS enabled (NoData), but even I put it OFF or ON, I still can connect to GPRS (open web page, update weather and etc), it automatically creating connection on any app request, so it would be good that if I set to OFF I can't estabilish GPRS connection, in that case all app request to estabilish connection will be rejected because it's not posible to connect. I don't know if we are talking about the same app "MoDaCo NoData", here it is: (http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility-nodata/) and it works perfect ;), but it don't have profiles and you need to control it manual, and on WM6.5 it's not so easy to switch - not touch friendly. So I hope you can improve this featue in your app and fix bugs, and I can use your app for GPRS control, you have very good options in your app for controling GPRS connections this is all I need.

Power settings is also interesting part
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] accountabc:
This is may be a bit off topic, but if you want a touchfriendly alternative to NoData, I recommend Datacontroller :). It basically does the exact same thing, but the sense SDK is used for the interface so it looks better and is much more fingerfriendly then NoData
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
@Zimas

hey m8, nodata permanent toggle in CHTS should behave exactly same as modaco's NoData. So we're talking about the same.

I saw in your settings, that 3-state-toggle for it was set to "don't change it".

So it can't work. ensure that left icon is enlighted and right toggle is set to off.

In Manual it's explained.

but hey - can also be, that something wasn't saved there, this was already mention and will be fixed. For your issue it looks more than 3-state-toggle wrong config.

please fedback

Micha

(and I think CHTS is finger-friendly, isn't it? :) )
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
Hi, I had initially the same thoughts about that, but when I started playing with CHTS many of them (thoughts) changed. Even if it has already been answered, I would like to disagree with you. Not on your arguments - I understand, but don´t share them - but rather on the user friendliness.

I also like GPRS to follow my will and not randomly connect by itself. This means for me, I want to have it off and on at my own will, and with only "the touch of a button". So for me the way CHTS handles GPRS is fine - it´s off initially and permanently, but when I actually choose an app that needs to connect, it does, without me having to switch profiles ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclu:
First thank you for great program!:)

If possible in the future, option for code pin.

Example i want switch to flight mode on for nigth

and morning switch automatically to flight mode off.

I utilize before, program called "CT Scheduler" (very similar name:D)

for this function, now program not work with my new rom.

Sorry for my very poor english.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
use "network" instead of flightmode, then you have it right now. battery saving effect is similar in tests between flightmode and network. but it needs no Pin. was harder to add this feature, but it's more useful than "phone" or "flightmode" in my opinion.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cyclu:
Thank you, i have test "network" function and report later.
