Hi all,
I have been using PPC Profiles for some time now- I have recently discovered the PhoneAlarm app...
I love all the features of PhoneAlarm- especially the repeating alarm on sms etc.
I don't really need many of the display items of the PhoneAlarm today bar; what I do want is all the Profiles listed side by side (as with PPC Profiles).
As PhoneAlarm is generally better- is it possible to have the above feature in PhoneAlarm?
So, all I really need is an app that has repeating alarms and profiles displayed side by side. Even an individual app that does the repeating alarm thing would be great.
Thanks.
Hi SH500
I currently use PhoneAlarm, but check out SuperAlert for PPCPhone edition. You should be able to find it at www.pocketfillers.com This is just a repeating alarms app that runs in background, accessible from a icon in the system tray. You can use in conjunction with your current profile software, or try the excellent PocketZenPhone for profile functionality. PZP is available in today screen and system tray versions, so you can keep your today screen really clean with this and SuperAlert.
Hope that helps
Regards
Chris
Nice one- i'll have to look into those software titles.
Thanks.
Phonealarm Profile switching
you can use the buttons of the navigation pad (left-right) on your macigcan to switch between the profiles. this is just like having the profiles side by side. first klick down until the phonealarm is marked, then use right or left to switch.
Orlando- a great tip- even for many others I should imagine.
Thanks.

Why dont my programs close when I press the X at the top right? This is very annoying. I have to go to my running programs and close them manually, grrr. Anyway, is there a way to change the default behaviour so that the programs do close? Or is there a utility to do so?
Thanks
Allan
it's always been that way with pocketpc / windows ce
it's ment to be that way
pocket plus let you do it different but with some applications it mess up pretty bad if they are closed like that
like if you write an sms and send it and then close outlook before the sms is sendt 100%
Use Tascal Close all application from this site.
http://www2r.biglobe.ne.jp/~tascal/download/pocketpc/index_e.htm
Dear "allanmb", try spb Pocket Plus 2.0 or 2.1, it has the "close" button feature, in addition to other useful features, like:
Today plug-in.
Short cuts to programs
Drag-and-drop in Today plug-in
Saving webpages and pictures in PIE
New window support in PIE.
Taskbar battery indicator (in the top)!
Extended themes
Storage card formatting
ZIP support.
"Folder Up" button added.
And other features.
Any way, it is a good tool.
Another good software that has this feature, is Battery PackPro from Omega One, it has alos "close" button features, Today Plug In, Battery indicator (nice one)!, and other features as well!
Both are good.
Wizbar advance also allow program closure
Hello,
Another program I use a lot is Wizbar advance currently at v. 1.3.2.2 from Lakeridge software (it's freeware).
It's also skinnable, shows battery/ memory in top bar etc.
If you do choose to use it though, watch out for it hiding your notifications eg. sms etc. - it only shows a static notification icon. I would recommend PocketZenPhone running along side it. (Also freeware, available in these forums). PZP allows profiles like the nokia phones for meeting, silent, pager etc., but also allows huge customisation of the phone within these profiles - including changing the way the leds flash when there is a sms or message waiting!
PS - There should be a wizbar advance for phone edition PPC soon, and they are currently beta testing wizbar advance version 2, so hopefully some of the issues will be cleared up.

Wisbar Advance can do this but it is not freeware just for the info...
wktask
WkTASK - http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html
it's freeware
Is there a way to turn it off at def time and turn it on again
Not free, but check out SKSchema:
http://www.s-k-tools.com/skschema/skschema.html
However, you can do it with various other apps if you can edit the notification queue. Eg, memmaid will let you do this.

Editing notification isn't enough
According to dinarsoft (makers of memmaid) there is no facility to create a repeating notification; you have to have a notification that both does something and writes a new notification when it does so. This isn't possible by just editing a notification (they say; I'm no expert and I would really like to set a program to run automatically at, say 1AM).
try PocketZenPhone, search to download in google, hope this info helpful.
PocketZenPhone looks very cool
but I just paid for SKSchema after establishing that it would do what I needed. I'm alsol happy with SPB Diary, which provides similar functionality in putting useful programs on the today screen. If at some point I become dissatisfied with SKSchema, PZP seems like a wonderful program with a lot of good Today screen functionality. Kind of like SKSchema and SPB Diary in one.
I'm hoping someone can assist me - I'm looking for a task scheduler for the Ameo that allows me to configure the PDA settings. For example, of an evening, I setup the Ameo to charge on my bedside table, with the SPBClock running in fullscreen screensaver mode, so I can look across in the middle of the night and see what time it is. However, each night, I have to change the settings to drop the screen brightness down to minimum so that the glare doesn't fill the room too much. And each morning, I have to turn the brightness up again so that I'm able to use the device in the day.
I'd like to be able to schedule this automatically. Also, I'd like to be able to configure the volume control to set itself to a standard setting each evening (quiet, but not too quiet) then change the volume again in the morning.
Id also like to schedule programs to start up/close down at scheduled times, but I think most task schedulers do this anyway.
Recommendations please?
Phone alarm sounds like the most likely candidate..

I use PhoneAlarm and it will do this. Only issue is WiFi control is a little flakey, but I think that's a WM5 issue in general. PhoneAlarm also has other nice features. I'm a fan. It does have a nice skin that works well with TrueVGA.
Looks like it could do the job - I've installed it, so I'll see how I get on with it and do a review. Nice and cheap as well for purchasing the full version. Cheers All!
Hello People,
I would like to hear what software you are using to handle profiles.
I find the options offered by TF3D/Sense UI, very basic and unsatisfactory.
So far I have heard of:
G-Prifle,
Phone Alarm
Phoneweaver
Problem is that, with the exception of phoneweaver, these apps don't integrate well with graphic shells.
Advice is most welcome.
Profiles!
I use Second Today, with it you can get second today screen and put all today-plugins there and still have TouchFlow on.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401907
I use 2today with PhoneAlarm and it works just fine. I assigned 2today to send button. PhoneAlarms latest beta can operate Touch pros 2 bluetooth stack. There is 7 diffrent setting at bluetooth and mine device worked with setting BluetoothFix=5. Itried Phone Weaver, but it crashed sometimes with 2Today, and it cannot handle BT toggle.
I havent test G-Profile, but i read at they forum that its not fuction good with Touch Pro 2.
I used a long time Phone Suite 1.3 and that worked good with profiles, but it cannot handle BT toggle. And its version is rather old and it hasnt been updated for long time.
So im very happy with 2today with phonealarm, when im in car and put BT handsfree i can set a profile to that, and my volumes go up to 100%.

Sorry for my english
I had the same question. Ultimately, I am back with PhoneAlarm. Nothing beats it, functionally, and there's now a solution to specifically support TF without needing a second today screen. Installing the latest version allows an icon on the taskbar using the new "paHost" mode. Try it.
I'm using the "FlippedOutV_B_w" skin to get all kinds of neat switches available at the touch of a button. Added a row of apps to launch and a row of folks to call and it's pretty slick. I just wish I could change the icon to a clock with a date or something like that.
Hi,
Only had my HD2 for a couple of days having come from iphone and have a couple of gripes with it. Maybe it's just me though as never had a windows phone before.
When using opera internet browser you have to zoom in quite a bit to press links, which I find a little annoying. I've tried skyfire which is much better, but you can't use pinch/zoom. Is there a browser that has the best of both worlds?
Is there a quick way to turn bluetooth on/off without having to go into settings?
Is there a quick link to profiles? I know if you hold the end call button you can select between vibrate or ringer, but not silent. I must admit, this is one thing I liked about the iphone, there was a simple switch to change from silent/ringer without having to turn the phone on and press buttons.
When making/receiving calls sometimes the screen comes back on and my ear presses other functions, or disconnects the call. Has there not been a fix for this issue yet?
The call quality isn't great, sometimes the caller distorts on certain words/letters
And finally, is there any way to change the vibrate? Can it be set to 'pulse' rather than just a continous vibration. Can it be set just to give one or 2 pulses when receiving a sms/mms message, rather than vibrating for the full length of the message alert? (I've personalised mine and goes on for about 10 seconds)
I think the phone is great, and these niggles aren't the most major of things (accept the screen turning back on during calls) but it would make the phone more of a pleasure to use.
Cheers
There are fixes or programs for most of your niggles, but they may not integrate with the HTC Sense interface! That's one downside of such a deeply coded front end, and one reason why I personally have stopped using it!
There is a file available which can allow links in Opera to be clicked when zoomed out- sorry, but I don't have time to link to it at present!
For profile and radio (BT/WiFi/Phone) switching, I'd recommend SBSH Phoneweaver . OK, it costs $15 but you can set any number of profiles with switching based on time, location, busy status etc, or manually. The pop-up menu also has a set of switches for the various radios. It can be launched via one of the 3 Program buttons on the front page of Sense, or via a small icon in the Taskbar. I'm, not sure if it can have the vibrate times defined or not!

Thanks for your response. What are you referring to when you say radios? Please forgive my ignorance, I'm still learning
You say that you have stopped using the HTC sense interface so what do you use instead?
Just having a look at the phoneweaver, can this be used with the sense interface? Does it overide the phone settings?
Radios = WiFi, Bluetooth and Phone Radio. These are the things you see in the Comm Manager with the little green On/Off sliders
I'm now using a 'Light' custom ROm without the HTC Sense stuff. I prefer to use a plain 'Home Screen' (which you can achieve by going into Settings/Home (or Today) and selecting the Items tab. From there you can turn on or off any of the Today items or Sense itself.
A lot of the programs I use have their own Today screen plug-ins which suits me fine- Resco Contact Manager, Elecont Weather and Chronos clock/alarms, plus I use a Launcher program called Launchpad by Panoramic Software that is opened by tapping the top left of the screen; this has 40 definable 'Favourites' links plus a full set of Programs/Settings links.
Back to work now!

It can take over all the phone settings and can be manual or scheduled, plus some other useful switching options. You can try it free for 15 days!

Thanks for that thread, the trouble is I'm not a real computer/phone buff (yet) and so a lot of it goes right over my head. I don't even know what registry's are, and wy you need to edit them???
Ok, the concept of registry is quite simple. I'll put in a way so anyone can understand. Its a repository of stored key/value pairs.
Imagine a folder like structure, when you open a folder you will find a series of keys which, when opened, reveal the value.
Every key/folder is used by the OS or by some application. Its where all the back door settings are stored. So if you wanna make an app or the OS behave in a way you need to change the settings.
Using the registry is easy, but you have to make the first step... so what are you waiting?

Can I bugger up the phone if I don't know what I'm doing?
You can always make a backup of the registry you are changing. In resco registry editor tap and hold and press export. If the changes you made are not good, go to the folder where you exported the backup and open it. It will automatically imported and problem solved. But if you follow the instructions you won't have any problems, just don't change the registry for something you don't know or never seen in any tip/suggestion.
You could affect stuff if you dont do it right... but if you follow the instructions carefully without any typing errors, you will be fine...
Use this to Turn off BT easily.... it also does a lot of other stuff... basically, your bottom left softkey will become an "action" button... prssing that will bring up the screen shown in the screenshots. Works really well for me... also give you soft reset options without opening the back cover or powering off
