profiles

has anyone tested www.jgui.net phoneprofiles on qtek 9100?
is there another application to manage phone profiles on my qtek?
tnx

and pocket zen phone??

Many folks use PocketZenPhone or Phone Alarm.
I have always had problems with apps from JGUI.

pocketzen and phone alarm seem to be so much complicated

Well I'd recommend PocketZenPhone because of this great profile switching based on outlook switches.
Also, Photo Contacts PRO now provides this functionality to switch profiles (and a lot more, there's a trial available at their website).
I find that a combination of both these applications to work quite well and they both complement each other.
Cheers

I use PPC Profiles Pro. I tried PocketZenPhone but it seemed to slow much device down too much. PPC Profiles Pro is not as comprehensive as Zenphone but it's small, responsive and does what I need.

Functioned perfectly on my XDA II, did not function on my HTC Magician or Wizard.
Get ready for a Hard Reset.

If you want a light weight profile manager try win mobile apps phone profiles. http://www.winmobileapps.com/device/pocketpc/plt/plt.aspx

I looking for SW that can change profile automatically by hours of day

give pocketzen a go
the initial one didnt work, 5.5 i think it was... although it worked partially, the settings wouldnt so it was a bit pointless
then came out a newer release of the 5x series but ive not tried that... although i know many using it on the wizard
i myself started to use the very 6 beta 2 which worked great but wont be installing it until beta 3 comes out as theres a few niggles that do affect my phone such as bluetooth not turning on on incoming and volume minimum level being 1 not 0
once thats fixed its going back on... loved it while i used it
fully customisable and very easy to use
could do with a help menu for some of the items which i did not understand how to work with

yep, this one is nice, neat, light and free, however it does not provide such power as PZP which i personally use and recommend.

actually I own PZP as well but stopped using it a few months back [when I had WM2003SE] I haven't tried the newer versions for WM5 though.... maybe I'll get the new version when I've more time.

[Q] Looking for Phone Profile Switcher suggestions

Can anyone recommend a Phone Profile switcher as either a Today plug-in or bottom tray icon?
I've seen mention of the free Winmobileapps Phone Profiles http://www.winmobileapps.com/device/pocketpc/plt/plt.aspx but I was hoping to find a profiler which could read my calendar and switch into meeting mode automatically.
I found exactly that in another free application called PPC Profiles Pro, but this thread from the developer mentions this software wasn't designed for WM5.0 and may not work properly: http://www.modaco.com/MDA-Vario-and-PPCProfiles-t232911.html
I guess I don't mind paying for an application that can switch profiles and autoswitch when I want it to, but free or not - any suggestions?

You may want to give PhoneAlarm a try...
http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.htm

Yes phonealarm and pocketzenphone should do what you want, PZP at http://www.pocketzenphone.net/PZPForum/index.php
PPC Profiles does work on the wizard - just I didnt like the look of it.
I use Phone profiles as it has a small footprint and easy to use. Also reminds me most of smartphone or nokia interface that I used to use so I feel at home = hopefully an update soon.

Thanks for the feedback! I installed the PPC Profiles software and agree, the interface is kludgy. I think it's just trying to do too much on the main screen. I installed the winmobileapps software and it seems just fine. I like how I can use this to go into Flight Mode, too. It will be very cool when they add wi-fi to the list of things it can control.

timed profiles

My old basic nokia phone had a feature that I miss - the ability to set a ring profile to be active until a certain time. Is there an equivalent for the wizard (actually an O2 miniS)?
I've seen posts about PocketZenPhone which does it, but I just need this one function. I also don't particularly want to install the O2 plus stuff (although I don't know if it has that feature anyway).
Anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks,
John

Pocket Phone Zen .. or PocketZen
And PhoneAlarm

PPC profiles will do the job

Thanks for pointing me to that one. Definitely not as flexible as the 2 hanmin suggested but it does pretty much what I need. Would be nice to have more than just 3 auto configurations.
John

PhoneAlarm will also do this. www.pocketmax.net
J-Man5

Yeah, as Hanmin said, Pocket Zen Phone and Phonealarm both have this feature, but they also have a huge stack of other features I don't need (and more to the point, don't want to pay for). I tried both and they do look like excellent add-ons - just way more than I need.
PPC Profiles Pro, whilst not perfect, does close to what I need (and it's free). However, I'll see how it behaves over the next week or so and, who knows, may jump to one of the other apps if necessary.
Thanks again for all the suggestions. Much appreciated.
John

I just ordered a copy of PocketZenPhone http://www.pocketzenphone.net/ I also came from a Nokia Phone and that is exactly what I was looking for.
Here is my phone/pda history.

What are the best profile management app?

I use WM profiles and have tried phone weaver and spb phone suite but they seem to lack a bit in the actual "profile" dept. Sure you can have them go to flight mode and change your ringtone and volume and stuff but I need a little more than that.
I would like to be able to control everything pretty much in the notifications area with each profile change.
Example: To be able to change whether new emails will alert or not. Or, what reminder alert to use or if reminders repeat or not. It seems simple to pull all the info from the sounds/notifications settings at scheduled times or manually. But it may not be.
Just wondering if anyone has any input on this. A good profile application is very useful.

PhoneWeaver 1.02

Hi!
Try PhoneAlarm from pocketmax.net, I think you will find almost all options you can imagine for the profiles.

I find Photo Contacts PRO 5 (Automatic Profiles, Call Blocking, Distinctive Ringtones & SMS, Today Plugin) a number one and must have app.

Yep ive used phonealarm for a long time now, the best feature is the automatic progile change based on location/power status etc...

PhoneAlarm is certainly a champ, great software.
But if you just need Profiles, I have to say SBSH PhoneWeaver is great. Nice options, simple and light on resources. The enable/disable Push email is fantastic.
PhoneAlarm is nice if you also want repeating notifications and a Today plugin that displays counters and other info. I use rlToday for that so it was overkill for just profiles.

PocketZenPhone seems to be doing for me more than any other apps listed above.

agree 100% to moisha. I am using PocketZenPhone for years now. It is one of the software pieces I bought!

I bouhgt PZP one year ago. It was working very nice on my Wizard and on my Orbit (bouth WM5)
Since i´m using WM6 on my Orbit i have some problems.

PocketZenPhone is the one to go for
At least, that's my personal opinion. I've been using it for a few years now as well.
With regards to WM6, I've recently flashed my Charmer to WM6 and PZP is still working OK and without any problems.

Is there also any freeware tool available?

Yes, I have been using PhoneAlarm and it's pretty good too. Give it a try.
Think there's some free one out there. Do a check. Can't remember the name now.

I use Profiles for Windows Mobile ( h**p://www.winmobileapps.com/device/pocketpc/pwm/pwm.aspx )
Excellent piece of software . lightweight stable and flawless

More Question From Me, Some Phone Some Program Related

Hey guys,
It's me yet again, I've got some more questions I'm not sure if I should split some for the other forum area or not. Either way, let's start. Note that I'm migrating from a Nokia N95 so ignore my lack of knowledge I'm trying .
1. What programs would you guys suggest for sending text messages from my HD to another phone via my laptop, bluetooth or USB are good, Nokia PC Suite had something for this but I've not found anything for WinMo.
2. I'm used to having a the ease of changing my profiles so my ring tones and what-not for different situations normally at will, WinMo does this very differently is there a program that I can use to just pick say 'Work' and it goes to vibrate?
3. Is there a newer version of the Opera mobile? I'd like to update it as it think it has a few bugs.
4. My contacts are Sur, For how do I change this for all contacts? I have far too many to change them all by hand.
Sorry about the length and thanks again.

For such a large forum it amazes me that hardly anyone posts to my topics.

Yep - you can download the Cab for DDrivers 15 Tab TF3D changer for HD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=450278
This allows you to have 15 tabs on the bottom of the screen - one of which is a profile manager. There are loads of applications out there which also do a profile manager and can also do it for time of day etc.
3. Is there a newer version of the Opera mobile? I'd like to update it as it think it has a few bugs.

Newest version is a beta - try using the forum to search for newer non-beta released version - some people have posted some updated versions - but Opera has a few issues at present.

One way is to use Outlook or Outlook express and import your settings from your Nokia to this. Then update what you require in Outlook - surname/first name or vice versa (means you can use the keyboard and mouse). Then connect your device to the computer and update contacts through active sync.
Or get a different contacts program: Something like this:

Thank you very much .
I've installed the Outlook add-on and look forward to using it. What other profile programs would you suggest as I'd like to ring and vibrate at the same time or just vibrate but with the ability to listen to music (vibrate turns off sound WTF?).
Also which is newer the Opera beta or the Opera on the forums? I'm a bit confused as to which to use ...
Lastly will these contacts programs replace the HTC variation or simply add my changes to the HTC version? I rather stick to the inbuilt one as my main contact storage.

Yeah - bit of a pain that one. I use S2U2 and S2P
http://www.ac-s2.com/
- this allows me to set different levels for the volume of the ring and the audio. You can do this on the standard volume control on the HD by clicking the top tab but I prefer the S2U2 version where you see both volume levels in the same window.
You have to go into the settings of S2U2 and turn volume control ON under the phone settings.
If you don't like the S2U2 thing there are loads of other apps with volume control settings. Think of your phone as a phone and a music player hence 2 controls! S2P = Slide to Play. Is a bit like the iphone's music player - get the open GL version as it is better for touch HD.
Also which is newer the Opera beta or the Opera on the forums? I'm a bit confused as to which to use ...

Hard to say - the beta may be newer but will have issues with stability (hence beta as it is not a real release and intended for testing). Best to find someone on the forums who has a stable version. I'll have a look but so far mines kinda still got issues.

It will replace it. May have to bite the bullet and go into outlook or sort them individually. Good thing is - once you've done it - it's done. I spent an hour sorting mine in Outlook but I'm glad I did as it now means I have a very tidy contacts list in both applications and they are synchronised together - so if my phone/outlook lose data I can just put it back again. Plus outlook can backup the settings to a .PST file or to excel etc for importing to other programs and computers.
Main thing is. So long as you have backed up your contacts you can always put them back on your device the way you like em!
Hope this helps? If you need more help just ask - I'll do my best.....

Sorry missed a bit....
A large number of people use SPB as their profile tool.
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshell/
May be able to find it on this site for testing but if you like it you should buy it.
I'm sure there are loads out there just have to go through and install some and then take them off is they don't work as you like.
Good thing about the phone is if you think you've messed your phone up you can do a Hard Reset which boots the phone back to how you got it when you first turned it on!
Look at this page for some good ideas and tips
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone

Thanks for your help.
Can SPB Mobile Shell be used with TouchFLO3D? I enjoy using the interface so not looking to change any time soon.
Thanks about looking into Opera for me, I've seen a version posted round January but that's it.

No SPB Mobile Shell cant be used with TF3D. Or actually TF3D cant be used with SPB Mobile shell. You can technically keep TF3D running, and then use SecondToday software to add a second today screen that is easily accessible by tapping one of the 2 bottom soft keys. I have this very setup. I have mobile shell and pocket plus as my main today screen, and SPB Diary and SPB Insight as a second today screen. This allows me to have SPB Diary as a full screen as it starts at the very top and ends when it ends (at 300 because thats SPB's max alignment).

For profile auto switching, try Inesoft Phone. It can coexist with TF3D.

Agree with everything above.
Should have asked you - What issues are you having with Opera?
This will help me to troubleshoot for you as it may be options.

Thanks for your help again guys.
Inesoft Phone seems a bit slow and I can't seem to find out how to delete some of the profiles as well as release the contacts (I only wanted the profile application NOT the others).
Regarding Opera it's mainly because the keyboard seems to type very slowly on webpages, the URL bar and stuff is fine it's only when typing say a username or password on a website that it has problems.

Can't say that happens on mine - Have search XDA-Dev forums and also Google and some people report it is a bit slow and have tried using Opera Mini.
It may be worth doing a post specifically for this as someone will be able to help (hopefully)

Personally I'd stick with Opera mobile, I used Opera Mini on my N95 once, it was good but the power of Opera mobile is still by far the best in regards to mobile internet experience. If anyone finds a newer version of Opera please send it my way .
Just to point out that I'm still looking for a profile application, Inephone installs the Address Book which I don't want. I've recently enjoyed using SSMaPa so I suggest it for anyone who needs it.
Thanks for your help again guys.

Any more suggestions?
