Okay, I went against everything I know and bought the software untested. Boy do I regret it.
I have a Cingular 8125. I installed PocketZenPhone and instantly started having problems. The unit now plays the Activesync noise about every five minutes for no aparent reason.
Last night I went in to customize the settings for bed and my phone lost it's cell connection and couldn't place calls. I soft reset the unit and still no service. I reset PZP back to it's default settings, no service. I deleted PZP and still no service. It took a hard reset to restore my cell service. I just re-installed PZP and it's doing the same thing.
Whenever I go into Tools and try to scroll thru the different modes with the arrows, it pops up the "Save Changes" dialogue even though I didn't change anything. I click on "Cancel" and it goes back to the mode I was trying to change. I try to view and it goes to the "Save Changes" screen again. There's no way to view the other modes without saving changes that I haven't made.
I DO NOT recommend buying this software. The author should make a demo available to test on your unit.
Incidentally, the only other apps I had installed were Pocket Informant, Resco Utilities, Registry Wizard, SKtools, WiFiFoFum and Flexmail. None of the programs had been changed in days. The no service problem started after install PZP.
Anyone else with similar issues?
my phone started doing the constant active sync noise too and I could never figure out why. It still does long after uninstalling PZP. I wonder if theres a way to fix this without a hard reset. Maybe I'll just wait till I upgrade the rom, but I've been putting off upgrading because I wanted to wait for a new version that had a clock instead of a battery icon at the top.
I just downloaded the PZP beta 6 and I'm going to give that a try.
As for the ROM upgrades, I'm baffled. I've unlocked my phone and I have the ROM from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45295, I just don't know if I want to install it.
I just posted at the developers site and I'll see what he has to say.
Glad I'm not the only crazy one :wink:
WOW
after installing the pocketzenphone I had to Hard reset because it would not boot up anymore, thats really @#$% up, the good thing is I had a backup... but very upset because I kinda like the idea of this software. Oh Well, anybody else has/had this problem?
WOW PZP never did those things to my 8125. I have the orginal rom installed never changed anything like that. I did find that I has some phantom alerts and I could never figure out what the heck it was trying to alert on as it was not any messages or appointments, I tossed it up to just a crazy check that I could never find in the options. But after I went through and customized all the settings for each profile the way I liked it, the phantom alerts ended.
It never locked up my phone, although my phone does routinely loss signal and goes into search mode for about a 1-2 minutes randomly during the day and that I can't solve or blame on any one thing!!!!! It is the most annoying bug of the phone so far.
I ended up giving up on PZP, yes after I purchased it with no trial, and moved onto PhoneAlarm, skinnable and it worked and was easy to see why the hell it was alerting you and was easy to dimiss... So at $20 it was a bit steep but I like the functionality and it worked for the most part. It still does not play nice with the back light, but I think I figured out settings to minimize it turning off the back lighting vs setting it to a lower value.
No I doubt you are crazy, PZP seemed to be a good profile switcher and an alright repeating alarm notification. There are acknowledged problems with having it switch profiles based on calendar events, but I really don't use it for that so I did not try it out....

well, instead of complaining i'd suggest to conact PZP's author and submit it as a bug. it's always so easy to complain, isn't it..? but remember - not everything is perfect and if you'd like it to be perfect or almost-perfect - give a feedback to author. i'm sure he would like to make his application as best as he can, but without any feedback he won't do anything in that matter!
i'm using PZP without any problems, i really don't know why do you and others have such issues, but personally i think PZP is really good piece of software. there are few things which i don't like and i wrote it to author. he responded quite quickly, thanked for feedback and said that some new stuff is coming with new 6.0 version. however, whole case's bottomline is - FEEDBACK IS VERY IMPORTANT. always.

I agree with eva_d:
1. No major problems for me on a TMO-USA MDA. I am using the Version 6 Beta 10.
2. I find it very useful. There are a few minor issues, but...
3. The developer of PZP is very responsive. Visit http://zendrui.free.fr/PZPForum/ and leave a message... and/or check out the newest beta to see if your problems aree already solved!

What the h*** are you talking about??? The guy bought, I repeat BOUGHT, as in spent money, the software and he is entitled to complaining as much as he wants if the product he purchased didn't deliver what was promissed. Yes, he should contact the developer and ask for a solution/ refund, but complaining and letting other potential buyers know about the issues is exactly the type of stuff that puts pressure on the companies to work hard to deliver good products and be responsible for their mistakes when they start selling a deffective product. I too had problems with PZP, but since I was using a trial, I simply uninstalled it. Great concept, not reliable AT ALL.
Man, am I tired of J.A.'s that act as if they were a superior form of life that's burdened with the task of teaching lesser beings moral values and forum rules. Gimme a break!

this is EXACTLY what i mean! i can understand complains, it's totally acceptable, but don't forget that developers want hear these complains as well - in some reasonable way of course - to make their products better. but if you just give a **** and nothing else, don't expect anything more...

I think I have every right to complain. I did contact the author and he had me upgrade to version 6. I did and it seems to have alleviated all of my problems.
Thanks eva_d and malencar for the backup! I didn't mean to come off as totally slamming the programmer, but if I can keep other people from having to waste their money, great.
hi all,
any s/w available for having video ringtones on wm5 ?
why would you want video ringtones?
Something eye catching for deaf people?
it looks cool...so is nethin 4 tht available ?
time to keep this post on the top of the thread. someone please code this up before apple takes credit for one more thing.
http://gizmodo.com/5020939/video-ringtones-for-iphone-revolutionize-answering-your-phone
and i dont want to hear "oh thats stupid" because after apple does it...it will be the best thing since slice bread.
it would be nice to see it in a program like S2U.

If I could work out how to capture calls, I'd give it a shot... But, I haven't worked it out yet!
I hate Apples marketing lies too!
VERY DOPE IDEA.....someone please hop on this
ya for real i will donate or pay. we need something way cool to shut the iphone people up. video ringtones
maybe itll be easier to start with animated flash or gif instead of full vdeio clips? very interesting idea indeed!
If you could capture the incoming call
the all that woyld be needed is like tcpmp to play full screen video
or even wmp instead of audio ringtone
With 2 buttons Ignore and answer
And of course the caller ID info displaying
I havet written code in 10 yrs and I was never that good
i wish i was though
This is a great idea
But sprint phones had Video Ringtones like 5 years ago
On the sanyo mm500
So APPLE didnt revolutionize sh**
But WinMo can make it BETTER!!!
Apple are not revolutionary, and this is done by a seperate company anyway...
I'll package up a very basic call capturer as a test to see if it works in theory... Then I'll try and embed some form of media player...
could we maybe modify photo app by removing limitations (picture format),so it can play gif's as someone mentioned....or maybe a plug-in will be enough....it'll just take to make a plug-in
I was just wondering yesterday why WM phones can't do this. Seeing that a lot of non-smartphones can do it. I don't really mind since it's kind of pointless. I have S2U2 showing who's calling me, which is actually useful.
I think this is a cool idea, not sure that I would use it, but nevertheless..nice idea
Here's a quick test app to see if it's possible to intercept the calls...

So has anyone tried this yet?
Edit: I put it on my device but I'm not sure what to do with it. When I click on the icon it gives me some screen about the caller name, the caller number & the caller contact... with the only options to accept or reject. Any suggestions or just a description l3v5y?

Wait until you get a call and tell me if it pops up above the default screen.

Who has installed this on the HD2? Are there any issues?
I have it and it performs very well. I found some issues with the S2U2 phone answering capability and so have not use that because it appeared to conflict with the slide to answer built in to the handset.
I note that there is an recent S2U2 upgrade though so this may have been addressed. Follow the extensive instructions and you will not go wrong.
I recommend it.
I have it installed too. No noticable problems.
I'm using the tPro theme and it looks pretty cool.

Well, im on 1.48 official german ROM with S2U2 2.24, and i had a huge battery drain over the last two nights. More than 40% were gone after 7 hours of sleep. Im not completely sure if its S2U2 but its the only external program running in the background over night. I have disabled it for now, lets see what happens this night. But try it out for yourself, maybe your're a bit luckier than me^^...
I haven't had any battery problems with S2U2.
I'm using version 2.14.
Have just installed this - how do you get rid of the normal htc lock screen as i dont want to have to unlock twice . thanks

Has anyone had any issues with S2U2 not displaying the caller image if the image is from a linked facebook profile?
Please can someone help. I'm sure I raised this question ages ago but can't find it.
I was using v2.41 and this had the error and now after upgrading to 2.43 the error still exists...
When on a call and another call comes through, The buttons to decide whether to answer the incoming call or to reject it get overlaid by more text from somewhere. More often than not, I make the wrong choice.
The lowest button (3rd?) has a red background if that helps...
Thanks for any help offered!
Just finished the new ROM update, few things I have noticed, maybe there are solutions, ive read have not seen them addressed to a point that I understand.
Have not had a chance to interact via sms, but I normally type using the phone pad, and man they messed it up, i have to go half the speed as before, very laggy on that part, any way to have a cab that will revert back to just the typing? I know the update was to fix the OS selecting the last message, and you had to click on the type area to see what you are typing, but before I could type at normal speed on the old OS.. any thought, in simple words on how to achieve this?
I know they have changed the way things scroll up and down when your looking at lists.. its more snappy and some times very choppy or almost like it gets stuck for a moment and then jumps to end.. especially when ur scrolling on a small list. and read the top or bottom, before it slow down and come to end, now it snaps, is there settings for that some where?
Thank you
basically what you are experiencing... is the touch screen sensitivty that has been screwed with by t-mobile tech department....
for some reason.. people on these boards "claim" that it is a improvement, although the majority of it's users who have downloaded the new update has complained nonstop about this certain issue... basically what had happened... was they were attempting to fix something that no one had a problem with... they screwed with the sensitivity so that it would be more pleasing to previous Iphone users/ Casual movile users...
some people seem to disagree with me on this issue (for reasons I CANNNOT EXPLAIN... I call it ignorrance....) but the FACT IS... the screen is MUCH MUCH worse then it had been prior to the update... and what proves my statement even more... is that T-Mobile themselves has removed the update from their own website... stating that they released the rom with many errors and bla bla bla... the whole update was a mistake.. THANKFULLY.. we do not have to use some cheap alternative and hack the registry to get our p[hone screen back.. it's gonna come back fixed after they update their own update...
so yea.. just "deal" with it temporarily... we'll get an "official" fix soon

great, so now i have to wait for them to do a new update, to then reinstall it and then spend another 30 min reconfiguring my phone again to my liking since there is no settings/ email settings slash phone set up back up system like nokia has.. wonderful,
has any one noticed that when you looking at example a long list of items that you want to scroll a tad bit it lags a bit.. like studders when moves, if u go full scroll or fast.. it moves fine, but slow scroll its choppy?
yes the new typing is very messed up.. very..
perhaps you misunderstood my reply... but yes they have noticed changes in the scrolling... (which is due to the screen sensitivity....) not quite sure how you missed that.......

I saw on a diff thread which I cant find now, a cab that allows you to edit the reg files and control the sensitivity of the buttons, any thoughts on that?
or possibly installing the sensitivity cab from the old build?
is that possible?

The sensitivity cab from the old build will reduce sensitivity, and isn't recommended on the new rom. The thread with the sensitivity tweak for the new rom is now a sticky at the top of this section, but here's the direct link:

Hi there guys. New to the cooking arena, so sorry if the answer is plain. I just cooked in build 23676, and most things work fine. The one thing I don't see is when I click on contact details, I don't see anything. Just a blank sheet. Is this a known problem? Any fix for this? I've also tried build 23129, and I see the same issue, just not the extra tabs.
Does anyone know what files are called for contact entry and viewing?
I've seen this problem reported in several ROMs (I *did* search!), but not a solution.
Thanks!
- bump -
Can someone please tell me what files are involved in the display of contact details? I know there are chefs that ran into this same problem. It is driving me nuts!!
I probably cannot help (I have just added 23676 with no such issue, and am a noob chef myself) but it might make it easier for others to help if you added your device to your signature and explained what kitchen you were using, and perhaps what other packages you used (or things you had removed).
I use a Rhodium and Oskitchen. I still use most of the Rhodium 2.07 EXTs but have updated some to the Leo packages. As I said, I have checked and do not have that issue.
Cheers
C.
Thanks for the reply, C. I appreciate you taking the time to at least give your thoughts. The problem with providing all the information you mentioned immediately disqualifies my request for help. I have a "non-HTC" phone (well.. a non-anything phone really) with a Windows 6.5 ROM. I have piece by piece broken that ROM apart, and am trying to insert the newest build features. So I have to handcraft a XIP, go through every package, run custom osnbtool commands, etc. No help from any of the nice kitchens.
I am stuck at this one point, and I must have flashed at least 50 ROM versions to my phone trying to find the one combination that sticks, but no luck. In my search, I have found other chefs that made "standard" HTC ROMs that ran into this. All I'm hoping is someone remembers what they did to fix it. One example is here.
Would you mind doing me a favor? Can you take a screenshot of what the contact details screen looks like and post it? I can try to go through all the image files, and embedded images in DLLs to see if I can spot the graphics that show up on the page.
Err will try - need to dig up a screen shot app etc as dont use them or have one cooked in.
About to go to bed and travelling to a work meeting tomorrow so don't hold your breath - if no one else has chipped in by the time I am back I will try.

No worries. I've waited 3 weeks on anyone responding. A few more days won't hurt.
Hows this?
Are these what you wanted? You can see the theme background coming through behind the contact picture - I dont use this screen much as I use the Manila contacts so not an issue for me.

Yes - perfect! Much appreciated! Now to start digging into the dlls.
You are my hero, crazyC! I've made more progress in a day, than in the last three weeks! I discovered that I had missing icon files in the Base_DPI_96 package. So now I get a contact screen, but the background is not being populated. So I need a little bit more investigative work. Not sure how to get there yet. But man.. progress is progress!
I really appreciate you taking the time out to help me!
I am happy to have helped someone rather than always asking for help!
What do you mean the background is not being populated? I dont understand? Are you talking about the bit where my theme is showing through?

Yes. You see how in my images I have a really blocky bitmap in the first, and a checkered background in the other? I am assuming there is a background image that goes there that I am not getting.
For your contacts, is there a special theme that you installed? I see a dark background with some clouds. If I know where that image comes from, I might get a clue.
