Hi slvrbllt,
Just been to your site. Many thanks for the cycle bluetooth app, just what I was looking for.
I tried your Phone Profiles app and its good but unfortunately conflicts with my Qtek firmwares flight mode - it's a long story.
Anyway I'm trying to remove the app but finding it a little difficult. It keeps saying that /windows/profiler.dll is open or read only even after a soft reset. Any ideas how I can remove the app? It suggests doing a stop all but no apps are listed there.
Thank you,

hi slvrbllt!! Can we assign only a vibration for the new SMS without ringing (for a silent profile for example with a vibration for the ring)? Thanks for this great update!bye

Have you tried DKToday? It's a great BT cycler & more.
@slvrbllt,
Very nice app. you can expect Dutch translations soon. Only thing I like as an improvement is small buttons to quick pick a profile or a possibility to put it in the tray.
Cheers, M

Hmm, looks Good...

Thanks, I gave it a try but it has problems with flightmode also (note. these problems seem to be due to a particular Qtek firmware). I think I'll stick with radiooff and CicleBT. Thanks for the info though.

I've downloaded and installed the software, it look good !!
But when I get an incomming call the callerid popup appears followed by a short beep, not the ringtone I setup in the profile... What am I doing wrong ??
Regards,
Dennis :?

I installed it on my Dopod 818 Pro and it was working fine. However I noticed that the ringtone I assign for any profile is disregarded! It always plays the default ringtone.
So I had to remove it

[Posted to wrong thread]

I can't even install it... I just have this cab(?) file called Winmobileapps_PhoneProfiles.zip but what do I do with it? If I unzip it to my home pc, three files come out from it but none of them is an installation file (.exe)
-John

Try this link http://www.modaco.com/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=15580 then

Yeah, but the specific thing here is; Where do I put the CAB file on my device - which directory??? As you can see I don't know ANYTHING about Win CE
-John

Hi John,
you'll get used to it. I suggest you put the .cab on your SD-card, either via Act.Sync, a card reader or direct download with Pocket Internet Explorer (PIE). Then click it from within File Explorer to install. I've installed it to my storage folder (not the default location) & it runs well.
Another suggestion: get caninstl (google for it), then you can choose where to install cab-files far more easily & it got an option not to delete the cab after finishing the installation.
Regards, M

Nice work slvrbllt, everything that was missing in your first post in now in it. You made me happy hehe

V1.2.0 is out!
Question for Silver Bullet: I saw there is a new feature: Hi-Res icons added.
What is exactly the feature is (I haven't install v1.2.0 yet)?
Thanks!
Regards,
Arto.

@artosoft
Hi-res Icons are for VGA devices only... ;-)
Thanks for your appreciations.

is it possible to set a vibration to an incoming SMS without a ringtone?thanks

Hi slvrbllt, i have tried your other app Flightmode on my BA WM5 and it works great. I have a question on Phone Profiles; would it be possible to add control over the backlight and power save options? This would be helpful to create a profile for "Car" for instance where i need the backlight on and power save disabled for my GPS and would be easier to setup a profile to do this.
Thanks for your applications and hard work.

Annoying Device Lock

Hi All,
I have a VPA Compact II (Cingular 8125) and am synchonizing this with the Exchange Server of my company.
My company have set a policy that the device is locked after 15 minutes.
My problem here is that I am using a navigation software and during my ride the device igets locked every 15 minutes. Very annoying.
Anybody knows a solution for this?
Is there a way to keep alive the device?
Thanks

Ooops.
SOrry found the solution already.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=47912&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=
Sorry again

Must.....get......feedback.....
rogierh,
Let me know how it works. I've received zero feedback on this. I'm curious if people are using it, but just not posting feedback or if its too damn complicated and I need to refine my directions.
Justin

Hi,
I just installed and configured it as you discribed.
Unfortunately my device still gets locked up after 15 minutes (from the policy).
Till the 15 minutes are over the device is kept alive. Normally the backlight would die after 2 minutes, it now stays switched on.
Any idea?
I used the short methode of step 3.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Couple of questions first....
1) What gps software are you using?
2) When you open SKScheMa, does it say "WATCH ON" in the lower right corner?
Justin

Using TomTom.
Yes its ON

I think its a wizard or WM5 problem as it happens with me when listening to MP3s too
Sucks having a 15min lock policy, as i just set a 1hr timeout for mine and its enough to stp it irritating you much.
Is there anyway you can just "Forget" the policy or are you unable to.

Try these files...
Delete the old sksc and sksw file and try these files.
If they work, I'll post them to the original thread (which you posted in your second post). Place these files as described in steps 2 & 3. Sorry for the headache.
Let me know if this works.
Justin

Hmmm sorry to say, still the same.
It keeps the device alive till the 15 minutes policy comes in.
Might this be some other kind of trigger?

Some new files....
rogierh,
Sorry for the headaches. What I'd like to try next is have you try a new set of files. The ones you tried yesterday was supposed to prevent the device from locking by simulating the pressing of the "home" key. I'm wondering if this key doesn't work on your Wizard (I'm using a Universal). These new files will now simulate the pressing of the "enter" button. (Just so you know, when I tested this program on my JasJar/Universal, I did find that using certain "simulated" keys would not work. So maybe the "home" key doesn't work on your Wizard.).
Now this will not be the end solution. When you press the enter key when TomTom is running, it will bring up the main menu. When you press the enter button a second time, it returns you to the navigation screen. I want to test to see if SKScheMa is running properly. If it is, when you launch TomTom and don't touch anything, you should be able to see the screen cycle between the main menu and the navigation screen every 58 seconds.
Let me know if you see this behavior.
Thanks
Justin

Hi,
First of all thanks a lot that you are helping out here.
It doesn't seem to work. The screen does NOT change to the menu and back.
One comment, because I have a German device (unfortunately) , the program is in German as well. But that should not be a problem with the script I think.
You mention in your guide do click to ok button on the right top side. This closes the program and I do not find it running when looking under the started programs in settings. Is this correct?
I also tried not clicking ok, but this does not change anything.
Just trying to think with you. Is the ENTER key the same code as on your device?
BR Rogier

German.....
Thanks for the info on German. My guess is that the application name may be different (i.e. it's not TomTom Navigator but rather a German title). There's a relatively easy way to check.
First open TomTom.
Next, press the 'contacts' button.
From there, you should see the Windows Start Menu. Go to Windows Start -> Settings -> System -> Memory -> Running Programs.
There should be a list of the applications running. Do you see "TomTom Navigator" or something else?
Thanks
Justin
P.S. I think the code will work on non-english versions, but only the developer can really answer that.

The Name of TomTom Navigator is the same.
Also the SKSchema Program is in German of course :-(
Is there an other option in SKSchema I can test to see if this is working at all?
(I am waiting on a new english ROM from our IT department.)

You can experiment and create some "watch" functions/programs. I recommend that you use the program to create some test cases. Here's a link to their instructions on how to create watch programs (and scripts too):
http://s-k-tools.com/skschema/skschema.0409.htm
For example, when I learned how this program work, I created "test cases" in the watch section of the program. Some things you may want to try:
When a program is running (make it easy by using Contacts, Calendar, etc), play a sound.
Once you've created this "watch" script, SKScheMa will "watch" for the program to be launched and when I sees that it has been launched, it will continuously play a sound while the program is running.
Once you've sucessfully completed the sound test, you just start customizing it to your needs. For example, the next test may be to simulate pressing a key when the application is running. The simulation of pressing a key should prevent your device from locking. Using this test, you can see if your device still "locks" after 15 minutes.
Justin
P.S. I'm sorry you're having so much difficulty. If I can help you further (not that I've really helped you thus far), please let me know.

He no worries, I will have a look this weekend.
Many thanks.
Rogier

Unlocked device and updated to english ROM (finally).
Will test again.

simulating the pressing of the "enter" button now seems to work. COOL.
Will test with the other file now.
:-D

Ooooooo YES!!!!!
I am a Happy Man. This works now.
Seems the German Version of the Utility does not liked the script or so.
On an Englisch ROM all seems to work fine.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Rogier

Congrats....
I'm glad it worked out. I can't help but wonder....why does the language make a difference. I'm not a programmer so I guess I'll never know.
BTW, you can use SKTools to keep other programs open too. Let's say you want to keep your device alive while surfing the internet. You can develop a similar script for Pocket Internet Explorer/Opera/NetFront. I use it to keep alive TomTom and iGuidance. Take care. Justin

Thanks a lot for the tip.

--------------> IS there a program to auto switch on the device??

Does exist a program that switch on automatically the device??
Please, I need it...
Is someone developing something like this??
Or is there a way to make the pocket pc automatically switch on??
THANK YOU!!

I have already try with the original HTC alarm, but when the pocket pc is switched off (and I mean "shut down"), it doesn't switch on it....

Thank you....

If the device is "shut down" how should a program be able to run?

Your simple mobile phone if it is waking up on an alarm can't be off totally, more like in a standby state.
Why would you want to turn it fully off and then turn on at a predetermined time, surely leaving it on would be far more sensible.....?
No is a simple answer to your question and I seriously doubt if any of the developers we have here would even waste more than a second ruling it out...if it's off it's off.....if the screen is off it is in a quasi standby state...

I would be interested in the same thing
powering my phone off and on using schedule.
I had Nortel phone about 8 years ago that was able to do this.
Great feature.

I don't know exactly why a program like this doesn't exist...
Every mobile phone has this function, and you can also make your PC (yes, our desktop pc) start up at a setted hour.... and this is avaible also for mobile phones...
So why we don't improve this feature on our pocket pc??

So anyone has a solution??

try this
i don't use it anymore but if i remember correctly it does just what you are asking - it is in french but very simple to understand - someone had an english translation too - again if I'm not mistaking

I think I understand your problem, I can't see a solution. But have you considered buying a spare battery, higher capacity ones are available for most devices from ebay.

Try "Addin Timer 3", a free sortware!

I don't think if it's usefull or not to turn off the pocket pc every day, but I'm sure that if you make your device run everytime, for dayd and days, this isn't healthy for it......

I have to say I'm puzzled that no one is working on software like that ...
Anyway, I'm even having hard time to find software that will turn off
the phone on predetermined schedule. Most having only count down to shutdown

sorry can't help you...
all i have to say is you might like to try harder....

I have to say I tried it as well but find it a bit confusing
How do you make it run in the background ?
Is there any documentation for it ?
Thanks

Email, sms notifications...schedule ?

Hi, I have been searching for this for a few days now and cannot find anything.
is there a software out there that lets you schedule you notifications ?
i like my to hear a sound when I get new mail but I hate to wake me up in the middle of the night
thanks
my device: HTC TOUCH (VOGUE)

wow, can't believe tis is not in demand...I guess I'm weird...
anyone ?

if yes, that is not what I'm looking for...I need something that I can set and forget about.
anyone else ?

phonealarm has got scheduled profiles.

I also want something which can disable the sound of email notification at night - without all the other features - just simply configure so between specific hours, no audio notification is given.

I tried 3 different profile apps I found on this forum (with google search), and I found this one to work the best for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=353586
Hope it helps

For my setup, I only have active sync and windows live sync up to midnight and then from 7am in the morning.

Someone mentioned PhoneAlarm...there's also AlarmPal from the same site, which notifies you of an email/SMS/MMS/missed calls etc.. repeatedly until you do something about it (or as many times as you tell it to!); it has the option to define the time period - start and end - for when it should be active.
I used to use it on my Hermes, but have never gotten around to installing it on my Kaiser; I used to have it set to be active from 06:00 to 23:59 which worked well.
It's not free, but it's pretty darn cheap
Cheers,
Mark.

Lock/unlock

Hi guys
Can you help me!
Bad English, but I hope you understand.
I need a keylock to my phone.
So I can lock/unlock it. ( Like Iphone)
Its a problem when I have my phone in my pocket!
Anyone?
Thanks

The phone has one as standard.
If you want one like the iPhone, search for S2U2.

I guess you don't bother searching or reading, do you? There's a link on the developer's page saying "Read me first". If you click that then you'll find full instructions.

If you do not want to use 3rd party software, I suggest you use the built-in one.
Just hold the most right button a few seconds... (or read also the manual of the phone)

I also use this method, it is fine and I can preserve more power.
Before that, I also use S2U2, and I remove it after 1 day trail.
When I put the machine aside, HD will lock after 30s, then the screen will goes off in another 30s, the beautiful S2U2 screen saver will only survive for no more than 1 minutes.
When I pull the stylus out, it will automatically unlock, so I got no point to use S2U2......and most important, after using it, the battery goes very fast.
I have a full charge before sleep (100%), when I wake up in the next day, only 89% battery left......

I have also used S2U2 and had problem with the power leak but then switched to pocket shield which was great, I even wrote a post about it somwhere in this forum... but after some time with pocket shiel it showed 2 very annoying problems. One was that somehow it totally messed up my galarm application to the point it didn't ring the phone alarm at all (I was very pissed of). Since I am a good man I decided to give it one more chance so I uninstalled galarm and used standard windows alarm app... unforutnately this misworked same way- no alarm, this time i was smart enough to test it. Second thing was that pocket shield was messing start menu in my phone - making it disapear until restart, whenever appointment reminder would start...so this is why I dumped pocket shield and moved back to the simplest standard windows lock function

using s2u2, I like the feature, "keylock: do not lock buttons." I installed keylock.cab, but no effect. There is another way?
