JBAssistant 0.1 (yet another assistant tool...:)

Hi, i would like to share a little app i made. I use my QTEK for work. I like having ringtones but i was tired to have to switch off volume every time i start a meeting. I also want to be able to reply missed calls with SMS only to some people. And i also want to made my own app :
Features:
- App detect if are "busy" or "free" based on the appointments schedule.
- App can silent or set to vibrate the phone when start a meeting and restore sound when meeting ends.
- App can reply missed calls (on "busy" mode) with custom SMS and it has nice options to configure who will receibe the SMS....
Known Bugs:
1- App will start on every reboot (that´s ok), and show the main screen (just put it on background).
2- App will change ringer mode (silence, vibrate,ringtone on) but will not update default upper right volume icon.
Hope someone find this app usefull too.....Any comments will be appreciate...
I only tested it on WM6. I think it should works fine on WM5, can any one try it there?
You will need NETCF 2 before installing my app (check it, may be you already have it):

Español: http://rapidshare.com/files/25370561/JBAssistant_0.5_-_ES.CAB
Version 0.5:
- App will now apply settings also to sms and voicemail.
- App saves settings when enters busy mode, and restore them when going to free mode.
If u have for example this setup:
PDA Settings:
- Phone Ring
- Text Message Vibrate
JBAssistant Settings:
- Silence Phone checked
Behaviour will be:
On Busy Mode:
- Incoming Phone calls and Text Messages will not ring or vibrate.
On Free Mode:
- Incoming calls will ring and text messages will vibrate.
- On free mode, "ringer:" will be "PDA Settings" to better comunicate current setttings for text, phone and voicemail.
- When exit the application on "busy mode" phone, voice and text sound settings will be restore to PDA settings saved before entering "busy mode".
- Note: Application saves your current settings before entering busy mode and restore them when entering free mode. Because of that, you can freely change settings when application is in free mode, but if you do it when application is on busy mode, settings will be reverted to the original values (those before entering busy mode) when entering free mode. World can't be perfect and you are busy, don't loose time playing with phone settings ....
Version 0.4:
- fixed a bug introduced in verison 0.3 when restoring sound after a meeting ends.
Version 0.3:
- Added option to ignore meetings with "free" status
- Icon on trybar when app is running.
- New (and nicer) application icon.

Sounds good, any chance your going to make it so that when your device boots up the default screen doesn't appear? I know it's not a big deal, but it annoys the hell out of me.
Anyways thanks!

yes!! next release (maybe tomorrow) will fix that and i also will add an option to not to detect as busy when you create a meeting with "status Free"....
if u have any suggestion for new features just post it pls...
thanks!

Will do since I'm really interested in this, but at the moment my brain is so tired I'm surprised I actually know how to spell

Version 0.3
Updated first post with version 0.3. Sorry i can't (yet) found the way to hide the main screen at startup (yes..i also think it was an easy task ..not on CF2

thanks!

new 0.5 version...lucky man you don't have a busy month!! you can imagine mine..

I'm embarrased to say I can't get it to install, I have .NET and everything, but as soon as I click on the cab file it just says that installation was unsuccesful. Well I'll double check it might just be me acting like an idiot

great stopwatch/countdown timer program

hey guys, i've been looking for a stopwatch/timer program for my tilt for a while, and finally found a great free program.
credit goes to frankyB over at howardforums

Thanks, ive also been looking for something like this so i can use it to count down my time left on my Tacho.
Problem is, when its done, the alarm is too quiet. Would you be able to ask on the forum if he could make a configurable alarm sound so i could choose my own sound for example.
Also if you could make the count down time in full screen would be great.
Obviously all this is if you get the chance. Dont worry if you dont
Thanks for posting though, still useful.

I found if you hold stylus on the white part you get a menu that pops up. It allows you to set the stopwatch color (of the digits) and change the alarm. Those it seems the alarm sound has to be a windows media format. the only other option I had from my device was the dogbark file.
It limited but something.

Any chance on getting a screenshot of this app at all?

just thought I'd mention, it's a nice looking App, but doesn't wake the device from standby, works well though.
Paul

Thank you very much.

StopTime
I'll put a shout out for StopTime!
http://home.comcast.net/~jonsachs/#StopTime 2.0
It's free, and you can use any sound you want for the alarm (I think)

Has anyone used this successfully? DOES IT wake up the device when it is off?
Finally, the first post leads to a page that doesn't exist. Is this the same as Jonathan Sach's StopTime?

SPBTime is great!!! Try it.

Me. I use WM 6.1 with this soft flawlessly. It keeps counting properly after Off-on or Sleep-on.

I'm looking for something where I can configure an alarm every 30 seconds or so. Anyone know of anything, I want functionality similar to the stopwatch Timer '08 for my Mac.

problems with Stopwatch
I downloaded the Stopwatch cab to my Fuze and found several problems.
1. It only goes to the second. Not much use for timing laps on the track, etc.
2. The Start/Stop button was partially covered by the Reset button.

Cool apps. Thanks!

has anyone seen something similar that also sits on the today screen?
I'm off on a holiday in 3 months and want to know how many days till I go just by looking at my phone (without opening a program hence the today screen) I have searched the forums for a few weeks but haven't found anything yet (but that could just be my searching technique!!).
ideally to fit WVGA screen size

[FIX]Time zone problem [Not sure if it works]

Ok I've seen through some threads that there is a problem with the Time showing on Manila clock.
I use this kind of trick but I'm not sure if it'll work for you guys.
1) Go in manila clock, right softkey and choose "Local Time Settings".
2) Settings tab, left softkey "All settings" and go under System then open Clock & Alarms.
3) When you reach "Clock & Alarms", click on "Time" tab in the lower part and you should see that the "Home clock" is set to something like GMT +1 Cent Africa or something like that.
4) From here choose again your local time settings and click ok.
5) We are done, it always worked for me and I hope I managed to solve some problem out there

clock problem
This is all very well, but as soon as you sync with your pc, it puts the time back to the incorrect time.
I'm in the UK, and right now we are in BST (British Summer Time) which is forward by one hour, but the device has a bug that always puts it back to the non BST.
This is so frustrating, i think someone in another thread has found a way of changing the time in the manilla code by advanceing the time by 60 mins, but then this is a temp fix becasue again you need to change it when the BST time is changed in OCtober.

Doesnt work!
Here's a definative fix for the region, just unpack and copy applicable file to Windows folder.
Temp fix for GMT+10 Sydney and Melbourne

You could disable time synchronization in ActiveSync, then it shouldn't be set to the incorrect time on sync.

Solution here works for me.

This worked for me. When you open the clock it still shows the incorrect time in the World Clock tab (here only). But it no longer changes the time on the main screen, and alarms still work.
I do not sync with a 'home' computer directly though, I only use the exchange server through google. So I don't know if that will still cause problems with others.

One thing that worked for me even if i connect to activesync it stills stay in the correct time is like i´ve said in this post.
Since that i haven´t got any trouble.

By "Force" do you just mean add the extra hour to the system time? (didn't really sound like it, but thought I would check) Or just change it back to the correct time? I tried that and never worked for me (second option). maybe your ROM already has the "Local Time Settings" reg key set.

in clock & alarms i didn´t change the GMT.
I simple add one hour in the time and pressed OK. It gave some kind of warning.. (don´t remeber what was) and till now i dont have any problem with the time. Although in world clock says 23:10(local) in today screen i have 0:10.

OK. I found a solution:
I'll include pictures to help everyone here:
1. Sync your phone with Windows and you should see something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2.Now Right click on "Windows PC" (bove the Favorites)
3.Click settings
4. Uncheck that damn box where it says "Sync...time and date upon connecting"
Now click OK and you should be good to go.

In spite of the commenst to the contrary, this works.
You've got to take the raindance approach "Move like this." and execute the 5 steps literally.
I tried syncing immediately and tried again after soft-reset. My timezone+summertime is finally respected.

Refresh - Refreshes the Text. If it says 'V2 selected', for example, pressing this will change it back to show which version you are currently running.
Restart Media - Button to restart the mediaserver manually. Not really needed, but might come in useful.
Reboot - Reboots phone
Exit - Exits the application
Make and Restore Backup - Does what it says on the tin
Push - Go to...
...Push Menu!
Yes - Pushes selected version WITH the Headset Boost
No - Pushes selected version WITHOUT the Headset Boost
Cancel - Returns to the main screen.
App is available on the android market, is currently at version 2.2, and costs £1.50.
I am also planning to create a 'lite' version which will have limited functionality, if i have the time!
Check my signature for a link to the cyrket page!

great cant wait whats the eta i love your app

Should be done within the next few days, tomorrow if i get my act together
Had a day off from uni today so i got all the coding, GUI and everything else pretty much done. There's a few bugs to iron out, like the reboot button not responding correctly and there's a problem with pushing the files when the headsets plugged in thats a bit irritating and i can't seem to fix, but other than that everything's fully completed

cool dont rush it man you do an awesome job

Thanks to your app my phone is louder than my friends T-Mo HTC Touch Pro2's speaker mode, awesome!

V2.2 is completely finished!!
Currently testing for any major bugs that may be present, so if you wish to test (and ultimately receive a free copy ) please contact me.
Please note, not everyone will be chosen to test the app as i've had a lot of requests.

Cool.
Is an EQ app still on the horizon ? You said you were going on Vacay when I asked. Didnt follow up much so not sure if it was bypassed.

Sort of/maybe. it depends if we can get the new labeled audiopara working properly
And it's on the market now people, go download

love the new version, it seems like the headset booster even works over bluetooth. I did find one bug that most people probably wont even notice because i wouldnt have if i didnt have my keyboard open when I opened the app. If you slide open the screen the welcome message will pop up again and also a message saying "all back ups have been made successfully and then another message saying "app refreshed". It will keep happening every time you open and close the screen. Not a major bug but figured I would let you know. Keep up the great work!

Yeah, i know about the orientation bug, it will be fixed for v2.3.
Glad you like it, and i may be close to making an actual Bluetooth Volume hack that doesn't almost break the phone like the last one lol ><

[APP] Membrain Recorder-[R]-04/04/11-[V]-0.9 (BETA)

Name: Membrain Audio Recorder
Description:
Hey guys, this is my first foray into Windows Phone app development. This program originally debuted at the PennApps Mobile competition at the University of Pennsylvania. A lot of people thought it was a very neat concept so my partner and I decided to put it on the marketplace in case anybody finds it useful.
Membrain is a “smart” audio recorder application which only saves what you want it to hear. It offers two main advantages to the competition: the addition of a "set and forget" mode, and the ability to sync your files to your Dropbox account.
Membrain works by taking calibrating to the ambient audio level and only recording when it detects noise above that threshold. It’s perfect for times when you don’t have the ability to repeatedly press the stop and record button. For example, just set it before you go to bed, place your phone next to your bed, and listen to anything you said in your sleep the next morning!
Even better: if you ever need to move these recordings from off your phone, Dropbox integration is provided for uploading your recordings.
To use it, simply press the "listen" button (the ear) and let the program calibrate to the current noise level. Then, press the listen button again and you're good to go. There will be a red circle next to the volume bar if the noise level goes above the threshold to indicate that the app is currently recording. Hit stop when you want the listening to end. If you upload a file and don't find it in your dropbox account folder, try pressing the button again (we're currently working to track down why this happens).

Thanks for the heads up bennyj71. The link was working last night but it seems like there's something going on with our app listing in the marketplace. I'm going to see if I can fix it, but in the meantime, if you search "membrain app" on your phone, it should be the first result that comes up.

I got it. Tried the app last night. Doesn't seem to work under lock screen though.

Thanks for the feedback benny. I just tested the app and unfortunately I can't seem to reproduce your issue. If it's not too much trouble, could you describe how you noticed the recording under the lock screen wasn't working, and what kind of phone do you have?
Thank you!

I started recording. The screen timed out. I kept talking. Once I finished I turned on the screen. When I replayed the recording, nothing I said when the screen timed out was recorded. I've tried three other recording apps. They had this issue as well, it was fixed in various updates.

Thanks so much for the info! Yep, I had the exact same issue when I let the screen timeout. In addition to fixing the dropbox indicator, I'll tackle this problem for the next update. In the meantime, if you manually hit the "lock screen" button, the recorder should stay active.
(PS: Sorry for the late response, was at a hackathon this weekend and didn't have much time to check the boards.)

No Problem. I'll try the lock screen.

Hmm like the idea ... any app like this for WM 6.5.x?

Love the look of this app, shame i use android...

Downloaded this yesterday. Recorded fine, but can't upload to DropBox. The app says it's logged in to DropBox OK. When uploading, the progress bar flashes up very briefly and nothing appears in DropBox. Checked in the DropBox site and Membrain is appearing as a fully authorised app. Any ideas?!?!
Could do with getting this file off the phone somehow :s
