Database Develop

Title Bar Date

The date on the title bar of my today screen doesnt show up right and I'm wondering how to change it. For example, today's date shows up as "5/14/0" rather than 5/14 or 5/14/08.
How do I fix this? I think its a registry issue. Also, this problem isnt ROM-specific.

start settings system regional settings

Thanks for responding. I actually tried that but it doesnt really resolve the issue. For some reason, the title bar isnt allowing enough space for the date to complete. I'm thinking it must be a registry issue.

try to edit the registry:
HKLM\nls\overrides
edit the SSDte value to ddd, MMM dd, yyyy
note:
dd - date
ddd - day (i.e. Wed)
dddd - day (i.e. Wednesday)
MMM - Month
yyyy - Year
then restart
you can make it shorter if you don't write the yyyy
i think we dont need to know the year

True. I'm willing to do w/o the year. Its weird that the last digit wont show tho. I take it nobody else has that problem?

Request for testing Band Switching of CommMgrPro in Diamond[UPDATED 2008-09-12]

Hi.
I am solving the issues of CommMgrPro with Diamond. The most important were.
1) CMP didnt change the band correctly (2G <-> Auto <-> 3G)
2) CMP didnt set correctly the speaker volume.
Any help to see if those issues are gone in this version will be wellcome with free licenses
Version V2.2(2008-09-12)
1) There are towers on each country with same cell id. So now the primary key for Cell Mode will be CellID + LAC. CMP will convert your database so make a backup before and will fill the lac information each time it finds a cell with lac equals 0
2) Compatibility with HTC Touch Diamond and HTC Touch Pro (Fixed Band manager, speaker manager, GPS manager and some GUI changes).
3) New option to repair the database.
4) New page for connections option (In connections/menu/options)
5) Option to disable/enable connections on roaming
6) Option to CMP startup delayed on page Options 3.
7) Option to Show/Hide the main window after start CMP.
8) Clicking on the higher part of the battery bar opens the battery page
9) Clicking on the lower part of the battery bar opens the battery page
10) Hide button is raplaced by calendar button.
11) New Today tab. This dialog lets you see the next events that will happen in the place, including calendar events, "Always on" schedules and other events (time limits, etc)

Hello Daniel,
1) I can confirm that the band changes work correctly, 2G, 3G and Auto - including timed changes
2) I had my ring and system volume set to 40%, chose the Full Sound profile, but both levels stayed at 40%. Then went back to the Unknown profile, both volumes still at 40%. The Silent profile, however, did set both volumes correctly to 0%. On exit (back to Unknown), ring volume was set to 40% (what I started with) and system was set to 62% (I had 40%).
Does this answer your questions?

Ok, but dont use full sound profile. Instead use directly the speaker button of the main screen...
Attached latest beta....

You attached the QVGA version, the VGA version is needed for the Diamond, right?
Anyway, I tested with the 2.2b7 version you posted in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2597701&postcount=1955, and changing to Silent and Vibrate (and back to Normal) all work ok (original volume settings restored), but setting the different volumes i % does not work at all, they remain at my previous settings - both ring and system.

hehe, yes, its qvga, sorry.
So change system volume (ring volume isnt controlled) to 20%, 40% doesnt work in diamond, isnt it?, Its a pitty because It works on touch pro (and many devices). So there is one more difference between diamond and pro: the speaker management¡¡. I will try to get a diamond to test.
Thanks ¡

Just did another test (system at 20%), and none of the %-buttons change the volume at all. Vibrate and Silent/off both work, and the previous setting (20%) is restored after changing back to normal.
Just let me know when you have a new version ready and I'll retest this. Maybe some other Diamond owner can test this as well?

Yes, It would be nice if other users could check this issue. Its strange because all the Touch Pro users hasnt that issue and "theorically" both devices are the same....
The test is easy.
1) Click on speaker button, choose ON, choose No time limit, select 80%. Then click on the upper speaker system icon to check if the level is really at 80% (more or less).
2) Same with 20% or 40%...
Greetings.

Just followed you steps in the previous post, and what I did discover in my previous testing is a bug in Manila, not in CommMgrPro
I checked the system volume using the Settings/Sounds tab and then system volume, and it always remained at 20%. But after tapping the volume icon at the top (which was set correctly) and then checking the system volume using Settings/Sounds tab, the volume was set ok here as well.
So, to sum up, CommMgrPro does indeed set the system volume correctly on the Diamond!

il try it out on my diamond later on thx!!

Hi Dani,
So I've fiddled around with CommMgrPro for a few days and I’ve found a few bugs and even more requests for new functionality Here goes:
1) Ring volume not restored/set after profile ends (system volume is set ok)
2) Ring type “Ring” is not set correctly using the profiles, ring type “Other” is displayed. All the other ring types work ok.
3) Battery graph stops updating after a while, typically if let to run > 24 hrs. I have set a battery file of 100KB and refresh every 60 seconds
4) The application crashes a lot of the times, especially when playing around with the profiles. I have CommMgrPro installed in the ROM. I’m going to flash to a cooked ROM on a short time, I’ll install CommMgrPro as the first application, just to see if it’s the application itself or other programs that interfere
Over to the wish list
5) Should overwrite battery file when limit is reached
6) Detect if connected via activesync (pr sync partnership) and be able to set (profile)actions accordingly
7) Set how often, and when, activesync checks for mail pr profile
8) Set “Turn On/Off BT on incoming call” pr profile. Let the current “Turn On/Off BT on incoming call” on the Options2 page be an override profile settings option
9) “Intelligent cell mode” – associate all cells to the current profile. Great for recording cells to my “Work” profile, for example
10) Switch band using command line (just as BandSwitch) – maybe this is implemented already?
11) Switch profile using command line – so I can change profiles using programmable HW buttons ( I use AE Buttons Plus)
12) Programmable HW buttons
13) Change SMS, mail and reminder alerts – I would love to be able to turn on /off Vibrate for SMS-, email- and all the other configurable notifications the Diamond offer using the different profiles
14) Able to delete a profile action
15) Detect if the phone is laying on a flat surface or not, and set actions accordingly. This is my favorite I either have my phone laying on a flat surface or it’s in my hand while walking, or in the pocket of my pants – either while walking or sitting down. When I’m out walking I always use the Vibrate mode, but quickly change to normal Ring mode when I’m at the office/at home. What I would LOVE to see is for CommMgrPro to be able to detect if my phone is laying on a flat surface (+- x% which can be configured in the an Options page) or not. If you add an enter/exit “Tilted” / “Not tilted” mode somewhere, I can set my phone to vibrate when tilted (in my hand / pocket) and then switch automatically back to Normal ring mode when it’s laying flat on my desk. This of course applies to the ring mode, SMS-, email- and reminders notifications as well.
This turned out to be quite a list, but I hope you believe this will make the CommMgrPro an even more powerful application.
Enjoy your weekend!

wow rune. Good work¡¡
I take note about all this things. Most of them are very interesting and will be implemented. Only one question...
Crashes werent reported by users months ago and I didnt see it on my Touch Pro, so, when It happens again please send me a email ([email protected]) telling me what were you doing (which dialog, etc) and what kind of crash exactly. It will help me to simulate the situation and see what happens exactly.
Thanks again....

Hi.
I need to create a new release version to satisfy HTC dimaond/touch pro users because last official version didnt work corretly. So this version (2.2b9) will become Official 2.2 if no one reports a bug.
Version V2.2(2008-xx-xx)
1) There are towers on each country with same cell id. So now the primary key for Cell Mode will be CellID + LAC. CMP will convert your database so make a backup before and will fill the lac information each time it finds a cell with lac equals 0

Hi.
V2.2 ready.
Details and download on first post.

Hi.
A new beta is ready.
Version V2.3(2008-xx-xx)
1) Skin engine improvements.
2) Bug fixing related with phone-off action.
3) Better integration between CMP and HTC Touch Diamond/Pro. Current profile-schedule is shown in the main TouchFlo3D tab (Thanks to NLS). User can disable it on Options 3. See pictures
4) CMP is autorestarted automatically if other program kills it to avoid HTC task manager closes accidentally it. To close CMP just use menu/exit
5) Support for Samsung Omnia (240x400 devices).
Please send any bug, suggestion, etc. The new diamond skin will be ready very soon and It wil reduce the memory consuption in 50-70%.
Regards
Dani

[Q] 24 hour clock?

Hey there,
I just got my Topaz back from warranty as the digitizer was "broken".
They reinstalled a new ROM, which seems to be quite good for a stock ROM.
Anyhow, I went to Settings->Regional to change the clock to 24 hours (hate pm/am) and for some reason, it's all greyed out. As in, I cannot click it at all.
Any idea?

What's the value of:
HKLM\\nls\overrides\STFmt

'Hmm where can I check this HKLM\\nls\overrides\STFmt?

Through registry, using a registry editor.

h:mm:ss tt

Try to change it to:
HH:mm:ss

The 24 Hour thingy is now ticked in Settings, but it's still pm/am clock...

Have you made soft reset?

Yup, done a soft reset, still the same in Sense clock.

Have you deleted the "tt"?
Try also:
H:mm:ss

I've set it to hh:mm:ss and now it works.
Just, if for example the time is 08 in the morning, it won't display the 0. Yet, when it's after 12:00, as in 13:00, it will display fine.
Thanks for your answer.

Write "HH", not "hh" and delete "tt", if you haven't done it yet.

Use
hh:mm for 12Hours clock
HH:mm for 24Hours clock <-Case Sensitive
tt means AM/PM
H = No leading Zero (8:05)
HH = Leading Zero (08:05)
Registry Editor: here or here.

Different Location for weather and time change

Hi, lately my Hero changes my location for weather from Boise where I live to Berkley and then also move the time back 1 hour...like the GPS and location are screwed up. I have not done anything to my phone. Is there a way to correct this issue?

Just happened again...was set to Boise weather with a 10:12AM time, when I unlocked my phone, the weather refreshed which I have set for 1 hr intervals, and it changed to Berkley and the time changed to 9:12 AM. Its getting annoying

[HELP] Launch app on security lock screen

How launch app when screen is off and security lock? (I want the radio to wake me up) I try: 1. Secure settings --> Configuration:Screen & Keyboard Light On (10sek) 2. Wait 1sek 3. Show Scene --> Name: Popup ,Display As: Activity 4. launch App: "(in my case is "eskaGO" This task try launch this app but can't launch to the end. When Task is end nothing happened. But when I manually unlock screen and see what app work in background I see this app. It's look like this task try launche app but can't launch it to the end.
I try too with AutoLunch but is this same.
Can anybody help??

Can you use Smartlock to prevent your device from locking at home?

This not solves the problem. I don't need this only in home. I a lot travelling.
I try with secureTask plugin with off and on keyguard but this disable all securelock.

Well it sounds like the app just can't launch over the keyguard, so the task can't complete till the phone is unlocked. If you're comfortable with it, you can change the timeout (time it takes for the lock to be activated) to a really high number before you go to sleep, then after the app wakes you up, have it changed back to normal.

Thanks for solution but this not solve the problem. In Your idea every day before I go to sleep (when I activate alarm) I should count how many time screen should be unlock. I not everyday wake on this same time or it's time when I stay 1-2 weeks in this same place and wake up every day in this same time.
Every time when I set alarm I must count and set unlock screen Is not good idea.
Maybe somone else have Idea how to launch it?

which counting are you talking about? I think he meant setting the grace time of lock screen to something like 7*24 hours, that way even if screen is off, you don't really engage the lock.
This could be a security drawback and might affect your Moto display/Samsung Always screen on function if you have them.

OK maybe I something wrong understand.
Maybe You can write how I should configure this task? It will be very helpful to me
Now in task profile I set time to start and end my alarm task.

When the screen is turned off, it takes time to activate the keyguard/lock. Usually it's set to 1 second or less, so as soon as the display is off, the lockscreen is on. This can be changed (and in fact this is what Smart Lock does) so it won't activate as fast. Smart lock won't work in your conditions, so we can use Tasker plugins.
You need to get the plugin Secure Task if you are not rooted, Secure Settings if you are. Secure Task needs permissions granted in ADB, but the Help will explain the process.
Once you have it working, you can add the "secure settings" action for lockscreen timeout (see screenshots, it may be called something different on your device.)
There's a read action as well as write, you should read the initial value before changing it, save it, and restore it after the alarm goes off.
(In the Secure Settings plugin it's called Device Settings but other than that similar.)

Thanks for this
Now I undarstand that:
I have other profile where is task what will launch my app and where I set time to start this profile.
If I want that profile work - app launch correctly - I must before I go sleep launch other task (this what You wrote) what don't secure lock my screen.
Right? Did I understood correctly?

Yes, if you have a sleep profile, or if not, set it to activate at 2230 or whenever your bedtime is. The task will simply be Secure Task - secure settings - Read secure lockscreen_timeout (or whatever your device shows), so you can have a global variable of the typical timeout. Then Write secure lockscreen_timeout 99999999, as I posted in the screen shots.
And then have your wake up task activate at 7 or whenever, and then redo the lock timeout to the saved variable.

Ok,
But for example:
1. If I set this task to start 23:30 but since 23:10 i will not touch my phone this not work because screen still wil be secure lock ?
2. If I set this task to start earlier for ex. 21:00. On this time my phone is not protect if some one stole it and any one who get my phone will be have full access. Not always in this same time I will in the home.
Idea to solve my problem is good maybe someone else will need it.
For me is not good
It's not solve my problem
Maybe somone else have any idea how I can launch app when screen is secure lock

I don't know what happened because to March everything working in my phone. In March I musted do factory reset and launch app in secure screen stoped working ;/
Earlier I use to tasker autoinput plugin and was working , now it write that autoinput can't unlock screen :|
So maybe something was changed/app had update and to launch app in secure screen now is other plugin

hmm that's weird. You must have done/changed something. I don't think any app, especially Tasker has changed anything since then.

I know that that is weird. But I don't know what happened because I done nothing special. Just made a task and profile and that was working. Earlier when I changed Rom and restore task everthing work good. Now stop working and I dont know why :|
Better... When this stop working I had try allone and try searching solution.
I made task like this:
1. Secure Settings - Configuration: Screen & Keyboard Light 10sek
2. Status Bar Set Expanded
3. Launch App: eskaGO
4. Wait 10 sek
5. Autoinput Action - Configuration Type: Text Value: Tasker
6. Autoinput Global Action - Configuration Action: Home
And this WORKED! it worked but every second time. Exactly the second time.
Because I thinked that is problem with my phone I made factory reset one more time and this it stopped working completely.
So I don't want belive that so powerful app like Tasker where is so much plugin and a lot of people who very good know this aplication that no one find solution for this.

Sorry I still don't understand your explanation...
If I have it right, you are trying to make an alarm clock out of the radio app.
Here is what I did to implement this idea:
trigger:
- display off
task:
launch app: notepad
alert: beep
result:
as soon as the screen turns off, I heard the beep. When I turned on the screen, I saw notepad app in the foreground.
requirement:
you will need to add something to trigger this during screen off. That extra condition should not turn on the screen. If it does, you should re-consider this whole condition.
The fact that notepad is running in foreground after unlocking means that the task was carried out as intended. If you can run the radio app, the playing should be turned on automatically the moment the app starts, or error you will have radio app running without actually doing anything.
if all these fail, please post a screenshot of your profile, task and log.
good luck!

How about using Appcloner for this? You clone the app and give it the capability to run on to of the lock screen. That's it. Good luck.
