[Q] app ability to silence during meetings on calendar - G1 Apps and Games

Hey
The one thing I've missed the past 2 years of using my G1 since release that I haven't been able to replace yet is silencing the phone during meetings. On my old WinMo phone, the phone would go to vibrate during meetings on my outlook calendar, and I was just wondering if an app or setting for that ability has been created for the G1 yet. I have been too lazy to keep up with anything on my g1 recently, I had JF 1.5 for the longest time.... but anyways, if you guys know anything that replicates this, please tell me!
Thanks

guessing that android is still half the OS that Windows Mobile was? =(
just slicker and open source, so that all the moths get attracted to the bug zapper =(

nothing that can solve this problem?

Use tasker or locale with the plugin "Locale Calendar Plug-in", if I'm right about what you want and what these programs do.

I use Auto Task (Free) on my G1. Have a profile set to have it silent at the beginning of an event, and then restore at end.

Auto send/receive scheduler for email account

I have made a small (simple) tool for personal use. Maybe someone else want to use it too?
It schedules an 'send and receive' for an account (only Pop3). Just like in Microsoft Outlook (pc).
you must have .NET Compact Framework 2.0 (or higher) installed to make it work.
Have seen this already
Good work!
New version added, with status icon on the today screen.
Hows this any different from the scheduler you have built into Pocket Outlook?
It uses Pocket Outlook to 'send and receive'.
Thanks for the reply!
I'm still puzzled though....Pocket Outlook has a scheduler....how is this different? I am very interested as Pocket Outlook is having problems checking email when in sleep mode, so any advice/info you can give will really help
You can use the schedular in Pocket Outlook, in your account.But it's not that easy/fast to change it.
So my need for a new tool was created. Easy and fast to switch and shut down. And this is what it is.
Any thoughts on adding IMAP support to this?
Sorry for kicking this thread.
But this sounds like the exact tool I need!
Unfortunately it doesn't work on my s620 (wide screen) phone.
Maybe because the display dimensions are different... does anyone got this (or a similair) tool running on a s620?
Hi!
I am very interested by your application.
Could you tell how you schedule the send/receive event and how you make it happen?
My goal is to make the send/receive frequency lower than allowed by the WM6 outlook configuration (minimum 5 min).
This program works great as i like to get my emails every couple of mins or so (not the standard 5 min).. but the only problem ive found is that when the phones screen is off (on standby mode) the email notification does not come through..it only comes through if you have your phones screen turned on..
Is there or has there been a fix for this??
So i guess nothing?
I just need a program that will allow my email to send/receive more often than the standard time allowed (5 minutes)....

Yes, someone else reported that bug too. But I don't have the time to look about it. Maybe someone else??
I would love it if someone could fix this.. i have been looking for a program like this since ive had my phone.. if i knew how to do it i would attempt it myself.. please, if anyone has the time to try and fix this issue i would much appreciate it!
HI, I need sw that only activate send/receive when I run it.
Does anydody know for that kind of sw?

Tilt - Reminders going off as scheduled AND at time of appt

I did search first, and my problem isn't the normal "multiple alarms at one time"...The reminders are going off like they should AND at the time of appt (not normal). Anyone encounter this? Is that a system setting I accidentally changed?
Things I've done lately:
- Loaded Kaiser Tweaks, made some recommended changes.
- Loaded the Tilt Cab for SPB Mobile Shell (enables themes to work).
- Some appt. times were off an hour, so changed time zone back and forth.
- Loaded Chartcross GPS Test
- Loaded then removed the HTC Keyboard/Dialer Cab
I do us MemMaid all the time and remove duplicated entries...
I don't know if this is the reason for your issue, but Windows Mobile by default is suppose to play a reminder X min/hours before the start time (whatever you set) and then if you DO NOT "Dismiss" that reminder it will play again at the start time of the appointment.
Are you maybe not dismissing the first reminder?
Thanks for the reply - Yes, I am. I even made a Test Appt - for 10am, with a reminder of 15 minutes. It went off at 945am...I dismissed...all was quiet until 10am.
happens to me too
I have a tilt, and I'm running the latest tilt unreleased official rom from the upgrading forum here.
ROM Version: ATT rom aku 0.4.4 build 18128
Radio: 1.27.14.09
Same exact thing happens to me. This was also happening with the rom that came on the tilt originally. when I dismiss an appt, I get a notification at the time it is supposed to happen too.
I checked under notifications after dismissing one, and I did not see the appt. in the list. I did see "enrollnot" at the appt. time, but that was it.
I haven't looked too much through the registry for a switch to turn this off, but it is pretty annoying.
This is happening to me too. It's not really a big problem for me even though I use my appointments constantly for work. It's just a minor annoyance. A fix would be nice though.
Then I guess this behavior is normal now, and I didn't necessarily screw something up. Having used a WM device since 2001, I just never encountered that - and I just got the Tilt this week and assumed it was me since I couldn't find any forums reporting the "problem".
Thanks for the replies, and I agree - it would be nice to have a setting to allow this "feature" or turn it off.
This is especially annoying for birthday reminders. I have them set to remind me 7 hours before (i.e. 5pm the night before). Problem is that even though I dismiss the reminder, I get woken up at 12am since these are all day events. Ugghhh...

I have the same exact problem!
mine too and I'm using the original AT&T ROM...
Unless this is a new feature to WM6, I've never seen this happen on any other version of WM.
For those of you having this issue, do you have the following software running:
AlarmPal
AlarmToday
PhoneAlarm
or some other calendar or reminder enhancement app such as SPB Pocket Plus w/ Repeating Alarams addon installed?

I am experiencing the same thing, and I don't have any of the mentioned apps running. Nothing more than the built-in calendar and tasks, actually.
FIXED on my tilt
I compared the registry entries for the calendar between my tilt and 8525. I found some differences between them, and modified the tilt registry settings. this problem has now gone away for me. I think it was because of one of these bits under DEFAULTS in this key, but you never know.....
Here's what I changed:
old tilt with repeated reminders at appointment time:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\Reminder]
"DEFAULTS"=hex:1e,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,04,00,00,00,00,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,a0,44,03,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
"WAVEFILE"=""
new tilt today that does not repeat reminders:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\Reminder]
"DEFAULTS"=hex:1e,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,04,00,00,00,00,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,60,72,04,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
"WAVEFILE"=""
maybe someone with access to the WM6 manuals has the decode for this key.

FYI.... make sure to use the CODE tags when adding registry entries. Look carefully and you will find extra spaces in your post above. If someone were to copy/paste that code, they would get the extra spaces making the key not work properly. By adding the code tags, this won't happen.
HMMMM....fixed? maybe, maybe not
I think I had this happen again today, after a few days of no repeats I got one today. Not sure if this fixed it or not. YMMV.
I'm going to let it simmer a few more days and see if it was a fluke, or if it really didn't fix the issue.
I think it's a WM bug because mine will do this off and on. I've never really noticed it until this thread was started but I've kept my eye on it and I get one that's multiple one time, then the next notification won't be. No ryhme or reason to it.
I agree, seems to be sporadic.
I'm on the stock AT&T 1.60 Tilt ROM and thought this was consistantly happening for me. So yesterday, rather than doing the Snooze for 15 mins, I just hit dismiss. 30 mins later I realized it never went off again and I missed my meeting . So yeah, it doesn't seem to consistent...

Ford (Microsoft) Sync

I have a 2008 Ford Edge and an HTC Diamond (unlocked) and am trying to get the SMS feature to work with it. I installed JEtware and configured messages to show SMS and Gmail via bluetooth. Once I deleted the link on both the vehicle and the phone and then reinstated the partnership between them, the vehicle radio now shows SMS as an option but gives me the message "error while downloading" when I select the download button on my GPS/radio. It also errors out when I try to send a message from the GPS/radio screen.
I searched the forums and also tried to search Google but I haven't found the answer. Anyone figure this out?
i have got it,its a ford lol.
2008 ford edge.
i didnt think anyone would actually buy one of those things.
Thanks for the reply at least. You would think that Microsoft Sync and Microsoft WM6 would play nice together. I hope someone can help with this. With tens of thousands of vehicles equipped with Sync it amazes me how little information a google search turns up.
I too have MS Sync in my ford motor vehicle. I really wish some one at XDA would help us out with this as no one from MS or Ford have. I just wonder if there isn't some way to hook into the bluetooth so the sync system could read txt messages and emails. I actually have a Touch Pro but its very similar to the Diamond. Please anyone want to try and write a program to make this work? I will be happy to beta test it...
Ford Sync for Sony phones
From what i gathered all ford systems are Sony. And Sony has implemented some type of bluetooth file that allows text message over bluetooth. If you go to the sync website you will see only phones made by Sony work with text messaging..And they havent updated the list because all phones made in 2008-2009 do the basic features. People would start wondering why text feature still dosent work on a new phone. Marketing for sony.
Incorrect all Sync systems in Ford vehicles are Microsoft. The text option is not to do with your car but with your phone. You have changed a setting and disabled the download config file. You have to go through the phones code and switch the setting. I don't know how to do this. Hard-reset to manufacture setting and stop unlocking fooling with your phone unless you know what your doing.
People don't understand once you unlock/flash you're changing the phones settings those settings are needed for other processes. Sync depends on the phone itself if your phone is changed in any way the sync system will go into a safe mode and disable downloading from the device.

WOW if only you knew what you were talking about. The Microsoft Sync System in Ford cars has the capability to "read" back to the user text messages and emails, but ONLY WITH CERTAIN PHONES, AS STATED ABOVE SONY PHONES. its not because I flashed my phone and I don't know what the heck I'm doing. ITS BECAUSE THE PHONE ISN'T COMPATIBLE WITH THE SYSTEM. Everything else works fine, even with my little tiny brain I was able to sync my phone with my car and use it to make calls, Isn't that amazing? So thanks for trying to make us look stupid but please stick with topics that you are familiar with.
Oh YA and last time I checked MS makes Operating Systems not car stereos so some one else makes the radio (Sony most likely).

Yea this is very funny. I read this as soon as you pressed reply but since you where in far left field...Actually not even in the ballpark i thought i would give you a few days to digest what the guy above said.... I would actually tell you how bluetooth profiles work, as well as how Sony did contract to make all audio equipment for ford 2010 vehicles, and etc....But your responding to something i said so long ago , and your so not even close to knowing what your talking about plus the guy above has already roasted you. lmao "thanks guy above me"
Do we still have no progress on this?? Man I would love to have my Flex read my Texts.....
I haven't seen anything. My guess is its some sort of proprietary software that we can't have. It sucks and the Ford commercials are a little miss leading in that area.

New Diamond owner (from Kaiser)...customization HELP!

My kaiser recently died (after only 15 months of service) and now I'm the new owner of a Diamond (AT&T Fuze). I'm told this little thing has tons of potential...but first, I need it to do what I want! I tried not to bug anybody, but I've searched and searched, and only gotten more confused. So here goes:
1) Is there anything out there that will allow you to add more items (like more of your calendar entries via Calendar+) to the touchflo home screen? I looked, and at first I thought something called Manila was promising...then I realized that was the code-name for touchflo3d itself! And the customization progs I found were more concerned with the order of tabs than adding content to the home screen.
2) Is there any tweak you can make that will lock the device up AFTER you complete a call? This phone is driving me absolutely bonkers by mysteriously dialing someone right after I end a call (I'm pretty sure my case is partly to blame, but I need a fix for it). Everybody else seems to be concerned with keeping the screen ON during the call...I found a ton of discussions/tweaks for that.
3) Has anyone ever dreamed of substituting the Weather Channel for Accuweather in the feed for the weather updates? Just curious...I've never been a big fan of Accuweather...and no one seems to have thought of this either.
Those are my biggies for the moment...hopefully, you can see that I've looked...it's just that I haven't seemed to have made any headway. HELP!
...And Thanks.

Some tips for some apps/widgets :)

Hey yall pandaz! Ive hade my lovely 2X for 2 weeks and its great in most ways!
Its a couple of things I want help with and wondering about. First I wonder if there is a program similar to TodayAgenda for Android? A program that shows all the birthdays and calender things for a number of days forward. Heres a pic of how it looked on my old HTC Wizard
Another thing I wonder if there is a proper taskmanager? Im running Advanced Task Killer to kill of programs every 30mins to save battery but I want a real easy taskmanager that just opens up fast and shows all apps and let me kill them or switch to them in a smooth way, Ive been searching like crazy for this but havent found anything.
I also wonder if there is contact addon/manager that let me sort my contacts after Companys and Groups? Its driving me nuts to find my contacts since Im used to find them by sorting after Companys and Groups!
Would be really thankful for some help/tips and urls to similar programs here
