Can anyone suggest some good profle software? i.e. to hold profiles of ring tone, ring volume etc for easy switching. Ideally, with either automated switching, or integration with the calendar app.. i.e. so that the phone will automatically go dead silent during a certain appointment if set, and will then return to previous settings when that appointment is over.
By automated I meant for example on monday, the hours of 10am-2pm, be on a certain profile, sometinhg along those lines.
Any suggestions please?
If I'm asking too much can anyone suggest any good profiling programs (preferably with today plugins)
Many thanks!
I use pocketzenphone.
Also phonealarm is a good one.
Here's what Pocket Zen Phone looks like on your PDA
It's the last item at the bottom
Not going to argue about this again with TheBrit, but I've always used PhoneAlarm. I suggest you try both PA and PZP if you're not using WM5.
PhoneAlarm can be assigned to a hardware key so you can switch profiles quickly with a shortcut or a hardware key.
For instance, I use phonealarm skinned and mapped to the top of my screen here:
and then have an additional bank of claunch icons hidden away to switch profile by thumb as required. Forgive the crude icons, it's an old pic.:

Simple request
Does anybody know of a simple utility that can incorporate Tasks into Pocket Outlook. Tasks then will be intergrated into the calander and will use the appointment screen to set a task. Also this utility should manage to display a full weeks appointments and task in sequence - not seperated.
Thanks in anticipation

There's a free today screen plugin that shows combined tasks and appointments...
http://tiews.info/index.php?show=software/todayagenda
I've given up on it for now but it seemed to work ok. Not as advanced as other plugins like PocketBreeze but much lower overhead associated with using it.
Have reverted back to standard plugins even though they are pretty pathetic since the plugin didn't seem to cope with orientation switching too well - an annoyance when using it with a device with a slide out landscape keyboard.
PocketBreeze for Me!!
I can't comment on TodayAgenda, as I've never tried it. I found it on these forums after purchasing PocketBreeze. But, from everything I've read about it on that thread, it's a very good program.
However, I WILL say that I LOVE PocketBreeze, and it would be virtually impossible (IMO) to find anything that even comes close. It does exactly what the OP wanted, plus more. It's the only plugin I use on my Today Screen, and it allows for Custom tabs to be set for other plugins, as well. So, I have iLauncher, Pocket Weather and Spb Time integrated into PB as custom tabs and from that can access virtually everything on my Wizard from the Today Screen through Pocket Breeze.
There's a 14 day free trial period, but I was sold on it after only 3 days and bought it. Others may have different views, but for me -- it's the BEST!!
I've use both todayAgenda and pocketbreeze. For the price of todayAgenda, there isnt really much to 'complain' about, other than the fact that, it doesn't display tomorrow as 'Tomorrow', which is quite annoying (that it lowered the importances of the task/schedule).
Anyway, I'm using pBreeze now and no complain so far. It is highly customizable which others may find annoying, but if you want to have full control on your display, go for it. I so wish I get commission for selling this software
Check new todayAgenda 0.95 beta and check spbDiary with better phone contacts handling (hardware keyboard) than pocketBreeze.
Thanks everybody.
TodayAgenda works well for me. Exactly what I wanted.

Hi all,
Since last monday I am also the proud owner of the touch pro from HTC.
It's certanly a big change coming from the wizard, I have 2 of them in case my new phone stops working.
But what I like to know is: is it possible to add more than 15 favs in the touchflo 3d interface?
Hope someone can help me
Request also
Same here, mate.
I would also like to see an unlimited amount of favorites in the Tflo3d contacts tab. It wouldn't be called favorites than anymore but just Contacts Tab!
See my pro's and con's with the Raphael, both hardware and software. This one you can add to the software list disadvantages.

Anyhow, if anybody has an idea, please write it here!

Anybody got back to you on this one. I will also like to add more favorites.
i'm 99% sure its not possible.
According to HTC manual, fifteen (15) is the maximum.
Though I am sure that someone will come up with a tweak
Fact of the matter is:
It's not possible with current version of TF3D. Not even a tweak or a registry setting.
Hopefully in a new update of TF3D or perhaps TouchXperience will have this capability!
We'll wait and see what happens, hoping developers will know about these user wishes.
Regards....
If you're going to have that many favorites, isn't that the same as WM Contacts app? Why even bother with Favorites?
Maybe you'll actually looking for call groups like how Nokia has them?
Nu,
I have about 200 contacts, 15 favorites of 200 wont cut it. At least give me 40. I dont expect unlimited, 200 favorites is just ridiculous and you are right on that one. But 15, I mean, I have more than 15 customers that I have to call, to go throught all contacts or voice command (which I have to repeat like 5 times before I give up). I am sure its just a variable somewhere with a fixed value that can be changed. I wish I could see that code behind it.
Yes, Lol is right.
15 fav's is just not enough. Your pathetic if you only have 15 dear friends and families.
I already have 15 best friends, no room for parents, brothers, other direct families and close collegues.
I believe if I speak to most off us, that, what we like to see is the Contacts tab showing just 15 fav's needs a complete makeover in where the user gets to choose he/she wants to have only XX number of fav's shown, OR the entire list of contacts, including some sort of alphabetic scrollbar on top.
TF3D is meant for quick usage of your most actions on a phone, like calling contacts, reading sms/email, browse photos, listen to music, select communications like BT, and quicklinks to programs. That's why TF3D has all these tabs, so you don't have to find your way through WM start menu. So now when trying to dial one, and go to contacts tab, and it's not in my fav's, then theres to much action needed to get the contact I want. (press more, scroll down etc.)
Like I said earlier, it should become a choice for users. Fav's or entire contacts list. And perhaps the 2 buttons left and right bottom corner could be like 'New contact' and right: 'Search contact'
It just an idea.
the developers making TouchXperience are in the right direction, I'm still waiting for their first release which is taking very long. They need to expand and let Beta users help them finish the product.
Regards

Need more
I am having the same problem. I was really put out when I was adding my contacts and the add a favorite option was gone. I hope someone comes up with a way around this. I unfortunately have no programing skills...much respect to those who do, you make my fuze sing
Hi folks,
I searched an hour and couldn't find anything: I want to be able to (easily) switch the today screen calendar to:
A) only show private meetings
B) show all meetings
The Nokia N70 does this nicely but I couldn't find any WM software to do the trick. I own a Nike with WM 6.1 btw.
The reason for my request is, that on weekens I would like to be spared with being reminded of meetings next week at the office - improving my work-life-balance ;-)
Anyone know of a solution?
Thanks & Best regards,

This is a wonderful option to be implemented into poutlook. I know you can filter your appointments by categories rather than by status.. so i assume that if you're willing to accept this it would not be that hard to write a quick script which switches between filters.
do you think that would be enough?
not sure - I would assume that the filter is not applied to the today screen, or is it? Also I use categories for other things already... But maybe I just got you wrong ;-)
Well, i assume that to filter to the today screen you'd need a seperate application... but i'm not sure.
The windows today plugin is indeed very basic with only few to no options.
You'll need a separate today plugin like SPB Diary or WebIS Pocket Informant.
I'm sure there are lits more.
Hi All.
Can any of the clever members mod the HTC SENSE Calender to allow 'tap and hold' of an entry to bring up the menu (eg. edit, delete) directly.... this will save a couple of clicks.
Cheers.
heh, that's EXACTLY what I would need to free myself form the old pocketoutlook calendar, and reactivate the calendar tab of manila.
If it stays like it is now, it's just useless eyecandy, not to mention how clicking on any empty day in week view doesn't bring you anywhere, while I would expect it to open the relevant day, even if empty.
Not to talk about day selection dialogue, if you are unlucky enough to need selecting a day, say, 10 years in the future or in the past (don't ask me why, it could happen) you need to pass throught 120 animations of scrolling months,pressing 120 times on the up/down arrows, instead of being able to directly select the year.
But I seriously doubt anyone will be able to change that part of manila..
even if its not the manila calendar, you may have a look at mvcal or download it from here

there's 2 problems with that... it's pay software and it has a initially complex interface. WHat I'm looking for is not really anything special, it should have been in the device already, and could be defined as either one of the following:
1) a vanilla pocket outlook retaining its current functions, but with a way more finger friendly interface
or
2) a manila calendar keeping the current interface, but with all the functions that the vanilla pocket outlook calendar has
Now, as I hear WM 6.5.5 has a finger friendlier interface (my custom rom is 6.5.2 based), I don't know if 6.5.5's pocket outlook has a different interface closer to what I need, I would like to have confirmations

Hi,
I came from the TP2 WinMo world. I miss PhoneAlarm. It was an all-in-one place where all relevant information was shown in a skinnable interface, it could be a simple toolbar or take over the entire screen.
Does anyone know any applications like that for Android.
The PhoneAlarm website is:
http://www.pocketmax.net/phonealarm.html
Thanks in advance.
I've used Phone Alarm a lot using my TP2. But more so only for the fact it has auto profiles so I didn't have to worry about putting my phone to silent when work started and when it ended.
I don't know a complete replacement that you can skin.
But if your just looking for the auto profiling (controlling - wifi, brightness,notifcations etc)
I use Timeriffic, free in the Market
