Create phone profile like on Nokia mobile...

Hi all,
I'd like to create and use some phone profile (outdoor, office, beeper, silent...) on my Jam!
Is there any good program?

Yeah, I don't have the URL, but do a web search for PocketZenPhone. It's awesome.

Try this.
Works fine on my MDAc
http://www.modaco.com/Latest_Version-t205779.html

Try this too: http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.htm
It basically what the other two software does but with more functions.

Hi, this util looks cool, can you confirm if it will work on my XDAII??

yeah I can confirm it! and this is a kill app!!!

PhoneAlarm works wonder, really a great tool.

PocketZenPhone
PocketZenPhone (http://zendrui.free.fr/index.htm)
It is the best. Install it as a tray icon (better than today plug-in)

I dont think so, I prefer the today plugin and besides profiles PhoneAlar m does so many more things like controlling BT and GPRS, showing SMS,MMs, EMAIL, VOICEMAIL and missed calls. PocketZenPhone may have the tray icon and I'd love to see that in PhoneAlarm but the interface of PZP is locking relly ... well crappy.

I like the possibility to choose my profile in PPCProfilesPro by using the keys instead of the stylus.
Big icons and also BT-Control.
But will give phoneAlarm a chance. We will see.....
Advantage of PPCProfilesPro: Free

That is very true. BUT using phonealarm you can use the keys to change profiles too! And it has BT control too besides WLAN can GPRS control. And it has built in data tracking and a billing option.
PPCProfilesPro is the free version and because of that will always have a huge plus but when it comes to functionality and style I think phonealarm is best. Would PPCProfilesPro cost too, it would be easy to favor phonealarm but since PPCProfilesPro is free this is tough.
It all comes down to your wallet, can you affort to spend a few bucks - then phonealarm is the better choice. If not, PPCProfilesPro will do fine.

PocketZenPhone for me
Having looked at the various options here, I chose PocketZenPhone, for three reasons:
1. Reasonable $7 registration price.
2. Can be set up as a tray icon, today plug-in, or both.
3. Integrated with Outlook. Now my phone will never go off during a meeting again. I simply set PocketZenPhone to turn off the sound and ringer whenever a calendar event occurs. Works great.
Note that I liked the tray icon so much that I didn't try the today plug-in.

Haven't seen any trial information (e.g. 5day full use or limited functions) for phoneAlarm?

I'm trying PhoneAlrm anc "Zen" but... too complex for what I need!
I'm just lookin' for a simple program that let me chose a profile (okay for today plugin or try or toolbar...) that impact only on phone ringin'/type level and PDA reminder/sms (I think these two levels are just what appairs when tap the symbol ov volume...)
I tried last version of PPCProfilePro but seems to lock my Jam.... :-(

Would you please describe this lock in your Jam?
Maybe I have the same problem and could so a have the chance to find the problem.

I have the same problem on my S100 with PPCProfiles Pro.
After installation and restart, my ppc hangs and I have to do an hard-reset!
Luky me, I have done a full backup before installation.
It's strange, because at the PpcProfiles support forum many people use this software with the same hardware.
At the end of the story, I choose PhoneAlarm instead PocketZenPhone, firstly for profile switching by keys, and secondly for better UI.

IIRC, It trials for 30 days. Both PZP and PA has their strengths...

I install the old PPCProfile-Pro V2.00c and it works fine!

U can read my problems in this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=28906
but 3 days ago a missed my PPCProfile Icons and I had to reinstall PPCProfile. From this my problem seemed to be solved.
(Knock.Knock.Knock on Wood...)
Thanks to Markino for your hint to identify the application which makes my problem!!!
@thehobbit78
The newest version of PPCProfile can change the profiles with the keys on the today screen as well.
Since yesterday I try both: PPCProfile and PhoneAlarm because i found no possibility to see the alarm icons AND all my profiles at the same time!

profiles

has anyone tested www.jgui.net phoneprofiles on qtek 9100?
is there another application to manage phone profiles on my qtek?
tnx

and pocket zen phone??

Many folks use PocketZenPhone or Phone Alarm.
I have always had problems with apps from JGUI.

pocketzen and phone alarm seem to be so much complicated

Well I'd recommend PocketZenPhone because of this great profile switching based on outlook switches.
Also, Photo Contacts PRO now provides this functionality to switch profiles (and a lot more, there's a trial available at their website).
I find that a combination of both these applications to work quite well and they both complement each other.
Cheers

I use PPC Profiles Pro. I tried PocketZenPhone but it seemed to slow much device down too much. PPC Profiles Pro is not as comprehensive as Zenphone but it's small, responsive and does what I need.

Functioned perfectly on my XDA II, did not function on my HTC Magician or Wizard.
Get ready for a Hard Reset.

If you want a light weight profile manager try win mobile apps phone profiles. http://www.winmobileapps.com/device/pocketpc/plt/plt.aspx

I looking for SW that can change profile automatically by hours of day

give pocketzen a go
the initial one didnt work, 5.5 i think it was... although it worked partially, the settings wouldnt so it was a bit pointless
then came out a newer release of the 5x series but ive not tried that... although i know many using it on the wizard
i myself started to use the very 6 beta 2 which worked great but wont be installing it until beta 3 comes out as theres a few niggles that do affect my phone such as bluetooth not turning on on incoming and volume minimum level being 1 not 0
once thats fixed its going back on... loved it while i used it
fully customisable and very easy to use
could do with a help menu for some of the items which i did not understand how to work with

yep, this one is nice, neat, light and free, however it does not provide such power as PZP which i personally use and recommend.

actually I own PZP as well but stopped using it a few months back [when I had WM2003SE] I haven't tried the newer versions for WM5 though.... maybe I'll get the new version when I've more time.

Phone Profiles

Hi,
Is it me or are there no Phone Profiles on the Ameo(or any other PocketPC phone)? This is my first PocketPC phone and before I used to have a Nokia phone which has Phone Profiles (for eg. silent, meeting, outdoor, etc.)
Is there a good application which can do this and works with the Ameo?
TIA

I think you may be correct in that there are no "built in" profiles in Windows mobile phone edition. I have just checked on my HP HW6915 ( running wm5) and the profile app I use is written for the phone by HP.
Maybe some other peps on the forum with other phones may be able to clarify more.

Phone Alarm for PPC/PE
No it's not a native feature of Pocket PC's in general, but there are applications that do the same thing and more.
Try Phonealarm by PocketMax. Link below.
http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html
Just make sure to download VGA specific skins.

Thanks!
I already installed it. Looks like this has it all for me. I'm going to try it the coming days.
It is still a bit strange that something like this isn't standard on the Ameo.

What are the best profile management app?

I use WM profiles and have tried phone weaver and spb phone suite but they seem to lack a bit in the actual "profile" dept. Sure you can have them go to flight mode and change your ringtone and volume and stuff but I need a little more than that.
I would like to be able to control everything pretty much in the notifications area with each profile change.
Example: To be able to change whether new emails will alert or not. Or, what reminder alert to use or if reminders repeat or not. It seems simple to pull all the info from the sounds/notifications settings at scheduled times or manually. But it may not be.
Just wondering if anyone has any input on this. A good profile application is very useful.

PhoneWeaver 1.02

Hi!
Try PhoneAlarm from pocketmax.net, I think you will find almost all options you can imagine for the profiles.

I find Photo Contacts PRO 5 (Automatic Profiles, Call Blocking, Distinctive Ringtones & SMS, Today Plugin) a number one and must have app.

Yep ive used phonealarm for a long time now, the best feature is the automatic progile change based on location/power status etc...

PhoneAlarm is certainly a champ, great software.
But if you just need Profiles, I have to say SBSH PhoneWeaver is great. Nice options, simple and light on resources. The enable/disable Push email is fantastic.
PhoneAlarm is nice if you also want repeating notifications and a Today plugin that displays counters and other info. I use rlToday for that so it was overkill for just profiles.

PocketZenPhone seems to be doing for me more than any other apps listed above.

agree 100% to moisha. I am using PocketZenPhone for years now. It is one of the software pieces I bought!

I bouhgt PZP one year ago. It was working very nice on my Wizard and on my Orbit (bouth WM5)
Since i´m using WM6 on my Orbit i have some problems.

PocketZenPhone is the one to go for
At least, that's my personal opinion. I've been using it for a few years now as well.
With regards to WM6, I've recently flashed my Charmer to WM6 and PZP is still working OK and without any problems.

Is there also any freeware tool available?

Yes, I have been using PhoneAlarm and it's pretty good too. Give it a try.
Think there's some free one out there. Do a check. Can't remember the name now.

I use Profiles for Windows Mobile ( h**p://www.winmobileapps.com/device/pocketpc/pwm/pwm.aspx )
Excellent piece of software . lightweight stable and flawless

[Req][App][Win 6.5]C(Spb Phone Suite)

hello
I am loving the profil manager in Phone Suit. And therefore I am wondering if its possible to make an plugin one the homescreen, showing the profils?
And if so, can some one help me, making it?

Please help me!
please help me, any answer is a good answer.

its not imposible but i think that not everyone in into the SPB applications now....
soo u need to wait and see for furthur update of it...

I replaced a lot of the SPB Phone Suite using these three plugins:
CVolume
CComm
AT Favorite People

the most important application in phone suite is the profile manager (there you can manage the sound level), it is made a widget to the profile manager, in the spb mobile shell. Is it possible to use this widget in some kind of way in the today screen?

Is it possible to make a titanium plugin out of a widget form SPB Mobile Shell 3?

I too was bummed to find out that Phone Suite doesn't play nicely with 6.5, but have since resolved this using ageye's G-Profile. It seems to work just fine with 6.5, and has a bit more flexibility than Phone Suite. Just map the QuickSwitch to one of your CLauncher slots. Not as smooth as a native Titanium plugin but it'll do for now.

hmm..we have a panel for volume profiles
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512529

The thing is that you can't switch profiles automatically with CVolume, using ex. time rules(between 11pm and 12pm use loud profile, and between 12pm-2am use silent profile).
