Hello Everyone and welcome to the first program I provide to the community!
As we all know, a constant bluetooth connection drains your battery quickly.
Now what I've done here is a program, that toggles BT-Radio unter certain conditions
You can (at the moment) choose:
Enable BT when a call comes in
Enable BT when you place a call
Enable BT whe the phone is charging
If a condition is no longer valid, BT will be switched off, i.e. if you end
your call, BT Radio will be disabled again.
Requirements:-NET CF 3.5
Usage: Choose your options and select 'run and hide' from the menu.
This has got a hard coded smart minimize, as the program needs to run in background.
Settings are saved as you make them, there's no save button.
Please bear in mind, this is BETA.
It works for me so far and I hope for willing testers, so any suggestions for further
functionality or bug reports are welcome!
I've posted it under Blackstone because that's the device it's been developed and tested with.
Anyone who wants to install on a different device is fine with me, and as soon as it's stable I'll
post it on general level.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Thomas
P.S.: Pleeeeze don't call it 'App'
Important:
This programm will only work with devices that implement the MS-Bluetooth stack (such as the blackstone).
Widcomm driven devices (HD2 or HD Mini) will not work!
As soon as I find a decent way, to control the Widcomm stack from C#, I'll provide a version for this.
Changelog / Bugs
20/03/2010
BT switched off after a few sec on incomming call - FIXED
26/03/2010
BT stopped, when charging was completed - FIXED
Code for Charging detection was completely rewritten
BT stopped after a few seconds on outgoing call - FIXED
BT switches on late on outgoing call. Improved (not sure if I can get that any faster ).
Basic functions should be fine now.
Added function to permanently disable BT below a choosable Battery level (this is totally untested...).
The GUI has changed slightly (I'll sort out a propper GUI later).
XML settings file has been moved to application directory
background thread speeded up considerably (prog. still shows up with 0,0% CPU when running in B/G.
Found a tester with a touch diamond
31/03/2010
Build in debug option added
how to use it:
In the applications directory open the file BtProfilerSettings.xml with a suitable editor.
Somewhere in the settings node add the following line: <WriteLog>X</WriteLog>
Restart the program.
In your device's root directory you'll find a trace file per day, named '3132010BTProfiler_Debug.txt' (thats the one for today)
Please note, that entries are not necessarily in the exact order, as there are 2 separate threads, one dealing with System events and one polling data every second. Thats why entries may even occur twice.
01/04/2010
Code for BT Radio control rewritten, now uses direct P/I invoke instead of MS Shared Sources dll. Seems to be a lot quicker in enabling BT
08/04/2010
New version uploaded.
New functions:
Option to enable BT in discoverable mode
Enable BT for 60 seconds
Enable BT permanently
GUI changed to black (as this is BLACKstone...not Greystone )
I refrained from creating a fancy new GUI in order to keep the footprint in Memory small.
It is still beta, but apart from the HD2 issue we're getting somewhere.
enjoy!
Wishlist / ToDo
Option to enable BT for 60 seconds manually (for file transfer or other purposes) - DONE
Option to enable BT when the Dialer shows up to reduce response time on outgoing calls (not sure if this is still required..).
Scheduler to enable / disable BT.
Separate GUI from Worker Thread to get rid of the smart minimize and enable Autostart option (WIP).
It looks very useful to me, as I use HD with BT handset.
I will test it and let you know how it works for me.
Thanks!
EDIT: Quick Report:
At first call-in, it turns ON BT and handset correctly, but if I let the phone ring, it closes the BT after a few seconds. After that, in second call it does nothing.
At a call out, it does nothing (BT remains closed).
Thanks for testing and your patience!
The first issue was a bug (switching BT off after a few secs), fixed in the cab. Please uninstall and reinstall.
Second issue looks like the program was closed.
Whenever you bring it up, please make sure you use the 'run and hide' button from the menu, to send it to background properly.
Cheers,
Thomas
Tested new cab:
Incoming call works all the time, but it has two little problems:
1st. Since first ring until BT handset is ON, there is a delay of about 10-14
secs
2nd. After BT handset is ON, the ringing is passed only to the handset and
the device speaker is silent
At outgoing call, BT Profiler still not working (it is running in the background)
A step forward at least
The time it takes until a call is being transfered to the headset is something I can't influence and I think, that depends on the combination Phone/handsfree.
All I do (at the moment) is switching BT-radio on/off.
Second issue must be some setting I think. With my Jabra handsfree as well as my car kit the phone still rings. The software does not touch any settings.
Outgoing call works with me, but I admit, the delay until BT is switched on is a bit to long, which results from the event being fired a late.
For this one, I'll try to catch a different (earlier) event, which I already identified but this will be not before next week.
Agian, thanks a lot for your effort. I'll keep on developing this thing until it works as desired.
Please be patiend with me, I'm working in dev for some 20 Years now, but I'm just developing my skills in doing smart device software.
Cheers,
Thomas
I'll test this tool on my HD2. By accident I found your thread, hope I'll make more accidents like this! I will focus solely on turning bluetooth automatically on on USB connect (since thats the only time I use it).
edit: It doesn't seem to turn on bluetooth when I connect my USB cable and phone begins to charge.
Did you check, if the program ran in background?
Switching on BT when charging was my main focus bevor I started developing the program.
However, there will be a new version withing tihs week, fixing some bugs with the eventhandlers, so you may give it another try then

Np. Take your time.
New version is up
Please make sure to read the notes in post #2.
Sorry it took a while, but I had to rewrite the charging portion of the program. the managed libraries are not very good in power line detection, so I had to dig into API.
I tested it again. On incoming call it doesnt turn on bluetooth. On charging it doesnt turn on bluetooth. Maybe the way the Leo works is completely different from HD? Or could it be problem i hooked it up to my pc usb, instead of just a charger?
Umm....the current version is running on my HD as well as on a workmates Diamond since Friday and it behaves well, although the time gap before BT is switched on on outgoing as well as incomming calls is still to long (I'm looking for a solution).
This version should recognize USB PC as well as chargers of different kinds (actually tested with Motorola USB charger in my car and different USB Chargers) as long as they provide power, regardless of the battery state.
My HD is not on Stock ROM, but on an Energy ROM, so its 6.5, same as yours.
At the moment I'm working on a version, that can provide debug information in a tracefile, that's probably what we need to sort out why it's not working on your phone.
Hopefully that version will be up tomorrow.
For the time being:
Have you checked (Task manager) that the program still runs in background?
(silly question you got .NET CF 3.5 installed?
Thanks 4 your patience!
Well, its not really about patience. I mean, it's your tool, take whatever time you need. Since I'm using EnergyROM, I've got .NET installed aswell. Having a debug option is a good idea, maybe there's something I did with my phone (I've tried multiple bluetooth solutions to turn on bluetooth on charger-connect before, KixAss Bluepower for example) that causes your tool not to work.
For the time being debug should point us to the right direction. I will be flashing my Lep with new energy when GTX theme from ElCondor is released, NRG cooks it in his rom with Cookie, and I dont see any bug reports anymore (so I think that won't happen in 2 weeks..)
well, if I provide software, it should better work
Debug Version is up, HowTo in post #2.
Code:
13:46:58 App. startup, using settings:
13:46:58 OnChargingX
13:46:58 OnIncommingX
13:46:58 OnOutgoingX
13:46:58 OnBattLow Perc0
13:47:03 Charging finished
13:47:34 BT switched on

13:49:49 Charging finished
13:50:01 Device cradled
13:50:15 BT switched on
13:50:45 BT switched on
But, Bluetooth is not turned on. I also tried to actually look for my phone using a collegue's phone, but it just doesnt pop up on his display untill i manually turn BT on on my phone.
that looks like the HD2 simply is not responding to the BTon request, which I find a bit strange.
I reckon, Bluepower did not work for you either?
However, I've emailed the developer of Bluepower to check if he's willing to share his sourcecode with me.
Bottom line seems to be that I have to look for a different implementation to control BT Radio in Order to make it work on the HD2.
Bluepower didnt work for me neither, that's why was so happy initially to find your topic I've emailed the developer of bluepower over a month ago, no response so far.
Happy youre active!
I reckon he uses the same API as I do. Got no reply so far either.
Shame I don't have an HD2 but I'll see if I can find something in the API doc.
If BT Radio can be controlled by software, I should be able to find it.
Somewhere in the hardware interface layer I guess, as my ROM is based on Leo as well.
I'm starting a project that will automatically solve a tilt-maze (Teeter, for instance) on the Touch Pro 2. Since WM programming is a bit new to me, I'm looking for suggestions and advice on how to deal with some of the development issues.
Here are some details of the intended design/process:
- Open the maze program and lay the phone down on a tilting table
- The program reports the ball position within the maze as X-Y coordinates over bluetooth serial port
- A microcontroller with a bluetooth modem receives the data and determines the desired ball direction using a state-machine/path-planning approach
- The microcontroller uses a gravity-rolling model of the ball dynamics to determine the required tilt angle to move the ball along the desired path
- The microcontroller commands two R/C servos to tilt the table in pitch and roll, tilting the phone and causing the ball to move
- The phone updates the controller with the new position and the loop repeats
Alternatively, the phone itself could compute the control law and simply send servo commands to the MCU. Either way, I love the idea (irony?) that the phone generates commands that move itself to solve a maze on itself.
Much of the hardware work is already done. I built an M&M dispenser maze last year that is a robotic implementation of Teeter/Labyrinth.
Search "Office Maze" on YouTube, video 'kUqRcLjFOUc'
We were/are working on getting computer vision to recognize the position of the M&M within the maze and have it automatically solve itself. For now, I like the idea of solving the maze autonomously on the phone.
I've made a basic app for the TP2 that moves a ball around the screen via button interface, but I am still struggling with access to the accelerometer data. I also have had no luck sending data over the bluetooth serial port.
I've read many useful articles and threads, but so far have not been able to implement these functions. Any suggestions on references or example code that describe how to do either?
Hey, i just got my dell venue pro today and was finally able to try out my app i created!
I added it to the market on the 15th of oct and it received poor reviews from the guys in the UK (not sure why).
Using it on the dell and it works great.
Anyway i was wondering if you guys could give it a try and give a review of what you thought.
My app is in the Health Fitness section and it is called My Workout.
Description:
It is a handy app that allows you to save your workout routines to an easy to access and easy to read schedule. My app also has a stopwatch and 1 rep max calculator.
It doesn't keep track of workouts, nor does it have any pre-loaded. This was created to allow gym savvy people (anyone who's worked out before) to digitally have their workout routine with them at the gym (i use my phone for music) to replace paper.
Video of app:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVoqy0xYmNg
* BUGS/ FEATURES NOTICED SINCE USING ON REAL DEVICE***
1. The lock screen wipes out any in progress routine that you were entering. Same with stopwatch.. If you are running the stopwatch and the screen locks, the stopwatch will reset. ( will fix with new lock screen guidelines that were just released)
2. I need to make the return key allow for the exercise to be added to your list instead of always hitting the add button.
Discovered that new users to windows phone 7 are oblivious to pivot controls and they love hitting return to enter data. WILL fix the return bug, the pivot control is essential to the metro ui. Cant change that.
* End bugs/features**
If you guys find anything let me know!
Thanks,
Blake
do not mean to hijack this thread but does the venue pro have a sd card slot? if it does it will be the phone i get.
I have nothing to test it on, but I do think the timer should have milliseconds as well.
the dell venue pro does NOT have a sd card slot.
Nice app, wish I had it when I was in the gym.
It's simple and straight to the point. Good to keep up with your routines.
Micro I just tested it in my HD7. Very nice app. I don't go to the Gym. (Too many posers there). Instead I ride my mountain bike and go swimming. Still your app will come in handy to many.
I've just written a brief review on Marketplace and given it 5 stars- user name jfsfoster.
Looks solid, I have two issues, but they're just aesthetic. The flexed arm doesn't really fit in too well with the default icons. I know, silly gripe, but it caught my eye. I'd try something more low key. Such as a round weight.
Remove the white border around Start/Stop and Reset and remove the speedometer graphic. It will fit better with the WP7 look.
These are just my opinions. The actual usefulness of it looks great and I will be downloading it once I find a Venue Pro.
After having friends use the app for the first time (first time wp7 users as well)
The most common problems were:
1. Unable to figure out that the navigation is pivot.
2. Why hitting return doesn't add exercises to the list.
I cant do anything about #1
However i have made some significant changes to how the textbox entry is maintained and have fixed some major bugs:
Disabled the lock screen from enabling via phone idle (microsoft wont like that i bet..) - Had to do it, if you are half way entering data and you set the phone down for 30 seconds it locks and then guess what, NO MORE DATA, you have to start over if you haven't finished the routine.
Allowed for the return (enter) key to add exercises to the list.
fixed misc bugs.
Version 1.4 look for it in about 2 days.
what do you mean navigation is pivot? as in, how they have to slide left/right? people just have to get use to that with the phone, it's not your fault. if they owned the phone, after a couple of days use they would work it out and it would be natural.
what do you mean no more data? i thought the new guidelines said the app could stay alive even if the screen goes to stand by? can you write to isolated storage upon screen lock?
Yes, you are right. People do need to get used to that but what's happening is that they download the app, attempt to use it for 2 min and then rate it 1 star and uninstall. I've noticed many apps getting poor ratings and they seem perfectly fine to me.
You are allowed to run in the background, however you cant have any timers running as per power saving guidelines. So that would mean that my stopwatch would have to be disabled.
I'd rather just disable the phone idle while using my app..
Also as for the data erasing, I write to isolated storage but not until the routine is at a specific point in the process. If you are say entering exercises and you have to go do something and set the phone down and it auto screen locks, the app re-sets and all that data you were entering gets cleared since it didnt get to the isolated storage save point yet.
that is fixed, it's just up to microsoft to see if it passes testing now.
Will download and test it, but can't report back for a few weeks. Can't go to the gym this week and next I'm out of the country.
App updated 11/10/2010
Added the ability for users to import exercises from previously entered routines. This saves time for those who do the same routine throughout the week.
Besides the C&P and faster apps, there is virtually no other changes with NoDo...
i have no idea what MS are talking about regarding bluetooth, i see no difference before and now, still crappy sound. The same with camera settings (better stability switching from photo to video???).
I guess the most important thing is the stability of the system right now.
Ah well, time to wait for mango
Market works much better now.
So you haven't actually launched a game, or an app at all yet? Not gone into the Marketplace yet? Marketplace used to be a nightmare, and you needed third party search apps to actually look around...now it is ... SO SMOOTH :'')
And apps launch noticeably faster, and app switching (with back button) as well as apps running after screen lock/unlock are much quicker to load.
There are definitely other unnoticed bug fixes as well. Also, WiFi stores more profiles (still won't allow manual network config though), and some changes to About page in settings...
Overall it is a minor update.
yes i mentioned besides the stability and faster apps update, the bluetooth and camera updates were not significant (since MS stated that on their update page so i was expecting at least a little bit of improvement from there.
I was really hoping to start using my bluetooth headset with my Mozart... guess ill have to wait longer then.

Now that M$ have put Cut/copy and paste into WP7 can anyone please check and see if you can move calendar entries around like we used to be able to do in Windows Mbile?
I just want to be able to (both) copy or cut and paste a calendar entry to another day. Not the text within an entry, but the whole entry. In my work I usually need to go to a customer's house two or three times. I need to be able to cut or copy an entry and move it. I'm currently stuck on WM6.5 because of this.

in short no. Its not exactly a priority feature. Wouldn't be shocked if it never made it.
Far out...thanks. That screws me over in a big way. I literally have no alternative other than carrying a laptop around and moving calendar entries around in Outlook.
Removing this (standard WM feature) makes no sense to me.

It was never a matter of removal, WP7 was built from the ground up as an independent OS. Windows Mobile had a ton of functions that WP7 doesn't because for the most part they were completely unnecessary and just bogged down an already fairly laggy OS. I mean honestly, how many times a day do you have to rearrange a number of calendar appointments? I can't see how it could be enough to lug around a laptop everywhere you go...

Perhaps not a priority feature as such, but the thing is - had they implemented CnP correctly we would have been able to copy/cut images, photos, calendar entries et all instead of just plain text.
OS support is already there, what is missing is high-level support in their first-party "apps" and APIs.
They [Microsoft] said that CnP was always on the roadmap for WP7 but pulled from RTM as it wasn't polished enough. IMO what they did was simply to bundle their existing CnP code with some bugfixes and performance tweaks in order to deliver an update in January (which was subsequentially moved to late March). I would be very surprised if there isn't a more polished implementation in WP7.5.

This is where the PR and marketing people lied to you. WP7 is built on the same old Windows CE as WM6.5 (more or less). The OS has been around for a decade in one form or another. WP7 is basically a new GUI.
I would not be surprised to see a convergance of Windows CE and Windows 8 in the future - once Windows proper can run on Arm I see no reason to keep on top of two different codebases. WP8 will, IMO, be running with Windows 8 under the hood.

The problems with bluetooth headsets;
1. Random dropouts when listening to music
2. Occasionally the phone drops the connection to the headset entirely and you have to force a disconnect / reconnect manually
3. Headset button longpress does not start voice control
4. Headset microphone cannot be used for voice control
5. Videos do not output their sound to the headset
6. Because of (5), games with video segments cannot be played using a BT headset unless you want to periodically blast people nearby when the videos play

AMEN! This was the main thing I was hoping would be fixed in NODO. I hope a small incremental update will fix this before MANGO...
With my Blueant Q2 the sound has noticeably improved. I've never had any issues with the headset as I always carry my phone in my right pocket, and wear my headset on my right ear... Just out of habit, I'm right handed. However, if I were laying down with the phone on my left, at times I would hear static. That appears to be gone in the 4 or so hours I've been using it now. Other issues with the headset are the headsets issue, I assume Blueant will improve it with their much needed firmware update...

1. Never happened to me.
2. ^
3 & 4. I can use the provided features just fine, the problems you are implying aren't bluetooth problems, but search function limitations...
5 & 6. Haven't tried.
I also think C&P in integrated so much more nicely than I would have expected. For instance, if you go into a contact's information, and hold down on their phone number, the option to copy it pops up. That is a feature I personally never saw demoed and I am very happy it has been included, it definitely makes up for the lack of an ability to paste contact cards. The whole implementation is also much smoother than I expected, and also looks much 'prettier' in person than it did in videos.
The apps are smoother, not only in their load times, but also in their pivot controls. I kept hearing this had been altered in this update, and a few apps have confirmed this for me, with the exception of the horribly laggy Board Express Pro. The games I play the most to kill time (Spades, Hearts, etc) load much, much quicker. The OS is definitely smoother, and it's a big plus on the HTC devices that they unexcusably decided to use SD cards on.
I don't really need to speak about the market, as most people have beaten it to death already, but it's much smoother. No longer opening an entry and waiting a day for it to load the information. Also, when downloading an app, the whole process is faster and smoother, aside from the download which is connection dependent obviously. Going through the app list, and pages is a pleasure now, no longer a hassle, though I never really experienced the crash that others had so often. The section specific search is also a huge plus, no more music entries when I'm looking for apps, love that inclusion.
Settings have also been adjusted, but most noticeably, especially probably more for us on this forum who understand security is the inclusion of the MAC address in the about screen. I had to jump through hoops to set up my phone on my home network just because this wasn't listed. Also, it appears my network connection is more stable now. At times in the past, when I would wake the phone from sleep, I would have to wait a good 2 minutes for it to reconnect to a network, now it's almost instant, every time so far.
Camera appears to load slighty faster, and at least for me, it has also started focused already, rather than having to focus. It also seems to be smoother, transitioning through the settings and such. I, for one, am glad the settings don't save, and agree this is a 'feature' - those of you who complain about the video settings not being saved (HD settings) have to understand how much more space that consumes, and the average user would have no idea. With the exclusion of swappable storage, I think that's a BIG plus... Though, they should have some out of norm way to force it, just to make users happy.
Sorry for the long post, just wanted to be specific. I'm sure I'll find more goodies as I play with the phone more, and I'll try to post them as I go along. I'm very pleased with this update, especially considering how 'minor' it is.

I too can use the voice control fine, with a long press of the WINDOWS button and not havin a bluetooth headset connected.
But with a bluetooth headset connected, the longpress of the headset doesn't start voice control as you would expect. However you can longpress the WINDOWS button still, and though that starts the voice control software, because it's trying to use the microphone in the bluetooth headset, and that doesn't seem to work, you cannot issue any voice commands. It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't disable the microphone in the phone itself.
Basically, if you use a bluetooth headset, you cannot use voice commands, but if you disconnect your headset, you can.
This is not a "Search function limitation", I'm not talking about search, I'm talking about voice commands.
Cheers

Actually, you can open the entry and edit it, changing the hour or/and day of event. Then it automatically moves to correct date.
For Nodo
Not having Marketplace freeze on me every other time I browse on it (requiring a reboot) is NIGHT and DAY!
Much, much faster....
Just a heads up, I did a hard reset after NoDo forced-update, b/c I had lost 3rd Party Live Tile functionality, and I believe that it runs even smoother after the clean-up. Plus, as soon as I synced w/ Zune, it started downloading all the apps I had on it previously...didn't realize that little bonus.
Sorry, I'm not sure if this is the right section to ask this.
I'm looking for some option, or tweak, that lets me reduce the wifi power emission (electrosmog).
I know that it can be done in Windows, for many wifi cards, where you can select the power level for the outgoing signal.
I cannot find anything similar in Android.
Thanks for any suggestion.
You may need special kernel for it which isn't exist for now... I know it was once available at Linux kernel several years ago but people get troubled with power management system because of Wi-Fi issues related to low power applies.
I don't know linux kernel still allows you to lower power because kernel was fixed after that issues and don't know too how that fix done which way(removed or optimised? probably removed).
Just look up google for linux terminal codes, i haven't found anything as i guess...
