Is it possible to increase the functionality of this nice little utility?



Like most people, I have set-up automatic retreival of email (PUSH or POP).  Currently that run's all day at a selected interval (for me every hour).  However this is bloody anoying when at 1 or 2am you receive an email, and you get awoken by the alert!



So, is it possible that functionality could be added that would allow the user to indicate hours of operation?  Such as for each day, you could say allow connection between times?



For Example:

Mon-Fri: Allow 06:00 until 22:00

Sat-Sun: Allow 10:00 until 22:00

Does this work on Wizard? (MDA Vario)

[PaulOBrien]

Should work on any PPC, and maybe Smartphone

[tsutton]

Thanks, I'll have a play with it on my Vario

hi paul

I've tried to download it on my vario 2 via pie and it downloads index.php too and doesn't actually get the cab file

although it'll probably work fine on my desktop pc but it doesn't download on the vario 2

Tried it on my Wizard & it seems to work very well. For me the acid test comes next week when I go to Europe for a few days.  

The time schedule idea / request sounds good too. Nothing worse than using the phone as an alarm clock only to be woken by an email in the middle of the night.

Keep up the good work & thanks.

A simple but brilliant program - going on holiday on Monday and this is exactly what I was looking for!

If I was to make one small comment, it's that while it works fine in landscape mode, it's not as pretty

[PaulOBrien]

Ah yus, haven't used the fancy landscape switching control.

Might do a new version since it seems to be a useful app

I really appreciate this, I tried it out last night and it worked fine thanks! Now, I have a 'data-free' sleep and can still leave my phone on! Plus, I'm off to Greece this weekend! Huzzah!

Two things: any extra work you put into this I think would be greatly appreciated; and also, I'm not sure about your comments on the Orange connections earlier in this thread - my unit has been connecting to the net thru 'Orange GPRS WAP' and not 'Orange Internet'. I don't know if this has necessarily caused me an issue, but my bill was wrong and I am now thinking I should have disabled/deleted the WAP connection and left just the Internet one. Orange are not clear on this

Paul,



Have you had a look at adding the above functionality?  If you don't have time, would it be possible to let some other 'developer' have a go, using your code as a base? Me=C#, .NET Developer

[PaulOBrien]

I'll post the source code here in a bit!

[simonster]

Paul,

Perhaps an extra benefit to Plus members could be a Plus version of the app?

Not trying to be 'too' pushy :-), but how long is a bit? (same as my piece of string?)

Newbie here - been looking how to do this for ages - not for when im abroad - though this would be good but for when i am home and waning to use WIFI not GPRS (especially for my directpush emails)

Quick question for you - how do I install this programme onto my VARIOII?

Many thanks

Just copy the cab file onto your device using ActiveSync. On your device use file explorer to find the cab, then double click on it to install it.

Hi all, i have just got a XDA Mini S on O2, which is a fantasic bit of kit, i love the fact that i can surf the net and read my E-Mail over the WiFi, which leads me to the point of this post!. this might sound like a REALLY stupid question but how do i know if the GPRS system is active? as i want to turn the thing of as i dont want to use it at all.
I tried to install the Disable GPRS program, but when i try and run it it throws up a error message like "
ERROR, An unexpected error has occurred in NoData.exe.
Select Quit and then restart this program, or selet Details for more informaation"
so i restart and it still say the same thing.
Any clues?
Also how do i remove the O2 programs? i really dont want or need most of them.
Thanks!

Have you installed the CAB file properly? Don't open CABs on your PC - copy the archive straight onto your PPC and install it from there using a file explorer, or use the CABViaActiveSync utility provided in "Paul's free software" in this forum (hermes.modaco.com).

Your other questions can be answered a) by RTFM, and not on this thread!
