P.S. And again, drblow and I are NOT the same person! :lol:

[Guest drblow]

:lol: :D ;)

[Guest McHale]

damn that c500!!!!!!

:lol:

[Guest aminchew]

I'm trying this on an Audiovox SMT-5600 with AT&T as the provider. This is displayed with the "&" filtered out as an acclerator key (ie, ATT).

Not a big deal, but it shouldn't be a hard fix.

Thanks for the plugin!

first i must say this is a awsome plugin. great work. i am also having the signal problem were it is always showing 100% this is on my mpx220. any update?

[Guest drfonz]

I'm affraid not yet for several reasons...

One is that I haven't had much time lately with my new job and all. But the main one is that I don't have a Motorola phone to test things on, so I'd be trying to fix things blind!

Hi - great plugin.

I wanted to use the memory bar on my homescreen, and display it along side my SMS / MMS plugin, however it did not display. Any ideas?

This is the code I used:

<!-- need to double wrap cos carrier plugin ignores format tags it seems -->

<!-- MMS/SMS Plugin -->

SMS:

<!--x = "42"-->

MMS:

<!-- Memory Available Plugin -->

padding-bottom="0" font-size="13" font-weight="normal"/>

padding-bottom="0" font-size="13" font-weight="bold"/>

Memory:

{free-percentage}%

Memory:

{free-percentage}%

Sorry about the double post, still getting the hang of forums.

If it is any help, my new i-Mate SP3i also does not work with the signal strength plugin. All other plugins are fine.

It displays the percentage and bar graph at whatever the signal was when the phone was switched on or that screen was chosen in the menu. I t then never changes.

Signal:

{strength-percentage}%

image-full="\Storage\Application Data\Home\monitor\bar_full.bmp"

image-empty="\Storage\Application Data\Home\monitor\bar_empty.bmp"

bar-direction="left-right" type="signal-strength" transparent-color="#FEFEFE"/>

Hello sealevel try version 0.9.5.1 because the last version 0.9.6.0 has a problem with signal strength.

[Guest sealevel]

Thanks Powerful. However, the Smartphinger site doesn't appear to have any older versions available for download and I can't find that version anywhere else on the web.

Any suggstions as to where I could locate it would be appreaciated.

Sealevel.

[Guest Powerfull]

@ sealevel

I have the version 0.9.5.1 on my hard drive, if you have an email adress, I can send you the file.

[Guest sealevel]

Thanks for the offer Powerful, I have sent you a PM with my email address.

Sealevel.

[Guest sealevel]

Follow up information!

Version 0.5.9.1 works okay on the i-Mate SP3i (HTC Feeler, I think) phone.

Don't forget to start the phone after uninstalling a previous version or newer version.

There seems alot wrong with that code. You cant have two plugins on the same line except when you use the e200 orange plugin. You have to close all plugins with the tag. Maybe start with an existing homescreen and modify from there.

I can't get this to work with wm2002 on my mpx200 ,

i guess this is a 2003 version ????

if it is , has anyone got the 2002 version ???

[Guest salehdidit]

i'm rather confused as to how the signal meter works. when my phone shows full reception (on the phone signal meter), i still don't get 100% signal, maybe 50-60%. however, sometimes when my phone signal meter shows a very weak signal (and it is weak as i get dropped calls etc), the signal monitor plugin may show even 100%.

is there absolutely no correlation, or am i missing something...? i'm using it on an smt5600 with at&t service.

[Guest smartcard]

This is a great plug-in. Thanks for it.

I have a problem showing my Storage, it shows ??? but my SD Card storage is showing fine.

Here's the relevant section of my XML;

Thank you^^

[Guest McHale]

Wanted everyone using 0.9.6.0 and not having any success with the signal strength working, I have verified that 0.9.5.1 works great on my MPx220. Signal strength works as it should...

[Guest drfonz]

Hi guys,

I just thought I'd let you know that SmartMonitor will no longer be worked on anymore. I know I haven't updated it for ages, but I guess it does everything I wanted it to do (and a few more things that you guys wanted), but the time has come to part company.

I'm not abandoning SmartPhone development just yet, but I am putting it on hold indefinitely. I guess I need to concentrate on something that might actually reward me in ways other than personal satisfaction in seeing people use my products on a daily basis. And believe me that kind of reward is still the best one there is, but unfortunately it doesn't pay the bills.

So, if anyone out there wanted to get a hold of SmartMonitor or SmartBiorhythms and hasn't got around it just yet, I'd sugget you do it soon, because I've informed my Hosting provider that I will not be renewing my contract next month.

Anyway, I'm sure I'll be back some day with something that people might actually like enough to support with a few pennies. Until then, in the words of that great actor that is Vinnie Jones: "It's been emotional".

Cheers,

Dr Fonz

[Guest scott2eyes]

Sorry to hear that drfonz, but thanks for all your hard work, and probably the most useful (smartmonitor) and frivolous (biorhythms) plugins out there!

Good luck for the future!
