Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

looks fine here but I haven't edited any config after the update.

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

Is it possible to combine this with the 'disable-wlan' option?

I'm using a seperate applet for unloading the wifi drivers to save battery time.

It would be nice if your applet does that automaticly when switching to a 2/3G connection and reload wifi drivers when switching back to wifi.

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

Hi,

thank you all for testing.
There is a bug in the settings dialog. You always have to
set your internet connection in the settings dialog even if you
only want to change the icon size or the displayname.
Sorry for this, I will fix this and upload a new version later this day.

"...the 'disable-wlan' option?"
Well, I hoped the the next maemo update would solve this. And you
dont need applications like the wifi-switcher anymore to save the battery.
But I dont know if this is the case. I will look at wifi-switcher how
this works.

In this post http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...4&postcount=17
I described how to change the connection icon, for those people who
like to use their own icons.
Now I like this option too. What do you think, should I make this
configurable through the settings dialog?
And may someone help me with some default icons. I think
4 to 6 icons for different connection types should be enough.
For example:
GPRS - Internet
GPRS - MMS
WIFI - Home
WIFI - Work
WIFI - ...other, public, open...
preferred icon size 96x96 and two icons per connection type,
one for "connected" and "disconnected".

Hi !

Could you also consider my question please, to bring up the "setting wrench icon" (at desktop edit mode) higher (till its bottom aligned with the application icon bottom) so it could be placed to the edge of the screen please ?

Many Thanks for your help and answer,

Andrew

USB tethernet
Bluetooth tethernet
(I use both, using "Dummy IAP")

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

Hi,
sorry but I can not change the position of this wrench icon.
It is always at the lower left corner.
And this position stays the same, even if you change the
icon size. But you can remove and add the widget from the
desktop after changing the icon size. Now the wrench icon
should be at the correct position.

regards nicolai

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

New version (0.6) is in extras-devel.
The settings dialog works again now.
It is installable from there again, no need to upload
it here.
thank you for testing and I hope
it is useful.
regards nicolai

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

Hi nicolai, i use my own icons so they match the N900s default theme, i can upload them in the morning if you want them?
Heres a screen crop of the wifi connected icon ..

Attachment 9107

when its disconnected the blue signal part turns grey, iv also made them for a GPRS connection, i will upload them also.

I can also make new icons for you, they will also match the Maemo 5 UI icons.

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

This would be great,
thank you biggzy.

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

Would you like the 1s iv made (wifi connected/disconnected and GPRS connected/disconnected) or would you like new redesigned icons for home, work etc?

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

Hi biggzy,
does your gprs icon look different than your wifi icon?
What I would like to have is:
One type of icons for Wifi-connections and one for GPRS, which are
maybe similiar but even distinguishable.
(I just can not imagine how a gprs icon should look like, which isnt
recognized as a wifi as well).

From this to types we derive the icons for the different
connections, for example
gprs-internet: GPRS-Icon with a little globe
gprs-mms: GPRS-Icon with a little mail
Wifi-home: WIFI-Icon with house

Wifi-work: WIFI-Icon with (no idea)
Wifi-general: WIFI-Icon with (no idea)

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

The icons i made for my general connections are these...

WiFi
Attachment 9126 Attachment 9127

GPRS
Attachment 9128 Attachment 9129

If you want more just say, or if you want me to change anything.

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

Maybe like these for home and work?

WiFi Home
Attachment 9133 Attachment 9134

WiFi Work
Attachment 9135 Attachment 9136

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

Just found an update today and this is resolved. sweet, thanks!

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

So I got the icons replaced, but everytime I reboot, the icons reset to the default ones. Am I the only one who has this issue?

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

what is the name of this widget ..

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

@charbar
No problem here, just tested. Which version are you using?

@danx
ConnectNow

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

looks like 0.6

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

Add a new connectnow widget to your home screeen then remove the 1 that keeps reseting, see if that works

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

^tried that with no luck :(

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

i normall use 2g to conserve batteries. what would be an unreal option would be, when i use connectnow for provider internet it also changes my connection to 3g. Also reverts back to 2g when you press it again.

wonder if this is possible

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

Connectnow v.0.7 messed my device up!.....updated then noticed that bluewiz, sleeper and OMWeather were missing from the desktop.I`ve added them again only to find out that the 'done' button at the top could not be pressed!....it was getting stuck and was not working until I removed one of the apps mentioned above.....reeeealy strange problem

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

this is a brilliant widget, truly one of my all time favourites!

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

Did a restore and everything is allright now....its not Connectnow fault!

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

Hi, as some of you already found out, there is a new version.
Thanks to biggzy for his cool looking icons.
I changed the wifi icon a little bit to make the difference
between connected and disconnected more visible.
As someone wished I made another two for
bluetooth and usb.
And with this version the connection icons are configurable
with the settings dialog (this was much mor work than the widget
alone)

@charbar: Sorry for the long delay, can you please try this version.
If this dont work, try to remove the widget from desktop and
delete the connectnow settings file:
in xterm enter rm /home/user/.connectnow_home_widget
And now add the widget again.
@sophocha: thank for your feedback, it may be a fault from this widget. loading the settingsfile from older versions, where some
settings weren't configurable may cause this.
Hope all is working now.

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

Thanks for this amazing app, its one of those you cant live without, when your using your device on several diffrent network connections regularly :)

Everything seems to work fine :) and thx for adding the custom icons support :)

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

I have a similar problem with 0.7. As soon as I add the ConnectNow widget to the destop, it shows for only 1 sec, the page refreshes and then the ConnectNow widget disappears including all the other widgets on the page (even before I was able to press the Done button).

I tried to remove /home/user/.connectnow_home_widget, but it does not exist. Other 3rd party widget I've installed are: bluezwitch, Conversations Inbox and FindingIt.

What may cause this problem?

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

Try adding the widget (even if it's dissappearing before pusing the "done" -button), press done and then reboot. Will the widget show up after the reboot?

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

No, that did not work.

After rebooting, the widgets still do not show up.

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

This file is not "visible". Type
This should show many "."-files like .connectnow_home_widget

For some users hildon-home crashes after updating connectnow
to version 0.7. I dont know exactly why, it has something to do with
loading the icons.
I'll have a look once I'm back at home.

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

Nice, the program ****ed up all my widgets.

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

Same thing happened to me. But not too much of a problem as when I re-add the other widgets, they remember the position they were in as long as the correct desktop is viewed at the time.

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

This comment isn't really helpful.

No one force you to test those apps. This is still in extras-devel.
If you want something more stable - dont use this repository.

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

guys just remove connectnow and install fresh from app manager....then add your missing widgets....that is what fixed mine....if you update then omweather,sleeper and bluwiz and maybe others will be deleted from the desktop.

if it doesnt work then delete connectnow and do a restore,then install it again....it is crucial to make backups before installing something from devel....it saved my *** couple of times.

Re: ConnectNow Maemo5 widget to switch between internet connections
 

I used both MC and your LS command but this directory is not created in /home/user

Maybe this is the problem of the Widget not appearing?

Thanks for your help & suggestions.
