Pocket Plus 1.2 is out...

New features:

setup any app to minimize instead of close.
Show pertcentage instead of time
Storage card cand be displayed on today
more options for alarms/tasks/clock


So far this app just got 100% better then before...

**UPDATE** I recant the above line about being 100% better....it's starting to look like 100% worse...see post below about device locking up.

one flaw found already.... (but not a big deal)

The % on the memory is sort of incorrect. I have 63.20 total main memory. I have 40.27 allocated to Programs, with 32.1 free. Normally, mem % would be Free divided by allocated, so it would be 32 / 40 which results in about 80%. This update is actually taking Free (32) and dividing it by total main memory (63) which results in 50%. The correct amount of free RAM for programs is right, just the percentage is not calculated correctly.

I still think this software rocks....

Seems like somebody forgot to add the Storage free space into the equation.

Eitel already knows this but for those of you who need the math done out to understand this check out the thread at http://www.pocketpcpassion.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=27808&goto=newpost

Ok, at first I thought this upgrade from ver 1.1 was great, but I have to recant that. Sometimes when I tap-n-hold on the X , the program freezes up and requires a soft boot. Also, I've had PIE lock up twice now while the enhancement for PIE was turned on.

Anybody else experiencing more issues with 1.2 then they did with 1.1?

Though I have not had the lockup problems yet (or for that matter, I hope never), this has to be one of my must-have programs. So far, in my opinion, I have to agree, that this program just gets better and better.

I'm having a bit of a problem with PocketPlus 1.2. When I try to open the "Pocket Plust Today Plug-In", all I get is the wait icon (spinning circle in the squre thing). I let it sit for 1.5 hrs to see if it would find whatever it's looking for or do whatever it needs to do. No luck.

Anyone else experienced this issue?

I originally upgraded from 1.1, but have also tried uninstalling and re-installing. No fix.

Before I saw this original post, I was thinking of getting Pocket Plus and I got it after seeing your enthusiastic remark :D
It looks great and works ok at installation... After a few taps I added shortcuts to the laucher. Wow... I thought...

Then here comes the problems.

First, my Icbar won't let me open the Start Menu, it flashes when I tap on Start. After I had a little chat with the author of Icbar, he solved the problem by disabling the close button in Pocket Plus. Fine.

Now, I experience hanging from time to time when I open other applications or just hang with no reason. And this has never happened before I installed Pocket Plus.

Still I like the program, it gives me the ability to open new PIM windows and I like that. I hope they can fix the bugs...

Until the fixes are in place you can try ver 1.1 which was much more stable and works really well. Most of us have gone back to 1.1 until 1.2 can be fixed. If you need a copy of it, just PM me...

I use Icbar and Pocket Plus with the "Close" button disabled. Everything is working fine so far.

I really like the changes they made with the alarms. I'd rather chose the number of times the alarm rings than the length of time.

thanks man. I think I'll live with it at the moment and give it some more time. I'm sure the people in Spb are doing their best in providing a fix.

Cheers

They are per Jason's message.... keep in mind that some have found that 1.2 is a resource hog and making yur device run slower, so while running 1.2 is ok, it's going to slow down your device.
