As requested by users here (
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=73292), I have created a tournament timer for Windows Mobile. It is a work in progress, so please provide suggestions, feedback, and any defects you find (including compatibility).
Please click "Thanks" if you like it
Enjoy!
* Requires .NET CF 3.5
Please do not redistribute or re-post this app without my permission. Thank you!
Release Notes:
v 1.0
- Initial release
v 1.1
- removed 1 second pause after starting or re-starting timer
- added option to pause the timer after each round
- added beep when 30 seconds remain in the round
- set default round time to 15 minutes
- clicking anywhere on the main screen now results in a start/stop - please tell me if this results in accidental usage!
Known issues:
While the app is running, you cannot turn your screen off. It is recommended that you turn down your backlight while using the app to conserve as much battery as possible. Or bring a charger with you
I am working on a better solution.
PokerChronoSMP is a temporary work-around while I try to come up with a better power solution. It turns off the always-on feature and relies on the system for power management (System Managed Power). I plan to phase it out shortly as I fix the existing power management feature. If you use this version, please be aware that the timer may stop counting down after your screen shuts off. Also, you will almost certainly not hear the beeps at the end of a round. You can set your system power advanced features to never turn off before you begin your tournament. Don't forget to restore your settings after completing your tournament though!
I recommend bringing your charger. I do not know how long batteries will last while the app is running. If you do use it, please post your battery results along with any other comments.
Thanks!
