WP-Pilot v2.0 - One-handed navigation of WeatherPanel - Page 3

treosophy · #21 (**permalink**) 05-14-2007, 11:49 AM

I used WeatherPanel 3 or 4 years back (I think) and it was a bit of a resource hog and I had to sync to get updates, which usually took a while.

Having returned to it with my Treo 700WX, this application is sweet. Just wanted to say thanks to all the people (especially StoryR) here who have submitted helpful tips, created skins, given advice - you guys make this site and my Treo just absolutely ROCK!

Seriously, thanks for all your time and efforts!

Storyr,
I don't have a data plan with my wx, therefore, am I going to need it when I install this app to my phone? I don't know quite how it works with your plan, or how it updates its info in realtime.

WeatherPanel updates via the internet - a data plan wouldn't be a bad idea, but it depends on actual usage. You might wait a month and see what happens. I download multiple cities, plus multiple images every half-hour, plus direct-push email - I require a data plan.

BTW - WP-Pilot is a utility that I wrote to allow one-handed control of WeatherPanel. You need to first install WeatherPanel itself. Check this index for more information...

First... I like the new avatar.

I installed WP Pilot 2.0 on my 6800 and I could never get the menu or icon to initialize. Worse yet when I tried to remove it, it locked out data connection, cleared out the "Remove Programs" list and I couldnt remove/rename/move/copy OR add programs, files, etc...

I had to perform a hard reset and revert back to a backup but I have yet to re-install in fear of repeat. I am running WP 2.5.1.

Any ideas/thoughts?

Wow - talk about a worse case scenario. I've never heard of any issues with WP-Pilot (even small issues). I can't even imagine how WP-Pilot could cause all of this - it's just a Today plugin. It sounds like something trashed your RAM.

If you took the backup after the "install", I'd be worried about restoring it too. Since you just hard-reset, now's the time to try reinstalling WP and WP-Pilot - just to check it out. Worst case - you have to hard reset again...

Well the work you have done on WP is legendary. And the backup I have in reserve is a clean one. You are right... It would take me only 5min to try again and hard reset if it buggers. It may have been a coincidence that it pooped while launching WP-Pilot and may have been a conflict of interest on my PPC elsewhere.

I will re-attempt and let you know how I fare. Thanks for your reply storyr.

Update (13 min later)...

I apologize if I blamed WP-Pilot for the disturbance on my device; as it turned out WP-Pilot loaded and works just fine and compliments WP greatly. Thanks for the support!

I have installed both the .cab and desktop versions of WP-Pilot and it will not display on my Mogule as the screenshot displays. I am advanced in this stuff AND IT SIMPLY DOESN'T WORK. What am I doing wrong?

**CozBoogie** · #28 (**permalink**) 03-01-2008, 12:02 PM

For starters I don't see a screen shot. Secondly, what theme are you using? A bit more info would be helpful over all.

late,
Coz

WP-Pilot is for one-handed operation only, and the instuctions are correct on how to get it to work. If you are looking for the skin, you can find it here:

Thanks guys but uh..the thing just suddenly appeared. I am having so freeze ups, slowdowns, and other functionality issues with my Mogule now. I am going to be tweaking it this weekend. I have the pilot now, but I don't know why it took so long to appear. As I have said I am advanced at this stuff...lol. I am using the Chameleon Theme.
