Concept applications
These standalone programs have been written to test the features and concepts of the flagship applications. They are fully functional, but provide only one function. These applications can be used in combination or independent from each other. The concept applications are appropriate for people, who need to control only certain functions of their Treo 600. They are perfect if you need very small, well tested programs. For more information about them see the rest of this page or download the documentation from the Downloads section of this web site.

The currently available concept applications are Profeo MinuteMinder, Profeo LightControl, Profeo RadioControl, and Profeo LineSwitch (coming soon). Common for all of them is that they have been designed as "set-and-forget" utilities - once you set them up, you will rarely need to start them again - they will work in the background and you will only notice the benefits, for example you will enjoy longer battery life or automatic adjustment of the screen/keyboard visibility according to the time of the day.


Profeo LightControl
Profeo LC v0.9.6 is perhaps the most advanced standalone backlight control application for Treo 600. It allows you to switch the keyboard and screen backlight, adjust the screen contrast and brightness, and to automatically change Treo's light mode for day/night mode at specified times. It optionally replaces the standard Treo "opt+p" with a "smart" override mode and has "Stay On When Charging" functionality. Profeo LC is the only application which enables you to have permanent keyboard backlight and adjust the screen brightness at the same time. The main benefits of Profeo LC are the extended battery life and the increased comfort of automatic adjustment of the light according to the time of the day. For complete information, see the program documentation, which is available in the downloads section.

Profeo MinuteMinder
Profeo MM is the first Treo 600 application, which I started writing and it was never finished. Until now. :-)
The current official version is 0.4.2.

The program is quite simple - it beeps periodically during phone calls to remind you about the elapsed time. The beeps could be every minute, on 50th second of every minute, every 10 minutes and on 9th second of every 10 minutes. If both the minute and 10 minute beeps are enabled, then every 10 minutes the program will beep twice. The 50 second and 9 minute beeps are designed to allow you to say bye and hang-up fast. :-)
There are options to play a sound when Treo starts dialing and to play a sound when a phone call ends. New in version 0.4 are the options to disable the beeps if you have unlimited night or weekend calls.

To download it, please go to the Downloads section of the web site. Please note that this is a beta version and even though it works on my Treo, it may not work well for you. Please report any problems or suggestions on the support forum at mytreo.net.

Version history:
0.4.2 - fixed the bug, which caused the program to beep every 10 minutes even when no minute beeps were selected
- the no beeps during nights and weekends now affects only the per-minute beeps
0.4.1 - removed one extra beep in the case when beep on the 9th minute is selected
- it is now possible to select any of the options independently from the rest - the per-minute beep is not required
0.4 - added options to disable the beeps for free nights and free weekends
- fixed a problem that the beeps didn't play if Treo was muted
- fixed a problem that the beeps didn't stop if call is rejected
0.3 - added options for extra beeps on 10 minutes or beeps only on 10 minutes
0.1 - initial release


Instalation instructions
If you are running a previous version of any of these utilities, please disable it and delete it from your handheld before installing the new version, because the preferences data is probably incompatible or they may interfere with each other. Also, please disable or delete any third-party applications, that may have the same functions as the concept application you are installing. Such could be RadioControl, mLights, AutoDim, etc.

To install the selected application, just download it and then hotsync it to your handheld with your favorite PalmOS installer. After instalation, your handheld will request a system reset. By default, all Profeo applications are placed in the Utilities folder in the PalmOS's Application Launcher. Start the program you just installed in order to set its options. Note that some of the application functions may not be visible, until you select the proper checkbox, so feel free to experiment with the settings. If you DON'T LIKE that they are hidden, please send me an e-mail, because I am still looking for the most friendly user interface.


Profeo LineSwitch
Profeo LineSwitch v0.2 - a new concept application, which allows you to switch between two alternative lines of service at specified times. It works only on GSM Treo 600s that have the option available on their SIM card. The application will be available for download soon.


Profeo RadioControl
Profeo RadioControl v0.7.7 is application, which allows you to automatically turn on/off the Treo 600's radio (wireless mode) at specified times every day. There are several benefits of this functionality - extended battery life, lower radiomagnetic radiation levels when the radio is off, and the benefit of not being disturbed by phone calls/SMS messages during the night.
