Requirements:
This version is intended for Windows Mobile Proffesional users with screen resolutions anywhere between 240x320 and 480x800.
Users running versions of Windows Mobile prior to Windows Mobile 6 may need to install version 2.0 of the .NET Compact Framework.
Windows Mobile Standard (non-touchscreen) devices are now supported, as of version 1.0.5. Note that we have not tested SportyPal on any Windows Mobile Standard device ourselves. The only Windows Mobile Standard phones that still won't run SportyPal that we know of are the Motorola Q series.
Update Description:
v1.2.3:
- The "Turn display off during workout" option now works properly and doesn’t force your display to turn off when it isn't enabled.
- Registration results should make a lot more sense now (now more wrong password messages if you didn’t enter the wrong password).
- Windows Mobile Standard users can now view and use the sharing screen again.
- Removed the autopause option since it didn’t seem to do much and it was nothing but trouble.
- Reduced overall memory usage.
- SportyPal will no longer crash if it encounters a write error during upload (upload will still fail, though).
- Checkpoints are no longer placed automatically at the beginning and end of a pause section, leading to a NaN value during analysis on the website.
- Improved error logging to help us find several bugs that users have reported but that we can't reproduce. Also fixed a potential crash during error logging (the application would have already crashed at that point, but it would’ve prevented the log from being saved).
- Altitude detection has been improved. Since we suspect that, according to user data, altitude detection may be causing altitude during a workout to "skip" (jump between invalid and valid values), we’ve also added an option to turn it off.
- Added several improvements in reading workouts from memory.
- Workouts that do not contain any coordinates will now be removed when you attempt to access them. This will most likely cause SportyPal to crash (gracefully), but then again, you shouldn't have been able to save that kind of workout anyway. At least it'll keep the empty workout from causing any more trouble.
- Implicitly invalid coordinates (all zeroes or out of the map) should no longer bog down a workout as long as you’re receiving something that looks valid, no matter how bad your signal is.
- Upload confirmation show up properly now, along with a notification for the new version.
v1.2:
- Added new workout types: skiing, rowing, horse riding, driving, flying, sailing, swimming, hiking, paragliding, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, surfing and golfing.
- Added variable sampling rates according to workout type.
- Altitude mode is auto-detected now. There should be no need to set it manually now, but the option’s still there in the profile screen if you need it.
- Added an experimental auto-pause feature. We still don’t know if it works well on all devices, but you can turn it off in the profile screen if you don’t like it.
- The workout tracking map screen now displays the correct current speed instead of the average speed (oops).
- Removed the splash screen. Starting SportyPal now takes you directly to the main menu.
- When uploading, you’ll get a notification when a new version is available. The notification should contain a clickable link that you can use to download the new version directly.
- SportyPal now sends unit system information properly when using the device to create an account. If you register an account with imperial units selected, you’ll see imperial units when you log in to the website with that account.
- Fixed several extremely rare bugs that make SportyPal unstartable, like corrupted workouts or map images being saved.
- Also fixed a potential Facebook-related crash ("potential" as in "no one has reported it, but it was bound to happen sooner or later").
- SportyPal now checks for and attempts to correct negative length/time workouts.
- Fixed the pop-up menus that sometimes refused to appear.
- The profile screen should start-up much faster now.
- Added some instructions on where you should place the device during the workout. They show up while you’re waiting for a GPS signal fix.
- You no longer have to enter an e-mail address to start a workout. You only need to enter your weight now.
- Fixed several translation-related bugs in the sharing screen.
- The sharing screen should now close itself after a successful share.
