T-Mobile MDA-II: Bluetooth LED not flashing when BT enabled - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

Hello,
i know many people would like to disable to blue LED when using Buetooth, but i have the problem that the LED never worked.
Bluetooth works fine, but i would like to know when it's active and as the LED doesn't flash i have no idea. I also tried to hardreset my device but without success.
Is it intended that the german T-Mobile MDA-II doesn't flash the blue light when BT is enabled or is anyone else having problems with it?
kind regards,
cyb3r

Hi cyb3r,
no, not flashing the blue led on the MDA-II is not a intended feature.
It flashed very bright indeed when BT is enabled.
So if you hard resetted your device and didn't modify anything, it looks like it's a warranty issue :?
Or maybe you can change device with the fellow who want's to read books in bed.
...

ok, fine - just wanted to make sure it isn't different on the MDA.

[new release] VJImpoto (alpha) - disable external LEDs

Guys - this minor release is in response to this thread:.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=281581
I've written a small app to disable the LED driver on most HTC devices, ie, battery charging leds, bluetooth, notification led, wifi led(?); this will remain effective until you soft reset.
There are no installers etc for now, it's a work in progress, but I'll put it out for the time being.
Note - by disabling the LED driver, the PDA won't be able to disable any currently activate leds, so eg if you're charging up (orange led active), and then run VJImpoto, the orange led will stay on until you soft reset whether you're charging or not.
So run it when you've got no LEDs on, and they'll stay off.
However: this is alpha, because I noticed that the "heartbeat" flash of the phone radio (green flash of led every few seconds) continues despite the LED driver being disabled: clearly that action is activated elsewhere on the system, so it'll need further investigation. However, this app merely disables AllLedMgr, so any flaws with that strategy carry here too.
Command line options:
-showinfo shows info on usage/donations
-debug shows feedback on whether it worked.
-killall killall will first attempt to switch off any active leds (except radio LED), so as discussed above, running "VJImpoto -killall" will first switch off the orange led, and then disable AllLEDMgr. However, this has the peculiar side effect of making the heartbeat flash now flash on the left green led on the Hermes. I recommend using -killall.
Please give feedback on if it worked for you. I'll make a cab later, .exe only for now.

hi vijay, would it be possible for you to create one for smartphones? thanks
Could you send me over a registry dump? I haven't worked on Smartphones for many years (I had the original SPV - a pioneer!) Don't know if you can point me towards a rom dump as well, but I'll certainly look into it if you can.

i exported my T-Mobile Registry using PHM Reg Editor and here it is:

for ROMs i dont know how to dump mine

Wizard freezes on wake-up while GPRS is AlwaysOn

Hi,
I have MDA Vario version of HTC Wizard.
After a ROM upgrade (to version 2.21.2.11) I have the following problem :
If I set AlwaysOn=1 in the registry, then GPRS is always connected as it should be - but when the device goes out of standby (by pressing (I) button or by an incoming call/message), the keyboard and touch screen do not respond for 10-20s. I can hear beeps when pressing keys but nothing happens (e.g. I cannot pick up a call...). After an annoying while, everything goes back to normal until a next standby-wake up cycle.
I've re-flashed the device with my operator ROM three times already, no other programs are installed (except customization stuff) and still have the same problem.
Before I decide to use some custom ROM, I'd rather try to find some other solution...
Any idea ?
regards
Maciek
AHHH me too
same setting applied and now i can i get a white screen after the tmob boot screen. when i call my phone it dosnt ring but the send & end buttons light up. the green signal indicator light is on too, and thats it. it also sleeps after a few min like normal, but the when i wake it up, the signal light is flashing but the backlight is not on. i really want to figure out how to put a txt file in the root of a card with instructions ot reinstall the backup reg i have. or get an activesync of my favs, list of apps, and outlook. any thoughts would be appreciated.....its my first ppc/wm device (xircom rex 6k --> handera 330 --> sharp zaurus 5500sl --> sharp zaurus 6000l --> HTC Wizard/T-mobile MDA Vario).

Hi - I am having a problem almost identical to the one in the first post. when my phone is in standby something happens which means it does not respond when turned on for about 20seconds, although it will anser a call. it's very annoying if you want to add a date quickly or send a text.
I have turned off gprs always on, removed any storage card plugins, and changed exchange server to only sync the last 3 days instead of everything. I am really a bit confused as tbis problem has only come about since I installed the tmob 2.26 rom and latest uk radio (after unlocking my phone) my phone previously worked fine with the current uk rom but was very slow toboot up. I don't really want to downgrade but i'm not seeing much option rihgt now. did anyone ever solve this?
any help greatly appreciated.
I am not really sure if this is a result of the GPRS ALWAYS ON settings - it just does not look that way!
I had a similar problem without having GPRS always turned on. After I reflashed the phone with exactly the same ROM again everything works fine. Did you booth install the CUSTOM ROM integrated in the flashed ROM as well or did you perform a SOFT RESET before it could install? The reason I ask is because of I think the problem is in the way how the WIZ writes / adds contents to the REGISTRY. It might have been that you resetted the device a bit too fast after HARD RESET or REFLASH and some of your REGISTRY KEYS are messed up!
If you have the possibility to perform a HARD RESET or REFLASH of your device: please try it and see if the problem persists! But please do not reload a backup afterwards because it would import also the faulty registry again ...
Please post your results afterwards, so, others would have a solution in future!
will give that a shot, although I did a completely clean install on this phone - no imported backups etc... is there any tool that can reset my registry to default settings?

Not really!
Depending on your phones ROM and CUSTOM ROM your registry will differ from others anyway, so, the only one way to get a 'default registry' is to perform a hard reset.

Wi-Fi is neither on nor off

Hey all,
I somehow managed to screw up my Wi-Fi so it now appears to be turned on, even though it's not. The problem is, I can't turn it on..or off. Comm manager won't work. The Connections icon on the top bar of the today screen shows it as on and connected, when I click the icon the big button seems to let me turn the Wifi off, but when I hide the panel and show it again, it stays the same as before. And the other text on the panel writes "Turn Wi-Fi On". Umm..the last few sentences might look a bit confusing..well I have the Laurentius WM6 ROM (AKU 0.5 update 1 I think) so apart from the standard Turn Wi-Fi On/Off text (that looks like an internet link ), there's also a big button serving the same purpose. And simply put, the button looks as if the Wi-Fi was on, and the "link" as if it was off. I hope you get what I'm trying to say here Anyway, I tried hard-reseting the device and everything got fine again, until I restored my full backup (created by Sprite Backup 5 about a minute before the hard reseting). After that, the WiFi problem is back. Anyone got an idea what it could be caused by or what to do to get rid of it please?
Many thanks, Longlife
Well, the problem is solved, dunno how it happened but now everything works just fine Sorry for bothering :S

Bluetooth Dying!

Using a T-Mobile (USA) MDA, HTC Wizard, with the last official T-Mobile ROM, version 2.26.
Just very recently, Bluetooth often stops working, and I cannot get it back on again.
I try various ways of turning it back on. For instance:
1) The BT icon in the tray using the "Battery Status Today plug-in. (Actually I have the newest one, now called "Home Screen Plus Plus".)
2) An app called "Bluetooth Toggle, an icon to click that should switch BT ON and Off.
3) Comm Manager
4) Settings, Connections Tab, Bluetooth settings.
None of those work. In any of them, when I click where ever one should to turn on BT, the screen freezes there, only to be resolved by a soft reboot.
Sometimes on rebooting, BT is working again, but other times not. In fact, for the last several hours today, I have not been able to turn BT on again at all, despite reboots.
Does this sound like a hardware problem, or could it be something that could be resolved through software?
Any suggestions, registry tweaks, etc.?
I guess I could try a hard reset or reflash. But before trying something that drastic, which would require reinstalling all my apps, reconfiguring, etc., I'm wondering if there is something else I can try.
Or, if it's an irrepairable hardware problem, then I should perhaps look for another phone as soon as possible, as I want to have BT. I was waiting though, for a good new 3G WM phone to come out on T-Mobile in the next months. So, I would rather fix the MDA to use for a couple more months, rather than getting a Dash or Shadow now. (Wouldn't get the Wing, as I would prefer my next phone to be smaller and lighter than the MDA.)
Any suggestions on what to try, to see if I can get BT working again?
The change often seems to occur on re-booting. BT is working fine. On re-booting the MDA, BT is off, and I cannot turn it back on, as described above.
However, sometimes on rebooting again, it turns back on.
Any explanation for this?

WIFI Problem with cooked roms

Sometimes i cant get wifi to work, i open comm manager and wifi its turned on even if i have disable it the last time i use. Then i turn it off and turn on again and i cant get it to work. If i made a soft reset with wifi on, the next boot in comm manager the wifi switch its on, but in task bar it's not showing the wifi icon, then i cant connect even if disable and enable.
The only way to make it work again its doing some soft resets, and sometimes even power off, before this i have to disable it in comm manager.
I thought its my phone problem and today installed the standard rom that came with my phone to send it to rma, but before, i try to replicate the problem and no sucess, wifi always working even after turn off, soft reset etc...
I allways do task 29 before flash, except today that i have installed standard rom, then the cooked.
The roms i use to flash are xanny and nrgz, i have the same problem in both, i even try diferent radios...
Any tip?
Thanks
Since I started flashing I've had this problem. Right after the flash WiFi works like a charm but after the first reset it's gone.
Solution I've been using for more than a year now is the following:
- Goto the WiFi Settings in your configuration settings and push on "Wireless Networks"
- Then "Edit" this profile (in WM 6.5.x the button on the bottom of your screen)
- Then goto "Name Servers" and put in your own
Gateway IP address in the DNS box and/or Wins box
- Press "OK" twice and you'll see the WiFi icon popup in your topbar
I know it's not the best solution but at least it works without having to reset it first (until the next reset. 'cause then you'll have to it again)
Hope it's working for you too.
Thanks i wil try next time to do that.
Its very weird my phone have almost 2 years and in the begining i start to flash i didn't have any problems like this, the original rom didn't last 24h in my phone, i didn't know exactly when it start to happen, but its only in the cooked roms.
I couldn't replicate it in the original rom...
But now since i installed the original rom and then a cooked rom it only happens once, lets see if it gets better.
Wifi Blues
Hi all
I am also facing similar issues on my Blackstone. I am using blackstonehenge rom and tried energy, kwbr rom as well. But my wifi and blue tooth some how don't work.
Today for the first time wifi signal was identified but it dried down quickly afterwards. No clue how it came or why it went away.
Please I need assistance. Can any body help Please.
Regards
I have same problem. Any solution?
well, a good start is to flash the latest radio rom. many cooked roms recommend it and have the corresponding rilphone integrated. if you are already on the latest radio, flash a previous version and then back to latest radio. also, after a radio upgrade, a hard reset is recommended. that should usually get it working.
Hi,
This may be way off mark but thought I'd mention it anyway.
My WIFI worked fine on my phone, then I flashed my first cooked rom a couple of weeks ago. After a soft reset, WIFI would start and be fine for a few minutes then wouldn't connect to anything.
I went through the settings and noticed that the WIFI was set to "best Battery". I moved this to "best performance" and WIFI has been fine ever since.
Like I say, this may be too simple but mabye worth a try.
Cheers
Wifi and Blue Tooth
