Here is the command line flight mode on/off/toggle utility.
Command lines to switch on and off
Code:
\Program Files\rk-FltMode\rk-FltMode.exe on
\Program Files\rk-FltMode\rk-FltMode.exe off
\Program Files\rk-FltMode\rk-FltMode.exe toggle
Developed to support rk-Sleep/rk-Location switch applications but could be used anywhere!
Note: This application requires Compact Framework 2.0
You need compact framework 2.0 installed inorder to run this application. The compact framework is already part of WM6, so if your device is WM6 skip this step. But most of the WM5 devices do not have this update. So you must download here and run the installation on your desktop (then active sync to update your device). Only after completing this step install the application.

Rajesh,
Thanks for adding the toggle funtion. Is there a way to assign either a soft or hardware button to the toggle funtion. Thank you for the help, I am not that familiar with command line stuff. Any help would be appreciated.
so, it is more or less like vijay's phone toggle?

Yes christopher, You need to create a shortcut to 'rk-FltMode.exe' with the command line as specified in the first post
e.g
Code:
\Program Files\rk-FltMode\rk-FltMode.exe toggle
You can use resco explorer or any freeware application available to create the shortcut.

This is basically flight mode on/off switch.. I am not sure if vijay's phone toggle doing the same. But looks like vijay's phone tool is to close the phone application if running. But I am not 100% sure
I am not getting something. I went to /program files/rk-fltmode and in that file there is an exe that goes to your program. I made a shortcut and named it" rk-fltmode.exe TOGGLE". WHen I click on it it takes me to your program but that is it. Could you please give me a step by step instructions please.
I have the at&t tilt if that helps. Thanks in advance.

The shortcut name can be anything...
You need to right click on the shortcut you created.. and choose properties from the context menu
From the window displayed choose the tab 'Shortcut'
now edit the Target as follows
\Program Files\rk-FltMode\rk-FltMode.exe toggle
Click Ok on the top
Now tap on the shortcut you created it should toggle the flighmode for you...
If not let me know i will send you the shortcut
Thank You, I finally was able to make it work. On the Tilt though it only turns off the Cell radio, it doesn't accually put it in flight mode. but it works for my purpose. Again thank you for al the hard work.

Can you tell me what exactly is the 'Security Pin' Is it a sim lock?
Let me know so that I can check on that
Yes it's the sim lock.
In wm6, you can find it at Start -> Settings -> Phone (requiere PIN when phone is used)
There is an VERY old app by HTC that also switches on/off the GSM Radio (ie NO real flight mode) I am using it for years now. Packaged it into my own cab.
It has a very small memory footprint (5.5Kb, no frameworks needed!) and usage is easy: Star the program (the cab puts a link in Startmenu/programs) to togle the radio status.

Security PIN is NOT the same as SIM Lock.
The security PIN is the code you have to supply when you want to use your SIM (ie when the GSM radio is switched on).
You can disable the security PIN like mentioned above.
SIM ock is something else: It prevents you to use SIM's from other networks than the device is locked to. You need an unlock code from your network operator or from www.imei-check.co.uk (you might have to pay for that) OR use some specific software to get rid of the SIM lock (search the forum if there is such software available for your device).
I can't disable. I have a dual SIM. One pin is for personal use and the other one for business...
Of course you can disable the ecurity PIN, but maybe you don't want to...
BTW: For some dual SIM adaptors (like my 15th gen) you have to disable PIN security!

How do you select the sim to make the calls?
I'm about finishing a plugin for Today Screen and Home Screen, where the latest status of prepaid SIM Card (account) is displayed.
As you know, to get this status, you have to send a special code. Mostly, it is *101# and a green phone button. In reply, cellular network responses with a special message. As I could check that replies in a few networks, messages depend from the cellular network. And the language too. Because of that, my plugin just displays a whole message without changes.
My question is: how that reply messages look like in various networks? Could you please post here message you get?
I want to get answer, what is maximum length of such messages, to save the space of screen. Or maybe to use its content and reformat the display style finally (what's - I'm afraid - impossible due to many languages used). Correct me.
If you use prepaid card, please send *101# code (or maybe in some other networks it is different code?), and give the answer you got from cellular network in reply.
"Creditul tau de xxx.xx EURcenti este activ inclusiv pana la dd/mm/yy"
this is how it looks on Orange romania.
hope it helps.
but there is a catch... if i have extra options(like bonus free minutes) when i dial the check credit number(*133#) i also receive a separate sms(from a different number(333) )showing me the free minutes left...
i also have a small question... do you know a good USSD program that is compatible with mio?
In Belgium with provider PROXIMUS, dial code is #121# and result is formatted as Credit: nnn.nn EUR Validite dd/mm/yyyy
Vodafone Germany
Dail code for Vodafone Germany is *100#. The reply is: Ihr Kontostand betraegt xx.xx Euro.
Looking forward to check out the plug-in.
I use another prog - dciBalance - and get a relult ot Today like:
"Balanse: xx$ (-0,5$) 7:34, 07.12.2007 "
where xx$ - balance, (-0,5$) changes by per day, and time\date of cheching
is dciBalance also available in english?
no dciBalance available only on Russian....
But it is not very hard to understand "how to"
Thank for comments.
I don't know the above other program with similar funtions, and I even did not tried it.
That's why my concept is stay as: to leave an original reply message in original language. This will run independently from particular country or cellular network. Certainly, I added options to change the default code *101# to whatever some user will need in some localization or situation.
Have anybody heard, that any network charges for USSD questions?
Currently, my program checks the status: on every wake up, on every midnite, and if user will check the option: on every hour. I can add more options like: after every phone call finished, or after every message sent. But... it consumes battery. I'm already under deeper tests how it works relative to battery reasonably discharging.
User can force the checking any time manually, by selecting this plugin and press Action or Enter button.
when will we see the app?
sounds very interesting. yeah, when can we see this app?
anybody know the ussd code for vodafone nz??
beta version is here
Ok. Here it is a Beta Version. It will expire on the end of year.
This is a version for PPC only (incl. VGA), Smartphone HomeScreen plugin is upcoming... Please, users of Smartphones: give your comments what you see after *101# code and how it is displayed, or similar...
After installation:
- in PPC please check, if it is marked on system Today items list
- in SP please select one of new Home SCreen style with "prepaid..." in name
or build your own Home Screen, this plugin you get with:
<plugin clsid="{6A59C93A-4B8A-46c1-873B-269E93A8CE27}" name="prepaidstatus" height="25"><background><format state="selected" bgcolor="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHT"/></background></plugin>
Changes:
- added delay of 10sec. in first checking since activate
- added delay of 5 sec. after wake up
- added icon of Settings... in default Programs folder (for future SP version)
- added destroying default notification icons (not sure if it works well in all devices, yet)
- added breaking each sentence for new line
- added "red alert", when your value is below specified limit (background becomes red and text white, do you want sounds?)
- added text "awaiting notification" while the request is running...
- added text "unresponsived" while network did not replied correctly
- reply message length limited do 200 characters
Some possible problems:
- in some devices I observe that after checking the status the phone line is not active till I use default Phone dialog next time. Not sure about it.
- in some devices I still cannot destroy the default notification icon of USSD reply, it is generated after every checking and collect together in status bar. If you use automatically checking, it will become a huge number of icons.
If you uncheck all available options for automatically requesting the status, you can always force it manually by pressing Action or tap the screen on this Today Item.
All comments are welcome and awating...
Files updated on 11 Dec. 2007
hello!
i tested it for a short while and here are first impressions.
Looks amaising, with a minor bug check the pic.
is it normal to show a red background?
A small sugestion....(from my little programing skills...) i believe it is possible to make the program search the ussd for the first set of numbers and display it, so that it will only show the credit. don't you think this will be a nice improvement?
thanks for comments. looks like the problem with "red alert". I will check and fix very soon.
I'm not sure about the concept of "first digit" because I don't know if this rule works in all languages and all network codes. I use this idea to define/determine "red alert" and maybe this is wrong.
there is also a small bug with the settings window... if you open the settings and pop up the keyboard the whole settings moves up, out of the window(first pic)
on Tele2 Sweden its *111#
gives you:
SALDO: xxx.xx Prisplan: Comviq Kontant Kompis. Kortet F n giltigt till 6/12-2008.
that is Prisplan = what sort of card you have
F n giltigt = expires day
I just updated the .cab file, small bug with "red alert" fixed.
If someone will get problem with red background and alert, please set 0 value for its limits. In this case it will not run.
To correctly upload the new version:
- uncheck this item from the list
- remove from default Remove Programs
- make a soft-reset
- re-install the new one
Strange with the Settings dialog. It's not in all my devices already.
Certainly, "last reported..." displays Today's time, and the date if it was not today.
Extend the USSD code
Is it possible to set the program for a longer USSD code?.
Meteor IE is using *#100# for their credit balance USSD code. I have tried inputing the code but it kept cutting of the last #.
ps:- nice work btw
I will try to fix. Thanks for comments.
hmm... after rechecking the settings tab, it seems that sometimes when i open settings the top bar vanishes and the whole settings prog moves up and after a couple of seconds the top bar reapears... that's what happens in the above pic....
unfortunetly i can't test the version very much because, as i told you, at every check i also receive a second sms, showing me the remaining free minutes and it is very annoing to delete them from my sms inbox...
btw, will the next version have the ussd send message balloon hidden?
Thanks for all this great work!
le: seems that most forum folks don't have prepay cards... 3 downloads so far... 2 by me
Both PPC and SP versions are now.
I just updated installation files, PPC and SP versions are available from now.
Several fixes included, also about automaticaly updating.
I'm not sure 100% about SP version, because such devices are very sensive for background proccess while the screen is going black (suspend, not like in PPC turns off). Next days will give answers if I thought correctly.
Hey guys, my first real contribution here. I was using the Cell Broadcast solution with a today plugin posted here.
I had two major issues:
1. With Manila, can not use another today plugin
2. Need to use S2U2 because waking up of device, otherwise device stays on for sometime and screen touches are registered.
I played a bit with the registry and found out that setting two keys will reliably set a string which would be used for the operator name hence changing the string in Manila, dialer, etc.
I intercepted the messages coming from "Network" and extracted the CB body, if the device has been on for less than 5 seconds, then I assume that the cause of wake up was the CB, hence I suspend the device, its working quite nicely for now, will need your feedback for a probable general working release this weekend.
To do / Known Issues:
- FIXED: One key is hard coded as 41006 (my operator code), need to get it from phone. Otherwise ask user for it.
- Configurable from field, "Network*" is hard coded for now.
- Autostart using Init registry
- Hide / Remove UI
- For now UI shows incoming CB messages, power events, time difference between power on and message incoming for deciding to suspend or not.
Hello. I did search on this topic too. but did not find anything else that you do. but exactly what does not work. I got a newer version? thanks
I have a Touch 2 and ported my old telephone number when switching mobile providers. The phone still shows the old number in a few places such as SIM Manager, and in Settings>Personal> Phone.
Where is the number held, and how can I change it?
Thanks
Kevin
I think you might have to reset your phone and/or remove the sim temporarily. But i've only had experience with non phone versions of Windows. Someone else may be able to give you a better answer.
try open sim manager and go in menu->tools-> list your number (menu tools is not visible without gesture from down to up). In this menu you can change number
Hi,
I have issue while using the USSD code. For example for my network operator (Maxis), normally i type *100# then call, i can view all the options available in full, but for G2, it only display few lines or partial of the screen only... i really cant figure out why.
Can anyone here give me advise?
thanks!
I've just attached the screen of my USSD problem. (incomplete screen)
