@all,
whenever i am using the phone my ear touches on the gprs button in the taskbar on top. this starts the connection dialogue and the mdac is about to connect via gprs.
i know i can delete all setup connections, but is there a way to get rid off the button?- like with the screen rotate button at the bottom via a registry entry?
any idea anybody?
thanx
got the same problem here... but it usually doesnt connect... annoying yes i know but i dont think its fixable.
howdy,
found toggle start by vijay555 on his homepage. does something close to solve our dilemma: makes the whole start taskbar disappear, thus also the start button. got into contact with vijay to see if he has an idea concerning only the gprs button.
wait and see
Guys, AFAIK, unfortunately, the GPRS icon is displayed by default by the OS. I don't think it can easily be removed without some deep level hacking of the OS. A relatively easy solution would be to display something else on top of it, like a useful clock or battery icon, or memory usage icon etc... is that an option?
V
@vijay,
thanx a mil for your prompt reaction. In case you are dying of boredom one day, would be nice to see what you can do with deep level hacking!
thanx again

now if wisbar, which i do noit want to use, can disable the gprs icon, there must be somebody who knows how wisbar does it.
please, any clues?

Hi,
I never really use GPRS and therefore it would be handy to gain the extra space in the title bar my removing the 'G' icon. Does anyone know how to remove it.
Cheers
Andrew
You can download wisbar advance from lakeridesoftware.com, you MUST download the Beta version from the forum as the version from the main download section doesnt work with windows mobile.
This enabled you to not only choose what is in your status bar, but also allows you to skin your taskbar.
Looks brilliant.
You don't say what XDA you have, but try GB-SOFT's GPRS tweak control Panel at http://www.pdagold.com/software/detail.asp?s=265
The product home-page is at http://www.gb-soft.cz/XDAII/product_gprs_tweak_en.htm, but was down when I checked just now.
What normally happens, is that the XDA checks for GPRS network availability at boot time.
The utility allows you to tweak a few settings, one of which is the ability to turn off checking for GPRS until you actually *use* it, which should take that G away.
Thanks for the replies.
p.s. I've got a i-mate jam.
In my Qtek 2020i.
After the installation of some software. The Icon In the Bar of Today Screen for changing the mode from Portrait to Landscape are disapeared.
Some Knows how I can recovery It.
Thanks for all,
Uninstall the software and it comes back...
I had the same with PPCProfiles-Pro...lost the icon after installing. Removed it, the icon came back. It's a shy thing that icon, it's done it before too.
Cheers
Ant
Ok, but I don't Know what of the software that I have Install in the pocket is the cause of them.
I would like to Know, If there a key in the registry that do this action.
Thanks,
Yes please could someone confirm weather or not there is a reg key/tweak/hack for the XDAIIi as the sreen icon dissappearing 'trick' is really annoying.
Would greatly apprecaite a reply soon,
LydaiChris
if you search for 'landscape' in the registry you'll find the solution.
In HKLM\System\GDI\Rototion there is a dword key called 'HideOrientationUI'. Set it to zero to unhide/reenable it.
STILL NO LUCK
Can you suggest anything else?!?!?!?
It seemed to dissappear as soon as I increased the glyhe reg hack
Remove the SPB Software, I believe it is PocketMon or Space Saver
S
if it disappears again then there is a tool active which wants to mess with that registry key. I've tried that SPB tool also and it made my landscape icon disappear indeed, as some other tools... so get rid of that tool cause the landscape icon is far more useful.
Hi.
When I first got my XDAIIi, I did a corporate install.
What is SPB ?!?!
Is that anything to do with the o2 software cd that comes with the XDAIIi!? i.e. the GPRS montor, ZIP etc... !??!
Is there another reg hack anyone?!? :?:
Or a piece of software that actually resolves the problem!?
I would greatly appreciate a reply,
Lydiachris
the spb grps toold doesn't conflict with the landscape on the xdaIIi, I've kept it running and it didn't cause any issue.
The only option where it is specified for the landscape icon to be viewed is in the registry key as mentioned earlier... dig the registry.
If then, the icon disappear still not appears or keeps disappearing, as that registry key rightfully specifies the icon's being, then it has to be other (additional) software which prevents it from appearing, e.g. the option to prevent the icon from appearing once the additional program built-in/in is loaded.
Try uninstalling the corp. lot and reinstalling what is necessary I'd say.
as to the fact which application messes which with the icon... at least a few for sure, and as I recalled from tryouts I an spb tool did mess with it.
-scuzi mi errata, pero soy humana-
Is there a program which should be in StartUp to make this work? I checked the registry key (I have the same problem) and it is set to zero, which the previous posts seem to suggest means it should display.
Maybe it has something to do with "Today Timout" ?!?!?
Mine is set to 4 hours.
Does anyone know what the Today Timeout actually does!??!?!
Cheers,
lydiachris
ps. yeah is there any software we can shove in the startup folder which will keep the icon there?!
Sort of solved for me
I removed a bunch of "no longer used" programs last night and the icon mysteriously reappeared after a couple of soft resets. Wierd.....
Yeah but does anyone know what the Today Timeout option does?!?!?!
I ahve searched long time in this forum and cannot find it anywhere!!!
If you leave the device off for longer than the today timeout, you will get the today screen when you switch it back on, otherwise you will get the last application used
Hi There.
is there a way to show an icon for when bluetooth is enabled? I don't have an icon ... is there a registry seeting for it?

redjupiter

I use the small icon for the connection settings to check if BT or WiFi is ON in my EXEC. I was just wondering, what you use that icon for since you were all looking for a BT Icon?

The icon allows you to avoid a few screen taps to change the bluetooth setting. Plus it's a visual indicator of the bluetooth status, without relying on a flashing light... Hope that helps!

Thanks for the response. Some more questions please, where exactly will this BT Cab File show the icon? Is it on the Today screen or the icon tray below?

As many have said. You will also need to soft reset to see it. It will also show (besides avoiding taps) whether you are connected or not (another icon next to it will show a live link. Extermely useful. I have a bluetooth car kit and sometimes will not connect and no way for me knowing without tapping few times. This will show me a live connection has been established.

After being ticked off about not being able to turn on GPRS like we could on WM2003, you know tap on the "G" and select turn on GPRS or something like that. I have since been on a restless pursuit to find a simple and small program to take care of this...Well my search has ended, here is that small (4.5kb) program. Just copy to programs and create a shortcut to the today screen or if using wisebar even better..Once their just tap (make sure phone is on). It will connect to GPRS and also tell you your IP Address....Enjoy
"VJVolubilis -gprson" might provide an alternative with some other functionality thrown in as well.

Any feedback...working well for everyone?????
Perfect!!!!!
Just what I needed! And easy to get working!
Thanks man!
Frode
I assigned the voice recorder hardware button as GPRS.exe by PQz2 （http://www.nicque.com/PQz/）.
It's great convinience!
Thank you!
When you say "Programs", which folder do you mean? Can you please specify the path. There are 2 "Programs" folder.
If you want it to show up with all your regular programs then place it in
windows/start menu/programs. Otherwise you can put it anywhere if you
are using Wisebar or a program like Ilauncher.
If I turn GPRS ON using this program, how do I turn it OFF?
you can turn it off via comm manager or just tap the connected icon in the menu bar and then tap disconnect. nothing changes you just turn off like always....
@cktlcmd
you also can switch off the gprs connection by pressing the red telephon key for about 3 seconds.
Wolfgang
VJVolublis -grpsoff or -gprstoggle can also do that. Although pressing red is faster

Perfect, thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for, for use with PocketPuTTY. I especially like the fact that it tells you your new IP.
How do you put a shortcut on the Today Screen?
How do you put a shortcut on the Today Screen?
Is there any application that makes putting bluetooth toggle as today plugin possible in WM5 ????
Please Help !!!
Maybe Like This One -->
Thanks in advance
download and install batterystatus. Very easy to find as it is all over this forum. Go to the options and select the Tray Launch Tab. You will be able to add bluetooth,wi-fi,phone, as well as many other options to the tray at the bottom of your screen.
this should work
found this somewhere, i have it installed and it works good.doesnt take up much space either.
As an alternative, Vijay codes up a bunch of really handle utilities, and one (VJvolubilis http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJVolubilis) can toggle BT. Then all you need is a today screen shortcut to his prog with the right suffix. cLaunch should do it if you want it on the today screen instead of the tray, or even create a drop-down menu controlled by a hard key with something like WM5NewMenu. All these are free, but I'm sure the developers would love a donation!
Theres a registry hack on ppcgeeks that enables that and wifi on your today screen if I find it i'll post it
BT on today-you find it???

I have been searching for this for a while now. I have started using phone weaver and turned everything else off but BT. See cab and thumbnail. In thumbnail look in bottom right corner of today screen for activated BT! I would like this to happen without running Phone weaver, seems to take up a little more memory than I would like for this type of app, but it works great and I am happy with it. Just what I wanted, if I could actually get rid of the few little icons to the left of the BT I would be VERY happy thats my main gripe here...
Cheers!

ciclebt.cab.... and assigne to hardware button. or use as app via applauncher programs.
You can use btIO-mini (see attached file). In this zip there are 2 files.
I made this for 2 reasons. The first is to have a quick toggle via HTC Home integration, and the second ist to be able to turn on/off BT via voice command.
1. bluetooth.lnk -> put this in your \windows\startmenu\program files\ folder
2. btIO-mini.exe put this in \program files\btIO\
3. Make a shortcut from your favorite launcher today-plugin to btIO-mini.exe
Make a softreset, after that you can use voice command to turn on/off bluetooth.
There is no visible indication, like pop-up or message box that tells you which state BT is. The program just looks in which state BT is and if it's off it turns BT on in connectable (invisible) mode, and if it's on it simly turns BT off and exits.
So this is not exactly what you asked since it is not a today plugin but maybe it will help you.
Cheers
EDIT: Be warned! The program icon is ****ing ugly. Will have to find a better one...
Thank you guys for your response ....
But I'm asking about the plugin in the attached picture ...
