Hi All, is there any simple way of creating a shortcut either on the Today Screen or to a key combination to Toggle Bluetooth on and off
I currently leave it on all the time as I only need it for and hour in the morning and an hour in the evening for my earpeice, but I am about to start using WiFi a whole lot more as work now has a WiFi access point to connect to, and I think the battery usage with WiFi and Bluetooth on all day might be a problem.
BT Toggle
Check out www.vjay555.com - i think it works on the universal.
He's a regular contributor to the site - so he may be able to provide you with more details..
Yes, I use claunch with VJVolublis.
But check out member Rain, he has also made a beta today plugin to control a couple of other things as well.

Has anybody found a way to toggle wifi off/on with one click, instead of going through comm manager? Vijay' volubilis responds that "no compatible wifi found" when executed on my prophet.
Anyone? Or Vijay himself maybe shedding some light on this issue?
VJVolubilis's wifi feature has only been tested on the Universal, because that's the hardware I have. The Wizard wifi control is not perfect, because I don't have one.
I'm slowly thinking about how to try to implement a more generic wifi control, but unfortunately this is not really an OS feature, it's OEM specific, so it's something I'm still investigating. I haven't thought about the Prophet before. Let me check it out...

If you need any info (registry or what-not), let me know.
Thanks for looking into this.
vjvolubilis can be used for turning on/off wifi on prophet..
but there is one additional step to make it work..
ie after every soft reset, u need to use comm manager to turn on/off wifi 1 time. after which , u can use vjvolubilis to control it..
this issue is the same when u are using phone alarm with skins that can allow one touch wifi on/off... ie comm manager must activate it for at least once before it will respond to oneclick controls from either vjvolubilis or phonealarm..
I own a dopod818 [ singapore's version of prophet ]
Hey, I didn't know it (kind of) works on the Prophet... so it uses the same architecture as the Wizard I guess.
I'll try to think about Wifi control a little more as soon as I get a bit of time.
V
Not quite. Yes, true, I realized now that once Comm manager is employed once, Vijay's app CAN turn wifi on. But it does not turn it off, if you press wifi toggle again...
At least on my Qtek S200 with latest Dopod rom.
solved
Found a solution for this issue
Just put a shortcut to \Windows\WiFiInit.exe into your startup folder and enjoy the quickly activating wi-fi! After a soft reset this vill activate wlan for a second (green led will flash once and a wi-fi icon will appear on a place of network icon — don't worry).
But, as krale said, there is another little bug with VjVolubilis: you have to create both -wifion and -wifioff shortcuts to control wifi on Prophet because -wifitoggle shortcut does not turn off the wi-fi, it just can activate it.
When launched with -status parameter, it says that Wisard wi-fi is activated.
I've done a search, but can't find any way to get a plug-in for the Today screen where I can switch wireless, etc, on or off...
Any ideas or recommendations?
I must admit, that would be handy
Having to click the signal icons at the top of the screen, then a specific one, wait for a second for it to tell me there is no wireless connection (yes - I know! - it's becuase you went to sleep becuase I ignored you for a minute, so you turned yourself off and turned off the pigging wireless connection for me! ), and then click comms manager...
is indeed a PITA
Just found http://www.paulbdesign.com/effcomm/ which appears to work on a WM6 screen (i.e. not TouchFLO).
However it doesn't have GPRS which is my main concern as I can never tell how much data I'm using and I'm paranoid it'll be doing stuff...
I have searched the forum for a program that I think may already exist, but cannot seem to track it down.
I am looking for an application that configures the time that your 3G, GRPS, and Wi-Fi connections are active.
For instance:
I am at work from 9:00 - 5:00 and I want my 3G connection to be active.
When I get home 5:00 - 11:00 I want my 3G to be turned off and my Wi-Fi to be turned on.
During the night my connections might as well be turned off to save on the battery life.
Is there an application that does this automatically?
Thanks

Ric, I'm not sure if the app you describe exactly exists. However there is an app that will allow you to control when your radios are on and off based on GPS location.
Here is a thread from ppcgeeks that might help!
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=535126
Thanks, that's a very cool program.
I'd be quite concerned about how much battery that would use
Not quite what I'm looking for.
You need PhoneAlarm!
Make time-base profiles, and configure 3G and WiFi on/off.
[APP-REQ] "Locale" for WinMob (Programm to switch Bluetooth and Wifi on by shedule)
Already started the same thread in blackstine-specific-forum, hope u wont kill me
More people can see it now, think its also interesting for a lot of people
--->
is there a programm which can be used to switch bluetooth and wifi on by shedule or even by locating u by gps or gsm?
For example:
Monday to Friday i quit work at 18:30.
In my car I've got a bluetooth car-kit.
So the programm should just switch bluetooth on at 18:30.
19:00 I'm at home, so bluetooth should be switched of and wifi on
23:00 i go to bed and so wifi and bluetooth--->off
Is there a programm out there?
I know the programm "locale" for android which can do the things i mentioned above but it can also use gps and mobile-locating by gsm.
That would be awesome of course.
just imagine: U go to work and the programm just switches off the ringtones and sets it to vibtrate, switched off bluetooth and wifi and so one. Even if u go there earlier and so one because it locates u by gps or gsm.
So let me kno guys
Thx in advance
do yourself a favor. just install AEbuttons and assign o button a function of enabling/disabling bluetooth and wifi.
on my device i have the following setup on one of the left soft key
single press.... enable/disable wifi
double press .... enable/disable blutooth (discoverable)
triple press .... rotate screen
long press .... "launch manager" software
this setup works amazingly well for me and it really fast
there is a software that does what you want but i forgot it. you will have better luck getting an answer posting in the q/a forum.
Good Idea, will post it in Q-A forum.
PLEASE CLOSE HERE!!!!

Hi all!
I started again a new thread where i write down my findings in the MR2 release of the X2. It's originally on the Esato-forums, so i just put the link over here:

YEp, and having the phone on silent does not make things better either...
Fix
i used registry editor and changed the value of calldrop from p(play) to none.
Rene,
when you hear 3 tones after call finish - is bluetooth activated in this moment for your x2? For example, do you use BT connection to your X2 in your car (handsfree)? Do you think that there is some special requirements for BT headset using to generate this sound on main unit if call was finished?
when you see bad power consumption results - is wifi activated in communication manager in your X2? I think that if you activate wifi - it can be reason for huge additional current if unit can't find appropriate wifi network for some reason.
For example, I found that if I activate wifi - I always should connect unit to charger every day. Then I found that this is specific issue only for me. The specific way of my wifi using is followed - I use 2 different wifi connections to my X2 (on home - secured network through router and in office - open wifi network). I do have connection issues every morning in office and every evening in home. Even if my X2 reports that it's connected to office network - I can see in status bar in Today screen that it's trying to conect again and again - and also I can't use browser or Goggle maps because no data connection is available through wifi. After I power off/on my unit - it can really connect to office wifi network and I can use browser and receive mails e t.c. When I return to home, I see that unit still be connected to office network - but it's impossile. And again - I can't use browser or receive mails by using my X2. After I power off/on unit - it can connect to home network. I can't fix issues in office and in home just turn off/on wifi in communication manager - issue still be actual after this. So, what I do every day - I turn off/turn on my unit every morning after arrive to office and again power on/ power off unit every evening when arrive home So I should spent 2 minutes every morning and 2 minutes every evening to reboot unit. On other hands I think that this is step to avoid more serious issues after couple of days of Windows using - you know usially you can see performance degradation after 1 week of using of any WinMob device - looks like this is result of lot of memory leaks, memory corruptions inside MSFT SW.
if we are talking about unexpected password issue or issue when you can't unlock unit by LOCK icon sliding left or right after press on power on button - for me it looks like memory is corrupted in MSFT lock app. As result some password is requested even if user never activates this password for lock screen. But it's clear that in reality, unit doesn't story in memory any password to compare with entered one - otherwise after power off/on sequency unit still ask password from you. But as I see in the same situation with my X2 - after I remove/insert battery and power on unit - I never see again this issue just after unit goes to Idle.
I think that memory, which is used by MSFT Lock code, can be corrupted only in scope of the same Windows process (of cause if memory is isolated for all processes in WinMob - I hope it's true) - so only other MSFT code can corrupt this memory. Do you know about any public forum where we can ask help from MSFT to see in this issue? I never see that Aaron wrote anything about any contacts in MSFT - but I think that MSFT should be also responsible for any product if Windows logo is applyed to device with WinMob?
To reduce the probability of this issue I never use AutoLock and always lock unit by click on Lock icon in Today panel or by long press on right HW kwy (with key sign).

IT WORKED!!!
thank youuu
wifi
Hi! I have a similar issue with the wifi that PanichUS described.
The phone sees the network, tells that it's available, but I am not able to connect to it (so I can not do internet browsing, read the emails, etc.)
This happened to me while switching from one network to another, which were in two different places (and the phone was showing the network still available of the place I have already left). But in my case rebooting the phone did not help.
This is not the only case. The same thing also happens to me after I use bluetooth. The phone is connected to the wifi network (I could do internet browsing, etc.), I use bluetooth, and after that I can no more recover the connection. Again it shows that the network is available, but I can not connect to it.
The only thing which helped by now was restarting my house router.
Is the MR2 the last release of the firmware by date? I have bought my phone recently, and for me it seems that it was updated: I have radio, and the theme with grey background (X2 Titan) was activated in the very beginning.
MR2 is last update for X2. Don't wait another update.
Try turn off Wifi in Communication manager before power off and turn on Wifi back in Communication manager after power on.
Wifi
I have discovered that in fact I don't have problem to connect when using an open network, while with the protected one is always an issue.
Reboot of the phone doesn't change anything even if before doing it I switch off wifi in the connections manager and delete all the settings. Nothing - only reset of the router what helps.
I also tried to use other software (Wifi Monster) - the same thing.
The phone is really wonderful, it really has it's spirit with all these panels and generally the interface, but the wifi issue is really annoying!
My advice - don't install Resco Photo manager on X2.
Great app but works very bad on X2.
I instaled older version Resco.Photo.Manager 7.03. This work good.
Wisbaradvance 4.05 is verry unstable,problems and problems.
