Hi folks,
Is it possible to have wifi and bluetooth enabled with a tap from the homescreen instead of having to use stupid comm manager for the wizard? I searched around everywhere in this discussion board, but search came up empty. Forgive me if this question has already been asked.
Many thanks.....
Best way I know to do this is use PhenAlarm (google it), takes up a little today screen real estate but its a great little app.
thanks...
i already have that software (phonealarm) and i managed to find just one skin that suits me (i.e. has bluetooth, wifi, missed calls, voicemail, however its missing the headset icon). anyhow, thank you for the suggestion, i was hoping that was a hack to it. For eg, treo 700w does have a bluetooth toggle icon on the homescreen by default.
see my thread over at hofo.

thank youuuu

hey,
thanks buddy. excatly what i was looking for. now, i just need another switch for wifi, any luck on finding that?
bittermon,
I tried your program and the bluetooth toggle works perfectly. Unfortunately the wifi toggle does not. When i try using the pre-made shortcut, it says "no compatible wifi found." When i make my own icon it doesn't do anything at all.
btw i have the cingular 8102 with the latest official rom. I also have wireless g mode activated. Any ideas?
Thansk.

Hi,
Please look at http://www.clubimate.com/ProductImages/devices/PPC_Spec_Sheet1.jpg
Here you can see a todayplugin that shows whether a bluetooth headset is connected.
Can anyone tell me which plugin this is and were to download it?
Thanks in advance
There are several plugins in that picture which one are you talking about?
The one that says 'Bluetooth headset mode enabled'.
He means the plugin for the wireless bluetooth headset. This is what i have been looking for for ages. This feature doesn't exist anymore on WM5 i think. :?

It's superb!!! As far as we cannot have a BT indicatot on the titlebar - it's somethning that resove the issue that many of us are asking on the forum...
UPDATE: I think I found it :!: Check out http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=200102 - in the middle of the page there's screen shot showing the same plugin.
I yhink your mistaken, that thread is about the pluging just aboven the headset plugin. Thats a "profile" plugin.
Greetz ET
Oh yes, You're right I havent' reaad those posts too carefully.
I tried to google a little and every device I see with this plugin enabled is i-mate - maybe it's something bulid-in into the i-mate ROM...
Let's hop some ROM-extractors :wink: & i-mate owners will read this thread!
I think thats the only solutions for the problem. Someone needs to extract this feature from the i-mate ROM and create a CAB file for us to install.
Or mayby a registry change will fix this?
So please someone help! :wink:
Greetz ET
I guess that only works if that tool also supports the wizard's hardware.
Otherwise that's useless...
That's not nescaserely true, i have been using a cab file extracted from a dell axim ROM to be able to see on the bottem toolbar the status of a bluetooth connection, and this works great, it's called BTIcon, and it's designed for WM2003(SE).
The plugin we are talking about in the screenshot is an i-mate working on WM2003. So, IMHO it might work. 8)

Does it allow toggling of the bluetooth status too? if so, could you upload that onto here, or email it to me please
I've been looking for something to do this for a while
It's freeware, so I'll share it with you guys.
Greetz ET
And this one as well.
Greetz ET
Install both programs for the best result. Assign a software/hardware button for CicleBT. Now by pressing the assigned button, the status of the BT icon on the bottem toolbar will change. On screen you get a message of the status of bluetooth.
Greetz ET
Thanks for sharing, but still it's not the plugin of the screendump.
The problem is that both bars (top and bottom) are already full of information/icons zo there is no room.
The today plugin would fit better in my situaion.
I know it isn't but in the post before the attachment somebody specifictly asked for a bluetooth toggle app. :wink:
I'm still searching for thne headset plugin though

Pressing the CommManager button and the one press on the screen is easy enough for me

With this addition, you can't actually control the action of turning BT and WIFI on and off. At least, that's how it seems to be on my wizard.

I used this on my T-mobile MDA. Which is pretty much the same as 8125. It works but with some problems.
I tried this but the wifi toggle shortcut doesnt work. It jus turns on the wifi. The bluetooth works fine though. Anyone have issues with the wifitoggle shortcut??
VJVolubilis on the Wizard isn't 100% finished yet. Read the last bit if the thread for a fix.

Last bit of which thread?
VJVolublis thread on this site. One registry entry that will start the wifi on boot up. After which, VJVolublis works properly on the Wizard.
But note I don't support the Wizard on it, I've never had one to test it on. That it works at all is serendipitous.
Use the wifion.exe file in your extended rom instead.

It may be more software that you want to install but I use PhoneAlarm. In addition to tracking phone functions it has buttons that allow you to toggle wifi and bluetooth.

I was thinkin of using phonealarm but many people say it takes up too much memory, but i may give it a try.
what are you guys using for switching profiles ?
i'm looking for a basic profiles app along thelines of ppcprofiles or phoneweaver.
unfortunately, i cannot seem to get phoneweaver to work at all - changing profiles says that the notification has changed but it never does.
is anyone else having this problem or should i blame it all on tf3d ?
thanks in advance
I always use the SPB movile shell and want more profiles too!
you could use spb phone suite. it works but imho it takes up too much place on the today screen.

i did try that and i agree - it's far too complex !
have decided upon a hard reset and retrying phoneweaver :-(

Hi there all,
you could use the Touch HD\ HTC profile manager. It can be found under the Xperia Programs, Panels and tweaks section for the Xperia. I was also looking for the same thing a while back, and found that.
hope that helps!

Can you post a link please? I can't find it and neither can the search engine.
At the moment I use SPB Phone Suite and it integrates into the Mobile Shell panel, if you don't like it on your today screen.
Sorry, my mistake... first post! Link Contained.
Here is the link to the whole thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441439
the section your after is under Touch HD utils its called volume control
Regards
Winmowgster
I dont think we are talking about the same thing? ... the volume control is just a new skin for setting the volume right? .. I think with profiles we mean like they are used in nokia phones where depending on your selected profile u ve a different ringtone, volume, message tone etc. ?
cause I d find something like this really useful .. at the moment I cant even figure out how to change the tone of when I receive a text message.
Looking at the Original Poster's request, I suggested a solution, which I thought fits the bill pretty well.
If you want to switch between silent, ring and vibrate then this does the job.
having read the request again, and googling the programs that mrdo tried, i see that i may have made a mistake. :S
The SPB Phone Suite is awesome! Well worth the dosh! Have as many profiles as you want plus automatic time or event based profile switching.

thanks for your input. i do have the touchstone volume control installed and it's very handy but i am looking for something that will allow me to switch ringtones, alerts and volumes at the touch of a button.
after a hard reset and yet another reinstall of my apps, phoneweaver still doesn't work. grrr and double grrr.
mrdo, what is the problem specifically? Is there an error on the device or do you start the application but nothing of significance appears?
I briefly tried phoneweaver and had the latter problem. Couldnt figure out whether it was running or not.
In the end I ended up giving up and going for the Touch HD simple profile manager.
I don't find HTC profile manager in that thread, can u post the direct link?

it's just a larger volume control rather than a profile manager :

I wasn't able to download the file you so graciously linked, however tha Bluetooth toggle app I used with my HD is not working on the HD2. Funny, as the wifi toggle works fine.
BTY, I uninstalled and reinstalled using the original file from my computer as well as the one in my SD card.
Anyone else have this problem?
Gentlemen, Ladies,
Please use the search option, it will serve you well - there's plenty of places this has been addressed in the Leo forums. It might even have pointed you here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5089933&postcount=8
Use an icon-changing app to give it a nice bluetoothy icon on the homescreen, I know I did. Works like a charm. Good luck.
Thanks for all, exactly what I was looking for and working flawlessly !
Hello all,
bought Snap recently and enjoying it a lot, however there are some questions I was unable to find answers for. Could you guys please advise:
Why there's no ClearType (font antialiasing) turned on by default as on my HTC Vox (s710) - how can I turn it on?
REALLY annoying - unread emails and SMS are not displayed in bold! Is there a way to turn this on via registry/smth?
Major for me - I need Russian and Spanish input languages - how can I install them? I've installed some of found .cabs but they are likely for different phones as they mess up special buttons layout;
When I receive SMS, my screen does not lighten unlike on my Vox, is there a way to change it?
I was unable to get my GPS to work. Is there a way to test it not using Google maps to understand 100% if it's just faulty GPS module?
I can't get ActiveSync USB to PC mode to work under Windows 7 - it works only after I change it to DataTransfer mode. Is it a common issue?
I would be really grateful if the group can help with at least some of the questions. Thanks in advance!
OK, I found the Clear Type registry hack but the rest of the issues still remain. Can you advise on the rest of the list, please?
Thank you.
sorry wrong post
Anybody? I can't believe there are no experts using the phone.
Hi,
First of all, I am no expert, but I can indicate you that :
- My unread messages are displayed in bold, so you got to have an option to set.
- In the profile settings, you can set the type of alarm you want for each type of message ; screen light could be one of them
- you have plenty of programs that use a GPS ; look up any WinMo GPS app on this forum, it doesn't have to be designed for the Snap (any QVGA version will do). Try this thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=522915&page=3
I guess you could you a free app, for instance Bing Maps, to test you GPS receiver.
Sync under 7 : if it does work at the en of the day, what's your problem ?
I use tomtom for GPS, works great.
Hi there, i've found a few programs that are free for GPS. I tinker with them, when I question if mine is working and one is jst a must have program. They are; QuickGPS, WMMiniGPS, HTC GPS Tool, GPS Test, and GPS Nut. Like I said they're all free programs and QuickGPS, is probably on you ROM.
Good Luck
