I've just upgraded from a Blue Angel to a Wizard with UK O2.
The phone comes with pbs GPRS monitor, as did the Blue Angel.
But the new version doesn't seem to have the Today plug-in bit which allows the brightness, battery and a few icons to be displayed on the today screen...
Am I just being daft or is this something extra I need to get hold of?

Nothing extra. Try to turn it on in Today settings (Settings - Today). If it is not listed there, try to reinstall it or obtain newer version at www.spbsoftwarehouse.com
In response to this...can you modify what the plugin shows...I do not want the battery/brightness/mail/IE/ somethingelse bits, just the data meter only?
Any help?
Cheers

You can change this here:
Settings -> Today -> Tab items -> GPRS Monitor -> Options -> Tab Additional items
Ah nice one!
Makes me look a bit dull

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

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.
Not sure if this has been posted in the Wizard forums before but i just found this in the Universal forums and now have a new Today plugin that displays the status of my Wireless connections. It seems to work for everything except GPRS
Just add the keys below to the Wizards registry.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Wireless"]
"DLL"="netui.dll"
"Order"=dword:00000000
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"Type"=dword:00000004
For the full info on this, check the Universal forum here:

Cheers,
Chris

There is a photo in the Universal post but here's a screenshot of my K-JAM. The items only seem to activate on the Today screen when you enable the Particualr Wireless mode. As WiFi is disabled as soon as i connect ActiveSync i enabled WiFi in Comm Manager and quickly took the screenshot before WiFi was turned off, hence the unavailable status.
Note you cannot interact with this plugin. it is purely display only.
CHeerts,
Thanks puckster shows up on the list of the items list/today but not on the screen. I assume that is cuz I have no wifi connection right

When I added the entry, I had to go into the Today setting and uncheck, then re-check "Wireless" which made it appear. At a minimum you should see a bluetooth symbol that says on or off.
If you still can't get it to show up, double check the dword entries you created.
Btw - thanks for bringing this over to the Wizard forum Puckster..it's a handy little Today item.
Mine displays Carrier / Flight Mode & Bluetooth as well as WiFi status.
If WiFi is disabled it does not display on the today plugin however my Bluetooth is always displayed there even when turned off. The Carrier (Vodafone in my case) changes to Flight Mode when you enable it.
I would possibly re-check the registry keys. Also i just remembered i did add 2 extra keys to my registry that werent mentioned in the Universal thread.
I have attached a registry export of the key i created on my K-JAM so maybe you could use this as template as it works on mine.
NOTE: All of the keys are decimal dword entries except DLL which is a string.
Chris
Thanks for your help and I have rechecked everything and all seems ok. Phm reg editor can't seem to import the reg file you gave me ;(
It's nice to have the indicators...but I wish they didn't require the real estate of a whole additional Today bar. I would love to find a way to put indicators like that in the icon tray at the bottom (just above the Contacts soft key image).
this is exactly what i wanted much appreciated.
no go here, but I'm on an old, old ROM
Thanx Puckster, worked like a charm
Exactly what i was lookinf for ty again
zeeboxx:
You need to be using the new AKU2 roms for this to work
which answers "meschle"'s question - assuming he's still on 1.6.7.1
this is excellent... cheers guys!
Hi all,
i have put it in CAB file.
Regards
Have the same on Himalaya
Hi,
I running WM5 on my Himalaya and I have it by default. However, when I tap in the area, it takes me to the Comm Manager or Wireless Manager.
Same on the Wizard or should I check potential differences in the reg?
Cheers,
Hal.
yes. please check the differences. When I click on it, it does nothing.
Thanks.
Having a friend check on his PPC 6700 once he finishes the upgrade.

ammar you are the best man, I have tried all other methods. yours only worked. God bless you.
I ran ammar's cab. The Wireless box appears in my Today screen, and I tried checking and unchecking it, tried soft resets, even tried a re-install of the cab file. I have a T-Mobile MDA, and I have SPB Today Plus and PHM Traylaunch running. I'm using the black theme.
Anything else I might try?
Hello all, i would like to know how don't show the clock in WM5 taskbar
Is there a solution thanks
Go to Settings, System, Clock & Alarms, click More then tick or untick "Display the clock on the title bar in all programs" that should do whatever you want (not realy clear if you wanted it gone or not). Hope this helps.
Soryy but i have install lvtime and i want the time only on my today page and not in the taskbar on top at today page.
Well in that case I'm not to sure how that would be done. I will have a search and see if I can find anything.
Found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316416&highlight=NO+clock+in+taskbar with it you should be able to remove the clock. Hope this one works.
Ok but i don't know if it works under WM5 because i have WM5
Start -> Settings -> Today -> Date & Time? and uninstall lvmtime?
Hi tigrou85.
If you want to use LVMTime without it showing clock in taskbar all you need to do is go to Start->Settings->Today->Items, select it from the list then click 'Options...'.
On the first tab uncheck 'Show clock in taskbar'.
While you are there I recommend you look at the other tabs and check out the different options which will let you tweak the way the plugin looks to your liking.
If you do decide that the standard date / time display is suitable for you then please make sure you deactivate the plugin before uninstalling it by unselecting it in Settings->Today->Items (or the file will not be properly removed)
Finally, if you didn't get LVMTime from this site here is its "official page".
If you have any further questions or comments on this app please post them there or contact me directly via PM or email.
I m sorry i'm certainly a newbee because the date is uncheck in settings>system>clock and i have always this clock in taskbar on today screen in right top.
i don't know what else made
What phone and what ROM version do you use?
On some phones this is a permanent OS feature.
Was the clock there before you installed LVMTime?
I naturally have a prophet and my rom is 2.20.7.37french it's WM5
I have solved the prolem for cloclk but i have the same problem with battery icon now arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i become
hi there!
I tried to change the battery icon in the titlebar to the clock, as i already use vistaHide to show me the battery strenght.
strangely, altough I set the registry key, and AdvancedConfig 3.3 also confirms that it is set correctly, it still shows the battery. why o why?
thanks
You don't need a registry hack here. Simply go to START --> OPTIONS --> CLOCK --> SHOW CLOCK IN TASKBAR
d'ehre! danke
jesus, i am so used to the registry hacking crap that i wasn't even considering looking in the settings
it's the occupational hazzard we all fight with
Yeah, sometimes you miss the forest for the trees
Nice to see an Austrian in this forum.
And I'm glad that our Austrian phone operator (A1) does not mess the phone up with their branding as other operators all over the world do
yep, only A1 sim services and live! as startpage for the browser. nice.
btw. spb wireless monitor knows the A1 data plan
hi guys, this is my virgin post. I have a diamond 2 and was using it for about 2months now. recently, i realised that my battery indicator dissappeared from the top task bar. It only shows the signal, sound, and time... no more battery indicator. I have been searching for an answer but no success. have tried installing the customised battery icons contributed by you guys but no success as the battery icon still does not show.
any suggestions or help on this? much appreciated.
p.s - i was using a magincian, O2 mini and recently upgraded the ROM to the one by cortulla. it's like getting a brand new phone, though the memory on the mini sucks big time. just want to express my thanks for all the contributors. i hope i can contribute something too in future.
i realised that the down-pointing arrow on the right of the taskbar is missing too. So i am unable to view the running programmes.... can someone help me please?
The battery/time indicator is some setting in windows mobile. I don't know how to change it in windows but you can easily do it with WVGA tweak / HD tweak.
And about the program manager, it's also some setting i don't know accactly were you can find it..
Try searching in the setting tab.. then system.. somewere there should be an option about taskmanager, and then something about show on home screen / show in tray
