I used to turn wi-fi on/off by tapping on the "network" indicator(usually a G sometimes U) located at the top if the screen left of the signal stregth and tapping on the Wi-Fi:Off when the little ballon popped open. I installed HTweakC and now instead of W-Fi:Off/On it say's "Wireless Manager" How do I get the On/Off button back under the notification. The same is true when I tap the signal strength icon. Where it used to say "Turn on Flight mode" it now says "wireless manager" How do I get the "Flight mode" option back.
I tried uninstalling HTweakC and to no avial.
Thx
Joe
Been looking all over with no answer.....anybody help me out.
I tried all the settings in HTweakC and even un installed it, and that wireless manager option is still there, so it either is a rom feature or a registry setting.

Two things I'd rather not mess with...guess I need to hard reset and reinstall everything....
I finally did a hard reset and restored everything from scratch. Then I found the correct registry setting right here in the Hermes Wiki in the "Show Network Operator Name in today screen" If you "Enable clicking on the today plugin above open Comm Manager" it also changes the settings for the icons at the top of the screen. Guess you can't have it both ways. I really like turing on WiFi from the top Icons instead of going into the com manager every time. Oh well, least I found where the problem was.
I am hoping, nay, praying, that the above solution works on my newly upgraded Windows Mobile 6 xda. It's the one thing that's driving me round the bend; I hate having to go into the wireless manager every time I want to connect or disconnect wifi.
Many thanks for finding this!!!

Just slide the keyboard open so the bottom row is visible, hold the alt key (the coloured dot at the bottom left corner of the keypad, if you're holding the phone as you would if the keyboard was fully out) and press the OK button - that'll enable/disable the wifi.
I never use the Comm Manager for enabling or disabling wifi when hardware buttons do the job very nicely!

Hi there,
I would know if someone know how to create a shortcut for toggle wifi (activate and desactivate)
Thanks
I've read several threads/posts in these forums and it seems no-one has been able to come up with a way to do it. At the moment, ONLY the comm manager can turn wifi on/off.
pocketAlarm, has a today plugin which toggles wifi from a press of a single button on the Today screen, with some of its newest skins.
However, the feature does not work on all devices, but the list is expanding, so you might want to check it out.
Cheers.
Whats wrong with just clicking on the gprs icon and then turn on wifi ?

That still translate to four taps, not just one.
1. Click GPRS
2. Click Comm Manager
3. Click on WIFI toggle
4. Close Comm Manager (optional)

2 Clicks on mine.
Click GPRS icon on top menu bar.
Click on Turn on wifi.
Thats it !
In my T-Mobile 2.24 Extended Rom there are 2 executables, one to turn Wifi on and one turn Wifi off.
I will look them up for you tomorrow, I will post them in this thread.
Well molski can you upload the two executables please !!!
I will look if is work on my wizard
Here you go Kheops.
I tried both files and they both work perfect on my Wizard.
Thanks a lot mister Molski
have you a toggler?
Damn, those apps do nothing on mine (8125 w/Molski 2.26 ROM).
Sigh.

but there is still a problem that you must turn WIFI on for the first time after reboot, or no link will work, right? that was a problem on 2.3 i know, but the new os maybe got that fixed...
P.
check out vijay's app
Vijay555 has an app called VJVolubilis.exe which does pretty much what your looking for, as well as toggling bluetooth, etc. It has a wifi toggle feature, but unfortunatly doesn't seem to work on Wizards. However, the "wifi on" and "wifi off" work fine. Some people have reported not being able to use the "wifi on" feature after a soft reset until they manually turned on their wifi at least once. This can be fixed with a registry tweak that I'm too lazy to look up right now, however I found it previously on this forum with a search. If I have time I'll look it up and post in the morning (almost bedtime here in the U.S. Eastern Time Zone). The trick to this app is to create a shortcut with command line parameters to either turn on or turn off. I use claunch on my today screen where I have a wifi on, wifi off, blutooth toggle, and "make bluetooth discoverable" icons. These are on my "wireless" tab in claunch. Totally rocks.
Easy with SKSchema
SKSchema comes with a wifitoggle program. Of course it only works if you have skschema installed.
I couldn;t find one that worked the way I wanted, so I ended up using PhoneAlarm.
Okay, so I have a weird issue, and I've been searching and searching all day here at work, and can't find any info on it. When I flashed to Open Touch 5.3 biggy, everything worked great. ....but, after a soft reset, I noticed something changed. When I first loaded the os, I could go to Start, and then select programs and it would tile out to the right. Now, after the reset, when I select start, and programs, it goes to the big icons page, but doesn't tile out to the right. I'm not sure if I'm explaining it right, but you could see how it's hard to even look up info on how to change it back so menu's will tile over. Any help would be appreciated.
The Program that Allows for the menu style Start menu is Called Quick Menu Look for it in your windows folder. when click on it there it open. then look for the "quick menu" item and click option. check your settings there and make sure it is set up to start on system start.
Hope that helps

Man, this is driving me insane. Quick menu is in the startup folder, and when I run the program, and look at the options, it is checked to start when system starts....but every time it goes back to the normal icon page. Even after a restart, it does the same thing. What could I be doing wrong??? Ahhhhh!
I don't know if this makes a difference, but I do have HTC Home Customizer installed.
Did you noticed if "replace system's start-menu" was checked or not... might want to also check it see if "register win key of device" is checked also...
if that doesn't work might want to try and reinstall the program again.

Yeah, I tried all those, and made sure everything was selected. I read somewhere about some weird issues with batterystatus and quickmenu. I think if you have the processor speed selected to show, somehow this messed with quickmenu. I ended up flashing back to a different rom and it works fine. It was just strange though.
Just extract the nowifinotif.exe file and copy to \Windows\StartUp on your device and perform a soft reset.
It works on my HTC Touch Pro, I'm assuming it will work for any HTC device or possible any WM6 device.
Let me how how it works, and what device your using.
Disabling the notification will work on my device, however after each soft reset they are back. This will fix that issue
This is a standard setting...unless you are trying to do something different.
Settings->Sounds/Notifications
Wireless networks in the dropdown.
Uncheck all of the notifications.
yes, i know it's a setting under notifications.
this is for all the people like myself where that setting doesn't hold. when i soft-reset my device the notifications would come back and i would have to disable it every time. I have bumped into many posts about it with no fix. this is that fix.
Gotcha, that's cool. I've never seen it not stick but that would be a crappy problem.
Nice work on the fix.

Wow for song long i have been annoyed about the wifi popup notification, i knew about the setting but assumed it did nothing, not that it worked but didnt stay
Your app works spot on, is there anyway to still have the sound alert enabled (sonar or something), but just disable the onscreen notification?
Sure
Sure here you go, it assumes you have the file \Windows\Alert-Sonar.wma
and plays that sound when a network is detected. If you don't have that file just rename or create one with that name and put it in your windows directory.
If you are still paying attention to this thread, I would appreciate advice
Hi,
I have a new HTC 6800.
I would LOVE for the file posted as the solution to work for me as I have the same problem with popping up notifications.
However when I installed the file and did a soft reset I get this message:
The program is from an unknown publisher, running it can possibly harm your device do you want to continue?
When I click "yes" I then get this message:
Unable to run the file nowifinotif the certificate is invalid
Ugh. Is there anything that I can do to get the file to run?
thanks!
Oh snap - another solution just found
OK,
Nevermind my last question - another solution was just found.
This model has a side button to turn on/off the wi-fi - who knew! Well, mobiletechreview.com, thankfully!
"don’t fret: slide the Wi-Fi slider on the left side of the Mogul to turn Wi-Fi on. "
So, I'll just turn the Wi-Fi off unless I actually want to use it, which eliminates the constant notifications. Whew.

Hi Chet,
Thank you for your solution! How does it work?
Also, any idea what causes the issue in the first place?
Thank you,
Jeff
Good idea, I've read a number of posts about this, but have assumed it was a GSM phone problem. Could anyone confirm what phones have the problem and which don't?

I don't know exactly but I've been using it myself for a while with no problems. I'm guessing it writes changes to the registry keys that control wifi notifications.
The problem is likely to be that some process is writing some other changes on each soft reset. That's my guess anyway.
How it works
Yes your correct, I don't know why it happens only what's happening and how to fix it.
When you disable the notifications under settings on your device it changes the following values under the following registry key.
HKEY_CURRENTUSER\ControlPanel\Notifications\<"SOME GUID"> with the ".DEFAULT" value = to "Wireless network detected".
after you soft reset your device this registry setting gets reset for some reason.
The other values under this key are:
"Options", "AvailableOptions", and "Wave".
Options is what kind of notification is currently assigned (none, sound, popup, ect)
AvailableOption is your choices of what you could pick from
And wave is what sound will play if enabled.
My program just sets this value back at startup. I can post the source code if anybody actually wants it, but yeah I have no idea why it's happening.
Thank you, Chet. That helps me understand a little more.
no problem
Works for me
Chet,
Thanks, works for me. Small problem, but very annoying.
I've found a few other boards with this question, and I've pointed them here.
http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/message?board.id=cingular&message.id=114943&jump=true
Yeah it's an anooying bug. As a workaround I just made a .WAV file with no sound (just 1 second of silence) and assigned that one to the WLAN detecten notification. Works also
What About Other Notifications
Chet,
That was great. But I've noticed almost the same thing happens for "new email" and for "Reminders".
For both of those, I have "display message on screen" unchecked, but the phone still displays the message onscreen. However, in this case, the boxes remain unchecked after reboots.
Have you noticed that HTC's TF3D interface displays a callout box (cartoon quote) for the on screen reminders in the header, so that if I get new email and a calendar appointment, or some other reminder like an SMS or missed call, I get a "callout" box shaped notification at the top of my screen. Now, I get curious as to what the message is, so I click it. TF3D then opens their "easy icon view" screen, on which a bigger callout box is one of the buttons. I click that, and the standard MSFT tiny icons appear at the top of the screen again for "new email" and some other useless reminder like "Mtg at Johns". I need to click these tiny reminders, one at a time, then view the display message on screen, then click the soft "dismiss" button. Is this an easy way of handling reminders that I didn't want in the first place. @#$# HTC and MSFT!!
Any ideas?
This sounds great! I have a Fuze (with TAEL ROM) and this has been annoying me for a while. I suspect most people don't see it because they have wifi turned off most of the time. In my case, it's always on as I don't have a data plan
I have had my TD2 since it's release in the UK about a month ago. Since then I have loaded various bits of software, some have worked and stayed....many didn't and have been binned!
I have just noticed that at some point the task manager icon on the top right hand side of the today screen (next to battery meter) has gone!! I have tried a soft restet with no luck.
Has anyone noticed this behavior before, and if so is there a way to get it back without hard reset?
Thanks in advance guys
have you tried going back to task manager and checking the 'enable quick menu on today screen' in the button tab?
I noticed when i tried using Quickmenu app it unchecks this option

Many thanks! I was constantly going back to task manager to check for open programs, and never spotted that check box!!
If you can't find an answer to a problem on xda developers, you won't find it anywhere on the web.....htc should sponsor this site!!
Thanks again
Hi guys, i just flash rom 2.53 sense 2.5.. lst task manager quick menu, the tick option seem not to be in task manager would you please show me where its is now?
Same here, where can I find that box to activate? It`s very annoing not to have this!
Thanks!

This is the task manager with that setting.
Is there a way to do this? I'm running NRGZs latest Titanium flavored ROM. However each time I get a new email or text message, I get a pop-up window informing me that there's something I need to review.
The whole point of installing the Titanium build was so that I didn't have to deal with any of the HTC menus ... guess I was wrong
Is there an app that can help me accomplish what I want?
ps: I see 2 buttons in the "utilities" menu: "Notification Manager On" and "Notification Manager Off", these however do not seem to help me achieive what I want.
I want my meeting reminders to be indicated via the default WinMo style not via the htc notification
i get a Notification after is send a message so annoying
No problem - Open Task Manager, go to Services (top right drop down menu), and disable "HTC Notification manager", then soft reset.

Unfortunately that did not work. While I was able to disable the service, when I turned on "notification on the screen" option and performed a test, the notification window was not native WM6.5 but rather 'manila-like'.
Could it be that this was just cooked into the ROM and there's nothing I can do about it?
