When I turn on bluetooth (icon in Comm manager - HTC Prophet WM6), I tick: Make visible for other devices, then I turn it OFF, then ON again and I HAVE TO GO TO THE SETTINGS AGAIN and tick it AGAIN.
It is very slow, espesialy when I want to recieve something from my friends.
I have Smart1 v3 rom. What is wrong?
Or should I use any 3rd party something (But it would probably slow down the PDA )
And second question - is it possible to save incoming files directly on the storage card?
I have this problem too. Any idea please?

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 want to use my I-Mate Jam as a PDA only. And I want to disable the phone feature so that it wont pop up all the time to ask to put in a SIM card. How do I do that?
Tap on the "no SIM" or antenna icon in the top bar. A bubble should pop up with "turn flight mode on" link. Tap it and the phone part will be disabled.
By the way are you using Jam or Jamin?
In Jamin (which is the prophet) you can also do this through comm manager (button on the left side of the device).
I am using JAM. But I dont want to enable flight mode on as I want to use bluetooth. all I want is just to disable phone feature. I want to use this device for GPS only in my car. That is why I want to disable phone only.
Well first off you are in the wrong forum. Please check the pictures (I really don't remember what the name for the JAM is, but it is not prophet).
Second, from my experience, at least on WM 5 device you can enter "flight mode" which will turn off all wireless, then re-enable bluetooth through BT manager or similar.
The phone part will stay off until you exit "flight mode".

Sorry to say that but HTC Comm Manager is really worthless !
In my previous phone (Glofiish) the Comm Manager was the master of all communications : if I disabled data communication - no app could bypass it and connect to data !
The HTC one is just a dummy !
You turn off data ... and every single app that wants to connect still can do it ! And the same goes for bluetooth too ...
Maybe even Flight Mode isn't a safe lock ?
I need a real Comm Manager that is a "firewall" and doesn't allow apps to bypass it ! If I set switches to disable data or bluetooth or anything else I don't want that apps could bypass it ! Switches in Comm Manager should be like hardware buttons ... if you turn them off no app should be able to bypass them.
Is it possible to tweak or replace the HTC Comm Manager with a "real" one ?
Thank you
Flight mode does just that, disables all radios, unless you turn the radio back on, no data connections can be made.
The On and Off buttons don't "firewall" the connection, it simply disconnects it. Why should it firewall it?? Then off the radio then if you don't want apps accessing it..

Why ? because of roaming and the so called "unlimited plans" where you can have a 150000 € surprise bill at the end of the month Also, because some ports / protocols are "unlimited" and other not ... so I prefer do forbid any data access except when I specifically request it !
I can't just off the whole radio ... because I still want voice calls.
From my point of view a Comm Manager must be in control and able to restrict access to communication hardware ... not the apps ! The comm manager, or volume manager, or generally any other manager must be an unique access point for the user to set his preferences : if I switch off data it means that I don't want any app to data connect, if I mute volume it means that I don't want any app to disturb...
Afaik it was never the case. I've always used NoData to disable connections while travelling. BsB Tweaks does that too.
Yeah, MoDaCo NoData should be what you might want. Search for it.
Yeah, NoData works great, Thank you
Just a pity it isn't integrated directly in Comm Manager
I was told by someone that had and hd2 that they could not bluetooth to another HD2. Sure enough, I tried it with another HD2 and we never found each other when we did a search. We tried for a half hour. Has anyone heard of this or know a fix (if this is truly the case)?
I had an issue with this also. We had to use multiple passwords on each TP2, it was a real pain, possible-but not easy like with the Hermes(8525). I recently found a reg edit that disables the password, but I have not tried it yet.
My wife and I ran into the same problem during lunch today. I saw this thread and then went looking for the answer.
Here's how you make the phone discoverable to other devices beyond headsets.
Turning Bluetooth on and making your phone visible
Turn Bluetooth on and make your phone visible (discoverable) when you want other Bluetooth-enabled devices to detect and connect with your phone.
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab, and then tap Menu > All Settings > Bluetooth.
2. When prompted to turn on Bluetooth, tap Yes.
3. Tap the Settings tab ( ), and then tap Not Discoverable.
4. Select Always Visible.
Note If you select Visible for 60 seconds, Bluetooth visibility will turn off automatically when the time elapses and your phone has not yet connected to another Bluetooth device.
5. Tap Done. The icon then appears in the title bar to indicate that your phone is in visible mode.
Tip To easily switch Bluetooth off or back on, tap Wireless controls on the Home Screen’s Settings tab to open the Comm Manager and then tap Bluetooth’s Off/On switch.
Your phone remembers whether visible mode was previously enabled or disabled. If you did not disable visible mode, switching Bluetooth on in the Comm Manager also puts your phone in visible mode automatically. For more information about using the Comm Manager, see Chapter 14.

I got this from the manual for the HD2 on page 209. I downloaded it from tmobile.com in the mytmobile section under support. I would attach it but the file is too large.
^^ yep its that easy been transfering files from the laptop to the phone...so easy
