Hi,
This may be a generic piece of software but I'll post it here becuase the TyTn is the device I want to use it on...
Is there a piece of software available that will switch on and off bluetooth at a specified time?
If not, would somebody with some programming knowledge be able to write this?
The idea behind it is that - say you travel to and from work at a specific time - say 8am -> 8:30am and 5:30 -> 6pm - you would'nt have to keep switching bluetooth on and off in order to connect your mobile to a headset...
Cheers

Auto switching..
Have you tried PocketZenPhone?
it may be what you are looking for..

Phonealarm has an option to schedule profile changes at specific times and within each profile, one of the settings available is to switch bluetooth on/off. You can also specify to run a program of your choice upon profile change as well.
TyTn is PocketPC bassed not SmartPhone bassed so it dosn't have profiles as such...so don't think that'll do it...
Phonealarm is a program which gives your profile functionality on a PPC device.
My phone is a Vario II (aka HTC Tytn).

I'd better have a look at it then!!!
Yeh, it is worth a look, it is a great program
I really missed having profiles when I switched from standard phones to PPC devices which is why I bought it.
If you click on the link on my first post it will take you to the developers home page.
I'm using SKScheMa from the SKTools folk.
http://www.s-k-tools.com/
It works fine to schedule all sorts of stuff on/off, including soft reseting in the middle of the night, running clean up utilities at 6am etc..
It's also got some neat (if quite complicated) scripting capability but there are one or two pre-canned scripts that you can assign to buttons like 'Toggle BT' ...
Works for me...

is it possible to use this to get ActiveSync via bluetooth to start automatically when I come in range of the bluetooth on the PC? I do all my synching with BT, but it is a pain in the butt to have to manually start the process every time
yeah - I know what you mean... so as far as I know, it's possible to create a script to switch BT on, then start an App (such as Activesync)... you can even script it to emulate stylus 'clicks' etc.. now the only trick may be having to start the script (for activesync) depending on a connection being available ... but there is some capability called WATCH which is supposed to watch for certain events etc...
So, have I done it myself ? no...
Is it possible ? it certainly looks like it..

Hi lsainsbury,
I would also give PocketZenPhone (mentioned above) a try. From experience I have personally found it better than Phonealarm for switching profiles etc...
From what I remember PhoneAlarm has other features which I was not interested in. PZP has many features for customizing notifications etc...
I am sure others will disagree but this is my opinion.
Guess you have nothing to loose by trying it, right?
Tried both, pocketzenphone is the best IMO....its only missing ONE thing which is automatic profile changing via cell id.
(as you can see by my new topic) Phonealarm seems to have problems with the TyTN from my experience anyway!
Hi, I'm a developer wanting to write an app/today plugin. Do you have any request?
Yea I've wanted this for long time and hope you make it for me. Program that like the watch beep or vibrate 30 min or hour and not turn the screen on?? so I can tell time without pulling the phone out.
Thanks for the opportunity, I was thinking about asked here.
Today plug in for Last call and Running Program as in O2 Plus. Both are nice features of O2 Plus but sadly hacked version has lot of issues to run on wizard and it's big prog to install only for those plugins. Thanks.

I'd love an app that would allow you to get notifications of email that goes into folders other than inbox. Currently, there's no way to do that, and there are no rules you can set like in desktop Outlook to inform you when a message goes into one of those folders.
Hi Kartam, I use claunch, you can see it in my avatar there, I would love to be able to finger scroll the launch icons to the left or the right to quickly get to all my apps, configurable icon size of course. Outside of the today screen a finger friendly file browser is definitely waiting for development, something that has the look and feel of pocketCM but shows your files instead of your contacts, complete with favourites and filters for stuff like music videos or documents. It should also allow users to set a default action on selecting any given item.
funger friendly alarm clock?
Hi,
how about an alarm clock with numbers like a telephone pad, so you can easily type in the wake up time (regular cell phones allow this). I tried all sorts of commercial products, they are not good (snowtime, spb time, etc...)
Or how about a modern version od "pPod"? :-D
Good luck with all your programs!!

Mine's rather Simple!!!!
...or at least I think it it should be.
All I want is an app (preferably that sits on the today screen) that can toggle the network selection between automatic, roam only, and home only.
Sometimes I need to roam to hold a proper signal, and in those places I like switching my phone to "roam only". Then, when going home, I switch it back to automatic network selection. Problem is that this is buried in many menus and takes several clicks to switch. Its a pain to do this 2x a day.
what do you think?
I actually think you may be able to do that with MortScript, I could've sworn I saw a script that did something similar on HoFo or another forum with one that did almost exactly what you described, but it might've been the WiFi radio in conjunction with a GPS puck...or something
I have multiple application using GPRS. My problem is that all those application are not using tha same APN (not sure of the name, I mean different GPRS connections). Each time I need to use one application or another I need to go to the parameters, change my setting click multiple times on OK.
It would be great (at least for me) to have an application on the today screen which permit to select the correct APN.

What a great age we live in when a completely touch screen digital music player is not considered as modern!
Haha, you got a point there, touché :-D
What i meant was a more modern pPod skin (maybe more skins to choose from...?), a playlist manager of some sort (so you dont have to browse through all kins of folders until you find your mp3s), slightly bigger buttons, ....
I love the design and the simplicity of the pPod though, just a little tweaking would be cool. And yes, i did also try mortplayer and HTC audiomanager, both great programs, but both programs are too big for just playing music (in my opinion)
Actually a great program would just be a hack to have HTC Audio Manager use the ID3 Number tags to sort music instead of Alphabetical
Re the new ppod program - that'd be great - I've been refreshing the iphone media player thread like nothing on earth - cant wait to see what that turns out like... the HTC hack would be good tho.

Hi!
You can make a little program for me??
Here you can find a little CAB http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=49265&d=1188921933
They copy to the Windows folder a little executable, copy into StartUp folder a shortcut to it, and add few registry-entries....
Well, this program don't have any interface, simple start when device start...
The target is "improove" the quality of A2DP transmission (audio over bluetooth)
BUT, when this service running, the battery quickll drain!!
You can make a simple app (like a GUI) to enable/disable it??
To enable = write few registry-entries and copy a shortcut to the StartUp folder, then softreset the device
To disable = remove the same registry-entries and remove the shortcut from the StartUp folder, then softreset the device
Can you create an application that will let my Hermes roam the floor vacuuming!?
a2dp stereo auto enable
can you write (or is there out there) an app which enables the a2dp pairing with a bt headset so the stereo is enabled by default when the headset re-establishes a connection.
currently (for me) if i turn loose the pairing, ie if I charge the headset, then turn the headset back on for a2dp. I have to run the bt settings in control panel and click 'set as wireless stereo' on the headset.
note the phone headset is enabled straight away when it is powered up.
thanks
left/right scrolling today screen plugin
this would be a sweet today plugin....
Location based profile changer
Hi, I recently acquired an HTC Wizard, and really love the device. I'm a quick learner, and have been tinkering with it to make it perfect for me.
It has WM5, and while I know it is recommended to flash to a rom from here, the fear of bricking is too much, even though I know it is safe.
I've installed the following onto it:
PocketNester
Macromedia Flash Player ActiveX (is this necessary btw?)
KevTetrus
SP Time Sync
Burt iContact
Ilium Software Tipster
Aspecto Software WiFiFoFum2
Corner-A PDA Status
Weatherbug Direct
Google Search
Spb Tech WMP Skin
MS .NET CF 2.0
Google Maps
Microsoft Live Search
As the phone I acquired was 2 years old, I noticed the battery couldn't seem to hold a charge, so I bought a new one.
However, the new battery doesn't seem to fair much better...I kept the phone in my pocket, unused but on, and it ran down from 100 to 40% in 8-9 hours, is this normal?
I keep the WiFi off unless I'm using internet, and I have the screen turn off after 10 seconds. Are there any other power-saving recommendations, or concerns? I noticed this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2508856&postcount=5
and I'm going to try the power tool.
Power test results back:
Battery stayed at 100% until it read 99% at 44:06.
It went to 98% at 48:06 and 97% at 54:07, where it remained until the test was over.
What does it mean?
Hi,
It means your battery is fine.
But wich helped for me to stop the power drain was setting the active sync to manual:
1. open active sync on your ppc
2. tap options and add a server
3. give some dumy information (false address, username, and pass)
4. if you're done tap options again and press schedule (or something like that)
5. set both dropdown boxes to manually and save the settings.
6. close active sync from taskmanager
You still can use active sync by connecting to pc, but when not connected, the active sync won't start automatically. you can also search for some tweaks for PPC using google.
There you'll find some egistry tweaks (you can enter registy using a 3rd party registy program)
With many tweaks and the active sync trick, I could use my htc wizard for 3 days without charging (I must admit that I'm not calling much, witch uses much power)
I hope this will help you
Good luck!
I don't think I see anything in your current lineup that requires a flash player. I'd ditch it, unless you plan on playing flash media on your Wiz.
I'd also ditch the time sync. You can sync time every time you sync your phone with a computer, so unless your phone's clock is WILDLY inaccurate, I wouldn't bother with the extra junk on the phone.
Aside from that, I'd recommend Total Commander CE. It's a file manager and has built-in registry editing, built-in ascii editing, built-in zip file management, and and FTP manager. Best free tool I ever installed.
Oh, and for the record, there's a reason why HTC never ported WM6 to the Wizard. It's a slow processor and an old phone, and even though you can overclock it easily enough (search for OMAPClock Plus), it will dramatically affect battery life if you do so, never mind the risk of damaging the processor and possibly perma-bricking your phone.
That said, many have had success with overclocking and loading WM6. Your mileage may vary, however. Consider the friendly warning before you proceed. Also, see this post. It's a good bet your next question will be answered by this post, especially if you're a ROM junkie "in the making."

That's impressive, I'm curious as to specifically what tweaks you used.
The ones I've found useful thus far are changing the location of Temporary Internet Files to storage, allowing PIE to navigate with the directional, and adding time sync Tab to Phone Settings.

You misread my post, I said I have no interest in changing my ROM, or overclocking.

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاتهis it only for changing the profile or it can do more
thanks !! for your time to make it happen any how.
awesome, I was designing this kind of application myself..
But this looks nice, I will look at the source and see if my style matches yours. If so I think I'd like to help develop.
This could duplicate (and more) the functionality of Wifilocations (also on xda-developers), but more than just turning on/off the wifi and bluetooth!

i don't think so, anyway i'm planing to implement alot of new features.
let me know if you have any specific request.
I've been wondering when WM would get to have something like this. About 3yrs ago, I played with a similar program on my Nokia S60 phone. It worked pretty good. When I went to the conference room I could have the phone memorize that location and it would put my phone to silent. And so on. Thanks for your interest and work on this. I look forward to testing it out!

i will be including some more stuff in it soon
I use Wifilocations, but I find it somewhat unreliable with the cell-readout (but perhaps it's me). Anyway, I will give your application a try. I will mainly use it for turning on/off Wifi anyway.
I have a few questions though:
What is the polling frequency?
Is there a special -hide autostart option?
What is going to be different from Wifilocations?
Thx for your work!
Best, danckel

in the future, this application will have alot of features,
it will have a default profile (Unknown Location Profile) which will allow you to set your default setting when you are not in a known area.
also it will have options to prevent from stopping bluetooth and/or wifi if a call is on going (to prevent a BT Headset from disconnection or to prevent Wifi incase of VOIP call).
some more features will be there and whatever you have in mind can be implemented.
the polling time will soon be an option to set i think now it is set to 30 seconds (i'm not sure about the timer settings), the software automatically polls the cell id when a major event happens (add new location or edit one for example).
but i'm concerned about one thing, is it consuming battery?!
i didn't notice anychange in battery life or performance of the device. can you please confirm this?
thanks all for your support.
Didn't test it yet, but I'll suggest you add:
launch an app (sequence)
send predefined sms
connect to A2DP receiver
go to flight mode (cinema, hospital, plane)
turn off GSM part (bad or no coverage)
antitheft actions / lock the phone (when it leaves a specified location)
-> maybe this can be done with just running another app
How accurate is this ?
Cheers
Good Job ,, Well Done ,,
mmm ,, also I suggest to search for another products to collect more ideas to rich your software ,,
You can test this software I'm really using it ,,
http://www.handango.com/catalog/ProductDetails.jsp?storeId=2218&productId=246582
it has many ideas that you can include in your software ,,
also ,, this software not depending on net framework ,, and it has an independent wm service working in backgroud to monitor the cells and change the profile this thing make it too light and stable,,
it also has a today pluggin ,, so today pluggin it important ,,
so ,, give your self a time to try it to get more ideas for your software ,,
like,,, making it shareware
nono ,, please don't make it shareware ,, take all features from GSM Locator except this one ,,

Sure, Sure, these are all nice features
i started immediately on some of what you said
regarding the accuracy, this cannot be measured in any unit!
the GSM mobile cell looks like a hexagon, when you are outside the city this hexagon is set to be larger (covers more land) while it is smaller inside the city, mostly, inside the city (or locations with high mobile traffic) will have more accuracy but not that much precised! for example it will not distinguish a room in your home, but it will be able to recognize your home (but maybe not your neighbour if both are covered with the same cell tower).

needing dot NET framework is not a minus! it's a framework, it makes my life (as a systems developer) easier.
developing a today plugin is tricky, it requres an unmanaged code (cannot be done via managed code at all), so if anyone is interesed in helping me in this part i would be pleased

Guy, you were plugging your app (with handango link no less) three times on the other thread and now you are bumping it in here on the other app's thread, again? You must seriously work for them. Please, cut it off.
I tried your program, however, it could never get a fix on my location... it was always "unknown".
Im using a Xperia X1 GSM version...

Polling time of 30sec is fine, but I could not verify it. A very helpful trigger event is "turning on the device again". Could you include an active polling on this event?
It would also be nice if the application showed the actual cell id rather than reporting "Unknown" on the main screen. This enables me to check whether the polling actually works.
Wifilocations also has a trigger event when you leave rather than enter a cell. This could also be very handy.
Battery drain is of course a major concern, because the application has to run continuously. I haven't had time to check the battery drain yet.
Finally, is there a program switch that enables starting the program in the background?
PS: Thanks also for sharing the source code.
send predefined sms
-this option would be very useful for people who always travel because it can send an sms to a pre defined number especially if it will also send the cellid. it can be used as a tracking device.
this is what i did:
- launched LPM
- Options > Add New Location
- added location name: Office> ticked Ringing Volume > adjusted to lowest point > Start Recording > Saved
- quit the app
- relaunched the app, now the Current Location shows "Office", Ringer: 0%
- when someone calls, the ringer volume is still max
Not sure if this is the right place but I was curious about creating a Profile or something to turn off notifications (text msg, email, tasks...) except for the phone? For example on my Blackberry you have a profile to mute all sounds except a phone call, like a night profile. Does this make sense? I know I can manually do this but I would like to click something to change the profile.
There is no built-in sounds profiles support so you'll need to install an application to give you the functionality. I don't use one but see if PocketZenPhone gives you what you want.
http://www.pocketzenphone.net/
Thanks, I will take a look at it. If there are any other let me know.

I tried this and it works fine.
Actually, I tried PZP years ago on my MDA (Wizard), but had forgotten about it. I was missing the ability to quickly/one-button configure ring-tone, volume, etc for different situations (e.g., in the car, at my office desk, at home) -- an ability which is standard on dumb-phones, so I'm glad someone brought this up.
This is an old program, but it seems to be compatible with my WM6.5.3 Manila 2.5 OS -- finger-friendly, even.
Thanks for the link.
You may also want to look at phoneAlarm. Probably the most complete - and complex - WinMob profile application around. But, it actually gives you total control over the phone - including the interface - if you desire. www.pocketmax.net
Here's a screen shot of my set-up...
