Before I begin, yes I'm probably a relative newbie, yes I've searched the forum, and yes I've read the wiki.
I've got an 8525 running WM6 (thanks vp3G). I always use my phone in vibrate mode when I'm carrying it around, but I need to switch to audio when it is recharging (obviously I can't feel it when its plugged into the wall and sitting on the shelf). An old StarTAC phone of mine had a setting to toggle between vibrate and sound automatically when plugging in to power.
Is there anything like this for Windows Mobile, and specifically for the 8525? If there isn't, I may have to try to see if I can code this myself, but I thought I'd ask first...
Thanks for any help,

Try a search for Kyphur's Hold Comm Button Toggle program (or just "Kyphur", or other derivatives); it allows you to turn on/off the vibrate function by holding the comm button in once (to turn vibe on), then again to turn vibe off. Small pgm, works well, very little memory use. I know the search mechanism isn't perfect but even searching through the threads will work, which is how I found the program
Hope this helps
It sounds like your solution would be a profile switcher. There are programs out there that know to automatically switch profiles when you connect to the car/headset/usb/power...

Just wondering if anyone knows or can quickly create a little applet (not java!) that can quickly switch the radio functionality of the XDAII? The manual clicking of that aerial icon is a pain. I guess the aerial functionality is probably accessing some DLL or something? Maybe it'd be a quick job?
Switching Radio off
According to my manual you're sposed to be able to press and hold the red phone button - the manual says this can be used to toggle the phone off/on but that certainly isn't the case on my phone?
Anyone know why this isn't working properly?
Manual's wrong... from previous forum postings, this can be done on the original XDA but this for some really weird reason doesn't work on the XDAII. Hence a request to some Pocket PC coders out there who might be able to whip a quick utility up?
what is wrong with clicking the signal level icon, and selecting 'flight mode' ?
clicking signal icon
that takes two clicks - it's a lot easier to press and hold a h/w button
I'm serious
I solved this problem in a nice way using ButtonMax 1.01. Now I can, not only turn radio on/off by simply keeping pressed the up/down key on my xda's pad, but as buttomax supports macros definition I could even let it put my pin in the phone as I turn the radio back on!
Using it toghter with Alarm Today allowed me to solve the problem of scheduled on/off too. Both programs run in team and you can use buttomax macros at a scheduled time, setting them as an alarmtoday event. :wink:

Very good idea, indeed. Thanks.
It's possible to use the "Record" button instead?
I tried to use the “Record” button in the ButtonMax, but nothing appends?
If I use the down pad key, it work’s, why?
Can you help me? I really want to use the Record Button, that way, I can switch off the Radio(Phone) with the PDA inside the case in bell clip.
Thank's,

Quote this FAQ from myxda.com :
Q. Is it possible to activate the loudspeaker on my xda before choosing a telephone number? Is it possible to permanently turn the loudspeaker on loud, so i do not have to press the green button?
A. There is a way for doing this. The only disadvantage: after a soft-reset this setting is not activated anymore and must be readjusted. Dial any number, for example the Voicemail Box, so that nobody is disturbed by a phone call. Then disconnect and tip onto the signal symbol in the title bar. Tip onto the disconnect telephone button and then immediately press the green button (accept telephone call) keeping it pressed until the note appears: The loudspeaker is activated. The telephone then disconnects, without establishing a connection. The information that the loudspeaker is activated remains. The next step is turning on the telephone. The loudspeaker is turned on instantly with each dialled number. However, you can always turn the loudspeaker on or off by pressing the green button a little longer BEFORE dialling.
I've tried it and there is no response, even I can not get first step (Tip on the disconnect button ). May be this FAQ is only for XDA I ...
Has anybody tried it on an XDA II ?
Has anybody a way to permanently activate loudspeaker on XDA II ?
Yes, I've tried it, it works.
But sometimes could be difficult to activate due to some lag or slow response time for taps ... Once activated, the screen will look like this:
Can yo please explain it step by step ?
I've tried a lot of times, withou results. Thanks
ok, i found this easier:
- Turn on flight mode.
- Press green button for a few seconds until it says "Speakerphone is on". (Don't worry, as you're on flight mode, no call is made)
- Now, turn off flight mode to use the phone and have the speakerphone always on.
Enjoy.
No way !!
Turn On fligth mode.
--Press green Button while in TODAY opens Phone Screen
---Press green button while in PHONE screen shows Buuble "The phone is currently off. Dou you want to turn Wireless on?
I have ROM 1.60.00 WWE
-- Radio Version 1.10.00
You'll have to PRESS DOWN AND HOLD the green button for about 2 seconds. Not just one click.
Of course I did it
Have you been able to activate speakerphone during a call before?
The procedure is the same, press and hold down the Green button should activate, except that this is done when flightmode is on.
It's strange why your unit doesn't behave the same? Try hold down longer perhaps..
@chriswo
sorry for OT, but PLEEEEASSSE let me know the name of that software you're using for the today screen. i've been desperately looking for something like this for ages now.
thanks
regards ize|man
if you mean
chriswo's screenshot
then do you mean the signal strength
or ?
if you're talking about the launcher, it's called cLaunch, it's free.
Yes I can activate it during a call, and as I like it (it works 'sufficient' for me as a hands free for the car) is because I wanted to have it always activated.
May be there is some installed software. Will try to uninstall what is not essential. Can you post your rom & radio versions ?
boyz boyz you're fast as lightning
i just updated the screenshot. pls reload this page.
and YES it's cLaunch i just googled and it seems to be what i need (BIG buttons on the today screen)
thanks a lot
regards ize|man
Alrught, if you find it difficult to activate Speakerphone while on flight mode. try this:
On PHONE display, turn on flight mode and immediately PRESS AND HOLD DOWN the green button. Don't let it go completely on flight mode, so you got to do it while the radio was shutting down.
try that and let us know.
OK, this one WORKED without problem.
Now I have a 'perfect' and 'cheap' handsfree for my car.
THANK YOU very much !!!
Chriswo?
Where did you get that signalstrenght today plug in from ? looks really good
That's HudsonMobile PhoneDashboard.
Anyone notice if you cancel the speakerphone, then enable your bluetooth headset and make a call, the headset stays connected even after you end the call?
I don't know if this really is an advantage or not, I'll see how much more the battery drains if any.
Also, I notice that after activating the speakerphone "always-on", my ringetone gets almost silent. :?
Here is the post for Herms:

I installed it on mogul, the "wlan" is not working. The author told me that the registry needs to be adjusted due to the difference between the hardware.
Can someone fix it for Mogul? I am not a IT guy.
thanks.
Dittos - is there someone that can look into the registry tweak. Would love to get this working as well.
Its not a registry tweak.
The WLAN is controlled by a physical hardware switch on the Titan (its that little switch on the left hand side of the device).
Can you imagine a comm manager that automatically makes that switch move on the side? Would it move by magic, because last I checked there isn't a motor underneath it...
It may be possible to disconnect the WLAN toggle, but that's more complicated and may require you to open up and start soldering inside your phone....
Give it up. Why would you rather use the comm manager than the switch anyway?
Yep - actually I discovered I had the switch off (duh) and was coming back here to amend my post. When the switch is on, you can indeed go into commgr and shut it off too...
So it does work for me. Forgot that there was a switch - so used to the 6700!
BTW, funny post Dishe - a motor to move the switch. Heh.
I think you guys are right. There is no need for a WLAN since mogul alredy got a hard switch for it.
It would be nice if we could reassign the function of the wlan hardware switch. I would set it up like my old Treo to make is a ringer/vibrate switch.
I'd go for remapping the wlan switch. Since I've got the unlimited data, I rarely turn the wifi on. I'd rather be able to control that via software and use the hard switch for ring/vibe.
Hope springs eternal I guess
if you could change the wifi button on the 10-button comm manager to write either 1 or 11 to hlm\system\state\hardware\wifi dword you could turn the wifi on / off.
well.. maybe turn it on / off but it still doesn't seem to want to connect.. just turns on the little wifi icon on the top. : )
I think the WiFi switch is not software configurable. I think HTC designed it to be a physical toggle to cut the power to the WLAN chipset, so that's all it will ever do, unless as I stated earlier, someone opens it up and surgically re-wires it to be a new programmable button.
That would be nice, but unlikely. Then again, I could be wrong about how it works...
The fact that it can be software-controlled when the switch is on (can be toggled on/off with the comm manager), but not when the switch is off (WLAN options does nothing when the switch is off), makes my theory a reasonable explanation for how it works.
Sorry folks. Nothing to see here...
Titan WiFi Siwtch to Ringer Vibrate
This thread may be dead, and everyone may already know this, but just in case
No2Chem's latest preview rom includes nueWifiSwitch which allows the user to change the functionality of the Titan's wifi hardware switch.
I have mine to on = Ringer On and off = Vibrate and I love it.
Here is a link to the announcements thread in the ppcgeeks forum about it

I knew about it, but I didn't know what to change it to. This is a good function. Thanks!
I've found *MANY* programs that do this job and many people wanting a great way to do it. Am I the only one that can just hold down my Connections button to accomplish this task?
If it's in Ringer mode and I hold down the Connections button (the one that brings up the connections manager normally) for 2-3 seconds it will change to Vibrate mode. Hold it down another few seconds and it changes back to Ringer mode.
I can't possibly be the only one that knows this....
BTW I have an AT&T 8525 version of the Hermes/TyTN
Since the 8525 doesn't come with a paper manual you can bet that most people don't know this.
Bear in mind that a lot of these programs were not written for the 8525 specifically. Undoubtedly there is another PocketPC phone out there somewhere that doesn't have this feature -- though to be honest every one that I have ever used has had a button that you could hold down to toggle vibrate on/off.
is there an exe taht turns the screen on and off? and couldn't i just bind that to my camera button?
i did search..
thanks
You may be able to turn the screen off programatically, but how exactly would you expect to turn it on?
Of course, binding that to a button that actually works could do the trick. I think there a few freeware programs out there that allow you to change the bindings of the buttons (sry, can't remember a name, but if you google it you should be able to find one in no time).
On the other hand, phone off disables all buttons except the on/off button, so that might not work either.
i'm downloading vito button mapper now.
getting the screen to come back on was also my main concern. the only way i get it to come on now is by plugging it into the computer or resetting it. I don't always have a usb cable and a computer on hand, nor do i want to wait 5 min for my touch to restart to make a simple phone call.
any help would be GREATLY appreciated.. leaving for a trip in like an hour so i'd like to get this done..
