Hi guys,
I've been playing with PIToday for a couple of days now but I noticed one thing: My bluetooth icon on the Today screen disappeard after using PIToday. The only way to get it back for me is unchecking PIToday and soft reset. This is a bummer!
I've been checking some sites for solutions but could only find the solution mentioned above and one solutions for a 3870. This was putting a shortcut to the bluetooth icon in the startup folder. In the case of a MDA II, there is no such shortcut possible. I checked the registry and Windows directory but the is no .exe file which will start the bluetooth icon. Only .dll. But I don't know where to point it to. :?:
Any other suggestions? Because I would like to buy PIToday but I still want to access my bluetooth from the Today screen.

Even though I am a huge fan of Pocket Informant, i experienced a lot of issues with the PI today plug in and stopped using it. It may be incompatability with other software I also have installed but as well as the missing BT icon it also caused instability (lock ups) and the occassional auto soft reset.
In regard to the missing BT icon though PI today is not the only culprit. Users of Pocket Breeze from SBSH Mobile software have reported the same issue. Only way to restore it is unselect the today plug in and soft reset.

Hi Ednap,
Somebody suggested a sort of sulution for me: Using Zenphone. In Zenphone there is an option to turn bluetooth on and off in a profile. And it seems to work!
It is not the solutions but a least it is workable.

hi,
some kind of solution
get the tool "No Plugins today" (h**p://www.ictinus.com/NoPluginsToday/)
install it (of coz)
insert into your registry a new string like this
HKEY_LOCAL_MASCHINE\init\LaunchXX where XX is the highest number of the Launch under INIT (I use "Launch90")
enter as the stringvalue the path to the tool e.g. "\Storage\NoToday\NoPluginsToday.exe" or whereever you have installed the tool
insert a link under \Windows\startup or \windows\autostart (depends of the language) and point it again to this tool. Rename the Link in such way, that it will run last (eg. "XXXNoToday")
ok, thats all, reset your device, and enjoy your Bluetooth icon
It is not a failure by any of the Today-Plugins, which make the icon vanish, it's just a timeout of the btdll, caused by Plugins, which need too much time to initialize itself, so the icon just nor appear.
What does this thing?
after reset it removes the todayscreens, the bluetooth icon appears, and after that the notoday-tool switches the plugins on again.
you need some more time (3-4 secs) after the reset, but, who cares, you got the icon back

Nice work, IvkovicD!
I'll give it a try and I'll post this solution also at the PIToday forum. I'm sure this solutions is a great help for Deje the maker of the program.
B.t.w I tried SnoopSoft Dash Today Advanced today to see if I like it. It is not bad. A bit slow but guess what happens?
My headset profile is now gone! First I thought it was because I had too many Todayplugins but after removing a few and soft resetting it still wouldn't come back. Any suggestions for this one?
Thanks,
Wouter
To create a shortcut to Bluetooth copy the following into a shortcut file (text file with lnk extension i.e. Bluetooth.lnk):
34#\windows\ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,23
and copy it across to your PPC
My headset profile is now gone!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Might it be that your profile is just gone from the Today screen? Check Settings>Personal Tab>Today>Items Tab and see if Profile is checked.
Hi Mark,
No. The headset profile was not there anymore in the list. I contacted Chris Scott, who makes DashToday and the only solution he had for now, was to uninstall the program.
Not realy a good option in my opinion.... Especialy because I just bought the program because there is no trial avaliable.
For your other solution:
I want to make sure that I realy understand. You want me to make a textfile and name it i.e Bluetooth.lnk. In this file there should be the line:
34#\windows\ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,23
Then copy this file to my PPC and presumably to the startup directory?
Just want to make sure.
Thanks,
Wouter

Copy it to the Start Menu folder. It won't bring back your bluetooth icon back but you will be able to access the settings from the start menu.
Thanks,
I give it a try later.

Hi,
I know this effect. I've have this "vanishing", too, if I install too much today- plug ins. Just grab your favourite registryeditor and delete some build-in today-registry entries for today items, e.g. original-task, or some of the other build in ones. If you need it (I don't believe that , make a backup, but really, do you need them?)
reset your device, the missing plugs should appear again...
Sometimes, the OS just do not display some today-plugins, if there are too much entries into registry, even, if you do not activate them...maybe at MS nobody thought that someone needs more then 5 todayplugs at once...
just joking

Hi Dejan,
Sounds like an interesting solution. Want to give it a try but I can't find the path to the right regkeys. :?: Do you know were those keys are to be found?
Wouter
Hi Dejan,
I found the reg keys. (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today) and deleted the Task, Calendar and Owner Info keys. Then I did a soft reset but my Bluetooth icon didn't reappear.
Too bad.
Did it work for you?

Everytime when we receive file (by default) via IR or Bluetooth, the file will be stored in MY DOCUMENTS in MAIN MEMORY...right? :?
I'm really hoping someone can actually teach me how to do some tweaking, and change the save folder to Memory Card. Please...
I can't receive big files because i dun hv enough space to store them in MAIN MEMORY now...very sad case....

Hi. I recently got my mini and have lotsa queries.
1) Cant play any other audio file as ringtone other than the default tones even though i copied the files to the windows/rings folder.
2) O2 connect will not connect to the server even though it syncs without a problem and I have 24 hrs internet on my comp.
3) After I uninstall a program, the icon still remains under the 'programs' menu. How do i remove that.
Any insight on the above mentioned queries would be really helpful. any of you can also email me at: [email protected]
Really apreciate it...
Cheers
1) if you are using mp3s for ringtones, guess you'll have to use a third party software to do that... other than that, midi files works for me...
2)you have to register your username, password and your mini in o2 website in order to connect... after that remember to go to the settings and enter your username and password...
3)either you can use memaid (a 3rd party software) to maintain your system or just use file explorer at (Start menu>Programs), at there, go to (windows>start menu) and delete your invalid shortcuts...
cheers...
mp3 ringtones shouldn't be a problem, there's even a small cab file to pick them from within the file explorer (it 'repaired' the bug). Putting them in the rings folder should do the trick, don't make them to large though. Maybe you're using a third party app which removed the wmp mp3 link.

thanks guys.... i tried putting in my user name and password under settings of O2 connect but am still not able to connect to the net on the mini when my phone is connected via sync cable. It says...
Connection fail
Disconnected from O2 connect server
Also, Can u gimme the link or the exe file for making MP3 my ringtones....
u guys are simply great
Cheers
Got the mp3.cab at home, can attach it this evening.

If I put my ringtones in windows/rings, my device "forgets" what ringtone is for who...But if I put them directly in windows/ it works just fine, Midi, mp3 and wave....no program used, just copy/paste...BTW I have renamed some of them, to match the default-ones (and deleted the def-ones) ...
Didn't manage to get the cab attached, so uploaded it to the ftp at cab installs
ftp://xdaupload:[email protected]
can you surf the net with your mini? if can't, the means it is your connectivity problem... go to your Activesync, under files select connection settings... under (this computer is connected to select automatic or the internet...
Hey oltp, thanks for d cab. now i get an option when i click on an mp3 whether i want to set this as ringtone but it says you gotta check the memory. i have close to 16 mb of mem free n it still does not happen. please please please help me out.
Hey nonentity.... i tried doin wat u said but i do not get the option at all. i 've attached the screenshot of the screen that i see under connection settings. me using activesync 3.8 if that helps... really need a solution the these probs man... :wink:
Cheers...
Hi biswadeepb,
Tried it myself with a 5Mb mp3 & worked fine, must say I've got over 30Mb free main memory due to BIG Storage. A ringtone doesn't have to be large, or do you need three minutes to find your magician?
You can also experiment with making the mp3 mono, shrinks a lot. Don't forget to code it to stereo before using as ringtone, cause wmp doesn't play mono mp3 somehow. At least i had probs with it.
As I'm probably one of the oldies around here I've got the OldPhone as ringtype.
Regards, M
Hey Oltp... the mp3 ringtone used to work earlier. then i installed some program called EasyTweak and since then it has not been working. is there a way to find out what path the ringtones have to be stored in. Maybe the path for the ringtones has changed by mistake. i have uninstalled EasyTweak but it still does not work........
Hi biswadeepb,
Welcome to the club (there is endless amounts of gear and addons for this little beauty)
As for using the O2 connect, I've never been able to connect to it using my mini either (I get the same message). Just ring them to get o2 plus emailed to you otherwise its somewhere on this site.
Have fun :lol:
I've tried easytweak too & found out that other programs do approx. the same, so after last weeks hard-reset I didn't reinstalled it. Must have 'messed up' your registry.
The rings folder can be found in the registry, search for 'rings', the patch you've installed uses this value. Thus you can find the current location also with your explorer.
For the mp3's I found this list, maybe it helps:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\MLS\Extensions]
"wmx"="playlist"
"wvx"="playlist"
"wax"="playlist"
"asx"="playlist"
"wm"="audio"
"wmp"="audio"
"wsx"="playlist"
"wmv"="video"
"asf"="audio"
"wma"="audio"
"mp3"="audio"

Can anybody help me to change the location where the mda vario nl (htc wizard) locates the incoming bluetooth files.
they now go to my docs... I want them to go to my storage card. where can I change this?
I have found no answers in this forum and the normal bluetooth settings seem to override drYar (which i have tried)
thank you
I know it's difficult otherwise I wouldn't ask...
Does anyone know this?
vjvobulis doesn't do this either. Does anyone have an idea???
or is it just not possible. can anyone reply?
check out BT Sniper or project Wolf. These BT managers were posted recently on this forum and they both claim to be able to do it, if I rememer correctly. The are not freeware and I don't know if they are any good, but you can always try to see if they fit your needs. through a reg hack it has so far not been possible.
thanx I tried to install te wolf project but i need to update the rom first. i will try bt sniper
thanx again i will let you know how it worked.

I tried various registry tweaks but could not change it to storage card. I deduced it was hard written into the software, so only way to change it is with new software - as detailed above.
thanx for the posts... however i can't really find bt sniper. maybe i'll have to update my rom en install the wolf project. it sounds good.
if anyone has another idea please let me know
Sniper! BT manager can be found using the search on this forum, there is a thread on it that was recently ( last week) started. link to the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=53778&highlight=sniper

Hi!
I've been reading a lot of these forums about activating A2DP with a mono-bluetooth headsets, and found (in different places) some different ways, (change a couple of registry settings and with some pocket pc/headset one had to change a file called BTAGExt.dll)
I have made a CAB file for these hacks and also included the file "BTAGExt_new.dll" I call it _new because I change the registry to locate this new file instead of the old, that way one doesn't have to overwrite the dll file and can, if problems occur, change in the registry instead. The file is needed for some (me included) that are having trouble with music playing in the headset for about 10seconds.
Anyway, i have made a self-installing cab file for this, so that other people may use it easily, without need of hacking the registry, one does not need to use btaudioon and similar program to make this work,
EDIT: AS many people pointed out, here are the instructions to USE this , sorry for that:

It is nice to see my little hack being used
BE AWARE:
*VoiceCommand DOESN'T WORK!! (since my cab disables it in favour of all-sound in headset)
*I take NO RESPONSIBILITY if this crashes your phone or anything else, USE IT AT OWN RISK!
* It only changes this things:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings]
"UseJointStereo"=dword:00000000
"BitPool"=dword:0000003a
"MaxSupportedBitPool"=dword:00000050
"MinSupportedBitPool"=dword:0000000e
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Builtin\BtA2dpSnd]
"Priority256"=dword:0000003c
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand]
"LaunchApEnable"=dWord:1
"VoiceCmdDuration"=dWord:15180
And copies this file: BTAGExt_new.dll to \Windows (or whatever windows dir you have)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway]
"BTAGExtModule"=string:"BTAGExt_new.dll"
Then do a soft-reset and voila, the sound should work.!
This worked great with my X01HT and Motorola HS850.
I used this too with my Sony HBH-60 bluetooth mono headset and it worked perfectly for me too .
Much better for listening to podcasts while in bed!
(no more strangling myself with earphone wires! )

I am not sure, but I belive that if you uninstall it it should go "back" to normal.
otherwise, the "normal" would be
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings]
"UseJointStereo"=dword:00000001
"BitPool"=dword:0000003a (this setting just changes the soundquality)
"MaxSupportedBitPool"=dword:00000050 (this too delete if not wanted)
"MinSupportedBitPool"=dword:0000000e (and this, delete if not wanted)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Builtin\BtA2dpSnd]
"Priority256"=dword:0000003c (delete if not wanted, better quality)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand]
"LaunchApEnable"=dWord:1 (KEEP!)
"VoiceCmdDuration"=dWord:15180 (change to 30seconds or whatever, dword:30)
And copies this file: BTAGExt_new.dll to \Windows (or whatever windows dir you have) (delete this file!)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway]
"BTAGExtModule"=string:"BTAGExt_new.dll" (change to BTAGExt.dll)

Thank you very much.
I use the audio to bluetooth feature with skype as it would otherwise send the sound to the loudspeaker, which, in a public place is not really convenient.
Now, with the code to "on" the sound and the code to"off" it, maybe there would be a simple way to create an app which would toggle from one state to the other? would you know how to do that ? alternatively, is there some kind of scripting tool for the ppc that I could use ?
thanks in advance,
papex

Interestingly, this makes A2DP to transfer everytig in mono on my other MS BT stack-based devices, as has also been pointed out in my related article - are you sure this is the original value?

I believe that it is, at least on my device, but I may be wrong, it was long since I did my cab file. so not 100% sure no,
I was as curios as you, could it be that it uses mono to save bandwith? and thereby increase the range of the bluetooth?
but hey, I am no expert, I roughly took reghacks from around this forum and put together a cab file, I tried to make the cab to produce the best sound availible to a monoheadset, and nothing more, nothing less.
as it were a couple of weeks ago I since I did this i don't really remember every detail of it, but I believe most of this is stated in the hermes_wiki

Mic on bluetooth headset
I wanna know if I installed this file to use something like Skype, can I not only hear the sound from my Bluetooth headset but also speak through the headset too?
How do I get back to normal?
Hoping someone could help me out. I tried installing the file above. The installation process went well, but immediately following the soft reset, I noticed that my phone screens and response to menu picks was considerably slower. My phone locks up all of the time, and I am unable to toggle the bluetooth on and off. I tried to uninstall the application, but I get a message at the end saying that it was unable to completely remove the program. Wondering if anyone could help me to get to the registry and change the settings back to normal. HELP!!!!
Works for Vodafone 1605 with factory rom

Thank you for the cab/hacks. None of the other alternatives worked on my 8525. Now if someone could incorporate this into someway to switch between modes, that would be great. Right now, I install and uninstall the cab several times a day! I get nervous that the registry will get corrupt from all of the install/uninstalls.
Thank you very much!
Hi!
thanks for all the appreciation about my cab! I am happy to see that others are using it and are happy about it
I also noticed that some people has problems with it,
dhenry88: Try and install it again, otherwise, try and revert the setting yourself, I posted the "original" settings a some time ago in this thread, so go get a reg-editor and hack it
because that is all the cab-file does, changes registry (and copies a file to /windows/system32
however, this file is not important for the os itself (because I change the registry to find the changed file, not changing the file and overwriting the original.
but sorry to hear that it had such bad performance on your phone, it shouldn't do anything like that, but hey, every phone is different.

Indeed this is a great little program and I'm very thankful for it. Like lantern, I think it would be great if someone could figure out a way to switch modes easily as I'm unable to initiate a voice call through my Bluetooth headset with this program installed. I too have to install/uninstall the cab many times each day. I’m certainly not complaining, just expressing a wish.
