Can someone make a cab that would be a plugin for the today screen that would show a bluetooth icon that would allow me to turn BT on and off? What I have is the HTC home plugin, and i would like the BT icon under that on the left with my calendar showing up to the right of it....Do you understand what I mean? I have looked and looked but haven't found anything to do this. PLEASE someone help me. I have found one program similar but all I want is BT control with the icon. Can someone help me? Basically the BT icon on the left and my calendar show up right next to it on the right.
Thanks in advance!!
There's a program called BTToggle that allows you to turn it on or off just by launching it. You can put a direct link on your screen or as I did, a assigned one of my hotkeys to it...

...long time lurker; first time poster...
did a search on this once and if it's here, sorry i missed it:
what is the reg-locale for ensuring the Bluetooth System-Tray Icon is enabled to launch when bt is active. since performing the following reg-edits, it no longer appears.
Increasing font cache and screen performance:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE"
Change "limit" from "8192" (default) to "16384"
Increase general performance:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\"
Change "CacheSize" value from "0" to "4096".
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize=0x1000(4096)"
Change "EnableCache" value to "1"
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\"
Change "ReplStoreCacheSize" value to "4096"
Enable Cleartype in landscape mode:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings]
Change "OffOnRotation" to “0”
also... i did this one and then reversed it since i learned (after the fact) that cingular 8125 is already b/g:
Enable 802.11g:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TNETWLN1\PARMS
Assign a value of 1 to dot11SupportedRateMask
Assign a value of 8 to dot11SupportedRateMaskG
thanks to anyone making time to reply!
can someone confirm that their actually is a bt icon that resides in the system tray (top bar) when bt is enabled???
maybe it was a fluke that i actually saw it there for a brief period today?
maybe i'm seeing things?
I have not seen that icon in WM5. But I would like to have it there.
Oh its there alright. In fact, in the online help somewhere on my 8125 it actually lists the icons and their descriptions. One of them is the BT icon.
Its beyond my why there isn't an application that can indicate with a headset icon to notify you if your phone is paired to a BT earpiece. Someone had posted once PhoneAlarm did it, but alas. It does no such thing.
If anyone else knows of a program that will tell you if you're currently connected to a BT device, please speak now!
Ok, found out where the icon is listed. Go to the main WM5 online help on the device and go to Personalizing your device>Over of the Today screen>What do these status icons indicate?
Towards the bottom you'll see the icon... IT EXISTS IT EXISTS!... sigh
it does because today... it appeared for a moment. it played peek-a-boo while device was bugging-out. glad to know i wasn't seeing things. i wonder if having the clock reside in the sys-tray has anything to do with it???
i have found this application http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1319 to at least show when the BT is on. It also tries to connect to a headset when there is an incoming/outgoing call. Not having a headset myself, I have not been able to test this function, but bt does turn on on a ring and turn off when I end the call.
i got this cab from somewhere here in the forum which shows the bt icon on the system tray, to allow you switch on/off bluetooth, i beleive it was designed for the universal but it works fine with my kjam (wizard).

Thanks! This .cab works great.
Now I only need the same type of icon for wifi. Anyone got such .cab file???
Works Great on KJAM JASJAR and EVEN A T O M !
Thanks.
I tried it on my k-jam but unfortunatelly... nada
I downloaded the cab file to my pc through the link, then copied the file to my devise and run the installation therein...
Am i missing something?
Weird
I installed this, and nothing happened, so I deleted the program, using "remove program" from Settings/System, and it started working. Go figure.
yeah,it works good on MDA Vario(czech TMO firmware)
pls have u got same cab for wi-fi ?

It Does not work on my QTEK 9100. It actually warned me that it's not compatible while trying to install..
Hi There.
is there a way to show an icon for when bluetooth is enabled? I don't have an icon ... is there a registry seeting for it?
Thnaks for you time...
redjupiter

I use the small icon for the connection settings to check if BT or WiFi is ON in my EXEC. I was just wondering, what you use that icon for since you were all looking for a BT Icon?

The icon allows you to avoid a few screen taps to change the bluetooth setting. Plus it's a visual indicator of the bluetooth status, without relying on a flashing light... Hope that helps!

Thanks for the response. Some more questions please, where exactly will this BT Cab File show the icon? Is it on the Today screen or the icon tray below?

As many have said. You will also need to soft reset to see it. It will also show (besides avoiding taps) whether you are connected or not (another icon next to it will show a live link. Extermely useful. I have a bluetooth car kit and sometimes will not connect and no way for me knowing without tapping few times. This will show me a live connection has been established.
Cheers
Is there any application that makes putting bluetooth toggle as today plugin possible in WM5 ????
Please Help !!!
Maybe Like This One -->
Thanks in advance
download and install batterystatus. Very easy to find as it is all over this forum. Go to the options and select the Tray Launch Tab. You will be able to add bluetooth,wi-fi,phone, as well as many other options to the tray at the bottom of your screen.
this should work
found this somewhere, i have it installed and it works good.doesnt take up much space either.
As an alternative, Vijay codes up a bunch of really handle utilities, and one (VJvolubilis http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJVolubilis) can toggle BT. Then all you need is a today screen shortcut to his prog with the right suffix. cLaunch should do it if you want it on the today screen instead of the tray, or even create a drop-down menu controlled by a hard key with something like WM5NewMenu. All these are free, but I'm sure the developers would love a donation!
Theres a registry hack on ppcgeeks that enables that and wifi on your today screen if I find it i'll post it
BT on today-you find it???

I have been searching for this for a while now. I have started using phone weaver and turned everything else off but BT. See cab and thumbnail. In thumbnail look in bottom right corner of today screen for activated BT! I would like this to happen without running Phone weaver, seems to take up a little more memory than I would like for this type of app, but it works great and I am happy with it. Just what I wanted, if I could actually get rid of the few little icons to the left of the BT I would be VERY happy thats my main gripe here...
Cheers!
Efcomm.cab is what you need

ciclebt.cab.... and assigne to hardware button. or use as app via applauncher programs.
You can use btIO-mini (see attached file). In this zip there are 2 files.
I made this for 2 reasons. The first is to have a quick toggle via HTC Home integration, and the second ist to be able to turn on/off BT via voice command.
1. bluetooth.lnk -> put this in your \windows\startmenu\program files\ folder
2. btIO-mini.exe put this in \program files\btIO\
3. Make a shortcut from your favorite launcher today-plugin to btIO-mini.exe
Make a softreset, after that you can use voice command to turn on/off bluetooth.
There is no visible indication, like pop-up or message box that tells you which state BT is. The program just looks in which state BT is and if it's off it turns BT on in connectable (invisible) mode, and if it's on it simly turns BT off and exits.
So this is not exactly what you asked since it is not a today plugin but maybe it will help you.
Cheers
EDIT: Be warned! The program icon is ****ing ugly. Will have to find a better one...
Thank you guys for your response ....
But I'm asking about the plugin in the attached picture ...

I did a hard reset yesterday and now i can't see the bluetooth notification icon in the menubar, so now i can't see if my bluetooth is on or off. Does anyone have a solution for this?
You sbould be able to go into start-->settings-->connections-->comm manager and take a look. It'll show you if bluetooth is on or off.
Yes I now. But before the reset i had the icon in the titlebar. In that way i could easily see in my homescreen if my bluetooth was on or off. It was also very handy because i used to set btIO-mini (which is a bluetooth toggle) to a hardware key for easy and quick switching.
problem solved. I removed my dialer skin (mrincredible 3d) and the icon came back.
Just for your information: I tried another skin (Poorlyducks) for my dialer and had the same problem. The bluetooth notificationicon would'n apear. I removed the dialerskin and it came back. Will try some other skins in the near future but it seems that skins installed on my Jade make the bluetoothicon disapear, so be aware if you try some skins!
If you manage to find a nice skin (just for the dialer!) which doesn't make the bticon disapear let me know please.
There's plenty of dialers on here that you can isntall. Just do a search and you'll find them. Not sure about the disappearing icons though....never encountered that kinda problem. I'm using the SPB black47 dialer skin on my Touch. Looks great.
Is it possible to make a small tool that shows a small indication at the taskbar if the Bluetooth is on or of?
I use the windows dialler pad because the ring delay is lower than the HTC dialler.
But than you will have no Bluetooth indication.
It would perfect if the indication is very small. I don’t need a icon because this will waste the small place of the task bar.
Just a blue dot like the white dot that appears when Gsen is active.
Have a nice day

Sorry for my English. I tried my best
I'm very much in favour of it. Have the same problem!
Me too please.... I have requested this before, but no luck yet.... I now use a programme called "bluepower" which turns on the bluetooth whenever my diamond is being charged. So when I am in my car and my phone is in the cradle, I know bluetooth is on. I don't need an indicator in the taskbar as I KNOW it is active. Therefore I can stick to the windows dialer for the same reasons as you.
I found this after a very quick google. Tested and working fine on my Diamond.

I've also added the information to my WM dialer skin thread. )
Juhu, it`s works!!!
