Hello all,
I am curious to know if it is possible to use the WLan indicator that is on the Blue Angel devices (on the menubar) for our Hymalaya devices. I have copied the WLanMgr.exe and WirelessMgr.exe to my device that I got from an external Blue Angel ROM on this forum but to no avail, the later only launches a program yet does nothing. Am I on the right track? I am looking for a WiFi Strength Indicator that I can put in my menubar or taskbar, 2.20CHS does not come with this and I am trying to find 3rd party apps to do just this - but nada.
Can anyone assist?

I am replying to my own post, this is sad...
Either there is no interest in the community to have the Blue Angel WiFi indicator for their Himalaya devices or no one knows how to do this, either way there is no response as of yet...
- Happy NY to all
Can I use this with Lennys rom Win6?
Or might I mess up? I really don't want to reinstall AGAIN.
Thanks,
Jo

Jogol,
Ever since I've had WM6.1, I haven't been able to use Wifi Companion, does your work? I'm dying to use it, love how on the menu bar you have the wifi signal indicator, it's a must for when i'm at the park, etc.

I am going to wait for someone to tell me that it doesn't create problems.
I really do not want to have to reinstall my Axim again, it takes too long.
If i do get too impatient then i will let you know.

I guess that i lost patients.
It works fine. A big improvement to the Dell software.
I am using ver 2.10.1.0
If you want I can email you the cab file.

WiFi Comp
I have been looking for this software and can't find it. Looking for someone who has the CAB version of this Wi-Fi Companion. If anyone has this could they please email it to me. I would really enjoy trying this. I have a TILT

I obtained an Orange Touch 3G as an upgrade last week and there appears to be no way to adjust the wireless power on this verison of the phone. Does anybody know how to do this? There is no icon for this under the settings tab.
my girlfriend got the same phone last thursday, ive been working ever since to get the thing as close to how HTC intended as possible, orange have made a complete mess of the phone. The biggest problem is that stupid unique thing theyve put in place of the usual wifi settings. if anyone know of a way to get back to the stock HTC Comm Manager without flashing a rom it would be much appreciated.
mjashdown, if you dont like oranges version of touchflo try the iolite version in this thread , its early days but it seem to be running fine on her 3G, it also adds the footprints tab, gets rid of the orange world and replaces it with the standard internet tab and the horrible orange/brown theme is replaced with the standard blue one. like i said its early days but its running perfectly so far.
Orange Workaround?
I have complained to Orange and they are due to call me back today with a workaround for this problem.
Orange Workaround
Had a call back from Orange and the workaround was have a look on the HTC website and see if there is anything to help.
at least they phoned back,thats more than i would have expected. well phone u back it usually just a way for them to get you off the line. as for the advice,i dont know why someone wasted their time to call you back.the problem is not htcs,its orange & their crapware that have caused it.
ive searched all through xda for the stock comm manager but all i can find are themes.
Can't you just set the wlan power by:
Start -> Settings (or Control Panel or whatever) -> Connections -> WLAN -> Energy-Mode
(Translated from german phone)
unfortunaitly not, orange uk have completey replaced the standard wifi settings menus with something they call Unique. i dont know the reasons for this change but its completely useless and doesnt allow any useful settings to be changed.
only thing you can do is flash phone to another rom, I have just done that with mine and it's great, orginal htc rom is much better and faster totaly recomend doing it,
the orange unique is quite a clever thing from orange but unfortunatly they have forced it on the phone so if you don't have the service from orange it's totaly pointless and gets in the way, the unique manager is why i flashed the phone, I could cope with other things they have done but that was a step too far.
cheers

The "service" you refer to is Unique phone...it's a way of using your Orange phone over a broadband connection if you have bad coverage at home. I use it as I can't get any mobile signal where I live...from any network! The person I spoke to at Orange said there would be a fix coming soon to make the WIFI better on the Touch 3G. Hope this clears things up.
I was speaking to Orange Technical Support and they told me that there was nothing that could be done to change this and this was a feature of the phone. Was there any news about when this update will be available?
Sorry, no idea on when the fix will be availble. My one works fine, I was just having some other issues and I mentioned this problem and was told that one would be coming soon.
I think you problem can be only resolved with a new rom version..
And i don't think that Orange release a new one within the nearest time only to solve this "bug".. my guess...
If I where in your place i would flash it with the official htc rom.

unique blows big time
There is a way to access the power settings on the Orange branded Touch 3G:
1) Using File Explorer, navigate to the Windows directory on the device.
2) Look for a file called WLANSettings which is 73.4k in size.
3) Run the file and click the Power Mode tab.
4) Adjust the slider for better performance and click OK to exit.
I only discovered this today and am still testing to see if it makes my wi-fi connection more reliable. The "searching for networks" screen has a tendency to hang and I'm hoping this will improve things.
I'm holding onto the hope, however, that Orange will address this in an update and give us the stock HTC wi-fi options back.
Thanks!!!!
That is just what I was looking for! I have tried it and will see what effect that has.
Hi,
I wonder if anyone experience the same problem like me where the 3G icon sometimes look smaller and nice looking, but sometimes look bigger and ugly.
I have flash my rom with the latest shipped rom which i downloaded from HTC official website, and this problem still unsolved..
I have spb shell v3.0.1 installed in my jade.
Can anyone advise me please...
Thanks in advance.
Vincent
i think what you mean is this:
the icon 3g can change into a larger 3g- a G only- or an E. This happens according to the signal strength you recieve from your network (or so).
However, it is nothing bad. It happens automatically.
Hi Qabooz,
Thanks for your advise.
Cheers.

Actually sometimes, 3G can change to 3G of different graphics, especially when you customise the phcanoverbmp.dll. To understand where the graphics come from, follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441829
Hi Azahidi,
Thanks a lot for your advice!

Hi all:
i recently bought a DX off craigslist with a cracked screen.
this is the actual phone i bought
http://iowacity.craigslist.org/mob/2443460199.html
anyhow the guy said it has a good esn#
i havent called verizon yet to verify.
i do not have a contract or service with verizon.
the phone seems to funtion well EXCEPT "Stand alone gps"
when i run apps like "GPS Status", "GPS Monitor", "GPS Fix" or "Google Maps" i get ZERO satelites.
i am hoping maybe the antenna is not connected or something along those lines.
i have been googling for a picture of the antenna and can not find anything
could someone provide me a link to a good picture of the gps antenna so i can see if it is disconnected?
i am running 2.3.3 android and the system version is 4.5.596
i did the OTA update over wifi and it was successfull.
note: i only have gps standalone enabled and that is it
i did have gps assist enabled just while messing around and trying to get sats but it did not work in helping get any sats.
it did help pinpoint my location in google maps but i think that used wifi/cell towers to do it.
any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks
i read on the motorola forum that since the 2.3.3 GB update other people are having the same problem
https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/398655
"Droid X + GB 596 = DEAD GPS"
is it my gps or my antenna or what?
i just got this phone and the very first thing i did was the GB update so i dont know if the GPS was working before or not
any info would be great
thanks
My gps was broken until I flashed CM7 and now it works flawlessly. I guess you could try flashing a custom rom maybe?
ok there is something else i need to add
i just went and got another DX....this one is running Android 2.2.1 and verizon 2.3.340
it is running like it is supposed to.
but while messing around with the phone i just got i noticed wifi is also picking up alot more hits then the 1st droid with android 2.3.3
does the newer GB also make the wifi signal worse or something?
might i have something else going wrong besides just going to 2.3.3?
maybe there is a hardware issue since the phone was dropped.
could have that shook something loose and caused wifi and GPS to be not as good as the phone i just got that has not been dropped
ok i bought another DX off Criagslist and it has a perfect screen (never dropped) but a bad esn...
either way i now have 2 DX`s to compare side by side.
i flashed both 2.3.340 to both phones and i also flashed 4.5.596 to both phones and the results are the same
the phone that has not been dropped always sees satelites with "gps stats" app and the one that has been dropped has never picked up any satelites.
the phone that has not been dropped also shows alot more AP`s when i use wififofum then the one that has cracked screen
i was hoping it was software but i am now believing it is hardware related of some sort.
could someone point out where the WIFI and GPS antennas are located in a picture
maybe someone can draw circle around where those antennas are.
the 3g and cell phone signals on both phones look the same.
there is one other thing it might be.
the one with the cracked screen (and good esn) has a blue triangle in the top tool bar
i know this means the phone needs activated (could that be why i not getting gps)....still dont explain the really lower signal strengths for the wifi so i dont think thats it.
the other phone with bad esn does not have the blue triangle...i dont understand why since it can not be activated....i called verizon to check the esn and they said it is because of financials and if i wanted to activate the phone it would be $1700... someone been calling china?
anyhow i think best place to start is where are those 2 antennas located.
thanks
dont everyone reply at once
I'm not as good with the hardware side, but on the software side, I would try to sbf all of the phones to stock/rooted and test them again. If they show the same problems on the same phones, then it is probably hardware.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
both my phones are now showing blue triangle in notification bar.
both phones do not work with standalone gps
both phones are not activated on vzw network
the phone with the good esn# i am sure the standalone gps will work after it gets activated
the phone with bad esn# can not be activated unless i pay $1700 old bill so it wont ever be activated with me at least
so how can i get the standalone gps to work with that...certainly vzw can not control the standalone gps entirely even on a rooted phone...
soemthing is not right
