OK that's a terrible title for a thread, but wouldn't it make sense if touching the wifi icon on the task bar toggled wifi and touching the bluetooth icon toggled bluetooth. They should have placeholders and be accessible all the time without the comm manager
Yeah trying to hit those with your finger is tough and then having to hit comm manager. It takes like 5 button presses to turn it off/on through spb panel too. I don't like the SE panels, but they have a wifi toggle why can't the spb one have that?
Phoneweaver will give you what yout after.
That's good, but I think access to these functions should be from anywhere (any app / any panel) at any time. The only constant across all of that is the task bar and the hardware keys. Right now I have comm manager assigned to a key.
phonealarm also lets you turn on bluetooth or wifi by touch the icon.
Both of the Sony Ericsson Panels allow you to enable/disable Wifi and Bluetooth on the main screen.
but these aren't task bar icons, these are desktop icons. Access is therefore only from the desktop
AE Button Plus "extends functionality of hardware keys on Windows Mobile devices", so you can for example set double clicking the green button activate/deactivate WiFi, and a long press to do the same for bluetooth.
Another good way is to assign Comm Manager to a key, as suggested before.
I have left soft key set to comm manager, 2 clicks for wifi, phone, bluetooth et al.

On my Dell X30, i can have one of the buttons set to disable/enable WLAN. That means - when i press the button, the WLAN goes directly on/off depending on status.
When i press the "network" button on the Wizard, it displays the stupid com manager instead.
Since i use this button 99% of the time only to turn on/off WLAN, i would want it to do that directly, without showing the com manager and need me to tap on WLAN icon.
HAve anyone made a small exe for enable/disable WLAN, that can be mapped to a button?
Thanks...
Check your extended rom for cabs called WLANon.exe or something.
I don't think they work, but I guess they're there for a reason.
I've got a nearly working solution in VJVolubilis (that I've been too busy to fix).
S-K-Tools Schema (?) software may do this also.

I can't find the the file you mentioned...
Hello,
i also want to know how to do that.
thanks,

Is there a way I can enable/disable bluetooth through one of the hard buttons on the mogul. The messaging or the windows botton for instance. I just hate to go to the comm manager everytime I want to enable/disable the bluetooth. I don't also want to drain my battery by leaving it on all the time.
This won't do it via a button, but PhoneAlarm can do it based on profile and some PA skins also have a soft button on the screen.
AEButton Plus works very well for that too. Very handy lil prog!
There are lots of tiny little bluetooth toggle exe's out there you can find via google. I got one of those and then mapped my PIE hard button's press and hold feature to execute it, works great. Did the same with a vibrate toggle exe program on the messaging hard button.

Can u plz let me know what's the name of the one u got, and do i go about setting it up. does it come with instructions on how to map the hard bottons? I appreciate the help.
AEbutton is nice, but is always running in the background. Vijay has created a small utility called VJvolubilis that can control BT (and radio as well). Download his app (http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJVolubilis), and copy the shortcut he's already created for you inot your \windows\start menu folder, then go to Settings > Personal > buttons to assign a button to this shortcut--bam!
I've searched like hell, wiki and all, but can't find a way to do this.
When I click the signal icon in the top bar, the system status screen appears, which is fine, but then if I click the signal icon on that screen it closes and then a notification icon pops up to show me the signal status in a bubble.
Is there any way to go straight from the system status screen to the comm manager? rather than the really long way at the moment?
I'd be really happy if there was a third party app which took the system status screens place with more detailed info and comm manager in one.
hope someone can help.

I don't know if it will solve your problem, but I simply added "Comm manager" as shortcut in the start menu. (2 clicks to comm manager)
I found that if I mapped the CommManager to the 'press and hold' call accept (green phone button) in the 'buttons' section in settings, then its nice and easy to load and it doesn't then matter where you are in your phone you can always get to commManager quick and easy.
I used to have this button mapped to use the camera, this is so I had a hardware camera button but the delay is too much to live with for me.
Hi,
Thanks for the tips, I know you can just assign comm manager to a button, but I was hoping there would be a more technical way to use the system status screen to go to the comm manager.
I already have on of my buttons mapped to rotate.
Thanks

Use Ae button plus (i am using it to turn on-off wifi with a double press on the vol up button)
or
edit the registry so you assign the commanager to your left softkey @ homescreen (you can use HD tweak or Advanced config tools).
instead of doing that to get to comm manager why dont you just
press home
slide to settings
load comm manager
its like button, slide, tap, less than 1 second and you can do it with one finger or your thumb while holding your phone in the same hand
tap start , tap comm manager. your there

Personally I feel 'Tap Start , Tap Comm Manager' is probably the best route to take but if you want to map a button to comm manager use AEB PLus
For example if you want you could use the Volume Up button to run Comms Manager as well as volume
Simply set Single Tap to run application and Double Tap for volume or whatever button & configuration you prefer
You have a choice of buttons to use and 3 option for configuration i.e. Single Tap, Double Tap & Hold Button
Well thanks for all your suggestions they are good ones, but as always me being very picky, I was kind of hoping there would be registry hack to allow me to do it from the system status, in my opinion this wouold be the more TF3d integrated solution allowing me to go to the comm manager just as pressing the volume button takes me to the volume controls.
It just a little illogical the way it shows the notification bubble instead of taking you to the comm manager.
What would be really great is a more advanced syatsm status screen showing all the connection info on it, such as wifi signal strength and status, data status
all icons with the ability to click on and go to comm manager.
I'm guessing this is probably just me, but I think that would be great.
Logicalstep
Start-Settings-System-Touch-FLO, untick the Show System Status screen checkbox.
At least that cuts out one unnecessary step..
hmm I don't really think that qualifies as solving my gripe as it just disables the system status menu and that doesn't fulfil any of my wish list.
Ok well if I can't get it to work with the touchflo system status screen is there a way to change what program is launched on the click of the task bar? That way I might stand a chance of making or finding an app that does what I want.
Logicalstep
doesnt the new htc notification thingy replace those bubble pop ups with a full screen finger friendly screen?
i dont know cos i havent installed it...
then clicking on the icon would take u to take screen to load comm manager
I downloaded WKTASK, you can find it on this site, which places an icon of all open programs on the task bar. Open Commmgr the first time and then leave it open on the task bar. Next time you need it one tap brings you there.
wktask looks cool thanks
I used to have action screen for 2.1 manila

Use shortcuts to program and choose Comm Manager which has options for turning on both bluetooth & wifi
found the solution
aktogglewifi works as required
but the icon is horrible
I've had the phone a week now and am loving it. Though something has recently changed and I cant get it back.
When I used to press up on the top bar, where the Phone, WiFi, and Bluetooth icons are, it used to pop up with the finger freindly Touch Sense (manila?) Notifications window. From there you could access Comm Manager
However, now when I press up there, depending on whether I press the actual Bluetooth, Wifi, or Phone icon, it brings up a nasty little Windows Mobile 6.5 window. You can then get to Comm Manager froma tiny link in that window - but I want it to work how it used to, and just bring up the nice Notifications window when I press up there.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks
