Today Plugin - Wireless (Universal tweak, works on Wizard)

Not sure if this has been posted in the Wizard forums before but i just found this in the Universal forums and now have a new Today plugin that displays the status of my Wireless connections. It seems to work for everything except GPRS
Just add the keys below to the Wizards registry.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Wireless"]
"DLL"="netui.dll"
"Order"=dword:00000000
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"Type"=dword:00000004
For the full info on this, check the Universal forum here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43751
Cheers,
Chris

There is a photo in the Universal post but here's a screenshot of my K-JAM. The items only seem to activate on the Today screen when you enable the Particualr Wireless mode. As WiFi is disabled as soon as i connect ActiveSync i enabled WiFi in Comm Manager and quickly took the screenshot before WiFi was turned off, hence the unavailable status.
Note you cannot interact with this plugin. it is purely display only.
CHeerts,

Thanks puckster shows up on the list of the items list/today but not on the screen. I assume that is cuz I have no wifi connection right

When I added the entry, I had to go into the Today setting and uncheck, then re-check "Wireless" which made it appear. At a minimum you should see a bluetooth symbol that says on or off.
If you still can't get it to show up, double check the dword entries you created.

Btw - thanks for bringing this over to the Wizard forum Puckster..it's a handy little Today item.

Mine displays Carrier / Flight Mode & Bluetooth as well as WiFi status.
If WiFi is disabled it does not display on the today plugin however my Bluetooth is always displayed there even when turned off. The Carrier (Vodafone in my case) changes to Flight Mode when you enable it.
I would possibly re-check the registry keys. Also i just remembered i did add 2 extra keys to my registry that werent mentioned in the Universal thread.
I have attached a registry export of the key i created on my K-JAM so maybe you could use this as template as it works on mine.
NOTE: All of the keys are decimal dword entries except DLL which is a string.
Chris

Thanks for your help and I have rechecked everything and all seems ok. Phm reg editor can't seem to import the reg file you gave me ;(

It's nice to have the indicators...but I wish they didn't require the real estate of a whole additional Today bar. I would love to find a way to put indicators like that in the icon tray at the bottom (just above the Contacts soft key image).

this is exactly what i wanted much appreciated.

no go here, but I'm on an old, old ROM

Thanx Puckster, worked like a charm
Exactly what i was lookinf for ty again

zeeboxx:
You need to be using the new AKU2 roms for this to work

which answers "meschle"'s question - assuming he's still on 1.6.7.1

this is excellent... cheers guys!

Hi all,
i have put it in CAB file.
Regards

Have the same on Himalaya
Hi,
I running WM5 on my Himalaya and I have it by default. However, when I tap in the area, it takes me to the Comm Manager or Wireless Manager.
Same on the Wizard or should I check potential differences in the reg?
Cheers,
Hal.

yes. please check the differences. When I click on it, it does nothing.
Thanks.
Having a friend check on his PPC 6700 once he finishes the upgrade.

ammar you are the best man, I have tried all other methods. yours only worked. God bless you.

I ran ammar's cab. The Wireless box appears in my Today screen, and I tried checking and unchecking it, tried soft resets, even tried a re-install of the cab file. I have a T-Mobile MDA, and I have SPB Today Plus and PHM Traylaunch running. I'm using the black theme.
Anything else I might try?

problem with UltimateLauncher with more than 2 todayplugins

I'm testing this nice app but I've got several problems after the first setup.
If i insert in the varius tab more than 2 today plugins like Pockerweaver and Pocket Digital Clock in one tab and Todayagenda in other one, every time i enter into the program setup for adding or modifing something and i confirm the modification, my device hang. I need to softreset.
Does someone else have the same problem?
I've got I tyTn (I've tested with both WM 6.0 and 6.1)

I've experienced that sometimes during set up...It happened somewhat randomly, but not so much to prevent me from doing what I needed to set up. Also, it doesn't do it now that everythig is set. You might try:
1. make sure all your plugins are not enabled in the normal Today set up before you try to add them into a tab or sub tab.
2. properly set the "Activate plugin on startup" and "Save memory" checkboxes. I generally have the first only checked on the "main" tab items and unchecked on all other tabs. Also, I generally have the "Save mem" unchecked for the main, and checked for the others.
I can't say this will stop it from happening, but i did expereicnce different results when I played with them some...

Thanks a lot for the answer...I've followed you tricks...but in my case the problem appears in a systematic way :-((((

I love UL but its still a tiny bit buggy. It just doesn't seem to like certain today plugins. I don't have a rhyme or reason for it, but sometimes it doesn't play nice.

PocketWeaver?
Could it be PocketWeaver? I've used UL for several months now with MANY today plugins. Currently I am using it with both PocketDigitalClock and TodayAgenda. Since PocketWeaver is the only one I haven't tried could that be what UL is not behaving well with?
At one time I had 5 plugins running in 3 tabs and UL setup has never hung for me.

How long did you wait before a soft reset. On my device I have to wait quite a bit for the screen to refresh after any configuration changes. I have 4 tabs with 7 plugins going right now and it does not hang.

I noticed I couldn't get the Audio Manager plugin to work properly in UL, wouldn't expand on selection.

I have phone weaver running without issue. Phone Alarm was giving me problems and very infrequently batterystatus

I wait several minutes...and it hangs also doing a simple INI refresh...

UPDATE: i think to have found the reson why...I've set all the ico dimension to a "correct" dimension, like for an ICO with maximum of 48px i've set 48px and not 52 or something more and for an ico of 68 i've set 68 not more or less...and all is working weel now. I can do ini refresh and modify the settings without any phone hang.

I figured I try out UltimateLaunch and I made a new tab and added BatteryStatus today plugin. It locked up, after soft reset it locks up within a few seconds. Any ideas how I can fix this without a hard reset? Thanks
Chris
EDIT: I was able to get to the Today screen and disable UltimateLaunch after about 20 tries and some caffeine! I disabled battery status in the today screen this time and turned of the minimize in Ultimate Launch. This fixed my issues. Thanks anyway.

Sorry a newbie question. How do I actually put in more than 1 today plugin into the home tab of UL? Does the software allow that? I would like the whole today screen to rotate n not only part of it.
Thanks in advance for the reply.

Adjust the height and add a 2nd plugin, just like you did with the 1st.

If you want to have more than one today plugin on the same tab (i.e., HTC Home with another plugin underneath it) be sure to "combine" the tab.
FYI, the perfect fixed height for UL, with the system tray still visible, is 245 pixels.

Thanks very much for all your help. I got it.

Maybe you Gurus can help me....
I wish to have MyFaves as a UL plug-in but it will not show up unless I have it checked in the Today screen items, then it shows up twice (once in UL & once on my Today screen). Can anyone help me? BTW I have a cooked ROM & am using DuPrade's MyFaves cab file.

...267 if you don't have the system tray.
I too experienced some lockup issues using Battery Status. I have since unloaded it and no lockups since. I'm thinking it's anything actively monitoring the system that UL doesn't like. Although i have RLToday installed and using it for my msgs notifications, but that is a registry read.

Automatically Disconnect Data Connection

Fellow Titan Users,
I've been reading and applying most everything that this forum has to offer and I've got to say it's awesome. I feel like I've learned a lot, and I'm continually trying to do so.
I have a fairly simple question prefaced by my situation: I'm very careful with my battery and anytime for example I use my internet, as soon as I close it I turn off the data connection to save battery life.
Is there a program, or a script that anyone is aware of....that as soon as I close Internet Explorer / Java Opera 4.1, or Opera 8.65, etc, that within 15-20 seconds or so of no use it would be disabled?
Additionally, is there anyway to click the top connection bars and have a way to just hit an X button(much like SPB Pocket Plus does) to close it? I have the Comm Manager button on the side of the Titan that I use to open up Comm Manager, then click the Data Connection icon and then it closes. I'm hoping for something that will save a few more seconds.
Thanks for any help, advice or ideas.

Yea,its called internet connection sharing,it (or so it seems) automatically drops connections anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes after you open them. ;-)
Seriously though,I think there might be some registry settings for autodisconnect,but I dont really know what they are. Ive been trying to get mine to STAY connected.

I just press and hold the red 'end call' button, that does it nicely.
There is also an ap, (I think it's schapps advanced config) that lets you set a time of inactivity to auto-disconnect. However there are some who have had other problems after using the ap.

there is also an registry setting...it allows you to click the connection icon on the screen and a disconnect button is displayed which is what i do and its sooo much easier and disconnects without you having to open up comm manager i have the new rom and its custom so ye it still works without a hitch The Vision duration registry
This edit allows you to see the duration of your Vision connection along with a button to disconnect it. You see it in the bubble that is displayed when you tap the Vision icon.
Click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Click ControlPanel
Click Phone
[at this point, the buttom grey status bar should read \HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone'
Click the bottom menu 'edit'
Select new dword value
Change the value name to "Flags2" (no quotes).
Select the 'hexidecimal' button.
Type 10
Click ok.
You should now see in the 'name/data' section:
Flags2 16 (0x00010)
When done, reset the device.

Works great.

I tried that yesterday and for some odd reason then my GPS could nto get a lock at all... When I restored the old registry then it came back to working.. Dunno why or how but just a warning out there..

If you're really concerned with battery life, get the seidio extended battery. I've gone the entire weekend (fri,sat, sun) without recharging my batter, running flexmail with 8 different imap accounts, using google maps with gps and a little wifi at night ending up with 50% battery on monday! That is CRAZY!
Worth mentioning i run flexmail all day, so that is a constant drain and thus has the inet connected all day. Before i'd have to fully charge my phone 2-3 times a day. 2 without talkingon it for a little bit.

Try these:
Code:
REGEDIT4
;Enable auto disconnect GPRS if not use 60 seconds
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings]
"CacheTime"=dword:0000003c
"SuspendResume"="GPRS_bye_if_device_off"
;Disable auto connect GPRS
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\PhoneExtendFunction]
"EnableCPHSONS"=dword:00000001
"NoGPRSAutoAttach"=dword:00000001

Pocket Toolman is quick and handy for adjusting these settings, has a lot of other tweaks included, and is freeware.

Thanks
I've been using PocketToolman. It's real simple and works quickly, thanks a lot. Also, thanks to everyone else that made suggestions.

Lost a few tabs

I recently installed the 15-tabs CAB.
But i'm not getting , the weather , internet and another tab. Atleast i'm not seeing them.
I am able to set them off with a config tool. Like advance config 3.3 or Diamand config 0.75
But they arent showing on screen. Anybody got any idea whats up ?
Thanks

what are you getting?
and in what order?

Im getting in this order
Home, Contacts , Messages , Camera , Music , Configs , Programs , Sound , Call history and Comm Manager
So i'm still missing alot of tabs

what you should get (in this order) is:
Home
weather
programs
messages
email
people
internet
camera
stock
music
settings
calendar
sound settings
call history
comm manager
no idea why you're not though
might be best to post yoou question on the main 15 tab thread - think only the 3 of us are reading this one!

when you organize them (set the order) and/or disable/enable some, you must use Diamand config 0.75 and not advance config 3.3. Just reupload the 15 tabs cab and then use diamond config and all should be well.
Good luck

yes use this cab adv diam config and you can select what tabs you want and dont want
