BTIcon: Can we get it in JJ?

Anyone know how to get a bluetooth icon showing? I vaguelly recall a app written for WM2003 that provided this, in an attempt to override the built-in dissapearing icon issue. Can't find it tho...

Here you go...
Here is an app I took from my ba wm5 rom. I modified it for the jj. I think this is what you were looking for.

Awesome! Thanks a stack.
To everyone else, this puts BTIcon.exe in your windows diectory, with a link in your startup folder. Now u have an icon in your today tray, that u can click to turn BT on or off. Best feature is that you can see if BT is on at a glance, rather than watching the light for up to FIVE seconds to see if it flashes (I usually wacth for 10 seconds before I realise it's not on!)

hOW DO YOU INSTALL THAT?

copy cab to any directory on PPC, then run from within PPC

i just use fn and the right arrow, you can see the status of the phone,bt and the wifi connection

BTIcon installation procedures
Hi,
Here's a page out of my HTC Universal guide.
Regards
Michael

Mistad, could you please email/point me to where to find the BTIcon.exe cab file? I tried search the forum but failed to find it. Thanks and Happy New Year to all.

Hi,
Have a look at the PDF attachment in the post just above yours.
Regards
Michael

Thanks Michael. Got it working.

Thanks mistad for posting this BT icon app.. as well as giving me easy access to the Bluetooth settings, it seems to (touch wood) have cured the problem of Bluetooth switching itself off overnight!!
48hrs with no bluetooth connectivity loss.. a personal record for my Exec
Interested to see if it cures anybody elses BT problem..

Spoke a day or so to soon. BT stayed on for longer than it has ever done, but I just checked it and the "Turn on Bluetooth" box was unticked.
Which is interesting in itself, as the BT Icon did not show a red line through it, as far as it was concerned it was on. Once I opened the BT settings and ticked the box, my headset was on again.
To further test things, I went into BT Settings again, unticked the box, and the BT Icon correctly displayed with the line through it.
So somethings turning BT off in the background and not telling the rest of the system about it..
Anyone else having similar/different results ?

That was a great today plugin. Is there any same for WiFi? I miss the WiFi icon down in the right corner wich was a in 2003SE.

@gaspx
Yes, I have come to exactly the same conclusion. The only solution I have found thus far it to disable all power off features (including the on/off switch) and simply close the JJ lid or use 'screen toggle' in PDA mode. This means that battery life drops to approx 24 hours! The main problem is that if I leave it in PDA mode (screen facing out) and switch off the screen with 'screen toggle' (PocketPlus), then if I receive a SMS or missed call then the screen turns back on and runs the battery down much quicker. What would b really usefull is if there was an application that switched off the screen after a set period of inactivity.

Sorry guys for my OT, is there a way to add more application shortcuts in the tray ?
Thanks

wi-fi manager icon
does any1 know of a wifimanager icon, same as the bticon
thanks

Yes that's what I've been looking for. A WiFi Switch.exe to do the same thing Bluetooth Icon does... but for the WiFi. Is there something like that available?

What's the status of this post folks? Any new ideas or improvements?
Greetz ET

I've been trying to use XN Resource Editor toi change the BT off icon to being greyed out instead of the red slash and am running into problems. I got the icon changed, but the pda can't run the app when I replace the BTIcon.exe in the Windows directory...can anybody take a look at it and see what I've done?

backlight

im just wondering after a while of not using my phone the backlight gets reverted all the way dim so i cant see anything on my phone. Luckily i have it on my today screen and i can see just enough to fix it. is there any way to fix that perm so it doesnt do that.

maybe see this thread - doesn't contain a solution, though:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=51415

I had a similar problem struggling with PocketZenPone and found following issue: There is a checkbox in the energy settings: switch on backlight by tapping on screen (i dont know the exact phrase because i have got a german ROM). Double check if it is checked. If not check it and your problems are gone. Post the result here please for the other guys.
Thanx.

well the thing is ive done that before and well it still reverts back to that setting after a while

Do you mean you have double checked that issue and recognized that the option is not checked although you have checked it.
Do you mean it is unchecked automatically? If so this is a crucial information for all.

I had the same problems some days ago,
Didnt work to check/uncheck softreset.
I went to registry and did it there, and now it works.

johnny which key did you go to

I´m so sorry, i dont remember.
But it was in hkcu\controlpanel\backlight
Try change backlightontap and batterytimeoutunchecked.
That sounds good.
I would revert them and softreset then change them the regular way again (if its not ok.)
So probably i did it at that time.

ok this is getting real annoying this didnt start happening til i upgraded to 2.21. Now everytime i go into standby it turns my back light to very dim and i gotta go and reput it back to bright is there a program that might be doing it.
i have wisbar, resco explorer, resco pocket radio, pocketbreeze, phm reg editor. installed any one else have any problems with those messing with the backlight
i also have memaid, pocketzenphone 6

nm i figured it out thank you all for yourhelp

iGuidance 3.0.1 slow startup

Hi all,
Just installed the 3.0.1 update from the iNav site. I noticed that yes it does fix the slow voice issue. Very nice.
But on my 8525 it is extremely slow to start up at time. A soft reset and it opens fine. But after a few hours of use on PPC it takes from 1 1/2 to 2 minutes to open. When I launch it I get the spinning colored wheel and then nothing for well over a minute, then the agreement screen pops up...
Its installed on the internal memory as I thought it was my SD card. Maybe it still it my SD card and its having a hard time reading the map file??? I don't know.
Just looking to see if anyone else is having issues or not.
Thanks!

i have the same issue also.. but its only the program you have loaded on your device as i am sure the map is possibly to large to fit on the phone.. the program itself is loaded on my device, but the map is on my card.. mine doesnt take as long to load, but takes longer than it did on my wizard.. also the voice directions are slow, like i was traveling at 70mph the other day coming up to a turn (i already knew where i was going but testing different BT loads on my device) and it took 3 miles to tell me to turn

Thanks for the reply. Check your version the lastest was posted to fix the slow voice issue when gprs is connected. I have only tested it a bit but the voice flowed quick.
I have not noticed if its saying the prompts too late usually it will alert at like 2mi 1mi then several feet before.
I think my issue is a memory issue. It seems like there is not enough memory for the program. When I am having issues with it pie will crash on pages. So a soft reset resets everything. Wish I could find what the real issue is.
You are correct I have the program on the device and the maps on the card.

you know, your right, the 2 or 3 times i tried to load it up i didnt think i hit the icon right, hit it a 2nd time and it would come up right away, this time i hit it once and it took every bit of 2 minutes to come up... and i do have 3.0 not 3.0.1... lets just say im not able to acquire the patch from the website, nor have i found it anywhere else yet.....

3.0 will open faster if you disconnect GPRS (edge, 3g, whatever) first. However if it connects again you will have the slow voice issue. I have not had time to install 3.01 yet, so I can't confirm that it is fixed. I will also be sending you a PM.
Later, Lew

I had the sane issue with version 2. something. I downlooaded the patch for it and have had no issue maybe they will release a another patch soon.

i can confirm faster load if you drop your data connection, but havent traveled yet to see of 3.0.1 fixes the slow voice

I ran a demo and the voice seams fine. It starts faster then 3.0 if you leave the connection active, but both start fast when disconnected.
Later, Lew

Lew
Thanks much for the replys. I can confer if you drop your data connection it will start up much faster.
The issue I saw was with the data connection I have to launch the program 20+ times and then it seems to pick up.
I believe that the program as part of that voice fix is trying to knock off the data connection and the 8525 is fighting it preventing the launch. Then after XX times it lets iGuidance start up...
But again thanks so much, dropping the data connection is no big deal..

actually you dont have to try to start x number of times.. try this, hit your icon once and wait a few minutes, i bet it will come up... for some reason with the data connection it takes 2-3 minutes, it could take you 2-3 minutes to hit it 20+ times for it to come up... its just an issue with slow launch..
does anyone have a registered version that they could report this issue to the manufacturer?

lol
I have been bugging them for the release for weeks. I'll let em know! They seem to be having issues with our devoces. They said that the final release would be 12/06. So maybe they are working on it who knows.
Yeah it most likely take me 2 mins to hit it 20 times!

Hi all,
Does anyone where I can download 3.0.1 patch?
I am using 3.0 with all the above issues.
Thanks a lot.
Mark

Fix
The problem does seem to be an active internet connection. What I've done is used mortscript to solve this and also the annoying backlight off problem wich Inav seems think is not big deal. All you need to do is first install mortscript with is included in the zip or download if from the website. Put Keep Alive and the script file in the Iguidance directory. Everyithing should work in case you installed iguidance to the memory card or changed directorys in wich you will have to edit the script and point to the correct location. I've also made a shortcut to make it seem a sort of original feel. Just place the shortcut in your windows\start menu\programs location. The only problem is this new version of mortscript does not allow the same script to run over again, so if you exit the program you can't use the attached shortcut to run it again. If anyone has a solution to this let us know.
cheers

i have a simple solution, just hold down the red phone key(end call) for about 5 seconds and the data connection will disconnect, then open iguidance

I like this idea better than holding th end call button. In fact I did the very same thing. You see with this you can end the data connection, start iguidance, change the back lighting (if you want) and reconnect the data connection and anything else you like to change like volume and what not all with one click. Way to share with others benfica88. Makes me feel kinda bad that I didn't post mine for everyone. I guess I forget sometimes that not everyone knows what is available out there.

No probs. Do you by any chance know how to run multiple instances of the same script?

well when hold down the end button to end the data connection it will start back up within a minute or so due to push mail or whatnot.. and changing the backlight wasnt much of an issue for me cause the only time i use this is in my car and when im in my car i have plugged into a car charger.. so the end button solves my problem
on another note, PPC Profiles will do a similiar thing, you can set up profiles on your phone so with the simple tick of a button you can turn on BT, keep the backlight on, change the audio, etc.. the only thing it dont do is kill the data connection... well except turning on BT will do that... i know there are 2 different versions of this program, the author is a loyal windows mobile like the rest of us and created a free version for owners, he also has a version you can buy.. if you guys are interested i know i have the free version around here somewhere..

I am having the same issue with my treo 750, except ending the internet connection does not help. Is there anyother options? My GPS software is useless right now, it wont start up at all. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and it will start once, but than after that it will not open at all, even after soft reset

Ok I just soft reset and it does work after I end the internet connection. Man this is a pian though! Is inavcorp aware of this issue at all?

I just got a 8525 and ran into the slow loading problem with iNAV. I am running 3.01 and it does take 1 to 2 minutes for the app to load. If you do press the end call button for 5 seconds before you load iNav it loads in 10-15 seconds. It has to be a flaw in the app.

Screen Problem

I already posted in the sticky but didn't get any answer.
My problem is one that occurs quite often how I see but still I don't find any solution.
The problem is that the screen of my HD doesn't show up anymore when it was in standby and I left it for some minutes. It's on because I can still change the loudness and I can feel the buzz of the buttons when touching one. It takes me some luck and time to bring it completly to life again by pressing over and over the ON/OFF button. When I bought it the problem occured very rare but now it's happening all the time when it is in standby.
I never did install any roms (because until now I have no idea what it is about ), the only things I have done so far:
Installed TomTom 7.450.9028 and these two registry edits:
under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc\POP3 i renamed the mailtrns.dll to mailtrns2.dll (it's a fix for the email because my GMX account didn't work with POP3 on my phone) and the other was setting the value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/GPSIntermediateDriver/Drivers/GPSOneDevice/PollIntervall, to get better GPS-Signal
Everything else is just original, like it was when I bought it some days ago.
Is there anything I can do? Or do I have to send it in?
I really like the phone and it's working perfect except to this point so I'd like to stick to it. Hope you have some advice,
THX in advance,

Have you tried going to Start > Settings > All Settings > System > Power > Advanced and making sure device isn't set to turn off after a period of time?

Thx for reply but doesn't that mean my phone will be always on? Or can I set it then manually (by pressing ON/OFF) in standby and turn on again without problems?

Yes to both, it will remain on unless you manually put it into standby by pressing on/off

Ok, I try it out now. Hope it works that it comes on out of standby without problems.

Wow until now for exactly 1 hour and 33 minutes no problems. Seems to work, hope it will continue like this, if so I could kiss you

Disabling Wi-Fi

Hey,
I am having problems disabling my Wi-Fi. To be honest this isn't really a problem because my Wi-Fi is faster than mobile data transfers. Having said that though, obviously i would like the option to turn it off.
I havn't changed anything today on my phone so no software changes etc. Just on 'Comm Manager' on the Wi-Fi switch the whole line is light grayed out (and therefore i cant do anything)
Tried the standard turn off/turn on, soft reset, holding power button and terminate data connection, yet it is still grayed out and still on...
Any Ideas?
Sorry if there is already a similar post. I had a quick look and search but couldn't find anything to help. Please point in the right direction if there is.

Go to Settings, Menu, All Settings, Connection, Wi-fi. There's a checkbox there for turning on and off. You may find that doing this re-enables the one on the comm manager, otherwise, you're stuck with doing it that way (for some strange reason).
I'd also recommend the Wifi shortcut on the cab thread in the HD2 themes and apps forum. I have that in my quicklinks so I can quickly toggle the wifi on and off whenever I get home or to work or a friend's house etc..

Cheers bud.
Thats turned it off, but yeh as you suspected it doesn't enable me to do it in comm manager. Do you think you could give me a link to that quick link?

Yes mate - it's in my signature - the cabs link. You want the Touch X reset and wifi cab. It creates shortcuts in your start menu, and you can then add them as quicklinks if you want.

This may well be a stupid question, but is the device connected to PC with a USB cable just now?

hicks:
Nope, not currently... It was earlier though... If that is meant to make it so you cant toggle it, maybe it might be stuck like that from earlier... I will try plugging it back in later and see if this sorts it.

Oh and yeh seems it was a minor fault... plugged it back into comp and disconnected again, seems to be sorted in comm manager now.
