i am piised off, dont know why but when you fully install t-mob rom link to discoonect from wi-fi is not there when you click wifi icon, instead there is a connection manager link there. so i have hard reset me phone stopped t-mob ist. and checked files.
in command mngr cust. cab there was ome entries and i found my way.
to get back your disconnect-connect wifi link ( when you clicked to wifi/gprs icon )
go to
HKLM\ControlPanel\9
and change
Group value 65536 to 2
then
go to HKLM\ControlPanel\WrlsMgr
clear \Windows\CommManager.exe from Redirect
plus change Group 65536 to 2
and you are done.
hopefully some one will add this one to hermes tweaker
Thanks M8;
Also they have tried to stop you from chsing UMTS under phone settings! your choice is now limited to Auto or GSM and you can no longer use the UMTS band 2100 etc only the mix. The cab responciable for this is PP_Remove_UMTS_Only_(Network_Band).CAB in \windows it is invoked in PreConfig.txt part of preautorun.exe. Anyway to get it back just use this :-

which UMTS i should choose on t-mobile?
Here in the UK keep the band type to Auto it will give you wider coverage.
I tried this in another thread a while ago but as nobody even replied I thought I should try it again before I completely give up
Is there a tool (or can someone code one maybe?) to switch between 3G and GSM without going the "normal" route of
Settings-Phone-Options-Band(or whatever it´s called in the english version) and then change it to either WCDMA, GSM or Auto. Of course you will have to disconnect any active connection before you can do that.
A tool to accomplish the same thing would really help in improving battery life as with it you could switch to 3g only if needed (websurfing) and leave it in GSM mode most of the time.
If a tool is impossible to create, a shortcut to make the procedure above easier would help. too.
Yep i would love this too any takers :>
JEREMY
You could try writing a macro using mortscript - it can simulate taps on the
screen. And yes, I'd like to have such a tool, too..
Thanks for the Mortscript hint. I managed to write a tiny little scriptlet (it´s ridiculous really, but it does the job) that does the following through stylus tap simulation and app calls:
- Open the Phonepad
- open the options dialog
- select the "Band" tab
- change the band selection from 3g to GSM without clicking OK
- call a subscript which disconnects the current connection (otherwise a bandchange is not possible). The subscript is necessary as Mortscript will not process any command that comes after a "Disconnect"
- here I would like to click OK. But for the love of god...I can´t find the right coordinates on my Trion. Can anyone help?
- here I would like to close the phonepad again
Same stuf in a second script for GSM to 3g of course.
I´m pretty sure most of it can be done through SendTab/SendDown etc. Figured that out a little too late. Might clean it up a bit to make it less resolution-dependent.
Voila
Even without the last two steps it is rather useful. When you call the script it will do everything except press OK for you.
Band Tab
I upgraded to the Cingular (1.34) rom and now I do not have the "Band" tab on the phone settings. Has anyone else experienced this? I would love to have the utility to switch back and forth as the battery drain is too fast in
3G mode.
Thanks!
See this page for details:
http://www.securegsm.com/pages.php?pageid=85
"... If you do not see the “Band” tab, please download this CAB file and execute on your device. After executing this CAB file...
The above CAB file contains a registry change for your device. No special application is installed when you execute the above CAB file..."
Please note: login is required to download.
Alternatively, you can enable "Band" selection tab using registry editor.

SecureGSM -
The CAB file worked flawlessly. I appreciate the information and your assistance.
Thanks!
Ok, I cleaned up the two Mortscript scriplets to just use sendkeys. No more stylus tap simulation, makes it a lot more reliable.
Executing either script will now open the phonepad, go to options-band, diconnect the current connection and then change the band.
Unfortunately closing the phonepad doesn´t work riliably as it will leave the phonepad screen in the foreground and the UI will freeze.
Maybe someone a little more gifted can make this more interactive (e.g. ead what app is active and switch back to it after the band change or something).
For me it is good enough for now.
If anyone wants it, let me know.
What the heck. Maybe someone can make use of it.
VERY clumsy and thrown together in a couple of minutes. Should work on any Trion etc.
You will have to edit the window captions and paths as I did this on a German ROM.
"Telefon" is "phone" or whatever the phonepad caption/link to the phonepad is called.
Works on my Trion. Improvements as mentioned above more than welcome.
Latest Mortscript beta needed. Can be found here:
http://www.sto-helit.de/downloads/pocketpc/MortScript-4.0RC2.zip
uhmm.. just my 2 cents. there is slightly better way of doing this:
step #1: change band selection to GSM or to WCDMA directly in registry
step#2: flick device radio to flight mode on and then off
Also, step #2 will restart the radio regardles of established connection is present or not.
alternitevely if you would like to close data connection gracefully:
call datadisconnect.exe located in \windows. nice utility btw. it surely has CLI mode as well.
any C / C++ programmer should be able to get this project done in few hours at most.

Great! As I said before, I just did this to have something (not much, I know).
Wouldn´t the "disadvantage" be, though, that you would have to enter your pin every time flightmode is turned off?
Do you know what registry entries this would be?
Is it HKLM,Software\OEM\UMTS,OpMode ? And if so, what would be the values for 3g, GSM and Auto?
EDIT: Think I found it. Auto=0, GSM=1, 3g=2
Is this correct?
Plus, is there any shortcut you can run to toggle flightmode? If so, these two things could be put into another Mortscript scriptlet (it can change the registry).
Thanks!
did a test over the last day I disabled incoming beams (which I've had ticked all the time apparently ) and I manually put the phone into 2g mode but had it connected all the time to gprs. man the battery life more than doubled I've still got 70% battery left after a heavy days of usage.
but I miss 3g speeds for web browsing tho. so I think a tool for 2g to 3g and back would be most appreciated preferably not using mortscript and with a message saying "switching to Xg mode" or something. unfortunately my programming skills are nearly non existant.
anyone
Jeremy
Install Flightmode.exe from WinMobileApps.com and run it via MortScript.
# UMTS
RegWriteDWord HKLM,Software\OEM\UMTS,OpMode,2
sleep 500
Run "\Programme\FlightMode\Flightmode.exe"
sleep 3000
Run "\Programme\FlightMode\Flightmode.exe"
Use OpMode, 1 for GSM only and 0 for Auto.

Yeah, it is funny indeed. But the solution you found yourself hasn't been posted here so I was thinking it should be added so people in this forum can find it. This is the international forum to share information at.
Anyway, thank you for the great solution! It really works fine and I still have the great runtime of my Trion together with fast UMTS where I need/want it. I think this has a high value!
GSM & 3G switching via Skschema Scripts
Hi folks,
I know some of you have beens using Mortscript to change the network band in the registry and subsequently switch to 3G or GSM by clicking.
Well I had a look at seeing if I could do something similiar using a SKschema script.
This is what I have come up with so far.
Skschema has commands which allow it to switch the radio(gsm) on/off as well as writing and deleting values/keys to the registry. (Tested on the Hermes)
SwitchToGSM.sksc
This script Writes to registry the value "1" for OpMode, pauses 1 second, turns radio off, turns radio on and connects to your data connection(GPRS ONLY).
Code:
#r(#rgset) #p(HKLM;\SOFTWARE\OEM\UMTS;OpMode;DWORD;1) #sleep(1000)
#r(#gsmoff)
#r(#gsmon)
#r(#connect)
SwitchTo3G.sksc
This script Writes to registry the value "0" for OpMode, pauses 1 second, turns radio off, turns radio on and connects to your data connection(Auto - if 3G present it will connect to that).
Code:
#r(#rgset) #p(HKLM;\SOFTWARE\OEM\UMTS;OpMode;DWORD;0) #sleep(1000)
#r(#gsmoff)
#r(#gsmon)
#r(#connect)
You could assign both these Skschema scripts to a hardware buttons, even better if you use the voice notes button on the Hermes you could use one script for [press] and the other for [press & hold].
toggle2G_3G.sksc
This script I have tried to add some intelligence into the script, I wanted to use a script for 1 hardware button and for just one [press] to switch to GSM then a second [press] to 3G - so it really toggles between the two modes.
To achieve this I used a little bit of logic and an extra key in the registry.
Code:
#r(#rgget) #p(HKCU;\Software\sk\schema\rad;Gsense;DWORD;0)
#r(#iftrue) #p(set2G)
#r(#rgset) #p(HKLM;\SOFTWARE\OEM\UMTS;OpMode;DWORD;0)
#r(#rgset) #p(HKCU;\Software\sk\schema\rad;Gsense;DWORD;0)
#r(#goto) #p(act)
#r(#label) #p(set2G)
#r(#rgset) #p(HKLM;\SOFTWARE\OEM\UMTS;OpMode;DWORD;1)
#r(#rgdelkey) #p(HKCU;\Software\sk\schema;rad)
#r(#goto) #p(act)
#r(#label) #p(act)
#r(#disconnect) #sleep(1000)
#r(#gsmoff) #sleep(1000)
#r(#gsmon)
#r(#connect)
This is how the script works the "rad" key which I have put in the Skschema registry path, is completely functionless - It's merely there as a check.
The script firstly checks to see if this key exists?
If it does then the script moves along to the "set2G" line.
If it doesn't then the script continues, The OpMode value is changed to "0" - enables AUTO mode. Then the "rad" key is created and the script moves along to the "act" label.
following along from above at the "set2G" label, OpMode value is changed to "1" - enables GSM mode only. Then the "rad" key is deleted and the script moves along to the "act" label.
At the "act" label the current data connection (if present or not) is disconnected, a pause before doing this of 1 second, the radio is switched off with another pause of 1 second, followed by switching the radio back on. Finally the data connection is re-connected.
The "rad" key is used to enable the script to decide which switching is required to GSM or to 3G.
Maybe a similar toggle action in one script could be done in Mortscript?
For anybody with Skschema I have attached the 3 script files.
Chalky.

Can someone tell me which registry keys to change, to enable Band selection using registry editor? The cab file mentioned did nothing on my device when I clicked on it.
I looked in WM5_Tweaks_Other and saw nothing refering to band selection. Thanks.
Hi. I am doing a program with a botton icon to do this.
to activate only gprs:
1) Change the registry.
2) turn radio off.
3) turn radio on.
but only when i turn off the radio using comm panel the system "refresh" its data from registry and then it works. Any idea?
Thanks
Hi there,
I hope I've found the right place to post my question.
While using my Touch HD I always switch off 3G to save some battery. When I need it I turn it on at Settings -> Phone -> Band (well thats the german name).
What I'd like to do is - write a program that does this for me - switch from 3G to GPRS/GSM and back. Currently I try to achieve that with Visual Studio 2008 and the 5.5/6.0 SDK.
I can't find any Assembly to set exactly these settings. Could anyone give me a hint where to look for these settings?
Thx in Advance
Steve
I read that our Blackstone uses less battery in 3G-Mode than in normal GSM
greetz
Would be nice to have a bind to switch from 3g to gsm....
For example: If you open IE or Opera the gsm will switch to 3G-mode and if you close IE/Opera it will go back to GSM

Might be of some help?
there's already a cab out there called CommManager8, which gives 8 entry items to your communication manager 1 of which is a 3G/GSM switch.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=453518
or you can always use advanced configuration to add the 3G/GSM switch into the coomunication manager

With great pleasure I have tested the flavours of WM6.1 and WM6.5 cooked by members of this forum. Only two things where still annoying me:
(1) hp iPAQ Wireless Manager has not been cutting edge since WM2003SE, the HTC Comm Manager is much nicer
(2) the top row in WM6.5 lacks 3D symbols (unless TouchFlow/Manila is installed)
Since I have some hacking experience, I decided to go for the lowest hanging fruit and make HTC Comm Manager work for my hp 614c.
Installation instructions:
a) install the .cab file
Try the Comm Manager, and if the Wireless LAN choice on the Settings menu doesn't work:
b) copy cpl17.exe to \Windows
c) backup [HKLM}Software\HTC\CommManager] and edit the following:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager\WLAN]
Default : string = \Windows\cpl17.exe
Try the Comm Manager, and if the WiFi button doesn't work:
d) backup [HKLM}Software\HTC\CommManager] and edit the following:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager\WLAN]
DeviceName : string = {98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\SDIO86861
e) if that devicename doesn't work either, visit
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WZCSVC\Param eters\Interfaces]
and write down the name of the <key> you find there (in my case SDIO86861). Then search the registry to identify the <ClassID> containing the referring key (most probably the ClassID can be found in the Power settings comb), and set the DeviceName (as above) to {<ClassID>}\<key>
Enjoy!

Is the WiFi button functional, while the Phone button isn't?
That is really odd, because only Wifi is non-MS-standard in the HTC implementation of WM6.1/WM6.5. Please check the Power control settings in your registry for redirects of the phone API.

After I switch back the registry to default (without uninstall HTC TaskMgr), all features on HTC TaskMgr are run normally
So, based on your install instruction, what is registry modification use for?

Swell dude
cpl17.exe is a wrapper to enable the Wireless LAN settings page to launch from HTC Comm Manager. The change of the Default key is directly associated with that.
Regarding the Devicename, it seems like it varies from device to device. The original HTC setup did not work for my 614c.
hi!.
thanks for the tweak!. for make it work i had just to change the ID at the end of the string by writing SDIO86861.
btw, does anybody knows if there is any more friendly UI for the camera app?..
thanks again!

As I recall GPRS/3G switching is supported by changing any button's name to 3G - and Advanced Config can do that 4 U. However the supported number of buttons is fixed (6, 10 and 12 button modes does not work)

Thank you ! I
The T-Mobile HTC HD2 UnOff Service Packs 1 & 2, I created with the cabbing help of skr_xd with the connection setup files (files I developed Leo-Based Roms for the Xperia but had strange difficulties cabbing them for the HD2, so skr_xd did the great job in cabbing them) will fix the main problems on the T-Mobile HTC HD2 which i noted below...
This Service Pack is for those who rather not flash custom ROMS, and continue using the stock 2.13.531.1 ROM...
I personally think the stock rom is great except for what this service pack does...
The T-Mobile HTC HD2 comes bundled with bloatware and a mixture of square icons and default wm6.5 icons; to me, the mixture is ugly...
Features:
Connection Setup... All Countries Included...
user must delete t-mobile connection settings manually by going to settings>connections>connections>manage existing connections>general>delete settings
connection setup may run after first reset, device may experience a 4 second lag when this occurs
Default settings menu restored...
Default Windows Mobile 6.5 Icons system wide... including newer system icons for that uniform look...
LED notifications of missed calls, sms and mms...
Solitaire & Bubble Breaker...
Camera & Camcorder Image Quality Increased...
Back Button and Graphical Send Button in HTC Messaging...
Owner Information Setting restored to register those games...
Automatic lock disabled... Very annoying, especially when listening to music; no more wasting time having to unlock the screen every single time you wake the device... you lock when you want!
Optimized for MS Office 2010 with new icons...
Color Twist Theme...
Minor Icon Replacements...
Icon Cache Refresh...
After system resets, apply new theme - ColorTwist
***Check the G-Sensor icon***
Icons that were removed...
***you need to delete their folders for more space manually (very easy to do with file explorer)***

Does not work, can't install on TMobile HD2. Plz help.
thats weird, I am using the same device and this is what I am using until i start cooking
Installed the service pack, but can't connect to internet. Internet provider is airtel india
you need to go to connection setup
pretty much no feedback on this, is no one using your hard work?
stock rom
just flashed back to the stock rom so yea ill give this a shot.
Me too just went to stock rom if this works it is just what i want
Installed perfect, now test but really looks good! You might have save me alot of disappointment Thanks
thanks guys... as soon as my comp is back up, I will be developing roms for the T-Mobile HD2 as well, with the same concept as I did for the Xperia X1...
Dear Spikegotti, plz help me how to set it for airtel India. I tried so many ways, in advanced tab i select the network, my ISP, acess point name- airtelgprs.com then finish. Tried Airtel Live too. On first day when i purchased it, without doing any settings it worked a full day. I surf so many sites. Next day it did not connect to net. So i start finding help on net. Finally i find UR post. So help me plz.
Call Airtel Customer support and get the GPRS settings. Then manually insert them to setting --> all settings --> connections --> connections
Its simple
you need to go to connections>connections, delete the existing settings which might be t-mobile... then use connection setup to apply your settings
edit: ok cool, for some reason t-mobile setting doesn't delete when applying new settings, these settings must be deleted manually
works GREAT
good job.
how we can check the settings to delete manually.
connections> connections> manage existing connections> general> delete settings
thanks guys

Hello..I have the required tmo stock rom. If I install this it would erase the bloatware? or will that be an update you are working on. I noticed the zipped cab says service pack 1 but you say sp2 will erase folders.? I just want to erase the bloatware to give me more ram space so phone will be faster, is this cab for me?..thanks
about the bloatware, it will remove the links... its easy to remove the folders, just connect via usb and remove them, either via the pc or on the device... folders located in the programs directory... block buster, mobitv etc.
the game folders are located on the sd card
