Received my HD2 today and was able to install Voice Command 1.6 (the full retail version). Installation produced an error and while the program is installed and operable, I have found no way to attach Voice Command to a long button press for the Answer button of the phone. I did find the settings for Button Assignments, but cannot make any changes. Any suggestions?
BTW, this is running on the T-Mobile USA network. Works great and has synced with Windows Mobile Device Center on Windows 7 Ultimate.

Voice Commander
Same problem here. Did you find a solution? Or have any other XDA members got any ideas?
Hi, same question here, how would someone activate voice command on htc hd2? I've even tried "voldpad" but no success...
I really hope there is an answer for this one...
P.S. the only way i got it to work is with my old nokia bluetooth headset. still would be nice to activate it without it.
There's another thread on Voice Command. In my case T-Mobile (USA) and got set up beautifully using Windows 7. Error on loading otherwise OK. I can initiate VC from my Bluetooth headset but all replies come out of the handset speakers.
I'm sure I read about someone using AEButton and mapping VC to a long press of the Windows button.
Left softkey for MS Voice Command
Here is the way to change the homekeys IN TFLO 3D.
Guys, here's a solution to your problem. Map the left softkey to Voice Command rather than having it activate the phone. The phone can be activated using the end call button which sits just below the left softkey. Better to use left softkey for something more useful. Here's how to do it:
In a registry editor, go to:
HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/
Here is:
HomeLSKAguments Change to "Voice"
HomeLSKPath, which is the left softkey (Standard = Phone) Change to "\Programs\Voice Command\VoiceCmd.exe"
And
HomeLSKText = Left softkey text Change to "Voice" or whatever text you wish to use.
Don't use the punctuation marks as above, no need. Just type the text as above.
Exit the registry editor app. & then soft reset & Voila! You can now activate MS Voice Command from your left softkey.
Will it work in other languages?

Yes it will work in any language as long as the path to Voice Command is correct.
Voice Control Configger
Hi,
I incorporated your registry settings into my Voice Control Configger.

If you have any suggestions let me know.
It will look for Voice command on the phone and on the storage card. If your phone has a different storage card location let me know. If someone can tell me the registry settings for the PPC install path I will add that to my app.
Thanks for posting this!

MS Voice Command problems!
MS Voice Command problems!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have some problems with the Ms Voice Command:
I had installed two of the CABs of this program, which I had found here in one of the threads:
"Microsoft.Voice.Command.v1.6.21725.cab"
"MSVC-1.0 Control.cab" (for setting the "TFlo3d Phone key" to the "Voice Command Button").
I also set to "Set rate to 1 Slower" and "Increase the volume to 5"
The problems:
1. The play-back/response of the program is very fast and usually can't be understood.
2. When I'm Trying to call by saying a phone number (e.g. "Dial 04-818-2905"), the program doesn't understand my command numbers and repeats a wrong number. Someone said that it happens because I'm using maybe the US version and I have to use the UK one. Any one know how can I get a UK version?
3. I lost my hope and I'm trying to remove the program, but I'm getting an announcement that the program can't be fully uninstalled. Practically the program isn't removed. I made a few reboots, I made reinstall, I set the "TFlo3d Phone key" back to "phone" (it's still functioning as a "Voice Command Button").
Can someone help me with one or some of those problems? especially with removing the program, before I'll need no make a full-reset

1. The playback can be adjusted in the registry as follows:
Go to HKCU\Software > Microsoft > Speech > Voices & change 'DefaultTTSRate' form 5 to 4 or 3. Mine is set to 4 & works fine.
2. I purchased UK retail version from Handango.
Should mention that VC works on the 1st time its opened as it should i.e. everything announced through the headset then the commands are repeated through the device speaker.

I have voice Command working through my bluetooth. But if I initiate it from my bluetooth it will only come out of my handset. But I copied and pasted voicecmd.exe as a shortcut in my "windows/start menu/Programs" so it would show up in the start menu then assigned one of my quick links to voicecmd. When I initiate the voice command from my phone it will then will play through my bluetooth. It is a bit irritating to have to use it this way but has been working well for me after getting use to it.

Is there a way to keep everything going through the device speaker? I find it annoying when I have my device tucked away somewhere else whilst driving. I would like everything to go through my bluetooth device..

Thanks for this tip. I will give this a go... voice dialing without looking at, or fiddling too much with my device was the key reason for using MSVC... this is the best workaround I have seen so far. I will try use this with AE button plus as well and perhaps assign a long press to volume up to activate it....
I do hope they sort this rubbish out! It really shouldn't be like this. I used MSVC on my Diamond2 running a LEO rom with 6.5 and Sense (Dutty's HGR6)... I NEVER had any problems... what the heck is going on here? Perhaps its due to the BT stack? I have another BT headset arriving soon... a Motorola Endeavour HX1 which is fairly new... I will report and see if it makes a difference when I get it....
Edit: I tried this with my Nokia BH-801.... and it didnt work Arrrrggghhh!!! I am so disappointed When I tap the VC icon on the HD2, sound and mic is still via the HD2 (untill the call is activated... then it works via the headset). It works the same way via the BT headset too... I press the button on the BT headset and all sounds and mic pickup is via the HD2 as well.... till the call activates and then it goes via the headset....
I´ve installed the german version of voice commander, 160.422 with radio 2.06.51. and i can´t understand a word, it´s to fast.
I´ve also tried the mcvc-control program and changed the speed to 1, made direct changes in the directory with no effects, i can´t understand anything, and so its a little bit dufficult to react with the program.
The program itself seems to be ok, but how can i slow down this runnig messages?

I've finally ported to XDAs my old project that adds a functionality to the empty button in a "Phone" application, so by pressing it you can select any contact to dial. The program supports contact groups and several phone numbers per contact. The screenshot is:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
screenshot is in Russian, but the English version is also available. Only English, Russian, Italian OSes are supported.
The program behaves correctly when the call is in progress, so you can "held" a call or perform any other functions mapped to this button.

Mamaich, very nice, I really hated that tiny little box at the bottom. Just played around for a minute but looks good. What do you think about having the categories as boxes (like the dial pad) 2 or 3 in a row that way it would make the one handed approach work better. Just an idea.
Speed Dial
Does this allow system characters (e.g. "#") to be send as a quick dial?
The normal phone operation doesn't support this - it insists that these characters have to be keyed in on the phone keypad - which means I cannot "speed call" my divert / divert-cancel settings.

Probably it is not. I use the same system function that is used by a "Contacts" application to dial a number.
Wow!, that is a really usefull little addon!, thanks for that, i think i am going to find that very usefull,
I assumed the box that popped up in russian on the ppc after installing said to do a reset? as thats what i did and it worked
mamaich, did some more testing. very nice.
I like that I can use the D-pad to scroll up & down through the list then click the center to call and that your app closes once the number is dialed otherwise like the phone app you have to go back and close it after making a call. Would be nice if the left&Right could be use for your back&next. That would make the D-pad fully functional and you would only have to click your contacts button leaving all other control to the D-pad.
Aleternatively your program is not a .exe file so at this point it is not possible to set it to a button(i.e. button 2-contacts). What do you think.
:lol: really useful tool and its free
mamaich ur the man :lol:
really utilised that ugly little empty spot in the phone menu this tool seems like its meant to fill up that spot
suggestions
hi, very nice usage of the empty button on the dialer screen.
one suggestion/modification though.
is it possible that if we press that "Contacts" Button, we are also given the option of attaching some 'exe' file to it?
e.g, i use FingerClix a lot, so is it possible that if i click the "contacts" button i assosiate it with FingerClix. and by pressing it, FinderClix launches??
That's a kick ass little addition you did there! Thanks a lot for that.

It is possible to add any function to this button. But it would require additional coding. I don't use FingerClix because it does not have Russian keyboard.
Re: suggestions
I've uploaded a new built to:
http://mamaich.kasone.com/imate/SetupNewENG.rar (only English version).
This build allows you to use joystick right/left to press "Next"/"Back" buttons, pressing joystick down in "Phone" main dialog is mapped to "Contacts" button, and archive includes a program that can be mapped to the "contacts" button.
If you have already installed a previous version of the program you should not uninstall it. This Setup would correctly update the old build.
Known problems:
Uninstall is not working yet. To manually uninstall program you should delete file "\Windows\StartUp\CprogHook.exe", reboot, then uninstall should process fine.
Joystick keys are processed when they are pressed, but normal "Phone" application processes them on "keyup" message (i.e. on release). This can potentially cause duplicated keypresses.

One comment: contacts that have a company name only (and no first/last name) are listed with no name at all in the list. Also, people's names are listed in lastname, firstname order.
Could you make the list display configurable? I prefer John Smith to Smith John, and could you display the company name if there is no personal name?
Perhaps you could provide a list of name display options?
Thanks again

With a Jabra BT800 and the attached file, you can have BT voice dial with the click of two buttons!
One button on the BT800, I press the first button, then on the PDA2, I have to press the second button.. This sucks having to press two buttons, especially the one on the PDA2 but, it is ok.
The first button transfers the audio and mic to the BT800.
The second button is a button mapped to the attached program or to a link for that program. You must put the program or the link,(shortcut), in the \windows\Start Menu\Programs for the button mapping settings to see it.
I have tried Fonix and MS and they suck. MS took over the whole dam PPC and Fonix was not accurate.
After training the attached program, (click, settings, Digit Dialling, Adapt digits), the one from the MPX300, (Voicesignal), works better and it is a simple and working program.
Only Jabra BT800?
Cool! :shock:
Only the PDA button is not needed... hehe :lol:
Do you know if this app only work with Jabra BT800?

On the O2 XDAIIi and the PDA2, any BT headset that transfers the audio to the device when you press the button on the device, should work. You may have to be in Handsfree Mode..

you have the audio and mic transferd to the headset.,
On my wifes MPX300, while in Headset Mode using the HBH662, (strange that it ONLY works that way and not if I add HandsfreeProfileOn in the reg to make it Hands Free Profile!), when you press the button on the Headset, it not only transfers to audio and mic to the headset but also starts the Voicestream program automatically. The MPX300 does this with most headset devices as well, I am just suprized that the Handsfree Profile does not work with the HBH662 because that is the only way caller ID will work.
The MPX300 must have a special driver that also calls up the voicestream program automatically.
Or, if any one knows of a way to change the registry to not only make the audio and mic transfer but also start a program all from a button push on the BT headset, you would win my love and affection! :shock:

You're saying that u can transfer regular audio to the headset, we all know there's a workaround that enables that option, but it doesn't really transfer any audio. When u press the button on the headset, u can actually hear an audio stream (like a hissing sound) but no audio is really transferred. same issue for the microphone.

But in the file that you uploaded.

How can I use that file ?
You said that put it in \Wndows\StartMenu\Programs ,Which one?
and What about anotherone file ?

Yes, here is my daughter's friend. She hears music on the BT800.
You can not here her well but she said that she can here music and that she sprayed her self in the face with pepper spray today. (being silly), and then I put the speaker to the mic on the front of the PDA2.
You see, on the PDA2, (most likey on the XDAIIi too), the audio gets transferd to the BT headset when you press the "answer" button when you are not in a phone call.
This is true for the HBH662 and the BT800.
I am sure that the sound is going through the mic on the BT devices.

Put the file on your device, right click on it, select Copy. Go to \Wndows\StartMenu\Programs right click and select Paste Shortcut. You can make a new folder if you want too, it just hast to be there to be mapped to a button.

I don't like every phone call and alarm be read.
I suggested the following to Spb ( because I use Spb Pocket Plus & Spb Diary )
But mabye ( I know there is a tool for Ringtone Profiles, but I want more! ) there is a software out there that maybe does what I am looking for.
----
Hi, I have an idea for either a new product or a plugin for Pocket Plus. I call it "Power Profiles". As a business & private user of an MDA Vario I also have docking stations, one at home and one in the office.
Many MDA Vario Users ( which is basically the HTC Wizard ) use their PPC the same way I do. So bascially when I get into the office, first thing I do is turn of the phone volume and give the PPC only half the volume ( for appointments, reminders, etc. ).
One special thing on some dockingstations is that you can have your PPC sitting in front of you ( in the docking station ). My dock has the neat option that you have the MDA sitting their in landscape mode, which is great but also bad at the same time. Because with Diary & Pocket Plus installed in landscape their just isn't enough space on the screen.
So the Plugin would create Profile Shortcuts and do the following. I have two profiles setup, one called HOME the other called OFFICE.
I tap on a shortcut on the today screen (OFFICE) it:
1. Sets the volumes as I need them
2. Turns the screen into landscape
3. Turns off Pocket Plus ( or hides it, it only matters that Diary gets the full landscape view )
4. The Display light gets turned up all the way
Once I am on my way home, I tap on the another shortcut (HOME) which then:
1. Sets the volumes as I need them
2. Turns the screen into normal view
3. Turns ON Pocket Plus ( or makes it visible again )
4. The Display is set to my normal level ( two levels under the max )
Of course their could be lots more stuff that a realy Profile Program could/should do ( Different Ringtone Settings, Different Theme in the Office then at Home - don't wanna show your boss your girlfriend all the time now do you ;-), Different Items displayed on the Today Screen, etc. etc. )
So maybe you are able to think about my suggestions, it would be a great addition to your product portfolio I believe )
Very good idea! Not seen any software like that and just done a search in my normal sites - mainly freeware. Maybe a commercial one somewhere but none on a google search. Hope SPB listen to you
Hmm, funny, i was thinking in the same direction.
And why not let the 'Power on/off and 'USB connect' (etc) events trigger the profiles also ?
After developing the Tomtom Navigate2 script, i think i can do it, if i get enough information on the desired settings.
- Like BT on/off ; Needs a 'real' tool, there's no internal command, and changing regkey ain't enough.
So solved it with a script that calls BTon/BToff tool and changes regkey of the BT headset profile:
Ok, BT On/Off + BR Profile Toggle works !
What do i need then ?
"What setings should be changeable ? "
My suggestion :
- BT + BT HeadsetProfile (Done !)
- "ActiveSync when Craddled" option On/Off (Done !)
- Change Today Theme ? Would be nice.. (Not even looked at...)
The suggestions i just heard :
- Change ScreenRotation (isn't there a free tool for it ?)
- Change Today Items.
- Change Display Birgightness.
"How do we change these settings ?"
- BT is done,
- ASync is done,
- Screen rotation; Need commandtool (Doesn't VJ have a tool that does this ?) + Subroutine for script. So done, apart from writing it in the tool
- Screenrotation; if there is a commandtool for it, same as for 'Screen Rotation'
- Change Today items; Haven't got a clue, is thanging regkey and refersh today enough ?
- Display brightness; idem as Today Items....
So, let's get it rolling then
That would be so wonderful if this could be achieved! I have absolutly no plan on how do to it - but I have the ideas 8) :lol:
Pocket Plus lets you also rotate the screen with a tap on the screen, but what I wanted to achive is automation - simply by click ONE shortcut it does the whole thing for me - I am know I am a lazy person but hey thats a reason I got myself a PPC :wink:
This is similar to the one thing I miss from my nokia phones which is one click profiles for outdoor, indoor, meeting, etc. hope something comes of this.
What about PocketZenPhone???
PZP lets you set up anywhere from 2 to 7 profiles, controlling virtually everything you might associate with a profile, such as:
- ring / vibrate / volume / flash (and about a dozen variant combinations)
- the above for notification on just about any kind of event
- power settings for each profile both on battery and corded power
More features than it makes sense to list here. But I've been playing with it over the last couple of days. Very clean, and very functional. Many ways to use it also -
- today plugin (just tap an icon to switch profiles)
- task tray popup
- menu
- automated switching in sync with pocket Outlook
I've also traded email with the developer (zendrui) and it turns out to be pretty straightforward to get MS Voice Command to also switch profiles - I should have this all set up in the next hour. Love the idea of tapping the button to invoke Voice Command and just telling it to go to "silent" or "meeting", and having all settings adjusted at once.
Pocket Zen Phone
Hello all,
Check http://zendrui.free.fr . This sw is very good and keeps beeing updated.
Yes, this is a great program.... it is amazingly small for what it does and it does an amazing amount. It even controls which radio's are on or off and when.
Anyway... here is the link to open the forum thread that has 6.0 beta 7 http://zendrui.free.fr/PZPForum/viewforum.php?f=5
When I had Nokia phone, I used a program called miniGPS from Psiloc.com. This was the best program for profile switching. It worked by detecting all the cells at a location and allowing those cells to be put into a group. Then I could create events like "upon entering group, switch to meeting profile, turn off bluetooth, map the keys to do this...change screen saver, change wallpaper to this one..." etc. and upon exit from the cell group, change the ringer volume to max, switch wallpaper, and so on. Unfortunately, the Windows mobile equivalent of this program does not work on 8125. The PocketZenPhone is nowhere close. It works on fixed time basis. What if at that time I am not in office? Though I like the 8125, I badly miss the miniGPS program. It is sad that such a nice utility is not available for Windows.

Sounds really powerful, although I'm not sure I'd want the phone deciding when to switch profiles for me.
I've been experimenting with a set of shortcuts to invoke each profile, renaming them to be meaningful to me, such as, "HomeProfile", "OfficeProfile", "Silent", etc. Then I can use Voice Command to switch by saying something like "Run Silent" or "Run HomeProfile"...and it does.
One thing I liked about the built-in profile capability on the Nokia's we have is the fact that they would switch to my headset profile when I plugged in a pair of headphones, or when I simply turned on my pre-paired BT headset -- THAT was nice. I'd be curious to see how WM5 recognizes such an event -- I'd think that zendrui, the author of PocketZenPhone, would be able to hook such an event and offer us the option of having it trigger a profile change.
Here is the freeware version of Pocketzenphone 4.5.1 tested on my phone and works well. You have to fiddle with the settings but I got it working properly . If you like it can buy the full version 5 euros I think which is cheap. (me prob will)
I bought the currently shipping version (5.52?) and it works fine...but I wanted to try installing the shortcuts to invoke the various profiles, and the cabs that automatically create and install them (and the associated EXE's) in the right dirs assume NEW directory structures different than what the currently shipping version (5.52) uses. Instead, the new dir structure corresponds to the beta of version 6.0 -- currently at beta 7 I believe, and quite stable. I suspect it's nearing commercial release.
Anyway - ver 6 beta 7 can be downloaded free, and will function for a month. If you like it, it's something like $8 directly from the site, or $10 via Handango or a couple of others. This also buys you all future releases, and the author continues to upgrade this regularly. It's a good deal.
I tried to download 6.0 beta 7 but unable too. If anyone else has any joy please post
what about this one found on modaco http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=205779? it's free and wm5 compatable. i've not tried it. if you do, please report your opinion.

Just looking at the screens suggest to me that, while this one might work, it has far less control than PZP. Might be worth a try, but I like controlling power, backlight, vibration, etc along with ringtones and volume.
The Modaco Tool works, but as stated is by no means as powerful as ZenPhone.
Another problem with the modaco tool for me ( and many others, just check their forum ) is that after you UNINSTALL the tool it will most likely mess up your ringtones/settings.
Lucky me I had a backup of my system so I could recover without a hitch. The problem was that I had some weird ringtones listed that did not work and were actually never on my system and I could not choose any other ringtones after the uninstall.
I am gonna give Zenphone a try, it looks promising but also time consuming to setup - will give it a go this evening.
thanks jon for both tips. pzp beta won't download I think cuz I am browsing on pda and sometimes cabs won't download. Got ppcprofiles though great find well done. Initial testing promising.

This program could be what you're looking for: http://www.vijay555.com/index.php?Releases:VJVolubilis
It's developed by vijay555 of this XDA-forum!
It creates shortcuts in the start > programs menu, to toggle BlueTooth, WiFi, IrdA and in the latest version it even toggles Phone Radio. You can put the shortcut tot Bluetooth toggle and wifi toggle as an icon on the todayscreen usining any program launcher or you can put them in the system tray using PHM traylaunch as i have done. Only nag is that you have to switch wifi on from the Commmanager only once before the shortcut works. Then no problem until the next soft-reset.

thank you i'll give that a shot now
I use this tool to turn/off Bluetooth for my headset in the car. Its a really usefully little helper!
You can even edit the .ink files so that you do NOT get a status message on the screen ( which I would have to click away to see my today screen again ).
i installed the cab and have found the shortcuts, however i get an error when i tap any of them- any ideas ? Also how do i intergrate your cool icons to the shortcuts ?
thanks,
malty
maltloaf: you may be getting errors because you installed to a non default location. There are warnings I hope on my site, but I've been too busy to write a custom installer, so the provided shortcuts are hard coded for English default installation. If you change location, they don't work. But just edit them and you should be able to change the location so they point to the right place.
I've (hopefully) added GPRS control as well, as of yesterday, so can finally re-visit Wizard wifi and get it fixed as a next step to global domination, bwaa haa haa...
The status messages will also be tarted up as an upcoming update.
To change icons - search my username for the word "completeness" for various posts.

ok can see the link working now i installed it on the device rather than the storage card. I'm having a little trouble getting a working link to your ready made shortcuts in phm traylaunch.

how to change the icons:
step 1:
Find the icons you would like to use. My bluetooth icon comes from a program called CicleBT, which is also a Bluetooth switcher but has an annoying confirmed-message. i got it here: http://www.winmobileapps.com/device/pocketpc/cbt/cbt.aspx
My wifi-icon comes from the wifitray.exe file in the \windows diretory.
Step 2:
Modify the shortcuts (also to redirect them to the locationwhere you installed Vijay's VJVolubilis program.
The shortcuts are placed in the folder:
\windows\startmenu\programs\vijay555\VJVolubilis\
I changed the BT-toggle shortcut from:
73#"\Program Files\vijay555\VJVolubilis\VjVolubilis.exe" -status -bluetoggle
to: (i have a Dutch rom so my Program Files folder is called Programmabestanden)
73#"\Programmabestanden\vijay555\VJVolubilis\VjVolubilis.exe" -status -bluetoggle?\programmabestanden\CicleBT\CicleBT.exe,-101
(where after the questionmark is the location of the icon)
and changed the wifi-toggle shortcut from:
73#"\Program Files\vijay555\VJVolubilis\VjVolubilis.exe" -status -wifitoggle
to:
73#"\Programmabestanden\vijay555\VJVolubilis\VjVolubilis.exe" -status -wifitoggle?\windows\wifitray.exe,-105
(You could also remove "-status" from the above strings so that you don;t get a confirmation message.)
you are a star, i just go my wifi icon working perfectly using your instructions. Thank you.
maltloaf: what are you using for your wifi control app?
V
PS anyone tried the GPRS yet? It's untested AFAIK... I'd like to know if it works
@ vijay555
Hi! I'm also using VJVolubilis and i like it very much! I have 2 shortcuts in my bottomtray to toggle Bluetooth and Wifi. (see above screenshot)
I tested the GPRS toggle and this also works like a charm!
But i'm having some problems with the radio toggle: when radio is on and i click on a shortcut to switch it off (- radiotoggle) it switches perfectly to flightmode. But when i then click again on the shortcut (- radiotoggle) it tries to switch the radio back on again but i get an antenna-symbol with a explanationmark, No Service! This problem also accures when using the command -radioon, but does does not appear when using the build in (clicking the network icon an selecting flightmode off) way.
Furthermore i tried -AGon and -AGoff commands and they also work fine!!! I have paired my bluetooth headset to my device a couple weeks ago. When i now click a shortcut -AGon it turns on Bluetooth and i get instandly the sound over my (mono) headset (I do not have to push any further buttons to make it work). Soundquality is not so good but that surely has to do with my lowbudget headset! Also -AGoff works just fine! My question: does this mean that when i buy a stereo bluetooth headset the sound would be much better?
So the only problem i ran into was to switch the radio back on, that doesn't work for me!
My configuration:
- T-Mobile MDA Vario
- Latest version VJVolubilis (downloaded today april 12th at 09.00 am)
- ROM version: Qtek 2.18.7.6 NLD
- ROM date: 2/22/2006
- Radioversion: 02.07.10
- Protocolversion: 413.1.03
- Windows Mobile 5.1.195 (build 14847.2.0.0)
- Headset: Cellink Mini Bluetooth Headset BTHS 6023-F
- Not using Voice Command
1-2tje: I'll look into it. I have the same headset as you, I think it's a generic - mine was branded "Medion", but I know other shops that sell it
Not sure why the radio on off wouldn't work. I'll look into it. You're not using a sim switcher or anything are you?
Has anyone else tried this on WM5? I've only tried radio switching on WM2003 and the WM5 Emulator.
Regarding the stereo bluetooth, the sound works in a different way and is a much higher quality. Read some reviews though, some apps don't work well with the limited bluetooth bandwidth, but it will certainly sound better then the little headset

No not using any sim switcher or something like it. It would be nice if radio toggle would work
I created some icons to put in the traylaunch for your shortcuts. Maybe someone else is interested
The icons are in the attached toggleico.dll.
gprs = -1
bluetooth = -2
radio = -3
wifi = -4
vijay555, or anyone, I'm using your VjVolubilis and VJDevicelock to turn off my wifi, turn on my bluetooth, and lock my device before I ride my motorcycle. I'm using two links, one for VjVolubilis and one for VJDevicelock but would like to do it all with one button. Is there a way to execute 2 programs in one lnk file or some other method to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Mike
P.S. VjVolubilis will not turn my wifi on for the first time ater a reset but works fine for on, off and toggle after I use the connection manager to turn it on. I have a cingular 8125 with the new Cingular_RUU_WIZARD_217_AKU2_WWE rom.
holmanm: I only have a Universal (and Magician), not a Wizard, so I'm stuck when it comes to testing on that hardware. But I'm trying to work on a more generic solution, not hardware specific.
To execute more then one app, use mortscript, or if your Japanese is slightly more fluent then mine, ExecMulti. No, I can't tell you how to use it
1-2tje - that's a great solution! Looks cool - any chance of a bigger screenshot though, for context?

Just to clarify re: the GPRS function, does this totally disable GPRS? At the moment I have a dummy GPRS connection set up as my default (to stop GPRS accidentally being used when I'm surfing over a wifi connection), and switch back to the 'real' GPRS connection when I need to use it. Obviously, though, it's a bit of a PITA and having a 'disable GPRS' option (without disabling the phone) would be really handy....
large image with my custom made icons:
I'm not happy yet with the GPRS and Radio icons. I 'borrowed' the Bluetooth and Wifi icons from other programs but the GPRS and Radio i have to create myself and that's not so easy. I would really like to have "interactive" icons such as Comm Manager icon. Where you see a red cross when disabled en the icon turns green when enabeld! Any idea how to do this? Is it for a part programming or is it just a maater of putting different icons in a dll file? I suppose there is a programming aspect because the program has to know wich icon to use. Do you have any ideas about this?
Webreaper: no, hopefully it's just the same as tapping the GPRS icon and perssing connect/disconnect. It should use your default GPRS connection. I haven't made it disable GPRS (yet).
1-2tje: Nice shot, thanks.
Just an idea - you can rip the original icons from the OS, they're in shellapp.96.dll or something like that. I've got some posts on the issue somewhere.
What you're suggesting would be fairly tough to implement. I could make VJVolubilis return a return/error value to indicate if a particular function is enabled/disabled (eg Wifi is on = 1, off = 0). However, returning several values (eg bluetooth, wifi etc) would be confusing. But either way, you would then need a tray launcher app able to respond to this error value and update the tray icon accordingly. I don't know of any app that can do this.
Theoretically I could build tray icons into VJVolubilis, but I think for now it goes against the idea of what the app is to me (a tool to be used with other launchers). I may consider building in an interface and other interface options later.
This is a confusing possiblity, but you could, I think, use something like mortscript. This would work thus:
Make a mortscript to:
1. Launch VJVolubilis -wifion.
2. Use a taskkiller to kill a VJTrayLaunch icon.
3. Launch VJTrayLaunch to ANOTHER mortscript to launch VJVolublis -wifioff.
Also making a matching companion for the OFF version.
So the idea: launch VJTrayLaunch shortcut to mortscript for ON version. The ON version would do wifion, and remove the old icon, and launch a new icon. So clicking the icon removes old icon and adds a new one.
Complicated, and might not work, but could work!

But how do you toggle the GPRS connection with VJVolubilis ?
What is the command line or how do you do this ?

A2DPTOGGLE 1.1
This software will install as a today or home plugin and offer the user the possibility of instantly switching the audio between Device Speaker, A2DP Stereo Headsets and Speakerphone.

What’s new in 1.1?
- 1.1 can be used with Smartphones as well
- Battery power consumption reduced
- Improved interface
- additional parameters for A2DP.exe
- speakerphone support
Installation
Visit http://www.teksoftco.com section Freeware and download A2DPToggle CAB file. To learn how to install a CAB file on your device, see http://www.teksoftco.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3714#3714
Configuration
After A2DPToggle is installed, you will need to pair your A2DP Wireless Stereo Device (Headset, Loudspeaker) to your Windows Mobile device.
The A2DP Device must support the service called "wireless stereo" or "audio/video". Make sure you select one of these services when pairing.
The Interface
This software comes with a sophisticated “alphablended” interface that will integrate perfectly in your today screen.
For the Pocket PC version, there are two layouts that can be used, a big fingerfriendly one, and a small layout, to save today space.
With the A2DP device paired, you can use the Play and the Stop buttons in the plugin interface. Only one of these two buttons will be visible at a time, stop, if A2DP is enabled and start if A2DP is disabled. This change comes to save some interface space.
Next to the Start/Stop button there is a Speakerphone button that you can use to enable/disable the speakerphone while in a phone call.
The third button opens the Settings Panel. signal indicator that will show your bluetooth link status.
There are two indicators as well, one for the status of the A2DP device: OK (when the pairing is correctly completed and the headset is connected to the device), Err (when the headset is not yet paired) and Off (when the headset is out of the device's Bluetooth coverage radius, or when the headset is turned off/disconnected). To be able to use "Start/Stop", this status indicator must show OK.
The second indicator shows the Bluetooth status.
The Settings Panel:
"Handle Bluetooth automatically" would turn bluetooth on when you press start (play), and off when you press stop.
"Execute file after start" would run the specified application when you press "Start/Play", by default this is set to Media Player.
"Fingerfriendly GUI" allows you to switch between the two layouts presented above.
Tested on Imate Ultimate 8150/wm6.0, HTC Universal WM5.0, eten m600+/wm5.0.
Smartphone support
From this version, A2DP Toggle can be installed on Smartphones as well (no touchscreen).
To toggle the A2DP mode on and off use the Icon in Programs. Tap on it to enable A2DP then tap again to disable it.
A2DP.exe Parameters
You can execute this module directly. The supported parameters are:
A2dp.exe –bluetooth: on|off [-a2dp: on|off] [-spk] [-switch]
Parameters:
Bluetooth enables/disables the Bluetooth radio
A2dp enables/disables voice routing to headset
Spk enables/disables speakerphone
Switch enables/disables A2DP
Using A2dp.exe without parameters is the same as using the –switch parameter.
Details regarding internal functionality
The devices that support A2DP (most wm6.0 bluetooth devices), come with 2 audio drivers installed:
1) The "Audio Output" Driver (supported since ppc 2002)
2) The "Bluetooth Advanced Audio Output" Driver, that is responsible of sending audio data over a L2CAP Bluetooth connection, as per A2DP protocol
When the user connects a Stereo A2DP headset, and selects the "Wireless Stereo" profile, the Bluetooth Adv. Audio Output becomes the nr. 1 audio output route, and is indexed as the First audio driver. Any application will output sound by using that driver.
The problem is that sometimes we are already listening to audio in the device's speakers, and then suddenly we want to switch the output to our a2dp headsets - this is sometimes problematic, as the First audio driver changes from "Audio Output" to "Bluetooth Adv. Audio Output" and the applications currently playing audio need to be restarted.
For such issues, we've provided a tool, as freeware, that will install as a today plugin and offer the user the possibility of instantly switching the audio between Device Speaker and A2DP Stereo Headset.
It is designed for WM5.0/WM6.0 and above, Microsoft Bluetooth stack, please download it and let us know how it works for you.

I have been previous version for long time and I really really like it. Very handy program for those have a BT headphone for music.
Now, for this verison. The finger friendly version is good but takes more today space hence your compress version
For suggestion for the small version.
Buttons are too small. Maybe just widen the buttons like previous versions? (there are still space on the far right hand side.)
Thank you.
I love the idea, only with this today plugin your are competing with manilla. For that, and those users, i advice standard icons for switching all the options. So i can add those to the programs tab
Edit:
I see a shortcut added directly to the start menu, my bad. Though i opt not for the start menu only, it should be at least also in the programs folder and maybe even a sub folder with all possible switches per icon.

Thanks for the suggestions, I might try to add a user definable skin system for a next release.

This is a very good idea, next version will create a Shortcut Group, as you said, for all the available switches. Thanks!
I've heard that skype is working only with the speaker of the device.. with this app it's possible to swap the conversation to the speakerphone?
This is a great tool, since I can use this with M2D. If you add icons to the Programs group then the tool is even better, but I just decomposed the install and added my shortcuts to get this functionality...not hard at all.
One other question. In your registry setup you have a reg entry called ExecPath, which points to WMP. What is the use for this reg entry, and can it be changed to my media player of choice instead?

Thanks......
Have you fixed the bug which crashes my Touch Pro when used with TouchFlo3D running?

the speakerphone button can be used while talking on the phone.
skype output goes to the speakerphone by default, phone conversations go to the earpiece speaker.

Thanks. Shortcuts should be added soon, but I'm waiting for more ideas before making a new release.
ExecPath is used by the a2dptoggle today plugin, if option "Execute file after Start" is enabled, after pressing Start the path in ExecPath is executed, and yes you can change this to your fav player.

Not yet. I need to search this forum and see if TouchFlo3D can be installed on other devices then intended.
BTW: you can enable DebugMode from the registry, by settings the key :
HKLM\Software\Teksoft\A2DPToggle\EnableDebug to 1. Then reset the device and notice the log files in the root of the device. Run a few tests then send me the files.

The debug log looks fine.
Anyone else tested this together with touchflo?
I'm using Widcomm/Broadcom Stack 1.7.1 Build 3400 you can download here.
I installed your programm and it shows [Err] on the Headset Icon and [Off] on the BT Icon, but BT is on!
I really love your programm but I have to use this stack, cause with MS Stack I can't hear music..
