Unless I disable the cell radio, then it starts up fine.
If I dont put the phone in airplane mode, it takes like 10 minutes to start up. if I put the phone in airplane mode, it starts up right now.
Has anyone tried this software?
Thanks,
Jeff
thank you for the tip of turning the cellphone off.
iguidance on my t-mobile tp2 also has the same problem. at least I can use it now.
All you have to do is to disconnect your data connection. Once iGuidance starts you can reconnect the data connection, it has something to do with a proxy/dummy DNS entry that gets created upon a data connection. At least this is the case with AT&T.
Yes disconnect your data connection. A-GPS will auto start to quickly get a gps lock on your device.
My question or problem is getting the TTS (Text to speech) to work consistently. It works sometimes but not all the time. Do any of you have this intermittent problem?

Yea, I have done this, it works about half the time, the other half, either the phone freezes when I restart the data or it shuts down the Iguidance on me.
I did some research and found a mortscript that disables data, starts Iguidnace, then restarts data, but this does not do anything when I run it.
Yes I have morstscript installed and use it for other things.
Thanks,
Jeff
I cannot recreate the issue on my device as we are running different custom Roms as well as phones. I am sure the the Energy Rom has the built in "Terminate Data Connection" from HTC. Maybe the mortscript is adding to your problems. All I do is disable my data connection and iguidance starts almost immediately. You should try without the script.

This is what I was hoping for.

yea is there a fix for the tts speech problem because it does not announce the street names! please help me fix this asap and reply back please thanks
I know this thread is way old... but if you want to permanently fix the Iguidance issue on ATT without playing games disabling the radio do this:
You will need 2 public dns servers... I think you can use Google's Public dns servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) I use my own servers.
Go to Settings > Connections > connections > manage existing connections>
Choose the "MEdia Net" connection and press "edit".
Click "next"
Click "next"
On the screen with the username / pass press "Advanced"
Select the "Servers" tab.
Select "Use specific server address"
Enter your DNS servers for "DNS" and "ALT DNS"
Leave "Wins" and "ALT Wins" as 0.0.0.0
Press "Ok"
Press "Finish"
Reboot to take effect right away.
If you have trouble simply go back there and choose "Use server-assigned addresses" to undo this.
The issue is that if IGuidance sees you have wins servers it wants to use them. ATT assigns bogus wins servers 10.11.12.13 and 10.11.12.14. They don’t exist. IGuidance has to wait for it's Wins requests to time out... and that takes minutes.. and seems like hours.

There was an old thread I found somewhere on either XDA or ppcgeeks that had some tips. There was a mortscript that stopped a bunch of apps and turned off HTC Sense. It then waited for you to end iGuidance and it turned HTC Sense back on at that point. It worked on my WinMo 6.5 - Sense 2.1 ROM but failed miserably when I went to a WinMo 6.5 - Sense 2.5 ROM. In fact, I think the script was part of reason I had to hard reset (it messed a ton of stuff up the first time I ran it)... I think the other part was Cookie's Home Tab.
But, now, whenever I need iGuidance, I manually turn of Sense and it runs fine. To me, it really looks like a lack of available RAM is the issue with Text To Speech not working. When I'm done, I turn Sense back on and I am good to go.

My 8125 is about a month old now and it is great. It’s my first experience with push email and it’s wonderful. I do have a few problems that I can not find a fix for. I have read many forums and have come to the conclusion that these features are either broke or were meant to work incorrectly.
1.) If you leave Pocket Outlook as the foreground task the 8125 will not notify you in any way that you have a new message. You have to turn the device on to check for new email. If Pocket Outlook is not running or its running in the background the phone will beep and the orange light will blink. If the phone is in standby it should notify you of a new message no matter what.
2.) The Bluetooth LED is always blinking. I always use a Bluetooth headset and it’s very common when I am driving to leave iNav GPS software running that uses a Bluetooth GPS. There is no reason for me to ever turn Bluetooth off so I do not need to be notified it is on or off. It would be nice if I could change the Bluetooth LED to notify me of voice mail or a missed call and the orange light can be used for new push email or SMS/MMS messages.
3.) When you open the keyboard it should light up. If you are in a dark room you have to open the keyboard the press a key to get it to light up. I also have not found a way to change how long it stays on for. There are a few reg hacks that claim they change the time but they do not work on my 8125.
4.) Every time I use WiFi I have to change my internet profile so it does not use a proxy. When you turn the WiFi radio on it should automatically change that info. When you turn WiFi off it should change it back automatically.
The following two have nothing to do with the 8125 but if someone has a fix it would be helpful.
5.) When you use push email your IT department can force a policy on the phone to ask for a password every 30 min of inactivity. This is a real pain if you are using a GPS. I found a reg hack that lets me change it to 24 hours but the policy gets forced on the device once a day and I have to run the reg hack again. Has anyone found a way around this?
6.) iNAV GPS Software has a bug that makes the voice navigation on all WM5 devices go very very very slow. The fix is to turn off the GPRS radio. When you do that all your push emails do not come in. iNAV claims they are working on a fix but I was curios if anyone found a way around this issue.
If anyone has any advice on these items it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

There is no fix for the keyboard light issue. It is a flaw in the way it was built and is a hardware-activated light, so registry keys won't do anything.
Sorry, but that's all I have for you.

I don't have a fix but just work around. What i am doing is to create a separate connection for wi-fi (no proxy). When you need to use wi-fi instead of gprs, you can simply select this connection from settings-->connections-->advanced-->select networks. Hence you don't have to remove the proxy settings for gprs everytime you use wi-fi. It takes a few steps but still easier than add/remove proxy settings. Hope this helps.

Just touch the bottom right key or the spacebar and the keyboard backlight will turn on without affecting anything else. I've heard complaints about this but I can't see why this is an issue. OTOH, the timing of the backlight is another matter, and it should be adjustable. Alas, it appears not to be.

I'm using iGuidance v3 and haven't noticed this, but GPRS isn't being used. I'm not sure how to enable/disable it, but in Settings > Connections > GPRS it is set to "Chap Authentication." When upgrading firmware I do not auto-load the Ext. ROM programs and have only a few loaded manually, so the GPRS functionality may not be fully implemented. Needless to say, I am not subscribing to internet service at this time.

In a dark area it’s hard to see the keyboard until it lights up. I use the right arrow to get this display to light up. When you press the space bar it will enter a space in what ever app is active. Not turning the light on when the keyboard opens is a design flaw. Most people open the keyboard to use it. As soon as you press any key the light comes on so you can see the keys. It just makes sense to turn the keyboard light on when you open it so you can start typing.

I have searched the forum for a tweak that can automatically disconnect the UMTS data after being idle for X minutes but do not see it. I only see a tweak to keep it alive. I want the opposite. Any help would be appreciated.

On most roms all you have to do is press and hold the hang up button to disconnect the data by yourself.

Some of my apps automatically open the data connection, so I want a way to automatically close it after it's done.

There's a little program which does exactly this for GPRS. I haven't tried, but I would assume it also works for UMTS. To achieve this functionality, it just sets the value of the registry key HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\CacheTimer to the idle time (in seconds) after which GPRS (and hopefully UMTS) will get disconnected.
Cheers

GB-SOFT GPRS & Audio Tweak
i am running this on my universal for that purpose and it works on umts in tokyo. i haven't tried it on my hermes though as i want to keep the connection always on for my push email, but i think it should work on hermes as well. give it a shot, it's free.
http://www.gb-soft.cz/XDAII/product_gprs_tweak_wm5pe_en.htm
Here's something that may or may not be useful to some. I used to think that for ease of access to webpages I would have GPRS always set to on. I did this using Tweaks2k2 under phone tricks. But this was a pest as when I wanted to use wifi the GPRS kept trying to take over.
I went back to Tweaks2k2 and unchecked GPRS always on. Now when I'm not using wifi and I go to a webpage the GPRS connects nicely but the second it's downloaded the page it instantly disconnects itself and stays off - ideal for me.
Before, enabling the continuous connection and then disabling it using Tweaks2k2, if I connected to GPRS it would stay connected until I manually turned it off again, but now it does it automatically and without delay. (I'm assuming it was THIS that has created my, as and when needed GPRS connection). Certainly saves having to set idle times etc to get it to auto shut off.

Try PhoneAlarm
It has an option to do exactly this. I use it to disconnect after 2 mins and activesync to run every 30 mins and it has improved my battery life immensely.
Rob
I think it can help you. It's very usefull and saves the battery.
It's a little C program that checks the gprs/umts connections every 2 minutes. althought the pda could be suspended the program checks the connections every two minutes. If there isnt data flow then the connection is closes.
It has 4 buttons.
DISABLE: It disables the checks. So if you are surfing the web and you dont want the program closes the connection push this button.
ENABLE: Enable the checks again.
OK: Closes de window (the program continues activated. You can open the window again tapping the little blue icon in the botton).
CLOSE: Close the program.
I recomment the put it in ROM and you should create a shortcut and put it in \windows\startup directory.
Yip, another good one to try. Thanks

I'm sure you are right but ever since I used Tweaks2k2 and turned the GPRS setting off the always on connection it disconnects from GPRS the second the page is downloaded. There is no wait for a period up to 2 minutes. As soon as I tap on another link to another webpage it fires up GPRS again followed by an instantaneous disconnect after page downloaded. Of course if it's caching the page the period of time it takes to display the page might be getting on for two minutes. However many pages take far less time than that - e.g. text only pages and I'm not aware of any delay in the GPRS disconnecting but I'll test this tonight.
Bottom line is this works for me, but as there seem to be, according to posts above, lots of applications to power the GPRS on and off (and stay off until it's needed), then presumably we are all happy now??

That is the program I linked to in the first post, and it uses the registry key I mentioned.
Just to double-check - after you made the change to the registry, did you shut down (keep power key pressed until a dialog box pops up - do not just soft-reset!) and reboot your TyTN?
Also, make sure GPRS Always-On is off: check that "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A3 8-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\<your GPRS connection name>\AlwaysOn" is set to 0.

All my other registry edits only require a soft reboot.
Btw, my AlwaysOn for that key is defaulted to 0 anyways. So just this registry setting alone does not disconnect my data when idle.
A side note, I have an 8525 and not a Tytn, but that shouldn't matter.

That depends on how quickly you reboot after you made a change. The registry is not immediately flushed back to Flash memory, so if you do a soft reset too quickly, your registry changes may get lost. A shutdown with the power key forces writing any unsaved registry changes to Flash memory, so you're always on the safe side.
Something different: SKTracker can make snapshots of a system (including the registry), and also compare such snapshots. The trial version is limited, but it can create snapshots and the resulting "diffs". I used that tool to find out what GPRS Tweak does. Might also be of interest to you. And you can uninstall it afterwards.
Cheers

I'm suprise not more people are asking about this since UMTS appears to drain the battery so quickly. Oh well.
Hi, i have a very strange and unpleasant problem with my Hermes.. At home I am using my wifi connection to receive mails etc. My Hermes connects to the wifi network normally, but when I want to use internet connection (IE, Outlook..) it will start GPRS. I have to turn wifi of and back on to be able to use it. It is pretty annoying as you can imagine. Now I am using latest Tytn WWE rom, but i have had same problems with T-mobile rom.
My old Wizard is connecting normally and has never done something stupid like this Do anyone have some clue what may cause this strange behaviour?
Have you confirmed that the home WiFi connection is configured as 'Connects to: The Internet'? In comm manager turn off the WiFI then go into settings/connections/Network Cards and you will be presented with all the networks used or previously found by your TyTn wireless card.
Select you named home wireless connection and you will be presented with the screen "Configure Wireless Network". Make sure that the entry against "Connects to:" i sset to The Internet - then press OK (top right), then dismiss the settings windows.
Try the connection again - it worked for me a while back. If already set at "connects to the Internet" then try deleting the settings and creating the entry again: press and hold on the connection (your home WiFi) then select "Remove Settings". Then turn on networked and set it up again remembering to select "connects to the Internet" when asked during the configuration of the WiFi connection. Of course you will again be prompted for a network key if you have a secure wireless router.
- if you all this then sorry but you didn't say. Hope it helps
I have already set it to connect to the internet few days ago. But i will try to remove those settings and do it again.. Hope it will solve the problem.
Thanks for your help. I'll report later..

Out of a month of use it has happened to me only once. I just turned off wifi then turned it back on. I believe the tytn is not recognising that it has a valid Internet connection.
I have free unlimited data for a few months, but when it is over I would like my phone to never connect to the internet through the carrier unless I specifically tell it to (Prefer to use the WiFi feature). Is there a setting, registry hack or other way that I can do this. I appologize if this is not a mogul specific question, I just figured it would be hardware specific.
yeah, there are a few free programs i've found on on xda that allow you to disable the gprs, etc... then all you have to do flick on your wifi switch and you're good to go.
I've attached a copy of the program that i personally use. I found it on this site but i don't have a clue what thread it was....
what i've done is after installing the program i set the "voice dail" button on my phone to activate the NoData program instead. Then i can easily toggle off the services i wish to use.... keeping them turned off also increases your battery life tremendously
Thanks for the reply. I tried that app, the connection that came up was CDMA1X so I disbled it, and then went to internet explorer it still browsed the web without a wifi connection, so I assume this didn't work.
Do you have sprint? If so, I'm not sure why you're phone would have a different setup than mine. When using that program i have two listings come up: 1. Phone as Modem, 2. Sprint PCS.
If i disable both i get only wifi.
thanks

ok i just played around with my phone a little more and have one other idea.
begin by tapping: start>settings>connections tab>connections>manage existing connections
select one of the options in the list and then tap the "proxy settings" tab.
uncheck the box "This network connects to the internet".
Repeat for each connection.
Hopefully this will solve your problem
I tried that too, unfortunately when I close the connections settings and go back in the check mark is back.
Hi, I'm not sure if you have solved this problem already but, somehow I did. I went to manage existing connections and assign a username and password . So now whenever, it tries to connect on the dial up (cdma1x), it prompts for a password, just press "cancel". I also have some programs for different home screens and contacts manager if you're interested.
YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY! This program has allowed me to kill all apps from using the data connection which lets USB Modem actually WORK on my Mogul! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Hi,
There's a lot of people asking how can I disable my data connection, but keep MMS capabilities, and the short answer has generally been "you can't"
They're wrong.
YOU CAN....!
This works for me...
1. Keep all your data connections to their maufacturer default - whatever they happen to be.
2. Go to Settings \ Connections \ Advanced TAB
3. Select Networks
4. Change "programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using" to My Home Network (this is your WiFi connection)
5. Hit Edit, then go to the Proxy Settings TAB
6. This is the most important part - Tick: "This network connects to the internet"
7. Hit ok and you're done...
Trust me, this works. I had my set up like this for a while and never had any problem - I could send and recieve MMS and would only connect to WiFi for data (or via ActiveSync)
The other day, I re-flashed my device, and found that today I was somehow connected to a data download (had been for 90 long and expensive minutes)
I finally narrowed it down to step 6 and now the problem is gone...!
Try it for yourself - follow my settings, then try to connect to the internet - it won't work... now try to send an MMS to yourself - not only will it send, but you will also receive it back...
I hope this helps you as much as it has helped me...
Let me know if you do or don't have any success this way...
Cheers
BTW - if you find it's not working, repeat steps 4 to 5 with all your data connections, but make sure step 6 is un-ticked...
or use nodata
head over to modaco.com and search for nodate
Thanks so much! Seems to work perfectly so far. I was looking for this the other day and gave up. Just randomly decided to look in the General discussion area, lucky me
This will not work on the default VZW rom.
Verizon has an app that will go and change the data settings EVERY time you go and reset your phone. This really ticks me off because I have to have my data totally disabled.
If there was an app that changed the default connection every time the phone started up, there may be hope for us pissed off Verizon suckers....

Have you tried Advanced Configuration Tool 3.3 (or NoData - as mentioned above) for permenantly switching these off... Might be what you need
SBSH PhoneWeaver (which isn't free) can be used to set profiles, including the defualt data connection, which will do this after a soft reset. Download a trial and see if it works...
I'm not interested in flashing a new rom. (I've already done a more thorough version of your hack to a cooked rom.) I'm on a Sprint Touch Pro and love the fast Verizon Manila (I've searched forever and there is no cab or theme ).
However I might end up calling up Visual Studio and coding something to fix this pain in the neck problem! I know it happens in a few custom roms too.
Thanks, I was looking for this option for a while now but I couldn't find it myself.
thx a lot, just caught mine data connected this morning for 15 mn again, right after I was to far from my wifi !
crazy phone !! but we still love it
