[REQ]Auto enable bluetooth on usb connect - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

On my Touch Pro I always used KixAss Bluepower, which is a small tool that activates bluetooth when the device is connected to a USB port. This would enable me to just put in the phone in the usb cradle in my car, switch on the radio and I'd have a connection immediately. As soon as I leave the car, thus disconnecting the phone from the cradle, bluetooth disables automatically.
Now the problem is, this tool doesn't seem to work on my HD2.. Does anyone know a similiar tool?

I use the same program on my TD2 and it works well. You can try two things instead:
G-profile or see the mortscript thread.
Bluepower is the best though. G-profile can be a bit buggy IMHO.

Thanks for the reply. I am also really wondering why bluepower wont work on my HD2. I'll check out G-Profile, though I think it's a bit too "heavy" (as in; way too many options) for the goal im trying to get to here.

I agree about G-Profile being perhaps too heavy. I would try Mortscript if I were you. That is very light and would definitely do the trick. It would take less processing power/battery to run than even Bluepower too.

For what I've understood from Mortscript it's basically a a scriptiong language, similar to .NET, correct? I am not that good with scripting, are there any examples I can take learnings from?

I am a bit of a beginner too, but if you google "bluetooth mortscript" or use the search function, this will give you some ideas.

WM5.o Compatible close button needed!

has anybody come across a one button close all application for WM5.0? Spb 3.0.1 is too slow on WM5 and Wisbar Advance 2.4.....is also too much for what is needed. Something like Magicbutton but written for WM5.0 would br nice, nothing that requires much memory, but something that enables the closing of running apps without having to go into start/settings/system/memory...etc.
Wouldn't it be nice if Microsoft had just written in that piece of code, as they are well aware that since PPC2000, that every application opened, remains so unless you manually close it down in memory (therefore hogging memory resources!) :evil:
Well if anyone knows of a WM specific solution, please do share.

I added couple files which they are usefull for you and they include the closeall app.
Install the cab files you'll see the close all, Reset and Running programs, which they can be clicked from the systray directly, after the installation they require a soft reset or else you go to Start>Programs>System open TrayLaunch and press Enable
GSPocketMagic++ is the most stable program I've tried. You need to put some amended bitmaps in to get it to integrate with WM5 but it works well...

Thanks guys. I'll try them both and let you know how I get on.
Damn!! My Jasjar is a Rocket!!

sub69: I don't know what kind of coding they used in that software you recommended, but it has boosted refresh rates and performance in general by at least 30%!! I know this sounds crazy but it's true! My opinion has completely changed about the speed of the Jasjar. It seriously Rocks! I couldn't care less if it doesn't stay this way, because it shows me conclusively, that future ROMs' will probably address the issues I have had thus far.
I needed this. Thanks a bunch sub69; best link I've had with regards to Universal software.
OK 1 gripe only: I've lost my two soft buttons on the bottom bar (any ideas?). It comes back and stays operational after a soft reset, but as soon as I use the 'close all' option of the program, I loose the soft keys! Damn..there's always a hitch!
Another positive though, the speed boost remains even after I have exited the program and revert to standard WM5.0 launcher!
P.S. I had at least 12 programs running simultaneously with no slow downs at all and 15 megs of Memory still available (tried to run out of memory, But couldn't). Very pleased at the moment, this is what I was expecting from the HTC Universal!! I'll test extensively before I comment further.
Thanks again sub69, u da Man!!
Mental...I didn't realise it was that good!?!
Not sure about the soft buttons, although come to think of it I have noticed they've disappeared a couple of times. Must've been when I hit "Close All" too?
Glad I could help, anyway. Do let us know how things go...

Still cannot believe it!! It's still going strong. Sussed the soft button thingy:Under start (GSPocket)/options/settings...uncheck the 2 tabs for'use exten task close' & 'Use Today skin'. That's it. It runs absolutely perfectly for me & with no need for amended bitmaps too! It fits right in wih my red or blue border themes (I only use my own jpegs now instead of themes - in the hope that I get no performance issues.....so far so good). Under menu settind tab I only select close all & setting (which gives me quick access to all settings in WM5.0..personal & system) and under 'click' tab I leave it as default 'Menu'. I'm so impressed with this software, I didn't think non-specific WM5 software coul be this good!
That site you recommended is also tops!
This software is so good that I must put up a new thread to inform all of your wonder find. I just hope all who try it get the same experience I'm getting. Thanks again sub69....I don't even feel the need for the next ROM update/grade...though I won't be turning it away.
Hmmm, not sure why you're that stunned. I'm finding it just fine - but certainly no faster than my JJ runs under PocketPlus 3.01, and the non-VGA graphics are a real step backwards. Anyone know how to solve this?
You mention a speed improvement; can you clarify: Before this, how long did it take to rotate the screen, and how long does it take now?

That's the file you need to download for the Jasjar, then if you have an SD card reader, you can transfer it directly to it and install the .cab file by selecting it! If you don't have a card reader, let's hope you have a bluetooth dongle, as it's a small file then you can bluetooth it over. However if you have no problems with your activesync connection, just use that to dump the .cab file on your storage card somewhere or into 'My Documents' on the jasjar.
It's not complicated.

Yep, using it myself now - but no speed change over PocketPlus (even after hard reset to remove PP). Using it cos I like menu and PP didn;t offer all that much more that other apps don;t give me.

Flashlight on without camera???

Hi Guys.
I use the flashlight a lot. It comes in handy but is a bit of a pain having to switch the camera on to use it.
I tried looking through the whole of the registry to see if I could find a way of switching it on without the Camera but no luck. If I could do it' I would either set up a voice command to use it or use one of the buttons directly to run a program to switch it either on or off depending on what it's state is now.
Is it possible or is the flashlight's functions restricted purely to the Camera?
Thanks in advance
Brian

Won't somebody please, give me a Wizard?!?
Just joking...
btw, can someone try Haret on the wizard and check if that starts up the flash. If it does, I'll reverse engineer from there. I don't have a wizard and can't test the more elegant driver based solution without the hardware.

meschle: thanks for trying it. I'll get a Wizard one day. Until I get more HTC hardware to reverse engineer, I'm not really clever enough to implement a more generic solution. For now, Universal and variants only I think.

With this addition, you can't actually control the action of turning BT and WIFI on and off. At least, that's how it seems to be on my wizard.

I used this on my T-mobile MDA. Which is pretty much the same as 8125. It works but with some problems.
I tried this but the wifi toggle shortcut doesnt work. It jus turns on the wifi. The bluetooth works fine though. Anyone have issues with the wifitoggle shortcut??
VJVolubilis on the Wizard isn't 100% finished yet. Read the last bit if the thread for a fix.

Last bit of which thread?
VJVolublis thread on this site. One registry entry that will start the wifi on boot up. After which, VJVolublis works properly on the Wizard.
But note I don't support the Wizard on it, I've never had one to test it on. That it works at all is serendipitous.
Use the wifion.exe file in your extended rom instead.

It may be more software that you want to install but I use PhoneAlarm. In addition to tracking phone functions it has buttons that allow you to toggle wifi and bluetooth.

Monitor out for 8525 (Hermes, TyTn)

Is there a way to connect my 8525 to an external monitor? My bluetooth keyboard and mouse work great -- now if I could connect an external monitor, this can become one hell of a tool!
This sounds cool, not sure what I'd use it for at this moment but still a good idea.
Does anyone know if there is a cable that can do this for the 8525?
not the anwser you are looking for
I know this is not what you want. The link below is to software that will allow you to view your phones screen on your computers monitor, and control it with your computer mouse and keyboard.
My Mobiler v1.0
Maybe it will be the answer for some people.
Definitely not what the OP was asking for, but damn cool just the same.
Thanks for that link. I'm not sure I even wanted, let alone needed that app, but I'm certainly going to use it now.
anyone know is this exists
I have been searching for something like this as well. If anyone knows of a cable for monitor out or if it is even possible I would appreciate knowing as well thanks.

Simple (not PhoneAlarm) program to switch between Silent (Vibrate) and Normal

I am wondering if there is a simple program that I can use where if my Tilt is on battery it will switch to Vibrate, and on power, Normal.
I don't want the overhead of PhoneAlarm and was hoping for something much simpler (and smaller)
Does such a thing exist?
Thank you!

Uh, have you looked into VibraSwitch yet? I think you need a few more people to tell you about a utility that doesn't suit your needs... eventually you'll accept that it was EXACTLY what you needed all along.
But if not, then look into these applications. They all claim to allow automatic profile switching based on power source (battery or charger). Enjoy!

I appreciate the response, but if you look above I have mentioned that I did not want phone alarm and I am using Vibra Switch.
However, I have not run into any documentation which states that Vibra will automatically switch based on power/battery.
If it is there then great! I have just not seen it...

Yeah, I read that... I was being sarcastic. You are correct, VibraSwitch by itself will not do what you are looking for. Very few utilities will do what you want - automatically change profile based on power state. Many will do it automatically based on time, but not power.
So if you can't tolerate the extra memory consumption of the applications I listed, you'll need to search VERY high and low to find an alternative. I've looked extensively in the past and haven't found any others. Advanced Google search is your friend - you may get lucky.
If you turn up anything promising feel free to post it.
or...I just posted in the Vibra (Switch) forum post asking him to add it on as a feature
One other thing you can look into is Mortscript. It can poll battery level or power state and perform a function, or call another application... such as [gasp] VibraSwitch. It's not quite as simple as what you're looking for, but it can be made to work. Not sure if it will meet your minimal memory usage expectations either. It would be running in the background "watching" the power state. But it might be worth looking at. There are also a some really good examples from experts in the Mortscript forum. Happy scripting!
