Hello all. Recently installed these cab files: Wifi Router and Comm Manager for 3G on/off. After the installation, the Wifi on/off key is now missing in the Comm Manager. I can use the WIFI Router program to turn WIFI on and off. But I prefer to use the Comm Manager because it is easier to reach. What registry changes do I need to make in order to show the WIFI on/off button in the Comm Manager? Thanks
I also had the same problem when I installed the com manager 3g toggle. I posted the problem regarding the US T-Mobile HD2 with that cab.
It replaces the 'wifi' toogle with the 3g toogle. In the non US T-Mobile HD2 it will replace the 'push mail' toogle.
I think you needed to do the extra steps to keep the 'push mail' option BEFORE installing the cab. The registry entries for it may be gone now. (I was lazy and just hard reset to get it back and haven't reinstalled the 3g toogle afterward.)
Click on the 3G tab, not the on off switch, and it brings up the wifi option on a screen by its self.
Not the best way, but it "Works"!!
It works; thanks for the tip. I can live with that for now instead of a hard reset. Much appreciated guys.

Hello
I just flashed my 9100 with the new ROM and in commmanager, I can't activate ActiveSync (button is "grey")
Has someone already had/solved this problem ?
Tks
Hi, I am looking for this Comm Manager file, can you extract the .exe from the ROM (use Total Commander and copy it out of the /Windows folder) and post it here? thanks!
read the same problem you are having in another ROM, are you sure that you are connected with your dekstop? If you are not, the button is grey sometimes.
The button is grey when I'm connected or not to the PC.
3 buttons (push mail, connect, activeSync) are grey. I can only use the "phone", "bluetooth", "WiFi" and "Vibrate/Normal" buttons but not the other one.
Here is also the "CommManager.exe" program
Have you tried adapting the registry to point to the right files? In the universal upgrading forum there is a thread on which settings to adjust. try a search there and see if it htelps you. I will try the file you attached (thanks for that) tomorrow and see if it works for me.
Any other answer ?
See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=44091&highlight= for the registry settings used in the Universal to get the new Comm Manager with more options working. perhaps on your Wizard it uses the same settings?
If you connect To your PC, the AS icon becomes available, whenb you connect to gprs/edge, the disconnect data service becomes available and when pushmail is enabled, you can disable with the stop direct push button... works like a charm.
Why would you want a comm manager button to activate either one of these, for it happens automatically when any service requires so.
In the "old"Comm Manager you could also change the AS settings by tapping th AS symbol, even if the device was not connected. Now with the button greyed out, I guess he has to go to start-programs-AS to change them. possible, but not as easy. And it is nice to have all connections under 1 button. That's why I am trying to integrate the new file into my old ROM.
Ok, tried overwriting the old comm manager with the exe provided above, but no dice. The .exe in this thread is only half the size of my current working one. Also, the registry settings I got from the Universal forum don't work, we don't have the necessary keys, so looks like our Comm Manager is working with different keys, I cannot find which ones. The .exe file above just gives: Unable to get comm Manager settings. Perhaps someone can extract and post all the Comm Manager files ( not only the .exe) from their ROM?
For me the important one was ActiveSync. I'm used to lauch it via Comm Manager. And you are right :
- push e-mail is not available (-> OK)
- activeSync is available only if ActiveSync is running
- disconnect data service is available if GPRS is connected (I didn't know what it was, I could'nt test)
So ewerything is running all right. :-D
Thanks
I ran a TMO USA cab for the Comm Manager from an Ext ROM. I found the file on this forum and it is working right. It has the phone button instead of the sound/vibrate button, so that is a small improvement. If only someone could send me the file with also the direct push and gprs button in it, i'd be happy.
Who knows how to disable the 3G, so the phone will work only in 2G?

Download and install Advanced Configuration.
Click Menu then select More Settings and then select Comm Manager.
Here you can select what items you want in the comm manager.

Unfortunatley this comm manager tab does nothing on my HD (also reported by other useres).....used to work fine on Diamond etc.
Anyway, the obvious but long way round would be (translated from German ROM): Start>Settings>Phone>Band>GSM

I have the same problem. Any solution?
I get exactly the same problem. After searching maaaaaaany topics and forums it seems that band selection (3g-gsm switch) is managed by bandsel.exe or adminsettings.exe (in windows repertory). On HD you have neither of these. So on HD band selection is managed by another exe ... if someone can figure out witch exe it is, it should be quite easy to patch registry, in order to call this exe in comm manager.
hope you understood (I'm not very comfortable with english).
I have also tried to turn off 3G in the comm manager with no success. I like to turn it off most of the time as it saves battery when not having to search for a 3G signal. Has anyone found a way to disable 3G access on the HD, but leave GRPS enabled?
Try this Start -> Settings -> Phone -> Band -> choose GSM in the upper dropdown menu leave the other on auto.
With this setting you will have gsm and gprs/edge available but no 3G

Use Advanced Config 3.3 to modify your comm manager for the items that you want.
I was able to add beam and 3G.

this was the first thing i tried. no luck! grayed...
It appears that if the PHONE setting is not displayed (the least useful switch if you ask me) then the DATA CONNECTIONS and 3G tabs will bevgreyed out an inaccessible.
Having said that, turning off data connection seems to be useless. It turns itself on the moment Opera or anything tries to access the net. I haven't tried it roaming yet but am going abroad next week so will update then.
I don't see the option in Advanced Config 3.3.
Any solution yet how to get 3G into the Comm Manager?
It's not in the regular options. Got to MENU (right soft key) then MORE SETTINGS then COMM MANAGER
Perhaps we need a 10 Button Manager
This is why it would be SOOOOO useful to have the old 10 button manager back from the Hermes days, just like the thread I started 14 Dec 08, but got no-where....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459270
Just wish Schaps or some one would be able to help out and create a new 10 button manager and resolve ALL our issues.
Thank you, but doesn't work for me also. I need an option to change 3G to GPRS...
Hi!
In order that it works 3G in CommManager it is necessary to add a few values in the register.
I detail the steps, if you want to do it.
To enable 3G I have replaced it with Direct Push option, because I do not use her, but it can be for any different.
First we change the option "Direct Push" for "3G":
You should accede to the key of the register "\HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager\4" and to change the value "AUTD" that appears in "(default)" for "3G".
Now we have to add two values in the register in order that on having clic in the CommManager on the option of 3G, it should change GSM to 3G:
You should accede to the key of the register "\HKLM\Software\OEM\UMTS" and to add the following values (DWORD):
"PrefDomain" value decimal "2"
"PrefRAT" value decimal "1"
Bye and good luck !
Sento
PD: I apologise for my english
ok guys, there is an easy way to do this as AllTheWay stated earlier. Simply use Advanced Config V3.3
Go to Menu (right soft key) > More Settings > Comm Manager and then simply choose which settings you want
See attached screenshot

Hi there, I use quickmenu which is like the best program ever for ppc, but I can't find a way to add a wifi toggle to the quickmenu. Currently I have to go into settings->communications-comm manager and then turn on/off wifi which is very annoying!
Any way to add it to the list?
I use spb panel which does not have the wifi on/off toggle like the today screen.
THANKS!
phone alarm from pocketmax.net will do the tricks.
Or use pdaStatus which is a today plug-in, a screenshot in my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459241&page=8
I use SPB Phone Today plugin... has made it ultimately easy! Can toggle all connections from it including bluetooth and wifi.
Try WirelessToday.cab; is shows you your Operator, BT status and WiFi status.
When you touch the today-item it will bring you to the comm manager.
Thanks, but I use the spb panel instead of today screen.
I assigned the left key button to comm manager for easy access.
attached is what you're looking for
I use this one to quick access to Wifi on/off http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442727
check my new application, it is created to automatically control wifi and BT based on where you are. it might help you

Hello,
I've a problem with the Comm Manager. The problem is that i can't enable or disable the WLAN feature, it appears on "gray" color, so i can't select it. It seems like it that option was not available.
At least I can enable/disable the WIFI from the System -> Settings , wireless LAN configuration, but i would like to enable/disable it from the Comm Manager, like i have done before.
I tried to uninstall all applications since the last time it worked, but ... no results.
If someone has a idea about what i should do to repair this, please help me.
Here is a image with my problem.

As you can see, the WLAN option can not be selected.
Thanks and excuse my bad English.
Are these pictures from you or is it just an example? As these screenshots show activesync connection which will automatically disable wi-fi so what we can see there is perfectly allright...

The pictures are an example, but are just the same i see on my device screen.
So I don't understand, if ActiveSync is running I can't enable WLAN from the Comm Manager window, but i can enable it from the Wireless LAN Settings window. Is that right??
Thank you.
You can enable it, but it will immediately switch off. This is how it works on my device. If you want to use it, you must enable it on computer in AS/WMDC. But I don't see any advantage of it, because you already have internet via AS from computer.
Thank you both,
I will start to reinstall all the uninstalled programs.
if ActiveSync is running I can't enable WLAN from the Comm Manager window!
good! I SEE!
