Hi there,
I would know if someone know how to create a shortcut for toggle wifi (activate and desactivate)
Thanks
I've read several threads/posts in these forums and it seems no-one has been able to come up with a way to do it. At the moment, ONLY the comm manager can turn wifi on/off.
pocketAlarm, has a today plugin which toggles wifi from a press of a single button on the Today screen, with some of its newest skins.
However, the feature does not work on all devices, but the list is expanding, so you might want to check it out.
Cheers.
Whats wrong with just clicking on the gprs icon and then turn on wifi ?

That still translate to four taps, not just one.
1. Click GPRS
2. Click Comm Manager
3. Click on WIFI toggle
4. Close Comm Manager (optional)

2 Clicks on mine.
Click GPRS icon on top menu bar.
Click on Turn on wifi.
Thats it !
In my T-Mobile 2.24 Extended Rom there are 2 executables, one to turn Wifi on and one turn Wifi off.
I will look them up for you tomorrow, I will post them in this thread.
Well molski can you upload the two executables please !!!
I will look if is work on my wizard
Here you go Kheops.
I tried both files and they both work perfect on my Wizard.
Thanks a lot mister Molski
have you a toggler?
Damn, those apps do nothing on mine (8125 w/Molski 2.26 ROM).
Sigh.

but there is still a problem that you must turn WIFI on for the first time after reboot, or no link will work, right? that was a problem on 2.3 i know, but the new os maybe got that fixed...
P.
check out vijay's app
Vijay555 has an app called VJVolubilis.exe which does pretty much what your looking for, as well as toggling bluetooth, etc. It has a wifi toggle feature, but unfortunatly doesn't seem to work on Wizards. However, the "wifi on" and "wifi off" work fine. Some people have reported not being able to use the "wifi on" feature after a soft reset until they manually turned on their wifi at least once. This can be fixed with a registry tweak that I'm too lazy to look up right now, however I found it previously on this forum with a search. If I have time I'll look it up and post in the morning (almost bedtime here in the U.S. Eastern Time Zone). The trick to this app is to create a shortcut with command line parameters to either turn on or turn off. I use claunch on my today screen where I have a wifi on, wifi off, blutooth toggle, and "make bluetooth discoverable" icons. These are on my "wireless" tab in claunch. Totally rocks.
Easy with SKSchema
SKSchema comes with a wifitoggle program. Of course it only works if you have skschema installed.
I couldn;t find one that worked the way I wanted, so I ended up using PhoneAlarm.
minor issue, but i was just wondering if anyone could access the file explorer from the quick start menu in the htc home screen? every other application works fine, but file explorer doesnt start for me when accessed from there.
starting it from the home or programm menu works fine.
any ideas how to fix that?
Well, what really happens if you add it there and execute it? Any kind of an error message or something?
Regards,
Carty..
nothing happens whatsoever (and i have tried it quite often now )
edit: worked after reboot

it works for me on quick start menu, but it doesnt work if i put the file explorer on launcher without putting it on quick start menu
sorry for the noob question i did try a search & read the wiki trouble is my question is "what is this" so rather hard to search, when the question is what is it!!!
on the start home screen there's a 5 item widget/toolbar that has
- wifi
- blueTh
- ?
- ?
- screen brightness
What are the 2 items that i only have question marks for, i've pressed them but what do they do (other than nothing obvious)?
Thanks in advance....
I'm pretty sure one is to enable data on mobile networks, the 2nd is to enable apps (eg gmail, maps etc) to sync using data on mobile networks or wifi.

cheers,
not sure though....
the 3rd & 4th buttons really dont seem to do anything even when plugged into the pc, what happens when you press them on yours?
thanks again
wifi, bluetooth, gps, sync, brightness
is there any way to edit those functions? or add/take away our own?
i'd love to swap a data connection on/off for that sync button.

Noooooo not on a Stock rom mate
yeah, I looked around a little today. Looks like the OS doesn't allow access to turning data on/off from anywhere but the settings menu. I found an app that just created a shortcut to the data menu. Works for me.

I found 2g/3g in the market that links directly to the data menu & placed it on my homescreen
elegant? no - does the job? yes
Hi, I must have delete some apk that stop me from adding using the default widget application. Can anyone upload it, thanks in advance.
think we'll need more info.. is this a specific widget or all widgets that you're having a problem with?
and a word of (fairly obvious) advice.. if you don't know what something does, leave it alone!

When you press setting, add to screen. There is a option of widget. When I press it nothing appear.

Hey guys,
Hoping someone can help me out, not sure why this doesn't work for me...
I want to create 1 of my home pages similar to my previous phone, which is a full page of individual internet bookmarks (the same size as app icons). How I have gone about it (and how I have always done this), is open the basic internet browser (not chrome), go to a webpage, and then save them in my generic "bookmarks" folder.
After I have done that several times, I go to the homepage where I want the bookmarks, navigate to widgets, then drag and drop "bookmark 1x1" onto the homepage....A new screen opens titled "choose a bookmark". On this page I can see a folder "mobile bookmarks", so as there are no other options, i navigate to that folder....again nothing in there except the folder "samsung mobile", so i nav to that folder....nothing inside. There are no other folders or locations I can navigate to. WTF?!
I thought I may have saved them to a separate folder, but even when i go into the bookmark and select "edit" i can't change it to any other default folder (also tried creating a new folder and putting them in there, didn't help)
I tried going into CHROME and setting bookmarks (then saving them) and selecting them as a homepage widget, but again, i can't find anything. Along with the HUGE disappointment of no FM radio chip, I am finding the more basic options more difficult on this phone which doesn't say much for Samsung in newer generation phones. I also don't think I am a complete dumba$$, which is exactly how I feel when i ask a very basic question like this. WHY wont this work?
Thanks anyone who can help.

Phone is unbranded i9505 (4G) AU stock.
I'm using also the stock browser and if you press the menue softkey you can choose 'create shortcut'. This will create a shortcut on the homescreen It is pretty simple and works good for me. Hope this helps you.

Bookmark 1*1 point to chrome, and sbookmark point to the old android browser. Both work correct for me, and as other said, just create a shortcut (this function since android 2.x)
And for chrome just keep pressing the bookmark icon you want, then it will give you a menu to add it to home screen

Aha.
So bookarks are out the window these days, we just navigate to the webpage we want, then select "add shortcut" that seems to be the only way to get that link as a 1x1 icon on the home screen. Thanks mate, +1 for you

No.... When on a homescreen press Menu (or long-press the screen), press Add Shortcut, select Bookmark, choose the site you want.
A 1x1-sized bookmark icon shortcut will be added... :good:

Negatron. This has been answered, but I will respond to your post. On the i9505, long press homepage (or menu key), provides options:
- add apps/widgets - wont work this way
- create folder
- set wallpaper
- add/remove page (this is add or remove a homescreen page)
Long press screen options:
ADD TO HOME SCREEN:
- Apps and widgets
- Folder
- Page
None of these items/options work, so only works, for me, by going into the internet explorer app, hit menu key and then "add shortcut" instead of add bookmark...

Okay. Works, as it should, on my 9505 so no issues here :good: That is, using Apex Launcher as the option you look after is indeed not working (anymore) in Touchwiz...
Its working for me even on touchwiz..
