Not sure if this has been posted in the Wizard forums before but i just found this in the Universal forums and now have a new Today plugin that displays the status of my Wireless connections. It seems to work for everything except GPRS
Just add the keys below to the Wizards registry.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Wireless"]
"DLL"="netui.dll"
"Order"=dword:00000000
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"Type"=dword:00000004
For the full info on this, check the Universal forum here:

Cheers,
Chris
Nice find puckster will try it - any chance of a screen shot?

There is a photo in the Universal post but here's a screenshot of my K-JAM. The items only seem to activate on the Today screen when you enable the Particualr Wireless mode. As WiFi is disabled as soon as i connect ActiveSync i enabled WiFi in Comm Manager and quickly took the screenshot before WiFi was turned off, hence the unavailable status.
Note you cannot interact with this plugin. it is purely display only.
CHeerts,
Thanks puckster shows up on the list of the items list/today but not on the screen. I assume that is cuz I have no wifi connection right

When I added the entry, I had to go into the Today setting and uncheck, then re-check "Wireless" which made it appear. At a minimum you should see a bluetooth symbol that says on or off.
If you still can't get it to show up, double check the dword entries you created.
Btw - thanks for bringing this over to the Wizard forum Puckster..it's a handy little Today item.
Mine displays Carrier / Flight Mode & Bluetooth as well as WiFi status.
If WiFi is disabled it does not display on the today plugin however my Bluetooth is always displayed there even when turned off. The Carrier (Vodafone in my case) changes to Flight Mode when you enable it.
I would possibly re-check the registry keys. Also i just remembered i did add 2 extra keys to my registry that werent mentioned in the Universal thread.
I have attached a registry export of the key i created on my K-JAM so maybe you could use this as template as it works on mine.
NOTE: All of the keys are decimal dword entries except DLL which is a string.
Chris
Thanks for your help and I have rechecked everything and all seems ok. Phm reg editor can't seem to import the reg file you gave me ;(
It's nice to have the indicators...but I wish they didn't require the real estate of a whole additional Today bar. I would love to find a way to put indicators like that in the icon tray at the bottom (just above the Contacts soft key image).
this is exactly what i wanted much appreciated.
no go here, but I'm on an old, old ROM
Thanx Puckster, worked like a charm
Exactly what i was lookinf for ty again
zeeboxx:
You need to be using the new AKU2 roms for this to work
which answers "meschle"'s question - assuming he's still on 1.6.7.1
this is excellent... cheers guys!
Hi all,
i have put it in CAB file.

Have the same on Himalaya
Hi,
I running WM5 on my Himalaya and I have it by default. However, when I tap in the area, it takes me to the Comm Manager or Wireless Manager.
Same on the Wizard or should I check potential differences in the reg?
Cheers,
Hal.
yes. please check the differences. When I click on it, it does nothing.
Thanks.
Having a friend check on his PPC 6700 once he finishes the upgrade.

ammar you are the best man, I have tried all other methods. yours only worked. God bless you.
I ran ammar's cab. The Wireless box appears in my Today screen, and I tried checking and unchecking it, tried soft resets, even tried a re-install of the cab file. I have a T-Mobile MDA, and I have SPB Today Plus and PHM Traylaunch running. I'm using the black theme.
Anything else I might try?
Sorry if this isn't posted in the correct forum, but I've done a lot of searching & not found anything yet. My Hermes (Black Satin ROM) will, without me doing anything, change the volume setting to "vibrate" from "on." It's annoying, obviously, because I'll then miss calls because I don't hear it "ringing" in the other room.
Is this a "power saving" setting? Has anyone else experienced this? Can I stop it from happening somehow?
Are you using the "HTC Home" today plugin?? I seem to remember that some/one of the earlier versions would swap the phone from ring to vibrate "without you doing anything".......it was later discovered that the change was as a result of you going into the calendar and adding/removing appointments.
There is a post in the Hermes and Trinity forums that links to V2.0 of the HTC Home plugin and I think the vibrate issue has been fixed...
Search the Hermes Mobile 6 forum for the post.
HTH,
Mark.
Perhaps, it's a problem with an automatic profile ? (spb phone suite,...)
I have noticed that when i put a long time on the comm manager button, the tytn switch on the vibrate profile ?
Thanks Mark. Yes, I'm using the HTC Home plugin. I'm not sure as to the version: it's whichever version JJ included in Black Satin. I'll look for the v2 links today.

This is "normal" behaviour - presumably you've installed (or a ROM has installed for you) the "CommManager Vibrate Toggle Fix" which does just that.....when you press and hold button 5 (CommManager button), the phone switches in and out of vibrate.

I think v1.5 made it into Satin - the V2.0 version was developed by Schaps - IIRC - and posted by Schen HERE if you want some serious reading material!!!
HTH,
Mark.
OK, I've depressed & held the comm mgr button for over five seconds, & the phone didn't switch over to vibrate, so that's not my issue.
Thanks for the linkage, Mark. I'll download the cabs & start reading those nine pages
OK, it looks like since I uninstalled version 1.5x of HTC Home, & installed version 2.0x, I haven't had the problem. Thanks for the help
Thought this might be a good place to start listing any quick tips and tricks you might have discovered.
To Lock Device quickly
Keep finger on the Red (Call End) button and it will bring up some options including keylock.
Not sure if anyone's noticed this but when I end a call on my Dual there is annoying little delay of about 3 seconds before the actual call is ended so I searched the registry and found this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PHONE\PhoneExtendSetting]
And I changed the value of EndCallTime from 3000 to 1000 re-booted and voila no more delays when ending calls
Hold the on/off button for soft reset.
Smart Dialing
This is an advertised feature but apparently not too many people are aware of it. Go to the phone app and start tapping the first couple of letters of the contacts name and the name matches will appear for you to choose from. I find this much easier than opening up the Contacts app and scrolling down to the name you need.
after pressing send for phoneapp u see last calls.
If u press left/right on the highlighted contact the phone switches through home/mobile/office...
HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch\ regulates the FPS of the cubeanimation.
Change "DownFPS", "LightFPS" und "UpFPS" to something higher for a smoother (and faster) animation.
Disable 3G, if not needed (it drains the battery faster than GSM):
Edit the registry key HKLM\Software\OEM\UMTS\OpMode and set it to "1"
Then also you could change that setting
Phone Settings --> Band --> Network Type --> GSM
To activate the changes, open the comm manager from the Cube, disable the phone and enable it again.
In italy with Vodafone I can't able to select also the Network Band GSM/UMTS to "GSM(900)" but I have to let it configured as "Auto" or "GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100)"
Bits
Ello, new here.. no idea if this helps a few Dual owners but..
Apps found to work on the touch dual:
S2u2 (iphone slide to unlock app), works like a charm:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343256
HHC, HTC Home Customizer (name says it all), also working like a charm:
http://www.pocketemu.com/download4.html
gfreek, thnx for the EndCallTime key, works perfect and.. 1 less annoying feature to go
Things I'm still looking to solve:
1. Mp3 ringtone seems to fade out after picking up a call, for about 2/3 seconds the ringtone is still audible :S
2. Looking for settings for the Handsfree profile, i have an Lm959 bluetooth bracelet (how geeky, i know), works fine.. but only for calls, the device is capable of blinking the leds on receiving msgs, im looking for the settings to enable just that on the TD.
3. Polling frequency of the TD seems to be on the high side, f.e. it takes about 3 rings from someone before the TD starts "ringing", since voicemail kicks in @ ring 6 I miss a lot of calls.
I found a topic about just this problem with the touch(Elf) on sprint networks, with a quickcode (##7380# I think, well.. I'm not on sprint..so that doesnt work over here.. anyone with any clue would be welcome.. My current solution is disabling voicemail..)

to do this quicker go to settings => long press end key
and select automatically execute and then lock device
holding the red button then locks the device in one press
You can invoke s2u2 instead normal devicelock
just install s2u2, rename Slide2Unlock.exe to EndKey.exe and copy all files to windows directory, with resco explorer.
the ilock doesnt seem to be working on my touch dual. when i try to go to settings, the screen goes blank.
You need to disable directdraw, do it via the registry as you can't access the settings.

Is there a way to add the "3G setting" directly in the Comm Manager as seen here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354380 ?

Go with Total Commander to:
\\registry\HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager and change the key
"SupportedFunctions" from 4 to 5
then make a new map named "5" (without the quotes)
go to that map and make a STRING named "default" and the string must
be "3G" (also without any quotes).
Then turn the phone off and on again and there is a 3G setting in your CommManager. I did not manage yet to add a icon in front of it
(and also not tested the working of the new setting)
Thanks, someone also pointed me to Schaps' app that has that setting http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317070

Another way ...
Go to ... Start > Settings > Phone > GSM/UMTS Band , Set Network to "GSM" & Leave GSM to "Auto".

that is driving me MAD at the moment. I'm missing almost all my calls.
Wish there was a way to change the amount of rings before voicemail kicks in.
please help someone!

ah found it, at least for UK Orange people:
Please bear in mind that the following code is only valid for phones on the Orange UK network.
The code to set the length of time your phone rings is:
**61*07973100123*11*??#
Where ?? is the time in seconds, e.g. to set the ring time to 30 seconds you would type the following code at the standby screen then press the green send button:
**61*07973100123*11*30#
To make your phone ring for only 10 seconds:
**61*07973100123*11*10#
The code works in 5 second intervals, i.e. you can set 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 & 30 seconds.

Arnon
does anyone know how to make the notification led stay on for more than 5 mins for example when receiving an sms? I've looked in settings but the option is grayed out.
Yes go to your settings icon, then go down to the right and press and hold the quickmenu at the bottom right, it's called ""menu" all settings" , there's a bunch of legacy settings to be found there including all the notification settings you and I were used too.
Reply greatly appreciated
You need to edit the registry in order to get access to the settings for LED notification. Look in the thread "hints and tips" for the reg settings. Once applied, you can then change the LED notification time under windows settings.
Is there also a way to make the LED flash when you receive emails?
Did you guys read my post at all, there is no need for registry hacks, the menus are already there. You can do everything you used to do in 6.1 or 6.5
lucid yes we read it but the option for how long the led runs for is grayed out so you can't change it in the legacy settings.
anyone know the registry hack needed?
post by mistake
My sincerest excuses. I went to that screen to verify it existed, not to verify it
was customizable.. my bad..
So... where is that registry hack ?

Like the majority of the uk Jade owners, I'm stuck with an orange rom that is more of a hinderance, than a pleasure to use. I have found an idiotic way to get around the ridiculous wifi or 'unique' service that orange has restricted all it's users, to. I shall explain briefly how I perform such a repetitive task:
(These Settings have to be done after the Wireless symbol has turned red-otherwise you'll have to the repeat the steps, again)
1)Start up unique by pressing toggle to right
2)Click 'Settings'
3)Click 'unique manager'
4)Click 'Advanced settings'
5)Click 'Network Adaptor'
6)Using cursor, scroll to 'SWC IM (UKSC\TNETW12511)'
7Change from 'The Internet' to 'Work'
8) Exit back to the beginning comm manager screen
(Here's the repetitive bit)
9)Click on 'Settings'
10)Click on 'Unique Manager'
11)Click on Advanced Settings
12)Click on 'Network Adaptor'
13)Scroll down using the cursor button to 'SWC IM (UKSC\TNETW12511)'
14)Change the option at the top of the screen to 'The Internet'
As you can appreciate, this is very repetitive; Anyone got any ideas where I can get a rom that works perfectly without having to keep following these steps? It just seems like Orange is trying to wind it's customers up!!
Also, silly question, but does anyone know where I may get touchflo 2d with the weather widget on the homepage? It bugged me when I first got the phone, but I've given up on the whole idea, now, but it'd be good to know, once and for all, if I can do it. (I do have m2dc, but the themes with the home weather widget on it just goes completely out of alignment and messes the entire screen up.)
Anyway, thanks for reading and it'd be good to see if I can resolve this latter issue.
Regards,
Nick
