[new release] VJPhoneToggle

For those worried about the phone app using too much memory in the background:
WM2003 and WM5 compatible.
This program is used to toggle the phone.
Useful if assigned to a hardware key or a shortcut.
If the phone is open, it will be closed. If it is closed, it will be opened.
Please note, for VGA WM5 users use my VJBigPhone app instead.
This application supports international language versions. By default it will look for the "Phone" window.
If your phone is called something different, launch the application with command line parameters matching the name of the Phone.
eg In German
\program files\vijay555\vjphonetoggle\vjphonetoggle.exe Telefon
After installation you will find a shortcuts in StartMenu > Programs > Vijay555 > VJPhoneToggle.
Check it out on my website!
EDIT: guys I think I made the cab wrong. try the exe for tonight

Any1 got a screenshot how this looks like on a Qtek 9100

q-biq, it literally just closes the phone app. Or launches it. Nothing to see!

I didn't really understood the goal for this tool.
Phone dialer opens easly pressing the TALK button, and closes also easly by tapping on "X" or pressing END button.
For sure this tool is supposed to do something I didn't catch.
However VJ, I'd like to propose you a challenge, for another "similar" toggling tool.
The porpose is: I have a SIM Twincard to use with the mobile phone fixed in my car.
Whenever I power on the car, it is supposed to switch off the mobile phone to avoid SIMs interference. This is simple for a regular phone, but not so practical for a Windows PDA Phone.
You have to:
- switch device on
- tap on 'Radio signal icon'
- tap on 'Turn on flight mode'
And when leaving the car, repeat all again to activate phone.
My idea was a small program to assing to an hard button, which would toggle the 'filght mode' or just GSM radio.
So you have to press just on buuton like switchi.ng the on/off
What do you think?

Conchas: this application was made for mzaslam, under this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=34718&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=
He is concerned that the phone app uses quite a lot of memory in the background, even when not in use. Pressing ok just puts it in the background. So VJPhoneToggle fully unloads the phone app when you're finished with it, and loads it again when required.
Re the Flight mode thing: I will have to make this app, but I use a dual sim myself and also use the flightmode off > flightmode on trick to switch sims.
I use PhoneAlarm on my setup. This can be set up to launch from a shortcut to switch profiles, so for my setup I use a today screen shortcut on claunch to switch to flight mode, work, home etc. So for my setup I have three thumb friendly icons to activate profiles on PA. So I can switch easily from Today. Is that ok?
V

Yes it works.
... but I always hae been looking for a small toggling application, assignable to an hard button.

Conchas: I don't understand. What do you want your hardware button to do? Load/unload an app?
V

I want my hW button to toggle 'fligth mode' on/off.
Or more exactly the phone radio on/off as the wireless manager does. More precise, as nowadays allmost every PDA phone device supports BT and WiFi.
i.e. I would like to enable/disable the SIM ability to register into the GSM/3G network, in order to avoid interference with a second SIM (twin card), whenver required (e.g. using into a car).
It is not just a matter of the last phone switched on, because when travelling by car, as you move to other network cells, the first phone switched on most likely will take the handover.

Guys, this has been updated to not require an international parameter on the command line.
It should internally support all international versions. I hope!
V

Conchas, is this what you are looking for? Just copy the exe to your device and bind it to a hardware button.

Great, Koksie
It works!
I'm using it manually.
Can you tell, where to put the '.exe', so it gets visible to assign on the "Settings > Buttons"?
I 've added it to '\Windows', but didn't get it visible.
Thanks
Fernando

You don't have to put it in windows. Just make shortcuts to it in the start menu. Any startmenu shortcuts get picked up by the Buttons cpl.
V

Hi,
Forget it.
I miss something. In fact it was possible to assign to the buttons, if copied the '.exe' to '\Windows.'
Great!
Thanks Koksie

Auto PIN code entry

Not all sim card allows the user to configure startup without entering pin code. Mine doesn't so I've searched for some small utility run at system startup which would enter the pin code automatically.
There's an option like that in one backup program so it's possible. If the program exists please direct me to it.
If it does not exist maybe someone can write simple command line app as an exercise?

I know PhoneAlarm from PocketMax can do this for you. It is an advanced option in (PhoneAlarm configuration -> Last tab About -> click on little Configuration image link -> search through the text file for PIN/SIM)
PhoneAlarm is no freeware, but it's the only one I know of that could do it. so you could try and see...
And it has so much other very nice and unique features, that it's worth it's money

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but auto pin entry in PhoneAlarm doesn't work for me (Wizard with NBD 9.2).

didn't try it myself, i prefer a pin request.
but you could try to post your problem on the pockemax forum, they are very fast in support.

you could try writing a simple script in Mortscript. AFAIK everybody who seriously tries and reads the mortscript description can do it. It's very much like editing config.sys or autoexec.bat for DOS computers.

I could do so if a knew the registry key with that value: the two PIN codes. But I've been looking for them without results. I use scripts to find operator name, but nothing about PIN codes. Any suggestion?

Mortscript can simulate a sequence of key presses and stylus clicks, use that just the way you type in your PIN manually.

I've tried to send my pin code with CR to the "Phone" (that's the name on the title bar when the pin kaypad is visible) application but it tries to dial that number.
Anyone succeed?

Asking software developers
I know at least two applications that have this option: SBSH PhoneWeaver 1.2 and SPB Backup. Maybe if somebody knows something about the "internals" of this aplicattions can develop a similar aplicattion to do this...

Hi,
I had the same issue and i also couldn't find any dedicated tool or app to solve that. So i decided to write a simple program that will dial a PIN into that PIN entry dialog for me.
But shortly i found HTC's app Windows\CMPin.exe on my Diamond2's Natoha Rom which solves the problem in a correct way. It comes with HTC's Phone dialer. It works fine!
Anyway if you don't have the CMPin.exe on your device or you couldn't find its cab then you still can use my SIM PIN Unlocker.
Here the tool SIM PIN Unlocker!
To use it you only need to install it and set the registry value HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SIM_PIN_Unlocker\PIN from 0000 (this is disabled state) to your pin entry (6902 for example), and here we go
It runs on startup and once it dialed the PIN into PIN entry dialog and sends "enter" key it closes. It will dial the PIN only once, in case the PIN was wrong you will still have 2 more attempts to enter the right PIN, and sure change the registry value to a correct one.
The tool will exit after a minute if it couldn't manage to find the PIN entry window.
I have tested in on mt Diamond2 and HTC Prophet (i-mate JamIn), on both works fine.

Help - Bluetooth

I have t-mobile US HD2 model and I am looking for the option to make the phone discoverable when switching on the bluetooth. How do I do it?

go into your comm manager and select Bluetooth in the next menu click on the gears and you will see where to make it discoverable.

In your settings folder is an icon for bluetooth, click that and it will ask you to turn on bt (click yes). On the following screen, just switch to the settings tab (the gears in the top left), the settings you're looking for are there.
EDIT: this is the same thing that quickdraw mcgraw up there () suggested, just a different path to get there.

[Q] Diagnostics Isn't working right

When I run the diagnostics app or dial ##634# I can get into the diangostics application, but when I try any of the codes nothing happens. Is there supposed to be a send button or something?
All I see is:
Diagnostics (ver .0929)
An area where the #'s typed show up, a -/minus button that deletes the last typed key
The numeric keypad itself (0-9, * and # keys)
When I type in codes, ie. #1234# - the numbers show up but no dialogs or anything is showing up.
Anybody see this? Thanks in advance
Barry Gervin

Did you enter * before #1234#? Try *#1234#

Yes thanks - I'm an idiot

Need the Phone Info

Well guys i need to enter in Phone Information, error with Apps and from dialer cant enter in "4636" code.

It's far from clear what you are asking - your question is vague and might be talking about a number of things. Try phrasing it differently or at least elaborate more and someone should be able to help you.
Dialer codes are not intended for end users and only work on certain models and firmware versions. A lot of dialer codes will work if entered from a terminal window rather than the keypad. Or look for a Play store app instead e.g. this or this.

- If you mean you want to get important info about your device, try Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app.
- If you mean about secret codes *#*#4636#*#*, install Shortcut Master app. You can launch this code by one of the following ways:
a) Open menu 'Secret Code Explorer', scroll down to 4636 and tap to launch it. Here you can find many secret codes available for your device, e.g. *#0*#, *#12580*369#, *#1234#, etc...
b) OR open menu Search, enter the 'testingsetting' to search. Finally tap on the search result to launch. You can also create a shortcut for easy access later.

The only app that works is Shortcut Master, [email protected]
The others apps says that my S5 don't have API for this.
