Is there any shortcut for enabling or disabling bluetooth with just one click or button?
I am thinking of buying hands-free car set and I do not want to go to connection manager each time I get in or out of the car. Having bluetooth always on will drain too much battery...
Is there a way to change what longpress of hadrware button does, for example the buttons for answering and ignoring button?
I only use screen and power button, so making shortcut on other buttons would be great.
Thanks for answeres
Why not make a quick link short cut to the comm manager on your home screen?

Because after pressing DONE it doesnt close itself and you need to go to taskmanager and close it manally which becomes annoying when you have to do it few times
Man I wish I could help you out more but I don't use Bluetooth with a handsgree car kit so no experience to fall back on. I am thinking it is either a built in thing in the Windows Mobile that can allow auto detect of a car kit and auto disconnect, I think I remember reading you had to turn the Bluetooth off manually with it to though. I also think there is a couple of apps out there that might help you out. Maybe someone else can jump in and help you with this, sorry again man.

So why not? Make a desktop shortcut to BT switch, it's easy, just 4 taps in WinMobile.

Just wondering if anyone knows or can quickly create a little applet (not java!) that can quickly switch the radio functionality of the XDAII? The manual clicking of that aerial icon is a pain. I guess the aerial functionality is probably accessing some DLL or something? Maybe it'd be a quick job?
Switching Radio off
According to my manual you're sposed to be able to press and hold the red phone button - the manual says this can be used to toggle the phone off/on but that certainly isn't the case on my phone?
Anyone know why this isn't working properly?
Manual's wrong... from previous forum postings, this can be done on the original XDA but this for some really weird reason doesn't work on the XDAII. Hence a request to some Pocket PC coders out there who might be able to whip a quick utility up?
what is wrong with clicking the signal level icon, and selecting 'flight mode' ?
clicking signal icon
that takes two clicks - it's a lot easier to press and hold a h/w button
I'm serious
I solved this problem in a nice way using ButtonMax 1.01. Now I can, not only turn radio on/off by simply keeping pressed the up/down key on my xda's pad, but as buttomax supports macros definition I could even let it put my pin in the phone as I turn the radio back on!
Using it toghter with Alarm Today allowed me to solve the problem of scheduled on/off too. Both programs run in team and you can use buttomax macros at a scheduled time, setting them as an alarmtoday event. :wink:

Very good idea, indeed. Thanks.
It's possible to use the "Record" button instead?
I tried to use the “Record” button in the ButtonMax, but nothing appends?
If I use the down pad key, it work’s, why?
Can you help me? I really want to use the Record Button, that way, I can switch off the Radio(Phone) with the PDA inside the case in bell clip.
Thank's,

Is there a way to disable the answer/hangup buttons when the screen is turned off during a call? i keep accidentally hanging up on people
lol...okay
if you install a program called MortSaver it can turn off the screen and lock all buttons, except the button which de-activates it. you can activate mortscript by either assigning it to a hardware button or by simply launching the programs. if you wanna use it for your phone calls, i think you'd be more comfortable by assigning it to a hardware button. to me, i wouldn't give up one hardware button to mortsaver.
hopefully this will solve my automatic answer when taking the phone out of the holster to check whose calling...
thanks
thanks for the tip. ive read about this app in several threads, never thought to use it for this purpose.
thanks again
Hi,
I found this program that allows you to turn off the backlight without having the phone in a sleep mode (called switch display). I am trying to link this program to audio manager so that when I listen to music the screen can be turned off but I can still use the audio commands easily. (My phone would not turn off because I use the exception on the S2U program for audio manager)
If it is not possible, maybe there is a way to use some registry tweak where instead of having the backlight being "off" through the phone program, it can be done by the switch display program. That way we can set it to turn off screen after let's say 1 min.
Any suggestions?
Anybody? Suggestion?
i use HTC's audio manager without S2U2, and when i listen to music it doesn't go into sleep mode but the lights go out... it's a default..
How is it set? I can't find any settings to do that. And my light never goes off (black) just dim.
Not sure if it is phone dependent. I have a tmobile wing with touch it 2.3 ROM on it.
go to power/screen settings and set everything you want over there. if it doesn't consider the exact thing you want i'm sorry..
Yeah not working, it dims it but it does not turn off the screen completely.
Use psShutXP and choose turn off display.

I can press the power button, but then I have to push it again if I want to do simple things like increase volume or change songs. With just the display off I can do this tasks easily.

I am using it but I was tring to use it so that it could start automatically when using audio manager. I figured out I could maybe just map switch display to a button. Thaat's the best I can do
Personally I use WMP with VC, I love it! Very easy, but some people think I'm crazy when they hear me yelling NEXT into a headset.
is there an exe taht turns the screen on and off? and couldn't i just bind that to my camera button?
i did search..
thanks
You may be able to turn the screen off programatically, but how exactly would you expect to turn it on?
Of course, binding that to a button that actually works could do the trick. I think there a few freeware programs out there that allow you to change the bindings of the buttons (sry, can't remember a name, but if you google it you should be able to find one in no time).
On the other hand, phone off disables all buttons except the on/off button, so that might not work either.
i'm downloading vito button mapper now.
getting the screen to come back on was also my main concern. the only way i get it to come on now is by plugging it into the computer or resetting it. I don't always have a usb cable and a computer on hand, nor do i want to wait 5 min for my touch to restart to make a simple phone call.
any help would be GREATLY appreciated.. leaving for a trip in like an hour so i'd like to get this done..

why not just leave your bluetooth on all the time.
you can hide it from other dev ices so is safe from bluetooth hackers
i do
