WiFi on/off from Icon?

In Faria's AKU 3.3 ROM I could click the WiFi/Sync Icon next to the GSM signal strength Icon and select turn on WiFi. With the WM6 ROM I don't have this option. I have searched but it's a bit difficult to state that in the search terms.....
I assume this is a registry tweak but don't know which.....
Anyone know?

Turn on wifi
You must have wifi-init.ink in starup folder. Then go to
HKLM/Comm/Tnetwln1/Parms/HTCPreloadstatus --> 1
HKLM/Comm/Tnetwln1/Parms/HTCPreloadWIFI --> 1
the you can start by icon. But like in every wm6 rom you only have the possibility turn on wifi. but not to turn off!!
Keep trying

Thanks for that. I have wifi-init.lnk already in the startup folder, I have made the registry change but it doesn't stick.... I made the registry change with Task Manager, exited and verified again with Task Manager the change was present. I left the wizard for a few minutes and soft reset. The option isn't there and if I look in the registry the setting for HTCPreloadStatus is back at 0
I have tried this a couple of times now and I get the same results. Before anyone states the obvious I have left the Wizard for several minutes after making the registry change before soft resetting.

Total commander
I made it with total commander and after e few moments I power off by using the Powerbutton pressed for 5 seconds. That´s all. After that you can use programs like AEButton to toggle wifi on/off by hardwarebutton.

backlight and 20-keypad problem -Easy-fix?

Hi,
I`m very annoyed with the HTC-ROM bugs.
Is there an easy way to fix the 10sec. backlight-off problem.
And that always is the 20-keypad active.
Is there an way to start with the last used screen instead the Today-screen
from standby??
I´m only an PPC-user not an PPC-specialist!
Thanks

To change default keyborad search for SIPchange. For backlight - if you're talking about in call one, just install the file attached.

Hi vasil,
thanks for the SIPchange tip.
My Backlight Problem is, that it ALWAYSS turns off after 10 seconds.
What does your cab file do? Only backlight-ON when a call is active??
Thanks ,

Got the Start Menu -> settings -> System -> Backlight -> Battery Power, and change the "Turn off backlight if device is not used for.." setting.

Worked on mine. Are you waiting at least two minutes before resetting the TC? If not, then you're not giving the setting time to get saved.

Thank You!
Now I had set 1Min and after Registry change wait a bit..
Now it works!

I will be crazy!
The Lock Level is is still 1 !!! and the Display is off after 10 seconds.
But This afternoon it had worked... But now?
Why doesnt it work on my Orbit 2 ??

Sharer777 - thanks for those reg entries. FYI, they are not formatted correctly. I had to make some minor changes to get them to take effect. I had to add "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" at the top of the file, and took out an extra blank line at the bottom of the file before it would import.
Also, in my SIP list, while it got rid of touch-keyboard, it still lists touch keyboard. I'll try a reset and see if that clears it up.
Thanks for that though..I've been looking for that!!

I still have the 10sec. backlight problem....
I thought there is an little Programm anywhere who set the Time to
that value I wont -But who had I seen it??

many thanks vasil.

Agreed, thanks, but I removed the backlight update anyway. I realised that the advantage of the screen turning off after a few seconds is that I don't press the screen with my fat face and run loads of programs by accident...

As mentioned the .cab fix has solved the problem but created another, I have just finished a 33 min phone call and my face is no fire, is there a happy medium fix somewhere, or could there be ie. backlight switches off after 1,2,3,4..mins and not 10 seconds?
FYI - there is also the same related thread, Problem: display turns of during call - can they be joined?

Ive also the problem, that i can change the backlight time from 10 secs to 30 or more... but also after restart, its again @ 10 secs!!! Think, thats an annoying bug.

XDA Neo
hi,
I have also the 10secs display darken Problem on the orbit2.
I had same problem on XDA Neo, found no (working!) reg fix for that, only the program BatteryStatus had an option to clear the problem out.
Can it be a O2 based problem?

found something working:
try this:
\HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel
ignore the LockLevel key inside the LockLevel folder...RENAME the folder to LockLevelx...i tried various other strategies but this caused the phone to eventually recreate the LockLevel folder with the proper key inside...but this time the key was set to 0 instead of 1. it's been 2 weeks with multiple soft resets and the backlight settings have been surviving as they should...

Koerc, you are my man! It works!
Cheers,
Derek.

Disconnect DataConnection via code.... (Eg: Mortscript)

How to disconnect GPRS via code? (eg Mortscript)
I mean just launching a script, without use CommManager or the "bubble"...
There must be a way. Some people have written software that turns 3G on/off, so there must be a similar way (without using something that switches the connection off after a few time)...
Thanks in advance for any answer...

Any help?

I knew that command, but it doesn't work on my device (and in others too)...
Please help!

If i'm not mistaken, in the main Mortscript Examples thread in the dev&hack section there's a script to automatically download emails using a data connection. you can see if it contains that script.

cant you use long press key and choose disconnect data? works for me no probs?

Long-press red key just locks my device....

ah but you can change long press key settings. its in settings/buttons/end key or sometimes in settings/system/.

Do you know what is the reg key which is editet with this simple operation?
Is there any possibility to simulate long press red button to disconnect GPRS via code?

I too would love to find a key button way or larger touch screen way to manually disconnect the data connection. The 3G sign is so small - I have to take out the stylus.

well depending on the build of your rom, the long press end key will end data connection if yoyu so wish, you just have to select the item in the settings as decribed above. I dont see the need for script or code to do this if your rom supports the function anyway?

That's great advice - thanks but my rom is obviously different.
ie. In the pulldown menu for button functions - there is no end option. The nearest thing is OK/Close but long holding that changes the speaker/vibrate - it doesn't effect the data connection..

Sorry I was assuming we needed to add a different function to one of the hardware keys. In which case an `end' was not in the pulldown options for button assigning. I finally realized that simply pressing the call end key itself does indeed disconnect the data connection.
Thanks a lot for your help.

no problems my friend

Editing the home screen

Is it possible to change camera&phone from the bottom of the home screen to eg. wifi&phone?

emili000 said:

yes it is possible

Yes! I've used Advanced Configuration Tool v3.3.cab.
In advanced configuration you can select different applications to set in the bottom of the home screen.

Could you tell me where will I find it (which option should I choose)

Search here in XDA for "advanced configuration tool V3.3.cab" (thanks shape!) and install it!
Then U go in "User Interfaces"->menu->more setting->key mapping and here you can sett every programs you want assign to the sofkeys!

in order to not make another thread; where will I find "phone"? I've changed it by mistake, and now I can't switch it back.

If you use AdvancedConfig then, you can change the softkey by looking up the "phone" shortcut from the drop down list or you can just leave it blank & it will change it automatically to the default setting.

Maybe a little OT... But I read that .NET 3.5 needs to be installed. Can I simply download and install it or do i need to manually do register changes afterwards (read that I had to somewhere)?

Just install NetCF3.5 to your phone (Main Memory or Storage Card) does not matter, mine is running just fine from SD Card. Soft reset & it should run with no issues.

Continuing the OT:
The Netcf 3.5 is not replace automatically but we must change the values on the register.
HKey_Local_Machine -> Software -> Microsoft ->. NETCompactFramework
click on item 2.0.7045.00 and change the value from 1 to 0
click on item 3.5.7283.00 and change the value from 0 to 1
Close ... soft reset and you have the ROM with the NETCF 3.5!

ok, now I know. However it worked for me without having to change registry settings.

or use this progam, works on diamond 2 too..

Does anyone know how you might, in a similar vain, get Notes to appear on the home screen?

@marcelvanblankers:
doesnt work on my td2! after restart it seems like it does, as there actually are the replaced buttons being displayed, but when tf3d launches there are "phone" and "camera" back again.

That's BS.
I just installed NetCF 3.5 via .cab and Advanced Config worked, without any registry changes.

i was talking of the softkeymanager1_1_diamond_beta.ARM_WM5.cab

you must check the checkbox in the program to change the keys when using TF3D....
one is for standard today, the other for TF3D..
greetz

that's exactly what i did. i just tried it again - same thing, no change.

I'm looking for a solution to replace the calendar by the tasks and notes in the home screen.
Does anyone knows how to do it?
Tks

change the keys in program, save settings then exit.
in TF3D switch a tab and switch back to homescreen.
now it will be changed, it works on my diamond2. in TF3d and in original today.
do you have .net 3.5 installed? i know i have.. don't know if it matters..

If you want everything in 1 button then install HD2_12_button_HD_action_screen_v1.0 which will map itself to a long press of the End Button (right side) and give you toggles for everything you need.
If you want seperate shortuct buttons then I have made a single cab for reset bluetooth Data Disconnect and wifi shortcuts (will be in start menu, programs).
No data is a seperate cab to choose whether to enable/disable data connections permanently.
Not sure about a power off shortcut.

In addition...
Are there separate .cabs for toggling between:
silent mode (on/off)
vibrate (on/off)
aeroplane mode (on/off)
I thought there was something that had this covered but can't find it now, but from memory, wasn't it a bit unstable?
Thanks.

Just to check, the cab is compatible with Artemis WWE V15.5 or rather Winmo 6.5.5 build 23570 Manila 2.5.20121412.2?
Oh ya, thanks for your tutorials on flashing custom roms! Got me started and helped tremendously!! Cheers mate!

Any screen shots?
Do these toggle switches have icons similar to the weather on/off toggle switch? That is what I am currently looking for here on XDA but can't find.
I mean will it show a different icon for on and off? As I already have the toggle switches for the data, wifi, bluetooth etc from TouchX but when activated you can't really tell from the icons whether it was on or not (unless you check the wireless control settings.)
