Hi
I have the M1000 (see my profile)
I use it with the Plantronics M3000 bluetooth headset, but after one (1) minute the headset is automatically disconnected, while the call is still connected to my M1000.
Any one knows what setting I need to change to keep it connected????
Hey m8,
Try this one:
http://bluetooth.i-networx.de/index_e.html
Maybe that will help ya....
panja thnx for the tip
but...
I installled it and now I am running into problems:
according to the online manual
The two battery icons on the right side let you switch between two profiles for auto power off of the PDA and the back light. For example you may switch to the second mode and adjust the settings to "always on" and "never switch back light off". Thereby you can switch the PDA with one simple to "always on" when you are in your car and want to use GPS navigation.

Click to collapse
but How do I get into the settings?? I can click or tap the icon longer, nothing happens?
I searched in the programs folder, in the settings folder, but can not find any icon referring to this tool????
2nd problem is that after removing the original bt profile I recreated the bond again, as advised in the manual. I got the new additional screen, but now I can not connect to my headset!!!!
anyone out there to help me??
one part of the problem solved
after some trial and error (and a soft restart, which was not adviced by the installing instructions) the headset work fine now
only question remains, how can I change the settings of the 2 battery icons in the today plugin
HI,
You don't need to change any setup options... Only select wich mode (1 or 2) you want to change and... do what you want ! I mean you only need to ajust - for example - backlight level and it will be kept in this mode !!!
Really cool, isn't it !?

Hi again,
after some longer time, i had again time to play with my tool.
...and here is the new version!
Completely rewritten, it has a new name, it supports Infrared/BT Incoming Beams controlling, and of course Micro$oft's Bluetooth.
I decided to split it into two parts. One is the SwitchIT application itself, and another one is a pocket pc service (WatchIT) for constantly watching Bluetooth and Obex status and displaying notifications. It was needed because if you turned BT on/off with another application/control panel, there was no notification.
At the moment I'm posting "prerelease 4" version of SwitchIT app for TESTING and COMMENTING (WatchIT service is not included yet).
That means it is more or less finished, however you'll not get any notifications at the moment.
I will post complete version (WatchIT service included) within next days.
Please do some comments on the "prerelease 3 version", so I can improve it, if needed.

Hi all,
here's my little BT ON/OFF switch application for all devices using Micro$oft bluetooth stack.
It is the simpliest app in the world, however I was missing it too much, coz I was forced to use stylus or finger to switch BT On/Off.
Now once you install this, all you need to do is to assign it to HW button and that's it.
Turning BT On or Off with a HW button press.
No more picking up the stylus and going through the menus etc...

Latest version 23.03.2005 ver 0.0.0.4 fixed for button mapping
This is a "prerelease 4" version for testing.
Renamed the app to "SwitchIT".
Supports Obex controlling (incoming beams - IR/BT).
All in one .exe again.
No notifications in this test version.
Command line arguments:
bon -> BT on
bof -> BT off
bds -> BT discoverable
bsw -> BT switch (ON/OFF)
bsd -> BT switch (Discoverable/Off)
oon -> OBEX on (Incoming BT/IR beams)
oof -> OBEX off (Incoming BT/IR beams)
osw -> OBEX Switch (ON/OFF)
no/unknown cmdline argument -> ?? guess what... ))
Latest prod. version 25.02.2005 ver 2.51
Nicer icons.
Different icons for each mode.
Some error handling.
Older Versions
Update 24.02.2005 ver 2.5
OK, so here it is again, with bubble notification...
However, i should probably redesign the discoverable icon, coz i don't like it...
Update 23.02.2005 ver 2.0
It takes now following command line arguments:
bon (for BTH on)
bof (for BTH off)
bds (for BTH discoverable)
If there is no argument, it works as before:
If BT is Off, then BT On
If BT is On, then BT Off
You can find the shortcuts in Start -> Programs -> Bluetooth Switch
Then use some button mapper, like NightmarE wrote below:

Thanks for your useful tool. It works well in my XDA Mini. Can you develop one more simple app: turn on/off "receive all incoming beams" function?

Don't get me wrong I would love to have another utility, I specially like the idea of having it as a shortcut on the pocket Plus.

how about if it will take commandline parameters?
Can the VITO map the shortcuts or set cmdline parameters?
Examples:
BT_tool.exe -OFF
BT_tool.exe -ON
BT_tool.exe -DSCVR

I'm not getting you wrong... i bet, there are also other apps which are doing this... but as I said, I don't use them, so all I needed was a small tool with this single purpose. So i did it and share it here... ))

Thanks for your considering, Buzz!
I dont think reboot is needed. Usually, I turn off "Receive all incoming beams" to save power, and then someone wants to send some files to my PPC via infra port. I have to turn "Receive all incoming beams" on by tap Start Menu\Settings\Connections\Beam->tap "Receive all incoming beams" check box. After that, evrybody can send to my ppc via infra port without soft reset my ppc. How do you think?
Yes, it is great if your small app supports command-lines
BT_tool.exe OFF -> Bluetooth off
BT_tool.exe ON -> Bluetooth on
BT_tool.exe DIS -> Discoverable
(And maybe, it has more??? )
BT_tool.exe INF -> Allow receive all incoming beams
BT_tool.exe INF0 -> Not allow receive all incoming beams)
Well, dont worry about some ButtonMapper doesnt support command-lines because we can make a shortcut file (*.lnk) to command-lines into it.
@Pocket Me
..i tried it 2day... sent .vcf over IR, then disabled incomming beams and i was able to receive it again...
but anyway, i will do it... 4U... ;o)
one app, which will take parameter + couple of shortcuts for each param...
buzz
ok i think u can make commandlines by shortcuts? if it can so the vito mapper may assigned

Yeah, the whole website was nuked a while back and rather than to patch it I'm working to do a whole thing again, just haven't had much time, since I'm studing for my certifications. Soon though, Have a lot of cool things to share
Thanks Buzz,
Much needed tool, Great to hear that commandline features are coming up
Keep up the good work
ok gyus,
thanx for ideas...
i will do it this way:
1. it will take all those parameters
2. if run without any parameter, it will work just the same as now...

Hi Guys,
Apols if this has been answered before, but i have searched
I use Sony bluetooth stereo headset for my music. But to get them to connect every time i have to do lots of clicks : start/settings/connections/bluetooth then right click on the headset and click set as wireless stereo.
This is a major pain in the butt but i lurv the headphones
Is there any way to make a shortcut to the bluetooth section and i can then place this short cut on launcher of HTC home, it would save alot of clicks!!
I have tried to create a shortcut, but the settings/connections/bluetooth is not visible in file explorer, (yes show all files is switched on)
It would be IDEAL if possible to create a small program that i can then install that would do all of the above steps, then i could simply click the program on the laucher and hey presto my head phones connect I am not conversant in programming on WM..... yet, so would really appreciate help and willing to donate
Try this one
Ha Ha thanks, but that only takes me to the comm manager and only sensibly cuts me one click. Was looking really for something more, but thanks for the reply
Hey buddy try this!!! I'm not sure what you are using as an app that will create a button for you but this should do it for you . I think!!!!
I made a shortcut to bluetooth.
To do it create a file called bluetooth.lnk and put the following line of code in it:
23#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,23,1?\Windows\AppButtons\bluetooth.gif
I think it is best to put this shortcut into the programs directory in windows and then you can choose it from the dropdown lists.
But better than that is to use A2DPToggle. Which makes it one press only to enable bluetooth and one press to sync headset or unsync headset on the Today screen. Killer app if you have bluetooth headset.

Fantastic, thanks for the advice, the A2DPToggle is exactly what i need. I had found a way to use battery status as it has a2dp toggle on there, but it uses a tray icon which takes up too much today screen, hence the reason for putting it on launcher tab on HTC home.
I downloaded A2DPToggle and now have a toggle switch on my HTC home launcher tab so the pluggin on the today screen is not needed
Here is the link for anyone else : http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=freeware
Also attached is a small cab file which switches a2dp off and on, meaning you dont need to have the plugin on the today screen as it provides a switch that is placed on the start menu and which can be placed on the HTC home launcher, many thanks to JKingGrim the developer!! Works a treat!!
Thanks for the switcha2dp app. This is exactly what I was looking for. Works like a charm with my Vogue running Manilla 2D!
Any chance of getting an icon for it, so it's not just the plain window icon?
Sony Headphones
With mine all I have to do is press the middle button on the Headphones and it automatically makes them the default sound device?
i still hav to turnb bluetooth on though!
Quick and stupid question - how do I actually go about creating a .lnk file on my Touch Diamond?
Thanks
Ed.

Why don't you use Home Screen ++ ?
It has a tray icon for bluetooth settings (on/off,A2DP,pair,settings)
lol thanks for the reply, but home screen plus is a pain if your running manila and dont want to use a second today screen, your relying on a home plugin. Also home++ doesnt do the job of the a2dp switch.
The switch is very effective in that you can put a shortcut in the program laucher and its direct and effective... give it a try.
I don't know what the issue is, doesn't just pressing the play button on your A2DP headset automatically connect it to your phone?

No problem any more my friend, as post 1 now says, solved but thanks anyway.
sorry for upping this old thread
is there any tool doing the same thing to HTC HD2 (Leo)
this does not work any more
thanks
Not entirely sure this is "allowed" ...if not, please forgive me, sir moderator, sir...i don't mean any harm!
What i am looking for (perhaps it DOES exist, i'm just to useless to find it) is a wifi AND bluetooth toggling button (that i can use as a shortcut on my home screen)
I currently am using Dutty's Holy Grail R1 ROM and AKToggleWifi with great success! however, of the three icons on my start screen (yes, i haven't got the fourth one to work!?!) i do not have space to spare a seperate bluetooth toggle button.
It doesn't even have to be fancy...something like:
1 push - enable Wifi
2nd push - disable wifi
3rd push - enable bluetooth
4th push - disable bluetooth.
(i can't think of another way of getting it all working without a "hold" mechanism...maybe i am just THAT noob? lol)
I am willing to donate a beer or two (or coca-cola, sprite, hot chocolate, etc) to some1 who can make me a nice little cab...
any1 got any ideas?
I'm using Today Screen Radio Device Toggler which provides single-click interface to toggle your bluetooth/wifi/phone on and off directly from the Today Screen
Get it here;

Browse / search on this site for nice free HTC software. Also take a look at their 'desktop' site.
Have fun

I can give you a complete solution, using the buttons:
Camera button, wifi, bluethout toglle, reset, scroll down/up
app lanch
How's that???
In 4 simple steps:
1 - Install Keyboard Config
2 - Goto Setings
3 - Load My Configuration
4 - Donate to the App Developer His app rocks
YES! franklopez you are CORRECT! that is PERFECT! (also, thank you to Senax, it's nice, but Keyboard Config wins the day!)
I will donate to that man with a plan, tarkim!
GG!
I`m agree with you guys, keyboard config is a great app, it works just perfect on our Diamonds.
To have a shortcut to togle bluetooth/wifi in today screen, helps a lot but normaly when you realise that it is off, you have already the app that needs it open, then you need to go again to today screen to togle, with this app you can toggle bt/wifi, everywhere.
This is locker (screen and sometimes buttons) what i have made for myself.
It's alternative for S2U2 and windows screen lock.
Main features:
1. Lock screen and keys on wake up, but only when ambient light level low
2. Lock screen when any phone activity (dialing, talking, incoming call offering). Because proximity sensor works not very good.
3. Quick unlock without slide using double click on hardware Back button
4. Quick power off after resume if not unlocked
5. Adapted for Inesoft Phone (greate app for me because of customizing contact rings and custom names for phone fields of contacts)
Additional features:
1. Reminders for missed calls, unread sms messages
2. Screen off after call connected
3. Vibrate alerting during the call: connected, n-th second of talking
4. Alternative sms alerting (used by me for setup once and did not setup again after reflash
5. SMS patch utility replace of Zenyee disable Htc Messaging (white form appears on the screen for short time nervous me)
6. Auto redial if call dialing failed
7. Changing keyboard when stylus in/out (yep, i know that HD2 does not have stylus)
8. Simulate stylus out event for unlocking S2U2 with double click on hardware button Back
Disadvantages
1. Settings changed only through registry
2. Minimalistic interface
Advantages
1. First stable build of this utility with good CAB install and uninstall (hope for this)
2. Changed for best (for me) locking of the phone
3. Native code only (I like managed code, but it's speed periodically sucks for small apps)
Install
1. Install attached CAB
2. Settings described in readme.txt file in installed directory (default is \Program Files\HtcExtFun)
Hints
1. This tool can not lock Answer and End hardware keys in call (i don't know hot to apply this and don't want to do this)
Will be interest for your feedback!
A pity none has still posted his feedback, so let me be the first.
1- great app: i use version 0.2 since a long time with great satisfaction (and now that Leo roms disables transcriber in SipMenu, HtcExtFun is the only way to recall it)
2- What did work in old version seems to work well in this one as well (i used only stylus in/out and missed calls/sms reminder)
3- On my device the new screen lock doesn't work. Maybe it's because i have a Blackstone and not a Leo? Anyway i run Manila 2.5.1921 (as Leo), and on resume after suspend the "screen locked" square is there. But not only i can normally use my screen (i can swipe across Manila tabs without problems), but trying to slide the slider nothing happens: the square is still there, the cursor doesn't move. It's a pity, because this was a great improvement (it works with the back double tap, but it's the only way [and i don't like it, since when in my pocket i often press keys]).
4- It's useless i post a screenshot since what appears is the same as in yours
5- Can i suggest you to post your app in "Dev&Hacking" forum? I never read this one since i don't have a Leo, and so only for chance did find you released a new improved version.
6- There are some undocumented reg values:
* HandleSmsPatch
* MaximizeVolumeTime
* LSensorOffValue (i suppose it's for light sensor?)
7- You have not documented that "ScreenLockWhenResumePowerOff"=dword:00000000 disables the poweroff timeout
8- A thing i don't like is that app add itself missing registry keys filling them with standard values. So i, on purpose, didn't add the AlertNewSmsScript and AlertNewSmsSound, but at first start the app did add them to registry.
9- For your records, this is my reg config:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HtcExtFun]
"HandleSmsPatch"=dword:00000000
"ScreenLockWhenResumePowerOff"=dword:00002710

"AlertBatteryLevel"=dword:00000000
Sadly i have to edit my previous 2). Sms/missed call reminder doesn't work with this new version: no sound at all. So i switched back to 0.2
Nice!
Maybe you can help us here?

Hi exidler,
I just tried your soft, which was cool but not the soft-locker I want.
So I wanted to unsintall ... damn! It doesn't work.
Whenever I try, I got that error message "can't register touch driver" (a window titled HtcExtFun Unsintall).
I try after deleting the startup link, and a softreset, so that the exe wasn't running ..
How can I proceed ?
Thank you in advance.
I'm in the same case. I've already deleted all the corresponding keys in the reg but nothing else to do. I'm still stuck with that problem. And no way to reinstall it.
Edit : I used SK Tools software to clean all the registry and unused folders, and now it works.
