My WiFi shuts off every time my screen blanks out. I can see this being good if I were on battery, but personally only use WiFi when plugged into A/C. Is there a registry edit that'll change this 'feature' and leave WiFi running?! Thanks!
Yeah, that fix would be nice!
I noticed that Skype by-passes idle-mode in it's software and that's one way to fix it. To bad that not all apps do that...
If you use it only when charging, you can configure your cruise to stay on when the device is charging.
Mi cruise is in Spanish, so i will translate the options as i think it must be in english.
Go to START, CONFIGURATION, SISTEM, ENERGIE, ADVANCED
And there you can configure the options to turn off the device when is on battery and when it is charging.
Hope it will be usefull.
That was an answer to a different question, perhaps someone will find your tip useful. Thanks though.
The question is how to stop WiFi from shutting off when the screen blacks out, whether or not it's plugged into AC.

Hi, Benjimen, did you check Schap's Advanced Config 3.2.0.0, there are some settings for Wifi. I haven't tweaked/tested any of them since I don't use much of Wifi. Hope it may help you.
Thanks -- I've read about that, but haven't tried it. Was really hoping someone knew the registry tweak to accomplish it, looks like I'm out of luck though
It sounds like you're 'guessing' it might be a feature? Does anyone who has tried the program actually know and care to post factual info? I took a look at the info for the software, and it does't appear to be one of the tweaks, at least not in the example screens.

I have the Schap's Advanced Config 3.1.0.0 installed and i cant find enything about that, only to shutdown the wifi if there is no activity....
I alsa didnt know that there was a 3.2.0.0 version, will try to check that out later.
Chears.
PS: sorry benjimen if my previous post didnt help...
i have downloaded the 3.2.0.0 and i also could not find anything there that could solve your problem.
Chears.
the problem is when one click the power button one dont
turn off the screen
one suspend the device power most systems down
you can get programs which just turn off the screen
which would leave the wifi on
but the device run out of batt pretty fast if it's
not suspented
In Polaris.Aserg.WM61.WWE ROM WMP plays when the screen is switched off, Probably you can check with him for your requirement.

benjimen, as was given as a tip changing the time-out is a working temporary solution.
I did something similar with a software that allowed me to make "user profiles". The "work" profile had a longer time-out just to keep my wi-fi active

Thank you 02xda2, I found a tweak in the thread you linked to, the registry entries did the trick! Here they are for anyone who might be interested:

Thanks, but I got it with just the registry entry. I've always had bad luck with the do-it-all tweaker programs, at some point set something I shouldn't and mess something up.

So, I have noticed that a lot of the newer roms have a discover icon flashing in the system tray. Is there a way to disable that? Its really irritating, and I like to leave bt discover on all the time.
Thanks!
I've tried looking in the forums and on google, but I havent found anything helpful
Go to Settings > Today > Items and uncheck the BT connection
This isnt on the today screen its in the tray... see attached screenshot.
The only items I have on my today screen are HTC home, battery status, resco and IM+ but none of those applications have those features, and when I have everything tunred off and just a plain today screen it still does it.
I just flashed my friends phone... turned on bt discover and the icon is there.. its so irritating what can I do to get rid of this thing!?
Thanks!

Battery Status
Have you disable tray launch in battery status?
I use the tray launch stuff from battery status, but the flashing bluetooth icon is not part of battery status. Like I said, I just flashed my friends phone and have not installed battery status yet and it still does it. I think its part of the new WM6.1 roms

It’s in the Bluetooth file sharing settings. If you select Setting>Connections>Bluetooth>FTP>Enable File Sharing (check) the icon is always flashing. I’m sure it’s some registry setting that can be modified to fix it.

Thats a timeout for discovery mode... so of course after 1 minute when discovery mode turns off, that icon will go away.

All you have to do is turn off "Discoverable".
Any Bluetooth item you have already paired with will still work, so there is no need to have discoverable on all the time, is there?

In my house I have really bad reception. Some apps sometimes try to use my data connection to download updates. The problem is, if I don't have any reception at that time, a window pops up telling me it cannot connect.
How can I turn that off? I went through settings and notifications and couldn't find anything. I went through Schapp's Advanced Config and couldn't find it either. There must be a way to disable notification that the phone couldn't connect for data... so how do I do it?
deactivate data connection in comm manager. I use phonealarm which does it every night and have no more "cannot connect"-messages anymore.
Thanks for the reply... but that's not exactly what I'm looking to do.
I work from home so I'm home most of the day. I use my phone quite a bit to for certain tasks. I need the phone to be able to try and connect whenever it wants... I just don't want to be notified if it can not connect.

I haven't found a way to do this. However, I've written a program to handle those popups while using TomTom (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=458342), but there's no reason why you couldn't have something like that running all the time. It wouldn't stop the popups, but it would auto-close them for you within a short period of time.
Do you want me to write that for you?
Cheers,
Steve.
Thanks for the reply Steve and for offering to create an app for me.
But I don't think it would really solve my biggest issue... which is having the popup show every few minutes while I'm actually using the phone. It's faster for me to just click on the dismiss button.
So it doesn't look like there's a way to disable this "feature." You'd think there'd be a registry value to edit or something.
But thank you again for offering to help.

Yes, you would have thought there would be an option for this. A program to auto close the dialog could make it so that it literally just flicks up, and then disappears, but I agree it's not terribly satisfactory.

What you need is to turn off Auto Connecting, but you have to do manual using some registry edit software:
Change DWORD Value from "1" to "0" in:
HKCU\Software\HTC\ConnectionSetup\EnableAUTODetect

I am trying to prevent my TP2 from automatically going on standby mode after calls end. Anyone know which registry entry I need to edit?
Maybe you can have a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4430725
Hope that can help....any further helps are needed.
Thanks for the reply. That is to reassign the wake-up key. I do not want it to automatically go on standby after every call. I am severely physically disabled and cannot press the hardware keys.
might be a dumb question to ask, but since I don't know of any setting/software that would make you're phone go into standby immediately following a call, are you sure that...
1) it sleeps IMMEDIATELY after the call....and
2) Tah you're device isn't simply suspending according to you power/backlight options set in Settings / System / Power / Advanced "turn off backlight" & "turn off device" settings?
I know that the backlight will fast sleep DURING a call which can also be changed but it sounds like your issue is different than this.
Post further details for addional help.

Do you have a TP2? I was told by HTC tech support that this "feature" is to save battery life and cannot be changed in the settings. I am positive it goes on standby immediately after every call. I have been through every setting on the phone and cannot find the cause. I am going to re-flash the stock ROM to see if there's a difference.
If you have a TP2...
1) What ROM are you running?
2) After a call, do not touch your phone. Do not even hit the End key. See if your phone goes on standby.
ok...yes I think the setting ur referring to is the FAST SLEEP on phone calls. Meaning the backlight goes off nearly immediately after RECEIVING a call but while ur still on the phone....right?
I am not sure the registry entry right now but there is a tweak app that should fix that for you. Not sure what that app is on a TP2 but on Kaiser/Tytan 2 it's a kaiser tweak and on my Fuze/Diamond it's the Diamond Tweak app. Maybe someone can comment as to whether the Diamond Tweak app is compatible with the TP2 or maybe google "kaiser tweak for touch pro 2". BTW it is a tweak/hack and not a system setting that you can disable that I know of. So flashing ROMs is pointless u'll still have to tweak unless it's already tweaked n the rom.
Give me a day/so I'll find that and post back
I'll look for the registry hack if someone doesnt beat me to the post.
Hope that helps......
hey try these registry hacks on ur phone to see if that prevents what ur trying to stop. To edit the registry u can install and use total commander
*** Prevent Fast Sleep During Phone Call ***
HKEY_Local_Machine\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastD
ormantDisplayDuringCall to 0
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\Sleep switch value from 1 to 0

Hope that Helps!
My device does not go to sleep during calls. ONLY after calls end. I have tried 2 apps, and neither worked.
NoSleep
Power Tweaker 2
Thanks for the suggestions, let's keep trying! I'm sure we can figure this out!

Any current "device lock" or power related programs currently installed that might have a setting controlling the status/suspend of the phone after a call is hung up? I think Slide to Unlock used to have a setting that did this, so maybe it's another app that is unknowingly causing this behavior.
I will google a bit and see what else I might be able to come up with. Thanks for the clarification on whether it is during/after a call. Sleeping immediately AFTER a call is not a normal behavior with my phone or my previous winmo phone either... so it is a bit puzzling to me.

The only app I have installed currently is Touchtris. I am using EnergyROM StandardM2.5 from Sept 12.
Your continued help is greatly appreciated.
I have somewhat found out what was causing my issue. I was using EnergyROM StandardM2.5 build Sept 12. I re-flashed my TP2 to the stock ROM, and my issue is resolved.
So the problem is either in the EnergyROM or Windows Mobile 6.5. I am going to flash another WM 6.5 ROM to see if the issue returns.
HTC tech support claims that the auto standby is an intended power saving feature, but it is not happening on the shipped ROM.

I'd be interested in this too. The 'Advanced Network' program lets me change it, but it also says that I need to reset the device after I change the setting.
I'm looking for something that I can just quickly toggle a few times a day when I'm not actively using 3g.

Wouldnt it be great if bluetooth turned on automattically when I put the phone in the car holder(with charge function), and when i pull it out bluetooth turns off.
I Know that Phone alarm can do the trick but i don't need all the extra things that come with phone alarm, it only messes things up.
Is there a simple cab file around who enables this function?
Or if there isnt, could someone make such a cab file? I know a lot of guys who would love to have this working.
I would like it!
i am using phonealarm which also supports this function. Find it at www.pocketmax.net
I know i used it also but it is overkill if i only want to use it for the bluetooth function.
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3367344
I installed it, reset my phone but it does not work.
Is this one especially for the hd2?
Oh boy would I like this! It's such an simple and usefull thing, and yet there still is no cab for it.
I'm not a developer, but it seems easy: power on = BT on, power off = BT off. It should be a matter of finding the right trigger for power on, and then combine it with the bluetooth-toggle cab found elsewhere. (See attached)
Who can help!
ps: it's for a HD2, so post mentioned above (bluepower) doesn't work indeed. Probably because of the other BT protocol used.
ps2: the attached Touch X Bluetooth Toggle.cab DOES work on HD2, but manually. If this cab can be changed to toggle BT on power-status in stead of manual input we'd have what we want.
ps3: phonealarm does know how to do the trick, but it's not flawless, and surely overkill. BUT.... the right trigger (powerstatus-on, powerstatus-off) should be in it somewhere... who can find it, and convert the attached BT toggle with it to the wanted function?
would be a nice one to have indeed, hope someone can help!

I set up a bunch of profiles but when you change (either manual or auto) the stuff you set up for the profiles in question just doesn't seem to happen. Hoping I'm just doing something wrong!

Sorry, but the logic is flawed. Some times the user may have BT on when not charging, then start charging. It would be bad to disconnect bt when he or she did not want to charge any more.
I'd do it like this: power on, save bt status, turn on bt regardless of previous state. power off, turn bt to same state as saved. You could possibly ask the user if he or she wanted to disconnect.
That would be an improved functionality indeed. But not needed for me (yet). I only use Bluetooth for connecting to my carkit. The rest of the day it's turned off. So for me power_on=BT_on and power_off=BT_off would be enough.
Your added function makes it even nicer though....
Nobody who can help us?

wow this topic goes down fast.
hope someone will pick this up, it's a really good idea
