SwitchIT 0.4 (BlueTooth Switch v2.51) here - upd 23.03.2005

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:

Thank you!
Thanks Buzz, great little tool!

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.

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...

ok i think u can make commandlines by shortcuts? if it can so the vito mapper may assigned

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...

How to A2DP Switch for bluetooth stereo headset - SOLVED POST 6

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?

Thanks for the credits and great that it works perfectly for you.
I added to the StylusLock description how to go to sleep immediately, by just pressing the Power Button and inserting the Stylus. But maybe you did know this already.

Thanks ZuinigeRijder, this was answer to all my locking needs!
For GPS purposes, it would be nice to have option to lock/unlock with lets say long keypress (home, back, answer, hangup -key), since its bit tricky on my mount to take out stylus for unlocking.
But anyway, this is best so far. I also love your idea to keep app simple and low resource eater.
(I will post duplicate of this to Diamond side also).

I think will be good to include what ROM you have tested this software from Diamond. This will give us a really good info...

So every time you want to make or answer a call you have to remove the stylest?.. Is that right?

No - Every time you want to un-lock the phone with the lock enabled you have to remove the stylus? To re-lock just insert the stylus? You can switch the "software" on and off for when you want it enabled or dissabled?
To me EN4CER69 this is a bit of a "Doh...!!!!" type question? If you didnt have to un-lock before making or answering a call - then the phone wouldnt be locked now would it????? Sigh.....

Stylus Lock
I have trailled Stylus Lock for a few days now.
It took a bit of getting used to, mainly due to the lack of on screen notification of the lock state.
My main gripe is that the power button was disabled in the lock state. This forces me to use the 'Turn off Device' in the Power settings, set to something like 40 seconds. Not a major problem, but I would like to be able to manually switch off the power as soon as I return the stylus and lock the device. Does that make sense?
Once more thing - I realise that this is called 'Stylus Lock' and I think that function is great. However, I think a simple pattern of keying the hardware keys as an unlock method would be a great addition.
That would solve the problem of not having to take the stylus out just to read an SMS or answer a call.
So what I'm saying is that this application is great. It is stable and worked as designed.

1. Do not like the Power Button being disabled. No chance for immediate power off when locked.
2. Screen Notification
3. Alternative Unlock using a pattern of key presses.
Thanks

You can do it like this.
While Stylus Lock enabled you are done with your tasks and want to put device in sleep mode and locked - Press power button and then insert stylus. Device goes to sleep and you feel lock vibration notify. To wake up device, simply pull out stylus and it unlocks also.

StylusLock
Youtube video StylusLock in action on wmpoweruser.com. Note that this video is version 1.1. New version 1.2 has a StylusLock indicator and only vibrates now when locked or Stylus LockMode is enabled. This saves a bit battery.
Version 1.2.1
* Found the problem why the icon was disappearing. So now I do not need to redo the locked icon each 55 seconds No CPU usage again.
* Apply the lock icon immediately AFTER it is really locked
* Remove the lock icon immediately AFTER it is really unlocked
* I had a lockup of the TD today (with version 1.2), so I do not hope this version is buggy
* Added the missing sources (forgot to put under source control
Version 1.2
* Added StylusLock indicator when locked. Works for TouchFlo3D screen as well as other Today screens.
* Because the StylusLock indicator is now visible if locked, it no longer vibrates when unlocked (saves extra battery)
* Kept StylusLock as simple and small as possible (only 1Kb in memory) and does still consume no CPU (check with TaskManager!!).
* v1.2 is even a bit smaller then v1.1, although the StylusLock indicator has been added.
Version 1.1
When the stylus is put inside it will only vibrate if "stylus Lock mode" gets enabled and/or the phone is getting locked. If there is no vibration, you know the phone is not locked and "stylus Lock mode" is disabled. Added source code.

Smal App for turning "screenlock" on and turn off display?

Hi all,
is it possible to write a small program like the wifi toggle,
just with the function to turn the screenlock on and turn the display off?
reason why:
i dont have the auto screenlock enabled because i dont need it the hole time, just when i go to work and home.
so it would be nice if there a small app like the wifi toggle to do this 2 steps.
anyone? many thanks in advice!

dont wanna use the hardwarebutton?
what about pressing START and LOCK?
DN41

use VJDeviceLock
this old app should serve your need well

I have the feeling that you can use one of the four shortcuts created by laskarface in this thread. You don't have to install the whole theme, just download the LaskarLink v1.1, there should be the application you need. But beware, I'm not absolutely sure it's really the programs attached to the icons, and not some other modification of manila... Maybe you should go to this thread and ask laskarface directly...

I use this app, don't remember where I found it, but it works great..

wifi / bluetooth switch tile

I want a quickly accessible switch to turn on/off bluetooth and wifi... why has that not been addressed with Mango? MS always claims that WP7 has been designed to access features with less effort (clicks) but turning on bluetooth or wifi (which is a daily accessed feature for me and I assume for a lot of other people as well) still needs at least 3 clicks. That could be reduced to maybe 1 if there would be a tile for the switches...
Hope someone addresses this "problem" soon...

Yes they have to add some sort of quicktoggles down the line..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1209853&highlight=toggle

Nice discussion in your linked post! I like the toggles on the right hovering over the tiles when swiping to the right or with a little button underneath the -> (right arrow on the right)
Also the idea to have them on the app-list screen is a good one...
This has to be addressed. We need a petition and send it to MS!

They surely has some ideas in the works themselves, but probably far down on the todo-list.

there is a xap which i try but it doesn't work for my nodo.Can't remember the website.

The Wifi toggle should be in the topbar directly.
I can't believe that it is currently so complicated to turn on/off Wifi...

I know. That's kept me from setting up my work's wifi network on there. It's not worth the effort to turn it off when I need to get somewhere blocked by our filter.
I would also rather like to see the ability to choose specific BT profiles. I have a car stereo that supports Bluetooth. While the A2DP is useful, the handsfree on it pretty much sucks. Problem is that every call I make or receive ends up jumping over to the hands free and I have to go back in and turn off the headset.

Just leave WiFi on, I never turn it off. I used WiFi both at home and at work and WiFi uses less then the mobile network. I do agree a toggle would be good or at least enable pinning settings items to start and/or apps list.
