Im just wondering if there is any way of making a shortcut to nodata which will deactivate/activate a specific connection?
I know that some apps have things like that built in, like the xdaShutdown that I have linked in my sig. If you make a shortcut to the .exe and add some text onto the end of it, it will do a specific function (in xdaShutdowns case, either shutdown, restart etc)
I use Nodata so often to turn on and off ONE connection so often that Its getting annoying having to open the app and then get notifications when you do things etc.
Id just love a shortcut in the start menu (which i would place into Sense)
which just enables or disables that specific connection without the hastle of going into the app and selecting it specifically.
My question is; is there any way of doing this?
The easiest thing to try may just be a mortscript that toggles the connection. Nodata basically just flips the keys from 0-1 in HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{xxxx}\Connections\...\enabled. I'm not sure if the guid is the same for everyone or not, and I'm also not sure if you need to soft reset or not if you do it with a mortscript (maybe nodata gets around that somehow-kind of doubt it, though). Or you could just export the key with dotfred's regedit when it's 0 and 1, and then import either one whenever you want to kill or enable the connection.
aah, right.
Thanks for the reply
erm, ive never really done anything with mortscript
I know what it is and have used it before, but never made anything myself
How might I go about making this as you suggested?
It's pretty simple. I just tested out a set, and it appears to work fine (although I don't actually have a data plan, lol). This is the basic form (I left out some of the guid-no idea if this is common to everyone or if it's hooked just to me).
Turn on voicestream:
Code:
RegWriteDWord("HKLM","\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4BxxxxxxxB1AA}\Connections\wap.voicestream.com","enabled",1)
Turn it off:
Code:
RegWriteDWord("HKLM","\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4BxxxxxxxB1AA}\Connections\wap.voicestream.com","enabled",0)
You need to have mortscript installed for it to run. It's pretty much instantaneous. I have 3 data streams (all of which do jack, but can mess with my wi-fi connections); just create text files for whatever you want, and change the extension to .mscr. When you click it, it will execute. I'm sure you could write a toggle script, but that's way beyond my skills, lol.
Thanks Ted, Ill try that out now
Awesome
Works brilliantly
Obviously had to change the location slightly because of having a different connection name; Mine calls it "Contract Internet" instead of "wap.voicestream.com"
Thanks
Now I have on/off buttons in my quicklinks on Touchflo 2.5 (sense)

Hi,
I'm very new to Windows mobile and it's my first post here, so please be kind if I overlooked something
I'm looking for a program which can execute actions based on the current location, preferably external/MortScript files. E.g. when I'm home I want the phone to turn on Wi-Fi, download GPS locations, weather info, mails automatically, and otherwise keep Wi-Fi turned off. When I'm at gym, I want to set the phone to vibrate, etc. I think my intention's clear.
If this program could differentiate btw. a computer-connection and car-charging cable, etc. it would be even better (I believe this could also be achieved by MortScript).
Is there any such program?
TIA
Found a program
I've been looking all day for such a program and found PocketZenPhone. With the so-called CellID based switches, it can automatically switch the profile, i.e. change sounds, turn on/off Wi-Fi and such, block unknown callers, etc.
I have yet to test it thoroughly, but it looks so far fantastic. If it only could execute programs (such as Tomtom on car, update weather at home, etc) it would be awesome; maybe it's a feature I couldn't find yet.
you can use rk-Locswitch

I think PhoneAlarm has at least the functionality of applying profiles based on the geographic location of the device. Never used it myself though.
I can confirm that PhoneAlarm works like a charm with different profiles.

Thanks for the replies guys PhoneAlarm looks as promising as PZP, if not better (but also more expensive).
Hey mates!
First of all I wanna wish you a hapy new year
Ok, now to my question.
I've got a HTC Touch HD a week ago.
I recognized that it establishes a data-connection without asking me.
When i'm using Wifi - no problem.
But as I don't have a data-flat that gets quite expensive, if I can't use Wifi (most of the time no wifi available).
Is it possible to set up Winmobile so that it asks me BEFORE establishing an data connection?
I didn't find any solutions, google didn't help me, too.
Of yourse I could just change the adresses in the settings.
e.g- "internet.t-mobile.de" to "internet.t-mobile.deXXX" ---> no connection possible.
But i want to receive and send MMS at any time, so that would not be possible any more.
I hope you can help me, thx.

try nodata
this should do what you need....i think
http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility-nodata/
thx, but not really what i need.
With this programm i still have to close connections by hand.
I just want WinMobile to ask me BEFORE it establishes a connection.
For example: When I open an programm which tries to download something, a popup should appear
--->
Establish data-connection?
[ ]Yes
[ ] NO
I hope u understand my problem

No one with the same problem here and a solutuon?

I have the same problem with my Touch 3G (Jade). Turning the Data Connection off in the Main Touchflow settings tab helps but doesn't stop it completely. The worst thing is that doesn't seem to download anything but just connecting is enough to start costing.
I spoke to HTC today and they gave me a solution to this problem. Go to Settings, Connections, Connections, Advanced and then Select Networks. There you should find a drop down tab with something like ******GPRS, where ****** is your network. Now now choose New and create a new connection name like "No GPRS" for example. Click OK.
You now have a title but no settings so when you select this one, the phone can't connect to the internet. It might attempt to connect but it won't go through. Don't worry about MMS as this uses a different set of settings and works perfectly (for me).
Hope this helps, Woolly.
Find what apps are creating the connection so you can prevent it. Spb Monitor should be able to show you that.
Using Modaco NoData (link given above) will just do the same saving your time (you don't have to create a fake connection set).
What schlitzohr1812 wants is a way to make WM ask for permission to connect. I haven't heard of anything like this, but if you assign a shortcut to NoData it's almost as easy as what you are looking for. By the way, despite the name, NoData will prevent WM from opening connections, not only to exchange data over them.
Just remember that if you disable the connection while it is already open, you still have to close it manually. Also beware that if in your Comm Manager you have an enabled "Data connection" button (on some phones it's always disabled when the connection is closed, on others it can be used to open it), that button WILL open a connection even if they are disabled.
Thx for helping guys, but "Black Antitoon" is right.
That's not exactly what I was searching for but better than nothing.
I'm used to my old nokia phone (N70) which asked me before.
Incomprehensible why Windows Mobile does not have such an option...

anybody wrote an app for this data permission yet please?
does anyone know how to permanently disable wifi on a at&t tilt 8925, or know where I can find out from. by permanently I mean remove or disable the wifi antena, or some kind of program to edit the connection manager and remove the wifi on off switch.
try to delete this registry with registry editor: (it will ruin your registry setting about wifi, so wifi is permanently disabled, as your request)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\comm\TNETW1251]
and
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\comm\TNETW12511]
and
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager\WLAN]
and for the comm manager: make sure you dont have any text written "WLAN" in here:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager\5]
@="DataDisconnection"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager\4]
@="3G"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager\3]
@="WLAN" -> remove this, change to something else (ActiveSync, etc)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager\2]
@="Bluetooth"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager\1]
@="Phone"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager\0]
@="FlightMode"
there, you wont have any wifi in comm manager and available wifi,.
which editor should I use, and do u also know how I could delete bubble breaker and solatire
This worked somewhat for my somewhat bricked 8525 with WM6.1 (couldn't get radio working). There wasn't a "TNETW1251" but something similar "TNET..." Only problem was I set it up while WiFi was enabled so now it searches for WiFi and there seems to be no way to disable it.
I will eventually put those Registry items back so I can see what the deal is. Does this work similarly on an HTC Fuze? Whether I can disable WiFi will be a determining factor in whether I will buy the Fuze.

I don' mean to pry and if it is none of my business just say so, but why go to those extremes when you can just " shut it off" in your comm manager.
Two login names Joe? or two separate people coincidently named Joe.
I am a man with little self control, who is relying on the strength of God and His guidance for wiser choices. I love my 8525, but I "done it in," so I'm thinking of upgrading to something newer that has the same features. None of the other phones had the QWERTY board like I wanted. I use a program called Pocket eSword and have a ton of notes and highlighting in it. I may just continue using my 8525 as a PDA and get something simpler, but I also like the idea of an all-in-one. I also like using Word and Excel. Any insight would be appreciated.
Has anybody tested this?
double post sorry

Yes i tried it and it does as it says ,wifi is blocked, i was fed up with my tytn switching wifi on for no reason and draining my battery all the time. Since i removed the wireless reg settings i have no wifi and no power drain. So i am happy. Thanks for the info

maybe he gives it to his employeess and doesnt want them connecting to wifi, or maybe like me the rom just wants to connect to wifi all the time.
hello all,
1. I have been unsuccessfully trying to install the ms voip client that's been deliberately cut out of all roms for 750's
I followed all the possible instruction sets similar to, say, here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401608&highlight=voip
Everything seems to install ok and you can even configure the thing to go through 3g, but it just doesn't want to actually start working.
Problem number one - no internet tab in phone settings
Problem number two - the today plugin is always in the "off" state.
My thoughts on this:
These problems might be coming out of the fact that 750's don't have wi-fi which seems to be the default behaviour for the voip client.
Also, according to here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa923501.aspx
hklm\comm\rtc\ doesn't look like it has enough settings
2. On top of it all i'd like to bring g.729 codec support to the attention.
All i've been able to dig up is that you have to put the .acm file in the right place -> add some registry settings:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\CODEC_G729]
"Prefix"="ACM"
"Dll"="g729.acm"
"Order"=dword:0
"Flags"=dword:2
-> and then configure the use somewhere in \\hklm\comm\rtc\
Has anyone successfully installed and used it?
Let's bring all these things together so it all starts making sense.
Thank you for your time.
I have the same problem.
No matter what I install, the "internet" option never becomes available in the phone settings.
I believe this may have to do with "PLMOCPL.cpl" being used as the phone settings CPL instead of "cplmain.cpl" on the Palm.
I have changed a setting under "HKLM>System>State>VoIP>Phone". I changed "Network Preferences" from 0 to 1, which i think is what the control panel does anyway.
Now instead of "Internet Calling: Off", I get "Pennytel: No Service".
Anyonw else come up with anything? Any way to edit the cpl to include the internet settings?
Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum, and was wondering if anyone can help me out. I have an Acer S200 but figured that perhaps this could relate to any windows mobile 6.5 device. Basically due to restrictions at work, we need to disable internet access from our work mobile devices!
I have read various posts that state that this can be achieved by disabling wifi access by altering the registry keys, however none of the methods that i have come accross seem to apply to my Acer S200 mobile 6.5.
Sorry to be a pain, but does anyone know how i can do this?
Thanks in advance everyone.

Like it has to be unable to turn on, or off? Does the default winmo comm manager not work? If not, just try a third party one, theres plenty out there
Hi cmstackar
thanks for the reply. Yes thats right, there should not be an ability to toggle it on or off - just for the wifi to be disabled for the user. I understand that changing registry keys is only a temporary solution since hard resetting would put things back to normal, but even that's okay for the time being.
Any ideas anyone?
What third party software did you particularly have in mind?
What about your internet access from the phone network? Surely that would be the issue, not wifi which you can't use to connect to the internet unless you're near a internet accessible wireless network which you have the network key to access...
hi xaccers,
the phone doesn't have a data connection plan with it, so it would be too expensive to use for internet access i imagine.
but, likewise then, is there a way to disable both of these (wifi, data connection)?
I know this is such a strange request, but appreciate any pointers from forum members.
Thanks
If would be easy if you could cook your own ROM, but if the user is willing to do a hard reset, there is nothing you could do to a factory ROM to prevent it from coming back after a hard reset.
hi trueg
that is true. However, I am a complete newby to cooking ROMS etc, and also if the user did hard reset the device, it would need to be taken back to technical department to have software reinstalled, etc. So the temporary changes could be reintroduced again.
So, given the above, do you you know how to temporary disable wifi/data connection? I have read others state that this can be achieved by altering registry keys - but the ones that are referred to are not present on my acer.
any expert willing to depart a little advice my way?
So your Acer phone has a wifi thats always on? I never encountered such a device but nonetheless if your wifi network at work is secured then your phone won't be able to connect to the wifi router hence won't get any internet connection.
hiya,
The users can use the devices in public wifi areas. But also, now that i've been trying to do this for ages, i really would just like to know how to fiddle with the registry keys. its kind of bugging me that I haven't managed to figure this out...
will I really need to learn how to cook my own ROM? (I'm not sure I want to take the risk :S)
I'm sure there is a really easy way to disable wifi/data connection (even if temporarily upon hard resetting) that the more experience members can help with... Please
thanks for all the input so far guys.

OK, so you want to prevent users from accessing the Wireless Manager, or do you want WiFi to not work?
How smart are the users that you are dealing with?
You can easily hide the Wireless Manager from the Control Panel and you could possibly overwrite wrlsmgr.exe with a dummy file, but preventing access to the Wireless Manager would mean they couldn't put the phone in aeroplane mode.
There should be several ways to change the registry to prevent WiFi from working at all.
I like to use FdcSoft Task Manager v3.1 to edit my registry.
Hi Alan, You can try cooking a ROM..it's not so difficult unlock your device go to XDA WIki find your phone then check step by step the procedure, connect Acer to the PC download the ROM you think is better for you, copy it to desktop, then to your device. That's it
Thanks trueg,
you say there should be several ways of changing the registry to prevent wifi from working at all. Would you be kind enough to let me know how? sorry - complete newbie here.
francomur99: thanks for pointing that out buddie. I'll look into that too...
OK, well do you have the following key in your device?
HKLM\System\State\Hardware
WiFi = dword:00000001
Changing this to 0 removes the WiFi option from the default Windows Wireless Manager.
Does your device use the default Wireless Manager or do you have a 3rd party Manager?
Update: Hmm, that only works until you soft reset and if you have a separate WiFi manager, it can still turn it on. Well I can make you an application that will set this back to 0 after every soft reset and you can hide any WiFi managers from the control panel, but they will still exist in the \Windows directory.
The best way may be to create invalid entires for the WiFi driver. Do you have this entry in your registry?
HKLM\Software\Drivers\WLAN
AdapterName = ....

Hi Trueg,
Thanks for the tip. Yes, you're advice has removed the WLAN display from the comm manager. However, I do not have the HKLM\Software\Drivers|WLAN entry.
Infact, under HKLM\Software, there is no Driver folder. There is a HKLM\Driver folder however this doesn't contain a WLAN subdirectory.
Any ideas?
Schaps Advanced Config allows you to edit the com manager. You could easily remove the wifi toggle from there, but it would still be fairly easy to work around if you wanted to turn the wifi on. Maybe someone else could tell you how to remove it from the settings menu.
Sorry alan303487, what is your status with this?
hi trueg
I haven't been able to move forward with this since the post on 16th April 2010 11:01.
i.e. the wifi connectino from the comm manager isn't showing, but I can still connect via windows menus.
would still appreciate any advice - so far, it seems that cooking my own ROM is the only other method thats been suggested.
still would appreciate your help trueg. Any ideas?
thanks mate.
OK, well how would you like to proceed? Would you like to try and hide all of the options that will allow WiFi to be turned back on, or disable WiFi permanently?
Also, what do you have listed under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\?
Example: the WiFi driver on my HTC Touch Pro is
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\TNETW1251]
hi trueg,
thanks for helping..
well, either of the options would do - depends on the complexity of the method involved.
regarding what listed under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\
there are many subfolders - below is a selection.
