Hi All,
Is it possible to disable the green light blinking in VOX.
Initially i thought it was for network...then later found that even blinks on offline profile also.
If it can be disabled..i can save some precious battery life..
Hi naidu001,
you can use DontForget utility.
DontForget does not work properly on the Vox for disabling the LED. Unfortunately there is no current way to disable it, even by removing the LED driver keys in the registry.
I use RadioLED, it's not that convenient cause it stays in the memory all the time, but it's the only thing that works for me.
Hm. I didn't realize there was an application that worked for this on the Vox. Do you have a link or can post the file perhaps?
EDIT: Found it. It still does not seem to disable the GSM LED for me.
EDIT AGAIN: It will disable the GSM LED while the application is running and it works to flash LED every 5 seconds when an SMS is waiting! It works! I might disassemble it and find out what it's hooking to and see if it can be done in MortScript. For now I'm using a .lnk that runs load.exe and starts RadioLED at startup.

seems u know how to handle it hehe, could you make a similar program using mortscript? i would really like that!

I will look into it. Running it as a bgprocess takes up roughly 600KB of RAM. Not bad, but not so great. MortScript would chop it down to only 30-40KB.
I think it works by hooking API and interrupting the LED driver and then allowing it to pass after reading a registry key to check for any unread SMS. If there was a way to dump RAM in realtime this would be so easy.
...dont understand it but i sounds great! think u can make it work?
After looking at a short snippet code dump from RadioLED.exe, it uses standard nLED API which is not really possible with MortScript. I have attempted to use some of the nLED controlling applications made, but none of them yield any results so far. I will keep working.
EDIT: Okay, I have included RadioLED and radiodump which is a strings dump of the PE. It should include any required API calls, however, http://blog.csdn.net/hesicong/archive/2005/08/02/444156.aspx and http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/led.html give clear and concise .NET and C examples of controlling the LED. The ALLLEDMGR driver is not used on our S710's - so NueLED from no2chem does not work and neither do most other applications currently available.
Perhaps it's time for me to dust off the Visual Studio CD and whip some **** up for you guys.
Alright. VS2008 installed. I will be slowly working on making an application to control all of the LED's on our Vox. I am borrowing a laptop and will be working on it while I have the laptop once a week. Will update when I have working code!

Not trying to hassle anyone but has any progress been made on this?
Patiently waiting...!!
Yeah...Patiently waiting...!!
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.

Yah I've been looking all over the registry, I have no clue even where to start though honestly, any settings I change are 100% pure guesswork which makes me a bit nervous about trying

For what exactly? as i said this does not appear to be related to any today screen plugins
go to start\settings\connections\bluetooth
under bluetooth go to timeout tab
you'll see "Turn off Visible mode:"
select "after 1 minute" in the dropdown menu.
wait for 1 minute & the flashing is gone in the tray.
hope this help.

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?

if you have paired devices no need to have the discover me on, this is only use when you want new devices to see you . . .
I'm looking for a simple EXE that will toggle my GPS receiver on my Vogue on and off. So far all I've managed to find is a Today plugin. Works great, but I'd really like something I could map to a button via UltimateLaunch or rlToday.
Is there any such thing? Would anyone be willing to make it?

weird.. your GPS is active all the time? even when there's nothing to trigger it?

No, I'm just looking for an app I can map to a button to turn it on, or if it's on, then turn it off. It doesn't need to do anything more than that.

the accelerometer seems to cause more issues than do good.. how can i turn it off? i have energyrom 3.0
bump.........
i looked in tweaks.. only allows me to change the polling, dosnt let me turn it off.. help please!
hello??....
is this not possible?
Yes it is possible.
You need turn off Smarttouch service.

nope dosnt work, set entry to decimal and put 999999 closed and did not do anything inside or outside Opera... what im talking about is a global fix.. not for certain apps as what it appears you linked me to.
bump for fix
AFAIK by default the accelerometer is only working in the HTC Album and Opera Mobile. How is this causing you any issues? Could it be possible that you have some g-sensor program start the support when the device starts?

hmm thats strange, its happening in every program and causing some to crash.. maybe its the ROM i have.. ill try upgrading this weekend.
This is usually not a "ROM problem" specifically.
But your installed rom may include some software that uses the g-sensor to make your screen rotate. Changescreen, gyrator or g-sen are some examples of such software.
This is what you have to tweak so that all apps do not rotate automatically.
But you definitely can't "turn off the g-sensor".... just add crashing apps to the rotating software black list.
Hi there,
As you might have read on the PX5 board threads, I was struggling with the ease of use of the stock FM Radio app when driving. If you don't have to SWC you first have to press home from navigating, and open the radio app, or use the widgets, to switch channels. I didn't like that like, so I started to inspect the radio and radio widget .apk files. In there I found some pieces of code that remotely allow to control the FM Radio app.
What my app does is 'listen' to the information the stock FM Radio app is outputting. It can get the current frequency and channel. It shows this information on a notification on your HU. This notification also consists of three buttons to go to the previous channel, the next channel, and turn of the radio.
The current frequency and channel are also pushed to the Android Media Session with media button support. This means other apps (like AnyAutoAudio) or widgets can display the currently playing frequency and channel. You can also control the radio with the media buttons Android support. USB keyboards or BT devices that support these buttons should work! I haven't tested it, but this also means the FM Radio can be used in Android Auto. As soon as you open another media app (like Poweramp), that app will take over the media buttons (as expected). If you want to switch back to FM just press the power button on the notification and you're back.
This app is at an early stage right now. I'd like to see it as a proof of concept. It currently only works with FM. It can't show AM information yet. I am not an Android developer, so it might contain a few bugs and glitches. Let me know if you find anything.
I made a little video a few days ago when I had my first proof of concept working. This video does not display the media button support. Watch it here: https://youtu.be/JNUAi0KNGmM
Let me know what you think! Ideas and suggestions are always welcome.
Download: https://gerbenbol.com/android/com.gerbenbol.hctradiocontroller.apk
So I gave this ago, it seems like it's nearly there for Android Auto. AnyAndroidAuto does pick it up and displays what station is on but AndroidAutos next/pause/previous buttons do not effect it. Also if I change radio station the widget in AndroidAuto does not update to reflect this. Any idea why this is?
That's too bad.
Does the info in the notification change when you switch channel? The media session which feeds info widgets etc. seem to be a bit flaky right now.
Do you have any other media widgets that show the current playing media?
edit: @Dec64, gave it a try this morning. My widgets didn't make it control, or had the latest station displayed, but the native Android media buttons worked fine. Very strange... Do you happen to know what commands AnyAndroidAuto send? It should work for the next/previous/pause buttons. I'll see if I can make some changes today.

Yeah the info in the notification changed, and worked perfectly just didn't feed that information down to AA. I had no other media widgets at that time.
No unfortunately I don't know what commands are sent. What is weirder still is this morning on my way to work, after about 20mins the HU turned off the radio and changed menus in AA to the music menu and said nothing is playing...Yet i touched nothing. I put the radio back on and after 5mins it turned back off and I was sent to the phone menu. The only thing new running was your widget, very odd, I dont know how that is even possible.

Weird! I've rewritten a load of code, and it should be more stable now. I'm testing on an Android Emulator and and simulate some information the FM Radio would send, so I hope it's better now!
You can download the .apk again from the same URL in the first post. Let me know how it works on the HU. I'm gonna test it when I get home tonight.

Sweet, ill give it ago in 30mins on the way back from work.
@Bose321 Perfect, works 100% better now, reports, shows station changes when I use SWC to do so, shows a stop button now though instead of pause/next track on the AA widget, and the stop button does nothing, but for AA integration it works
this is encouraging.

i need to turn radio on/off via tasker.. do you think there is a way to do that.. i saw you do that via your app

You can user tasker or f1x's mtcdtools to do that, there's an intent to close the radio app.
intent action: com.microntek.finish
intent parameters: {"class":"com.microntek.radio"}

Can you show the AA interface? Not sure why there only is a stop button now, and why it doesn't work. I'll have to dig around in the code to see what causes that.
edit: I think I already know why there only is a stop button right now! Gonna push out a fix tomorrow! I also think why the stop button doesn't work. I only listen to the pause/play button, not the stop button. Thanks for testing, this is useful!

I use the intent "hct.radio.power.switch" to turn the radio on or off. This is different from the intent Dec64 posted. Mine only turns off the radio, it doesn't shut down the radio app. So use what fits the most.

Can you give it another try? I've updated the link in the first post again. Should now show next/previous/play-pause buttons if I'm right!
Tried the version of yesterday in my car, and it works a lot better for sure!
Are you liking Android Auto on the HU? Is it fast? I'm hoping Sygic is able to build the navigation for AA soon, I don't like Google Maps for offline navigation. Are you always connected via your phone or something, or have you downloaded parts of maps?

I like AA on my HU because it displays the info i need quickly and at all times, but the major draw backs where the radio not showing, and the phone menu not working properly.
I dislike google maps and prefer waze for the police/speed camera warnings as i drive a bit...spirited...but waze integration isn't working yet unless you have an AA specific HU. It also doesnt display speed limits/cameras.
Yeah I have 30gb of tethering on my phone so always connected using tasker to start tethering when BT is connected

I've been looking into that, but I believe the radio app doesn't 'share' that information. But I'll have another look.
But first gotta look into the AA issue.
What I did notice on my own HU, as soon as the Radio app starts, the sound goes on, and directly off again at boot. Did any of you notice that?
