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!

Hope there wil be one soon
Yeah, as per the thread I started on a similar subject, I want to do this stuff but like others, Phonealarm is a little bit OTT for what I need, and g-profile just simply doesn't seem to work for some reason.
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?
Bump,
wow this topic goes down fast.
hope someone will pick this up, it's a really good idea
and so simple.... it seems.
I really would like to have it too. I even provided the raw material with the working other programs, now all we need is a Winmo magician who can extract the needed elements, and brew it into a working cab...

On the profiles tab hit options an use the top function(automatically change) to ad the toggle on power state.
Ok, one last try.
Isn't there anyone who can help us.
I do use phonealarm right now but i think it drains my battery fast.
How about this guys?

Hi, i'm hoping someone has managed to do this:
I have a fantastic little app that will toggle on/off my bluetooth connection that I have assigned to the side 'media' button. Unfortunately, it does not retain the 'make this device discoverable to other devices' option. I need to this to allow my car to connect automatically to my Treo.
I would love a solution that allows me to press a button and it turns on the bluetooth in discoverable mode. Has anyone managed to do this??
I've tried AE button with same results.
Will be very grateful for any help!
Thanks,
Sham
The program Phonealarm handles that quite nicely, although it is a bit overkill if that's all you need and might be more expensive than you're looking to pay for.
phone alarm is awsome does all the things you need at a great price and good support
imo the must have no1 app
that one piece of software that worth Its weight in gold! Thanks for pointing it out.
I Love this forum!
Many thanks
Sham
Glad to hear that it helped For me, one of the greatest values of Phonealarm is the developers interaction with the customers. If you go to the forums, you WILL find your answer, or the developer WILL fix your problem. I wish all of my software had that kind of support.

Thanks a lot RPG0. Unfortunately that software only works on WM5. Also, that's just one of the features of the software - I was actually hoping to have an EXE or something to toggle speakerphone on/off, or figure out how to do that. Thanks again though.
Hmm, I know you can put a button on the today screen with PhoneAlarm for that.
Did you try it? I think it says WM5 only as is WM5 or newer. The system didn't change so much from WM5 to WM6... And it does give you a link (i was using it for callhistory)... Just try it.
One of the built-in settings in AE Button Plus allows you to map that functionality to any button you want.
There's a new version of VJVolubilis lying on my harddrive somewhere that does this (written literally years ago!), but for now, go with AEButtonPlus.

Thanks guys! That worked great. One last question - what about disabling the phone's external speaker altogether?
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.

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!

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:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Suspend\{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}
-change (Default) DWORD Dec to 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Resuming\{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}
-change (Default) DWORD Dec to 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Unattended\{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}
-change (Default) DWORD Dec to 1
If you need to change it back, the default entry for all of them (at least on my Cruise) was set to 4

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.
I was looking for a way to do it via a registry edit, and found it thanks to another poster here -- if anyone is looking to do the same it's a couple posts back, or click here.

I'm trying this program out to get my phone profiles to change automatically (silent for work and wifi/bluetooth on at other times like when plugged in etc).
I have set up details for auto switching but the behaviour now of the profiles is a bit weird at times.
When I have an automatic switchover for instance from Home to Work (silent) profiles, I'm not certain if it's actually doing it or not.
What happened this morning for instance was that I got to work at 8.40 and checked my phone and it still had the speaker icon showing normally in the taskbar as if it was still set to 100% volume, BUT, when I pressed the volume rocker to set it silent, I found the volume bar was already fully down, suggesting it had actually changed the volume setting as required and presumably switched the profile, but simply not refreshed the speaker icon on the taskbar to show that the phone was now set as silent or vibrate.
Hope that makes sense!
On top of that, whilst it seems to work well to switch both wifi and bluetooth on when required, it doesn't always seem to turn wifi off again when it should. I'm fairly sure it's not just a case of profile settings causing it just to remain on because the profile it's gone back to still uses wifi after an auto switch.
Would love to keep this program but only if I have total confidence that my phone is not going to ring when it's meant to be silent etc, and it's a little misleading at the moment with the impression it sometimes gives about whether the phone is actually silent or not.
Anyone else have these issues, and any way I can correct this?
Cheers!
if you've gone in to setting-->profiles --> and click option --> automatic switching
then you are doing it right
also realise there are option for switch on/off bluetooth/wifi/radio etc when setting up your profile
also if you can't see the PhoneAlarm taskbar on your front screen, then that would mean its not install properly and therefore not working, hope that helps
have you been to the forums @ pocketmax.net? there is tons of information there, and plenty of help for questions such as this.
I have been using phoneAlarm with no problems whatsoever for years now...
oh, and by the way, your signature does not reflect what ROM you are using -- I have noticed on the more recent Energy ROMs of mine that the taskbar is sometimes "slow" to refresh. for instance, when unplugging usb/charger the battery icon does not change from the 'lightning bolt' back to percentage until a minute or so... (this could possibly be related to volume icon as well)
Thanks for the replies
No I've not looked on their forum I must admit. Will be worth checking out though.
I'm very interested in the comments about this slow refresh with the taskbar though as I think that must be the problem.
I had noticed the same thing with the charging 'lightning'' icon but had forgotten until you mentioned it.
I've added my rom info in signature - thanks for pointing that out.
Is there any cure for this behaviour with the taskbar other than swapping Roms?
I'm quite happy really with this one, unless someone wants to recommend a rom that's radically better and doesn't have this particular issue?
Plus the fact I could potentially go through loads of other roms til this is solved, or just be trading this bug for another one.
Would love to solve it though. This app is growing on me but if I have to double check each time it swaps a profile to make sure it's done it then it defeats the purpose of having it.
I realise at least that this may not actually be the fault of the app itself though.
