Disable GPRS balloon (bubble)

Anywone out there who knows how to disable the GPRS notification balloon so that it wont pop up everytime GPRS connects to the network?
Should be easy with a registry tweak, but i havn't found anything. All the entrys in the registry regarding to notifications seems to point to the balloons in the bottom of homescreen.

check this thread for an awesome tweaking tool for your Wizard...

Great, thanx. Allthough i need the registry settings for since we are developing a software where the Balloons aren't suppose to pop up`?

I guess you could find them in "registry tweaks.doc", that was published in that thread. Although I didn't find resgitry setting to disable that baloon .

I don't get any GPRS balloon/popup - the only way for me to know I'm on GPRS is to closely eye the connections icon and see if it's either the big G (GPRS-available) or the small G (GPRS-connected).
We could compare registry dumps or something, but let's make sure I'm not-not seeing things, first. What is a sure-fire way for you to get the GPRS balloon thingy?

I get the balloon everytime GPRS gets connected.
Its the balloon at the TOP of the display that tells you that you are connecting o GPRS.

I guess I've found. I disabled notification on connection establishing (Start/Settings/Sounds and Notifications) and now I have no balloon.
Also I've found registry setting for that:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Notificaitions\{8ddf46e7-56ed-4750-9e58-afc6ce486d03}\Options=DWORD:0

Works fine, thank you...How did you find the registry key?

ah, doesn't need a reg hack, then %) Must've disabled that a long time ago.
three ways to find a registry entry...
A. search
B.1 dump the registry
B.2 make the change
B.3 dump the registry again
B.4 compare the two dumps
C. use something like CeRegSpy to track registry accesses

Thank you for tips, I look for registry spy for a long time.

Just be sure to mail the author - you need a WM5-compatible version, and he's still working on perfecting that (the version I have works, but sometimes complains about the driver not being loaded).

Great, thanx, i´ll take a look at it.

Does any know how to disable the "Cannot Connect" balloon when a gprs session fails to connect?

After doing:
Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications Tab > Pull down menu and choose "Connection Established" > Uncheck "Display message on screen" > Press "Ok"
... I still get the "cannot connect" ballon too. Anyone know how to disable that rotten ballon?

Is this the "Holy Grail" of registry hacks?
I've been searching high and low and when anyone asks how to disable that infernal "cannot connect" ballon on many web sites, no one answers.
Could someone just tell me if it's impossible to disable or not?

Edge/3G Band Select on AT&T Tilt?

My battery life is killing me.
Can anyone tell me how to switch the bands like I used to on my 8525?
I looked under settings/phone/ - no "Band" tab
I modified the registry ShowUMTSBandPage to "1" but still nothing shows up.
Please help!!!
Thanks!

Open the file manager, switch to the Windows directory, search for the file "HSDPASwitch.exe" and run it. I hope the file is available on the Tilt.
Is this what you are looking for?

Nope. We dont have that file. Can you send us the file and see if it can work on the Tilt?

It is there, but you have to turn on "Show all files". At least on the AT&T stock firmware.

Peter - thanks for the info. It wasn't quite the file I was looking for (it does exist on the AT&T Tilt units. There's a "band" tab on the phone settings that allows you to switch between GSM & CDMA. There's a band.html in Windows directory that explains this but it doesn't seem to be available.

The file is there, but doesn't seem to work. I uncheck the enable HSDPA box, and it pops up to say I need to reset, but after a soft reset, I still have 3G.

I believe the HSDPA app is for switching between UMTS & HSDPA (which is the higher data rate).
What I'm looking for is the band tab application to select between Edge & 3G (like on the 8525).
I'm not even passed 1/2 my day and I'm already on 46% (I had it charged fully at 7am).

battery life is concerning me too - so i'm trying the Fully charge/fully deplete cycle a few times to see if i can achieve better battery performance.
if not.. time to start cutting back on the services or get a desk/car charger

You can always use a different comm manager. I use one of Shapps. Here is a black version... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1575189&postcount=131

will that comm manager work with the tilt? Isn't that comm manager for the Hermes?

been trying to figure out the band page issue myself - the registry entries form the Hernes days don't work. i believe you can manipulate the registry keys to do this but clearly not a user freinfly option.
Can someone who understands what the 3G buttons (on the Comm Mangers that have it) does behing the scenes?

I had to unassanble the program to let commmgrpro be compatible with Kaiser
It unregister, from operator and then makes a hidden and undocumented direct call to the driver to make the magic and previously does a change in registry. But the complicated things was to discover the correct params needed by the IOCTRL function
Dani

I wish I knew that as well, I would love to have a switch for 3g or nothing cause edge is brutally slow

I turned on 3g in the command center but my phone still switches between eg and edge frequently. When I turn off 3g in the command center it turns off my data all together, is this functioning properly?

his newest version works on the kaiser.

I transferred the bandswitch cab from 8525 over to my tilt and works no problem.

can you post a link so I don't have to dig through all the 8525 software?

Using Phoneweaver for profiles...need a small app/mortscript to toggle 3G on/off

I know PhoneAlarm does this, but I don't like having to install SecondToday to use it. It seems to slow my device and switching today screens takes about three seconds.
Anyway, I like Phoneweaver better because it has a popup profile switcher/commmgr menu I can assign to the PTT button. It's good, but it can't toggle 3G like PhoneAlarm. However, it can run an exe on a profile change so all I would need is a small app that can turn 3G on and off. I searched but didn't see anything that appeared to do the trick. Any ideas?

i can't believe something like this doesn't exist. a google search turned up some threads about skschema from 2006 so i guess i'll try those.
no other solution?

i found this thread which has a toggle3g mortscript. i installed it, but it doesn't work, or at least i can't get it to work. it launches to the confirmation screen. but i click OK and nothing happens.
can any of you mortscript experts help out? and, yes, i changed the vjvolubilis directory in the script from \Extended Rom\Program Files to \Program Files\
also any ideas of how to skip the confirmation screen? by the way, i tested it on my old phone, a tilt, which has a dutty rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2145594&postcount=371

If you edit the mort script you can change this:
Code:
ChoiceDefault( "Toggle 3G","Do you wish to proceed with toggling 3G?",0,10,"Cancel","OK" )
case (1)
#Message( "Cancel" )
Exit
case (2)
#Message( "OK" )
call( "setOpMode" )
case (0)
#Message( "Cancel" )
Exit
EndChoice
to something like this:
Code:
call( "setOpMode" )
That should make each run of the script toggle the 3G reg setting.

thanks. i've been tinkering with it with some help in this other thread also and the poster suggested the same change.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3024082#post3024082
but like i said in that thread, no matter what opmode is set to by the script, HSDPA remains on even though the wireless manager shows that 3G is off (but if i turn 3G off through the wireless manager it completely disables 3G and the today screen only shows an edge connection).
so the script is missing something to completely disable 3G. i just don't know what.
UPDATE: i even tried skchema scripts from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1079636&postcount=5), same results. so obviously simply changing the value of opmode doesn't completely disable 3G.
UPDATE 2: i even tried bandswitch 1.2.3, using the command line. it made the registry changes and the wireless manager showed 3g off, but the H was still on the today screen. so it's something more needed to completely disable 3G via script.

Yeah, I've been poking around with it for a few minutes and noticed there's a few additional reg keys that need to be altered in order to toggle 3G.
I added HKLM\Software\OEM\UMTS\BandSelection\Band, as that is another one that's changed via the Band settings page, but there's still more that needs to be touched.

i noticed the band selection folder, too, but i didn't notice a change. which key changed when you turned 3G off via the wireless manager?
man, it would be great if i could just command line the wireless manager.

After further testing, and using SKtracker, it would appear the changes for 3G/Auto -> GSM are more than just registry changes. Not sure what else it's doing, but modifying the reg settings and cycling the phone radio doesn't do squat. I guess that's why there's programs like Bandswitch/CMP and PhoneAlarm (full). Maybe schap knows what else is involved, as he added a 3G toggle to the 9 button CommMgr on the Kaiser.
This is what Daniel Herrero said about the 2G/3G switching:
Hi.
If you are talking about connections (close idle connections, disable them, etc) then Its win32 api standard. If you talk about switch between 2g-3g then I did reverse ingineering of htc binaries. It was easiest on HTC Hermes, Universal and Athena but in Kaiser (Tilt) It was much more dificult (Strange calls to undocumented htc methods with variable parameters). I am scared about incoming htc models....

So it would seem a simple reg change & radio cycle won't cut it.

Known bugs with the latest 6.5 rom for Wing/Herald

I decided to make this about things you cant do with 6.5 at the moment. And certain things u can do.
If u delete any of the themes that come installed with the rom, all 6.5 style menus will revert back to original 6.1 style, and the only way to get it back is Hard reset.
If you dont want any themes to install jus push the soft reset when auto config runs for the first time. thats a easy work around.
Any registry editing to the network icons will disable your internet connection. Change it back to get it back.
Any editing done to titanium like removing a plugin will remove it, and im not if its recoverable.
Battery status is not compatible with Titanium.
Any editing in HKLM/System/GWE will have unstable effects. "mostly graphics related"
Activating menu animations will work but for some reason the top text isnt visible in all the soft key menus, it will also slow 6.5 down a little. It looks nice though. And gwes.exe will eat a lot of ram!
And im not sure but increasing the threshold seems like it speeds up 6.5 up a little.
These are my personal hacks settings, on getting more ram! Ok guys here are the registry edits I've made. There the ones "I've" made. So dont do it if you need wat i deleted. So here it goes, Go to....
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/-Delete OutlookLive. -Delete PresetMsgs in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/Inbox.
Now go to, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/init/-Delete Launch91, Launch92, Launch98.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Services/-Delete OutlookEnhancement -Delete Windows Live.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft-Delete Speech, Voice Command.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/HTC/-Delete, HTCHomeplug, SlidingSound, VOICESETTING,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/GDI/GLYPHCACHE/ DWORD limit from 131072 to 8192.
Thats all i have come across so far. You can add more tweaks if you want. I thought us wing users could use something like this for info on what tweaks work and what doesnt. Ill be adding more as i play with the registry more. Theres a lot of new stuff in the registry, but its mostly graphic related.

how do you get to: HKLM/Software/OEM/TFLOSettings/EnableScrolling/Dword1 to 0

figured it out. thanx

what kind of registry editing to the network icons will disable internet connection? i dont want my phone to connect to GPRS, this happens alot bc i forget to turn on wifi and when i use my browser, the phone will connect to gprs, even though i dont have a data plan but i will get charged. currently using Ivanmmj's latest 6.5 ROM, if someone could help me out that'll be great. thanks

Just remove the APN's. (Go to your settings, connections and remove all the connection settings. That way the phone won't know how to do anything.)

thanks but unfortunately removing those setting disables the phones abilities to send/receive MMS. thanks anyways tho. cant wait for your next build of 6.5, current one uses too much memory so im using juststable micro ROM. Awesome work

Don't remove the MMS APN, just the data APN. Then make sure you don't check "connects to the internet" in the last tab of the APN settings.
Yea, unfortunately, 6.5 is meant for devices with a lot more RAM than our devices have. There might not be a fix for that. :-/

I am having a slightly different problem...I think anyway...with the today screen. Is the default justhome 6.5 today screen considered titanium, or is it something else? I tried to remove and add a couple panels using the chome configurator, which had no effect whatsoever.
If i go into the registry and just delete the panels that i don't want is it going to disable the panels entirely, as mentioned in the first post, or should i be able to get away with that. I really don't want to have to hard reset again.
I already tried installing the "WM7_titanium project" cab with pretty much the same lack of results as the default skin and had to hard reset just to get it back to normal.

I've gotten BatteryStatus to work with my 6.5 flashed Wing.
It seems to install no problem, but then if you try to run the program, it glitches (at least, that's what I was running into).
What you need to do is go to settings>Today>Items, disable 'Windows Default", and enable "Battery Status". This will drop the typical 6.5 interface and your screen will JUST have the little battery status bar.
Then go back into programs>battery status (it should work this time) and make whatever changes you wish. Then reverse the above re: the today screen, and you should be in good shape.
At your own risk, as always.

Fido network connection Help

I'm extremely confused about setting up the ISP and MMS on my Tilt with Fido- I have all their information but i still dont receive MMSs also the connection wizard doesn't have fido as an option. Can anyone help out or direct me to a thread with more information (i did a search in here)

Hi there....
I use a carrier other than AT&T on my tilt as well.. I got MMS to work, but it took a little tinkering.. I am assuming you already have the "regular" internet working... Assuming you do, this is what I did..
Delete every AT&T internet setting you can find.. lol.... Then in the TXT messaging screen, hit MENU, then MMS Options, Then goto the SERVERS tab.. delete anything that is already in there... set up a new one.. on mine I just needed the web address ( mine was 192.168.254.251 ) Port 9201 ... and then HTTP://www.einsteinmms.com/+1XXXXXXXXXX (X's are my phone # ) and I left everything else blank.. and it worked... I would get the simmilar settings for your carrier and try... I am usign the stock WM 6.0 rom (Don't laugh... It is customized with all the software I like and works perfect for what I need it to do).. LEt me know if this helps..
