Can you easily turn the wifi, 3G, and GPRS radios on/off on the Kaiser or do you have to install a special program to be able to do that? Are there any good comm manager programs out there?
I have one from t-mobile uk and the comm manager that is installed on mine gives you
Flight Mode
Ability to switch phone off and on (without using flight mode)
Bluetooth
Wlan
Microsoft Direct Push
Data Connection
Ringer
Internet Sharing
and ActiveSync
all these can be switched on or off within the comm manager that comes bundled with it.
The gprs can be switched of simply by clicking the icon and it will give you an option to turn it off
Hope this helps
The Kaiser has a commanager, there just isn't a dedicated button for it like there is on other devices. You have to go in to programs in the start menu and click on Comm Manager to activate it.
As you get comfortable with installing cabs and editing the registry, you can get a different comm manager. I use Schen's 10 button comm manager which does have seperate 3G and connection break buttons. Read and learn, this site is the best!

Can someone attach this or point me in the direction to the download?
Or anything like this would be great! (Preferably with these buttons)
I think that is also called "duttythroy 3g comm manager (working).cab"?! cos this is what I installed on my TyTN and the comm mgr looks the same.
I also think that CAB is available via this forum.
Comm Manager
I installed this and now my comm manager is comletley screwed it only shows 1 icon the active sync icon I uninstalled it and it was stil lthe same it even screwed up the HTC home ! Anyone got any suggestions on how to fix this ?
Try Schap's Advanced Configuration tool. Allows you to control the buttons on your Comm Manager. Available here via search.
Same Issue When using Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool... if any button is increased it only shows one button (ACTIVE SYNC) Button
Try going into task manager & stopping the comm manager first. Make sur it's not running as a process.
Then try this: http://rapidshare.com/files/42771601/JUVS_HTC_CommManager_Kaizer_Fix.cab (Standard)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=44284&d=1184759208 (+3G Button)
After installing, but before launching it, Use the Configuration tool to make sure it shows everything, then reset & launch the comm manager.
Did you guys soft reset... that's probably the problem. If you guys did, then I advise uninstalling the Comm manager, soft reset, then installing it, then soft reset again.
BTW, that's the best comm manager I have ever used, it still lets you use the Wifi turn on and off button ony our keyboard.
I use this version of Schen's 10 button manager on my Kaiser. There is one reg setting needed to fix the wi-fi power key;
Fix WLAN Key function in Comm Manager
You can fix wifi with this registry setting :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE\HTC\CommManager\WLAN
[Default]=”\Windows\WLanMgr.exe"
[DeviceName]="{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\TNETW12511"

Which one?
I've just tried this, and I get the new 3G button appearing in the comms panel (with the word 3G underneath, but no icon showing) but it doesn't seem to do anything - should it? I'm running the stock T-mobile Vario III ROM at present.
Oh, and talking of that Wi-Fi on/off function on the keyboard, does anyone know if that, and the 'open folder' key (Fn+RightArrow), can be reassigned? The Wi-Fi one might be handier to use as a Bluetooth on/off function for me, and the 'open folder' key calls File Explorer by default but I'd prefer it to call Total Commander if possible.

Comm Manager 10 - 3G issue/question
I loaded this version, fixed the WiFi registry entry and all worked. After turning off 3G, my phone still functioned. After turning ON 3G, my phone failed to connect and showed no service (due to the fact that I am out of a 3G zone). It appears that this forces 3G mode when it should force AUTO imho. A load of a Version 2.4.3 Band Switch allowed Auto to be re-enabled. See latest Band Switch posts at http://www.ipmart-forum.com/

I do see the same thing with the 3G switch, it's 3G or nothing where it should be "Auto". I too added "Bandswitch" 2.4.3, now a commercial app, and find it good as a enhanced comm manager.

Friends,
I looked around on the pocket pc (tilt) and didn't see applications that woud launch independent from using Com Mgr.
Bluetooth,GPS, WiFi, Phone - toggle on/off
Changing my phone to look like the iPhone and comm mgr is a eye sore.
Any ideas?

I use Chi-Tai's battery status (http://www.chi-tai.info/) which gives you the option for tray icons where you can access phone, BT, WiFi without going through the comm mgr.
i didn't see options to separate functions for bt, wifi, for programs to bring into iFonz.
might have to find separate apps for these.
any other ideas?
tvos
That doesn't do it for you???
what I have been working on is converting my ppc tilt to the iphone theme.
i completely removed the today screen, top/bottom bars and strictly use iFonz for my launcher.
each icon in iFonz will execute separate function like bt on/off, wifi on/off etc.
if you have any other ideas, please advise. all i saw was this app was a today plugin, or a bottom tray for the today screen.
thank you,
tvos
i actually found two apps that are .exe which allows to toggle on/off wifi, bluetooth w/o needing com mgr.
thank you,

I didn't use a button for phone since the button is a hardkey. But all little apps work nice.

Handles Bluetooth, Audio Gateways, WiFi, InfraRed, Radio (your phone), and GPRS. You've already found apps, though, but this is an alternative (keep that GPS switcher, though)
thanx for the info. so far I really like the BT and how it shows the BT ICON check for on/off. I emailed the programmer asking if they could make one for wifi and phone too..

i am looking for a application or a tweak so that i can turn off the 3g service when i am not browsing the internet
do let me know if anyone can help
Most comm managers on the newer roms have a switch for 3g. I think there are a few comm managers in .cab format floating around as well. Check the dowload links in the wiki.
yea kaiser software forum...diamond comm manager does the trick and its new..toggles everything
Search for 'kaiser tweak' or 'advanced config' one of these allows you to disable 3g or HSDPA via comm manager, the other lets you set a timeout so it will discon when idle.
Handy for me as I have direct push via GPRS which saves battery and when I want to use the net, one click and I can activate 3g or HSDPA for browsing.
Good morning. I've read many threads on PTT but things changed in 6.1 and would like to know the following. I’m new to this. I’ve been waiting for the PTT config that is in 6.1 but it allows you to change PTT to everything except what I want. I would like to have the PTT turn on wifi with one push and turn it off with push and hold.
I know there are reg edits for 6.0 but now in 6.1 button six shows up in (buttons and assign program). Is there a list of available programs to assign buttons to in the registry? If so would it now be easier to replace a link in the registry for one of the programs I wouldn't use with the link to turn on wifi found in wireless manager?
I’ve loaded PHM and was wondering if any of the registry editors work from the pc with the phone attached? Can you export the phone’s registry to a file, work on it on your pc and then import or restore it back to the phone. My eyes are getting sore.
Thanks
Frank
Try a pm to hang.tuah, http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=273310. He has it in his ROMeOS ROM. He is also very helpful and kind.
thank you for the link
I sent him my issue and await a response.
This may help
I found a way to get closer to using the PTT button to activate wifi. In 6.1 you’re given the option to assign programs to button 6, the PTT button. Unfortunately Comm. Manager and turn on wifi aren’t options that you can choose.
By messing around I discovered that you can use file explorer and scroll down in Windows until you see the comm. Manager icon. Copy this and go back up to file start menu. Paste Comm. Manager into the start menu. Comm Manager will now show up on the today screen. You can then go to settings, buttons and Comm Manager will now be an available option. You can now also use voice command (start Comm. Manager) While it doesn’t turn on wifi it does allow you to hit the old PTT button and then hit the wheel or ok, or use the voice command.
I used it once, but I reset my machine recently and can't find the post for doing that now.
Thanks in advance.
I used the Diamond Advanced Config program from this forum
Under Menu, more settings, comm manager
I find my signal is improved with 3g turned off
