Bluetooth status indicators and WIFI Toggle

Hi all,
I often have seen in this forum screenshots of two things I cannot find for the life of me:
1.- A little headset icon by the Start button (I assume that one comes on when your BT headset is paired and active),
2.- And a Wi-Fi toggle app (I have tried VJVolubilis, but it doesn't work on a Wizard yet)
Any help and pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Any takers? Please?

try vijay555's website http://www.vijay555.com/
He as done some great work!

VJVolubilis works on my wizard but you have to turn it on once first through the comm manager. Then it turns it on and off fine after that.

holmanm: thanks for that. I didn't know it did even that much
Unfortunately, until I get a Wizard to play with, any non HTC Universal support is purely hypothetical (ie crap).

The only issue i've had with VJVolubilis is the toggle wifi, you can get round this by putting two icons on the task bar for on and off, and assigning both function to the voice recording button (it has press and hold functions).
As for the bt icon I've not seen it on my wizard I used to see it on my magician, but it only appears in the phone app on the wizard, if you find out how to make it appear let us know!

Still no workie for me :-( It doesn't give an error if I turn WIFI on first, but it doesn't do anything either.
Many thanks to all responders, and more suggestions are of course very welcome!

This is exactly what I am looking for (As far as the BT headset icon):

Is this icon part of phoneAlarm, or Vijay's skin?

That icon comes up for me when my A2DP headset is paired... in other words I don't think what you've seen is any sort of addon, just the default behavior in AKU2 when an A2DP device is connected.

I only use a mono BT headset... does this mean I am SOL?

Yom: the bluetooth headset icon - I can't remember where I got it from, I think I made that one myself... The rest are basically stock icons screengrabbed or ripped from the OS dlls, although I used artistic license to "improve" them slightly.
All the icons are available but jumbled higgledy piggledy in my PhoneAlarm skin here (near the end of the first, loooong post):

HTC Home - Sound: Automatic?

Ok... I have an AT&T tilt that I flashed with the default HTC rom. I'm using the HTC home screen and need to know what a button does.
What exactly does the Sound: Automatic button do?

basically automatic is with your calender.
I believe if you create a schedule and set it to busy / out of office or something of that sort, it will automatically switch the phone to vibrate/ silent. and once th e session is over, it will switch it back to the original status

Hmmm... ok. Thanks. I was actually hoping that it would automatically silence alarms at night or something.
Since this isn't what it does, can anyone tell me if there is some software that I can set the alarms off at night with? I hate going through menuhell to change the settings every night.

Well, you can always make an appointment with bed

Menu hell?
Automatic doesn't appear to work for me which is too bad since SPB Phone had this feature that I thought was fantastic.
Don't know of a program to do what you want but two buttons to the left is the silence button. Menu hell? Just a thought...

You could try phoneAlarm (http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html) it can do a lot of things!

this feature is kinda gay...
This feature is def kinda gay. I was hoping that i could switch from my custom ringtones with this to my work ringtone, that overrides everything. This would leave for a set of default sounds, sliding/ringtone for business, and custom for play.... lame..

what if you go into a meeting and forget to put your phone on silent? well if your meeting is marked in your calendar and you have your phone on automatic then it switches for you

I have personally observed this feature causing my phone to engage in homosexual activities with other HTC devices.

this feature does seem useful in theory but in practical instances, it is a bit risky to use in my opinion.

I'm going to set my work schedule in my calender just for this. Thanks for the clarification. My Kaiser is bi methinks.

Sorry to bump a old thread..figure better than starting a new one.
This is kind of related to the HTC home..
I noticed my "tapping sound" has been disabled ever since installing the HTC home cab. I've tried to re-enable the tap sound via the settings..it shows enabled but still no sound? Is this normal...or did I do something wrong?
And is the alarm function always this slow? It seems to take forever to repeat...actually sounds kind of weak? I've used different phones but this HTC seems to be pretty retarded when it comes to the basic functions.
Thanks.

Kaiser Options

Hey fellow Kaiser users,
I'm currently using the Tilt, with Dutty's touchflo rom. I have a few things that I was wondering whether or not can be done within the device. Can these be done? If so, how?
1. Setting TCPMP as default player within the HTC Home Plugin to be able to control the next and previous options from the home screen (assuming just using it for audio purposes) or use a skin on top of TCPMP that looks similar to that of HTC Audio Manager
2. Set S2U2 to startup with device so that you don't have to select it in order for it to run. If this is not possible, is there a way to change the items included in the quick launcher, so that S2U2 or some other program can replace some items included in the launcher?
That's all I can come up with right now, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Oh and by the way, Dutty, your custom ROM is awesome, glad I found it.

I can't help you with TCPMP but if you use a program like Battery status it will give you the ability to set up a tray launcher which will allow you to set up s2u2 there which is what I do along with some other apps. Heres a picture of it in the middle it gives you meters you can set up at the bottom is the tray launch.

}

For tcpmp, to set it as default, go to options>settings> slect page>file association> check all that you need. Exit the program. Reset the device. and you should be good to go.

I've set all the file associations within TCPMP, but this doesn't set it within the HTC Homepage Plugin and allow you to control it from the homepage. If I could get this to work, it would be awesome, but it may not be possible. If that's the case I guess I'll just have to use TCPMP's not-very-aesthetically pleasing interface. . But I can deal with it, it works, so I guess that's good enough.

The HTC Home plugin only works with Windows Media Player or HTC Audio Manager.
S2U2 loads up fine for me after a soft reset. It can be selected to be used in the Home Plugin in the normal way or assigned to a hardware button or soft key.

For some reason mine doesn't automatically load after a soft reset, I have to either launch the configuration tool or the application itself in order to use it. Does anyone happen to know if there is a way to, or exist a theme similar to the appearance of the HTC Audio Manager?
Thanks for all your help everyone!

You should be able to set it to come on by defult with "S2U2 Setting" (most likely found in your "system Tools" folder). Make sure you have the faollowing set to ON:
-Start on wake up
-Start on backlit off
then click:
-Save
-Yes
That should do it.

Switching tasks by hardware (?)

Hi
Is there a task switcher software that allows to switch tasks by pressing a hardware key. I mean, that allows to map a hardware key so you can for example switch among taks by just pressing let's say the OK key?
I wonder if there is some solution so I don't have to go back all the time to the TODAY screem to the task drop down thing to switch programs, or that I dont have to open the SPB Mobile Shell task thing to do that.
Maybe is there also a task switcher software that could remain an icon on top of every application so it could be accessed quick as another quick solution to switch?
Thanks in advance for any help!

i use this little app for this. as usual, i don't know where i found it, so i'll just attach it here.
extract exe file to your device, create shortcut in start menu and then assign it to some hardware key

Hi antihrist
Thanks a lot for AltTab! I installed it already and its working nicely. It is great and light app. I also got info about VITO TaskSwitcher, wich comes included with VITO Buttonmapper installation. I'm testing it too and it looks good. Also a great sollution, and nice look, though not light as AltTap. So great I can switch now, it's time saving and so much confortable!
Again thanks for your help!

Try also the one attached here....

WkTask is the best task manager hands down... Launcher and other goods make it even better.

If you have Spb Pocket Plus, it also lets you assign a button to open task manager (the Spb TM). Then just tap on the app you want and bring it up. More steps then the AltTab app, but if you like to have many apps open, I find it better then cycling through them all.

I use pBar, lightweight easy to access from task bar and has lots of other useable goodies. And free

I want to know
How do it change function of left "OK" button?

Dynamo needs some developement as it's a bit thirsty but it's already my choice. Can be mapped to any button.
Check this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=367399&highlight=dynamo

Thanks to all!
Faviopac, thanks for the .cab file, I'll try WkTaskL too.
Guys, thanks a lot to all! Seems that I have now material to study and choose from. It's a fact that i did not know about aplications like this, till I felt the need and miss it and asked here. I got this HTC TyTN II since some months ago and was focused in other learnings since then and enjoying it. But was starting to miss this switching stuff, they are most have!
denco7, I'll have a look to pBar, thanks for the link! And, branball, will give a try to Dynamo, thanks! I'm glad I have more than I needed now, just have to choose... For the moment I definitely think that I'll go for the apps that display a list of open tasks where you can choose to bring it up, like the one gwnorth was telling about. I'm testing now, of that kind, TaskSwitcher 2.0 wich I found also as independent app (separated of Vito buttonmapper), it brings up also a list of open taks to choose from. I also will try the ones you posted here, wich I super appreciate.
Question appart: I am using Spb mobile shell, wich I find great and better everyday, what's the difference or adventage (if any) of Spb Pocket Plus vs Mobile shell, they are for similar uses at the end (?) I havent test Pocket plus...yet.

Timed profile!

Hi,
Is there a way or a program to have timed profile? Meaning; profile changes to vibrate, silent or normal on times specifed!
For instance, I put my phone on silent at 11 evening and would be nice to have a program or something timed to switch to normal again at 7 in the morning
Is there anything like that?

spb phone suite should do the trick
Funny thing is that I have just thought about re-installing this application onto my Diamond for the same reason. It allows a very granular control over automatic profile, with the ability to link diary entries, hardware conditions, connectivity conditions & also time of day to ensure the best profile for every moment (dam, i sound like a marketing blurb)...........
Anyone else installed this on a Diamond, I can't see any reason it wouldn't work ok?
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/phonesuite/?en
PS - It's not a free application, but at 19.95 it's not too bad.

You could just set an appointment at 11 pm - 7 am and repeat daily in outlook and set the status to busy. Your diamond should then auto go into silent, although I haven't checked, it does work on other win mobs.

yes but how about if I need it to be set to vibrate and not silent??

good question, on my old device i could edit the profiles. no idea how to do that on diamond.

Try WirelessTime. It's free and can also control your Bluetooth and Wireless connection. You can use English or French and per day and/or all.

Another vote here for SPB Phone Suite.
I'm using it on my Diamond and the timed profiles are effortless. Profiles can also be set to control bluetooth, wifi and phone on/off, along with call filtering and repeating notifications for texts, emails & missed calls.

From TF3D Home|Settings|Sound| check "Automatic Set to vibrate during appointments"

try phonealarm ?
Another way is to use something like PhoneAlarm, you can have "profiles" set up so when you activate say "home" profile with either time/location/manual it can switch on/off/change any sounds/alerts/wifi/bt etc ans also "run" any program as well.
I personally use this as my home screen and use both timed profiles and outlook items/tasks/appointments to switch. see sreenshot
Can run any program ie switch to car, turn on bluetooth, run tomtom etc.
works for me

Yeah, Phone Alarm is good.

Using Phone alarm and other software, that mean you need to give up TF3D. But I still like the TF3D interface.
Like TF3D, but hate it because not easy to customize

Tha latest version of Phone Alarm allows you to switch between manila and your default today.

looks promising
I downloaded trail version of spb phone suite, it looks promising where you can specify from what time to what time you want to switch to another profile! Looks nice but I have to see if it works actually and post back again

Also available is sbsh phoneweaver
http://www.sbsh.net/products/windows_mobile_pocket_pc/phoneweaver
or try mortscript, i think someone already did it

Phoneweaver user
Phoneweaver does the trick for me, I have set the Day profile from 7am till 10pm then it automatically switches to Night - set only to vibrate, until 7am the next day. You can have a lot more in depth settings if you want, but that is enough for my needs. You can also have a Car profile or any other profile you want to create. It switches Data connections on and off and also Push email.

Phoneweaver is good
I have downloaded both SPB Phone Suite and Phoneweaver trial version. First I started with SPB Phone Suite which also has Time based profiles but didn't work actually. I specified a time for a profile but was never activated on that time.
The Suite has some other nice features such as adding photos to call history and reminder interval based on sms and missed calls. It could be good peice of program is the timed profile feature work.
Then I downloaded Phoneweaver and the timed profile works just fine so i will keep that.
Thanks for the help
