Hi,
Is there a way to turn bluetooth and wlan on instantly from the home screen?
Now you have to bring up the comm manager everytime. is there a way to put it straight on the home screen?
thanks
There are apps that add that ability. Mortscript would be one, though you'll have to write the script. SPB Phone Suite can do this (and more) for the cost of the software.
Or use AEB+ to map a button. I use double-tap of the Windows Button to toggle BlueTooth On/Off and tripple-tap to toggle WiFi, works great.

Is there a program that will turn Bluetooth On/Off and when On, allows it to be visible to other devices? (that is ticking both the boxes on the bluetooth settings) ??
Anyone?
been looking for something like this for ages... there are a few options, neither of which were what i really wanted....
try btIO - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284923&highlight=btIO
(issues for me : it runs in the tray with a tiny icon which is not so finger-friendly, and creating a shortcut to it with a bigger icon for the today screen just seems to launch multiples of the program rather than activating / deactivating the BT)
and there seems to be an HTC BT Today plugin somewhere...
i'm now using wisbar, and a shortcut on the screen goes to the BT settings pages. not ideal, but closest i've come to what i need...
edit -
try this, second prog down the list :

Ive just had a look at btIO, and Im og the same thought as you - not wanting it to be memory resident etc, so I tried the Smartphone version which cycles between the 3 states everytime you run it Eg Off, Connectable/Discoverable/back to off again, which is what I want, and it works on the PPC!
(actually its not 100% perfect, it goes Off/Connectable/Connectable/Discoverable/off, so you have to run it an extra time to get it to connectable, but it the best Ive seen so far.
AE Button Plus, does this easily and so much more, I have my Win button set for double tap=BT On/Off, tripple tap=WiFi On/Off.

Thanx dude....AE Button Plus is now a must have program for me This is what i call fully utilizing all the buttons on the Kaiser
Edit: Is there a way to map the button to turn on "Beam". Unless i'm expecting a file transfer, beam is normally off and would be great if i could just turn it on with two press of a button
WOW!
That really is a great little app saves so much messing around, top tip!
I am looking for a quick and simple application/script that will allow me to turn on & off 3G, but still allow EDGE/GPRS to work. I'd like something I can just assign to a hardware button or as a shortcut.
I've tried BandSwitch and looked at phonealarm and neither are what I'm looking for. I tried the 10 button commgr, and it didn't want to work for me.
Maybe you can do something with using MortScript. With MortScript you can check the presence of a connection, connect and disconnect a connection.
After creating a script you can assign it to a button or a shortcut.
Mortscript is worth investigating.
Until I get around to playing around with Mortscript this is what I did.
I created a shortcut to the Band tab in the Phone settings app. This enables me to switch between GSM/3g and power cycle the radio with a couple of screen taps. As long as the shortcut is located in /Windows/StartMenu/Programs, it will be picked up by the buton mapping app and will be available to be mapped.
On my Vario III the shortcut properties are
Code:
"ctlpnl.exe" cplmain.cpl,20,3
Is there a way to assign wifi toggle to a stock button by registry, or a simple button I can add to SPB mobile shell now screen to toggle wifi?
Yes, I searched for a while and didnt find a perfect fit...
Tried
------------------------------------------------------
AEButton Plus - slowed down phone
HButton - REALLY slowed down phone (almost unusable)
The search goes on.
Maybe WiFi Trigger is your solution? Works fine for me...
http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJVolubilis
should work a treat
Wifi trigger OR vjvolubilis might work.. Now, how to bind either of those to a button. Any registry tweaks to bind an app to a button?
Can always open the keyboard and use the WiFi shortcut there? (fn + OK)
Or, check out Raiisak's WLAN cab in this topic... (He has some really cool stuff in there)

Link to the actual toggle:

It works a treat with SPB Tools so I'd imagine it will work fine in SPB Shell too...
(Thanks again Raiisak!!)
I trigger my wifi using the press and hold send key. I use AEWifiTrigger and map the button using Shcap's tool.
Hiya,
I find it really annoying to go all the way to comm manager and switch bluetooth on when I jump in my car. (And face it, keeping bluetooth on drains battery like crazy)
I'm looking for a simple program that let's me switch between bluetooth "on" and "off" with a single touch. And it needs to be on the today screen or next to the windows/start button.
Anyone know such a program? Tnx in advance
kind regards,
Mark
I use this freeware for XPERIA here:

Works well for TouchPro.
I use bt toggle. You can put a shortcut in your start menu and you're two taps away from turning on/off bluetooth. Alternitavely, you can create a voice tag. It's a tiny program and it works great.

Haven't tried the others, but I stopped with this one. It's very cool, opens nothing and is literally one single press to turn it on.
I use SBSH PhoneWeaver, then I have big buttons for Phone, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPRS connection on/off right on the home screen (I don't use TF3D).
Found AEBPlus. It works great. Assigned pressing "hang up button" 3 times to switch bluetooth on/off. http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php And it doesn't use up that much memory.
i used to have the simple shortcuts to simple programs in my program tab
but if you download the diamond action screen it has shortcuts to texts, email, notes, tasks, wifi, bluetooth and others and its real simple i just put it as softkey on main menu

I try it is very good for every thing
Bluetooth on off
Wi Fi on of
Phone reboot , off , screen off
all buttons you have you can make it single press , double , triple , long
So you have for each button 4 function.
Thank you man for telling about this
I just have the HTC Action screen assigned to the left softkey. Pretty easy and fast
This exefile can do lot of things,mainly toggle between off/discoverable(all apps toggles only between on/off). It's enough just to write some commandline parameters into shortcut,while parameter "bsd" is for toggle off/discoverable.
Another thing I made,is the basehue changer while bluetooth is active,so while is off,all it's black,when any other state is,basehue changes to blue. It polls each second to get the state. It's a mortscript file,you can copy into the startup folder.
Enjoy.
I'm using EA Button Plus for a quick way to turn on/off Bluetooth. But this doesn't enable the Beam function. Is there a file or something that I can run with ie AE Button Plus to enable the Beam function quickly without going to the settings and then Bluetooth settings?
