it would be awesome if there was a one button switch for 3g in the home launcher, like the 3g button in the comm manager. maybe a chef or C / C++ programmer can make one?... please.
did some searching but no luck. this is what I found:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286844
bandswitch uses the registry key \\SOFTWARE\\OEM\\UMTS\\OpMode then resets the radio. don't know how this works in the comm manager, think its the same.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...5&postcount=18
this guy made a Skschema script. but I 'm looking for the ultimate launcher
that can toggle 3g or maybe we can put all the comm manager buttons in the launcher!
or maybe its possible to make a new "comm manager" tab in htc home?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280600
apparently there are more people who want this. wierd that its not been made yet...
sofar I know more people are looking for this and its possible to make a .exe button for the launcher. but. who will/can make such a button?
I think it would be a couple of hours work for a programmer (correct me if I am wrong) to:
1: change band selection to GSM or 3g in registry
2: switch flightmode ON and OFF.
so.... who wants to have the ultimate launcher?!
hmm maybe I should just post it in rom development ....

Just tested my friends Kaiser and I was hoping that one of you could help me incorporate one of the features to my phone. I've got a Herald and one thing I've noticed with the TytnII is that when you press FN+Wi-Fi on the keyboard it turns on wifi instead of opening comm manager like the phones have always done. Anyone with some spare time or knowledge care to find out where this registry setting is, or how to enable this for other pda's. It's the little convieniences such as these that make the experience of using pocketpc that much better.
cheers
Don't know, I use AE Button to map the center nav button to Press-and-hold to bring up com manager.
about 100 views I guess no one's got anything on this one. I guess I will have to get my hands on the kaiser again to figure this one out.
Thanks anyway guys...
I might add that AE Button also allows you to map any key to direct radio controls. I have a button mapped to toggle Bluetooth and WiFi radios on and off individually, without having to open comm manager. It's a very valuable PDA app.
cool, I wasn't aware of that. I guess I'll try it out.
Thanks alot
It's even cooler, I just installed the com manager from another thread here that has a 3G disable button so that you can save battery when not in need of high speed. This new com manager doesn't have the "Data" button to break the connection. AE Button allows you to map a button to "end dialup connection" which replaces that missing function.
Title says it all. I'm trying to remap the Internet Sharing button in the 9 button CommManager on the ATT Tilt. Now, it goes to their WModem app, where I'd like it to go to the Internet Sharing app.
in HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager\7, it just has a string value of "InternetSharing," so I'm not sure if this is the right place to look.

Great idea, I'd like to change mine as well.
What's up with that Wireless Modem app anyway? Is it an AT&T or HTC app?
Anyway, anyone with any info on where in the registry to put the path for a comm mgr button like this?
bump
does anyone no how to do this?
Up
What has to be done further in order to activate Internet Sharing (IS) in CommManager (CM) ?
Registry settings seem fine but when pressing the IS button, nothing happens... it just blinks.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager\10]
Default="InternetSharing"
How does the CM interface work: based on dll only ?
I find the windows mobile connection manager to be really horrible. Is there a more intuitive replacement available ? I'm not talking about the one with the HTC rom that just turns the various radios on/off.
It sure seems like there should be something with a scrollable list of connections (wifi / cellular / vpn) with a simple "connect" and "disconnect" button handy.
The way windows mobile does it just isn't intuitive at ALL.
Any thoughts on this ?
Thanks !
Couldn't agree more, speaking as someone who has just spent an entire weekend trying to get applications to work with my wifi and most of this morning trying to get my email working again (silly me, I should have "My ISP" selected).
And I never even touched the settings and Vodafone put the settings on there themselves!
There must be a better way?
I am using PhoneAlarm and the skin provides direct icons to switch On / Off the GPRS Radio the WiFi Radio and the BlueTooth. The icons also have indicator lights so that you know the status of a particular Radio
Hope this helps
couldn't agree more, is there anyway we can map one of the buttons to Comm manager? Any registry hack for that? I recently did the PTT button hack and looking to link it to Comm manager...
by default there's a button on the today screen on the kaiser right out of the box. There's a ton of hacks and ways to change it if you arent happy. It amazes me that people buy this phone and dont know how to upgrade/change things. MyFirstPhone sounds like a much better phone for some.

Either the 6 or 10 button comm manager does exactly what you describe, but don't want. If you don't like it, create your own app to do it.
Personally, I am very, very grateful for the apps and utilities that people have created on this site. My life is so much easier.
I mapped the 10 button comm manager to my PTT button, so it's one button and one click to turn on/off any radio. It is NOT going to get any easier than that.

No, it doesn't.
Show me where you can disconnect and/or connect a VPN connection in the 6 or 10 button comm manager.
Screen shots happily accepted.

Some people you can never please....
It can control all RADIOS, which is what I stated. Some people complain about having to make a couple of extra clicks. The 10 button comm manager makes my life quite a bit easier, that's why I suggested it.

heh that makes me wonder also. its not the end of the world if you have to use an extra button press but some people will do anything to save one button press or complain their phone wont do what they want
A half solution ?
Hi
You can use mortscript “connect” function to start RAS connections of your choice, not only the "default connection" selected in "Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced > Select Networks".
Leave in selected connections a dummy connection without any modem or vpn definition (like My Work Network) in both Internet profile and Private profile. In This configuration WM can’t make a connection himself (no un-wanted connection).
For disconnection I use the disconnect button in top bar connection status provide by Schap’s Advanced configuration : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317070
I write a little mortscript exemple to start RAS connections and exclude in choice list default system connection (Work, The Internet, WAP Network, etc…) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1794522&postcount=181
You can also use BaterryStatus Advanced Edition with his Phone-TrayIcon : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=270751
Sorry for my poor English.
I have read and searched but still have a problem, I am back to running the OEM ATT rom and have tried 3 different comm managers and nothing takes. They install fine but only the default remains. I have tried kaiser tweak and advanced tweak to get the band tab to show so I can disable the 3g to save battery but the change doesn't take.
Would someone be kind enough to show me the registry string to show the band tab or even have any ideas on getting a comm manager to take?
Input is appreciated.
I installed 4 different WM6 roms today, any of which would have been great but I had no sound on any of them. I have a feeling it has to do with being a kaiser or a tilt specific rom but I am unsure.
Any help on the above issue would help keep me from loosing my mind until I can get the ROM issue settled.

When I installed my new comm manager I had to unistall the default one to make the new one work.
Your sound problems seem to be due to a incompatible radio, When you flash a new rom, you have to make sure that it works with your exsisting radio or you have to also flash a new radio. Hope this helps.
Edit: Make suer that the new comm manager has a 3G switch on it. not all of them have this feature.
OK, now the question how do I uninstall the default comm manager? it isn't in the remove programs so is it a manual remove? If so could you point me to a thread I might have missed on this. Thank you

or you can keep the same comm manager and install schapps advancedconfig
I've attached it below. Once you install it find where it installed too mostly likely in programs but it depends on the rom you are running.
once you open the program to go menu, which is the right softkey, then comm manager settings. Just highlight the options you want in your comm manager. Then tap done and ok.
This is a great tool to have on your device anyhow. Play around with it. Have a good one.
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.
