Avoid TyTN sleeping when using WIFI

How can I avoid WM going to sleep when I'm transferring "big files" with WIFI ?

yes of course.. just in the battery menu configure that PDA doesn't go sleep..
cheers.

It's already done...
In fact, I'm using "Slide to unlock" (S2U2) and I'm trying to sync my RSS feeds with "pRSSreader" using WIFI. After a few minutes, the screen goes to black and wifi is disabled...
So I'm looking for a solution to get my update and lock after finish

Another possiblity: Keep WIFI activated when going to sleep....
I use this to ensure keeping skype and msn online via wlan... u will find the registry key somewhere here in this board if u like it like this (just be sure to turn wifi off when u dont need it for battery reasons)

Hey lemmings,
The easiest way is to install kaisertweak.
There is an option in the XML file under Wifi Standby Mode: Enable the function
Soft reset and you're done!

The WiFi turning off on me has bothered me on occasion. I looked and I don't see any WiFi settings on Kaiser Tweak. I'm using Version 0.4 if that makes any difference.
Thanks,
Jay

Viva Kaiser Tweak ! I've use it to enable Wifi Standby Mode.

Yea, I hate that. Good thing they made Kaiser Tweak! I would be a forever annoyed by the sim contact list showing. . Is there a solution to hid them forever?

Just changed this. Thanks!
My university has a log in for Wifi and I was tired of logging in everytime my phone went to standby. Now I'm always connected!
Battery hog though.

I downloaded the latest version, which I find out is 0.41 (my old was 0.4) and now I see the WiFi setting. Thanks!

The wifi standby freezes the phone on the Tytn.

Diamond Battery 3G question and also GPS

Hi Everyone,
First post here so hopefully you guys can help. Been doing a lot of reading of the site over the last few hours since I got my Diamond - looks great. Am usually very literate in these things but have always tended to be an S60 guy so now breaking into the WM world properly..
Anyway, there are two things I wanna run by you which I'm sure you guys may know..
1. Battery/3G
As we all know, the battery sucks.. There's no denying that. I refuse to switch from 3G to 2G though cos that spoils the object. I have already conceded by turning HSDPA off and am now on normal 3G as it is. One of the things that can't be good for the battery is that it connects to check emails and then stays connected.. Whereas the beauty of the iPhone for example is that if you tell it to poll your imap server every 15 mins, it connects, checks and downloads and the disconnects. It connects again another 15 mins later.
I've set my Diamond to poll every 30 mins in the hope that it would then disconnect once it has downloaded the emails rather than staying connected for hours and hours at a time to the internet even though it's only checking my email server every 30 mins or so.. you follow?
So, I downloaded Advanced Customisation and have turned off the Auto Attach feature.. But what it does is stop the Diamond auto connecting the first time.. but then once it's connected, it stays connected to the internet.
You follow me?
Basically, I want a way for the phone to disconnect from the net when it has checked for messages then reconnect when it's time to check automatically again. Rather than staying connected or me having to switch to a manual check. Is that possible guys? Maybe that will help with the battery.
2. GPS/Battery
Other thing I heard was that if you go into the GPS settings and change the program port from Port 4 to None, then it saves on battery life. Only downside is that you then have to fiddle with the settings before you fire up Tom Tom or Google Maps. Is there any truth that the phone is always looking for GPS satellites even when satnav software is not switched on.
3. ALARM
Oh actually - there is a third question.
Is there a way of having the phone on silent but alarm clock on so that I can sleep knowing I will be woken up by the alarm but NO phone calls. It's a basic thing in Symbian/Blackberry/S40 but seems to be missing on my Diamond?
Thanks all - i have googled and searched through the forums looking for answers to these questions but had no luck.. Hopefully you can post some answers.
Have a good day and thanks in advance

I'm pretty sure that just because it's connected ie. the E or 3G symbol on the signal strength bar. It doesn't pull extra juice, extra power is only required to transfer data and not to 'maintain' the connection.
if your area has great 3G connectivity, then you could set the phone to 3G only instead of auto, cause that's what usually saps the power, the phone constantly trying to find the best band when it's feels that the signal strength isn't good enough.

you can just put the phone on flight mode. that way no one will bother you with phone calls. (not tried it but i think it will work)

Hi
BTW, to set to 3G only, is it UMTS(800+2100) or UMTS(1700) in the UK?
Cheers

Sorry i'm from MAlaysia so I wouldn't know your settings. But in anycase you can leave that at AUTO. Just force it to UMTS instead of GSM or AUTO

UMTS in the UK is 2100.
So 900+2100 i suppose

I think you need to set the auto disconnect drop down in Advanced Config. I've set it to 10 secs and it works for me.

There is an easier way... Just turn down the call volume to zero, leave system volume up. This will keep the alarm ringing, but calls won't bother you.
SMS messages however will also still ring. So if you are afraid of being woken up by those, just turn them off in the notifications setting.
Oh yeah, and don't forget to turn up the volume of calls again after you wake up I missed some calls because of that, hehe.

Add 3G ON/OFF to your CommMgr.

Isn't it nagging that you cannot switch on or off 3G with most ROM Comm Mgr.'s?
You may use the attached CAB (install and soft reset). It worked on the Tilt with every single ROM I used and works on the Fuze tested with stock AT&T ROM and T.i.R. without any problems. The ONLY issue may be that it shows a different background image compared to your other skin (mine shows the AT&T background for whatever reason).
Credit to the original creator (please don't ask me WHO it was, it's such a long time ago that I forgot).

try this- a lot easier

why would i want to turn off 3g?

Turn OFF 3G
To gain ~ 25% longer battery life.

if you're in an area that doesn't have 3G coverage turn it off so your phone doesn't keep looking for the band...if you're in 3G coverage and want the phone to make it through a day turn it off. It's a toggle so if you want to go online just turn it back on...

Hey guys. Is there a way to have the options 2G/3G(forced 3G) in CommMgr instead of 2G/Auto?

You can do this with Shap's config program also.

Great Application. I was just wonder if there's a direct link to call this app/switcher from some Winterface UI or SPB Shell icon?????? (by just hitting the icon and toggle between on/off)

Been needing this option for a while. Most of the time I don't need 3G. Never really need to be on voice and data at the same time.

Is this 3g for the comm manager which as all of you know is easy to change. Or... is this for the tf3d?

thanks for this tip. working & 3G disabled.

it's for the comm manager.
PD: wish there was a 3G on/off application option separately from comm man.

Already said. . but yeah, my battery life is a load better without it. Also, I don't consider edge slow at all. . Or perhaps it's just that 3G doesn't seem that much faster.
It's nice to turn on tho, imo, for times when I tether my laptop.

Any chance you could post a screen shot of the Comm Manager on the Fuze?
EDIT: Never mind, I think I see one in this thread. Question, why are you replacing the Data Connection option with the 3G instead of adding another option? Just curious.

no 3G icon ?
It worked with the method using Advanced Config Tool, but after soft-reset I don't get the 3G icon, just 3G on/off. Isn't this icon not included in the TF3D ? Anyway, it worked... after soft-reset 3G was on already, so I switched off. I should be getting even better battery life now? That's cool!

turning it "OFF" will activate GPRS only.. whereas turning it "ON" will make it to Auto.. can anyone help to make it 3G only instead of Auto when turning it "ON"?
coz i want to 'force' my device to use 3G only in my area.thx

Did you get the 3G icon to appear? I have same issue - the option is there but no icon. This doesn't really impact functionality, just the visual impression.

Thanks for the link. Have actually seen it a little earlier on, but nonetheless thanks Now that there is also the white version I may give it a go.
At the same time I would have thought it should be possible to just tweak an image or registry entry for a single 3G icon to show up in a Connection Manager option that is already visible ... uff

Using the Advanced Config Tool method, what are the exact steps to get the 3G toggle to show up? I (think I) followed the steps listed but...no toggle. Someone that's done it...can you post the steps? I'm missing something...
Thanks ahead of time!

Disabling data connection from service provider TROUBLES

Hey guys I am sorry if this has been covered before but I can't find it. I have an unlocked euro diamond but I'm using rogers as my service provider. I have wifi at home but when im away from home I don't want the diamond to connect to rogers data connection at all but from time to time it says its on. How do I make it so that I can use the data connection when I want to manually but at the same time automatically not connect to data from rogers?

Do a search for 'no data' it will allow you to control your data connections

do a search on this forum? Nothing really comes up with what I need.

I have a euro diamond on Rogers now aswell
I find this way works to disable data connection
All Setter --> Connections ---> Connections
once you in there see if you have anything rogers related, if yes just delete that set up (you prob let the phone set it up for you when you first start up your phone in Toronto)
as long as you don't set up a connection in that tab. It will never connect to any E and G

is this something I have to plug into like active sync to see or is it in the phone. I cant find anything called allsetter, thanks so much for helping though

it's on the phone.. slider the botton menu to Settings
THen in there bottom left there is a tab that says All Settings. Hit that then once you there.. you will see Personal, System, Connections on the bottom. Tap the Connection Tap, once you there.. you should see an icon that says Connections. Hit that also.
After that it will show all your current set up data transfer network. If you see one there. Delete it then it should be ok.
If you got more problems just continue posting here, I need to head out for a bball game will come back afterwards to help if you still need

Oh actually I see it and i deleted the rogers internet in manage settings its working nice thanks! But when im out of wifi range this means i cant update at all liek weather or anything. So what I just did disabled the E and G connection but my phone radio connection to rogers still works and everything related to data will work with wifi? Thank you so much big bro!

yes correct. now you can only update if you are in a WiFi region. If you are not then you just can't update data but your phone will still work cause that is another separate setting.
Next time if you don't want data connection, remember NOT to allow the phone auto setup internet connection setting (usually after it finishes configuring the phone setting).
Glad i can help!

The thing is that yes you are right, but when my phone comes out of stand by theres a G and then it goes into wifi after 2 seconds. Do you know why? Is it using data?

displaying G or E or H is just letting you know what kind of signal the phone can pick up.. as long as the reception bars icon does not have a G or E or H or 3G beside and has an antenna sort of thing beside the bars then you are ok.
I'm assuming it turns to WiFi right away because you have WiFi on right? Turn WiFi off and tell me if the same thing happens

yes and it makes sense thanks haha im just so new to this smartphone stuff. I want to make it run faster and better with rom updates and stuff but theres so much content i don't know where to begin. I want to do it myself but I don't want to mes it up. I just gotta learn from all of you. Thanks a lot bigbro!

what do you mean by changing view option?

i was just toggling with the view options under menu when your in contacts. It wont let me back in all people or contacts unless I restart phone. All these people were moved over from rogers sim.

not sure about this. But I'm assuming it's a ROM issue.
Are you still using stock ROM? cause when i got this phone the stock ROM was VERY slow and buggy.

yes I am lol i would like to change it but im so newb. When you have time could you help me through it?

Im going to sleep and look at the tutorial/guides tmrw and ill msg u if i need help =p. GN thanks a million

well all the ROM thread under the ROM Development section has all the instruction to how to flash a new ROM. Just REMEMBER to flash a HARD-SPL before you do any ROM updates or else it will brick your phone (dead phone)
My suggestion for ROM would be the dutty one. Been using it for the last 2 months and his ROM are clearly one of the best available out there.
The link for newest dutty ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411707
I'm using his V3.6 FINAL (you can find it on dutty's website) not the V4 on his thread, but the instruction of flashing a new ROM is exactly the same, it has step by step instructions there for you to follow or you can go here for the instructions: http://lievenvw.wordpress.com/2008/09/18/howto-flash-your-htc-diamond-or-htc-touch-pro-with-a-custom-rom/
Hope this helps

This is probably what you need: MoDaCo NoData

Connection manager for WM6.1?

I have stock rom, PL, and I've been going over customizing my system, installing good software and in the end I got most of the free stuff at reccomended software thread even though I didn't follow it. That means your reccomendations are approved by me. Anyway...
Is there any software for windows mobile, paid or free, which installs additional connection manager/overrides default one?
I would like it to have some of those options:
-maintain different WiFi hotspots and remember their passowrds(default doesn't seem to remember the pass, it always forgets my home hotspot password...)
-ability to tell 3G etc. to cancel connection and not try to reconnect. Right now when I by mistake turn on some internet app it tries to connect, when I cancel the connecting bubble will jump out before I'm able to close the app, and it's really hard to close the app without connecting...
-being finger friendly... like most of rest of my phone now... Anyway, I can't imagine much apps to be less finger friendly than default manager so it doesn't matter that much
And basically the more options the better I've looked over net and looked trough XDA with google but I didn't find anything appropriate.

10 Button Comm Manager
Have you looked at the WM 10 Button Comm Manager by Dutty. It won't help you to remember passwords, but it has a button to turn off 3G. When you disable 3G, it won't connect to a site with 3G again until you re-enable the connection.

Well, I just tried it, but I don't really see the point. Even if I turned it off my programs would connect with Edge. I pay for the ammount of data transferred and I don't think changing to edge helps anything except for slower speed xD
Edit: I found something like that: http://www.maxprograms.pl/plik,510.html
I will try it out later, but it might, just might, do some of things I want.
