Hey everyone, I just flashed the HTC Kaiser ROM on my Tilt and it works wonderfully, big thanks to pof and others who are making these type of things possible, donations are on the way by dinner time this evening, I give u my word!
From past experience with the TyTN, having 3G connection on at all times as opposed to just EDGE, seriously kills battery life. So I thought I could just go to the comm manager and toggle 3G off, but the option is not there. There's a Data Toggle on/off, but that seems to turn off my data connection all together. I just want the phone to use EDGE for periodically checking emails, and to use 3G when I need that type of bandwith(eg, Skype and web surfing). Is there anyway for me to have that 3G Toggle on/off switch again? It just now hit me that the ROM I was using at the time was a cooked ROM, so it might not be available until the great chefs get there properly tools.
Hmm....I was just wondering, any help on this is greatly appreciated.

Band page
Is there a way to get the Band Page to display on phone settings? The registry settings from the Hermes don't seen to work.
at&t tilt - stock ROM
The Advanced Configuration tool allowed me to use the 3G switch instead of the PTT setting on the Comm Manager. It doesn't have any icons though. :-(

And you can get these tools in this thread:

Also if you read some of the msgs, you'll find how to use it.
I think that here is what you want.

Niiccee....that's the one. Actually, I started using the JUV comm manager that's also found on that link, thank I appreciate the help.
Or you could use start/settings/phone/band and switch "select your network type" from Auto to GSM.
This will stop 3G working until you switch back to auto!

Hi there,
I am not sure if this is due to the German MDA Vario III Rom, but indeed if you go to Communcations Manager and you can switch the Data Connection On and Off, but even better, if I go to "Settings", then "Phone Settings" I have a Tab what says "Band" and there I am able to use "Auto" (GSM/EDGE and UMTS) or GSM/Edge.
Again, this is to be found on the German MDA Vario III ROM.
Cheers
Mike

No Band page by default on the Tilt. Registry settings from Hermes (or Advanced Configuration) do not work on the Tilt.
Still hunting for how the hell you do this on the Tilt.

Why don't you just flash with the HTC Rom assuming this one has the "Band Tab"?
Mike
The 10 button with 3g in this link seems to work as well.
EDIT: You'll need the registry fix for Wifi for this to work. Details here.

Not ready to take the leap yet. Want to see how others do with it first. Also, there will be several excellent Hermes cooks flocking this way to cook for the Kaiser - some who specialize in starting with the at&t base ROMs.
Plus i would like to learn the differences in registry settings between the two.

So far I like Schen's 10 button comm manager the best.

thanks,

hey guys, i'm using one of dutty's 6.0 roms, and when i first started using it, i opened the comm manager and turned off the 3G. once i did that the comm manager doesnt even have that 3G icon anymore. now i'm using a friends sim card to tether, and i cant seem to get 3G on. its pretty crappy tethering w/edge, so if somebody can help me i'd appreciate it, thanks

Haven't got my phone in front of me, but if you go into Start > Settings > Phone, there's an option in there for Network connection which can either be set to Auto or GSM/GPRS . This is all the 3G button in the Comm Manager does (Auto is 3G on, GSM is 3G off).
Sorry if the directions are a little vague, I'm doing this from memory and it's been a while since I had a Comm Manager without the 3G button!
Of course, if your friend's SIM or account isn't 3G-enabled, then whatever you do to your phone won't work!!
I tried VJVolubilis but it doesn't work so well with the radio and doesn't work at all for the wifi... thus i was thinking of whether are there any alternatives to toggle these settings to on/off?
thx!

I just use the Comm Manager (which comes with the Diamond phone), you can toggle bluetooth, WiFi, 3G or GSM, Flight mode, etc. all within.

Hands down.
Try this: Effcomm
its so simple its the best
only issue is that sometimes after soft reset it won't show on today screen and you must go into today settings, uncheck and check the effcomm today plugin and it'll show again

AeButtonplus
AEButton Plus works great for me. YOu can program enough of the keys to do numberous jobs. Turn on and off wifi, bluetooth, almost anything assigned to any button.
wow, thanks for the good find! Now I can remap soft key to just plain Bluetooth toggle On & Off. Cool.
i've got trouble with the effcomm
what came out on my today screen was a jumble of overlapping wifi, bluetooth and radio words.
And i'm kinda looking for icon-based kinda program (or anything that can be configured on rltoday) =x
I know this is an old thread, but I wonder if there is anything similar to Effcomm out there that also allows toggling of GPS.
on my att tilt, I now dont have the option to turn on/off 3G in the comm mgr. I also don't have tools in programs anymore - any ideas?
Hey everyone. I live in a fairly rural area but work in Atlanta. Would there be any benefit to disabling HSDPA battery wise? In the office the only connection I seem to get is Edge and at home I get 3g (Ironically)
Install Schap's Communications Manager. It has a button to turn off 3G services. You can also enable the selection if you use Advanced Configurator 3.3.

Schaps fails with insufficient permissions.
EDIT: Advanced config installed ok after the comm manager didnt so I am good to go, thanks.
funny, 2 responses (now three) but no answer to your question. I'm curious too. How much does 3g drain the battery more than Edge?
