I would like to have a quick access to a list of wifi networks available in a place I am. To get such list I have to go to Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Wi-Fi. It is so time consuming and annoying!
Is it possible to create a shortcut to the WI-FI icon and put it in the Start menu? I couldn’t find it in the Windows folder. There is only Wireless LAN icon.
Do you maybe know any other good solution? The ideal one would be: click -> you turn on wifi and see a list of available networks.
I haven't tried this... but... apparently somebody has and thinks it will work

What I did was download the BTOnOff Button from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2276141#post2276141
then linked that to the call button (long press). this way you can just hold on to the call key to turn bluetooth on and off. you can also download the WiFi button, soft reset button, etc. and link those to hardkeys

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

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

Hello again,
My phone vibrates when a call is connected. I know there is a program called pocketAlarm that enables this feature but I never installed it!
What is causing this?
(I like this feature but Im just curious as to how and where this feature was enabled)
Thanks in advance.
Do you have any other contact managers installed? I know inesoft Address Book can be configure to vibrate on connection. I didn't think it was an option in a default build of WM 6.
I do have Inesoft installed but I don't see an option anywhere in the program to enable or disable this feature. Am I missing something?
check this: Settings, Personal tab, sounds & notifications, notifications tab, connection disconnected.
Make sure vibrate at the bottom is not checked. If it is, whenever you dial a phone number the internet disconnect will cause the unit to vibrate. Same thing with connection established.
I checked there and the vibrate mode is not selected, yet it still vibrates when it connects to a call. I am just wondering what software or option is causing it to do this.
The feature is hidden and can only be accessed if you enable Options "Show Tray Icon". Then go to the WM's default Today screen, tap the tray icon and the setting is there under options. I think it is silly to hide it there as people who disable the tray icon will not find this feature.

Try Start>Settings>Personal Tab>Phone>Scroll all the way to the right until you see the Advanced tab>Remove the tick from "Vibrate device when connection is established">Click OK until you see your home screen.
Your connected call shouldn't vibrate anymore - well it worked for me anyway!
Cheers

This is not available on my stock AT&T (bloatware removed) 6.1 ROM. There is no "Advanced" tab. I would like to enable this feature. I've tried installing a CAB to do this, but no luck.

I am currently using this ROM:

Its quick and stable - I can thouroughly recommend it!
I am not sure where you can change the vibrate on call connect setting on a different ROM. Perhaps its worth searching the registry for the word vibrate?
If I find anything I will post to let you know.

looking for a way to stop the htc diamond of connecting to the internet all the time i would like to do this on a manual basis , thanks
Edit the title of the thread... you might get a better response rate.
you could remove the connection under Start --> Settings --> Connections --> Connections then tap and hold and choose delete.
and you will get flamed for such a useless title for your post

yeah.. do that..
and then everytime you want to connect to the net... enter the settings again.
OR..
WHY Don't you just disable everything that is starting off your internet on it's own.
That could include the Weather updates (set it to manual), Scheduled Downloading of your emails (set it to manual),
Push mail
hell, could be anything depending on what you have installed on your diamond.
JFTR, Just to make things clear - when I suggested editing the title of the thread - I do not mean something like WM6.1 HTC Touch Diamond
I mean, a title which would reflect your problem ...

Hey, I didn't mean to offend you mate.
Just put up my suggestion too. That's all.
Ok, i did search over the forum, found some posts on this problem. But no solution, or i couldn't get the solution.
So, the question: everytime i click the bluetooth on at the comm manager, the "Making devices visible" will not checked at other people not able to send files to me. I need to manually go to bluetooth settings to enable it. It looks tedious every time i need to do double job by enable the bluetooth at comm manager and go to bluetooth setting to check "making devices visible".
Any tweak on this?
Ok. Found the solution by myself.
At blurtooth setting, click the timeout tab. Change Turn off visible mode to "never".
Try on bluetooth and check Make device visible again. It should work on your next bluetooth turn on.
Sorry for asking a dumb question.

This works until the next time you soft reset the device. Do you think there is a registry key that makes it permanent?

Ciao, Andrea
Hi,
I'm having this problem: At home I work with WLAN all the time, so WLAN is enabled. Later, when I take my Xda Diamond as navigation device (with TomTom), whenever I pass a hotspot or private WLAN, a dialog box pops up and a nasty sound plays, telling me that WLAN networks are found and asking to connect. I simply want to avoid that dialog. Is it possible to tell the Diamond to ONLY connect to known WLAN networks (the one at home) and to be quiet if any other network is in range?
Sure, I could simply turn off WLAN whenever I leave home, but often I forget that, and I don't want to fiddle with the settings while driving...
Thanks!
you can turn off the notification when a new network is detected. just look in settings>sounds & notifications.
Dave, exactly what I was looking for! I just missed the point that you can change more than the standard ring tone here... Thanks!

If your still having problems, try this.
Here is a program i made that fixes this problem for the HTC touch pro, let me know if it works on your device.
On my device at least, after I disable the notifications they come back automatically every time I soft reset. This will fix that issue

You were right, after soft reset the notifications came back. Actually I solved that by setting a registry key in a MortScript:
RegWriteDWord( "HKCU", "ControlPanel\Notifications\{DDBD3B44-80B0-4b24-9DC4-839FEA6E559E}", "Options", 0 )
I guess your *.exe does the same?

Interesting... how do you launch the script? Do you put a shortcut to it in the startup folder?

Exactly. After installing MortScript, it's enough to put a shortcut to my init.mscr script into the \windows\AutoStart folder.
Yep, that's all my program is doing.
