Turning Bluetooth On

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 :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333237&highlight=htc+bluetooth+today+plugin

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!

Assign 3G on/off to hardware button

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

Instant bluetooth + wlan

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.

Remapping hardware buttons

There are several applications which allows you to remap buttons (AE Button Plus, HButton...). If you dont need more than 6-8 shortcuts you should be fine with this. (I prefer this remapping solution because it doesnt require to keep some program running in RAM)
These shortcuts are basically generic but here's what I've found and tested on Wings.
Code:
Shortcut Current App. Remapping
Long_POC.lnk - OK
Long_End.lnk Lock Not tested
Long_Home.lnk - OK
Long_Send.lnk - OK
Short_POC.lnk CommManager OK
Long_Power.lnk Turn Off OK
Long_Pound.lnk Line Switch ???
Long_VolUp.lnk Voice Dial. OK
Long_Camera.lnk Camera OK
Short_Power.lnk Quick App. OK
Short_Camera.lnk Camera OK
Long_VolDown.lnk Voice Notes OK
Long_NonCamera.lnk ??? ???
Short_NonCamera.lnk ??? ???
(NonCamera = POC on some devices. I dont know why is it on Wings but probably because of generic WM keypad map.)
Code:
Key Name Hardware Button
POC CommManager
End End Call
Home Home
Send Send Call
Power Turn On/Off
VolUp Volume Up/+
Camera Camera
VolDown Volume Down/-
How to use...
1. Create a shortcut of a program
2. Rename the shortcut to the shortcut name of a key you want to asign to (TaskManager.lnk to Long_Home.lnk for example)
3. Copy it to \Windows\ directory

Wow! Awesome! Thanks for shedding light on this!
Tested short_power.lnk successfully.
[ADDITION]
IE button: is PIE.lnk + Short_IE.lnk.

About
If you need turn on WiFi, you have to press at least 4 keys by default to start WiFi (using Comm Manager).
After installation of WirelessToggle, just press and hold Comm Manager button to toggle Wifi (on/off). (Alternatively you can use attached exe and assign WirelessToggle to any button / shortcut you want to).
And as always: There are few more programs that can be used for faster turning on/off WiFi but this keeps the RAM free as much as possible.
Installation:
WirelessToggle.cab - just install
Run WirelessToggle.exe (from \Program Files\smartmadsoft\WirelessToggle) manually (just once) before using the shortcut (otherwise you wont be able to confirm dialog window asking you about running unsigned code)
Download:
WirelessToggle.zip (4 kB)
Support:
Tested only on S730 but it should work on other devices as well (will test it later).

Great work moneytoo!
This is real usefull, thanks for sharing!

does anyone know the WM6.1 connection manager (wireless manager in home screen) file name?
wireless toggle doesn't work for me (wm6.1) it removes all wireless settings from the WM comm manager, and swiches wireless off right after I've enabled it.

i need to look into this, whether it will work on a diamond, cause it's hardware button associations are plain stupid...

Does it work on the Diamond? I'm getting a Touch Pro in a month and I really hope it works...

What did you find out?
Does it work on your Diamond?

i right clicked on psshutxp.exe and selected create a shortcut.. i renamed file to Long_Power.lnk .. dropped in my windows folder and reset my htc touch pro (cdma) ,,, never asked if i wanted to overwrite anything ...
now when i press down my power button... the same default action happens... it is not running psshutxp....

Remapping headset button?
I'd like to bounce an idea and see if your solution might work for this specific issue.
Seems like the headphone button = green answer button on newer htc systems. If I press the headhpone button twice - I'd like to jump one track forward. Press it three times, I'd like to jump one track back again. Would this be possible to map somehow? That is, multiple key inputs?
Regards.

Has anyone here found a solution for the touch diamond?

I know that this is the Wings forum but nevertheless I would like to know if anybody has found a similar mapping functionality for the HD2... I tested several shortcuts but only long_send.ink seems to work.

For Multibuttonmappingwhatsoever I can recommend HButton as it allows to activate different things depending on how long you press the button. Remapping doesnt really work for me after all, nothing happens..

Hi, I want to remmap Home Button in HTC HD2(Leo). But when I search the link, I can't find anything that mention about home.
Any suggestion? Thx..

Oooopss.. Sorry, wrong thread.
I'm just too desperate.

For the HD2 unfortunately only the long_send button seems to work. I tested the others mentioned on the first page of this thread but they did not work - at least not by using shortcuts or reg keys (but I did not test any special software as HButton).

Looking for simple Bluetooth on/off switch or button

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.
