How to avoid WLAN network connection dialog? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

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!

Try This
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.

S2U2 and Voice Dialer

I can't use voice dialer when S2U2 locks phone, is there a way around this? I like the S2U2 application, but when I am driving and need to make a phone call via bluetooth handfree I can't, because s2u2 block the voice dialer.
I did look for a solutions via the search engine and in the s2u2 thread, but no luck thus far.
which device?
which ROM?
which voice dial app?

Thanks for your response,
HTC 8925 (Tilt)
Dutty's Touch AT&t beta 2
Cyberon Voice Speed Dial V1.2 build 070626
The newest version of S2U2 v0.95 offers a solution to this problem by adding the ability to use exceptions to temporarily disable S2U2.
1) Install the new version.
2) Run iLock2 to close the application.
3) Use a registry editor:
Under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2, find an open ExceptionEXE(0-9) (STRING). I used ExceptionEXE3. Enter the value: "SDDialer.exe" (this is the application that runs when you press the button on your bluetooth headset).
4) Run iLock2 to restart the application and you're done.
Thanks to tompol for discovering this solution. I first tried it by entering the value: "Voice Speed Dial.lnk", but this didn't work.
Hello,
i have another problem with S2U2 on my Kaizer, and i think i created it but cannot get through it. After i did some changes on the S2U2 settings now every time the lock goes on and even if i open the settings i get a black screen and can not do anything. If i press the power on button to turn off the screen and then on, i get the S2U2 screen but frozen, with out any animation! I have tried to remove and re-install the application but i get the same response from the program. Could someone give me some help, because i really like the application but can not use it...
TIA,
Nikos.

did you turn on the directdraw option or safe mode option?
When you uninstall an app, it leaves behind the registry entries. As soon as you reinstall the app, those settings are in affecct again. Uninstall the app, use a registry editor to remove the following key, soft reset, then try to reinstall:
The key to remove is HKCU\Software\A_C
Ok, I had the exact same problem, the problem is indeed with D3D option, you need to disable it. As soon as it is off and the settings are saved, the program works fine once again, and smoother then previous version.
This part is gonna be hard to explain... but here it goes...
First thing to do is run ilock so that when u turn the screen off it doesn't start S2U2.
When you open the settings the screen freezes, like the kaiser crashed, but if you move down and you turn the screen off and on, you'll see the menu scrolled down.
Basically that means u're working blind, changes do occur but u can't see, so the process is to move it down, turning the screen off and on sistematically until u see the d3d option and turn it off, then save it.
Hope I explained myself enough.
Takes some work, but doesn't require registry tweaking and other settings are kept.
Keep posted on results.
Cheers, Esko

Thank you both for your fast and details replies!!!
It was indeed the direstdraw option. It was easier for me to try eskostar's method, especially since i had tried the same blind procedure but i did not figure the trick with running the ilock first!!!
Everything worked out great!!! Now i can use this excellent program again!!!
Thank you again!!!
Cheers, Nikos
I have this problem. When I start S2U2 and miss call screen remains as it is when someone call (caller's number and slide to answer or two buttons with green and red phone). Whatever I push or click nothing happens. So I must softreset or turn off and on my Kaiser. Some tips?
Sorry I dont have that issue. However my problem with this version of S2U2 is when SLide to Answer is Active you can still use the Hardware Keys to answer!
Anyone no how to deactivate the Hardware keys during Slide to Answer?

if any of the apps in the exception list are running, not just in the foreground, even if they are running in the background, then [email protected] will not enable. Check your exception list, make sure none of those apps are currently running, then try again. If you still have issues after that, then it's with S2U2, not the exception list.

Very well done.
Apparently Internet Explorer was still running, and as soon as I closed that it ticked off. May consider removing that key, as I don't see why I would need it.

Good deal, glad it worked for you....
when I install S2U2 (i go thru phases where I want it, then phases of "get it off my Tilt") the first thing I do is remove the exception for PIE.
FYI.... Likewise, if you run any of the Cube or TouchFlo variants out there, you will need to put an exception into the TouchFlo settings for S2U2. What happens if you don't is when you try to slide to unlock (or slide to answer) you end up invoking the Cube or TouchFlo, instead of S2U2. Just an FYI for you....
Thanks for the tip. Am still looking into wicked programs so far, only had it two weeks and it's already been through the mod ringer.

vibrate on connect -- vibrate when call connects

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!

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 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.

Bad GPS fix and QuickGPS

A lot of people here have problems with their windows 6.1 and GPS. It seems some people have more problems than others, but someone on this forum has found a registry setting which solves my problem. At least until I soft reset my device, this causes the registry setting to go back to standard.
I’m talking about this post:
mavado said:
This solution helped for me:
The problem was in the registry of QuickGPS.
I changed the region settings of my PPC to Dutch, but QuickGPS doesn’t get this settings. So I assume it’s downloading the wrong GPS information.
After I changed the following registry setting I had a fix almost immediately :
[HKLM] - Software\HTC\QuickGPS\region changed from -- to NL
After using GPS Test I got a fix very fast.
Using:
Kaiser
OS DCS 1.4 WM6.1
R 1.64.06.04

Believe it or not but this works for me as I live in Holland but I think this could work for everyone who has problems regarding 6.1 and GPS no matter what radio you use. All we have to find out what the region codes are.
But this is a temporary fix, as I said soft-reset causes the setting to jump back to ‘--’ again and GPS is very slow whit the fix. Is it possible to create some sort of cab file or setting to set the region setting in the registry to user settings at reboot or wake-up? Or is altering QuickGPS also possible? If someone could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.

After thinking about this on my way to work, I came across the fact that since I use KaiserTweak it will set the default QuickGPS settings back, which of course has its region set to "--". So i'm assuming that's why when you reset your phone thats why it resets your settings again

Then I will look into the kaisertweak’s XML file and try to remove the QuickGPS settings and see if it works. Will keep you guys updated.

QuickGPS runs as a service (a very annoying one if you don't disable the audio & popup and vibrate notification immediately ).
Have you killed QuickGPS via task manager before editing the registry and then soft resetting? (I use dotfred's, best task manager + utils proggie out!)
If the application is re-writing the registry constantly with the settings it started with, then that may be the reason why editing the settings doesn't work and why it also doesn't stick.
Give that a try...
Hope this helps!

Hi _Alex_,
Thanks for your input.
I did try that, but unfortunately it still does not keep the same settings.
What I did was soft reset, change registry, soft reset - Then I had noticed that it kept the settings, but then I did a complete shut down and power up and then again, registry settings were back to '--"
I'm using the standard ATT ROM and the wierd thing for me is that I used the GSP (TomTom) on Tuesday with no issues. I tried to use it today and am unable to connect at all to the GPS via TomTom, Google Maps, or QuickGPS.

But did you kill QuickGPS before editing the registry and proceeding to the soft reset? It runs as a hidden service, which is why I recommend using dotfred's task manager, because the standard HTC task manager might not show it running.

If you use Alexs kitchen, i think you can edit the Rgu file under region to reflex where you are and cook the package back into your rom and it would always reflex the region you choose?
I've not tested it, but would a MortScript in the startup folder not do the job?
I made a little MortScript and added it to startup:
Code:
While (1)
Sleep (60000)
If NOT regKeyEqualsString ("HKLM", "Software\HTC\QuickGPS\", "region", "SE")
RegWriteString ("HKLM", "Software\HTC\QuickGPS\", "region", "SE")
EndIf
EndWhile
This works and keeps the "SE"-setting (for Sweden), but having the script running constantly isn't exactly optimal as it uses processing power and thus adding to battery-drain. Anyone have any ideas on a different way of making the script, which is more effective/power-saving? Or is there an even better way to make the registry key stick?
Hi all, after reading numerous articles about how to fix my issue with GPS, I've managed to find a fix using the UK radio rom compatible with Dutty's 6.1 rom. What I found out was the my first lock always never locked or took forever. So, what I did was go to the registry and left the key:
"HKLM", "Software\HTC\QuickGPS\", "region" to "--"
Then for the first time, after a hard-boot, (power off/on), I had to do this once:
1. Start up GPSTool
2. Change the setting to "Warm Start" and click "open".
3. Leave the app running and open up my TOMTOM application.
4. Give it about a minute or two and then it would lock, no problems.
5. I then, exited out of TOMTOM and closed the GPSTool.
So, for the next time I need to start a GPS, enabled tool, I would just start it up and no problems, it locks right away, until the next hard-boot. Then I would do this again. Kinda stinks, but this was the ONLY working solution for now because I don't feel like flashing my phone again. I have many apps installed and it takes forever to reinstall everything. Hope this was helpful for some people. Enjoy!

Well, looks like GPSGate fixed another phone... hehe, very happy now!! Thanks all for mentioning the program!

I don't understand the link between:
- the registry key "HKLM", "Software\HTC\QuickGPS\", "region"
- and what you said about GPSTool
In the end how do you solve the problem with the region ?
Chris
The GPSTool is built into the Dutty's 6.1 ROM. Don't get that confused with the GPSGate application. They are two seperate apps.
In order for this to work, I set had to set my the registry entry "region" from "US" to "--". The full path location is listed above. I think when I ran the QuickGPS utility, it set my region to "US" in the registry. You will have to regedit it back to "--" then try what I did, or it may not work. It didn't for me until I changed it back to default, which is "--". I remember reading somewhere here that a "warm boot" was clearing the RAM within the GPS hardware, so I played around with the idea of it running, while starting up a GPS enabled application and got it to work.
But I eventually decided to use the GPSGate application which solved my problem, without having to run the GPSTool method. Note that I got a quicker lock, after regediting the region area back to "--" and running the GPSGate application. Usually the first lock would never happen or take well over 10 min. Now, the first lock is with 1-2 min. which is fine for me and every subsequent time I need to use a GPS enabled application, it would lock right-away, within seconds, until the next hard-boot (power off/on). Hope that clears things up a little.

Hmm good solution now its takes less than a min to start tomtom. thanks.
Is this problem in all wm6.1 roms....Im certain that this is the issue with mine as once i downloaded data my fix was much more rapid then without (1.5-2.5mins, no tall buildings around clear line of sight). Any wm6.1 not have this issue??

[Q]Bluetooth - making devices visible always

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?

Using Phoneweaver for profiles...need a small app/mortscript to toggle 3G on/off

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.

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.
