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).

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!

Hey lemmings,
The easiest way is to install kaisertweak.
There is an option in the XML file under Wifi Standby Mode: Enable the function

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,

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.

This may be a really stupid or obvious question, but is there any way to turn 3G off the phone and only have it on when you go on the internet/internet application? I think it drains the battery quite a bit, and if I press disconnect and am in range, it justs connects again in the same minute.

Just turn it off in your comm manager, mine never goes on unless i want it too.
What is that? I don't think there is an option on my comm manager.
ok do you have advancedconfig?
start>programs>system tools>advancedconfig ?
If not are you using your device with the original software and rom it came with?
I don't have advancedconfig, or even system tools in programs for that matter, im on vario iii by t-mobile
yeah i don't know how to help you since you are using a stock rom, which doesn't really give you many options for customization.
Search for Modaco NoData. It allows you to toggle your data connections reliably.
Robert
just go to start>settings>connections>hsdpa and then uncheck it? does that work?
if not go to settings>personal>phone>band> select GSM
I use the stock att rom and was able to install the 3G Comm Manager without a problem. My battery lasts MUCH longer now.
Just search for 3G Comm Manager in this forum and you will see several versions to choose from.
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 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?

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

I hate the bar indicator that is defaulted on the Imagio because you cant tell how much is left unless you go into the notification section. How can I put a battery indicator where it shows the percentage. I have tried a few things already posted on various websites and it works, but then something else is screwed up. I.E. EV instead of 3G, email indicator does work anymore.
Has anyone found a solution that works for the Imagio regarding the battery percentage indicator without screwing anything else up.
not percentage but I use Batti, and it works most of the time. it doesnt screw up other icons even when it gaks out on me.
where can I find this Batti cab or download. What does it look like?
Posted this on PPCGeeks its home is here. Check on ArielBatery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364278).... Great freeware.
great, thanks
looks great, but when I reset the Imagio I have to click on the .exe file again. Do I have to do this everytime. There is no way to permanently install the app and then remove it later on if I want to.

Just drop the entire .exe (or a shortcut if you know how) into the /windows/startup directory and it will restart every time your reboot. This is by far my favorite battery app.

i did that mod from XDA and everything worked great except my "3G" icon turned into "EV". did your not do this? and a question that maybe you could answer for me (i am not a pro like you guys at all). Just because it says "EV" now does that mean I'm not getting "3G".
let me know if your didn't change and maybe i'll remove everything and do it again. I only did the two cab install(certificate one and Fixoverbatt one). I didn't change anything in the registry (too afraid). but if you say thats what I have to do than i will
thanks
by the way, no e-mail indicator either now. what about you?

Ev = EVDO = CDMA 3G network. It's the same thing, except the guy who made that toolbar, made an Ev icon instead of 3G. Verizon up until recently always had an Ev icon for their 3G data network signal, but recently decided to get on board with the more known generic moniker of 3G. In effect on a CDMA network device they are the same.
thanks Fwaits. At least i can be at peace knowing i didn't screw that up. On his task bars he did have a "3G" one. I know it's just eye candy but it would be nice to get that back. I'm hoping it's one more step I have to do or something simple like that. I can't change DLL's or anything. (at least i think i can't). but his task bars showed arounb 10 different ones and some had the 3G. but it didn't tell you how to chose any of them. it was just one cab so i figured the phone would chose it automatically. Thats whay i want to see what "Boss429" says happened to his 3G icon.
again, thanks very much. this is hard to understand when it's your first time
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424926
here it is above(if you want to check for me)
Yeah that's because it works for both GSM carriers and CDMA carriers, but the specific icons for the CDMA radio signal are in a different file and so the GSM 3G icon will not show up on a CDMA phone.
ive been using ArielBattery2.1
Hello all!
I was wondering of there is any way to switch.off.the gsm radio of the tab completely and permanently.
I found a solution using service code in the dialer but after resrtarting the device the annoying icon comes back onto the status.bar.
Thanks in advance!

Seen that there are no updates here so I thought I'd stop by and ask how you made out?
If you still haven't done anything about it, have a look at this post
Just got a possible solution from frgking12!
I'll post it here if someone would like to try it:
I used Llama to create an Event called "Start Up" which will automatically turn Airplane Mode ON, wait 1 minute, then turn Wifi ON. This essentially makes it a Wifi only device and conserves battery life. Here are my Llama settings:
Conditions -
Phone Reboot > After Start up
Actions -
Toggle Airplane Mode > Airplane Mode On
Queue another event >
Conditions
Event name > WiFi on
Queue Delay > 1 minute
Actions
Toggle Wifi > WiFi On
Thanks to frgking12 again!
this method of turning airplane mode on and then enabling wifi also makes it so that bluetooth is disabled (and therefor won't work for my needs as I often use my apple wireless (bluetooth) keyboard with it.
unfortunately, it looks as if the post referenced by theREDlegion is a temporary fix that must be done each time you restart.
if anyone has an alternative, I too would appreciate the ability to turn off the gsm radio (and save battery life) as I too have a tmobile sgt and I also choose not to subscrube to 3g service but would rather use wifi all the time.
thanks in advance

My reference was only for the OP's original request which is an easy way to disable the GSM radio, and EASILY revert back to it working, nothing permanent. There are also widgets to do this but some of them are buggy. The fix outlined works well, the average tab user does not shut off their tabs regularly only the screen. The OP will not find that this is something they would be doing constantly. There are also scripts that can be run at boot, or apps such as Tasker which can automate these tasks.
A permanent fix would be to flash a ROM without a modem, but I'm not sure how you would get rid of the existing one. I'm sure some searching would get you places.

ooh, that's an interesting idea. shouldn't it just be a matter of restocking the tab, then flashing overcome (or any other rom of your choice that doesn't integrate the modem software), and simply choosing to not install a radio at that point?
I might experiment with that at some point (has anybody else tried it?)
