I'm running the Juicy 7 ROM on a Sprint Touch Pro.
I recently installed this, but I believe the following behavior happened beforehand.
My Comm Manager does the following:
Bluetooth is in the off position, but it is turned on. Tapping says "Can't turn on Bluetooth".
There is a Beam option. What is that? Is that for IR? I don't have IR on this phone. Can it be hidden?
There is a 3G option, which I assume is data. Tapping that does nothing.
I believe the 3G option is for those with GSM version of the Touch Pro, you might be running into these problems be cause of incompatibilities with the CDMA version. Not absolutely sure, but that would be my guess.

beam on the TP is for bluetooth file transfer (no irda on the tp)
cdma is also 3g on the sprint network and is regarding the data network
cant help on the bluetooth issue
Should I remove Comm Manager and put a different version on? Which should I use?

Yea, i would remove it, the issue is compatability between GSM and CDMA, the radios work differently. I think your best bet would be to look over at PPC Geeks as they deal much more with CDMA.

I know there is another Communicaiton Manager out there, but all I want to do is replace the Wireless Modem entry in the default AT&T Communication Manager with Internet Sharing.
I looked around in the Registry and found some data for CommMgr, but did not see a pointer to the app to run.
Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
Don
I tried as well, doesn't work.
I think you'd need a new comm manager. It's probably a hard link in the DLLs. And to replace them I think you need to cook a new rom.
I've been wondering this also. I installed duttythroy's black 3g comm manager and it still has wireless modem even though the screen shots showed it as ICS.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't they do the same function? Don't fix what ain't broke.

Not as far as I can tell. When you use ICS, the phone connects as a Windows Mobile Netwirk device. When you use Wireless Modem, it connects as a modem and requires the AT&T Comm manager program and it appears that you are not running 3G data directly but making a cell phone call using the modem.
For me, getting an incomming call will bump the wireless modem but not the ICS connection.
I cant even get Wireless Modem to work, but ICS works great over USB and Bluetooth. Thats why i'd like to change it.
1) I installed SMS chat thread v 1.0 which did not work. i think it is designed for touch screens and I have an HTC s730. I used the WM remove programs tool but it left behind several folders which can be seen only on the folders screen for messaging. I lso have no confirmation after send feature. The company, vito technology has not responded. Any ideas?
2)can anyone recommend a GOOD sms app for the HTC S730?
thanks!
How can I make absolutely sure my phone doesn't connect to 3G/EDGE unintentionally? I don't want it to default to this when it can't connect to a specific WiFi-signal, since my calling plan has terrible rates for data transfers.

i may have the perfect solution for this....(especially if you're operator is Tmobile)
go to start>settings>connections>connections.
manage existing modem connections.
tap and hold that connection located there and delete it.
now without connecting to a wifi signal, open your browser and type a site (ex. google.com) and if that edge/3g doesn't pop up, SUCCESS!!!
hope it works and good luck.
Is there registry hack to force phone to ask user confirmation before connecting using GPRS/EDGE/3G. All normal phones has that...

I'm not recognizing the menu choices there, is this for a s730? I did try to change user name and password in GRPS settings under Start>settings>connections>GPRS, but that didn't seem to help either.
What omadon99 suggested about a registry hack would be perfect, since I don't want to permanently disable 3G/EDGE, I just don't want the phone to connect to it and cost me money without confirmation when WiFi doesn't work.
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.
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!
has anyone figured out a way to get the GPS to work with any nav software (i have the Garmin SD card) or use the HTC Internet Sharing without having to give AT&T the extra dough every month?
Also, do these features work with a new ROM?
thanks guys!
GPS on Pure is not locked so even with the AT&T stock ROM you should be able to run you nav software. I personally have tried Google Maps, Bing and TomTom, all working fine, so I don't think there should be a reason for Garmin not to work.
Haven't checked the Internet Sharing with stock ROM though because impatience just drove me putting a cooked ROM onto the device before I really explored all the stock ROM features/bloatwares. However, I can confirm that Internet Sharing works like a charm with my current ROM (I'm running Duttys at this point and am going to try out EnergyROM pretty soon).
Hope this helps.
do u have a direct link to where i can get the ROM you are using?

I'm using the stock rom that comes from ATT Pure.
I installed Garmin, Google Maps and Bing and all of them are working without making any change to registries or any trick.
definitively the GPS is not locked on the original ATT Rom
Following along with the others in this thread. Third party GPS tools seem to work well.
As far as Internet Sharing, you'll want to check this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437796
Is anyone else having this issue (having searched, haven't found 'lest I'm blind )
On my AT&T Pure, have GPSToday (full app, not the "today screen" version) and Bing. Both have worked fine on my old Kaiser, when GPS running, the apps both actively download new map sections as I go...
However...
On the Pure, if I open either app and run GPS, the app doesn't update maps, but when I stay in the app and turn OFF the GPS, both apps will start downloading map data (from the centerpoint of the last GPS position...
it's almost like there's something in the Pure (or some setting I've screwed up?) that shuts off these apps' access to the data network when the GPS is on... I'll test that this afternoon after my class, by allowing GPS to run in Bing and seeing if IE will hit the Internet... but in the meantime, just wondering if anyone else is/has experienced this?

Great, worked for At&t Pure. I'm now using MEdia Net. You may be able to change the registry key Value from At&t ISP Net to MEdia Net so you won't have to deal with accdidently clicking the drop-down when you connect.

Just install this cab and set both your networks to MediaNet and you can tether.
How do i get the ATT Pure to Share the Internet
I can't get the phone to to the internet sharing, I have uninstalled the proxy but to no good. If you go to the program for intenet sharing I dont get any option, I click to connect and the error message says unable to connect. Is there a register edit to be done or do i have to pay ATT more $$$$ for the service?

First go to Settings\Connections\Connections\Advanced\Select Networks and set both to Media Net, click OK.
Then go to Tasks\Manage Existing Connections\Proxy Settings and check "This network connects to the internet" and uncheck "This network uses a proxy server", also remove the proxy server settings.
For the second part, it may be greyed out if you're on the stock ROM, if so, install the RemoveHiddenProxy.cab posted previously.
having problems again and again on just unlocking the phone so I can put a new ROM on it. I too want to use the tethering on my HTC Pure from AT&T. Have a link to a simple process to unlock and push the ROM?
