I installed it on mogul, the "wlan" is not working. The author told me that the registry needs to be adjusted due to the difference between the hardware.
Can someone fix it for Mogul? I am not a IT guy.
thanks.
Dittos - is there someone that can look into the registry tweak. Would love to get this working as well.
Its not a registry tweak.
The WLAN is controlled by a physical hardware switch on the Titan (its that little switch on the left hand side of the device).
Can you imagine a comm manager that automatically makes that switch move on the side? Would it move by magic, because last I checked there isn't a motor underneath it...
It may be possible to disconnect the WLAN toggle, but that's more complicated and may require you to open up and start soldering inside your phone....
Give it up. Why would you rather use the comm manager than the switch anyway?
Yep - actually I discovered I had the switch off (duh) and was coming back here to amend my post. When the switch is on, you can indeed go into commgr and shut it off too...
So it does work for me. Forgot that there was a switch - so used to the 6700!
BTW, funny post Dishe - a motor to move the switch. Heh.
I think you guys are right. There is no need for a WLAN since mogul alredy got a hard switch for it.
It would be nice if we could reassign the function of the wlan hardware switch. I would set it up like my old Treo to make is a ringer/vibrate switch.
I'd go for remapping the wlan switch. Since I've got the unlimited data, I rarely turn the wifi on. I'd rather be able to control that via software and use the hard switch for ring/vibe.
Hope springs eternal I guess
if you could change the wifi button on the 10-button comm manager to write either 1 or 11 to hlm\system\state\hardware\wifi dword you could turn the wifi on / off.
well.. maybe turn it on / off but it still doesn't seem to want to connect.. just turns on the little wifi icon on the top. : )
I think the WiFi switch is not software configurable. I think HTC designed it to be a physical toggle to cut the power to the WLAN chipset, so that's all it will ever do, unless as I stated earlier, someone opens it up and surgically re-wires it to be a new programmable button.
That would be nice, but unlikely. Then again, I could be wrong about how it works...
The fact that it can be software-controlled when the switch is on (can be toggled on/off with the comm manager), but not when the switch is off (WLAN options does nothing when the switch is off), makes my theory a reasonable explanation for how it works.
Sorry folks. Nothing to see here...
Titan WiFi Siwtch to Ringer Vibrate
This thread may be dead, and everyone may already know this, but just in case
No2Chem's latest preview rom includes nueWifiSwitch which allows the user to change the functionality of the Titan's wifi hardware switch.
I have mine to on = Ringer On and off = Vibrate and I love it.
Here is a link to the announcements thread in the ppcgeeks forum about it

I knew about it, but I didn't know what to change it to. This is a good function. Thanks!

Just wondering if anyone knows or can quickly create a little applet (not java!) that can quickly switch the radio functionality of the XDAII? The manual clicking of that aerial icon is a pain. I guess the aerial functionality is probably accessing some DLL or something? Maybe it'd be a quick job?
Switching Radio off
According to my manual you're sposed to be able to press and hold the red phone button - the manual says this can be used to toggle the phone off/on but that certainly isn't the case on my phone?
Anyone know why this isn't working properly?
Manual's wrong... from previous forum postings, this can be done on the original XDA but this for some really weird reason doesn't work on the XDAII. Hence a request to some Pocket PC coders out there who might be able to whip a quick utility up?
what is wrong with clicking the signal level icon, and selecting 'flight mode' ?
clicking signal icon
that takes two clicks - it's a lot easier to press and hold a h/w button
I'm serious
I solved this problem in a nice way using ButtonMax 1.01. Now I can, not only turn radio on/off by simply keeping pressed the up/down key on my xda's pad, but as buttomax supports macros definition I could even let it put my pin in the phone as I turn the radio back on!
Using it toghter with Alarm Today allowed me to solve the problem of scheduled on/off too. Both programs run in team and you can use buttomax macros at a scheduled time, setting them as an alarmtoday event. :wink:

Very good idea, indeed. Thanks.
It's possible to use the "Record" button instead?
I tried to use the “Record” button in the ButtonMax, but nothing appends?
If I use the down pad key, it work’s, why?
Can you help me? I really want to use the Record Button, that way, I can switch off the Radio(Phone) with the PDA inside the case in bell clip.
Thank's,
Nuno Cardoso.
Ok,
I was on eXpansys some while back, and read on the HP 6915's page that you could change profiles on the today screen to change wireless protocols.
For example you could setup the following.
Home - Wifi On, BT off, GPS off, GSM on.
Car - Wifi Off, BT on, GPS on, GSM on.
Work power - Wifi on, BT on, GPS off, GSM on.
Work no power - Wifi off, BT off, GPS off, GSM on.
Would make my life a lot easier that's for sure.
Is that something that HP came up with themselves ?? Is it a download somewhere?? Anyone HELP!!
Not a built-in/free solution, but PocketZenPhone is pretty good for this:
www.pocketzenphone.net
Cheap too, EUR$8/USD$10...
Yes that's sort of what I'm after, but I really want something I can setup and just leave on the today screen, with the option for GPS aswell (I don't think that has it).
Phonealarm is what you need. Haven't not tried it on my Trinity but was pretty erractic on my P800W(Artemis).

I don't think you need to worry about GPS, it comes on when you launch a program that needs it and turns itself off when the program closes.

PocketZenPhone installs an icon that sits at the bottom of the today screen - either tap on it or or use the scroll wheel/button to change profile. It also has a today plugin, but it takes up a lot of real-estate... You can also use Voice Command to change profile by fiddling with the shortcuts.
You are right about GPS - it doesn't handle that, but since the GPS doesn't actually transmit anything there is very little to be gained by switching it off - not even sure if the various GPS ROMs for Trinity have this option.
Before I begin, yes I'm probably a relative newbie, yes I've searched the forum, and yes I've read the wiki.
I've got an 8525 running WM6 (thanks vp3G). I always use my phone in vibrate mode when I'm carrying it around, but I need to switch to audio when it is recharging (obviously I can't feel it when its plugged into the wall and sitting on the shelf). An old StarTAC phone of mine had a setting to toggle between vibrate and sound automatically when plugging in to power.
Is there anything like this for Windows Mobile, and specifically for the 8525? If there isn't, I may have to try to see if I can code this myself, but I thought I'd ask first...
Thanks for any help,

Try a search for Kyphur's Hold Comm Button Toggle program (or just "Kyphur", or other derivatives); it allows you to turn on/off the vibrate function by holding the comm button in once (to turn vibe on), then again to turn vibe off. Small pgm, works well, very little memory use. I know the search mechanism isn't perfect but even searching through the threads will work, which is how I found the program
Hope this helps
It sounds like your solution would be a profile switcher. There are programs out there that know to automatically switch profiles when you connect to the car/headset/usb/power...
I've found *MANY* programs that do this job and many people wanting a great way to do it. Am I the only one that can just hold down my Connections button to accomplish this task?
If it's in Ringer mode and I hold down the Connections button (the one that brings up the connections manager normally) for 2-3 seconds it will change to Vibrate mode. Hold it down another few seconds and it changes back to Ringer mode.
I can't possibly be the only one that knows this....
BTW I have an AT&T 8525 version of the Hermes/TyTN
Since the 8525 doesn't come with a paper manual you can bet that most people don't know this.
Bear in mind that a lot of these programs were not written for the 8525 specifically. Undoubtedly there is another PocketPC phone out there somewhere that doesn't have this feature -- though to be honest every one that I have ever used has had a button that you could hold down to toggle vibrate on/off.
Is there any shortcut for enabling or disabling bluetooth with just one click or button?
I am thinking of buying hands-free car set and I do not want to go to connection manager each time I get in or out of the car. Having bluetooth always on will drain too much battery...
Is there a way to change what longpress of hadrware button does, for example the buttons for answering and ignoring button?
I only use screen and power button, so making shortcut on other buttons would be great.
Thanks for answeres
Why not make a quick link short cut to the comm manager on your home screen?

Because after pressing DONE it doesnt close itself and you need to go to taskmanager and close it manally which becomes annoying when you have to do it few times
Man I wish I could help you out more but I don't use Bluetooth with a handsgree car kit so no experience to fall back on. I am thinking it is either a built in thing in the Windows Mobile that can allow auto detect of a car kit and auto disconnect, I think I remember reading you had to turn the Bluetooth off manually with it to though. I also think there is a couple of apps out there that might help you out. Maybe someone else can jump in and help you with this, sorry again man.

So why not? Make a desktop shortcut to BT switch, it's easy, just 4 taps in WinMobile.
