Download and install Advanced Configuration.
Click Menu then select More Settings and then select Comm Manager.
Here you can select what items you want in the comm manager.

Unfortunatley this comm manager tab does nothing on my HD (also reported by other useres).....used to work fine on Diamond etc.
Anyway, the obvious but long way round would be (translated from German ROM): Start>Settings>Phone>Band>GSM

I have the same problem. Any solution?
I get exactly the same problem. After searching maaaaaaany topics and forums it seems that band selection (3g-gsm switch) is managed by bandsel.exe or adminsettings.exe (in windows repertory). On HD you have neither of these. So on HD band selection is managed by another exe ... if someone can figure out witch exe it is, it should be quite easy to patch registry, in order to call this exe in comm manager.
hope you understood (I'm not very comfortable with english).
I have also tried to turn off 3G in the comm manager with no success. I like to turn it off most of the time as it saves battery when not having to search for a 3G signal. Has anyone found a way to disable 3G access on the HD, but leave GRPS enabled?
Try this Start -> Settings -> Phone -> Band -> choose GSM in the upper dropdown menu leave the other on auto.
With this setting you will have gsm and gprs/edge available but no 3G

Try going to
Start>Settings>Personal(tab)>Phone (Icon)>Band (Tab)
NB Some Roms do not show the Band Tab. However I'm pretty sure there are registry settings floating around here somewhere to get it to show up.

yes Mike
The advanced Config by Schap's can do this job.... it has a setting to enable the BAND page... just install the V3 of Advanced config and enable that setting...
Hope it works for you...

Use Advanced Config 3.3 to modify your comm manager for the items that you want.
I was able to add beam and 3G.

this was the first thing i tried. no luck! grayed...
It appears that if the PHONE setting is not displayed (the least useful switch if you ask me) then the DATA CONNECTIONS and 3G tabs will bevgreyed out an inaccessible.
Having said that, turning off data connection seems to be useless. It turns itself on the moment Opera or anything tries to access the net. I haven't tried it roaming yet but am going abroad next week so will update then.
I don't see the option in Advanced Config 3.3.
Any solution yet how to get 3G into the Comm Manager?
It's not in the regular options. Got to MENU (right soft key) then MORE SETTINGS then COMM MANAGER
Perhaps we need a 10 Button Manager
This is why it would be SOOOOO useful to have the old 10 button manager back from the Hermes days, just like the thread I started 14 Dec 08, but got no-where....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459270
Just wish Schaps or some one would be able to help out and create a new 10 button manager and resolve ALL our issues.
Thank you, but doesn't work for me also. I need an option to change 3G to GPRS...
Hi!
In order that it works 3G in CommManager it is necessary to add a few values in the register.
I detail the steps, if you want to do it.
To enable 3G I have replaced it with Direct Push option, because I do not use her, but it can be for any different.
First we change the option "Direct Push" for "3G":
You should accede to the key of the register "\HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager\4" and to change the value "AUTD" that appears in "(default)" for "3G".
Now we have to add two values in the register in order that on having clic in the CommManager on the option of 3G, it should change GSM to 3G:
You should accede to the key of the register "\HKLM\Software\OEM\UMTS" and to add the following values (DWORD):
"PrefDomain" value decimal "2"
"PrefRAT" value decimal "1"
Bye and good luck !
Sento
PD: I apologise for my english
ok guys, there is an easy way to do this as AllTheWay stated earlier. Simply use Advanced Config V3.3
Go to Menu (right soft key) > More Settings > Comm Manager and then simply choose which settings you want
See attached screenshot

Hello,
I've a problem with the Comm Manager. The problem is that i can't enable or disable the WLAN feature, it appears on "gray" color, so i can't select it. It seems like it that option was not available.
At least I can enable/disable the WIFI from the System -> Settings , wireless LAN configuration, but i would like to enable/disable it from the Comm Manager, like i have done before.
I tried to uninstall all applications since the last time it worked, but ... no results.
If someone has a idea about what i should do to repair this, please help me.
Here is a image with my problem.

As you can see, the WLAN option can not be selected.
Thanks and excuse my bad English.
Are these pictures from you or is it just an example? As these screenshots show activesync connection which will automatically disable wi-fi so what we can see there is perfectly allright...

The pictures are an example, but are just the same i see on my device screen.
So I don't understand, if ActiveSync is running I can't enable WLAN from the Comm Manager window, but i can enable it from the Wireless LAN Settings window. Is that right??
Thank you.
You can enable it, but it will immediately switch off. This is how it works on my device. If you want to use it, you must enable it on computer in AS/WMDC. But I don't see any advantage of it, because you already have internet via AS from computer.
Thank you both,
I will start to reinstall all the uninstalled programs.
if ActiveSync is running I can't enable WLAN from the Comm Manager window!
good! I SEE!
Hello all. Recently installed these cab files: Wifi Router and Comm Manager for 3G on/off. After the installation, the Wifi on/off key is now missing in the Comm Manager. I can use the WIFI Router program to turn WIFI on and off. But I prefer to use the Comm Manager because it is easier to reach. What registry changes do I need to make in order to show the WIFI on/off button in the Comm Manager? Thanks
I also had the same problem when I installed the com manager 3g toggle. I posted the problem regarding the US T-Mobile HD2 with that cab.
It replaces the 'wifi' toogle with the 3g toogle. In the non US T-Mobile HD2 it will replace the 'push mail' toogle.
I think you needed to do the extra steps to keep the 'push mail' option BEFORE installing the cab. The registry entries for it may be gone now. (I was lazy and just hard reset to get it back and haven't reinstalled the 3g toogle afterward.)
Click on the 3G tab, not the on off switch, and it brings up the wifi option on a screen by its self.
Not the best way, but it "Works"!!
It works; thanks for the tip. I can live with that for now instead of a hard reset. Much appreciated guys.
I have t-mobile US HD2 model and I am looking for the option to make the phone discoverable when switching on the bluetooth. How do I do it?

go into your comm manager and select Bluetooth in the next menu click on the gears and you will see where to make it discoverable.
In your settings folder is an icon for bluetooth, click that and it will ask you to turn on bt (click yes). On the following screen, just switch to the settings tab (the gears in the top left), the settings you're looking for are there.
EDIT: this is the same thing that quickdraw mcgraw up there () suggested, just a different path to get there.
