Anybody know, how to switch on/off GSM module by software?

Hi all,
I recently migrated from old Handspring Treo 180g (PalmOS smartphone)
to new MDA III and now, only one thing miss me, a little utility (called TreoTools), which was able control switch on/off of GSM module by a sheduling.
So i was able to shedule to turn off module everyday at midnight and turn on back 8:40am at workdays and 11:00am at weekends.
This greatly improvement battery life on that device.
PLEASE, does anybody know, if exists similar utility for MDA III ?
Thanks alot !

Hi,
I think this software will help you

Thank very much !
This utility works perfectly, but do only a radio off (as its names). Unfortunately this can't do a "tooggle", and when is radio already off, popups an error message.
OK, there is other utility, shipped with MDAIII, RestartRadio.exe to turn radio ON. Unfortunately, it needs to launch twice, when radio is off :evil: .
Code:
EDIT: Hey, i discovered, that RestartRadio.exe DO a radio togle !
Any idea, how with this two (now one) utilities do a daily shedule? Turn off at midnights, and mornigs turn ON? Some scheduler, that can launching .exe at specified time ?
Thx

I was were busy for last few days.
Want to thanx all, who tried to help me !!
I tryed these software utilities, and it seems, that PhoneSnooze work perfectly with MDAIII !!!! Thanx again.
P.S. i find yet another program for this task:
http://www.slipstreamsolutions.co.uk/products/mPhoneSchedule.htm
The difference between PhoneSnooze and PhoneShedule is, that PhoneShedule plays a sounds while phone is switched on/off (it is good to know, that phone going off or on) and can also switching power to BlueTooth !! But seem to be little unstabled. (maybe due WM2003SE)

could you post a link to restart radio.exe?

I tried an eval. version of mPhoneSchedule and although the interface is great and it looks quite a good program, I found the following serious problems.
-Does not schedule properly when phone power is off. Specifically I mean when the radio is on and the phone is sleeping, i.e nothing is on the screen it will not turn radio off. Seems a bit ridiculous. I am trying to save power, why would I want to require that the device be fully on to turn the radio off.
-Only will turn BT on/off with radio if you have Microsoft BT, not Broadcom.
I am still also searching for a tool that accomplishes this. Can anyone chime in on the review above. Does PocketZenPhone have the limitations above?

QuickGPS vs SeaSGEE

I've been using SeaSGEE instead of quickGPS for a few days - the GPS fix is now within seconds whereas on QuickGPS it could be minutes - in fact I just don't think QuickGPS had any effect at all on GPS performance!
One question though - SeasGEE has an option to automatically update, but I can't see anywhere in startup or similar that would be doing something automatic, and SeasGEE is basically running straight from its EXE - I don't have an installer that might have made some reg mods or something... and with all the new ROMS around, I haven't had one on long enough without a hard reset to know if the automatic update works! Any suggestions or info?

I think u're right. I'm using the B&B 4.2 for now, and it's really a good rom. I got a fix gps within 10 seconds if I let the A-GPS connecting to Orange server, but if I just use QuickGps, my fix is as long as on my P3600...
On my phone, in France, QuickGps is like a placebo :lol: it doesn't help to get a fix quicker.
Then I'm going to try with SeaSGEE, and I'll report.
Edit : I just tried SeaSGEE, and there is no change, fix still long. But A-GPS orange rocks.

Does that make my TomTom find GPS faster ?

In theory, yes.
In fact, it doesn't on my M650, rom BB 4.2. However, A-GPS from M650 helps to find the fix within 10 seconds.

SeaSGEE rocks!
SeaSGEE rocks for me... now i have a fix in seconds, and even while i'm driving it has a fix in seconds, where before it was a pain to get a fix while driving!
using a t-mobile MDA CIII with vanilla 2.0 rom from meschle

SeaSGEE is working very well for me as well; significantly better than QuickGPS ever did. For some reason QuickGPS started failing on downloads so I decided to give SeaSGEE a try and boy am I happy I did.

TomTom freak out
Hi there, ive installed SeaSGEE, and now when i open TomTom it cant find any map... and for some reason that enables mouse mode????
What the f*** is going on???

hmmmmm..... this look interesting.
Can someone post the link to SeaSGEE here??

So easy, copy the exe to your device, go to the folder, select SeasGEE.exe and copy. Paste shortcut. Cut shortcut and paste in folder \windows\startmenu\programs\
Then go to htc home, tab programs and select a free button, then select SeasGEE!

Thank you!

Hi all,
I tried again today, with nice weather, only sun
And... I got a fix in 30 seconds... With A-gps Orange, when it's raining, I got a fix in 10 seconds.
So, do you think SeaSGEE doesnt work as well because I got a SPV M650 (running on BB 4.2) ?

I think the accuracy of the ephemeridis depends on the country you're in. That's why in France QuickGPS and SeaSGEE do not work (and i've got a P3300).

I use QuickGPS with P3300 since one year (with wm5 the wm6) and no soucy... a fix in less 10 s.... with Tomtom or other GPS software (i use for example Bayo CartoExplorer)...

Hum then... Are you using QuickGPS or GPSRapide ? I suspect there is a difference between both of them, on the files they download. I use QuickGPS with B&B 4.2, and the first fix takes more like a minute than 10 seconds...

for me SeaSGEE works really good,
with QuickGPS i`ve got fix in about 30sec - 2minutes
now...with SeaSGEE i got fix in less then 10sec
tested on SPV M650 , Orange PL , Automapa 4.1.2

Does SeaSGEE have to be installed on the \Windows folder or it can be installed on the storage card?
I have it installed on the Storage Card - and works fine for me...!
but then how do I know it's not just the QuickGPS doing the work? Because that too updates automatically everytime I connect via activesync....
Where does it save the Downloaded file?

Updating HTC Weather over GPRS / 3G

Hello,
I just can't get updates of the weather plugin in HTC Home over a GPRS or 3G connection (and it remains connected to the network!) even though it works great with WiFi.
Anyone ever faced/solved this issue?
I'm using Faman's 4.0 FR
Thanks in advance

I've the same problem with:
lasagna 2.2.2
lasagna 3.0.5 full
mary 3.3.5
I think that the problem is not in a release but in the plugin, that don't use connection settings.
Bye, Manux

someone can help us??
i've this problem because the GPRS/3g connectione use a proxy server to go in internet.
Bye, Manux

i just update and turn off str8 away
not a problem with me

Hi,
You can deflag the automatic update.... in this case you can update it when you want...
BYE, Bobo

Thanks, but i'm looking for a way to force the plugin to use proxy setting in GPRS/3G/HSPDA connection.
bye, Manu

For what it's worth, I've got the same problem with the original HTC bios on a brand-new HTC-branded TyTN II. Has anybody figured out how to get around this problem?
Thanks,
Chris

Chris, few people use a proxy to go in internet, i believe that we can't solve our problem on HTC weather.
However i've found a solution using SPB weather.
So many thanks.
ManuX

For me it works sometime ! it's very weird because I though at the beginning that it's a proxy server problem but this is not logic since it's working for me right now !

Is it possible to change the network connection for Weather so it doesn't use my proxy access point but another (non proxy) internet connection?

How to get GPS working on Sprint Touch

Hi,
I am new to all this, can somebody guide me how do I get GPS working with local application on like TOM TOM or anything else on my Sprint Touch.
Thanks,

It all depends... Do you have WM6 or WM6.1 on your Touch? If you have WM6, you will first have to at very least update/change the ROM. There are numerous threads here about that, just try a search for it. If you are already running WM6.1 or a replacement ROM that has the GPS enabled, you most likely need to run an application that understands how to access the GPS to "turn it on" (TomTom does not know how to do this). There is a great tool called AstroGPSLauncher that you can get from this board that can do that for you and will then launch TomTom as well. WM and TomTom will need to be configured to use the GPS also but the settings for TomTom can be different depending on the version of TomTom you have. All of the info for this (and MUCH MUCH more) is available on this board, just look around.

Check the GPS section in my thread Touch Tips & Tricks, link in my sig.

Is it possible to run the 3.42.5 bell ROM and still use the GPS function on Sprint?
I don't have a problem using the internet and making phone calls, but GPS won't lock?
Thanks.

GPS in enabled with the new ROM and the program if configured will work with the GPS.

Sorry, but which program do I need to configure?
I set Live Search on COM4 and it never locks on with the Bell Rom.
Thanks

Orange touch HD + tomtom= no GPS device?

Hi,
I signed up a touch HD with orange UK yesterday. The first thing I did was to install TOMTOM on the machine. However, TOMTOM kept reporting no GPS device. If it finds the internal GPS receiver, then it is 20 minutes later. One thing I notice is that when TOMTOM is looking for the GPS receiver, there is something trying to connect to the internet.
I am sure I did everthing right as I was using this copy of tomtom on the touch diamond and it worked like a treat.
Did orange do anything to the GPS so people can only use their stupid orange map? If they did, is there any way that I can get the tomtom working?
Many thanks in advance.
Thank you for all your advice and the problem has been solved. Here are a few tips for people who have the same problem.
1. A-GPS can only make things worse, switch it off.
2. Update your quick-GPS data.
3. It seems that tomtom struggles to find GPS device on certain orange handset. If you are the unlucky one, try change your hand set with orange. If you don’t want to go through the trouble, open google map to locate satellite before open tomtom.
4. Debrand the handset.
5. Orange’s customer service is crap, stay away if you can

Have you tried updating QuickGPS in the programmes.
Also check A-GPS is disabled in windows settings.

Thanks, I have updated the quickGPS the first thing. I have the a-gps enabled, though it could help to locate the satallite.

I think it is recomended to be disabled.
Perhaps try it if you have not.

GPS always worked fine for me with the stock Orange ROM, that was with 1.14 though, I think they come with 1.19 now, it also works fine with all of the cooked ROMs I've tested. Perhaps the version of TomTom you have isn't fully compatible with the HD (I did notice you said it worked on the Diamond, but perhaps there's a hardware/software difference on the HD which stops it working.

I am happily have 3 navigation programs on my HD, Tomtom, iGO, Navigon
but I always prefer iGO

Hi Guys, Thank you for your reply.
For you who is using tomtom, which version are you using? I am using 7.48

Thanks all for your help. Disable A-GPS seems hlep a lot. I will try again today.
By the way, UK orange's customer service is what I call crap. I called them about the GPS last night and a idiot tell me that as far as I can make phone calls, my phone is fine.

Don’t blame them, that is way we are here.
My tomtom version is 7.915.9196, with latest UK and Ireland map v830.2307
but unfortunately it doesn’t support 7 point postcode system just accept 4 digit post code and in order to find the address you actually need to know name of the street as well. But I have iGO with 7PPC which it is fantastic.

830.207 works just fine with 7 digit postcodes, as have all maps for the last couple of years.

thanks for telling me.
ok now for everyone which already had tomtom without 7 digit postcode, do as I listed here:
01- Downloaded the file
www.tomtom.com/updates/great_britainpostal_all.zip
02- copy it into new folder (folder's name doesn't matter)
03- extract it.
04- click on setup.exe
05- choose "i agree" then click next.
06- choose Pocket PC (Windows CE)
07- choose install Tom Tom Great Britin Postcode then click next.
08- choose other location (Advanced)
09- choose Folder on the computer
10- select any folder you want
the software will generate a zip folder
after getting the zip folder move it to your SD card's Root
start TOM TOM you will be able to do a full 7 digit postcode search.

link not working for me?
can some one try it and report working or not
thanks

I often get the 'GPS device not found' error on my Orange HD also. A quick fix I've found is to run Google Maps first and lock onto a GPS signal in there, before opening TomTom. Seems to 'solve' the problem for now...

it shouldn't be like that, when I had Stock ROM on my HD I used to had similar problem beside long waiting time before tomtom finds signal (about 15 ~ 20s) but after flashing HD with Custom ROM every problem is gone, now it finds signal in less than 5 second

Exactly what I was going to say.. I had the same problem with mine running 7.9something. If you run google maps in the backgroungd it almost jump started the gps. I have also found that once you get a gps signal it seems to keep it easier..... dunno if thats just hopeful. Oh yes and I am on Orange too stock rom.
