Need Bluetooth toggle software

I am posting this again as my earlier message has been deleted (by accident, of course)
Occasionally when I want to activate bluetooth by clicking on the
system tray (bluetooth settings icon), it takes about 30-40 seconds
for it to come up. I am not sure why.
This problem is inherited to PZP and PBT as well.
Plus I have some problems with PZP and PBT, so I want to avoid them.
Anyone has a simple application that can turn BT off/on toggle?
Some small EXE will do. Appreciate if you can share this with us.

Bluetooth Tools is probably the app you're looking for.
If you do a search you'll find a link to it in here.
Cheers
Anthony

As I said, I am trying to avoid PBT (POCKET BLUETOOTH TOOLS) due to its problems as highlighted in previous discussions.
i hope someone has a simple EXE to switch BT on/OFF

hey mate,
if you're using tdlaunch or an app which allows you to put shortcuts on your today screen; then you can use this...see attached. it's the link to the bluetooth app of the pocket pc; it's still the same app as the one on the bt icon opens but it might work faster for you as compared to clicking the one on the tray. hope that helps.
cheers

Thanks Rob, but unfortunately the delay of 30-40 seconds is still there even when I use your link.
I am still puzzled by this delay.

I have exactly the same problem on my m-1000, I have tried three different ROMs, and it still occasionally takes a while before the blueotth screen pops up. It is really annoying as it is not another piece of software causing it, as I have tried a hard reset and used it with no other software installed and it still kept hanging for 30 seconds or so. If anyone can find the cure I will make a hefty donation to this site as this problem is really irritating!!! :evil:

Bluetooth Toggles
Exclusive order is ready!
PM me when it stops working e.g. trial expiration
Bind with hotkeys to achieve fastest speed (Settings->Butons)

I can't seem to get it to work Winhex.
Actually I installed the program 2 days ago but
I forgot to try it (a phone call came in just after I installed
it and I forgotten about it altogether).
Is it because it's expired? How long is the trial period anyway?
Sorry I could not test it for you.
BTW why did you put an expiration trial?
Are you going to sell it?
After findus has made his/her 'hefty donation', would you
make it available for all of us for free?
Cheers

I haven't tested it yet either, will do this weekend unless the expiration date has been and gone. Thank you for your hard work in advance though. Out of interest, I take it you intend to sell this software after it has been tested- how much were you thinking of?
John Smith - I said I would make a donation to this site - I have been a member for a couple of months now and I haven't donated yet, so I thought it would be a good opportunity. If the person who has spent time designing their own application wants to charge for it, then that is their right surely! I know we would all rather have things for free, as there is a load of free useful software on this site, but still...!

Total beginner, advice needed

Hi all.
Just found this forum completly by accident, but damn, I'm glad I did!
However, there is such a wealth of inofrmation on here, I'm finding it tricky to filter out what I need at my level, so I thought I'd ask a couple of questions.
I have an Orange SPV M5000 that I have done nothing to except install some apps on it. I know there are rom upgrades available, including an official one from Orange. What is the best one to go for, and what exactly does it change? I've seen some posts regarding speeding up the speed in which the screen can rotate, but not noticed any posts on the speed of answering, which does seem slow on my M5000, especially if it's closed as I have to wait for the screen to come on, then rotate, and finally bring up the phone app before I can talk, will it help this?
What does the radio upgrade do? Is it a valuable upgrade or just a slight performance increase?
If I do any rom upgrades, will I need to do a complete re-install and setup from scratch?
What other things should I consider doing to generally increase the whole smartphone thing?
Thanks in advance for any help, there seems to be loads of people on here that have some valuable knowledge!

Info to find info about your device.
ooooh dude, you got a lot to learn....
I will try to answer your questions.
I have done nothing to except install some apps on it.
THIS IS GONNA CHANGE, THE MORE YOU HOLD IT, THE MORE YOU INSTALL, THE MORE YOU INSTALL THE MORE YOU REALISE YOU DIDNT REALLY NEED IT.
I know there are rom upgrades available
THEY ALL HAVE AN UPGRADE RELEASED NOW.
What is the best one to go for
I THINK IMATE OR O2 ARE GENERALLY ACCEPTED. I USE IMATE. IF YOU CHANGE FROM ORANGE, YOU WILL BREACH YOUR WARRANTY.
what exactly does it change?
IT SHOULD SPEED UP THE ENTIRE OPERATION OF THE DEVICE, SPEED UP THE ANSWERING OF THE PHONE, AND SPEED UP THE SCREEN THE ROTATION, IN FACT, EVERYTHING SHOULD BE FASTER, SMOOTHER AND MORE EFFICIENT.
THE RELEASE ACTUALLY PROVIDES PUSH EMAIL, SUCH THAT YOU CAN HAVE ALL OF YOUR EMAIL PUSHED/SENT TO YOUR DEVICE, RATHER THAN HAVING TO PRESS SEND/RECEIVE TO PULL THE EMAIL TO YOUR DEVICE.
BATTERY, BLUETOOTH AND RECEPTION RANGE IS ALSO BETTER.
speed of answering,
IT WILL SPEED UP YOUR ANSWERING, BUT THE BEST WAY IS TO DISABLE THE PHONE PAD THAT USES THE VIDEO CALLING FUNCTION, IF YOU DONT USE IT, DO A SEARCH AND CHANGE THE REGISTRY TO DISABLE THE PHONE PAD THAT USES VIDEO CALLS. IF YOU DO USE THE PHONE VIDEO CALL FEATURE, THEN THERE ISNT MUCH YOU CAN DO.
which does seem slow on my M5000, especially if it's closed as I have to wait for the screen to come on, then rotate, and finally bring up the phone app before I can talk, will it help this?
NOT IF YOU CONTINUE TO MAKE SO MANY STEPS, WHY DONT YOU JUST PRESS THE GREEN BUTTON ON THE HINGE WITHOUT OPENING THE DEVICE. OR ARE YOU CALL SCREENER? I ANSWER ALL MINE IF I CAN, SO I DONT NEED TO SEE WHO IS CALLING.
OTHER OPTION, LEAVE IT OPEN ALL THE TIME, AND DONT CLAM CLOSE IT.
ALSO, EXTEND THE PERIOD OF YOUR RINGING, SO THAT INSTEAD OF 10 SECONDS, EXTEND IT TO 30 SECONDS, IT WILL GIVE YOU MORE TIME TO ANSWER IT.
What does the radio upgrade do? Is it a valuable upgrade or just a slight performance increase?
IT IMPROVES RECEPTION, RANGE, QUALITY, AND SPEED OF ANSWERING. THE NEW ROM HAS THIS UPGRADE ANYWAY.
If I do any rom upgrades, will I need to do a complete re-install and setup from scratch?
YES, EVERYTHING IS TOTALLY WIPED OUT, SO SYNC YOUR DATA, COPY EVERYTHING TO AN SD CARD, AND NUKE IT TO START AGAIN.
What other things should I consider doing to generally increase the whole smartphone thing?

This should give you enough reading, enough background knowledge, enough to be dangerous, but not enough for life to collapse around you.
If you need any more information in relation to your questions, ask.

Thanks loads for this, it's just the kind of response I was after!
I shall wade throught the links you've provided shortly, and I shall take the plunge with the rom upgrade soon too.
Thanks again for taking the time to answer everything, I shall lurk with renewed vigor.

Hi,
Recently purchased my M5000 and found the wealth of information in this thread very helpful.
Thanks!!
Matt

glad to help, i believe in the boomerang model, hope you guys do to.

Just bought an MDA Pro so wanted to find this post easily again

Help Greatly Appreciated: Phone cuts off. Possible power or WM6 problem.

I used to own a T Mobile MDA Compact 3 which I believe is the same as the Artemis.
The phone worked fine for me over the 18 months I had it. However I've since sold this phone on ebay and the buyer has reported a problem where it keeps cutting off via email.
I don't know if he's pulling a fast one or if this is a genuine problem. If it is a genuine problem how do I fix it? Any help would be appreciated.
The only problem I've had with the phone is a screen problem on it in January and went back to T Mobile for repair. They sent it back with a replaced screen and WM6 on it which the buyer is saying is likely to be the cause of the power cut outs.
If it is WM6 does anyone know how to downgrade the device back to WM5? Any help appreciated.
Rather than paraphrase his emails I'll just list them in order received:
Email 1 received:
"hi.. this phone keeps switching off compeletely. each time i have to restart. sometimes its after 10mins other times its later. do you still have any warranty on it? if so can you post me paperwork and i can possibly have it repaired. if not then its faulty. it just keeps randomnly switching itself off. ive tried hard resets. even downloaded latest roms from tmobile website for compact 3 but still no success. ?? only other thing i can try is reinstalling windows mobile....."
I asked him for the link used to download the rom:
Email 2:
"tmobile direct.. under support and software.. i worked for 02 providing data support on pdas for 7 years and now own a 60 seater call centre in manchester and sell consumer and business mobile phones.. look at my feedback. ive bought and sold many pdas. im familar with them. backlight and power settings are unticked. it just completely shuts down. same as would when you would when you do a soft reset. after a hard reset the only thing you can really do is make sure the latest rom or software is installed. its an intermittent problem and i cant replicate it all the time. when it does it just switches off completely. no error messages at all. on standby it fine. its when your using the phone, any application or even on the internet. did wm6 come with the phone or did you install this yourself. ive noticed wm6 is not available on this model by tmobile. they have taken it off their websites.. ive used wm5 and have never experienced problems with them. if wm6 was an upgrade do you have wm5"
Email 3:
"i will try another battery as i have more mda compact 3's... if it works with another battery. no probs. i'll keep it. if it doesnt then i will have no option but to return as its faulty. could well be the battery if you have used it for about 18mths.. will keep you posted. thanks"
Email 4:
"i have done a little more testing and here is a problem that i can replicate every 5-10 mins.. the phone itself if not used does not switch off. its when its used that i have the problem. i have noticed in the about section the phone originally came with WM5. so maybe its the WM6 that is not fit for the phone? WM6 is not available and not supported on this model by Tmobile. Anyway. if i log onto to the internet via gprs and am physically browsing after a few mins the phone will reboot itself and switch off. so if im on the internet but not actually browsing and have just a gprs session active, the phone is fine. its only when i am actually browsing a site - it can be any randomn sites its not linked to any one site.. regards bash - hope the above makes sense.."
Email 5:
"i still have not had chance to try with a different battery but when i do i will let you know. i dont think you are a rip off merchant at all. im just letting you know the problems i am experiencing. its not just the internet. its also when i use my own 3rd party software which i use on other mdas orbits and spvs and works totally fine. i will speak to tmobile in the morning and see if i can get wm5 off them as i think its related to wm6. if the battery or wm5 does not fix it then i will have no choice but to return it. will keep you posted. regards"

bump.
Any help really appreciated.

I have the very same problem here !!!!
Dont think its the battery because it started from one moment to another with a FULL battery

I had the same problem with my phone turning off during use for no reason even when the battery was showing it was charged.
I replaced my battery and all seems to be OK now.

[Q] I'm on my last nerve with this TP2! help!!

Hey guys, i haven't ever really posted on here other than when i first got my TP2 months ago. Since then i have had 9 replacements for various things, all of which have been hardware related. Things like constant freeze-ups, always telling me i have un-read messages when i don't...anywhere. and some others but those two are the main ones. So i am asking you guys what do i need to do to stop myself from body slamming this phone across my living room? Every single phone i get has the un-read message problem. And after about a month of use they all constantly freeze. I can't stand having to do literally 8+ battery pulls a day because the phone doesn't want to work anymore.
Any ideas? What ROM are you guys all running and what seems to be the most stable? I have never upgraded a ROM before so i have no idea what i am doing there as i have always been a MAC user. However, i do have access to a PC. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Another thing it does is when i get a call or text the phone will vibrate non stop until i turn it off and restart it. This also happens 2-3 time daily.

What version of TP2 -- e.g, T-Mo USA, Verizon, World-Wide/Euro -- do you have?

The things that you mention are not hardware problems but software. So they can be solved by flashing a new rom. I suggest you read the how to flash for noobs thread.
Try a valkyre rom and read the last pages of that thread to see if there are issues etc

A new ROM may very well help sort out your problems, but the excessive problems you have been having make one wonder if there is not some other issue. So before you go to flashing a new rom, it might be a good idea to do some troubleshooting first to try and narrow down the problem.
First, a few questions:
1)What UI are you using? (i.e., Touchflow 3d, Sense, SPB Mobile Shell, Titanium, Classic today?)
2) What programs are you installing?
3) Are you doing any registry edits? Or using custom programs that do registry edits for you? (Things like configuration tools that you installed)
While answering the questions may shed some light on why you are having problems, here is the first thing I would try that could help narrow down the issue:
1) Dissable any custom UIs (start -> settings -> today -> items tab -> select Windows default -> hit OK) then soft reset your phone. Use it for a day and see if any of the problems go away, then report back.
I've got some other ideas, but will hold out on those until looking at your responses to the others above... good luck.

Hey guys and thanks for the replies. I am on a Verizon TP2. Running the stock HTC Sense ROM that came on my last replacement. I do not have anything custom running on the phone and only have 2 apps on the phone itself (facebook and personal assistant). I have given up putting them on there since i have been replacing the phone so often. Problems are still happening.
Thoughts?

Have you tried yet dissabling sense and running for a day to see if there are any improvements? If that doesn't work, I would move on to a hard reset, then disable Sense, and see if it is better. If it was, I would re-enable sense and dissable the email and sms tabs and see....
Meanwhile, I would also be reading the newbie guide to flashing new roms... as it is really odd to be seeing these sorts of problems with nothing installed on the phone.
I am correct that you haven't installed the facebook and personal assistant programs since your last hard reset? I only ask because the product description for the personal assistant looks like it is somewhat invasive into your phone (i.e., it can track minute use and such) and could possibly be the culprit for some or even most of your issues...

ur previous statement says your a mac guy. what a re you doing with a windows phone? thats just a recipe for disaster.....
try flashing to an NRG rom. I personally have been using cookie energy for months and never had any problems. this may be a lil too complicated for a "mac" user tho.

[Q] Problems after upgrading to Gingerbread

Hey guys
I am really desperate and would do whatever it takes to sort out those issues or at least some of them!
My DHD was 2.2 and then the upgrade for 2.3 was available, the official one, so I downloaded it and upgraded my phone. It's not rooted, nor do I know what that is. Yes, I'm really that clueless when it comes to android devices. So anyway, after the upgrade, I encountered a problem where the phone cannot differentiate between two similar numbers and would receive phone calls and messages from both contacts as if they were from one person. The phone keeps asking me if I want to link the two numbers and I always say no, yet this didn't solve it. I tried deleting them and saving them again, but no luck! so I asked around and someone suggested that I format the device and and delete the names and save them again.
I did that and it just caused me more problems!! -_- The battery does not last longer than 9 hours with regular use and 12 hours with no use at all (when I'm sleeping), before the format it lasted for more than 21 hours with regular use and more than an entire day when I'm not using it that much. another problem is that now, the wifi signal is much worse than it used to be! You will ask, are there any applications running in the background? no there aren't! I changed the settings to the way it used to be before formatting the device.
Guys, if anyone can help me, it's going to be you!! Please help me This is really driving me crazy!!
and one last thing, I have a lot of numbers that are exactly the same except for one digit difference! more than 10 and those numbers are for people that I contact a lot, so you can see how this is such a pain in the butt!
I would really appreciate it if someone would give me a suggestion or a solution!! Thank you so much in advance!!
