HTC P3300 queries - P3300, MDA Compact III General

- i can not see any option to set profiles (general,silent,office etc..)
-i have set 'make my phone visible' checkbox enable everytime i switch off and switch on blueooth. i guess it shud be one time setting
- my headset (which functions very well with other phones) works intermittently with my mobile.. connections goes on and off...

if you want profiles then use SPB Phone suite
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/phonesuite/?en

its not free but..

try the trial and maybe you wanna buy it then.

how abt this query...

The visible option is only intended to make your device visible for pairing to another BT device. Once it is paired you no longer need to make it visible that's one the visible check box is cleared once the unit is paired.
PS. I also use SPB Phone Suite for my profiles. Very nice software and well worth the money.

WM2005: Problem Resolution Center is HERE!!!

Wassup All,
This thread is dedicated to problem resolution. So if you have a prob let us know. And for those who know how to fix the problem post your solution here and let everyone be happy!
BTW, here is a set of solutions for:
1) those whose WM5 lockups during the night (haven't had this for a week or so after applying the following):
a. Make sure your Today Items are compatible with WM5 (disable suspicious items by unchecking Settings->Today->Item name box);
b. Disable HKCU\Control Panel\Phone\Sleep by putting 0 value;
2) those whose GPRS connection drops when putting/receiving a call:
a. Make sure your HKLM\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\SuspendResume contain ~GPRS! value
b. Power off your device after 5sec of GPRS connection establishment
c. Try to place/recv a call
3) those whose Bluetooth over ActiveSync have stopped working unexpectedly:
a. Make sure your desktop PC have at least one network adapter enabled (if you have no adapters you may install MS Loopback software adapter from network adapters section of hardware installation wizard)
b. On your PPC, check ActiveSync->Connections->Syncrhonize all PCs using this connection box
4) those who have dual sim card and changing of cards using flight mode off/on takes so much time:
a. Whenever you need to change sim card start Wireless Modem application, choose Irda from the drop list and tap Start. Then tap Stop and close Wireless Modem. Now you can turn off flight mode in much faster way.
5) Caller ID filter to be used during the night or busy sessions:
a. Assign a ringtone to VIP contact using Contacts->Ringtone
b. Find any silent wave/wma/mp3 file and place it to \windows or \windows\rings folder
c. When you need to receive only VIP calls choose this silent audio file from your Phone->Options->Ringtone drop list
6) To disable automatic repeat of reminder:
Set "0" to HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Reminders\AutoSnooze\AutoSnoozeMins value
7) To enable MMS reception:
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=142617
Re: WM5: Problem Resolution Center
Is there anybody who progressed with ArcSoft MMS/Inbox integration?
This thread is an excellent idea. Here are a few questions/issues I am facing with WM5.
- The Alram Bug is back My alarms don't ring. Sometimes they ring once and instead of repeating, like they are supposed to, they just go back to sleep. They will only continue when i turn on the phone (whever that may be).
- ActiveSync is always running on the PPC. If I kill it manually, it comes back after a while.
- Can I hide the BT icon in the system try? Can I control the display (hide/unhide) the system tray?
- Can i customize the soft buttons (Phone, Contacts) at the bottom? i.e. assign other programs to those buttons and change the label?
- Camera and record hardware buttons do't work. This has been widely reported and I believe its under investigation.

In your particular case let's try the following: while your system is powered (power off value does not turn off your device) a set of automatic snoozes will be performed and each snooze will prolong time of power-off.
So, change HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Reminders\AutoSnooze\AutoSnoozeMins to a value less than the value of system Power Off.
Example of alarm that repeats every 2 mins on a system that suppose to power-off after 3 mins of idleness:
a. Set up value of Power off (Settings->System->Power->Advanced->Turn off device if not used for) to 3 mins
b. Set the registry value to 2 mins
- Can I hide the BT icon in the system try? Can I control the display (hide/unhide) the system tray?
Click to expand...

You can control appearance of the icon by moving \Windows\Startup\BTIcon.lnk file to and from \Windows\Startup\ folder. Example, I want tray icon so I leave the file in \Windows\Startup\ folder. Now I don't want tray icon so I move \Windows\Startup\BTIcon.lnk file to a different place and soft-reset my device to get the changes take effect. Moving operations can be performed using Windows Explorer (Cut function)
- Can i customize the soft buttons (Phone, Contacts) at the bottom? i.e. assign other programs to those buttons and change the label?

Place path and name for your applications at the value 1 of HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCProg and HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSContacts registry branches.
Here is an example of starting calculator when pressing Contacts button:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSContacts\1 = calc.exe OR \windows\calc.exe
WARNING! Changing of CProg branch will lead to remap of your Green Phone Button too.
ActiveSync is always running on the PPC. If I kill it manually, it comes back after a while.

I also noticed that and changed many reg values so don't remembler what helped. First try to uncheck this checkbox "ActiveSync->Connections->Syncrhonize all PCs using this connection" when not using activesync and soft-reset your device to see if it helps. Let me know on your progress pls.

Within TTN5.1 i can select the BTGPS correctly on com4.
It identifies itself as the BTGPS.
I'm not using "New Outgoing Port" or "New Incomming Port"
because i'm not sure if this is necessary.
If it's necessary, what port must I use?
Can the settings done by the TomTom5patch be reversed and how?

How do i disable Infrared on the Himalaya?
How do i disable BT within TomTom?
My main issues seem to be

Automatic disconnect is known feature of Pocket Bluetooth Tools it automatically disconnects after 1 minute of BT inactivity. As I remember you can stop this feature by taping on clock icon at your today so your clock icon should not have white color but should be grey. Warning!

Sorry don't have TT & BT GPS. Haven't you tried Settings->GPS Wizard for setting up your GPS?
0) Pair your GPS using serial profile
1) Set COM9 to Settings->GPS->Programs tab->"GPS program port:"
2) Set COM0, if not using ActiveSync over BT, or COM1, if using AS over BT, to Settings->GPS->Hardware tab->"GPS hardware port:"
3) Make sure your Settings->GPS->Access tab->"Manage GPS automatically" is checked
4) Open your TT and select COM9 in your device configuration window
OR
0) Pair your GPS using serial profile
1) Select your device through Settings->Connection->Bluetooth->Com Ports->New Outgoing Port->Your GPS Device
2) Tap Next
3) Select any port under "Port:", e.g. COM8
4) Open your TT->GPS Device Configuration->Select Com8
Try to check if your GPS works... if not, continue with the following:
4.1) Open Settings->GPS Wizard, Assign hardware com port to COM8 (Hardware tab) and Assign program com port to COM9 (Programs tab), check the "Manage GPS automatically" in Access tab
4.2) Select COM9 in your TT.
Good Luck! ;-)

Registry Settings -> Software Settings
Dear All,
Please pay attention that after making changes, installing new software or doing your usual software settings it is advisable to power off your device before soft-resetting.
Example, I recently setup my Inbox mail accounts and soft resetted my device in a usual way. After a soft reset I found out that none of my accounts was actually kept. So, I did setup again, powered off my device and soft-resetted it. After soft-reset all mail accounts were saved and were workable
Solution for TomTom51/WM2005/BlueTooth problems
Hi all,
I think I've found a solution.
TTN5 works for me perfect now, but when I activate the
compass so it will display itself on the navigation screen,
then the GPS is lost (and found again) about every minute.
When I deactivate the compass, there is no problem at all!
So, try this and let me know if this solves your problem.

Quick way to turn off wifi?

Has anyone got any good idea for setting up a quickly-accessible shortcut for turning the wifi connection on or off?
There's CommManager button on the keyboard that leed you to WiFi and other connections. I'm on the SPB Mobile Shell3. Try it and you find out that there can be everything you imagine on the screen. So have Wireless Manager right in fron of me.
Dan
Thanks - I hadn't noticed that.
Interesting that you're choosing to use SPB Mobile Shell 3 instead of TouchFlo - I was thinking of doing the same myself.
TF3D is definitely not bad and this last release is good. But MS3 is awesome, using this already since times of Kaiser. There is much more freedom and operativness with MS3. Worth of trying at least...

Have set long press on the "phone" key to Comms Manager, then you can twiddle wi-fi to your heart's content!
This program works great just one click on or off
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-aktogglewifi.html
This is one of the issues that I'd like to solve as well. One of the great capabilities of Nokia Symbian OS is that you can directly press on a bookmark for example and it will pop up a menu asking you to choose the way you want to connect (GPRS, WIFI access point, WAP, ...)
You just choose from it and there you go! Once you close the browser or the application that requires the internet connection it automatically stops wifi!
I find this setup great and it makes things much easier. Any way we can have such a setup on our beloved TP2?

That's affirmative!
The util, a great util by the way, is written for the Xperia, which has a WM bluetooth stack.
The Rhodium has a WidComm BT stack, so that's the only part that won't work.

Bluetooth Schedule Time

I am wondering if it's possible to schedule to turn Bluetooth on and off at specific times of the day, automatically on our Rhodium
Does anyone know of this is possible?
It's not a freebie, but I use SpbPhoneSuite to provide different "profiles". These can be used to turn on/off bluetooth and can also be configured to activate based on time or other triggers (e.g. during an appointment, when cradled, etc.).
As this is primarily a Today Plugin, I've used "Second Today", which gives me a separate today screen (aside from TouchFlo) which I use to access PhoneSuite and change profile if I need to do it manually.
I had a licence for PhoneSuite from my previous phone, so I didn't care about the cost.
Ed
I found G-Profiler. Free and alot of config.
BUT... The Bluetooth part dont work.
I've found the reg key for BT on the Rodium:
HKLM\system\state\hardware\
bluetooth=8 is the value for off
bluetooth=9 is the value for on
I havn't found the place to put that value in G-Profiler.
But it's possible to call a prg instead. Mortscript to change this reg-value?
Is this the easiest way? I've had this problem in other prg aswell, so i'd like to know.
Thanks for your replt, however I read that HTC switched from the WM BT-stack, to the WidComm BT-stack and SPB Suite will no longer control BT as we would expect.
Any other ideas?

[Q] Bluetooth Discoverablility

Is there a way to keep bluetooth discovery mode on all the time?
I am aware that this will effect the battery, and that pairing with a device should allow it to connect automatically. In my case, what I need to connect to does not.
I've been searching online but can not find a good answer, other than this is possible in newer android versions. So I don't have my hopes up.

Tasker Bluetooth connected Profile not triggering

I have a Tasker Profile which should be activated based on a Bluetooth state - i.e. when connected to my car Bluetooth system. When creating the Profile I used a search to locate the correct Bluetooth device from the list. The problem is that this profile is not being activated when the phone is connected to the car Bluetooth system - the Tasker notification just says that there is no active profile.
I've tried adding both the Bluetooth device name and address using the Search function, and I've also left both the name and address blank to see if the Profile can be triggered by connecting to any Bluetooth device, but the Profile never gets triggered. Has anyone else had any success triggering a Bluetooth Connected Profile on their G4?
I'm running Tasker 4.7m on a rooted LG G4 TWN model (Android 5.1).
The Tasker Profile definition is below:
Profile: In Honda (17)
State: BT Connected [ Name:JVC Unit Address:00:10:601:AC:20/00:10:601:AC:20 ]

A few things to try, in no particular order...
Bluetooth hardware address is optional, try it without.
Select the Bluetooth name using the magnifying glass, to avoid typing errors.
Is the JVC unit always discoverable? (ie: broadcasting its name for tasker to see).
Are you giving the profile enough time to fire, according to either the screen on or screen off monitor values?
According to Bluetooth Connected help page, tasker only detects the act of connection or disconnection, but not the state of being connected.
Let us know how you get on... Good luck!

Thanks for the suggestions. I did use the Search function to populate both the device name and address. I also tried specifying name only, and even leaving both blank (to test for any bluetooth device being connected, but none of these options worked.
The JVC Unit does seem to be discoverable - i.e. it always shows up when I scan for bluetooth devices. This problem isn't limited to the one unit however - I also can't get the profile to activate with the Parrot unit in my wife's car, or with a Sony MW600 headphone adapter.
Re. giving the profile enough time to fire - could you please elaborate on where I need to specify the appropriate values for this? (or do you mean am I waiting long enough? - in which case the answer is yes, I've waited 30 minutes after watching the unit connect to the JVC unit in the car!)
I just tried a different test. I created a simple profile with a single context of "BT Status on". I then turned off Bluetooth on the phone, turned it back on, and waited a few minutes. My new profile never activated. It seems that Tasker is completely blind to changes of Bluetooth state on my phone

You're definitely waiting long enough! See tasker preferences > monitor > display on monitoring, and display off monitoring. Tasker's help file explains how the values work.

Other things to try:
Watch out for battery savers, task killers, memory cleaners, background service freezers, phone boosters unwittingly killing Tasker.

you mentioned the tasker notification, but do you have "Run in Foreground" checked within the preferences? if you do not, then most likely the bluetooth trigger will not work.
I did have both Clean Master and Greenify installed, but have now uninstalled both of them and I still get the same problem. At this point I'm monitoring only for "BT Status On", but Tasker is not triggering my profile when I turn on Bluetooth (and wait for a few minutes).
I do also have the "Run in foreground" option set.

Did you ever figure out what the problem is? I'm seeing the same behavior. I can't get my Profile to activate when I connect my bluetooth headset.
I tried forgetting my bluetooth and re-adding it, no luck.
I'm currently on Marshmallow 6.0.1 on a Nexus 6 and Tasker v4.8
It turns out that the version Tasker that I purchased from the Amazon app store was not legitimate. I got a refund from Amazon, repurchased it from the Play Store, and now I don't have the problem

Thank you very much. I downloaded a "mod" version and it didn't work until I downloaded from Play Store
