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.

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

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?
I have installed smaberg's action screen:

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.

The following applications do not work with this version:
SlingPlayer for WM5 smartphone (Can't connect)
Tornado PowerControl (OMAP errors out)
What applications don't work for you?
-TXTman can't capture sms
-AE Button Plus broke "end call" key when i remapped it to end programs
-Replacing IE_Short.lnk with task manager command causes internet explorer to open simultaneously with task manager
yeah no threaded sms programs will catch the messages. that's my only gripe right now.

What part of it isn't working for you? I managed to get it loaded and connected to the network. No emails seem to be coming through for me though

I've run an Application Unlock on my S620 and I've managed to install Blackberry Connect but, like you, not getting any mail.
I've given up and gone back to the German WM5 rom. After a couple restarts of the device, the blackberry connet top banner doesn't even show up on homescreen anymore!
I'll wait till rim gets their act together on WM6.
J
Hmm...I am going to give this another try.
I realized that I couldn't get emails on my device, even after putting the WM5 rom back on, because I hadn't sent a "service book" from rim's blackberry site. That did the trick. Gonna, reload WM6 and give it a shot!
J
Bah, no luck getting this thing to connect or run reliably let alone get emails...
how do i go back to my original .. windows mobile 5...
if anyone is using WM6 on the Dash...
could you please tell me if they fixed the bug that automatically changes your profile to "headset" when you connect a bluetooth handsfree headset.
and if it does change it to "headset" automatically could you please tell me if you are able to change your profile to "normal" while the bluetooth headset is still connected
Thanks in advance

Someone would have to consider that a bug first. I think more than 99% of the people using a bluetooth headset would want the phone to switch to headset profile automatically. Call me silly, but...

well yeah it would seem that way but when i have my bluetooth headset connected... sometimes i want my phone on silent/vibrate and other times i want it to play sounds, and i hate having to go and edit the headset profile manually to do this, just changing the profile would be a lot more convenient.
I use my wired headset to play music then set the profile to normal.
Does this not work the same way when using a BT headset?

no for bluetooth, you can't change your profile unless you disconnect the headset
I noticed that none of the MSN pre-installed software that was part of WM5(MSN IM, Hotmail access, etc) is on this version. When I attempt to set up my messaging to receive hotmail, I get an error stating: "could not find pmsnlauncher". I've looked around and found a download of the pocketMSN software, but it must be 'activated' for ~$20. It does mention (msn website), however, that if the software is 'pre-installed' no activation is necessary. This leads me to believe that the MSN software is simply not part of the BETA rom.
Anyone else notice this? Any thoughts?
msn is now windows live.

uhhh... tpc works just fine for me... i'm using 2.0 beta 4 of tpc, but other versions should probably work as well. make sure your phone is completely app unlocked, or you will have problems. that includes the 0000101b policy entry in the registry.
i'm the creator of tpc, so if you have questions about it feel free to message me.
does "right menu" work on WM6?

Hi all
I wonder if it would be possible to add the wifi and BT to Today plugin and be able to turn BT/wifi on and off with a single tap?
wifi etc
search fo batterystatus. it can do it

Thank you
I been using batterystatus for sometimes but it cant add Wifi/BT to today plugin
There's an extended version of that program that's still in beta that will allow you to add the BT/Wi-Fi onto the Today screen.
this is from the wiki page, tested it on my Artemis and it works:
By just adding following keys to the registry will get you a nice 'wireless' today item that show Network name/status, WiFi name/status as well as Bluetooth status. Confirmed to work on AKU2 ROMs
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Wireless"]
"DLL"="netui.dll"
"Order"=dword:00000000
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"Type"=dword:00000004

Thanks for the tip. Anyway to improve it say with buttons that could activate the WiFi and Bluetooth?
You could also put the HTC Homeplug on the Today-screen. With the Commanager you can easily switch on WIFI, BT and other things. It would take 2 clicks to turn WIFI or BT on or off then
Also SBP Pocket Plus would be able to do the trick. With that program you can pin programs to your todayscreen.
Ive had an O2 Orbit for a few months now, and have to say its the best phone ive ever owned, I used to own an XDA Mini S.
However just a few questions.
1) My wifi disconnects all the time, literally withing 1-2 mins of connecting to the wifi, I have no idea why its doing it, DCHP is set up manually, and im using a Belkin N1.
2) Im using No Data to stop the GPRS from connecting when IE opens accidently in my pocket and ends up costing me £7 a month in bloody errors! But i was wondering with GPRS stopped will I not know if someone has sent me an MMS?
3) Is there a decent Music player that will play music off the network, at the moment TCPMP is the only one that works, but its interface does not really apply well to song playback.
4) Another annoying thing! It appears when I turn the screen off, it seems to disconnect the wifi (although that could be more 1 related), and also turns off the sound, so it means I have to have the screen on in my pocket if i want to listen to music!
Sorry for the multiple questions!
WIFI could be a number of things.....most important thought what ROM are you running? Are you still plugging along with WM5, If you are I strongly suggest you give Tom Codon's Black and Blue Version 3 a spin. This will probably resolve a couple of your issues and is rock solid stable.
IIRC having GPRS stopped won't stop notification of an MMS, I'm sure you will receive a standard SMS message to alert you that you have a message waiting for download, you will need to re-enable your GPRS to download it.
I use Pocket Lan to give me access to Network shares, and have found pPod a pretty easy piece of music software to live with.
Turning off the screen should not affect your WIFI connection, is your WIFI running at full power within the phone, as I along with many others have found that this is the only setting that makes the WIFI function useable.
Take a look at the WM6 Artemis thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=362 and read up on B&B3 from Tom, and BE VERY sure you have read the instructions and use USPL, the upgrade to WM6 is easy and will BLOW you away....

2) MMS is sent over O2 Active (O2 WAP) Internet Explorer will not connect to O2 over WAP so you can leave the settings for that available when you run a program called No GPRS. http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=40638&d=1180860606
4) When you press the button on the side you don't just turn of the screen, you put the device into standby. It works differently to your previous device in that respect. There is no work around for Windows Media Player as far as I know, WMP forces the screen to stay on on a dim setting. Take a look at Mortplayer as an alternative: http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=page&entry=mp_overview&action=view It has settings that allow the screen to turn it's self off whilst in use.
Thanks for replies.
Ill have a look into upgrading to wm6 I was hoping o2 would have an official rom out by now!

Hi guys
before I upgraded my ROM (Artemis Touch 4.02 WM6.1 WWE ROM) on my XDA orbit the WiFi used to switch off automatically when in standby mode. Can I get this ROM to do the same please?
Is there a registry hack or a cab file to install to do this for me.
Also when I check out the memory icon in settings the tab which shows running programs is missing, can I get that back?
Again is the a registry hack or cab file for this?
In all other respects this is a fantastic ROM and thanks to Meschle for his hard work putting this together
Simon
ok, I figured this out myself!
basically, if I use the com manager to switch WiFi on/off & put my Orbit into standby it wil switch off the Wifi automatically.
however; if I use a button mapping program like Hbutton or AEbutton to toggle the WiFi it WON'T switch off automatically. weird but true.
So my question is can I get a registry fix to sort this out or am I going to have to use the com manager from now on?
not happy to use button mapping simply because on at least two occasions I have run my battery flat because I forgot to switch oif the WiFi
(Still) not sorted out the running program tab in the memory module though)
thanks
Simon
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?

With SBSH Phoneweaver, Profiling works fine with Bluetooth. Make sure that you use version 1.4.2 (the issue with the BT Stack has been solved in this version)

Ahhh - I'd seen the Bluetooth option, but not actually tried to use it in anger.
