Thanx a lot daniel for the solution. Everything works fine now. Many thanks!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fatballj:
Hi I have download the program for a try. However, I don't know how to use it and have following questions.

1) Am I required to run the program whenever I soft-reset my HD2? Or I will autostart even though I soft-reset my HD2?

2) What is the meaning of "Auto" mode? Is it mean that the program will turn the phone from UMTS to GSM when there is no program using UMTS connection?

3) What is the different between the "Auto" mode and the "Close idle conn."?

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

I purchased bandswitch yesterday and installed it.

But i get the following error:

"Bandswitch not activated. Please contact support"

I checked the owner information, but that is correct with what i send for the registration.

I send a mail to herrero.daniel@gmail.com 24 hours ago now but still no answer.

My device is a HTC-HD2 with 3.14 stock ROM.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
I havent received any email from you. Please send it again. I will be waiting for it
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ericdevet:

Command Line Mode for BandSwitch

Hello All,

I was wondering if a command line mode is offered or could be offered for bandswitch. Such as bandswith.exe -GSM or bandswitch.exe -UMTS this would be awesome.

Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Yes.

Take a look to the first posts :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Midnightjoker:
Update: Thanks Daniel for the quick support. Software working again ;)

Hi,

that seems to be a bigger problem with Bandswitch isn't it?

I'm facing the same "Bandswitch not activated. Please contact your support" error since yesterday. And also for me a reinstallation didn't fix it.

So is there a trick or patch that has to applied?

On Daniels website I can't find any link to something like that.

Please help.

Best regards,

Lars

Hi Daniel

Your website seems to be dead. Can I still purchase your app or have you stopped selling it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] altae:
No answer? Hm don't you want to sell your app anymore?

or can you tell me how to swicth from gsm to wcdma, which API in use?

thank.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
ay

Hi

There isnt a public api to manage bands. Each device has its own way. Anyway I am going upload the source code ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] myth-coder:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
I am happy to know Windows Mobile keeps alive...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kemeia:
Hi Daniel

As well as other people I have had a problem with the app. Before a soft reset a windows appeared telling me that there was not activated and said check for support.

Then I have send you an e.mail. My user is the same (has not changed). But is not posible to put again the code. Even unistalling and again install.

Waiting for your answer.

Salu2
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kemeia:
Hi Daniel. Now all is working perfect. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] edmondy:
thanks,

I finally solved my problem with band switch
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] luminus:
Don't know if these are good. i converted them to ico.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
HI. I ve integrated your icons. Thanks¡¡. I had to convert them to BMP (using paint) and then to icons (using pop-a-bmp-to-ico program). In the last step the quality of the images is minor. May be you can build 3 icons (.ico extension) with better quality. Anyway here goes the version and the captures.

Thanks again
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jasjamming:
Hi danielherrero

I have attached 3 icons that are simple, yet effective. could you consolidate them with your fantastic app. i would prefer to have these as i think they wont clash with any colour scheme - maybe im wrong?

greately appreciated if you can do this :)

Cheers and merry xmas.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mnez:
Daniel, thank you for a fantastic Christmas gift!

I can't express how deeply I respect people like you, who are gratuitously helping others.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Trinergy:
In GSM Mode calls go to voicemail and do not ring w/ Exchange ActiveSync

I am experiencing calls going straight to voicemail on a 8525 when set manually to GSM mode. I don't think this has anything to do with the plugin. Instead I believe it is with GSM and Exchange ActiveSync keeping a data connection open. GSM cannot support both a data and a voice operation at the same time. I would like people to be aware that if your DUN is connected in any GSM situation (ie, browsing the web, Exchange Push) then you will miss your calls. I will be switching to a manual sync of every hour to lessen the occurence. It took me a while to figure out why people say they kept calling me and I didn't answer. Cheers for a great utility though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mashi:
GSM can't do voice and data together. but UMTS can. We did the test before. when you are on UMTS. you can do voice and data at the same time
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] trinic101:
good to know about being on data and voice at the same time while on gsm, id learn it the hard way if it werent for u guys doin it for me =)

and danielherrero, im with mnez in thanking u for the christmas gift, lol but i may also be with jasjamming in using those attached icons, their rather simple and i think theyd b nice, just a suggestion

thanks alot bud
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Thanks to jasjamming and luminus. Those icons are nice. I am going to build 2 version for those icons. After.....for me its very simple to take these icons outside the exe file so you can use the icons you want(putting them in the same place than the exe file). Is this idea interesting for you?

Greetings.....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] trinic101:
whatevers easier for u dan. as long as u include or mention how to work it if it requires more than a cab install
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
HI.

Icons from jasjamming
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi.

Icons from Luminus
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] trinic101:
awesome, ty, after seeing the screenshots, im changing my preference to Luminus' icon set cab, installing now and allowing tray icon
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] trinic101:
off topic, but daniel, how have u been writing this program? c sharp?

im interested in learning so im curious
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi trinic. I am using C with Visual Studio 2005. I ve done several programs using Visual C# in my job but this kind of programs needs to use heavily TAPI api and Phone api so its easier with C...(for me) :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] trinic101:
i c, i just took a kinda beginners class in C, didnt learn as much as i hoped so i got a deitel book im about to read for c followed by one for c sharp

thanks for the insight
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eagle 1:
Here are some more icons for laughs....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Pretty icons!! Now I am not at home but later I will upload a version with your icons...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] trinic101:
wow nice icons eagle, the only thing about em is if u look jams icon set that appear nice and simple, but when their implemented, the supposedly transparent background isnt so transparent yet grey when installd, so maybe they should b squared up somehow? with mayb a solid decent color bg?

just wondering, cus their nice and id prolly make the upgrade for em lol
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
eagle could you do ico version?. When I convert those gifs to ico they loose much quality
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eagle 1:
there is an icons.zip file of the gif files in ico format under the above post; but i will upload again if needed?

yea, I need another converter also...It seems they do lose quality during the conversion...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jasjamming:
Hi guys,

here are the plain simple icons i posted before but with a full background. This will eliminate the transparent background problem.

If these could be added to the cab install that will be great. Wonderful work so far.

Regards,

Ronny
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] trinic101:
nice jas. i like em. clean and simple. merry christmas to all today

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] groggrog:
This program looks great but I can't get it to run. I installed it onto my Cingular 8125 with Qtek ROM and installs fine but when I run it nothing happens. I don't get any new icon or anything, nothing changes. Any idea?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi groggrog. It works in HTC Hermes and Trinity....Other pda werent tested.....:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shogunmark:
this will not work on the 8125, the 8125/wizard is not a 3G phone it will not do UMTS/WCDMA, it will do only gsm/gprs/edge
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcb_home:
This is to switch between 3G and GSM and the 8125 doesn't have 3G so this will not do anything for you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] groggrog:
Damn. Ok thanks anyway...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fahlis:
Thanks very much for this great app, I´ve been pissed to h**l with the battery drain on my TyTN, haven´t even lasted a full workday for me as I talk approx 2-3hours a day and with UMTS it drains in rapid speed, now I´m back to the standby time I had on my Qtek 9100, so again many thx danielherrero!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
:D Its my hobby make little programs that let us enjoy deeply our toys
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jasjamming:
thanks daniel,

your work is greatly appreciated. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Thanks jasjamming's for your time testing this app and making those fine icons and..........happy new year¡¡¡:D :D :D.

Its nice belong a place where not matters countries, religions, colors....only our tech passion and help each other...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] terracot:
it works perfect!!!!

Very good work dherrero, nice and proactive solution for battery life.. Happy New Year!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] omega2008:
Thanks alot for this great program I find it highly useful. I wish I had the time to develop programs.......but alas time doesn't permit.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] D@rk_4ngel:
This app has changed the battery life of my app forever!! thanx!!

Quick question, If im set to GPRS and i get a videocall over 3G. Will this app not limit me? Shouldent i be set to 3G/UMTS rather?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi. In GSM mode you can't receive videocalls,I think. Its a pitty :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bnycastro:
On a GSM network when I try to initiate a vid call I am prompted that a 3G network is required [obviously :rolleyes:] so I'm assuming 3G/UMTS should be active to receive video calls. Dunno if a video call trying to connect is converted into a voice call though might be network dependant.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] phangrk119:
Hi Daniel,

I am no where near a developer, but I do know that this new 8525 is driving me crazy by constantly switch from HSDPA to GPRS and dropping calls. I found this thread and your program looks like it would help my situation. Could you elaborate a little on your instructions? where do i find the program? How do I download it onto my phone and what do I need to do make the switch manual. Please feel free to email me pgaralis@comcast.net if need be. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JPHCCFC:
When i switch to GSM only network i often try to answer phone calls and it doesnt answer it keeps ringing! This problem doesnt seem to appear with 3g calls at the moment - anyone had a similar issue???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Sometimes I had that problem but if you answer/hang with soft menus buttons the problem disappears
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JPHCCFC:
Thanks Daniel i will try that! Great App by the way thanks for all the hard work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WineCape:
Excellent work Daniel!

Installed your latest CAB file (BandSwitch.ARMV4_jasjammingV2) and it works like a charm: simple, effective and powerful, the very essence of good programming.

Any other ideas you want to share with us, ie are you working on any other excellent TyTN software programs currently? ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mikkelnl:
Hi! I would LOVE to see a feature that would disable / overrule any dataconnection in general. For instance: I have a pop account that checks mail every 30 minutes, even when I disable the dataconnection (via Conn Mannager), the phone will connect automatically when the pop is checked.

This would be great, cause I could disable checking the pops (and syncing weather for instance) during nights, without heving to turn off the phone entirely...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] phil-w:
Just run it from file explorer on the pda/phone and it will install itself OK.. Click on icon on bottom of screen to select..

dherrero, can you tell me why the SIM PIN option is needed..?

Thankyou for a nice utility... saves going through all menus..

Phil-w
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
he he, any idea?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
SIM PIN is optional. Enter it if your device is sim pin enabled
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Applestar:
This is THE ANSWER to all my TyTN problems...

Daniel,

this is the most useful programm for my TyTN so far! Any way we could appreciate your work? Lets say a paypal account?

Please add version numbers to your application. It would be useful :)

Regards,

Apple*
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
hehe thanks. My paypal account is herrero_daniel@hotmail.com. Any donation is appreciated

:D

I am working in a new version with UI improvment, Disable/enable connections, close connections with no activity....

Any idea is appreciated too. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Applestar:
Another stupid question: What does the "auto" mode directly do? Does that mean the next connection can be 3G or GPRS, the type of connection request makes the difference?

$10 on your way ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Thanks for your help Applestar;)

Auto sets the radio in Auto mode. In this mode the radio stack tries to connect using UMTS but if it cant (low coverage...) then it sets GPRS mode.....

this mode prevents "no service" situation if you are in a place without 3G coverage...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
I love the tool...Needing to automate my settings between work and home, I wanted to add a call(of this program) to my phonealarm profile. Before I did that, I thought I would test my command line parameters(plus it keeps the environment simplier so that I know PhoneAlarm isn't the problem).

Having said that, I created a shortcut in \program files\bandswitch folder. I used Total Commander to get started and then adjusted the properties to read as follows:

\Program Files\bandswitch\bandswitch.exe -mu -t000.

When I execute, I get the following message:

The file 'bandswitch.exe -mu -t000' cannot be opend. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file.

I have tried adding double quotes from "\Program Files\bandswitch\bandswitch.exe" -mu -t000 as this thread indicates. I am sure creating this on my 8525 is challanging me somewhat.

Can someone advise me on what I am doing wrong? Thanks

--Mick
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Hi Mick. When you create a link (.lnk extension) the format must be

42#"\Program Files\BandSwitch\bandswitch.exe" -mu -t001

The link file must have this content. Dont forget the initial 42#
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Ah...I understand my "real" problem...I don't have a clue on how to create a .LNK correctly. I ought to be intuitive but I am really struggling with how to do this.

I could have sworn it wasn't this difficult with my past PPCs in days past. Will someone point me to a how-to?

--Mick
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
I usually create them in the device using resco explorer. Then copy the link to your PC and edit it to include paremeters, etc.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WineCape:
Goodie! Keep us updated what you have done already, then we can bounce some ideas back to you.

PS: I send $10 to your PayPal email as a thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Thanks WineCape:D . Your donation is really apreciated :D :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
And that seemed like the obvious thing to do. So I create the shortcut via Total Commander(I don't have Resco - at least yet). I tried copying to my documents but that doesn't synch to the PC(I guess cause it is a shortcut), so use ActiveSynch's Explore and copy to the desktop for editing. At this point, XP tells me that it is an Invalid Shortcut. Which now I am stuck yet again for such a trivial task.

Any thoughts?

--Mick
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pharoahwen:
Quick question on this app...

First, Thanks Daniel, EXCELLENT WORK. My quick question is this: with this app installed, if I switch manually to GPRS, does this prevent it from using the EDGE network? I have not seen the little "E", only the "G" when I set it to GPRS...

And to all (I know this is not the thread but I'm sure one of you guys, like ShogunMark knows the answer), can someone explain to me what the "enable HSDPA" does in the fitforcat hermes tweaker?

I love this forum. I've had a 2125, 8125 (which my wife now has) and now an 8525, and have found this to be by far the most useful site relating to my phones. You guys are the shiznit!!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
The problem is when you try to open this file in your PC windows tries to open the linked file and it doesnt exists in your computer.

1). Copy the .lnk file to your pc using activesync.

2) Place the file explorer in the left side of the screen.

3) Open a file editor (notepad, ultraedit....) in the other side.

4) Select the lnk file in the file explorer and drag it into the file editor.

It should works.....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
How awesome is that...Something so trivial had to be whipped by NotePad...that worked..well at least my .lnk works.

No on to my next problem. PhoneAlarm doesn't seem to want to call the .lnk correctly as it gives the "filename" cannot be opened message. Since I know I can go to File Explorer/Total Commander and execute the link and have it work tells me alot at this point.

Thanks for your help. Sending you a few bucks for your effort.

--Mick
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
Can you execute the link using File explorer?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
CMAlberto thank you very much for your Donation.:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
The link is fine. Works just like docs says it will. I think at this point it is a PhoneAlarm problem with its inability to handle .lnk calls.

..scratthing my head for now.

--Mick
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tco:
shortcuts

Try these shortcuts for PhoneAlarm. They worked form me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmalberto:
Wonderful. This works wonderfully. I guess my shortcuts were too long or something. They look exactly the same except for the name.

The Bandswitch program is an awesome compliment to SmartPhone...or should that be the other way around:).

Thanks for all the help.

--Mickey
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tony.wheeler:
Bandswitch Pro?

Danielherrero,

:) Thank you for your excellent Bandswitch application which I use and find very useful. I have one observation and some suggestions:

I have found that the standard PPC Phone Edition SIM entry screen sometimes appears with something like 'sim status unknown...' displayed. The phone works and is connected so this screen can be simply dismissed.

Have you considered applying your approach to this app and adding the Comm Manager and NoData (Modoca link) capabilities to provide a form of Comm Manager Pro? Taking your idea of asking for how long a network 'switch/toggle on or off' should be for, you could ask for how long or until when? This could allow users to define comms usage modes (phone, data, wifi, blutooth, etc) that are limited by either expiry of a given elapsed time or until a given date and/or time.

This would allow (eg) NoData to be toggled on or off for a defined period - say until return from overseas trip (to avoid expensive data) or perhaps turn off the phone completely to avoid battery drain (a big issue) whilst the phone 'hunts' for a signal when perhaps out of cover - or for a known aircraft trip length.

If such development could be completed we would have an even more powerful applet to completely replace the Comm manager and the function of that button could be changed to open your applet rather the standard Comm Manager.

Just an idea - off course lots of work but...

Once again thank you and keep up the excellent work to make the TyTn (vario II) really capable:) .
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
:)

Hi tony.

You suggestions are really interesting and will try to incorporte most of them in the new release that I am developing...

Thankssss
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Windkracht13:
BIG, BIG, THANKZzz...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WineCape:
I agree. Comm Manager, for me at least, seems to be implemented in my TyTN in quite a roundabout/non-robust way, with various selections/menus to scroll through, especially the Bluetooth activation and subsequent menus to make sure a beam is received or not. Also not being able to activate the Data Connection on the Comm Screen once deactivated is a strange design concept, but probably has a (programming) reason for it.

Energy spent by Daniel in developing/programming a so called Comm Manager Pro, as suggested above, seems to be a step in the right direction, yes?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danielherrero:
yes, I think so
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Applestar:
Hmmm..

I would keep your application simple. It is small and it does its work. If you plan to develop a "pro" version, probably it should be another application. As a replacement for the Comm Manager you would need nice graphics as well -> that means much more memory & application size.

And for the technicians here: You already can run BandSwitch with extra parameters. Use it with SKSchema (from SK Tools) and you can do quite everything you need. You could e.g. switch or turn off data connections by network ID. Or by battery power level. Or by date or time. I tried some of this and realized that the manual switch is still so quick & easy...
