Thank you for your reply. I will be happy to help you configure WMLL for CDMA Touch Pro2 (wm6.5/HTC Sense 2.5, latest stock ROM version 2.04.651.4 for Sprint). As I said in my previous post, Sprint/HTC have removed the native mode of operations menu from Touch Pro2 ROMs to put in a custom mode of operations menu that allows users to select between CDMA and GSM modes. The CDMA Touch Pro2 phones that have ability to turn off 3G seem to be the ones that have custom ROMs loaded that still have the mode of operations menu. May I ask how WMLL attempts to turn off 3G for either GSM or CDMA Touch Pro2 running on wm6.5? I can use a registery editor to try to play around with my device to see whether any tweaks to those registries that WMLL changes to turn off/on 3G will then work in the stock ROM for CDMA Touch Pro2.

Better yet if someone can go through the registry of wm6.5 and find the all the registry entries for mode of operations menu for CDMA devices and let me know (or make a CAB file to put the registry entries in the stock ROMs that have them missing), I would test it out. But please make sure the CAB is erasable, or better yet just let me know what the registry entries should be and I will create them on my device so that I can also erase them if they don't work.

You may also visit my XDA thread for all the CDMA Touch Pro2s that are having this issue with the missing mode of operations menu.

hi chainfire, i'd like to thank you for this fantastic piece of software. i'm using it on hd2 with miri 6.5.x v15, the stop idle connection function doesn't work for me, but it's not a big deal because i was interested in the automatic 3g switching feature...and that works like a charm, thank you for your work!

@selyb

Thanks for the help offer. I actually ended up figuring it out:

This was the base I needed to make a script to toggle between 2G/3G...

@Chainfire

Would be awesome:

1- Hide the dialog windows when toggling the band (could you add this feature to the API).

2- Toggle band without needing WMLongLife running in the background.

3- No dependencies from other WMLongLife components.

All I really use is the manual toggle feature of WMLongLife (failsafe to prevent accidental data costs since I have no data plan). If API dll did it all I could further complete my today interface without increasing the internal phone memory usage or waste ram on a background process that is only rarely requested (that's why I love those small cmd-only apps that toggle hardware and stuff... though I even try to replace those with scripts) but I assume this is completely against the point of WMLongLife...

EDIT:

Attached AutoHotkeyCE script.

Chainfire,

Thanks for the wonderful app! It has saved me from needing to go back to Windows Mobile 6.1 after "upgrading" to 6.5 killed my battery life.

I'm having an issue with WMLL and Kinoma free player on Verizon Touch Pro II and newest WM 6.5 official VZW Rom.

I'm often getting a "No network interfaces" error when I try to listen to Shoutcast stations without having initiated a 3g connection beforehand (i.e. I need to launch Opera or Skyfire first before I launch Kinoma to get a data connection and listen to streaming radio. Is it possible that Kinoma is calling another program that is not triggering the WMLL to enable 3G? (Just a wild shot in the dark on that one...I'm not a programmer really.)

Thanks for all your hard work! This app is a lifesaver!

Hi Chainfire:

Ok, I did a hard reset on my CDMA Touch Pro2 (wm6.5 stock ROM for Sprint) and re-installed WMLongLife. Then, it began working. I should tell you that after re-installation, I did not see any band switching immediately after the re-installations until I went to the menu and clicked on "WMLongLife controlled" in the Band Switcher menu. In the band switcher menu, 2G, 3G auto, and 3G only modes are also working on my device. So thank a lot of this program.

Here are a few minor bugs:

1) I have set WMLL to turn off 3G when the screen turns off. But when I turn on the screen and then turn on Opera browser, a blank screen comes up in Opera browser instead of the home page. I can see that in the navigation bar, 1X is switch to EVDO (CDMA 3G), but the double arrows for data (the ones above the bars for tower strength) are not on, so no data is being transferred. Instead of the double arrows, I see the triangle symbol for tower (not the one for roaming, the one for home tower). So I have to turn off Opera, and re-start it each time. I guess the Opera browser gets stuck and does not like to wait for the double arrows to show up before asking for data. To remedy this problem, I have set WMLL to have 3G turn on when I turn on the screen, but it would be nice if I did not have to choose this option.

2) When I installed WMLL and turned on SPB TV, WMLL options screen came on asking me how I want SPB TV to connect to the internet. But WMLL and SPB TV were flickering because both were trying to compete to have their respective screens be the one on top of the other. To remedy this problem, I hit the SPB TV's OK button on the top right corner of the screen, and the flickering stopped. This bug happened with a few other apps too (ex. WIZI) when WMLL came on to ask how I want WMLL to manage their internet connections.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shahriar5252:
Hi Chainfire:

Here are a few suggestions and they are only suggestions:

1) Give different icons to "Band Switcher" and "WMLongLife."

2) Change the name of "Band Switcher" to "3G Switch" because that is more relevant to the activity of the program. (The name 3G is well known because of the iPhone and all the TV commercials of the competing carriers in the U.S.) Consider "3G" or picture of a cell tower as icons here, but the lightning rod icon that you currently have is more indicative of danger of electric shock.

3) I would recommend choosing a more relevant name for WMLongLife: Consider changing the name to "3G Settings."

By the way, I bought your WMWIFIROUTER program, but the name of the program is so long that wm6 cuts it in half and shows it as something like "WMWIFIROU...." So what I did was to shorten and change the name to "WiFi Router" in the \Windows\Start Menu folder. This name is also more relevant, shorter, and is fully shown by wm6.

4) Put "WMLongLife" in the Settings subfolder of the \Windows\Start Menu folder because WMLongLife is only changing settings of the program. However, I would prefer to have "Band Switcher" in both the Settings subfolder and the Programs subfolder of the Start Menu folder.

Hi Chainfire:

Would you please remove the picture in post # 2 of this thread. It is one of your posts. I think the offensive word written in the picture is not nice. And kids who have wm6 smart phones who may also be searching for your program will be seeing it too, and many parents will not appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

I'm on a t-mobile HD2....and enabling internet sharing while wmlonglife is running does not appear to be working as it should. wmlonglife comes configured by default for internet sharing to enable 3g...even when screen is dark and not to timeout.....even after enabling internet sharing and being connected it stays at 2g.....going into comm manager I have to manually enable 3g (3g apprently is getting turned off by wmlonglife on bootup.

Any ideas?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] famewolf:
Interesting....I installed the app because of a blog post by an hd2 owner about how great the app was....pocketpcnow or one of those sort....oh well..I uninstalled it cause it turned off 3g while in middle of using internet sharing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PiOnEeRReSeArCH:
I used it on my HD2, too. It worked very good!

Turned HD2 on ... Connecting with Facebook-App - Connected. Closed Facebook-App and turned HD2 screen off. Took a look after 60 Sek, der internet connection was closed.

Or: My weather gets its updates every 30 mins, after the weather update the connection closed, too.

But after a fresh HD2 install, it never worked again.

Now its not working, too. Too sad.

I had simmilar problem with version 0.65.. since 0.66 it seems to work almost perfect on my HD2 (stock rom German).

Only thing I'd like to know: Prog does not "see" every Prog isntalled that might use internet. Can I add or remove Progs on this list manually somewhere?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shahriar5252:
Hi Chainfire:

Can you make a lighter version of this program that comes with just a toggle switch in the program folder for switching between 2G and 3G? Toggle switch in the program folder enables users can remap a key to toggle between 2G and 3G whenever they need to.

Just my 2 sense, I don't think anything of the caption on the manual image. I did have to search for the picture after u mentioned it, and was afraid it was going to be something reprehensible, but nah. Seems some personality has crept out of the author.

While I am here, I have to say this app is super cool, and was surprised it ran so well on my phone.

Excellent job!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Regarding HD2

The latest release works great on my own HD2. I have updated the first post to reflect this. I'm not sure why it wouldn't work on a new freshly reinstalled HD2. It may be some setting somewhere, it may be because of ROM/Radio version, I simply don't know. This application is very complicated under the hood and uses many undocumented (and officially unsupported) features of Windows Mobile, and to make matters worse, these thing are heavily affected by small differences in ROMs and WM builds, and changing a seemingly completely unrelated setting somewhere may disable half the program. (This is also one of the reasons WMLL has never jumped to the payed market so I could put more time into it - this program is a support nightmare)

Regarding a simpler version that just switched bands

There is other software that can do this, search for it.

Regarding the manual

You can ask, but I won't, unless you come up with a valid reason that is not overly subjective. It is just an image of a long-standing internet meme regarding end-users who never read manuals and then ask questions as to why it doesn't work.

If you have issues with it that you can't possibly see around, you can always report it to a moderator that isn't me.

I want my phone to generate MORE radiation, enough so it glows. I would like my hypothetical future children to have tentacles and laser beams shooting out of their eyes. Can you make an app for that?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] famewolf:
Can you check specifically into the internet sharing app? I tether ALOT and I found occasions where 3g was NOT being enabled when internet sharing was being "connected" as well as a few cases where the phone turned 3g OFF while internet sharing was in process (the phone was idle and I had manually powered off the screen but internet sharing was still going).

I'm using kumar's 6.5 rom now but ran into identical behavior with the t-mobile stock rom. Perhaps I need to look into which rom you are running. I also just upgraded my radio to the most recent Leo_RADIO_2.10.50.28_2.rar

Is your HD2 the t-mobile one or the european model? There are SOME hardware differences for instance the volume up/down does NOT work with voldpad or aebuttons on the t-mobile hd2 but apparently works fine with european model. I tried to change the volume up/down to be a dpad up/down with no luck and finally had to resort to the "virtual dpad" app posted.

'cannot connect' message

Sorry in advance if this was already addressed somewhere. Occasionally, when a change is being made in connection (2G to 3G or back), I get an annoying popup that says something to the effect that it 'cannot connect. please check your settings blah blah.' Is there a way to disable this message or something? Other than that, I love this app.

By the way, I am not having problems connecting, it's just a popup that comes up during the switching process.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cd993:
hi guys, just wanted to say thanks for this great app, works a treat on my hd2 however like others, experienced high battery drain (as much as 8-10% idle 2g per hour!). Anyone tested different scenarios yet? Im thinking that I shall try different radios and attempt to monitor the usage.

As soon as this battery issue is sorted I will use this app non-stop, it does exactly what says it does, and love how it connects to 3g when needed and returns to 2g afterwards, perfecto!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] camro:
this can be disabled - or better in the registry must be set another program to the key, which is doing like nothing ...

in SchedHandler is such kind of settings included ...

or you do it manually ....

'original Value

'[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSREMNET

'"1"="remnet.exe"

'modified Value

'[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSREMNET

'"1"="SchedNull.exe"

and then copy SchedNull.exe to \windows

(the exe will do nothing ... - attached the exe - in zip format)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MartyLK:
In the settings there is an option to connect to a certain service when 3G kicks in. It is set to "none" currently. Is this the proper setting, or should I choose, for instance, T-Mobile Data?

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MartyLK:
Is there a way to stop the pop-ups? Whenever it changes service, it pops-up and requires me to press "OK" to make the pop-up go away.

Eh...nevermind. I didn't realize the settings screen scrolled. I found the notification setting and have disabled it.

Hello.

I found this app very useful but it had a few issues.

1. How can I add any aplication uses internet such as Microsoft MyPhone?

2. After synchornization using Active Sync WMLongLife does not disconnect data connection as required. (after updating manila weather it does)

How to change it?

EDIT2: Another problem. Once WMLL just stopped to work (conf tab were accessible). Reinstallation helped.

EDIT3: After 3 switches program stopped to change from 3g to edge. Stuck at 3g.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rhodium500:
So I have set Opera mobile to get 3g access. When I open the program the phone switch to 3g. The only problem is that after the switch I have to wait at least 30 seconds before a connection will work. Meaning no data arrows will appear for at least 30 seconds. Its like the phone takes time before it dials out a data connection to the tower.

Is this normal? Installed on a cdma rhodium

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gitarul:
Hello.

I searched through this thread but with no results so I decided to write about my issue. The situation, which is described below, takes place on the Samsung i780 with stock WM6 ROM.

I have WMLL installed several months ago and I almost forgot about it because I haven't used a cellular connection for data transfers. I've got a data plan from my operator few days ago and then I found this issue.

I noticed that when you connect to the Internet for gsm, my phone does not go to 3G. So I decided to run Band Switcher but the program closes immediately after launch. Attempt to run WMLL ended similarly.

So I can't change any setting, then I'm worried about uninstalling WMLL now. I can't even check the version I have installed.

I will be grateful for any help.

Hi,

This looks a nice app and could potentially help solve an issue I have with my Motorola MC75 battery life.

App installs and some parts of it work but not entirely sure it's 100% compatible as the switch functionality doesn't seem to work, not sure what radio I have in my device so this could be the crux.

Is this software still in development and how hard would it be to include the MC75 radio as a an option?

Great piece of work!

However, on my HD2 with HyperROM it only works once for each reset. When the program has to change again, it seems all connections are broken. This means no data connection, but also no phone calls anymore!

So, for now the program is useless. I hope an update will be here soon!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Devcio:
Just go into your settings and ensure that you are not 3g-only as in this mode anytime you drop below 3g your reception is lost resulting a disconnection. I've been testing the 3g-auto mode and it's really working well so the app manages to switch between 2g-3g during a phone call. It's one of those apps you need to spend some time with to figure it out

Hope that solves the problem.

HELP! Uninstalled and now I get NO data!

Touch Pro 2, US Tmo. Original 6.1

I installed this app on Friday to test it out. It seemed to work ok. But after using it for 2 days I got frustrated by the constant band changing. All I want is to have the idle data disconnected. So this does not work for me.

So I un-installed the program. No My phone says it is connected to 3g, the timer is even running, but NONE of the programs that need data are working.

Opera

Email

Weather

Active sync.

They all say that I should enable to data to use them. So I go to comm manager and disable Data. I then re-enable data. Still nothing. I soft reset several times. Nothing.

I try re installing WMLL. Nothing, Soft reset several time, still NOTHING.

Another round of uninstalling etc etc... but still it says that I am connected by 3g but I can not access data.

Please help! What is going on here.

I search this thread, but found no answers to my problem.

I need this to work this week. Now I'm stuck.
