[new release] VJVolubilis - wifi/IR/Bluetooth Control - Windows Mobile Apps and Games

Guys,
I've been so busy at work this week, you wouldn't believe. I'm beginning to get the shakes from lack of coding, but a few guys were asking for something similar to a tool I knocked up for my own use. I thought I'd release it anyway, subject to future improvements. Due to lack of time it's a little rough around the edges (very brief status messages, no interface, command line only), but it generally works, I hope

It currently supports the following command line options:
Bluetooth Control:
-blueon Enable bluetooth
-blueoff Disable bluetooth
-bluetoggle Toggle bluetooth
-bluediscoveron Make bluetooth discoverable
Audio Gateway Control:
-agon Enable audio gateway Audio Channel
-agoff Disable audio gateway Audio Channel
-agcon Enable audio gateway Control Channel
-agcoff Disable audio gateway Control Channel
WiFi Control: (WM5 Only)
-wifion Enable WiFi
-wifioff Disable WiFi
-wifitoggle Toggle WiFi
Infra Red Control:
-iron Enable Infra Red "receive beams"
-iroff Disable Infra Red "receive beams"
-irtoggle Toggle "receive beams"
Status:
-status Display Status messages
Command lines can be combined, so you can toggle wifi and bluetooth at the same time etc.
-AGON can be used to pass audio from some WM5 devices to a paired bluetooth headset, so hopefully you can listen to music etc over your headset without too much voodoo. This code is not widely tested (ie I lack hardware and time), but please email or report in my forum if you have success or failures, and which hardware and software it worked with.
Please note - I'm not sure what success you will have in transferring audio over, and whether or not it works on WM2003. The Magician at least lacks the hardware/software support for you to listen to music in this way, but on the Universal etc, it should permit this.
I intend to add a few more comms controls over time.
EDIT: I forgot to add, this only works on the out-of-the-box Microsoft Bluetooth stack at this stage. I may investigate other stacks later, but not right now
Guys, when you're discussing you're experiences with Bluetooth and AGON, I think it will be helpful to indicate:
1. Phone you're using
2. Type of headset
3. Command line used (eg AGON)
4. Whether you're using Voice Command
5. What your experience is (it worked, worked when you pressed bluetooth dial button, doesn't work etc)
Sorry for sounding like your mother, but I developed VJVolubilis for my own research because of my difficulties trying to use Voice Command on the Universal. This information would be helpful to try to pinpoint why Voice Command works properly for some people through the Bluetooth headset, and not for others.
Version Info:
v0.1
06.02.2006
- Initial Release
v0.2
08.02.2006
- Tidier status info
- Wizard Wifi Support (I hope!)
Ok, check it out on my webpage here.

818pro (HTC Prophet) is not working.

VJ: Sorry for the delay...I first had to figure out.. the command line thing
sorry...lol..
so i did install gs finder and i edited the shortcut (which software does allow hold and tap? at least gs finder didn't on my universal)
now i am still not sure if i did it correctly, but: if i hit on any app or entry in gsfinder including your app, nothing happens.
but if i hit on the edited shortcut (still within gsfinder, I have not figured out how to go further, and actually what does the TQ function do...?), ao if i hit the -agon edited shortcut, it will bring up the voicecontrol panel...so obviously i did something not too wrong..so while the voicecontrol is on, i will be connected to the bt headset, but once it goes away i am losing it. so same is i would be pressing the button of my headset....

---

@vijay555: You were aware that feature requests would come up, weren't you?
Well, I use different BT stacks on the Magician and I'd favour one short cut for enabling BT regardless the BT stack.

---

Hi Vijay,
I'm not sure if te fault was caused by me being a noob in this.. I tried to use the -AGON command on my Exec and realise that if I transfer the audio to the BT headset,it will activate the voice command and then transfer the audio back to the Exec speaker instead of the BT headset.
Btw ...it's a great sw bro!Yada man

Chatty: I've never used any other stack, and have amended the above post to indicate it's MS stack only for now, but send me over your stack and I'll look into it if I can.
argh2000: this is strange. I went home at lunch to test it and it works as described for me.
Basically, start bluetooth and pair, use the -agon command line and it will open the Audio Gateway, transferring all sound (eg TCPMP) to the headset.
Now, a strange side effect I found on my universal is that opening the gateway automatically starts Voice Command etc if you have the appropriate software installed. This may or may not be beneficial, but is certainly not built into VJVolubilis.
Now, my experience with transferring sound via the Audio Gateway may be a non-intentional bug. Voice Command doesn't work properly for me, on my universal pressing the VC button starts VC, but then doesn't close the gateway after it's finished recognising, so basically I can't restart VC, but I can listen to music through my headset. So for me, the Gateway stays open and all sound is transferred to my headset (a donated Sony SBH-35)
Removing the Voice Command shortcut from your startup folder may help to keep the gateway open for you so you can listen to music etc, but is probably going to have other sideeffects for VC. However, it may not!
Your experience with the agon option will vary, particularly since this tool was written specifically to aid in my battle with VC, documented in this thread.
I'll try to update the cab shortly with some shortcuts for example usage when I get a little time. But for now, it's for confident users only

@vijay555: I use this stack for PAN profile (surf and VoIP) and might use this stack for my yet-to-buy A2DP headset (listening to MP3) in the near future.
And I use all 3 stacks (3rd being the original MS stack) for navigation (GPS via SPP).

---

Chatty, are you stable with that many stacks?
I'm worried to upset my lovely little Magician with a new stack, but I'll try to investigate the bluesoleil at some point. A2DP - I've got nothing to test it on. Someone want to send me a stereo headset
I'll try to look into it.

@vijay555: As of now, there are only 2 installed. Except the different handling of each stack and the needed soft-reset for a switch I have nothing to complain about.
Unfortunately this project never came up with any solutions.

---

Do you know if their code is available? I've got some info on bluetooth profiles etc, and wouldn't mind looking into it. But later.
PM me if you want, but can you tell me what process you're using to switch between stacks? It might be possible to come up with an elegant switcher as well.

i couldnt get it working, i have tried all commands but it seems progrom does not pick them up, even for status
my phone is wizard wm5
any one had success?

---

nolovelust: I'll prepare some shortcuts hopefully tonight and pack them up.
What hardware are you using?

Hello Vijay,
VJVolubilis tested on QTEK 9100 (SPV M3000) WM5 :
-bluetoggle : works fine
-status doesn't works
none of the -wifi commands work
I'm wainting for the -wifitoggle command as I've never reached any software to do it.

---

Guys, I've reuploaded the cab, hopefully with some example shortcuts in there. Please test wifi etc on WM5 Universals. These shortcuts work on both my Magician and Universal.
Please note, they target the \program files\ folder.
If you have a non English OS, you will have to rename them.

Vijay I am so anxious about this software of yours. It maybe the answer for the people waiting for developments on the BT Stack for the Magician.
O.T. Vijay, if you plan to take a vacation here in Dubai, let me know. I want to personally treat you out for the work you have done for the community.

---

Mvmajorem I was watching a documentary yesteday about The Palm, and The World. For an invitation to Dubai, I'd quit my job right now!
Has anyone tried the new shortcuts? I'm curious that no one's had any success. The wifi toggle feature uses the same functionality as the Wireless Manager on the Universal, and tested on my Universal, it does work. I wonder if I'm doing something you guys aren't!
