Speed Dial for Flight Mode

[Guest removed-2]

I have purchased one of those twin sim card holders so I can have my o2 and orange sim in one. It is one of those that you have to cut the original sims (very scary) but did work.

To switch from one sim to the other I have to either:-

1. Restart the phone (this then selects the next sim)

-or-

2. Turn Flight Mode On and then Off, this toggles between the sims. The only problems with this is that the network shows as Orange for my O2 connection and the only way I can tell the difference is that I don't have GPRS setup on the O2 sim and therefore the big G doesn't show in the title bar. Any ideas as this does work if I restart the phone?

Back to my original reason for this post:-

I prefer to switch using the flight mode method and wondered if it is possible to assign a speed dial to it (so it becomes 1 key press apposed to 2 (power, 2 flight mode) - lazy i know!

Thanks

Hi,

You can do that with scripts.

About the utility

This was designed to automate profile switching. The profiles were compiled on a single folder. You can then assign a speed dial key to each profile and execute switching with a just a key press (or keypresses).

Screenshots... Icon on Orange background is the Flight Mode icon.

To use:

1. Open QuickApp folder (Start > QuickApp).

2. Assign a speed dial key to Flight Mode icon.

3. Click it! Do not press any key after you clicked 'Flight Mode' icon. Script executes in about 25 seconds, that is, from SIM 1 to SIM 2 in 25 seconds.

Thanks to maxh2003 for the scripting tool.

Wow, great app, if only it worked!!!

I get the following error message whenever I run any of the options (the number does change tho).

"There is no application associated with "2". Run the application first and then open this file inside the application"

I should point out that I have a C550 so this might be the cause of the problem.

Has anyone else tried this on a C550? Did you get the same problem and did you find a work around?

Thanks

I have the same error on my SPV C500.

1. Do not uninstall QuickApp (from my first post)

2. Use the 2003 installer found inside the ZIP attachment. (below)

Thanks. I hope it gets sorted now. :)

I installed the 2003 cab file which has put the file in \Storage\Program Files\.. but this still doesn't work (same error).

Do I need to run the exe file that the 2003 cab installed before running quickapp?

Thanks

Lets try to isolate problems.

Can you try it on your C500 first?

1. Install 2003 base installer on your C500

2. Install GPC.Quick.App.cab

3. Observe it if works.

Now try it again on your C550

1. Re-download the base installer (zip file) then install 2003 cab

2. Install GPC.Quick.App.cab on your C550

3. Observe.

The base installer will just perform necessary registry association so that all shk files will be opened by AutoSmartphone program. Once shk is associated with AutoSmartphone, any valid script should be processed without that "There is no application associated with "2" error.

It works on my C500. I hope it will also work on yours (C500 and C550).

[Guest removed-2]

Cool, that works on both devices!! Thanks.

It must have been the order that I originally installed them, ie QuickApp first then 2003 can - didnt work. Done this the other way around and it worked.

Ok, so next question now...

When switching out of Flight Mode (back to network) I get prompted for my SIM lock code. Is there a way automate this entry using these tools?

Thanks

Im glad it worked! :D

I can modify the script for you but you have to provide me with a description/screenshots of what windows/dialogs pops up when toggling SIM.

I need the know the sequence so I can write the script and know where to type the code. Its hard to imagine things when you don't have the actual device at hand. :)

[Guest removed-2]

I wouldn't want to trouble you with actually writing the script for this. You have done plenty it assisting in getting it working.

I am happy to have a go at the script myself if you can offer me any pointers or documentation on how to write them and where to put them etc.

Thanks again for your help.

Alright.

1. Copy file '2.shk' inside Storage\Program Files\QA then transfer to your PC.

2. Open the SHK file using Notepad.

3. Edit the contents of the file...

You should see these inside:

Run,quickapp.exe,

WaitWindow,Quick List,1000,

Type,2,

Sleep,10000,

SendKeyCode,27,

WaitWindow,Quick List,8000,

Type,2,

Sleep,10000,

SendKeyCode,27,

SendKeyCode,113,

To interpret the script: Assuming you have SIM 1 loaded...

- Once 'Flight Mode' icon is click --> QuickList is loaded --> Flight mode is selected --> Phone goes into flight mode (radio signal off) --> Wait 10 seconds --> Reload QuickList window on screen --> Re-activate radio signal, SIM 2 should now be activated --> Wait 10 seconds --> Close QuickList window --- SIM 2 loaded.

That is what happens when there is no SIM code. If you said you were asked of the code, you can insert this command to the script:

WaitWindow,ENTER SIM CODE,2000,

Type,XXXXX,

SendKeyCode,113,

Making the code appear as...

Run,quickapp.exe,

WaitWindow,Quick List,1000,

Type,2,

Sleep,10000,

SendKeyCode,27,

WaitWindow,Quick List,8000,

Type,2,

Sleep,10000,

WaitWindow,ENTER SIM CODE,2000,

Type,XXXXX,

SendKeyCode,113,

SendKeyCode,27,

SendKeyCode,113,

That is if the dialog box for the SIM code is 'ENTER SIM CODE' , XXXXX as the SIM code and the confirmation box is at the right soft key. You should take note of the SIM code dialog title and where the OK confirmation button is located else the script will jump into the next command without processing previous command.

For further assistance on scripting, open 'autosmartphone.zip' (inside the BASE.INSTALLER) and look for Scripting.txt. Its a documentation on how you do scripting prepared by maxh2003. :)

Thanks for that, I will give it a go and let you know how I get on.

That new script worked a treat. I feel quite a few uses for this coming on!

Thanks again for all your help..

Happy to help :)

[Guest Dean123]

I've have the same set up for my dual sim. I use the following script:

Run,quickapp.exe,

WaitWindow,Quick List,1000,

Type,2,

Sleep,5000,

SendKeyCode,27,

WaitWindow,Quick List,8000,

Type,2,

Take much less time then the ones posted above.
