Tools for Treo is a collection of 5 small, simple, and useful freeware applications for your Palm OS Treo smartphone: BT On, BT Off, NetworkDown, PowerControl, and PhoneDisconnect.
BTOn: Switches Bluetooth on when launched
BTOff: Switches Bluetooth off when launched
NetworkDown: Closes all open network connections automatically
PowerControl: Enables/Disables AutoOff and Power Button
PhoneDisconnect: Signals a small tune when the other side hangs up a call, and Signals missed calls and SMS using the green LED.
martinpeters: Until the bug is fixed that keeps the LED on until put the treo into standby and turn it back on to clear the LED, the program is an annoyance.
jdimaria: worked great on the 650... having problems with the 680. app loads up but no LED change. i noticed you added vb and tn alerts. it needs a function to let you know if you have a missed call and a sms, like flashing led of the the colors you have chosen rather thenjust displaying the last you recieved. keep me posted with the 680 usage... i almost cant live without this app!
EazyE: I only installed NetworkDown and PhoneDisconnect and both did what they said but also did a little more. one or both woke my phone up every 5 seconds about 4 times in a row whenever i would try turn the screen off. it would come back on. off on off on off on. drove me nuts. uninstalled them both, problem solved.
Joad: Have used it for a while - very helpful (and far too loud!) audio signal when a call is ended. Comes in real handy to know immediately when a call is dropped. Con: very little (none) configuration, but maybe improved in v.2.
agflyboyaf: Love the BT apps and would like to see one change to the PowerControl. Would it be possible to have the option of disabling all of the buttons except for the power button?
MetaView: PhoneDisconnect: If you receive a SMS or missed a call when your Treo is on, please just switch it off and on again to clear the LED indicator.
NetworkDown: What should it do to the "ask before connect" setting? It just closes them all down.
chiusano: Nice utilities!
However, one bug with the network down applicaiton is that it overrides the "ask before connect" setting. It owuld be nice if this could be fixed.
szborowski1980: Same here with the PhoneDisconnect. Worked on the calls but stayed on after clearing an SMS message or missed calls on my Treo 650 cingular. Had to reset each time to clear it out. The other four I didnt need but the PhoneDisconnect was a great idea. Be great if the bug could be fixed. For now had to remove it. I give it a 7.
rollo: I tried NetworkDown and PhoneDisconnect , both worked fine. I also have a Cingular 650, but the "missed call / new SMS" LED switched off when I powered the device on, without fail.
According to PalmInternals, neither app slows the Treo down at all, and they have tiny memory footprints.
Future improvements? I'd like to see a VM indicator LED like in oldie app TreoAllegro, which didn't seem to work on my 650. Otherwise, another good one from MetaViewSoft, who also makes my favourite timewaster MyUAE :)
emeus: PhoneDisconnect works as stated however the LED indicator STAYED on even after a missed call was cleared out. Had to rest my Trep 650 (Cingular) to clear it out.
