Sorry this didn't work for you - I think it's a limitation of the way EDGE is enabled in FW 1.0.2

Is there a port or connection that's opened as part of its use or is it just an installer (does it need a switch)?

4. WiFi connection picks up IP.

The IP function repeatedly polls the services for an active connection in a loop. If you were to activate WiFi before the IP function looked for the EDGE service that alert box would likely not happen. It's a built-in iPhone alert box and is actually reflecting the true state of the phone "could not connect to EDGE" so it's not a worry.

First please try the script modification listed above:

It may be that there are permissions errors that won't let you modify the files that need changing. Please note that the original plug-in is listed for 1.1.1 & 1.1.2 only.

I took a quick look at the source code and it's certainly a FAR bigger process that anything NetServices does now. There are a large series of network speed tests, handshaking protocols and NetServices is not really built to do that yet. If anyone wants to work on a LaunchDaemon for this service I'd be happy to add it.

Thanks for the encouragement. Our conversation a while back about trying to get the FireFly Server running is what instigated this whole project. A name change is certain not out of the question though I have a couple of major GUI additions I'd like to make before the "unveiling" as it were. I like FuseBox a lot (I was also entertaining SwitchBack).

IN ADDITION
I have added separate installs for the File Download Plug-In for iPhone 1.1.1 and 1.1.2. I do not know the difference between the two files, but they were listed on the site providing the plug-in to begin with so I assume there is a difference. The process of loading & unload the plug-in is the same for Netservices, but I assume there are some minor plist changes between the two so please install accordingly.



Thanks for all your help

Greg

@greg; would be possible on your next release update will work on my version...
hopefully...

anyway thanks a lot...

The method used for disabling EDGE doesn't seem to be effective under 1.0.2. I have no way of testing this as my phones are upgraded past this point. I think you would be best served by upgrading to at least firmware 1.1.1.

upgrading, hmmm...don't know how yet...need some more guidance doing this....

Plenty of guides available in the guides sections right here at ModMyI.

I honestly don't know. I remember when I installed iBrickr, it connected to the iPhone, said it installed a "PXL daemon", then rebooted the iPhone, and I was able to browse the iPhone, install apps, etc. Never thought more about it until it was mentioned here.

Yeah, it's not like there isn't a GAZILLION threads and guides on upgrading already. 1.0.2 is old news, and 1.1.1 is a good upgrade. 1.1.2 has some minor updates, but isn;t worth the headache & trouble IMHO. 1.1.1 is definitely preferable over 1.0.2. Be like Nike: Just Do It! Wanna know how to do it? Here's how:

Firmware 1.0.2:
Firmware 1.1.1:
Firmware 1.1.2:

And finally, NetServices (or FuseBox, which I like!):

[Tinman]

I have 0.1.5 and if I turn it off Lighttpd it does indeed disable it. Unfortunately it won't turn it back on properly. The buttons says "On" in NetServices but Lighttpd won't work, even after a reboot.

Not wanting to play around with Lighttpd I uninstalled, then reinstalled, it. Then it worked again. As soon as I turned if off again with NetServices it wouldn't work again.

BTW: I used the version of Lighttpd found from the same source as NetServices.

Edit: Never mind. Seems it was a problem in Lighttpd's .conf file.

Please post the problem with the conf file in case others run into the same issue (or so we can fix the conf file before install).

Thanks

Forgot to mention, I had some thoughts on this. FuseBox is a good name, but "SwitchBack" sounds like it's a restore software or something. How about "SwitchBlade" - the app that slices, dices, and cuts them all up.

I prefer FuseBox though.

Hi Greg,

Great work on this appplication. I just installed the latest version, 0.1.5, and it works beautifully!

Here is the thing: After posting a little post regarding how to maximize battery power (http://www.modmyi.com/forums/showthr...t=18629&page=2) , I decided to go ahead and make an application in order to have most of the settings to save battery power under one interface. Lets call it MaxBattery. Your application has about 70% of the things I want since turning off services saves most of the battery power. What would be left off is things like: brightness level control, volume control, Ipod EQ, and other similar settings in order to have them all together in one.

Here is my thought:
Is NetServices OpenSource? If so, I could start from it, add all the parts I would like to, and call it something like MaxBattery. (I will, of course, include a big thanks to you!) Or we can work together on this.

Let me know of what you think.

[DaveiPhone]

Along this same line of thinking:

The main reason that I still use iToggle instead of NetServices, is that I can decide for myself what services to support. For example, right now I have a switch in iToggle for Autosnap. As I understand it, the only way that could happen with the current architecture for NetServices is for Greg to add support internally.

Now, NetServices certainly has some great advantages, particularly for the end user who doesn't want to mess with binary calculations and manually editing plists. In addition, NetServices already has the ability to run easily modified shell scripts. However, with a small change in architecture (OK, maybe not quite "small"!), it would be possible to have the best of both worlds. The key aspect would be to move the supported services into its own plist and not just the visibility and name as it appears to be now. Ideally, it would also allow the end user to specify a flag to determine the toggle state as well.

It seems to me that this would have the added advantage of not having to poll for every service to determine its state (unused services would not be polled). Also, the burden of adding less mainstream services would be on the end users instead of Greg.

Thoughts?

Can we get Airplane mode on one of these?

iphoneluv,

I'd love to talk with you about NetServices & MaxBattery. Please drop me a line at copycoder@roadrunner.com

Thanks

True, but I've tried to add as many as I can think of - autosnap is a great addition. I don't want NetServices to become just another app launcher though.

I'm afraid I don't agree. While I appreciate the ability for the end-user to add services in an external plist, as a developer it opens up a world of tech support that is far more extensive than I can manage. I have found that many users start changing parameters without understanding them first. In fact, in an effort to keep user manipulation of application plists to a minimum, the next release of NetServices will have a GUI to adjust parameters like name & visibility directly from the app. I realize that there are users that understand how to adjust the program files to maximize the app for themselves, but most do not.

Sorry Dave, I don't agree with you on this one either. If users can set their own toggle state it can easily result in a situation where a service is not in the state they think it is. I think it is essential that the switch state is based on true service state and not a plist entry. When NetServices opens it does a two stage poll. It first simply looks for specific install flags to tell NetServices which services are installed, then it polls for active state. Not installed - never polled.

I really appreciate the input and effort to help make NetServices a better product.

Thanks,

Greg

[DaveiPhone]

Thanks Greg,

I see your points about my ideas allowing a bit TOO much freedom.
Hopefully iToggle will continue to develop along those lines, so we'll have a choice. I agree that most users really just want plug-and-play.

Are you saying that you don't poll the state of a service if visibility is turned off? If so, that's great, because I think that would improve launch time significantly.

I think you're making a great product here, and really appreciate the time & effort you put into it. Thanks.

[iphoneluv]

Thanks Greg for your reply. I will send you an email shortly.
