On my hermes using WM6 with the HTC Home Plugin, I am able to use the scroll wheel to scroll into the home are. I can navigate to any of the tabs just by using the scroll wheel. Anyone know how I can make my kaiser do the same thing?
If I think what you mean, that isn't possible. I tried it just now and I can only scroll down and up but not onto the other tabs in the HTC Home
You can do this with navigation control.

Ok that works, but I would prefer the scroll wheel. It's better than nothing though.
Hi all,
On my Kaiser, if I forget to unmute my phone before starting TomTom 6, I can't actually adjust my volume. The trick I used with my 8125 was to go to the Today screen and tap the volume control. On the Kaiser, touching the screen brings me back to tomtom, even if the today screen is displayed.
I remember finding a replacement exe for TomTom that unmuted the phone when it started and restored your former setting when you quit, but I can't find it even though I've searched for an hour. Help?
Thanks!

When I forget to turn on the volume, I slide open my Kaiser and press the Fn key together with the folder button (bottom right). From there, you're able to adjust the volume
But I guess it is indeed better if the volume gets adjusted automatically...

It's that "Right Arrow" button. When you first press Fn (bottom left), all the blue symbols on your keyboard can be activated.
There is a blue icon of a folder on the Right Arrow key.
So press Fn and right arrow and you're in Windows again (and able to adjust the volume).
Then use your task manager to get back in TomTom.
Same problem for me with my Tilt. But, there's no folder icon on my keyboard to try your suggestion. The only way I've found is to exit TomTom, unmute the phone and start it again.
Anyone find a fix for use on the Tilt?

ah, i see, on the tilts, that key toggles wifi on/off
Found it!
http://www.aximsite.com/boards/gps-talk/140969-tomtom-6-volume-override-loader.html
This loader unmutes your phone when you launch tomtom, and restores your mute when you close. (it's smart about restoring the previous state, so it won't mute if you weren't muted before launching tomtom)
Incidentally, I have some useful links in my del.icio.us bookmarks tagged with 'windowsmobile'
http://del.icio.us/osunick/windowsmobile
(disclaimer: I'm a product manager on del.icio.us)
Hitting the phone "Hang up" button works to get back to the home screen.. you can then tap the TomTom icon bottom right to bring it back.

Have you tried this? Getting to the home screen is not the problem, it's that touching any part of the screen, including the volume control, puts you back in tomtom, thus making volume changes very difficult.
Is my Tilt different than your Tilt?

Im not sure what you guys talking about.
The FN + Arrow key works.
The hang up key works as well.
I have my windows key set as file explorer that works(perfectly).
Im usingTomTom 6. I cant recall my version.
When Im in TomTom and active my todays page. Tom Tom will minimize at bottom task bar. It lets me change just about anything.
Not sure why you guys has problem, maybe you need to install HTC taskmgr to solve this issue. Because most of my working program will minimize at bottom, so I can have fast access to it.

This may depend on what build of Tomtom you have. As the OP says with some b uilds, even when you get to the tgoday screen using Fn buttons, the very next screen tap takes you back into tomtom.
However, as also pinted out above, pressing the red phone key works and you can then change the volume or any other task, BUT instead of returning to it using a Task Manager you just tap the tomtom icon that has appeared in the lower task bar.

My Tilt has the original AT&T ROM and I'm running TomTom 6.010.
The trick with the red phone key always minimizes TT6 to the lower task bar. But, I usually get dumped back into TT6 when I tap anywhere on the screen. Sometimes (rarely) it does let me unmute the speaker, but mostly not.
The Fn-arrow trick never works for me.
It's usually easier for me to quit TT6, turn on the speaker and then restart it. Of course, that means I have to wait for GPS to start up again.
mikechannon is right, some builds of tomtom allow you to change the volume once you are in the today screen, some builds will just bring you right back to tomtom with a tap on the taskbar.
for the builds that bring you back to tomtom on a screen tap, this is how i do it, hit ok or red phone button to get back to the today screen. when its at the today screen, i press the ie button to bring up ie, then you can tap on the volume icon on the taskbar.
and it doesnt have to be ie, can be just any app, you can even launch anything thats on the today screen, just as long as you dont tap on the taskbar

Yes! Just tried that trick and it works great... thanks!!!
Anyone know if its the older or newer builds that allow the volume change to work properly?
You guys should really try that TTLoader app that i linked to earlier. It maxes out your volume and launches TomTom and restores your original volume settings when you leave.

I did consider using that app, but am trying to keep the number of running programs down as low as possible. I'm willing to jump through a hoop or two to accomplish that.

It's a very lightweight app and doesn't actually take up space in your registry, so it has zero impact when not running and minimal impact when tomtom is running. You should try it.

Okay... you got me! I tried the loader and am hooked on it!
But, here's one for you. I've got a spot on my Today screen with TomTom on it (tap and the program starts). Any way you know of to get the loader to start instead? Maybe I'm missing something very easy?
Thanks!
Gavin
Sadly no, I use either Voice Command or the PTT button to start TomTom.

Great little app, thanks.
Is there any chance of a cab install version ?
So it can be simply reinstalled when I change roms (which I do a lot).
Many thanks for this little app. It saves me getting frustrated, and having to tap on the screen while driving.
Many Thanks

Sorry if it was already covered elsewhere, - is there any way to remap auctions for these side buttons on Diamond ? I don't change volume level that often, all done through profiles, imho up/down arrow or scroll function would be much more beneficial ...
Update: AEButton Plus does the thing perfectly, thanks to Geekess for the hint
volume up/down is OK but long press may be very useful for Explorer, task manager etc...
In other words configurable .. would be great for camera too, not easy to make pictures with central button, not stable enough ...
I did not follow development news for previous HTCs, so not sure if it was ever done before ...the fact is that these buttons are not available from Settings (
You can use PQZ II for remapping the volume key. Try to google it.

well, does not look good at the end, maybe these are hidden features, but I could not find a way of how to use the volume buttons independently (they work as Ctrl or Alt, no problem here, but I wanted to use them as one button - one action, not two buttons - one action). Another problem, Up/Down or Scroll are not available for selection as actions ....
So it should be possible to change that, the matter of finding the right program now ..
Wish there were more buttons on Diamond, or at least proper navigation buttons ...
Hmm... for me it does not work, get the message:
keyboard hook faild
any suggestions?
What works for me is AEButton Plus (payware, no affiliation). I have reconfigured my volume buttons to single press = arrow up/down and long press to volume. The program has a nice function: you can choose to let the volume buttons have their default behavior during a phonecall.
I'm using the trial right now, but if I can't find a freeware program that has the same functionality I will probably buy this.
May I ask how you've gone on with AEButton? I'd be interested to hear your long(er) term experience of having used it as it sounds like exactly what I want/need.
Mathew
all good, does what it says, configured it once and just using since ..
Tried latest HButton 2.3, but think it is not compatible ... anyone else tried it?
In the advanced config program you can choose to make the d-pad either scroll a page or go between each link on the page. Changing this options makes the d-pad and scroll wheel on the side do the same thing.
Is there a way to make the scroll wheel scroll and entire page and the d-pad to go between each link?
bump, maybe even just a yes or no...

I'm looking for a browser that uses the Nook hard device buttons to scroll the page. I'm expecting a page jump like when you hit Spacebar on desktop. I've tried Opera Mini, Opera Classic, and 2 Dolphin version so far with no luck. I'm hoping there's a browser that does this. Maybe I can configure the buttons ?
You want a browser that can scroll using volume buttons and then use NTTM to assign volume up/down to two hardware buttons.
@nmyshkin Thanks for the suggestion. Do you know a browser off hand that scrolls with volume buttons?

Dolphin. Search for older versions in the 9 or early 10 series.
lz199366 said:
I know a broswer that does it, try this UCMobile browser in the attachment. You have to set your Top-Right&Bottom-Right buttons to 'volume up/down' to make it happen(by using Nook Touch Tools.apk).

Hmm.... I finally got around to looking at this. How are we supposed to change the default language if we don't read Chinese?! I've been looking for pictorial solutions online but so far, no luck.
