Something I was really missing: 1 button vibrate toggle, here you are! - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Having an Hermes before, I was really missing the push&hold comm manager vibrate toggle.
I just found this old post which has a great cab allowing me to do this again.
I posted it there for people having less luck with the search tool and/or didnt thought about it.

Which button was the 1 button?

Originally it was the dedicated comm manager button you pressed and held it and it vibrated and did it again and it went to sound same as on the wizard.

I missed this also. Found another thread about remapping the PTT on my ATT Tilt to the push for Comm Manager and hold for Vibrate.

Just use the original cab from

I assign it instead of the recording as I have no use. Now pressing and holding the top left button does it for me.
Wonder why HTC did not make it in the original ROM. I also miss the COMM manager.

Does this work?
That is what I tried, but there isn't a comm button on the Kaiser... It didn't work on any of the buttons I found. Does anyone know the reg key? we could probably change it to the ok/close button instead. I emailed kyphur to see if he knows...

I tried this, and it's a good concept, except the AT&T ROM doesn't expose PTT as a possible button mapping, which means one of the existing start/PIE/messaging/ok/camera buttons would have to be sacrificed for a vibe toggle.
The superfluous PTT button is the obvious candidate for a vibrate toggle but sadly neither of the suggestions allow its use as such.

As the 8525 was eventually hacked for the PTT button to be useful you will have to be patient. This device is new so it takes time.
This works fine, load Vibra Switch, it will place 2 apps in the programs folder "Vibra Switch" and "Vibra Switch Delayed" (you can delete that one). Then in Settings>buttons> Select button 6, the top-left button currently used for single-press=Voice Speed Dial, press-and-hold=Recorder, re-assign the "press-n-hold button to be "Vibra Switch" and you are done.
I've been listing my tweak tries in amother thread, I can't get Bluetooth to redirect all sounds out to headset and I also can't get vjay lumos III to make the display go super bright. With no transreflective screen, this is now a very important tweak to me, I hope these can be figured out.
ahhhhh sweet. you guys are great!

Use a little app called "BTaudio toggle" it works good for me!
Love you spiro! Searched and found BTaudio.exe, Life is good! With my 8525 I had to use Mortscripts, this is easier. Pressing my Jawbone headset button launches VoiceDialer and kills the re-direct, but that's no big deal. I like that I can now launch Voicedialer.
Last tweak remaining is a single button toggle to BRIGHTEN the screen!
Vibra Switch not working
I installed Vibra Switch in my new Tilt but is working as described. Anyone knows why?
i'm not sure about the commands to switch to vibe mode ( i use phone suite) but to expose the PTT button (short and long)
try adding a couple of new reg keys 40C6 and 40C7 in HKLM/software/microsoft/shell/keys. mimic the the keys and values on 40C5 and then soft reset.... it will then show up in the button control panel.
for reference, this is where i got it...

Yes, I can confirm this works well. I've mapped a long press of my PTT button to Vibra Switch, so I just hold it down to toggle between ring and vibrate.

I created a shortcut to the backlight application in /Windows/Programs and then mapped it to a button. A single push of that button brings up the backlight app, from there you can use the right directional button to increase brightness in steps. Biggest problem for me was adjusting brightness outside on a sunny day where the screen can not be seen - this fixes that for me.

Vibrating dial pad buttons

On my old ETEN M600 (RIP) I had a phone pad app/skin that gave me big buttons and when a dial button was pressed the phone vibrated for a 1/4 of a second. It was great physical feedback to feel that little blip when a button was pressed and I believe it allowed me to dial numbers quicker. Anyone know of a app that enables this for the Tilt/Kaiser?
And yes I did a search for this before I posted a new thread.
Thanks

How to set up one button press on/off with device and screen locked
Also for those that are interested. I have AE Button Plus, Ilauncher and DeviceLock by Matt Armstrong installed on my Tilt. The combination of these programs allow me to program the left softkey to turn off the Tilt. Matt's Devicelock auto locks the phone and prevents any other buttons to be pressed. When I want to use the phone I can press the left hard key that corresponds with the left soft key and that turns on the phone and unlocks it with one button push. This set up gives me one button off/on and all other keys and the screen is locked from accidental button pushes. Now I just wished that Devicelock would shut off the phone after 10 seconds if not unlocked. Right now my phone is in my pocket and if I accidentally push any button other then the left hard key my screen will turn on in a locked state and time out only after 1 minute if no other buttons are pressed. I would like it to turn back off faster.
BTW Thanks Matt
Not an app but it can be done with registry tweaking:
[It involves modifying registry keys so beware].
Navigate to HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\
In here there are a bunch of keys named Dtmf which represent all the keypad keys [0-9, #, *]
Rename Standard DWORD parameter Sound to Sound1
Create new String Parameter Sound
Assign value *vibrate* to this new parameter.
Save and exit, test it, then go back and do the same for all your keys, sorted.
A .cab for this?
Is there a .cab floating around for these reg settings?
It would be a great contribution to the community if someone could whip up a cab to make these reg changes ;-)
Wow, now that was usefull. I had installed some small prog to do the same, but it didn't work great. It wouldn't vibrate unless you pressed for a more than 250 ms. This mod vibrates immediately! Thanks!
someone should tell Kaisertweaks that that needs to go in
Here you go, working great on the TyTN II

Thanks Gizmo!
I love this place. Where would WinMo be without xda-developers???
Any chance you could upload the .cab directly instead of zipped? For some reason it won't extract on my tilt and I can't get to a PC tonight.
Thanks again.
Sure thing, here you go
Installed and it is working great. This is really a great tweak!
aren't dtmf tones what are used for things like voicemail and such? like "press 7 to delete" it recognizes the sound? does this affect that at all?
I don't think this tweak has any effect on dtmf tones. I just tried my VM and everything worked as usual.
strange...i installed this on my tilt (htc rom) and when i touched a button there was no vibrate, until about 5 seconds later, it was delayed i guess, and after that i never felt another vibrate, even after a few resets.
bump.
would like to get this working.
Will this make it beep and vibrate or just vibrate? It would be cool it it could do both at once!. Also, maybe post cab to revert back to just the sound in case anyone wants to change it back?
Mikeeey,
Try holding the number down a little longer. If you just touch it, it will display the number but not vibrate.. I had the same trouble also.
I do appreciate the afford, but shouldnt it just work when it notices a keypress, not a long keypress.
You have to hold it for a little time. Thats how it works

That's how the cab file works. But when I did the registry edits as listed in the 2nd post, then it is an immediate vibrate. I used to use the cab file version. I removed that and went with the direct reg edits. Now it vibrates immediately.

thanks for pointing that out dalewinterstein, it works for me now.
i did the manual reg edit to try and make it respond faster but it doesnt, actually the keys lighting up after being pressed dont respond fast enough to my presses, does this happen for anyone else? i mean if i hold it just a bit longer it will light up and vibrate but im normally faster than that.

Mute Button

Is it possible to program one of the hot keys to be a phone mute/unmute button, or is there a need to create an app?
I'll check out if I can make an app out of it tomorrow unless anyone posts anything different. I made a key lock app for the PTT soft button. I might make it mute your call if you're in a call or lock your phone if you're not. Anyway, lets hope it can be done without an app or with an app and you'll have it by tomorrow evening. Do you have the Tilt, Tytn, or Vario?
Thanks for your prompt response. I have an unlocked TYTN II.
You might not have a PushToTalk button. Got any of the other buttons in mind? You can map it to whatever, and I'll check it out tomorrow. See my first post titled "First Post / KeyLock" for my keylock app and a link on how to map the PTT button. Other buttons should be similarly mapped.
Would like to use the green phone button for this purpose.
I'm interested in this too (I swear I live on concalls for work right now). Either the green button or the ok button on the side of the phone. But I'm curious, will the phone have to be "on" (ie: not sleeping) for this to work? Currently I use the reTOUCHed dialer and just go to Call Status screen and tap the mute / unmute toggle on the screen to do this (which works well since they are bigger buttons than the default dialer on the Tilt). But having it mapped to a hardware button would be very nice.
Was there ever any progress on this? I'd like to assign the PTT button to mute/unmute during a call. I am constantly on conference calls and having to use the touchscreen to do this is ridiculous.

AT&T Tilt PTT Remap Solution

I searched all over the place to remap the PTT Button on my AT&T Tilt without altering the ROM. I don't use or want to use Push To Talk services which made the PTT Button useless, Remappers weren't working and the PTT settings screen kept poping up every time I hit the button.
So I tried the following solutions:
1: How to assign a shortcut to EndKey, SendKey, Power Button, PTT Button!!
+ This allowed me to assign another program to the key (Voice Command, Short_PTT.lnk). And it worked fine.
- However, the PTT Settings kept popping up also, though it would go away if I just ignored it.
2: Cingular ROM users: PTT function hacked!
+ Though this is not really for the Tilt/Kaiser, and it would not accept any remap in accordance with its directions, it did disable the PTT Settings program from rearing its ugly head.
++ Combined with solution 1 above, this button does exactly what I want it to do!
Thanks to the 2 contributors, HMA4 and SLEUTH255, Cheers!

Did you delete the PTT registry entry? Otherwise, your remap won't stick.
What I did was
1) delete the PTT registry entry
2) remaps the button using SPB Pocket Plus.
I searched but could not find the registry entry, and I have pocket plus, remapping wasn't working, probly due to the registry (and I'm not very comfortable editing that anyway). This has stuck through several resets, and can be uninstalled if i wish, maybe you could elaborate because I may not understand any negative implications in this method.
I'm pretty new at pocket PC's.
Thanks.
Here ya go!

Here's mine,
1)Disable PTT (Credit to vpoet)
2)In the registry navigate to the hklm\services\ptt
Back it up and delete it (yes the entire key)
3) Install cab
It'll map a new button 6; (two functions-button 6 press and button 6 hold) and also allow you to change whatever is on the button using the button menu in settings.
(It's default icon for button 6 is Voice Speed Dial, and button 6 (hold) is record, but you can change either key to what you want.)

Thanks, I didn't know that I could remap it with SBP Pocket Plus, but it works like a charm.
actually, i found this to be the absolute simplest solution available (no programs, just three registry tweaks):
http://tiltsite.com/2008/02/remap-that-ptt-button/
is there a way to remove PTT from 'Programs' also?
