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.

HTC Home dial pad

I've downloaded the HTC Home theme, but it did not change the dial pad, I need a larger dial pad, like the one on the HTC Touch but I can't find it. I figured it would come with the theme, but no luck. Any help?

You will also find there a nice looking calculator skin to match, the communications manager is also great, because it has 3G on/off.
The actions screen is also excellent, if you don't mind that it doesn't work very well in landscape.

You mean something like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355085

Try this dial pad... I am using it. The other cooked dial pads mentioned elsewhere are missing the "Talk" button and when you enter a # manually it then becomes a three click process to make a call. Install on your device memory, not on SD card.

Great, thank you

Dial Pad
Dear Asfoor, If I don't like the dial pad, can I Remove it ????
Thank you
Danny

I installed the dial pad (on the device), reset the phone etc., The new dial pad is like the previous but one can see the buttons of the carbon fiber dial pad underneath the previous buttons. After the call is placed, the buttons on the second dial pad (the ones that have the "speakerphone on" etc.) are in the carbon fiber black skin. When I ask for the keypad, it goes back to the "old" buttons. Any thoughts?

is dialing without touch screen possible?

Hi,
are there any applications or tweaks to make the phone screen buttons selectable with the hardware cursor buttons and the centre button to press them?
At the moment speed dial menu comes up which is ok but I would prefer to press phone and cursor around the screen selecting the numbers then press phone again to make the call.
I want to be able to dial a number without opening my hard case.
Thanks.
Ian

What about voice command? If you don't have all the buttons accessible in your case you can re-map one.

Phone manual dialing
anyone else had any joy on this?
I tried SPC phone suite and Shell both of which improve general one hand usability but not for dialing.
SPB Shell has a contact search screen with cursor key driven use of phone pad buttons but bot for the dialer of the phone - I asked them to look into it.
Voice command - any trial version available?

I love Voice Command, worthy the $. There is no need to train the app, it recognizes all of your contacts immediately.

See No Evil 2.5 ?

I just got a Tilt and tried the SNE 2.5. For anyone using it I have a few questions.
My Fn keys don't seem to line up to the keyboard for example
On the Tilt Q has ! on it and W has @ on it. When I do Fn and Q I get @ instead of !. Other keys have this issue as well.
Also I get a rainbow color at the top when in portrait mode.
I can't seem to make voice dialing a side button like I could with my 8525 default ATT ROM.

**This is NOT intended as a flame**
You did not read properly before jumping in head first. Start with the Kaiser Wiki and GWENI linked in my signature.

just install this and soft reset. It will fix your keyboard settings. bye.

Thank both and I didn't see that wiki. The keyboard is fixed but I don't see anything in the wiki about the rainbow coloring I am having. The voice command that the wiki talks about isn't my issue. Button 6 exists but with this ROM it doesn't list the Voicecommand as a option under all the settings.

post a screen shot of the rainbow coloring you are receiving.

Here you go.

That really isn't a screenshot so I cannot answer the rainbow question because I can hardly see it. Anyhow, I'm sure you searched how to remap button 6. There are a few cab files floating around that will allow you to do that without any issues.

That is a battery status bar.
Take a look at the SNE thread to confirm it.

Sorry try this shot.
It's not button 6 that's the issue it's that voice dial isn't listed as an app that can be applied to button 6.
Thanks jym04 that is what the coloring is at the top. Thank you for pointing it out.
Now if I can figure out why a MMS message isn't downloading and the voice dial I can use this thing.
A side note on the 8525 the 3G icon wouldn't be big like it is in my picture it would always show two arrows saying it's constantly connected. I used the tweaks that are built into the ROM to say always connected but nothing.

with the bar on top of your display (you call it rainbow color) you can watch your battery status. It´s not a bug, it´s a feature

Create a shortcut to voice dial in your Start Menu (or subdirectory therein). Then it will appear as an app that you can apply to buttons.
I got flamed for asking a similar question (different app) and I couldn't find an answer through search either.

Thank you Exitao!

Wow proud to see ppl still flashing my ROMS...

MS Voice Command on Diamond

Ok, I must be having a brain fart today as I can't find the info I need after multiple searches. I have MSVC installed on my Diamond and it's the latest version (1.6.19214) that I'm aware of. It works perfectly so far and I can activate it with no issues using my Motorola T505 when connected with Bluetooth.
What I cannot do is activate MSVC directly on the phone. There are no buttons available to assign for it in the button settings. Does anyone have a simple and complete set of instructions of how to assign a button of some sort on the Diamond to activate MSVC? Much appreciated and thanks!
James

Go to
settings - Buttons - Button 1 Hold can be reassigned if its the same as the touch pro.

That's the issue I'm having, there is nothing listed in the buttons settings to assign or to re-asign. The window is blank and I can't see any way to add a button into the window to assign. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Hi ,
My solution was to re-assing the "Phone" screen buton on TF3D to Voice command :
From Diamnod Tweaks list :
31. Remap Manila softkeys:
HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/
HomeLSKPath, which is the left softkey (Standard = Phonepad)
And
HomeRSKPath, which is the right softkey.
If you change these with the location of the programs you want to link to, and simultaneous change the names:
HomeLSKText = Left softkey text
And
HomeRSKText = Right softkey text.

Thanks, I'll have a look at that one. I thought there was a way though to remap a "long press" on the talk button or some such to activate voice command? Cheers!
James

joudbren,
interesting, I am just about the ask the same question as I just got my motorola t505 yesterday.
My other question is, when I first pair with motorola t505, I could get voice confirmation , then I say yes to make the call. Now I don't get voice confirmation at all, if I yes, it will make the call, if I say no it will not make the call.
I am wondering how can I get the voice confirmation back

Did you ever find a way to do this? I have MSVC running as a program but cannot assign it to a key.

Apart the solution above , I use Gscroll by tapping twice on the center wheel. It's working on 90% of the time.
