Greetings,
After searching the forum, I've been unable to discover a tweak so that when I press and hold the red button, I can power on (or off) the radio for the phone. None of the buttonmapping apps that I've played with seems to provide this function. This has been handy on my eten x500 and I'd like to use it on the tilt.
Thanks for a great forum.....glad to be part of the community!
AE Button Plus will.

Thanks,
I'll give it a try.
Maybe
Hmmm, some evidence that an AEBPlus "long press" is not detected on the red button is here.
I attempted to map red button long press to Device Lock and it did not work.

Right, AEB can't detect the long press, but, it can still be mapped for double and tripple presses just fine.
confirm no red button long press
I can confirm that AEBPlus does not work with the red button long press, and that configuring a double or triple press does work to turn off the phone radio.
Oops, sorry about that. I was unaware of the issue with the long press. Hopefully a double press will serve almost as well.

From another thread:
"the regedits HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\LongEndFunction enables or disables the longendkey function.
When I set it to 1 it enables the function, however it only does a devicelock."

I haven't tried it yet.

HTC Mteor hangs at a screen with inscription "Windows mobile" and doesn't boot. So I can't use utility for hard reset.
You can try pressing the 2 soft-keys at the same time as you press (and hold) the power key. That will bring you to a screen asking if you want to restore or quit.
I hope it works for you!
I'd guess you would have to try reflashing the rom.
It helped me without reflashing. Does this combination of buttons work at HTC S310? I've the same problem with this device as I had with my Mteor. I've installed software there which was not designed for these smartphones.
Is that the same 2 keys to get to the bootloader?
No, electronic punk.
For the bootloader, you press the camera button and the power button at the same time.
I am saying press the left + right softkeys (the ones just under the screen, with the joystick in the middle) and the power button at the same time.

its works thanks !
you have to
- switch off device
- push L+R softkeys and keep pushed while next step
- then turn on (short push power is ok - like you are used to do it), keep L+R pushed
It works for every device I had so far (see signature) that has keys.
Mind that Hardreset deletes all data on the device!
Does anyone have experience in configuring FakeCursor?
I've kind of got it to work so far, I've assigned a hardware button to launch FakeCursor via it's shortcut, however when I press the button again to turn FakeCursor off it always goes back to the Home screen, which is annoying.
What I'd like to be able to do is just have one button which turns the cursor on and the same button to turn it off? Any ideas how I could get that configured?
Cheers
try sphelper, this is i think better...

I have it mapped with Long_Home.lnk. The cross-hairs will appear for a second, then disappear and only reappear when you move it (with the directional pad).
Hold home to turn it on, hold home to turn it off (it will put you back on the home screen when it exits, this is a [poor] function of FakeCursor).

That's exactly how I have it configured . I was wondering if there was a way it wouldn't dump you back to the home screen, but it seems not?

I'm pretty sure that is a function of FakeCursor, not the mapping. It would be nice, but FakeCursor hasn't been updated for several years.
For some reason, my powerbutton is malfunctioning and there is no way to repair it. I wonder if there is a way to change the settings in the phone and not allow the power button when being long pressed to try to reboot the phone. Does somebody know how to tweak the phone and get this result?
Thank you.
I think pshutxp may help you here.
If I recall correctly you can set it to trigger the shutdown menu on a long press of the end key. You can then cancel the shutdown if the key has been pressed by mistake.
doubt it think it's harder connected as
even if my phone freeze 100% up
and that would mean that any software button setting
is not being enforced as the system is not responding
long press reset the phone
so I'd take that as it's not controlled
by windows mobile
I've remembered what it was now... it's not a feature of pshutxp, it was Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool that I was playing around with.
Use the key mapping feature to assign a program to the long press power key setting. I tried using this with pshutxp in the past.

I have to really thank you Dave!
I ended up fixing it by re mapping the power key using the Adv. config program and making the long press power key to call the Tasks program. I was in need of a program that was going to do nothing like the Tasks program which actually runs in the background.
Before, some months ago I used this same re map of the hard keys but calling a Power off program and it was very annoying. Key here was to choose a program like this one.
I was wondering if there was a way to re-map the power button to the OK button so when i want to turn on my x1 screen instead of pressing the power button i press the Ok button or maybe another button?
would this be possible? thanks,
Not sure about the re-mapping, but there's a setting under settings>system>key lock that lets you wake up the device by pressing any hardware key.
I need this too!
Have you tried with one of the several button/key mapping tools available?
Did you tried long pressing end call button? Mine locks screen...
Cheers!
Edit: Try AE Button Plus to map your keys.
Is anyone else, who uses long press shortcuts on the capacitive buttons, having problems with it?
My device randomly activates the long press when I intend to use its normal function. I had to disable it as one of the functions was to lock it up.
Do you have a problem like if you press the capactive button, it sometimes stays lit and doesn't do anything unless you press it again? I wonder whether is this hardware or software related.

No... My situation is that when I press it normally, it process as if I long press the button, doing the associated task I put int the configuration... I had to remove that setting as I used the long press to lock the device and it was starting to annoy me a lot.
