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):

is there a way to remove PTT from 'Programs' also?

Any one have Voice Command working (soft key?)

I believe at one point I could assign MS Voice Command to an icon and add the icon the programs list, it now only appears under buttons and I have to use my only available hard button to get it to launch. Why cant they make that big middle button a press and hold option as well?
Any ideas?
TIA

Voice Command on Diamont
Have you tried using AEBUTTON PLUS? You can assign the center button to anything. I havent installed Voice Command yet but I do have Aebutton plus working on the center button to launch PI Informant Calendar. It should work with voice command also.

Press and hold the "green" call key.. While on the hope screen.. You'll get the voice command running

That's interesting, I couldn't get it to install properly. Can only see it in settings and not in programs.

i just figured out how to get it to work....
vc1.6 i installed it 5 times and did not work after i assigned my only f))king button it just one beep not like used to 3 beeps so i create a icon in programs dir and then link button to that it works perfect.

Button on the headphone's, can it be remapped?

Hello People,
I've looked around and can only find details for remapping the PTT button, which has no affect on the button on the headphones.
If you double press the button it calls the last number you dialed, If you press and hold it, it opens voice commander (if installed) But ive installed Microsoft Voice Command and now the function has stopped working all together, do any of you know how to manipulate this button in the registry?
Thanks in advance.

remapping the PTT button to the voice speed dial

I installed this app and the only thing it seems to have done is disable the PTT button entirely. That's nice, I suppose, but it's also not what I want. What I want is for the button to be remapped to "Voice Speed Dial".
According to the first post, you have to "reset your Hermes device" and then "simply customize the preferred Button 5 setting". Only problem is that on my AT&T Tilt, there already is a Button 5 and it's mapped to the camera. I reset my device by doing a hard shut down and restarting it. I then go into the Buttons app and don't see any new buttons.
Any ideas? Is there another app that I should be using specific to the HTC TyTN II?

Go to start>settings>personal>buttons, the PTT button is button 6 not 5. Or use AEButton plus to remap all your buttons.

The Buttons app isn't presenting me with six buttons, though - it's only presenting me with five. And the link for AEButton plus is down. A Google search for "AEButton plus", however, suggests that you have to purchase it to use it.

Sounds like you have WM 6.0. 6.1 allows mapping so one option is to flash a 6.1 rom. You can also create a shortcut in the Windows folder for a long press of PTT (or other buttons). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356322
