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.

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.

"Waking" up from Sleep Mode

Anyone know of a software that will enable the user to "wake" up from sleep mode by just touching the screen?

wow someone is lazy. haha. whats wrong with touching the power button?
If you could touch the screen and it would awake from sleep mode putting the device in your pocket would suck ass because 1) you'd be draining the battery quicker than it already drains and 2) if you didn't lock your phone you'd be dialing numbers, starting applications, or turning the volume on. Now, wouldn't it be embarrassing that you were in a meeting and the "Eye of the Tiger" started playing because someone is called you?
oh don't deny the fact that you considered putting a Rocky theme song as your ringtone to motivate yourself each day.

lol
BUT if i had s2u2 then i wouldnt have to worry about that. i love slide to unlock but i see no point in having it if i have to press the power button to wake up the phone AND slide to unlock it.

I've been in search of such progam for a while now and i still can't find one. It was great on my HP Jornada 567 how i can do it, but not with the Tilt

you make a valid argument. However, you still have to consider battery drain with the device in your pocket the backlight would always be on. I like s2u2 as well but it tends to slow the device down considerably, therefore, i stopped utilizing the application.
Good luck on your searching and please report back to this thread if you do find the software you are looking for.

I am just plain too lazy to hit the power button. Could someone make a slide-to- unlock that is active with the screen backlight off?

Try settings-system-key lock-do not lock buttons. Then you can wake up yor phone by pressing any button except the d-pad and center button

Awesome, that works great. Even easier then sliding the phone open a little. Thanks!

s2u2
s2u2 can wake device with any button if you set it in options. you can also map some button to activate s2u2, so you don't need to press power button

hey, this is interesting for me.
Do you mean that by S2U2 I could map another button to perform Sleep function? I am looking for to map On/Off button to the button #6. I would to sleep my tytn through that button.
any help?
thanks
fausto

I use S2U2, have it mapped to my PTT+hold button. Then settings->system->key lock, set it to lock buttons if device is locked. I usually wake it now by flipping the scroll wheel, then slide to unlock it.
I only use the power button to actually power off or on.

thanks gwnorth, this is very usefull and interesting and I will use for the moment, but this is not yet exactly what I am looking for. What I wanna do is to assign to the ptt button the same functions now assigned to the on/off button, I am shure that there is a command to launch and perform sleep or resume when a button is pressed.
btw, thanks again for the suggestion, it is very appreciated.
ciao

you should just set all the options you want in s2u2, and then just assign button#6 to s2u2. right now i'm trying to assign long push of end button to s2u2. you can find something about remaping keys here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356322&highlight=remap

thanks anti,
I have just installed PHM Keys and it does about 50% of my need. Now when I push the Ptt button it goes in suspend mode. To resume I can use the On/Off button or if i prefer any other button.
thanks,

One-touch method to switch between vibrate and sound on?

I really miss being able to switch between vibrate and ringer/sound-on the way I did on my Kaiser, which was to hold down the camera button (or any button of my choice) for one second.
It seems on the Diamond I either have to touch the taskbar, then the sound icon, then switch it, or, go to Settings tab, then Sounds, then switch it.
Is anyone using a one-touch approach for this on the Diamond, whether it be with a hardware key or on the touchscreen?
Thanks in advance.

You can assign the end call button to switch between ringer and vibrate. Go to Settings>System>Long Key Press and you will see the option.

i just hold vol up/down to switch

Disabling the S2A for TD2?

Is there any option to turn off the slide to answer/ignore feature? I know many people like it but I don't,maybe it's wasting a lot of time for me by sliding side by side. BTW-I don't have any software installed.
Thanks in advance for your comments.

Same here. Very annoying. Had to install Inesoft addressbook and replace the whole dialer.

You can use the |_| button to pickup a call and the |-| button to hang up.
