Hello all,
First, you guys are great. This is my first post because I've been able to figure out just about everything by just searching and reading. So thanks to all of you!
Second, I'm going crazy trying to figure out how to assign a hard button to silent my phone (not set it to vibrate which vibra switch does wonderfully). I have AEButtons and I have found that HTC Home has the silent function I'm looking for within it, but can't find the command anywhere so I can't associate it with a button.
I have searched for a while and have only found threads concerning silencing an incoming ring but not any that say how to silence the entire phone via a hard button modification.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!
you could try using MortScript, which i assume u will find ok

This one's got me stumped, I may just be overlooking a simple answer but it hasn't happened previously on my Magician or Vario before.
I carry my Vario III around in a large coat pocket for most of the time. I have a lot of appointments and calls which activate the screen when they occur. I then have the problem when fishing around for the device that a) I answer the call from touching the screen, b) End the call from touching the screen, c) Open a load of different apps where the appointments have made the screen go live and the movement in the pocket has brushed the screen.
All I want to do is use only the hardware buttons ie. Answer, End, Power button. Where can I find the settings for this? The "key settings" menu or "buttons" doesn't cover it so where is it? It's driving me mad!
Hold down the 'red' phone button to lock all but 'Power' and 'Unlock' soft key.
You can still answer a call as normal when it comes in with the with the 'green' phone key.
Thanks. I know about the standard lock, but then you're into multi key press territory to unlock it. I just wondered if someone knew of a way (or program) that once the screen was off it stayed off until the answer, reject or power button was pressed and then in the case of the power button the device returns to "normal".
I'm not sure if your idea would be very viable. The screen has to come on so that you can see who's calling!
Pretty pointless to reject a call when you don't know who it is.
I understand what you are trying to get at but wouidn't you still have the problem of not being able to use any other functions within a call like looking up a Contact or checking your Calendar. Hitting the Power button during a call to get back to normal use would be a bit 'hit n miss'.
Thanks for the reply. I agree it's not ideal and I guess if it was something everyone wanted someone would have brought a .CAB out for it. That my Q answered in any case. Thanks again.
Try searching the forum for 'S2U2'. It might be what you're looking for.
That should cover it just fine. Thanks for the pointer.
Nice one helterskelter
Didn't think he would want to open it to answer a call thats all as he seems to have big fingers and hit everything but 'Answer'
No, sorry, just my dark humour...
Hope you are sorted.
Good evening, guys!
I have a very strange problem, I'm new to PPC scene and bought a HTC TyTN II for christmas. I flashed my ROM and I'm using Dutty's Rom... I noticed that the "green phone" hard key isn't working. I think it worked before flashing, because when I pressed the button it opened my Contacts, now nothing happens, even the light of the pad doesn't go on. Is it a hardware issue or software? I really don't want to do a hard reset, because I did it a couple of times...
No suggestions?
I did a hard reset, but the problem's still here.. it might be a hardware issue.
But how could I know? Or maybe it's the radio?
Please help me!
I've changed the radio to 1.27.12.17 but the problem's still here... I'm really confused. When somebody calls me there's no way to answer him. Very strange. Is there a button mapping program, that can change these buttons? I'll be happy if I can use the start button as the "green phone" button if there's no solution...
I dont know how to fix your button problem but as to answering phone calls, when someone calls it should say answer on the bottom left corner of your screen and you can press it to answer.

Thanks. I noticed that it's a hardware problem... when I press it very hard it works... strange. Do I need to change to the default HTC ROM if I want to give my device for fixing?
Yes. Look at the Wiki and the sticky threads. The process is detailed there.
I have a T-Mob MDA Var 3. When i make a call on battery power the backlight doesn't stay on. annoyingly, the only way to turn it on during a call is to hit the power button.
This seems silly as I might want to place someone on hold or start a conference, etc. I have set the backlight defaults not to turn off on external or battery power.
Does anyone know how how I can stop the backlight turning off during calls?
Thanks
Disable fast sleep and sleep ...
Use KaiserTweak below:

Thanks for the quick reply - i will try that!
Not another lazy noob....
I've tried Kaiser Tweak, and verified the registry settings. I've used google, the XDA Forum and the XDA Wiki. Still, my backlight/call end problem persists. My ROM is the most current version.
Can anyone help? I really like the Kaiser, but this problem makes it all but unusable.
Thanks,

did you soft reset?
Yes....I've run Tweak and soft reset numerous times.
Thanks for checking. I'm not sure I haven't missed something.

Mine does this. very anoying especially when calling voicemail or an automated call system where you have to press keypad numbers. Have to keep turning the phone on to press the keypad.
(Sorry - this was previously in the wrong thread category)
Hi,
after installing some software apps (numerous freeware utilities), my diamond does not ring anymore when I am called (it does vibrate).
I have checked everything but cant switch the darn ringing on again - other sonds work fine, it just doesn't ring. This is the second time this has happend - after the first time the hard-reset fixed the problem, but then I reinstalled several programs again and the same problem is back again.
Does anyone have any ideas what I can do about this without doing a hard reset?
Perhaps there is a Tweak utility where I can see if the ringing has been switched off?
Please help.
Thanks in advance - I would really appreciate any suggestions.

didi you installed pointUI and the SystemInternalsV2????
you might not like the answer, but hard reset has fixed that problem for me with the diamond and 2 other htc phones i had in the past.

What is pointUI ? - I have the standard diamond branded user interface from O2 with all the system internals and the ROM version 1.93.207.2 German.
Please help me - I really do not want to do a hard reset because the last time I could not retrieve my back up with the Sprite backup utility .
Thanks in advance for any help.
i can't believe i'm now posting in this. i remember telling you to post this on the main diamond forum and now i'm having the same problem.
i've tried putting the ringtones in the internal storage, and on the phone's main memory, sometimes i hear the ring for a split second before it goes silent.
from searching, it seemed like some people have had this issue with some SRS WOW program but I don't have that.
have you been able to resolve this? I too would like to avoid a hard reset if at all possible, i just got the phone setup the way i want it and it would take a ton of time to get it back....
This may sound stupid, but give it a try, it has helped before...
Go to the settings tab in TF3D.
Tap Sound
Set Volume at 100%
Sometimes, the ring volume gets reset to 0 by itself, and it took me 4 weeks before I found it, after trying about everything, from uninstalling every app to hacking the registry.

that's usually one of the first places i check... i'll keep it in mind though.
i think i might have an idea what my issue might be, so it was working this morning but i noticed microsoft's voice command was announcing the name of the caller as it was ringing. so i think it might be an issue with the msvc. i'm going to try disabling the voice announce and see what that does...
Problem Solved!
Hi,
guess what - I finally found the solution
I never bothered to read the Diamond manual as I believed the user friendly interface to be self-explanitory - however, I overlooked something very important!
When setting the volume up or down by means of the buttons on the left hand side of the Diamond, the usual vertical bargraph type of display appears and reacts according to how the adjutment is made with the volume up or down buttons, this is clear. There is also the possibility to mute the phone or to put it into vibration-only mode.
Now, at the top left hand side, there is an arrow (looks like this: <). If you quickly tap on that with the stylus before the screen goes away again, you will get a new screen for another setting - now this setting is for adjusting the ringing volume / mute / vibration settings (now the arrow is on the top right and looks like this: >
It is so simply expained: The system volume is not the same as the telephone ringing volume and just requires the quick click on the top left hand side of the screen and voila, bob is your uncle! You can then set the ringing volume up and your phone will ring again.
I wantend to know why the heck the ringing volume just changes or what caused the problem and I have also been able to determine why the ringing volume settings change - to explain:
When setting the SYSTEM VOLUME to mute - then the PHONE RINGING VOLUME is also muted! However, when then setting the system volume up again, the ringing volume still remains muted! This is important to know and it can also happen accidentally or it may be forgotten to reset the ringing volume. I dare to say that this was not really thought about very well and I hope the developers will change this or show a VOLUME STATUS for both the SYSTEM and RINGING volumes somewhere on the desktop/today screen.
... or would that not be a good project for a developer here on this forum perhaps? I would appreciate a comment here...
Thanks anyway for the kind responses and willingness for your help.
I have to date still not read the actual over 260 page little manual booklet, but it probably is described in there. Moral of the story: RYFM (for those who know what that stands for)
Amendment: Found it described on page 42 in the manual booklet - it's actually described there but can be easily overlooked and it is not described that the system volume settings affect the ringing volume settings.
Ok, so the phone rings now but I have a similar problem with my GPS receiver
I will open another thread for this - hopefully someone can help me.
Best regards,
Mike - Germany.
I had the same problem.
It happened to me.
All the system sounds were fine, but the ring wasn't there.
Checked settings, change ringtone, tried a lot of stuff.
I was begginning to think about a hard reset when I found my problem origin:
At least in the ROM that I use (Shaks), when you press one of the volume keys in the side of the phone, you change system and ring volume.
If I press it all down, it goes to zero then vibrate then silent, and normally the system and ringer volumes are equal when you do this.
In that system volume screen that appears when you press volume key, there is a arrow in the top left. If you press it, you'll go "ringer volume" screen. I noticed that system volume was in maximum but the ringer volume didn't fallow it.
That said, if your ROM uses the volume keys in that same way, press that arrow and check if the ringer volume is on too.
Hello Guys, (love this forum)
I have the HTC PRO and I'm getting depressed because the volume buttons alway (somehow) turn down the volume of the ringtone. I miss calls more then ever.
I searched this forum but couldn't find any answers to this.
I did found one solution for the HD. Change something in the Register (defaultpage from 1 to 0) Didn't on my Pro aswell on the HD of my friend.
Anyone else got a clue to switch this buttonoption off. Tho I need the buttons for the systemvolume. Maybe somebody knows how to get rid of the ringpage completly and just leaving the systempage working.
MANY THANKS to Anybody that can help..!
(if I did anything wrong on this forum or upset anyone - sorry, I am a newbe)

I can honestly only advise 1 thing, and that is that you install S2U2 which is a free soft that locks your phone and the buttons as well,
I've got another option which is changing the volumecontrol.dll but afterwards all your apps will minimize every time you open the keyboard = flip the screen... And this is even more annoying when you want to reply to an sms...
I had the same problem but S2U2 is the best option
Another vote for S2U2
But, if you have updated to the "leaked" 6.1 update (at&t rom), it might cause you a headache, at least it did with me. When the phone would announce an incoming call, s2u2 & the new built in slide to answer will fight each other.
Wait, I think you mean that when you put the system volume down, the ring volume goes down...right. You can put the system volume down and tap the Ring tab and put that volume up.
