Hi Everyone. I was hoping someone might be able to help me with something. I'm looking for a way to assign a different key on my AT&T tilt as the power button. Basically I would like to have the end key act as the power button when it is pressed down and held for a few seconds. I've been searching all the Kaiser threads the last couple days. And I've found several threads that start to mention the topic, but I'm still not clear on it. The best solution looked to be AE button plus...but then I saw in another thread that it doesn't work for the power button. So, if this kind of question has already been answered, I apologize...I just couldn't find it.
So, can anyone either push me in the right direction, or give me some pointers on the best way to search for this info on the site? I really appreciate it.
Thanks!!!
The power key is connected directly to the mainboard so as far as i'm aware there is no way to assign a different button to power.
However there may be a way to assign the end call key to turn the phone off only, but it wouldn't be able to turn it back on unless you use the power key.
I'll have a look now.
AE Button Plus would work for turning it off, it does have that option. However, you would still need to use the regular power button to turn it back on.
Hi
I have a touch diamond and a problem with the headphone cable.
I often carry the phone in my pocket, the cable plugged in and in turns
around the phone. It happens that the button is pushed twice and the phone makes a call of the last used number.
Is there any chance to disable this function?
Sorry for my English, I hope the problem is clear and it is the right Theme.
I searched at/in google(german/english). But i didnt found anything. So I think I didnt used the right keywords.
Best regards

Hi,
sorry for that double post, but maybe I have some tips.
It isnt any button on the phone (its not the recall button. I tried the program AE button +). Now, I try to edit the regestry. If you have any Idea, that might help me. Write me a PM or post it here, please.
So far,

Edit: I installed the program "HTC BUTTON"(thats a little Programm for the Touch HD, with this program you can switch songs by double clicking on the headphone button). Now, if I double click on that button, i get a problem report. Thats enough for me.
Hm, my english is realy bad, isn't it? Im realy sorry.
If you have something for me (like a similar programm for the diamond), tell me, please.
So far,

Hi all, please can you help me with this!?
Firstly when my phone boots or is taken out of sleep mode it immediately activates voice record as if this button has been pressed. It then opens the dialler and types ‘EDFC’. If I open pocket word and then wake the phone up it also types ‘EDFC’ before doing the above.
My keyboard is not working and the only hardware buttons that function are the power button (only for a while), the camera button and the silver select button in the middle of the d-pad. The jog wheel and silver directional d-pad buttons occasionally come to life. The others don’t work (green call and red end buttons, ok, windows etc).
When I use the standard keyboard SIP on the screen the directional buttons and delete do not function?!
I’ve reverted to a stock ROM to make sure this isn’t the problem.
It appears as though my Kaiser thinks these buttons are being depressed, but I’ve checked them and they click normally and release when pressed (even though they don’t perform a function) so nothing is stuck down etc….
I’m going to use AE Buttons to try and unhinge the button functions for now, but it would be great if someone has any suggestions!!
Thanks in advance.
Update - AE Button won't unhinge the buttons or change their function to anything else (e.g. nothing). I can't stop this from happening every time the phone boots/wakes up!
Help!
Mine got the same symptoms last week except it opens quick something or other,and then the dialler dials 2547.The screen for my pin then comes up,which I can enter normally.Home screen fires up normally but the keyboard will not work or any buttons except the silver one in the middle.Searched a bit and this problem is very common although I cannot find a solution anywhere.Can someone please help
AE button didn't work?
When mine did that, I reset all the hardware buttons (not the keyboard, just the buttons reachable from the outside. A soft reset and viola!
That's the only solution I have. It's worked for me 2x.
Also try pulling the battery for 20 seconds or so and restarting. That has fixed my touchscreen not working after it gets spashed 3x. Yeah, my phone is old and abused, but keeps working.

Thanks for your replies - I've got Orange sending me another one in the morning now and sods law it's just stopped happening.... Taking the replacement anyway in case it happens again.
For my knowledge, how did you reset the buttons? I deleted some registry keys to completely stop them working (although I couldn't find the registry keys for the red and green buttons).
Searching on Google there are quite a few reports of this, but no one has ever posted the cause!
I am having the same problem... please help. My phone is going crazy. I did a hard reset but still didnt solve the problem....
I am also having this issue. Phone starts typing EDFC and then initiates the voice recorder. I reflashed various ROMs and regardless of what was flashed.. initially they appeared okay, then it started happening again. I also tried hard and soft resets. Nothng has worked so far.
I resorted to disabling the keys and some of the applications which I dont use which appear to be getting started/run (Voice recorder for one). So far I havent had the issue, knock on wood.
I think this is more than likely a hardware error. My tilt is actually pretty old so I wouldnt be surprised. If someone finds either the cause or a workable solution please post. Im trying to hold off until January when my contact expires to get a new HTC.
I searched and searched but found no solution for this and ended up getting the phone replaced.
HTC seemed to know nothing of such a problem....
Have you tried whacking it?!!?
Hope you get it sorted.

Hmm, yes, but I don't see how that helped my phone.
lol, all jokes aside, my friends, I ask in this thread as well,
what is causing this problem? I ran into this issue after ALL my buttons stopped working (except for the power).
I installed a new rom (I forget which one), and still nothing works except for power button.
It would be even better if someone knows the solution!
-Calling for Help-I'm still convinced it is a software/registry problem...
Okay, so there's no solution available for this weird problem of ours.
On the bright side, however, it is amazing that we can still use the phone, even after it requires servicing (some way or another). I have accepted this handicap that has been placed on my phone for now, simply hoping it will grow out of it one day.
But something isn't right. When I looked in the registry (trying to follow some directions I found within the wiki for when your keyboard STILL doesn't work properly), there was a discrepancy between what was supposed to be found in the registry and what was actually there. It wasn't that the values were wrong, it was the names of the values that were different. Why could this be?
Or even if you have moment of time, and you have an AT&T Tilt, and it works perfectly, maybe you could write up a run down of what you have hanging around in that section of the registry?
Hey, just so I can be sure, is there some place I can cross check what I have in my HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP with what is supposed to be there in a fully functioning AT&T Tilt?
Oh no, not another buttons thread. Oh well, I searched the forum for an answer but dreaded going through the zillion posts ( I only went through a million ). You know that tiny little button at the top of your Diamond that turns the device on an off? Well I would like to be able to use a different button to do that task. If possible I would like to use the back key <-- located on the front of the device to turn my Diamond on and off. Is this possible?
Hi everyone, on the Cyanogen roms, im sure you all know, when you have a call on your phone, and the screen goes out, you have to press another button to wake it cause the red button will end it. haha Ive dropped a lot of calls this way, cause im so used to Sense. But i saw a post a long time ago (i think) on remapping this so it will wake but not end. Does anyone know the code or where that link it to remap it?
You could do that, but I would highly recommend againt it. The end call button is so intricately tied to other key functions like screen on/off, device on/off, etc. that if you mess it up you would be unhappy. Of sourse since you would be modifying system files you could fix it by a nand restore or a ROM flashover, but why worry about it? Just get used to waking the phone up with the menu key and you'll be fine. There's an app called button remapper in the fora here that is the easy way to remap hard keys, or use the link below to manually make the edits. Good luck.
