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

Basically the program has to do the following:
1- I want the RED (front facing) "call end" button to work like the Treo 750. So pressing it while in the Today screen switches off the phone, pressing it again switches the phone on. Pressing it while in an application takes you to the today screen.
2- After doing that then we don't need the hidden phone on/off button so we can make it into a silent/mute button. So a long press on this button while the phone is either on or off will put the phone in silent mode, also very similar to the Treo's profile slider.
Anyone reading this is up to the challenge?
Anyone here has any other requests? Let's make a list and see who is up to the challenge.

Not up to it, but why'd you want that. Switch phone/flight mode can be assigned to any hw button except call or call end, assign the same button(hold) for mute/unmute and there you are.
Call/end call buttons not being assignable is a hardware limitation, accordig to spb software house (pocket+).

Ok so how can I assign the mute/unmute to a hardware button as I can't find it in the settings--->buttons' drop down menu?
I use spb pocket plus to assign buttons. It has the mute option standard in its list of button tasks. There might be freeware apps that let you do the same, but I don't know them (as I allready had a copy of spb pocketplus from my previous windows mobile device)
Edit: AE Button plus seems to be a freeware app that can do what you want...

And if "hold" is a suitable alternative to mute, you don't have to do anything... pressing in the volume button toggles the call on/off hold. At least on my Tilt.

AE Button worked well. Now I can mute/unmute at a touch of a button. I haven't tried its full potential yet.
Thanks for the great tip.
Still though I wouldn't mind a power feature like the Treo. I do not like that itty bitty recessed power botton on the right...
On a side note I'm going to try and see if there is a reg key on the Treo I can copy to the Kaiser where when you are in PIE and hold the action button it pops up the IE menu. That's nice. Not sure why its only on the Treo. I guess for it's one handed nature... What, I don't get to use my Kaiser with a one handed nature in mind?...

Hmmm, that might be a useful map for AE button... for the side "ok" button, map a double-click to the left softkey, and press/hold to the right one (and single-click stock OK). Between that and the scroll wheel, that should make for some pretty easy one handed operation.
Just tested it.. works well, though the side OK button is a bit stiff/recessed to easily double-click with a thumb. May take some getting used to.
Hey guys,
I think i have found what your looking for. I also needed to toggle my Flight mode by a button because since most ROM versions of WM5 and WM6 Flight mode can`t be switched by tapping the signal meter at the top of the screen.
I installed this app and linked it to Button 6/Recording (Press & Hold) and now it switches Flight Mode On and Off. This is what i needed.
Look here: http://toosten.de/index.php?seite=sw&id=7
Have fun with it
One thing for now i noticed. When activating Flight Mode, it just turns off the Phone Signal and not BT when enabled. I am contacting the author of teh tool to see if some options can be added.
I want to assign a shortcut for speaker on/off to some key (like the recording button on the left side) so i can shift to speaker while being on call. can i do it? I tried it using the settings -> buttons but couldnt find the shortcut for speaker
Can't you just switch to speaker by holding down the call button during a call?
no...during call if i press the dial button (green one) it puts it on hold
there is a touch screen button for the speaker on/of but i want it on the button only.
You can do this through ae button plus.
a link to the cab would help me a lot please...

awesome man....works like charm....
When changing sound profile I have to go to Settings - Sound - and choose my profile. The "old" HTC Home had a profile tab. Isn't there an easier/faster way to change sound profile?
Do you mean like click the volume up\down button on the left of the phone and select silent, vibrate or change the volume?
Even easier

Go to Start->Settings->System->Long Press End Key->choose: Set Vibrate/Ringer
Nothing easier possible, but the "Shaking" method explained elsewhere here.
Enjoy,

Do a prolonged bottom right key press and a menu will come up with one of the options being vibrate mode or ringer mode (it is a toggle).
You can also set it such that the prolonged key press toggles the two modes, rather than bring up the menu.
Is it possible to use central circle button to switch on the display of the PDA instead of use ON/OFF button?
Thank you.
would like to know if the center button can be map as the power button too.
Its not as you asked, bight might be worht considering:
If you go to settings>system>Lock Buttons and choose do not lock buttons, then all the buttons including the center button will trun on the screen.
Yes. Now every time I want to switch on the display I have to push the upper ON/OFF button and I think it would be better if i could do it by pressing the central circle button?
Thank you
Yes omar32, but i do not like this option because if all buttons are enabled, it is very easy to push them accidentalty and to do calls, etc that you do not want. I want that when the PDA is deactivated, i can switch display on with ON/OFF button or pressing the central circle button, but with others buttons disabled.
Thank you
I agree with you guys. If diamond is a phone why it can behave like a real normal phone. Using this stupid ON/OFF button is very inconvenient and annoying! I miss normal lock keypad-I mean like in SE press * and lock button(s0ft button) to unlock in reverse direction.To get this feature I have to use 3d party software like s2u2 which does the thing but destroys other like receiving MMS etc. I'm getting bored of this phone ale looking for all the time for the compromise between one feature I need and another.Just wanted a PHONE with possibilities of PDA not PDA with option of PHONE
So, is it no possible to use central circular hw button to switch on the display?

Hi
I can tell you how I "resolved" this problem possibly closest to the "normal" phone
First: in settings /system -> key lock -> set: DON't lock the buttons
Second: because pressing ON/OFF button is very inconvenient we have to bypass it..There are few programs *.exe which does exactly the same what ON/OFF button. So search the web for turnOff.exe and map it with soft key manager to any of the soft buttons you like(right or left).This lets you turn off the phone without pressing ON/OFF button on the top.
Third: Because now buttons are not locked it's easy to wake up the phone in the pocket and press sth on the touch screen so you have to use s2u2 for locking/unlocking. And that's all you have to do is spend some time on configuring s2u2 this is the hardest thing here.
Now you can wake up the phone with any button you like and unlock it in iPhone style(thanks to s2u2), when want to lock it you press the soft button mapped to turnOff.exe and that's it- you got your phone locked and turned off.
If somebody knows a different way to do it please share with us
From previous samsung phones, pressing the volume all the way down will turn into silent. Now i cant do it on my S21Ultra, i have to go the toggle buttons on top to keep it silent.
Anyway to use the volume keyagain?
Press volume button once which will bring volume, tap the three ... and you will be able to change volume there. That's besides the volume toggle in the quick toggles
**actually just playing around, if you go into settings>sounds and vibration>volume> and uncheck use volume keys for media, that will bring back using volume switch for silent,vibrate and etc

Welcome!
I use an app called sideActions. Some of the features are paid, but works pretty well. Allows you to bind actions to press of power button or volume buttons. I use power button long press to switch sound modes and short + long press for flashlight.
