Is there a regedit (phm) tweak that changes the left-hand soft key from "video call" to "voice call" or to "contacts" and make a voice call from there. I'm refering to the phone screen NOT the home screen
My rom is 1.93.405.1
The manila entries only refer to home screen changes.
This phone is a replacement, the previous one was fine in this respect.
Call me paranoid, but I can only think that this is a cynical ploy by orange to force people to make expensive video-calls and if I do hit the "video-call" soft key it invariably tells me that 3g is not available and would I like to make a voice-call instead which isn't a huge hassle but one less click would be more desirable.
Also can anyone tell me if the 'screen blackout during call' has been fixed yet and/or if I can tweak it from the registry yet?
any resolution
Guys, any resolution for the post above. I'm kinda in the same boat and looking for a solution.

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.
I've searched the threads trying to find a setting that would allow the backlight to be on while making a call on the diamond.
I adjusted the backlight to two minutes but after making the call the screen goes off and if I need to input other number during the call I have to press the power button to get the screen back, is there anyway I can delay the screen for longer? It is a pain when you have to call say, customer service and enter a few options before getting to the right department.
Install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413798 or DiamondTweak which has the option to disable it.
Thank you so much for that info. I installed the Diamond Tweak and it is already doing wonders on my Diamond. Thanks again!!

How to the "Video Call" softkey back to "Normal Call" on Diamond Phone Screen
When you press the Call hard button on Diamond, you will find a "Video Call" softkey at the bottom left. Anyone know how to change the reistry to make the "Video Call" softkey become "Normal Call".
Anyone could help me please^^

sorted - use the cab file
He is asking to change it to Normal Call instead of Video Call, where as the link you posted is to change it to Conacts.
i'm also interested in this, though i own a raphael, i guess the solution will be the same.
Hi All,
When dialling a call, the HTC turns off the screen 5 seconds after the call is connected forcing me to have to press the Power button in order to display the 'In Call Status' window so that I can select the Keypad button to enter the voice mail access code. Additionally, listening to Voice Mail messages and pressing keys is extremely difficult as when I move the phone to my ear to listen to the Voice Mail, the screen blanks out and I must press the Power again to get the Keypad.
Ideally, I would like the screen to remain on between 30-60 seconds so as to allow interaction with the keypad ... such as in Voice Mail.
I've looked at several threads here and on other sites recommending changes to the RIL, Phone, and BackLight registry keys and I have tried some utilities such as 'AdvanceConfig 3.3', 'Kiaser Tweaks 0.41', and 'Diamond Tweak 0.5.3' to name but a few... no luck! At one time, it seemed like I was on the right track with the registry changes ... but the changes actually reduce the delay time to 1 second.
To rule out the possibility of a bad phone, I tested my wife's touch as well ... same result - purchased to identical units; makes it easier to support.
I would greatly appreciate any insight from seasoned experts.
Advance thanks,

when you use the registry tweaks you usually need to do a soft reset, and then the changes take place on bootup.
Hi mikemorris,
Agreed, I've even gone as far as shutting down - Long Power Press. I also have made the registry changes one at a time and captured the before/after settings.
Cheers,
Backlight timeout on calls fuze
I have also tried all the registry tweaks to extend the backlight on calls to something over 5 seconds.....
All my registry changes "TAKE" OK as seen after checking...
The performance changes work great...but not this backlight on calls...
Any fix yet??

Is it possible that someone can develop a simple app for legend, which would make the Home key and Back key act as call attend and call end button on legend?
Home key should only act as call attend while the call is incoming.
and back key should only act as end button while a call is incoming and when the call screen is still visible while on call.
Iam not exactly sure if there is already such an app, i've really tried looking and found none so far.
it would be just great if something like this is possible, there can be times when we just dont want to touch the screen, like while eating or with wet/dirty fingers.
The home button cannot be overridden IIRC. But it should be possible to remap the other ones. ask the creator of your phone app. I think designing a dialer/phone app just for button remapping is asking too much.
You can already use the power button to hang up, enable it in the accessibility setting (or is this cyanogenmod specific?).
Actually iam running stock ROM, I must admit i have not a single clue on how/if its possible. I don't deal with development, I was merely suggesting an idea for those who might be able to do it.
I didn't realize it would require a total rewrite of the dialer app, I was kind of under there impression that it could be possible through some lil hack.
The home button I mentioned was also a suggestion.
